      (b)        Any such request shall be made to the Agents not later than 11:00 a.m., 20 
Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as 
may be agreed by the Agents and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, 
the L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion).  In the case of any such request pertaining to 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Agents shall promptly notify each Lender thereof; and in the case 
of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly 
notify the L/C Issuer thereof.  Each Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or the L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of 
Credit) shall notify each of the Agents, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt 
of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate 
Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.
      (c)        Any failure by a Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such 
request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal 
by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be 
made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency.  If the Agents and all the 
Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the 
Administrative Agent 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 Committed 
Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer 
consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent 
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 Letter of Credit issuances. If the 
Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under 
this Section 1.05, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company.  Any 
specified currency of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither Dollars nor one of the 
Alternative Currencies specifically listed in the definition of "Alternative Currency" shall be 
deemed an Alternative Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.
      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 Committed Borrowing in the currency of such member 
state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with 
respect to such Committed 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 either Agent 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 either Agent 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 
Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable), in the case of references relating to the 
Primary Subfacility, or Singapore time, in the case of references relating to the Singapore 
Subfacility.
      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 COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
      2.01        Committed Loans.  
      (a)  Committed Primary Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each 
Primary Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a "Committed Primary Loan") to 
the Primary Borrowers in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time, on 
any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any 
time outstanding the amount of such Lender's Primary Commitment; provided, however, that 
after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing under this subsection (a), (i) the Total Primary 
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Primary Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate 
Outstanding Amount of the Committed Primary Loans of any Primary Lender, plus such Primary 
Lender's Applicable Primary Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus 
such Primary Lender's Applicable Primary Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing 
Line Loans shall not exceed such Primary Lender's Primary Commitment.  Within the limits of 
each Primary Lender's Primary Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions 
hereof, the Primary Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 
2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.  Committed Primary Loans may be Base Rate Loans 
or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
      (b)        Committed Singapore Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, 
each Singapore Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such Loan, a "Committed Singapore 
Loan") to the Singapore Borrowers in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies from 
time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to 
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Singapore Lender's Singapore Commitment; 
provided, however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing under this 
subsection (b), (i) the Total Singapore Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Singapore 
Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Singapore Loans of 
any Singapore Lender shall not exceed such Singapore Lender's Singapore Commitment.  
Within the limits of each Singapore Lender's Singapore Commitment, and subject to the other 
terms and conditions hereof, the Singapore Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), 
prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.  Committed Singapore Loans 
may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
      2.02        Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.
      (a)        Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one 
Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the 
Company's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Committed 
Singapore Loan, the Singapore Administrative Agent), which may be given by telephone.  Each 
such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Committed 
Singapore Loan, the Singapore Administrative Agent) not later than 11:00 a.m.(i) in the case of 
Loans under the Singapore Subfacility, four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of 
a Special Notice Currency) and (ii) otherwise, (A) three Business Days prior to the requested 
date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans 
denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in 
Dollars to Base Rate Committed Loans, (B) four 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 Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (C) on the requested 
date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the Company 
pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative 
Agent (or, if applicable, the Agents) of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately 
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company.  Each Borrowing of, conversion 
to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a 
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 
2.04(c), each Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in 
a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each 
Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is 
requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the 
other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency 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 Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of 
Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, 
(v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) the currency of the 
Committed Loans to be borrowed, (vii) whether each Committed Loan to be advanced in such 
Committed Borrowing is to be a Committed Primary Loan or a Committed Singapore Loan, and 
(viii) if applicable, the Designated Borrower.  If the Company fails to specify a currency in a 
Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall 
be made in Dollars.  If the Company fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed 
Loan Notice or if the Company fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or 
continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate 
Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of 
Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.  Any 
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest 
Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  If the Company 
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such 
Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have 
specified an Interest Period of one month.  If the Company fails to specify whether any 
Committed Loan to be advanced in such Committed Borrowing is to be a Committed Primary 
Loan or a Committed Singapore Loan, such Committed Loan shall be a Committed Primary 
Loan.  No Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan 
denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such 
Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
      (b)        Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, each applicable Agent shall 
promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Share of the 
applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided 
by the Company, each applicable Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details of any 
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Committed Loans denominated in a 
currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection.  In the case of 
a Committed Borrowing, each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan 
available to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Committed Primary Loans) or the 
Singapore Administrative Agent (in the case of Committed Singapore Loans) in Same Day 
Funds at the Administrative Agent's Office or the Singapore Administrative Agent's Office, as 
the case may be, for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any 
Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the 
applicable Agent in the case of any Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on 
the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  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 applicable Agent shall make all funds so received available to the 
Company or the other applicable Borrower in like funds as received by such Agent either by 
(i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America, in the case of 
Borrowings under the Primary Subfacility, or Bank of America Singapore, in the case of 
Borrowings under the Singapore Subfacility, with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer 
of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably 
acceptable to) such Agent by the Company; provided, however, that if, on the date the 
Committed Loan Notice with respect to any Borrowing under the Primary Subfacility 
denominated in Dollars is given by the Company, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the 
proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C 
Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.
