The Credits

     Section 2.01. Commitments to Lend.

     (a) Committed Loans. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, to make loans (which may be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency as
the Borrower elects pursuant to Section 2.02) to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.01(a)
from time to time prior to its Termination Date in amounts such that (i) the Outstanding Amount of
such Lender shall at no time exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and (ii) the Total
Outstanding Amount shall at no time exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Within the
foregoing limits, any Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by
Section 2.10, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time prior to the Termination Date for any Lender
under this Section 2.01.

     (b) Minimum Borrowings. Each Borrowing under this Section 2.01 shall be in an aggregate
Dollar Amount of not less than $10,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate
Dollar Amount of the available Commitments) and shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in
proportion to their respective Commitments.

     (c) Extension of Commitments. (i) Each Lender’s Commitment may be extended, if at the time no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the manner set forth in this subsection (c), on
a single occasion on any anniversary of the date hereof (the “Extension Date”) for a period of one
year after the date on which the Commitment of such Lender would have been terminated. If the
Company wishes to request an extension of each Lender’s Commitment, it shall give notice to that
effect to the Administrative Agent not less than 45 days and not more than 90 days prior to the
Extension Date then in effect, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the
Lenders of such request. Each Lender will use its best efforts to respond to such request, whether
affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its discretion, within 30 days of such request to
the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within such 30-day
period, such Lender shall be deemed to have

14

 

rejected the Company’s proposal to extend its Commitment, and only the Commitments of those
Lenders which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the
Administrative Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit
I hereto (the “Extension Agreement”) duly completed and signed by the Company, the Administrative
Agent and all of the Lenders which have responded affirmatively. The Administrative Agent shall
provide to the Company, no later than 10 days prior to the Extension Date for any such request, a
list of the Lenders which have responded affirmatively. The Extension Agreement shall be executed
and delivered no later than five days prior to the Extension Date, and no extension of the
Commitments pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and
until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered by Lenders having at least 51% of the
aggregate amount of the Commitments.

     (ii) If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Borrower’s proposal to extend
its Commitment (A) this Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date with respect to such
Lender, (B) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on the Termination Date any amounts due and
payable to such Lender on such date and (C) the Borrower may, if it so elects, designate a Person
not theretofore a Lender and acceptable to the Administrative Agent to become a Lender, or agree
with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased, provided that the
aggregate amount of the Commitments following any designation or agreement may not exceed the
aggregate amount of the Commitments as in effect immediately prior to the relevant request. Upon
execution and delivery by the Borrower and such replacement Lender or other Person of an instrument
of assumption in form and amount satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and execution and
delivery of the Extension Agreement pursuant to subsection (c)(i), such existing Lender shall have
a Commitment as therein set forth or such other Person shall become a Lender with a Commitment as
therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder.

     (iii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of each
extension of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection (c).

     Section 2.02. Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice
(a “Notice of Borrowing”) (1) at its New York Office not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City
time) on (y) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing and (z) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before
each Euro-Dollar Borrowing and (2) at its New York Office and its London Office not later than
10:30 A.M. (London time) on the third Euro-Currency Business Day before each Borrowing of
Alternative Currency Loans, specifying:

15

 

     (i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of
a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Currency Business Day in the case of a Euro-Currency
Borrowing;

     (ii) the currency and aggregate amount (in such currency) of such Borrowing;

     (iii) in the case of a Borrowing of Dollar-Denominated Loans, whether such Loans are
to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans; and

     (iv) in the case of a Euro-Currency Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest
Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

     Section 2.03. Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

     (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share of such Borrowing and such Notice of
Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

     (b) On the date of each Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall make available its
ratable share of such Borrowing:

     (A) if such Borrowing is to be made in Dollars, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York
City time), in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the
Administrative Agent at its New York Office; or

     (B) if such Borrowing is to be made in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative
Currency (in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international
transactions in such Alternative Currency) to the account of the Administrative Agent at
its London Office.

Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has
not been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 11.05, the Administrative Agent will make
the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower as directed by the Borrower.

     (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received at its New York Office notice from a
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such

16

 

Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03 and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender and, if such Lender shall not have paid such amount to the
Administrative Agent within two Domestic Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at
the Federal Funds Rate (if such Borrowing is in Dollars) or the applicable London Interbank Offered
Rate (if such Borrowing is in an Alternative Currency). If such Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

     (d) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor
shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Loan on such date.

     Section 2.04. Notes.

     (a) Each Lender may, by notice to the Company and the Agent, request (i) that its Loans to any
Borrower be evidenced by a single Note of such Borrower payable to the order of such Lender for the
account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of such Lender’s Loans to such Borrower or (ii) that its Loans of a particular Type or
currency to any Borrower be evidenced by a separate Note of such Borrower in an amount equal to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form
of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely
Loans of the relevant Type or currency. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Notes” of such
Lender shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may
require.

     (b) Each Lender shall record the date, amount, Type, currency and maturity of each Loan made
by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made with respect thereto, and may, if
such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the
schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with
respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any
such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower hereunder or under
the Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers so to endorse its Notes
and to attach to

17

 

and make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

     Section 2.05. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan of each Lender shall mature, and the principal
amount thereof shall be due and payable (together with interest accrued thereon), on the
Termination Date of such Lender.

     Section 2.06. Interest Rates.

Rate Loan converted to a Euro-Dollar Loan, on the date such amount is so converted. Any overdue

first day thereof.

Period means the rate appearing on the Screen at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Rate
Fixing Date as the rate for deposits in Dollars or the relevant Alternative Currency with a
maturity comparable to such Interest Period. If no rate appears on the Screen for the necessary
currency and period, then the “London Interbank Offered Rate” with respect to such Euro-Currency
Loan for such Interest Period shall be the rate at which deposits in that currency for value on the
first day of such Interest Period with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period are offered by
the principal London office of the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Rate Fixing Date.

excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the higher of
(i) the sum of the Euro-Currency Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate
applicable to such Loan on the day before such payment was due and (ii) the Euro-Currency Margin
for such day plus the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of
1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of
the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than
three Euro-Currency Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than six months as
the Administrative Agent may select) deposits in the relevant currency in an amount approximately
equal to such overdue payment are offered by the principal London office of the Administrative
Agent in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above by (y)
1.00 minus the Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of
each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

     Section 2.07. Fees. (a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders ratably a facility fee in Dollars at the Facility Fee Rate (determined daily in

fee accruing daily on the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender at a rate per annum mutually agreed from time to time by the Company and such Issuing
Lender.

     (c) Accrued fees under this Section shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly
Date and on the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date
the Credit Exposures are reduced to zero).

     Section 2.08. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon at
least three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent at its New York Office, (i)

at such time or (ii) ratably reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any
larger multiple thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the Total Outstanding
Amount. Promptly after receiving a notice pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of the contents thereof.

together with accrued interest thereon to but not including the date of prepayment. Each such
optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in
such Group of Loans.

