Available Investor Principal Collections pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(i) and from the Excess Funding
Account pursuant to Section 4.2(d).

     (f) So long as an Early Amortization Period has not begun, on the Expected Final Payment Date,

Depositor in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement
that has an Adverse Effect and continues for 60 days after the date on which notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to such Depositor by the Indenture
Trustee and continues to have an Adverse Effect for such 60-day period;

29

 

     (b) any representation or warranty made by either Depositor in the related Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement, or any information contained in a computer
file or other list required to be delivered by such Depositor pursuant to the related Sale and
Servicing Agreement, proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when
delivered and has an Adverse Effect, which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for 60
days after the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been
given to such Depositor by the Indenture Trustee and continues to have an Adverse Effect for such
60-day period; provided, however, that a Series 2011-2 Amortization Event pursuant
to this clause (b) will be deemed remedied if such Depositor has accepted reassignment of the
related Receivable, or all of such Receivables, if applicable, during such period in accordance
with the related Sale and Servicing Agreement;

     (c) a Servicer Termination Event that has an Adverse Effect;

     (d) the Note Balance of the Series 2011-2 Notes is not paid in full on the Expected Final
Payment Date;

     (e) the average of the Monthly Principal Payment Rates for the three preceding Collection
Periods is less than 21%;

     (f) on any Determination Date, the Available Subordinated Amount for the next Payment Date
will be less than the Required Subordinated Amount after giving effect to any payments to be made
on such Payment Date, and continues unremedied for five Business Days after such Payment Date;
provided that, for the purpose of determining whether a Series 2011-2 Amortization Event
has occurred pursuant to this clause (f), any reduction of the Available Subordinated Amount
resulting from reallocations of the Available Depositor Principal Collections to pay interest on
the Series 2011-2 Notes if LIBOR is equal to or greater than the prime rate upon which interest on
the receivables is calculated on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date will be considered a
Series 2011-2 Amortization Event only if LIBOR remains equal to or greater than such prime rate for
the next 30 consecutive days following such LIBOR Determination Date;

     (g) the amounts in the Excess Funding Account exceed 30% of the sum of the “Adjusted Invested
Amounts” of all Series for three consecutive Collection Periods, after giving effect to any
payments to be made on each related Payment Date; or

     (h) the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Series 2011-2 and an acceleration of
the maturity of the Series 2011-2 Notes pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Indenture.

then, in the case of any event described in clauses (a) through (c) above that is continuing, after
any applicable grace period, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of a majority of the
Note Balance of the Series 2011-2 Notes by notice to the Depositors and the Servicer (and to the
Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders of Series 2011-2 Notes) may declare that an
Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2011-2 Notes (a “Series 2011-2 Amortization

30

 

Event”) has occurred as of the date of such notice, and, in the case of any event described in
clauses (d) through (h) above, a Series 2011-2 Amortization Event, will occur without any notice or
other action on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2011-2 Noteholders immediately upon
the occurrence of such event.

Section 7.1(a) for payment to the Noteholders of the Series 2011-2 Notes will be deemed paid in
full to the Noteholders the Series 2011-2 Notes on the date on which such funds are distributed to
the Note Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) and will be deemed to be a final payment of
the Series 2011-2 Notes and (ii) if the amounts available for final payment to the Noteholders of
the Series 2011-2 Notes and to the Noteholders of any other Series on any Payment Date are less
than the amount required to be so paid, the available amounts will be allocated to each Series
based on the respective amounts required to be paid to each such Series on such Payment Date.

FORD CREDIT FLOORPLAN MASTER OWNER TRUST A

SERIES 2011-2 ASSET BACKED NOTES, CLASS [A-[__]/B/C/D]

Summary of Terms and Conditions

     This Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as the Series 2011-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Notes”), issued under the Second
Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2001, as amended and restated as of December
1, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of
New York Mellon, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), as supplemented by the
Series 2011-2 Indenture Supplement, dated as of October 1, 2011 (the “Indenture Supplement”
and, together with the Indenture, the “Series Agreement”), and representing the right to
receive certain payments from the Issuer. The Notes are subject to all of the terms of the Series
Agreement. All terms used in this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note that are defined in the Series
Agreement have the meanings specified in the Series Agreement. In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the Series Agreement and this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, the Series Agreement
controls.