      (c)        Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued 
or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During 
the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent 
of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then 
outstanding Eurocurrency 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 Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Singapore Administrative 
Agent, the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate 
Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Singapore Administrative 
Agent, the Company and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America's prime rate used in 
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
      (e)        After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed 
Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, 
there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.
      2.03        Letters of Credit.
      (a)        The Letter of Credit Commitment.
      (i)        Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer 
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Primary Lenders set forth in this Section 
2.03, (1) 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 Alternative Currencies for the account of the Company or its 
Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in 
accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of 
Credit; and (B) the Primary Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit 
issued for the account of the Company or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; 
provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of 
Credit, (x) the Total Primary Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Primary 
Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Primary Loans 
of any Primary Lender, plus such Primary Lender's Applicable Primary Percentage of the 
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Primary Lender's Applicable 
Primary Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed 
such Primary Lender's Primary Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C 
Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  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 proviso 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.  All Existing Letters of Credit shall be 
deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be 
subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
      (ii)        The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:
      (A)        subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested 
Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance 
or last extension, unless the Required Primary Lenders have approved such expiry 
date; or
      (B)        the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after 
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Primary Lenders have 
approved such expiry date.
      (iii)        The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of 
Credit if: 
      (A)        any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or 
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from 
issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any 
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any 
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or 
request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally 
or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with 
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for 
which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the 
Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or 
expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer 
in good faith deems material to it; 
      (B)        the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more 
policies of the L/C Issuer; 
      (C)        except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the 
L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000; 
      (D)        except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the 
L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than 
Dollars or an Alternative Currency;
      (E)        the L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested 
Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency; 
      (F)        such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic 
reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or 
      (G)        a default of any Primary Lender's obligations to fund under 
Section 2.03(c) exists or any Primary Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender 
hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with 
the Company or such Primary Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer's risk with 
respect to such Primary Lender. 
      (iv)        The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer 
would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form 
under the terms hereof.
      (v)        The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit 
if (A) the L/C Issuer 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.
      (vi)        The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Primary Lenders with respect to 
any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C 
Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative 
Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer 
in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer 
Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative 
Agent" as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or 
omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
      (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 L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative 
Agent) 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 L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least 
two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C 
Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their 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 L/C Issuer: (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 L/C Issuer may reasonably 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 L/C Issuer (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 L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  Additionally, the Company shall 
furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and 
information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, 
including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may 
reasonably require.
      (ii)        Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer 
will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the 
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the 
Company and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy 
thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the 
Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested 
date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more 
applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to 
the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter 
of Credit for the account of the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the 
applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C 
Issuer's usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each 
Letter of Credit, each Primary Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and 
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter 
of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Primary Lender's Applicable Primary 
Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
      (iii)        If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, 
the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer 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 (the "Non-Extension Notice Date") in each such twelve-
month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless 
otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a 
specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter 
of Credit has been issued, the Primary Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but 
may not require) the L/C Issuer to 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 L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has 
determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to 
issue such Letter of 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), or (B) it 
has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is 
five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative 
Agent that the Required Primary Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) 
from the Administrative Agent, any Primary Lender or the Company that one or more of 
the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such 
case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
      (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 
L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and 
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
      (c)        Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
      (i)        Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of 
a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company and the 
Administrative Agent thereof.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an 
Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative 
Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (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 L/C Issuer promptly 
following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse the L/C 
Issuer 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 L/C Issuer shall notify the 
Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the 
determination thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C 
Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the 
date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an 
Alternative Currency (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Company shall reimburse 
the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of 
such drawing and in the applicable currency.  If the Company fails to so reimburse the 
L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Primary 
Lender of the Honor Date, 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"), and the amount 
of such Lender's Applicable Primary Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Company 
shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Committed Primary Loans 
(which shall be Base Rate Loans) to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal 
to 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 Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in 
Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).  Any notice given by 
the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be 
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an 
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such 
notice.
      (ii)        Each Primary Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) 
make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, in 
Dollars, at the Administrative Agent's Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an 
amount equal to its Applicable Primary Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later 
than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, 
whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Primary Lender that so 
makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Committed Primary Loan (as a 
Base Rate Loan) to the Company in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit 
the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.
      (iii)        With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by 
a Committed Borrowing of Committed Primary Loans because the conditions set forth in 
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to 
have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed 
Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on 
demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, 
each Primary Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C 
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its 
participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such 
Primary Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
      (iv)        Until each Primary Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance 
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under 
any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Primary Lender's Applicable Primary 
Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
      (v)        Each Primary Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C 
Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as 
contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be 
affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, 
defense or other right which such Primary Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the 
Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the 
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, 
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Primary 
Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject 
to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a 
Committed Loan Notice).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise 
impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any 
payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as 
provided herein.