     (b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of
such prepayment and once notice is so given to the Lenders, the Borrower’s notice of prepayment
shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

     Section 2.11. General Provisions as to Payments.

     (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the
Dollar-Denominated Loans, of Letter of Credit Liabilities denominated in Dollars and of fees
hereunder not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other
funds immediately available in New York

20

 

City, without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction, to the Administrative Agent at its New
York Office. The Borrowers shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the
Alternative Currency Loans and of Letter of Credit Liabilities denominated in an Alternative
Currency in the relevant Alternative Currency in such funds as may then be customary for the
settlement of international transactions in such Alternative Currency, without set-off,
counterclaim or other deduction, to the Administrative Agent at its London Office. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders. Whenever any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which
is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Euro-Currency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Currency Business Day, the date for
payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day unless such
Euro-Currency Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment
thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Currency Business Day. If the date for any payment of
principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such
extended time.

     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative 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 that the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative 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 Administrative
Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate (if such amount was distributed in Dollars) or (ii) the rate
per annum at which one-day deposits in the relevant currency are offered by the principal London
office of the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market for such day (if such amount was
distributed in an Alternative Currency).

     Section 2.12. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to
any Euro-Currency Loan or any Euro-Dollar Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to
Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto, or the last day of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.06(c), or if the
Borrower fails to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Euro-Currency Loans after notice has

21

 

been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), 2.10(b), or 2.15, the Borrower
shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense
reasonably incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan) in
obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties, but excluding loss
of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert
or continue; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate
specifying in reasonable detail the calculation of, and the reasons for, the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     Section 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on Euro-Currency Loans denominated
in Sterling and interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day).

     Section 2.14. Regulation D Compensation. Each Lender may require the Borrower to pay,
contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Currency Loans, additional interest on
the related Euro-Currency Loan of such Lender at a rate per annum determined by such Lender up to
but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B)
one minus the Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered
Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Currency
Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with
respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Currency Business Days after the
giving of such notice, and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Euro-Currency Business Days
prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Currency Loans of the amount then due
it under this Section.

     Section 2.15. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

     (a) The Dollar-Denominated Loans included in each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type
specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from
time to time elect to change or continue the Type of each such Group of Loans (subject to
subsection 2.15(d) of this Section and the provisions of Article 8), as follows:

     (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans
to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day; and

22

 

     (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such
Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an
additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.12 if any such conversion is effective on
any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

     Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”)
to the Administrative Agent at its New York Office not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time)
on the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice
is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a
portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such
portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which
such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each at least
$10,000,000 (unless such portion is comprised of Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely
received before the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end
of such Interest Period.

     (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

     (i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

     (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to
be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section 2.15(a) above;

     (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new Type of Loans
and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration
of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

     (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional
Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

     Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

     (c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents thereof and
such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

23

 

     (d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any Loans
for an additional Interest Period as, Euro-Dollar Loans if (i) the aggregate Dollar Amount of any
Group of Euro-Dollar Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be less than
$10,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers
notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

     (e) The initial Interest Period for each Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans shall be
specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower may specify the
duration of each subsequent Interest Period applicable to such Group of Loans by delivering to the
Administrative Agent at its London Office not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the third
Euro-Currency Business Day before the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period, a notice
specifying the Group of Loans to which such notice applies and the duration of such subsequent
Interest Period (which shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period).
Such notice may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of
the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans
comprising such Group and (ii) the Dollar Amounts of the portion to which such notice applies, and
the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each at least $10,000,000. If no such notice
is timely received by the Administrative Agent before the end of any applicable Interest Period,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that the subsequent Interest Period for such Group of
Loans shall have a duration of one month (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest
Period).

     Section 2.16. Determining Dollar Amounts; Related Mandatory Prepayments.

     (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of each Alternative Currency
Loan as of the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of any such
Interest Period of more than three months, at three-month intervals after the first day thereof,
and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each Dollar Amount so determined by it.
Each such determination shall be based on the Spot Rate (i) on the date of the related Notice of
Borrowing for purposes of the initial such determination for any Alternative Currency Loan and (ii)
on the fourth Euro-Currency Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Amount is to be
determined, for purposes of any subsequent determination.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of the Letter of Credit
Liabilities related to each Letter of Credit as of the date of issuance thereof and at three-month
intervals after the date of issuance thereof. Each such determination shall be based on the Spot
Rate (i) on the date of the related Notice of Issuance, in the case of the initial determination in
respect of any

24

 

Letter of Credit and (ii) on the fourth Euro-Currency Business Day prior to the date as of
which such Dollar Amount is to be determined, in the case of any subsequent determination with
respect to an outstanding Letter of Credit.

     (c) Each determination of a Dollar Amount pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount,
the Total Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrowers shall
within five Euro-Currency Business Days prepay outstanding Loans (as selected by the Company and
notified to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent not less than three Euro-Currency Business
Days prior to the date of prepayment) or take other action to the extent necessary to eliminate any
such excess.

     Section 2.17. Additional Reserve Costs.

     (a) If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of
England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s
Euro-Currency Loans in any Alternative Currency, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay,
contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such
Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the
formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit H hereto.

     (b) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash
margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement
imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding
requirements reflected in an applicable Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage or Mandatory Costs Rate)
in respect of any of such Lender’s Euro-Currency Loans in any Alternative Currency, such Lender may
require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such
Lender’s Euro-Currency Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a
rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such
requirements in relation to such Loan.

     (c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above shall be determined
by the relevant Lender, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error,
and notified to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Euro-Currency
Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loan, and such
additional interest so notified to the Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for
such Loan.

25

 

     Section 2.18. Judgment Currency. If, under any applicable law and whether pursuant to a
judgment being made or registered against any Borrower or for any other reason, any payment under
or in connection with this Agreement is made or satisfied in a currency (the “Other Currency”)
other than that in which the relevant payment is due (the “Required Currency”) then, to the extent
that the payment (when converted into the Required Currency at the rate of exchange on the date of
payment or, if it is not practicable for the party entitled thereto (the “Payee”) to purchase the
Required Currency with the Other Currency on the date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon
thereafter as it is practicable for it to do so) actually received by the Payee falls short of the
amount due under the terms of this Agreement, such Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law,
as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold harmless the Payee against the amount
of such short-fall. For the purpose of this Section, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which
the Payee is able on the relevant date to purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency
and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange.

     Section 2.19. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each
Issuing Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit hereunder denominated in Dollars or in an
Alternative Currency from time to time upon the request of any Borrower; provided that, immediately
after each Letter of Credit is issued (i) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the
aggregate amount of the Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of Letter of Credit
Liabilities shall not exceed $200,000,000. Upon the date of issuance by the Issuing Lender of a
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto,
to have sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have purchased from the Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit and the
related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the proportion their respective Commitments bear to the
aggregate Commitments.