     The Class [A-[__]] Notes, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $___________, the Class
[A-[__]/B] Notes, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $___________, the Class [B/C/D]
Notes, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $_____________, and the Class [C/D] Notes, in an
initial aggregate principal amount of $_____________ will also be issued under the Series
Agreement. The rights of the holders of the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Notes rank pari passu with
respect to payments of interest and principal. The rights of the holders of the [Class B/Class C
and] Class D Notes to receive payments on the [Class B/Class C and] Class D Notes are subordinate
to the rights of the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2 [Class B and Class C] Notes to receive
payments as specified in the Series Agreement.

     The Noteholder, by its acceptance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, agrees that it will look
solely to the property of the Issuer allocated to the payment of the Notes for payment under this
Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note and under the Series Agreement and that neither the Issuer nor the
Indenture Trustee is liable to the Noteholders for any amount payable under the Notes or the Series
Agreement or, except as provided in the Series Agreement, subject to any liability under the Series
Agreement.

     This Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note does not purport to summarize the Series Agreement and
reference is made to the Series Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced by this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Indenture Trustee.

     The initial Note Balance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note is $_____________. The Note
Balance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note on any date of determination will be an amount equal to
(a) the initial Note Balance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, minus (b) the aggregate amount of
principal payments made to the Noteholders of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note on or before such
date.

A-4

 

     The Expected Final Payment Date is the September 2013 Payment Date, but principal with respect
to the Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances
described in the Series Agreement. Payments of principal of the Notes will be payable in
accordance with the Series Agreement.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Series Agreement, the Depositors may, from time to
time, direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, to issue one or more new Series of notes.

     On each Payment Date, the Note Paying Agent will pay to each Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Noteholder
of record on the related Record Date (except for the final payment in respect of this Class
[A-[__]/B/C/D] Note) such Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Noteholder’s pro rata share of the amounts held by
the Note Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest and
principal on the Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes pursuant to the Indenture Supplement. Except as
provided in the Series Agreement with respect to a final payment, payments to the Noteholders will
be made (a) (i) if such Noteholder has provided the Note Registrar appropriate instructions at
least five Business Days before such Payment Date and the aggregate original principal amount of
such Noteholder’s Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes is at least $1,000,000, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of such Noteholder or (ii) by check mailed first class,
postage prepaid to each Noteholder (at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note
Register), except that with respect to any Notes registered in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, such distribution will be made in immediately available funds and (b) without
presentation or surrender of any Note or the making of any notation on such note. Final payment of
this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class
[A-[__]/B/C/D] Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final payment delivered by
the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders in accordance with the Series Agreement.

     This Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, Ford
Credit Floorplan Corporation or Ford Credit Floorplan LLC (the “Depositors”), Ford Motor
Credit Company LLC, Ford Motor Company or any Affiliate of any of them and is not insured or
guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

     Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, covenants and agrees that it will not at any time
institute against the Issuer or the Depositors, or join in instituting against the Issuer or the
Depositors, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or
other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

     Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement, the Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes are
issuable only in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer
of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note will be registered in the Note Register upon surrender of this
Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the
Note Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Noteholder or
such Noteholder’s attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and upon
such surrender one or more new Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes in
any authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

A-5

 

     As provided in the Series Agreement and subject to certain limitations forth in the Series
Agreement, Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes are exchangeable for new Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes in any
authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Note Registrar. No service charge may be imposed for any
such exchange but the Issuer or Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with such exchange.

     The Issuer, the Depositors, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Depositors
or the Indenture Trustee will treat the person in whose name this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note is
registered as the owner of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note for all purposes, and none of the Issuer,
the Depositors, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, the Depositors or the Indenture
Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The holder of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D]
Note, and the owner of a beneficial interest in this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance
of such beneficial interest, covenant and agree that (a) they will not at any time institute
against the Issuer or the Depositors, or join in instituting against the Issuer or the Depositors,
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with
any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement or any of the other
related transaction documents and (b) if any Depositor becomes a debtor or debtor in possession in
a case under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise subject to any insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
rehabilitation or other similar proceedings, any claim that the holders of the Notes of any Series
may have at any time against the Issuer’s assets allocated in accordance with the Indenture to any
Series unrelated to such Notes, and any claim that the holders of such Notes have at any time
against the Depositors that they may seek to enforce against such Issuer’s assets allocated to any
unrelated Series, will be subordinate to the payment in full (including post-petition interest) of
the claims of the holders of any Notes of such unrelated Series and of the holders of any other
notes, bonds, contracts or other obligations relating to such unrelated Series.

     The holder of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, by acceptance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note,
and each holder of a beneficial interest therein, agree to treat the Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes as
indebtedness of the Issuer for applicable United States federal, state and local income and
franchise tax purposes.

     THIS CLASS [A-[__]/B/C/D] NOTE IS TO BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER ARE TO BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     The Transaction Parties acknowledge that this Agreement, each Note, each Issuer Document and
each Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement is, in respect of the Lender, a
“Transaction Document” (as defined in the Common Terms Deed) for the purposes of the Common Terms
Deed.

     1.04 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

     (a) As of each Revaluation Date, the Spot Rates shall be used for calculating Dollar
Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative
Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the
Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next
Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Transaction
Parties under the Common Terms Deed or calculating financial covenants under the Common Terms Deed
or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars)
for purposes of the Transaction Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined
by the Lender.

     (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a borrowing, conversion, continuation or
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of
Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such
borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency,
such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to
the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as
determined by the Lender in its sole discretion

     (c) Wherever in this Agreement, in connection with the determination of any Transaction
Party’s performance or observance of any covenant contained in this Agreement on its part to be
performed or observed, an amount, such as a required minimum amount, is expressed in Australian
Dollars, but the amounts to be determined are denominated in currencies other than Australian
Dollars, the equivalent amount in Australian Dollars shall be determined by the Lender.

     1.05 Additional Alternative Currencies.

     (a) The Company may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Rate Loans be made and/or
Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of
“Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other
than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In
the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such request
shall be subject to the approval of the Lender.

     (b) Any such request shall be made to the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., 10 Business Days
prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by
the Lender, in its sole discretion).

     (c) If the Lender consents to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency,
the Lender shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes
to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
as provided in Section 2.02 and for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances as provided
in Section 2.03.

     1.06 Change of Currency.

     (a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency
unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after
the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with
the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of
accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent
with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest
in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with
effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency;
provided that if any borrowing of Loans in the currency of such member state is outstanding
immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such borrowing,
at the end of the then current Interest Period.

     (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Lender may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption
of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or
practices relating to the Euro.

     (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Lender may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in
currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the
change in currency.

     1.07 Times of Day Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be
references to Pacific time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

     1.08 Letter of Credit Amounts Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of
Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter
of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any
Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides
for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of
Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of
Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in
effect at such time.

ARTICLE II.

THE COMMITMENT AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

     2.01 Loans Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make
loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Borrowers in Dollars or in one or more Alternative
Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

14

 

aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any borrowing, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed
the amount of the Commitment; and provided further that the availability of the
Commitment at any time for the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be
reduced by the amount of the Alternative Currency Reserve (if any). Within the limits of the
Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under
this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section
2.01. Loans may be Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Fixed
Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