     (b) The Borrower shall give the Issuing Lender notice at least five Euro-Currency Business
Days prior to the requested issuance of a Letter of Credit specifying the date such Letter of
Credit is to be issued, and describing the terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the
transactions to be supported thereby (such notice, including any such notice given in connection
with the extension , renewal or amendment of a Letter of Credit, a “Notice of Issuance”). Upon
receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent,
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of the
amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit. The issuance by the Issuing Lender
of each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3, be
subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and
contain such terms as shall be satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and the Borrower

26

 

shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such
Letter of Credit as the Issuing Lender shall have reasonably requested and (ii) no Stop Issuance
Notice shall be in effect. The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account
issuance, drawing, amendment and extension charges in the amounts and at the times as agreed
between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender.

     (c) The extension, renewal or amendment of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an
issuance of such Letter of Credit, and if any Letter of Credit contains a provision pursuant to
which it is deemed to be extended unless notice of termination is given by the Issuing Lender, the
Issuing Lender shall timely give such notice of termination unless it has theretofore timely
received a Notice of Issuance and the other conditions to issuance of a Letter of Credit have also
theretofore been met with respect to such extension. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or
before the close of business on the date that is one year after such Letter of Credit is issued
(or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension);
provided that (i) a Letter of Credit may contain a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be
extended on an annual basis unless notice of termination is given by the Issuing Bank and (ii) in
no event will a Letter of Credit expire (including pursuant to a renewal or extension thereof) on a
date later than the LC Termination Date.

     (d) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under
such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to
be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the payment date. The Borrower shall be
irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amounts
paid by the Issuing Lender upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit in the currency of such
payment (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of
any kind. All such amounts paid by the Issuing Lender and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall
bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from the date of payment under the Letter of Credit
until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus (i) if such amount is denominated in
Dollars, the Base Rate for such day and (ii) if such amount is denominated in an Alternative
Currency, the sum of the Euro-Currency Margin plus the rate per annum at which one-day deposits in
the relevant currency are offered by the principal London office of the Administrative Agent in the
London interbank market for such day. In addition, each Lender will pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, immediately upon the Issuing Lender’s demand at any
time during the period commencing after such drawing until reimbursement therefor in full by the
Borrower, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of such drawing (in proportion to its
participation therein), together with interest on such amount for each day from the date of the

27

 

Issuing Lender’s demand for such payment (or, if such demand is made after 12:00 Noon (New
York City time) on such date, from the next succeeding Domestic Business Day) to the date of
payment by such Lender of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the (i) if such
amount is denominated in Dollars, the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if such amount is denominated in
an Alternative Currency, the rate per annum at which one-day deposits in the relevant currency are
offered by the principal London office of the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market
for such day. The Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender ratably all amounts received from the
Borrower for application in payment of its reimbursement obligations in respect of any Letter of
Credit, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to the Issuing Lender in respect of
such Letter of Credit pursuant hereto.

     (e) The obligations of the Borrower and each Lender under subsection 2.19(d) above shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the
following circumstances:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit
or any document related hereto or thereto;

     (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the
provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or
thereto, provided by any party affected thereby;

     (iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission
of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be
acting);

     (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the Borrower
may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom
the beneficiary may be acting), the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document
related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

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

28

 

     (vi) payment under a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
against presentation to the Issuing Lender of a draft or certificate that does not comply
with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

     (vii) any termination of the Commitments prior to, on or after the Payment Date for
any Letter of Credit, whether at the scheduled termination thereof, by operation of
Article 6 or otherwise; or

     (viii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Lender (including
the Issuing Lender), the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or
circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (viii),
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s or the Lender’s obligations
hereunder.

     (f) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Lender (including the Issuing
Lender) and the Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur (including,
without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the Issuing
Lender may incur by reason of or in connection with the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or
comply with its obligations to such Issuing Lender hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall
affect any rights the Borrower may have against such defaulting Lender)), and none of the Lenders
(including the Issuing Lender) nor the Administrative Agent nor any of their officers or directors
or employees or agents shall be liable or responsible, by reason of or in connection with the
execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit,
including without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in subsection 2.19(e) above, as
well as (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, (ii) any loss or delay in the transmission of any
document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and (iii) any consequences
arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender, including without limitation any
government acts, or any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under
such Letter of Credit; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Issuing
Lender for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses, and the Borrower shall have
a claim for direct (but not consequential) damage suffered by it, to the extent found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the
Issuing Lender in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with
the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) the Issuing Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of the Letter of Credit. Nothing in this subsection 2.19(f) is intended to limit the obligations of
the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. To the

29

 

extent the Borrower does not indemnify the Issuing Lender as required by this subsection, the
Lenders agree to do so ratably in accordance with their Commitments.

     (g) If the Required Lenders reasonably determine at any time that the conditions set forth in
Section 3.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at such time, then the Required
Lenders may request that the Administrative Agent issue a “Stop Issuance Notice”, and the
Administrative Agent shall issue such notice to each Issuing Lender. Such Stop Issuance Notice
shall be withdrawn upon a determination by the Required Lenders that the circumstances giving rise
thereto no longer exist. No Letter of Credit shall be issued while a Stop Issuance Notice is in
effect. The Required Lenders may request issuance of a Stop Issuance Notice only if there is a
reasonable basis therefor, and shall consider reasonably and in good faith a request from the
Company for withdrawal of the same on the basis that the conditions in Section 3.02 are satisfied;
provided that the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders may and shall conclusively rely upon
any Stop Issuance Notice while it remains in effect.

     Section 2.20. Increased Commitments, Additional Lenders. (a) From time to time the Company
may, upon at least five days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a
copy of such notice to the Lenders), increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an amount
not less than $10,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased Commitments”).

     (b) To effect such an increase, the Company may designate one or more of the existing Lenders
or other financial institutions acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender
which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase
its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a
party to this Agreement with a Commitment of not less than $10,000,000.

     (c) Any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be subject to
satisfaction of the following conditions:

     (i) before and after giving effect to such increase, all representations and
warranties contained in Article 4 shall be true;

     (ii) at the time of such increase, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing
or would result from such increase; and

     (iii) after giving effect to such increase, the aggregate amount of all increases in
Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall not exceed $500,000,000.

30

 

     (d) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall
become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) an agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent signed by the Company, by each Additional Lender
and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of
such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this
Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, (ii) such evidence of appropriate
legal authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments and such
opinions of counsel for the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request and (iii) such evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in subsection (c) above as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

     (e) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.20, (i) the respective Letter of Credit Liabilities of the Lenders shall be redetermined as of
the effective date of such increase in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving
effect to such increase and (ii) within five Domestic Business Days, in the case of Base Rate Loans
then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the
case of Euro-Currency Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay or repay such Loans in
their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions
specified in Article 3, the Borrower shall reborrow Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their
respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding
Loans are held by the Lenders in such proportion.

standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related
constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility
or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual
or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and
expenses). Except as set forth in Schedule I hereto, on the basis of this review, the Company has

effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     Section 4.11. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished in writing by the
Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this

business, operations or financial condition of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, or the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

     Section 7.02. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from
exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
business with any Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary or affiliate of any Borrower as if it
were not the Administrative Agent.

     Section 7.03. Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent
hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any
Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

     Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in

45

 

accordance with the advice of legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent
public accountants and other experts selected by it.

     Section 7.05. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain,
inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this
Agreement or any Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder; (ii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article 3 except receipt of items required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the
Notes, the Letters of Credit or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith.
The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice,
consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire or similar writing)
believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

     Section 7.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment,
indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, their affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against
any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or
liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct)
that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any Letter of Credit
or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder or thereunder.

     Section 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent 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 any action under this Agreement.

     Section 7.08. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right

46

 

to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or
of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative
Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent.

     Section 7.09. Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     Section 7.10. Co-Syndication Agents. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose any duty or
liability whatsoever on any of the Co-Syndication Agents in such capacity.

ARTICLE 8

Change in Circumstances

     Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to
the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Currency Loan:

     (a) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for
determining the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period, or

     (b) Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the
Administrative Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Administrative
Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their
Euro-Currency Loans for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders,
whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise
to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Currency Loans
in the relevant currency,

47

 

or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Currency Loans in the relevant
currency, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Currency Loan in the relevant currency
shall be prepaid (or, in the case of a Euro-Dollar Loan, converted into a Base Rate Loan) on the
last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent at least one Domestic Business Day before the date of any Euro-Currency
Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on
such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing in an equal Dollar Amount.

     Section 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Amended Agreement, the adoption
of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make
it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or
fund its Euro-Currency Loans to any Borrower in any currency and such Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other
Lenders and the Company, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Company and the Administrative
Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such
Lender to make Euro-Currency Loans to such Borrower in such currency shall be suspended. Before
giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Lender shall
designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for
giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender. If such notice is given, each affected Euro-Currency Loan of such Lender then
outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan (in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan, in
a principal amount determined on the basis of the Spot Rate on the date of conversion) either (a)
on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Currency Loan if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Currency Loan to such day or
(b) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and
fund such Loan as a Euro-Currency Loan to such day.

     Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

     (a) If on or after the date of this Amended Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law,
rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or
its

48

 

Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan any
such requirement with respect to which such Lender is entitled to compensation during the relevant
Interest Period under Section 2.14), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on
the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Currency Loans, its Note(s) or
its obligation to make Euro-Currency Loans or its obligations hereunder in respect of Letters of
Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Currency Loan or of issuing or
participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note(s) with
respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after
demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduction.

     (b) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption
of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such
law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a
consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its
Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction.

     (c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of
which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office
if such

49

 

designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not,
in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any
Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

     Section 8.04. Taxes.

     (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and
the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by its income, and franchise taxes imposed
on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender,
taxes imposed on or measured by its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the
jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all
such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities
being hereinafter referred to as its “Taxes”, and all such excluded taxes being hereinafter
referred to as its “Domestic Taxes”). If a Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
8.04) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such
deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Borrower shall furnish
to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.01, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

     (b) In addition, the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

     (c) The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full
amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted by any

50

 

jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. In addition, the Company agrees to indemnify
the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all Domestic Taxes and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case to the
extent that such Domestic Taxes result from any payment or indemnification pursuant to this Section
for (i) Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States or (ii)
Domestic Taxes of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. This
indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent
(as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

     (d) At the times indicated herein, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States shall provide the Company with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI (in each case accompanied by any statements which may be required under applicable Treasury
regulations), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement (i) without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced
rate of United States federal withholding tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this
Section 8.04(d), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation)
has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any
such form with respect to it and the Lender advises the Company and the Administrative Agent that
it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of such taxes. Such
forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the date of the Lender’s execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the
date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and (y) on or before the date
that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change
in the most recent form so delivered by the Lender. If the form provided by a Lender at the time
such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding
tax rate in excess of zero, United States withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded
from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a). In addition, to the extent that for reasons other than
a change of treaty, law or regulation any Lender becomes subject to an increased rate of United
States interest withholding tax while it is a party to this Agreement, United States withholding
tax at such increased rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a).

51

 

     (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Company with the
appropriate form in accordance with Section 8.04(d) (unless such failure is excused by the terms of
Section 8.04(d)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or
8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a
Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become
subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall
take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such
Taxes.

     (f) If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender
pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Lender will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable
Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue
if such change, in the judgment of such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion, is not
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Currency Loans. If (i) the
obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to,
Euro-Currency Loans to any Borrower in any currency has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or
(ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its
Euro-Currency Loans in any currency and the Company shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business
Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the
provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies
the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no
longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or
converted to) Euro-Currency Loans in such currency to such Borrower shall instead be Base Rate
Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency Loans, in the same Dollar Amount as the Euro-Currency
Loan that such Lender would otherwise have made in the Alternative Currency) on which interest and
principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Currency Loans of the other
Lenders. If such Lender notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension
or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall
be converted into a Euro-Currency Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period
applicable to the related Euro-Currency Loans of the other Lenders. If such Loan is converted into
an Alternative Currency Loan, such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
such arrangements as shall be required (including increasing or decreasing the amount of such
Alternative Currency Loan) so that such Alternative Currency Loan shall be in the same amount as it
would have been if the provisions of this Section had never applied thereto.

52

punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of
and interest on each Loan made to and each Reimbursement Obligation incurred by any Eligible

otherwise;

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

     (d) any change in the legal existence, structure or ownership of any Eligible Subsidiary, or

     (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time

the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

     (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Eligible Subsidiary for any

     (g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Eligible Subsidiary, the

might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or
defense to the Company’s obligations hereunder.

Subsidiary under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the

     Section 10.04. Waiver by the Company. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement

Subsidiary in respect thereof.

     Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment
of any amount payable by any Eligible Subsidiary under this Agreement or its Notes is stayed upon

Company hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the
Required Lenders.

     Section 11.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver
thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein
provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     Section 11.03. Expenses; Indemnification.

     (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative
Agent, including fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in
connection with the preparation of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment
hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, including the fees and
disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel, in connection with such
Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting
therefrom.

56

 

     (b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, their respective
affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an
“Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be
designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have
the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct or violation by such Indemnitee of any statute or regulation (provided that such
violation was not the result of any breach of statute or regulation or of any provision of this
Agreement by the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries), all as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.