     2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

     (a) Each borrowing, each conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of a Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice
to the Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Lender
not later than (i) 2:00 p.m. two Business Days prior to the requested date of any borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or of any
conversion of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Eurocurrency Floating Rate
Loans or Base Rate Loans, (ii) 8:00 a.m two Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a
Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any borrowing or continuation of
Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) 3:00 p.m. on the
requested date of any borrowing of Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans. Each
telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Lender of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by
a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each borrowing of or
conversion to Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic
or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a borrowing, a conversion of Loans
from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans, (ii) the requested
date of the borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business
Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of
Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the
duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) the currency of the Loans to be
borrowed, and (vii) if applicable, the Designated Borrower. If the Company fails to specify a
currency in a Loan Notice requesting a borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in
Dollars. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Company fails
to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be
made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a
failure to request on a timely basis a continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans in their original
currency. Any
automatic conversion to Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans shall be effective
as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans. If the Company requests a borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an
Interest Period,

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

15

 

it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Loan may
be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be
prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

     (b) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if
such borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Lender shall make the
proceeds of each Loan available to the Company or the other applicable Borrower either by (i)
crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Lender with the amount of such proceeds
or (ii) wire transfer of such proceeds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to
(and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the Company; provided, however, that
if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by
the Company, there are Unreimbursed Amounts outstanding then the proceeds of such borrowing, first,
shall be applied to the payment in full of any such Unreimbursed Amounts, and, second, shall be
made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan. During
the existence of a Default, no Loan may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency
Fixed Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the
Lender, and the Lender may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Fixed Rate
Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the
amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with
respect thereto.

     (d) The Lender shall promptly notify the Company of the interest rate applicable to any
Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan upon determination of such interest rate. On
the first Business Day of each week following a week during which a Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loan
is outstanding, the Lender shall notify the Company of the Eurocurrency Floating Rate applicable to
such Loan(s) during the preceding week; provided, however, that the Lender shall
incur no liability for failing to provide the Company with such notice. Upon request of the
Company, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of the then current Eurocurrency Floating Rate. At
any time that a Base Rate Loan is outstanding, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of any change
in the Lender’s prime rate used in determining the Prime Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.

     (e) After giving effect to all borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest
Periods in effect.

     2.03 Letters of Credit.

     (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees (A) from time to
time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

16

 

Alternative
Currencies for the account of the Company or any Designated Borrower, and to amend or extend
Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (B) to
honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; provided that the Lender shall not be obligated
to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C
Credit Extension, (x) the Total Outstandings would exceed the amount of the Commitment, and (y) the
Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; and
provided further that the availability of the Commitment at any time for the making
of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be reduced by the amount of the Alternative
Currency Reserve (if any). Each request by the Company for the issuance or amendment of a Letter
of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company that the L/C Credit Extension so
requested complies with the conditions set forth in the provisos to the preceding sentence. Within
the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability to
obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during the
foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that
have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

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

               (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Government Agency or arbitrator shall by its terms
purport to enjoin or restrain the Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable
to the Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Government Agency with jurisdiction over the Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Lender
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or
shall impose upon the Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or
capital requirement (for which the Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on
the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was
not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Lender in good faith deems material to it;

               (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Lender
applicable to letters of credit generally;

               (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Lender, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated
amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case
of a standby Letter of Credit;

               (D) except as otherwise agreed by the Lender, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a
currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

               (E) the Lender does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue
Letters of Credit in the requested currency; or

               (F) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated
amount after any drawing thereunder.

          (iii) The Lender shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Lender would not be permitted at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

17

 

          (iv) The Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Lender
would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the
terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
amendment to such Letter of Credit.

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.

          (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of
the Company delivered to the Lender in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application
must be received by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. at least two Business Days (or such later
date and time as the Lender may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the
proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an
initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit
(which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof;
(D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented
by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Lender may
require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Lender (A) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a
Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Lender
may require.

          (ii) Upon the Lender’s determination that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in
accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender
shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company (or the
applicable Designated Borrower) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each
case in accordance with the Lender’s usual and customary business practices.

          (iii) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Lender
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that
any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Lender to prevent any such extension at
least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless
otherwise directed by the Lender, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the
Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lender
shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, permit the extension of such Letter of
Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;
provided, however, that the Lender shall have no obligation to permit any such
extension if the Lender has determined that it would have no obligation, at such time to issue such
Letter of

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

18

 

Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the
provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise)

          (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of
Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Lender will also
deliver to the Company a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements.