     Section 11.04. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any
right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities
held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the
aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit
Liabilities held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment
shall purchase such participations in the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the other
Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the
Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section 11.04 shall
impair the right of any Lender or its affiliates to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim
it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of a
Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in the Loans and Letter
of Credit Liabilities, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise
rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as
if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

     Section 11.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be
amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the
Company and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any
Issuing Lender are affected thereby, by it); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall:

57

 

     (a) unless signed by each affected Lender, (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of
interest on any Loan or the amount to be reimbursed in respect of any Letter of Credit or
any interest thereon or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment
of principal of or interest on any Loan or for reimbursement in respect of any Letter of
Credit or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or for termination of any Commitment, (iv)
release the Company from any obligation under Article 10, (v) permit the subordination of
any payment or right of payment due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents or (vi) modify
the right of a Lender to receive a pro rata share of payments as provided herein;

     (b) unless signed by all the Lenders, change the definition of “Required Lenders” or
the provisions of this Section 11.05; or

     (c) unless signed by an Eligible Subsidiary, (w) subject such Eligible Subsidiary to
any additional obligation, (x) increase the principal of or rate of interest on any
outstanding Loan of such Eligible Subsidiary, (y) accelerate the stated maturity of any
outstanding Loan of such Eligible Subsidiary or (z) change this proviso.

It is understood that the operation of Sections 2.01(c) and 2.20 in accordance with their terms is
not an amendment subject to this Section 11.05.

     Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns.

     (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all
Lenders.

     (b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in its Commitment and/or any or all of its Loans and Letter of Credit
Liabilities. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a
Participant, whether or not upon notice to any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender
shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers, the
Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. Any agreement
pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision hereof; provided that such participation agreement may provide that

58

 

such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement
described in clause (a) of Section 11.05 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrowers
agree that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 and Article 8 with respect to its participating interest.
An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection 11.06(c), 11.06(d) or 11.06(f)
below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating
interest granted in accordance with this subsection 11.06(b).

     (c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an
“Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part (equivalent to an initial Commitment of not less than
$10,000,000) of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and such
Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto executed by such Assignee and such
transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of the Company, the Administrative
Agent and each Issuing Lender, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided
that if an Assignee is a Lender Affiliate of such transferor Lender or was a Lender immediately
prior to such assignment, no such consent of the Company shall be required. Upon execution and
delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount
equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee
shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender
with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be
released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action
by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this
subsection, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make
appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the Assignee. In connection
with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $2,500.

     (d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender
from its obligations hereunder.

     (e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company’s
prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such
Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or

59

 

at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.06, but subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this subsection (f), any Lender may from time to time, elect
to designate a Conduit to provide all or any part of any Loan required to be made by such Lender
pursuant to this Agreement or to acquire a participation interest in any Loans extended by such
Lender hereunder (a “Conduit Designation”), provided the designation of a Conduit by any Lender for
purposes of this Section 11.06(f) shall be subject to the approval of the Company, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld. No additional Note shall be required with regard to a Conduit
Designation; provided, however, to the extent any Conduit shall advance funds under a Conduit
Designation, the designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the Note in its possession as an
Administrative Agent for such Conduit to the extent of the Loan funded by such Conduit.
Notwithstanding any such Conduit Designation, (x) the designating Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for its obligations under this Agreement and (y) the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the
designating Lender as Administrative Agent for such designating Lender’s Conduit, in connection
with all of such Conduit’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, unless and until the
Company and the Administrative Agent are notified that the designating Lender has been replaced as
Administrative Agent for its Conduit; any payments for the benefit of any designating Lender and
its Conduit shall be paid to such designating Lender for itself as Administrative Agent for its
Conduit, as applicable; provided neither the Administrative Agent nor any Borrower shall be
responsible for any designating Lender’s application of any such payments. In addition, any
Conduit may (i) with notice to, but without the consent of the Company and the Administrative
Agent, and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or portions of its interest in
any Loans to the Lender that designated such Conduit or to any financial institutions consented to
by the Company and the Administrative Agent providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for
the account of such Conduit to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety, credit or liquidity enhancement to
such Conduit.

     (g) Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that, at any time a Conduit Designation is in
effect, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any
Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other
proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after the
latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit is paid. This Section 11.06(g) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

60

 

     Section 11.07. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and
each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined
in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this
Agreement.

     Section 11.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each Borrower
and each Lender hereby submits, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each
Borrower and each Lender irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in
such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.

     Section 11.09. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto
and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

     Section 11.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE
LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     Section 11.11. Confidentiality.

     (a) The Lenders agree not to disclose, directly or indirectly, any information obtained from
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and will keep such
information confidential; provided that (i) each Lender may use, retain and disclose any such
information to its affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees, insurance brokers, counsel,
public accountants, any Participants, potential Assignees and Participants and any governmental
agency or instrumentality or other supervisory body requesting such disclosure, provided that any
Participants or potential Assignees or Participants shall have agreed to keep such information
confidential in accordance with this Section 11.11, (ii) each Lender may use, retain and disclose
any such information which has been publicly disclosed (other than by such Lender or any Lender
Affiliate thereof in breach of this Section 11.11), and (iii) to the extent that

61

 

such Lender may have received a subpoena or other legal demand for such information, such
Lender may disclose such information; provided that such Lender shall notify the Company of such
demand (to the extent permitted by law and as promptly as practicable) and shall cooperate with the
Company, at the Company’s expense, to take actions necessary to obtain a protective order limiting
the scope of the demand and the use and disclosure of such information.

     (b) The parties hereby agree that, from the commencement of discussions with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transactions”), each party (and each employee,
representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections
6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder) of the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, other
than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with
applicable securities laws.

     Section 11.12 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,

Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information
that will allow such Lender, to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Exhibit 10.A

JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC.

1992 Stock Option Plan

(As amended through January 1, 2007)

	1.	 	Establishment. JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC. (the “Company”) hereby establishes a stock option
plan for certain officers and other key employees, as described herein, which shall be known
as the JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC. 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN (the “Plan”). It is intended that
certain of the stock options issued pursuant to the Plan may constitute incentive stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Incentive Stock
Options”) and the remainder of the options issued pursuant to the Plan shall constitute
nonqualified options. Incentive Stock Options and nonqualified stock options are hereinafter
jointly referred to as “Options.” The Committee may also award stock appreciation rights
along with Options issued pursuant to the Plan and, subject to certain limitations, apart
from Options issued pursuant to the Plan.
	 
	2.	 	Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to induce certain officers and other key employees to
remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries and to encourage such employees to
secure or increase on reasonable terms their stock ownership in the Company. The Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) believes that the Plan will promote
continuity of management and increased incentive and personal interest in the welfare of the
Company by those who are responsible for shaping and carrying out the long-range plans of the
Company and securing its continued growth and financial success.
	 
	3.	 	Effective Date of the Plan. The effective date of the Plan is the date of its adoption by
the Board of Directors, September 23, 1992, subject to the approval of the Plan by the
shareholders of the Company within twelve months of the effective date. Any and all Options
granted prior to such approval shall be subject to such approval.
	 
	4.	 	Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 19, the total number of shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”),
available for awards during the term of this Plan shall not exceed 7,591,758 shares. Shares
of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise of Options or settlement of stock appreciation
rights under the Plan shall be made available from presently authorized but unissued Common
Stock of the Company or authorized and issued shares of Common Stock reacquired and held as
treasury shares, or a combination thereof. If any Option or stock appreciation right shall
be canceled, expire or terminate without having been exercised in full, or to the extent a
stock appreciation right is settled in cash, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the
unexercised, canceled, forfeited portion of such Option or stock appreciation right, or
portion of such stock appreciation right which is settled in cash, shall again be available
for the purpose of the Plan. The surrender of any Options (and the surrender of any related
stock appreciation rights granted under paragraph 18) in connection with the receipt of stock
appreciation rights as

 

 

	 	 	provided in paragraph 18A shall, as to such Options, have the same
effect under this
paragraph 4 as the cancellation or termination of such Options without having been
exercised. If any stock appreciation rights are granted under the Plan separate and apart
from Options (including any grant in connection with the surrender of outstanding Options),
as provided in paragraph 18A, and shares of Common Stock may be issuable in connection with
such stock appreciation rights, then the grant of such stock appreciation rights shall be
deemed to have the same effect under this paragraph 4 as the grant of Options; provided,
however, if any such stock appreciation rights shall be canceled, expire or terminate
without having been exercised in full, or to the extent a stock appreciation right is
settled in cash, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised, canceled,
forfeited portion of such stock appreciation right, or portion of such stock appreciation
right which is settled in cash, shall again be available for the purpose of the Plan. If
the exercise price of any Option granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering shares of
Common Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number
of shares of Common Stock issued net of the shares of Common Stock tendered shall be deemed
delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available
for delivery under the Plan. If any Participant satisfies the Company’s withholding tax
requirements upon the exercise of an Option by properly electing to have the Company
withhold shares of Common Stock, then the shares of Common Stock so withheld shall again be
available for the purpose of the Plan, except that such shares shall not be available for
the granting of Incentive Stock Options.
	 
	5.	 	Administration. (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
“Committee”) consisting of not less than three members of the Board of not less than three
members of the Board of Directors appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors. No
member of the Committee shall be, nor at any time during the preceding one-year period have
been, eligible to receive stock, stock options or stock appreciation rights of the Company or
of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Plan or any other plan of the Company or its
subsidiaries, other than a plan for directors of the Company who are not officers or
employees of the Company which provides for automatic grants without exercise of discretion
by any member of the Board of Directors, or by any officer or employee of the Company.
	 
	 	 	(b) Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority to
establish such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper
administration of the Plan, and in its discretion, to determine the individuals (the
“Participants”) to whom, and the time or times at which, Options and stock appreciation
rights shall be granted, the type of Options, the Option periods, limitations on Option
exercise, and the number of shares to be subject to each Option. In making such
determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by
the respective employees, their present and potential contributions to the success of the
Company or its subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion,
shall deem relevant.

2

 

	 	 	(c) Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall also have complete
authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations
relating to it, to determine the terms and provisions of the respective Option Agreements
(which need not be identical) and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan. The Committee’s determinations on the matters referred
to in this paragraph 5 shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties.
	 
	 	 	(d) Neither the Committee nor any member thereof shall be liable for any act, omission,
interpretation, construction or determination made in connection with the Plan in good
faith, and the members of the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and
reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including
attorneys fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law and under any
directors and officers liability insurance that may be in effect from time to time.
	 
	 	 	(e) A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the acts of a majority of the
members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by
a majority of the Committee without a meeting, shall be the acts of the Committee.
	 
	6.	 	Eligibility. Options and stock appreciation rights may be granted to officers and other
key employees of the Company and of any of its present and future subsidiaries. The maximum
number of shares of Common Stock covered by Options which may be granted to any Participant
within any two consecutive calendar year periods shall not exceed 500,000 shares in the
aggregate. No Option or stock appreciation right shall be granted to any person who owns,
directly or indirectly, shares of stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company. A director of the Company or of a subsidiary
who is not also an employee of the Company or of a subsidiary will not be eligible to receive
any Option or stock appreciation right hereunder.
	 
	7.	 	Rights of Employees. Nothing in this Plan or in any Option or stock appreciation right
shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company and any of its subsidiaries
to terminate any Participant’s or employee’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any
Participant or employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
	 
	8.	 	Option Agreements. All Options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan shall
be evidenced by written agreements (an “Option Agreement”) in such form or forms as the
Committee shall determine.
	 
	9.	 	Option Price. The per share Option price for Options and for stock appreciation rights
granted under paragraph 18, and the per share grant price for stock appreciation rights
granted under paragraph 18A, as determined by the Committee, shall be an amount not less than
100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date such Options or stock appreciation
rights are granted (or, if the Committee so determines, in the case of any

3

 

	 	 	stock appreciation
right granted under paragraph 18A upon the surrender of any outstanding Option, on the date
of grant of such Option). The fair market value of a share of stock on any date shall be the
average of the highest and lowest market prices of sales
of the Common Stock on that date, or on the next preceding trading day if such date was not
a trading day as reported on the New York Stock Exchange or as otherwise determined by the
Committee. However, effective January 1, 2007, in connection with an exercise of options,
to the extent the Participant sells any Shares acquired upon such exercise in a market
transaction on the date of exercise, the sale price(s) for any such Shares shall be the fair
market value.
	 
	10.	 	Option Period. The term of each Option and stock appreciation right shall be as determined
by the Committee but in no event shall the term of an Option or stock appreciation right
exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of its grant. Each Option and stock
appreciation right granted hereunder may granted at any time on or after the effective date
of the Plan, and prior to its termination, provided that no Option or stock appreciation
right may be granted later than ten years after the date this Plan is adopted. The Committee
shall determine whether any Option or stock appreciation right shall become exercisable in
cumulative or non-cumulative installments or in full at any time. An exercisable Stock
Option or stock appreciation right, or portion thereof, may be exercised in whole or in part
only with respect to whole shares of Common Stock.
	 
	11.	 	Maximum Value of Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate fair market value (as defined in
paragraph 9) of the Common Stock for which any Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for
the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan or any other plan of
the Company or any subsidiary shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent the fair market value
of the shares of Common Stock attributable to Incentive Stock Options first exercisable in
any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the excess portion of the Incentive Stock Options shall
be treated as nonqualified options.
	 
	12.	 	Transferability of Option or Stock Appreciation Right. No Option or stock appreciation
right granted hereunder shall be transferable other than options specifically designated by
the Compensation Committee as such and meeting the following requirements of transfer:

	 	(a)	 	by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of a nonqualified option:

	 	(i)	 	pursuant to a “Qualified Domestic Relations Order” as defined in
Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to (A) his or her spouse, children or grandchildren (“Immediate
Family Members”), (B) a partnership in which the only partners are the
Participant’s Immediate Family Members, or (C) a trust or trusts established
solely for the benefit of one or more of the Participant’s Immediate Family

4

 

	 	 	 	Members (collectively, the Permitted Transferees), provided that there may be no
consideration for any such transfer by a Participant

	 	 	Following transfer (if applicable), such Options and stock appreciation rights shall
continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior
to transfer, provided that such Options and stock appreciation rights may be exercised
during the life of the Participant only by the Participant or, if applicable, by the
alternate payee designated under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or the Participant’s
Permitted Transferees.
	 