          (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under
such Letter of Credit, the Lender shall notify the Company thereof. In the case of a Letter of
Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the Lender in such
Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Lender (at its option) shall have specified in such notice
that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for
reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified the Lender promptly following receipt of
the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse the Lender in Dollars. In the case of any
such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative
Currency, the Lender shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing
promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment
by the Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the
date of any payment by the Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative
Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the Lender in an
amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Company fails to
so reimburse the Lender by such time, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of
Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the
case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan
Notice).

          (ii) If the Company fails to reimburse the Lender for any drawing under any Letter of Credit
(whether by means of a borrowing or otherwise), such unreimbursed amount shall be due and payable
on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

     (d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the Lender for
each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable,
and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following:

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any
other Transaction Document;

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

19

 

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

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

          (iv) any payment by the Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment
made by the Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or
other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit,
including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

          (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant
Alternative Currency to the Company or any Designated Borrower or in the relevant currency markets
generally; or

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

     The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s
instructions or other irregularity, the Company will immediately notify the Lender. The Company
shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Lender and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

     (e) Role of Lender. The Company agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of
Credit, the Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight
draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person
executing or delivering any such document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;
provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude
the
Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Lender, any of its Related Parties nor
any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of
the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(d); provided,
however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may
have a claim against

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

20

 

the Lender, and the Lender may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but
only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by
the Company which the Company proves were caused by the Lender’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence or the Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation
to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the
Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Lender
shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective
for any reason.

     (f) Cash Collateral.

          (i) Upon the request of the Lender, (A) if the Lender has honored any full or partial drawing
request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has not been reimbursed on the applicable Honor
Date, or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason
remains outstanding, the Company shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

          (ii) In addition, if the Lender notifies the Company at any time that the Outstanding Amount
of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect,
then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall Cash Collateralize
the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

          (iii) The Lender may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash
Collateral required in this Agreement, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order
to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

          (iv) Section 2.04 sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral
hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.04, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge
and deposit with or deliver to the Lender, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit
account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender.
Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Company hereby grants to the Lender a
security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of
the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit
accounts at the Lender.

     (g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Lender and
the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby
Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
Credits (UCP), as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time
of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

     (h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Lender, in Dollars, a Letter
of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal
to 1/4 of

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

21

 

1% per annum times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the
Applicable Margin applicable to standby Letters of Credit times the Dollar Equivalent of
the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the
daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit
shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i)
due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit,
on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly
basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily
amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin
was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the
Lender, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default
Rate.

     (i) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Lender. The Company shall pay to
the Lender, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees,
and other standard costs and charges, of the Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to
time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand
and are nonrefundable.

     (j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

     (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Designated Borrowers. Notwithstanding that a Letter
of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the
account of, a Designated Borrower, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Lender hereunder
for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company,
and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Subsidiaries.

     2.04 Prepayments.

     (a) Each Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to the Lender, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) two Business Days prior
to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) three
Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice
Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies, and (C) on the date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans or
Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans or Base
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole

multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid
and, if Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. If
such notice is given by the Company, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on
the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to clause 11.1 of the
Common Terms Deed.

     (b) If the Lender notifies the Company at any time that the Total Outstandings at such time
exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Commitment then in effect, then, within two Business Days
after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or the Company shall Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding
Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Commitment then in effect;
provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(f)(ii),
the Company shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.04(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings
exceed the amount of the Commitment. The Lender may, at any time and from time to time after the
initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in
order to protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

     2.05 Review and renewal of Commitment

     (a) On or before the date falling 24 months prior to the then applicable Maturity Date (the
“Existing Maturity Date”), the Lender may review its participation under this Agreement.
Following this review the Lender, at its absolute discretion, may offer to extend its participation
under this Agreement to a date falling 12 months after the Existing Maturity Date (the “New
Maturity Date”) by delivering to the Company a signed Renewal Notice attaching a proposed Key
Terms Schedule.