	13.	 	Exercise of Option; Deferral of Shares.
	 
	 	 	(a) The Committee shall prescribe the manner in which a Participant may exercise an Option
which is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan. An Option may be exercised,
subject to limitations on its exercise contained in the Option Agreement and in this Plan,
in full, at any time, or in part, from time to time, only by (A) written notice of intent to
exercise the Option with respect to a specified number of shares, and (B) by payment in full
to the Company at the time of exercise of the Option, of the option price of the shares
being purchased. Payment of the Option price may be made (i) in cash, (ii) if permitted by
the applicable Option Agreement, by tendering of shares of Common Stock equivalent in fair
market value (as defined in paragraph 9), or (iii) if permitted by the applicable Option
Agreement, partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock. Common Stock may be
tendered either by actual delivery of shares of Common Stock or by attestation.
	 
	 	 	(b) The Committee may provide one or more means to enable Participants and the Company to
defer delivery of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of an Option, on such
terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, including by way of example the manner
and timing of making a deferral election, the treatment of dividends paid on shares of
Common Stock during the deferral period and the permitted distribution dates or events. No
such deferral means may result in any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable hereunder other than as contemplated by paragraph 4 or paragraph 19 hereof.
	 
	14.	 	Withholding. If permitted by the applicable Option Agreement, a Participant may be
permitted to satisfy the Company s withholding tax requirements by electing (i) to have the
Company withhold shares of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) to deliver to the Company
shares of Common Stock of the Company having a fair market value on the date income is
recognized on the exercise of a nonqualified option equal to the minimum amount required to
be withheld, or such greater amount as may be requested by the Participant. The election
shall be made in writing and according to such rules and in such form as the Committee shall
determine.
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the election and satisfaction of any withholding requirement
through the withholding of Common Stock or the tender of shares of

5

 

	 	 	Company Stock may be made
only at such times as are permitted, without incurring liabilities, by Rule 16b-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or such other securities laws, rules or
regulations as may be applicable.
	 
	15.	 	[intentionally omitted]
	 
	16.	 	[intentionally omitted]
	 
	17.	 	Termination of Employment. (a) In the event a Participant’s employment with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries shall be terminated for any reason, except early retirement or total
and permanent disability, all rights to exercise an Option or stock appreciation right shall
terminate immediately.
	 
	 	 	(b) If the Participant should die while employed by the Company or any subsidiary prior to
the expiration of the term of the Option or stock appreciation right, the Option or stock
appreciation right may be exercised by the person to whom it is transferred by will or by
the applicable laws of descent and distribution to the extent it could have been exercised
by the Participant had he lived, by giving notice as provided in paragraph 13, at any time
within twelve months after the date of death unless such Option or stock appreciation right
expires earlier under the terms of the Option Agreement.
	 
	 	 	(c) In the event of termination of employment with the Company due to early or normal
retirement, or due to total and permanent disability prior to the expiration of the term of
an Option or stock appreciation right, the Option or stock appreciation right may be
exercised by the Participant, to the extent it could have been exercised had the Participant
remained actively employed, at any time within thirty-six months (except Incentive Stock
Options which may be exercised within three months) after the date of such early or normal
retirement or total permanent disability, as the case may be, unless such Option or stock
appreciation right expires earlier under the terms of the Option Agreement. Provided,
however, that for certain participants who are officers of the corporation or who are
selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board, nonqualified options granted after July
27, 1999, may be exercised by the Participant for five years of the Option or stock
appreciation right in the event of termination of employment with the Company due to early
or normal retirement, or due to total and permanent disability, prior to the expiration of
the term of the Option or stock appreciation right. For purposes hereof, a Participant’s
employment shall be deemed to have terminated due to (a) early or normal retirement if such
Participant is then eligible to receive early or normal retirement benefits under the
provisions of any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries pension plans; or, in the absence of
a pension plan, provided such Participant retires with ten years of service and is at least
55 years old or retires with five years of service and is at least 65 years old and (b)
total and permanent disability if he is permanently disabled within the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect from time to time.
	 
	 	 	For purposes of this Plan: (a) a transfer of an employee from the Company to a 50% or more
owned subsidiary, partnership, joint venture or other affiliate (whether or not

6

 

	 	 	incorporated) or vice versa, or from one subsidiary, partnership, joint venture or other
affiliate to another or (b) a leave of absence duly authorized in writing by the Company,
provided the employee s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by statute or by
contract, shall not be deemed a termination of employment under the Plan. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, from and after a Change of Control, as defined in paragraph 22, Options
(other than Incentive Stock Options granted prior to May 24, 1989) and stock appreciation
rights shall continue to be exercisable for three months after a Participant’s termination
of employment.
	 
	18.	 	Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with
all or part of any Option granted under the Plan. Stock appreciation rights may be exercised
by a Participant by surrendering the related Option or applicable portion thereof. Upon such
exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the economic value of
such stock appreciation rights determined in the manner prescribed in subparagraph (b) of the
Paragraph 18 and in the form prescribed in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 18. Options
which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable. Stock
appreciation rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with other
provisions of the Plan as shall be determined by the Committee, which shall include the
following:
	 
	 	 	(a) Stock appreciation rights shall be exercisable or transferable at such time or times and
only to the extent that the Option to which they relate is exercisable or transferable.
	 
	 	 	(b) Upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights, a Participant shall be entitled to
receive the economic value thereof, which value shall be equal to the excess of the fair
market value of one share of Common Stock of the Company on the date of exercise over the
Option price per share, multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the stock
appreciation rights shall have been exercised.
	 
	 	 	(c) The Committee shall have sole discretion either (i) to determine the form in which
payment of such economic value will be made (i.e. cash, stock, or any combination thereof)
or (ii) to consent to or disapprove the election of the Participant to receive cash in full
or partial payment of such economic value.
	 
	 	 	(d) The exercise of stock appreciation rights by a Participant pursuant to the Plan may be
made only at such times as are permitted by Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, without liabilities, or such other securities laws or rules as may be applicable.
	 
	 	 	(e) Common Stock subject to the Option to which the stock appreciation rights relate exceeds
the exercise price of such Option.
	 
	18A.	 	Other Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights may also be granted separate
from any Option granted under the Plan to any Participant who at the time of grant is not
then an officer of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (a “Section 16 Officer”). The Committee may also

7

 

	 	 	grant stock appreciation
rights under this paragraph 18A to any person who is not then a Section 16 Officer in
connection with the surrender of any outstanding Option granted under the Plan prior to
September 22, 1993 (and the surrender of any related stock
appreciation rights granted under paragraph 18). Such stock appreciation rights may be
exercised by a Participant by written notice of intent to exercise the stock appreciation
rights delivered to the Committee, which notice shall state the number of shares of stock in
respect of which the stock appreciation rights are being exercised. Upon such exercise, the
Participant shall be entitled to receive the economic value of such stock appreciation
rights determined in the manner described in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 18A and in
the form prescribed in subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 18A.
	 