     (b) The Lender’s offer contained in any Renewal Notice delivered in accordance with
Section 2.05(a) may be subject to any conditions precedent or subsequent as the Lender
specifies in its absolute discretion.

     (c) In the course of reviewing its participation under this Agreement in accordance with
Section 2.05(a), the Lender has the absolute right to propose the variation of any and all
of the terms of this Agreement (“Revised Terms”), including, but not limited to, the
Applicable Margin and Commitment, as part of its offer to the Borrowers to extend its
participation. The Revised Terms will be set out in the Key Terms Schedule attached to a Renewal
Notice delivered in accordance with Section 2.05(a).

     (d) If, within 30 days of receiving a Renewal Notice delivered in accordance with Section
2.05(a):

          (i) the Borrowers have signed and delivered to the Lender the Renewal Notice; and

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

23

 

          (ii) the Lender has notified the Company that it is satisfied in its absolute discretion that
all of the conditions specified in the Renewal Notice have been satisfied,

the definition of “Maturity Date” under this Agreement shall be amended to be the New Maturity Date
and the Key Terms Schedule amended in accordance with the Renewal Notice with effect on and from
the date of the Renewal Notice.

     (e) If:

          (i) the Lender does not deliver a Renewal Notice to the Company; or

          (ii) the Lender does not give the notice in Section 2.05(d)(ii); or

          (iii) the Company does not sign and return a Renewal Notice delivered in accordance with
Section 2.05(a) within 30 days of having received it,

the Maturity Date will not be amended and any Revised Terms contained in a Renewal Notice delivered
in accordance with Section 2.05(a) will not apply.

     (f) Nothing in the Transaction Documents obliges the Lender:

          (i) to extend any Maturity Date; or

          (ii) to provide a Renewal Notice.

     (g) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the delivery or acceptance of any Renewal
Notice or any amendment to a Transaction Document pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) or a
Renewal Notice does not:

          (i) affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

          (ii) prejudice or adversely affect any right, power, authority, discretion or remedy arising
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document before the date of any amendment under
Section 2.05(a); or

          (iii) discharge, release or otherwise affect any liability or obligation arising under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document before the date of any amendment under Section
2.05(a).

     2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitment The Company may, upon notice to the Lender,
terminate the Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the amount of the Commitment;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m.
five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction
shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in

excess
thereof, (iii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the amount of the Commitment if, after
giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings
plus the Alternative Currency Reserve (if any) would exceed the amount of the Commitment,
and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the amount of the Commitment, the Letter of
Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Commitment, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The amount of any such Commitment reduction
shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Company.
All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitment shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination.

     2.07 Repayment of Loans Each Borrower shall repay to the Lender on the Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of Loans made to such Borrower outstanding on such date.

     2.08 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Floating Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing
date at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin
plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan which is lent by the Lender from a Lending
Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost, if any; (ii) each
Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for
each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Fixed Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan
which is lent by the Lender from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member
State) the Mandatory Cost, if any; and (iii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Base Rate Loans.

     (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

          (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower under any
Transaction Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Lender, such amount
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

          (iii) Upon the request of the Lender, while any Event of Default of the types described in
clause 5.1(a), 5.1(i) or 5.1(k) of the Common Terms Deed exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest
on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

          (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest)
shall be due and payable upon demand.

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

25

 

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

     2.09 Fees In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section
2.03:

     (a) Commitment Fee. The Company shall pay to the Lender, a commitment fee in Dollars
equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to the Commitment Fee times the actual daily
amount by which the amount of the Commitment exceeds the Total Outstandings. The Commitment Fee
shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or
more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.
The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by
the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin
was in effect.