	 	 	Stock appreciation rights shall be subject to terms and conditions not inconsistent with
other provisions of the Plan as shall be determined by the Committee, which shall include
the following:
	 
	 	 	(a) Stock appreciation rights granted in connection with the surrender of an Option shall be
exercisable or transferable at such time or times and only to the extent that the Option to
which they related was exercisable or transferable. The Committee shall have complete
authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to other stock appreciation
rights, including the periods applicable to such rights, limitations on exercise and the
number of shares of stock in respect to which such stock appreciation rights are
exercisable.
	 
	 	 	(b) Upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights, a Participant shall be entitled to
receive the economic value thereof, which value shall be equal to the excess of the fair
market value of one share of Common Stock of the Company on the date of exercise over the
grant price per share, multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the stock
appreciation rights shall have been exercised. Stock appreciation rights which have been so
exercised shall no longer be exercisable in respect of such number of shares.
	 
	 	 	(c) The Committee shall have the sole discretion either (i) to determine the form in which
payment of such economic value will be made (i.e., cash, stock, or any combination thereof)
or (ii) to consent to or disapprove the election of the Participant to receive cash in full
or partial payment of such economic value.(d) The exercise of stock appreciation rights by a
Participant pursuant to the Plan may be made only at such times as are permitted by Rule
16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, without liabilities, or such other securities
laws or rules as may be applicable.(e) Stock appreciation rights shall be exercisable only
when the fair market value of the Common Stock to which the stock appreciation rights relate
exceeds the grant price of such stock appreciation rights.
	 
	19.	 	Adjustment Provisions. In the event of any change in the shares of the Common Stock of the
Company by reason of a declaration of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend declared
in lieu of an ordinary cash dividend), spin-off, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or
split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or otherwise, the aggregate number and class of
shares available under this Plan (including the per

8

 

	 	 	Participant limit on awards in Section
6), the number and class of shares subject to each outstanding Option and stock appreciation
right, and the option price or grant price and economic value of any stock appreciation
rights shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Committee, whose determination shall be final and conclusive. Unless the Committee
determines otherwise, any such adjustment to an award that is exempt from Code Section 409A
shall be made in manner that permits the award to continue to be so exempt, and any
adjustment to an award that is subject to Code Section 409A shall be made in a manner that
complies with the provisions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a stock
dividend (other than a stock dividend declared in lieu of an ordinary cash dividend) or
split-up (including a reverse stock split), if no action is taken by the Committee,
adjustments contemplated by this subsection that are proportionate shall nevertheless
automatically be made as of the date of such stock dividend or split-up.
	 
	20.	 	Termination and Amendment of Plan. The Plan shall terminate on September 22, 2002, unless
sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate
the Plan, or amend the Plan as it shall deem advisable including (without limiting the
generality of the foregoing) any amendments deemed by the Board of Directors to be necessary
or advisable to assure conformity of the Plan and any Incentive Stock Options granted
thereunder to the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code as now or
hereafter in effect and to assure conformity with any requirements of other state and federal
laws or regulations now or hereafter in effect; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors may not, without further approval by the shareholders of the Company, make any
modifications which, by applicable law, require such approval. No termination or amendment
of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Option or stock
appreciation rights shall have been granted, adversely affect the rights of such Participant
under such Option or stock appreciation rights. The Board of Directors may also, in its
discretion, permit any Option or stock appreciation right to be exercised prior to the
earliest date fixed for exercise thereof under the Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, unless determined otherwise by the Board or Committee, any such amendment shall be
made in a manner that will enable an award intended to be exempt from Code Section 490A to
continue to be so exempt, or to enable an award intended to comply with Code Section 409A to
continue to so comply.
	 
	21.	 	Rights of a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect
to shares covered by his or her Option until the date of issuance of the stock certificate to
the participant and only after such shares are fully paid or with respect to stock
appreciation rights. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such stock is issued.
	 
	22.	 	Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Change of Control, all previously
granted Options and stock appreciation rights shall immediately become exercisable to the
full extent of the original grant. For purposes of this Plan, a “Change of Control” means
any of the following events:(i) the acquisition, other than from the Company, by any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or

9

 

	 	 	14(d)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time) (the “Exchange Act”) of
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
20% or more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the
“Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors (the “Company Voting Securities”), provided,
however, that any acquisition by (x) the Company of any of its subsidiaries, or any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or (y) any corporation with respect to which, following such acquisition, more
than 60% of respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation
and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly
or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Company Voting
Securities immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as
their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition of the Outstanding Company Common
Stock and Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, shall not constitute a change in
control of the Company; or (ii) individuals who, as of May 24, 1989, constitute the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least
a majority of the Board, provided that any individual becoming a director subsequent to May
24, 1989, whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent
Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board,
but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office is
in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the
Directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A
promulgated under the Exchange Act); or (iii) approval by the shareholders of the Company of
a reorganization, merger or consolidation (a “Business Combination”), in each case, with
respect to which all or substantially all of the of the individuals and entities who were
the respective beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Company Voting
Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination do not, following such Business
Combination, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the
then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as
the case may be, of the corporations resulting from such Business Combination in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership immediately prior to such Business
Combination or the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Company Voting Securities, as the
case may be; or (iv) (A) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the company or a (B) sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than to
a corporation with respect to which, following such sale or disposition, more than 60% of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of
the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors is then owned beneficially, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of

10

 

	 	 	the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
sale or disposition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and Company Voting Securities, as the case may be,
immediately prior to such sale or disposition.
	 
	23.	 	Termination of Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the
Committee may in its discretion, commencing at the time of a Change in Control and continuing
for a period of sixty days thereafter, cancel each outstanding Option or stock appreciation
right in exchange for a cash payment to the holder thereof in an amount equal to the number
of Options or stock appreciation rights that have not been exercised multiplied by the excess
of the fair market value per Share on the date of the Change in Control (or, if the Change in
Control is the result of a transaction or a series of transactions described in paragraphs
(i) or (ii) of the definition of Change in Control and the Option or stock appreciation right
is cancelled on the date of the Change in Control, the highest price per Share paid in such
transaction or series of transactions on the date of the Change in Control) over the exercise
price of the Option or the grant price of the stock appreciation right, as the case may be.
	 
	24.	 	Governing Law. The Plan, all awards hereunder, and all determinations made and actions
taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin and
construed in accordance therewith, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the
United States.
	 
	25.	 	Unfunded Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded. No person shall have any rights greater than
those of a general creditor of the Company.
	 
	26.	 	Code Section 409A. The provisions of Code Section 409A are incorporated herein by
reference to the to the extent necessary for any award that is subject to Code Section 409A
to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, the Company does not
guarantee to any Participant or any other person with an interest in an award that any award
intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A shall be so exempt, nor that any award intended
to comply with Code Section 409A shall so comply, nor will the Company or any affiliate
indemnify, defend or hold harmless any individual with respect to the tax consequences of any
such failure.