     (b) [*]

     (c) Other Fees. The Company shall pay to the Lender, in Dollars, such fees as shall
have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such
fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

     2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when
the Prime Rate is determined by the Lender’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of
365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year),
or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which
market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest
shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or
any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that
any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12, bear interest for one
day. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     2.11 Evidence of Debt The Credit Extensions made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts
or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Credit Extensions made by the Lender to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any
failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

26

 

to the Obligations.
Upon the request of the Lender to a Borrower, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender
a Note, which shall evidence the Loans to such Borrower in addition to such accounts or records.
The Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable),
amount, currency and maturity of the Loans and payments with respect thereto.

     2.12 Payments Generally All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated
in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Lender at
its Lending Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified
herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder
with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be
made to the Lender at its Lending Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not
later than the Applicable Time specified by the Lender on the dates specified herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender may require that any payments due under this
Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law
from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make
such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. If
any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

     2.13 Designated Borrowers.

     (a) Effective as of the date hereof each of the Designated Borrowers specified in the
introductory paragraph hereto shall be a “Designated Borrower” hereunder and may receive Loans for
its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     (b) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company
to the Lender (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Lender in its sole discretion),
designate any Domestic Affiliate (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to
receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Lender a duly executed notice and agreement in
substantially the form of Exhibit C (a “Designated Borrower Request and
Assumption Agreement”), provided that the Applicant Borrower has also acceded as an
Additional Borrower and an Additional Guarantor under the Common Terms Deed. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit
facilities provided for herein the Lender shall have received such supporting resolutions,
incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content
and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, as may be reasonably required by the Lender in its
sole discretion, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent the Lender so requires. If
the Lender agrees that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then
promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of
counsel and other documents or information, the Lender shall send a notice in substantially the
form of Exhibit D (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company specifying the
effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

27

 

Borrower for
purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lender agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive
Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that
such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement;
provided that no Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on
behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after such effective date.

     (c) Each Domestic Affiliate that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this
Section 2.13 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant
to this Agreement, each Note, each Issuer Document, each Renewal Notice and each Designated
Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii)
the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and
all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lender, to
any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or
other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers,
or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the
Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent,
acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each
Designated Borrower.

     (d) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the
Company to the Lender (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Lender in its sole
discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such; provided that there are no
outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated
Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Inability to Determine Rates.

     (a) Eurocurrency Floating Rate. If the Lender determines that for any reason in
connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loan or a conversion to or
continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not
being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the
applicable amount of such Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for determining the Eurocurrency Floating Rate with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate
Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or (c) the Eurocurrency Floating
Rate with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Eurocurrency Floating

Rate Loan, the Lender will
promptly so notify the Company. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain
Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until
the Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending
request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Floating Rate Loans in
the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request
into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

     (b) Eurocurrency Fixed Rate. If the Lender determines that for any reason in
connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to
banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for determining the Eurocurrency Fixed Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to
a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or
(c) the Eurocurrency Fixed Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of
funding such Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Company.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans in the
affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Lender revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base
Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

     3.02 Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

     (a) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable
Designated Borrower to pay) to the Lender, (i) as long as the Lender shall be required to maintain
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or
deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such
reserves allocated to such Loan by the Lender (as determined by the Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as the Lender shall be required to
comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or
financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitment or the
funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum
and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs
allocated to the Commitment or the Loans by the Lender (as determined by the Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Company shall have received at
least 10 days’ prior notice of such additional interest or costs from the Lender. If the Lender
fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest
or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

Alternative Currency.

     Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of
Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Fixed Rate Loans) submitted by the
Company shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in

     (c) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the
Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

     8.03 Payments Set Aside To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made
to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of
such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

     8.04 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Transaction Party may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Lender and the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (c) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of subsection (c) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment
or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lender. The Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of the Commitment, the Loans and L/C Obligations at the time owing to it) pursuant to
documentation acceptable to the Lender and the assignee, it being understood and agreed that with
respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding at the time of any such assignment, the Lender may
sell to the assignee a ratable participation in such Letters of Credit. From and after the
effective date specified in such documentation, such Eligible Assignee shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Lender, have the rights and
obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest
so assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
assignment of all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.02,
8.02 and 8.03 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment,
and shall continue to have all of the rights provided hereunder to the Lender in its capacity as
issuer of any Letters of Credit outstanding at the time of such assignment). Upon request, the
Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to the Lender

34

 

and
the assignee, and shall execute and deliver any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate
to give effect to such assignment and to provide for the administration of this Agreement after
giving effect thereto.

     (c) Participations. The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
any Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Company or any
of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of
the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and/or the outstanding Letters of Credit and/or the Loans and/or the reimbursement
obligations in respect of Letters of Credit); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
Borrower for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal
solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i)
postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be made to such Participant, or
(ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant (provided,
however, that the Lender may, without the consent of the Participant, (A) amend any financial
covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be
to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation or to
reduce any fee payable hereunder and (B) waive the right to be paid interest at the Default Rate).
Subject to subsection (d) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.02 to the same extent as if it were the
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of any set off
rights of the Lender (including, without limitation, clause 16.7 of the Common Terms Deed), as
though it were the Lender.

     (d) Limitations Upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.02 than the Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent.

     (e) Certain Pledges. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under the Note, if any) to
secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as
a party hereto.

     8.05 Interest Rate Limitation Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Transaction Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Transaction Documents shall
not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

35

 

Maximum Rate, the
excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged,
or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

     8.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

     8.07 Severability If any provision of this Agreement or any Note, Issuer Document or
Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and any Note, Issuer Document or Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreements
shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     8.08 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

     (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION

IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING

APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY
SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMMON TERMS DEED, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST
ANY BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
COMMON TERMS DEED, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS
SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN CLAUSE 17.4 (NOTICES) OF THE COMMON TERMS DEED. NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

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

SCHEDULE 1.01

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

	1.	 	The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to
compensate the Lender for the cost of compliance with:

	 	(a)	 	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority
(or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions);
or
	 
	 	(b)	 	the requirements of the European Central Bank.

	2.	 	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Lender shall
calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) in accordance
with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Lender as a
weighted average of the Lender’s Additional Cost Rates and will be expressed as a percentage
rate per annum. The Lender will, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a
statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost.
	 
	3.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for the Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating
Member State will be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of
the Lender’s participation in all Loans made from such Lending Office) of complying with the
minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that
Lending Office.
	 
	4.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for the Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom
will be calculated by the Lender as follows:

	 	(a)	 	in relation to any Loan in Sterling:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	AB+C(B-D)+E x [*]
 

100 - (A+C)
	 	per cent per annum 

	 	(b)	 	in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling:

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	E x [*]
 

300
	 	per cent per annum 

Where:

	 	“A”	 	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of
any stated minimum) which that the Lender is from time to time required to maintain as
an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio
requirements.
	 
	 	“B”	 	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin, the
Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to the first
sentence

[*] Confidential Treatment Requested

49

 

	 		 	of Section 2.08(b) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue
amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without counting any increase in interest rate
effected by the charging of the Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest
Period of such Loan.
	 
	 	“C”	 	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that the Lender is
required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the
Bank of England.
	 
	 	“D”	 	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Lender
on interest bearing Special Deposits.
	 
	 	“E”	 	is designed to compensate the Lender for amounts payable under the Fees Rules
and is calculated by the Lender as being the average of the most recent rates of charge
supplied by the Lenders pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per
£1,000,000.

	5.	 	For the purposes of this Schedule:

	 	(a)	 	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them
from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be
appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	 
	 	(b)	 	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contain in the FSA Supervision
Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect
of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	 
	 	(c)	 	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the
activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee
required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount
rate); and
	 
	 	(d)	 	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in
accordance with, the Fees Rules.

	6.	 	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as
percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result
obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be
rounded to four decimal places.
	 
	7.	 	If requested by the Company, the Lender shall, as soon as practicable after publication by
the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Company, the rate of charge payable by the
Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the
relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by
the Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to the Lender for that financial
year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of the Lender.