      (vi)        If any Primary Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent 
for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Primary Lender 
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in 
Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Primary Lender 
(acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon 
for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment 
is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable 
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to 
any Primary Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts 
owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
      (d)        Repayment of Participations.  
      (i)        At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of 
Credit and has received from any Primary Lender such Primary Lender's L/C Advance in 
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent 
receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related 
Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or 
otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative 
Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Primary Lender its Applicable 
Primary Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to 
reflect the period of time during which such Primary Lender's L/C Advance was 
outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative 
Agent.
      (ii)        If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of 
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the 
circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered 
into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Primary Lender shall pay to the 
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Primary Percentage 
thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of 
such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Primary Lender, at a rate per 
annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  The 
obligations of the Primary Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of 
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
      (e)        Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C 
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing 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 Loan Document;
      (ii)        the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that 
the Company or any Subsidiary 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 L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer 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 Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary.
      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 L/C 
Issuer.  The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the 
L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
      (f)        Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any 
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any 
document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter 
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the 
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuer, 
either Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or 
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in 
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders, the Required Primary 
Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of 
gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or 
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer 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 L/C 
Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, 
participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters 
described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such 
clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, 
and the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the 
L/C Issuer'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 L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer 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.
      (g)        Cash Collateral.  (i)  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if the L/C 
Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such 
drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the 
initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in 
order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.
      (iv)        Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to 
deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and 
Section 8.02(c), "Cash Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the 
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for 
the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form 
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which 
documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders).  Derivatives of such term have 
corresponding meanings.  The Company hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for 
the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, 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, interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.
      (h)        Applicability of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the 
Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an 
Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
      (i)        Letter of Credit Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the 
account of each Primary Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a 
Letter of Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable 
Rate 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) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) 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.  If there is any change in the 
Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of 
Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during 
such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 
contained herein, upon the request of the Required Primary Lenders, while any Event of Default 
exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
      (j)        Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  
The Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee 
with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed 
on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit 
on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business 
Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-
ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), 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.  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.  In addition, the Company shall pay directly to the 
L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and 
other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer 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.
      (k)        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.
      (l)        Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit 
issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a 
Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer 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        Swing Line Loans.
      (a)        The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing 
Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Primary Lenders set forth in 
this Section 2.04, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a "Swing Line Loan") to the 
Company and, up to three Domestic Subsidiaries who are Borrowers designated in writing by the 
Company to borrow Swing Line Loans (the "Domestic Subsidiary Swing Line Borrowers"), 
from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount 
not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding 
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Primary Percentage 
of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Primary Lender 
acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Primary Lender's Primary 
Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total 
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding 
Amount of the Committed Primary Loans of any Primary Lender, plus such Primary Lender's 
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Primary 
Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not 
exceed such Primary Lender's Commitment, and provided, further, that neither the Company nor 
any such Domestic Subsidiary Swing Line Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Swing Line 
Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to 
the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company and such Domestic Subsidiary Swing Line 
Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under 
this Section 2.04.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the 
making of a Swing Line Loan, each Primary Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably 
and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such 
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Primary Lender's Applicable 
Primary Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
      (b)        Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the 
Company's irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which 
may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the 
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify 
(i) the Company or the applicable Domestic Subsidiary Swing Line Borrower, (ii) the amount to 
be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (iii) the requested borrowing date, 
which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by 
delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan 
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company.  Promptly 
after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing 
Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the 
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line 
Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  
Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the 
Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Primary Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the 
date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make 
such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of 
Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not 
then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not 
later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the 
amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary Swing 
Line Borrower, as applicable, at its office by crediting the account of the Company or such 
Domestic Subsidiary Swing Line Borrower, as applicable, on the books of the Swing Line 
Lender in Same Day Funds.
      (c)        Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
      (i)        The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may 
request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line 
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Primary Lender make a Committed Primary 
Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Primary Lender's 
Applicable Primary Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  
Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a 
Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of 
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the 
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the 
Aggregate Primary Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The 
Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Committed 
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each 
Primary Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Primary Percentage of the 
amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent 
in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative 
Agent's Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day 
specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each 
Primary Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a 
Committed Primary Loan (as a Base Rate Loan) to the Company or such Domestic 
Subsidiary which is a Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit 
the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
      (ii)        If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a 
Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Committed 
Primary Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to 
be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Primary Lenders fund its risk 
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Primary Lender's payment to the 
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 
2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
      (iii)        If any Primary Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent 
for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such 
Primary Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time 
specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from 
such Primary Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such 
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the 
date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate 
per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  A 
certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Primary Lender (through the 
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be 
conclusive absent manifest error.
      (iv)        Each Primary Lender's obligation to make Committed Primary Loans or 
to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 
2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, 
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such 
Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for 
any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other 
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, 
however, that each Primary Lender's obligation to make Committed Primary Loans 
pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  No 
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the 
Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
      (d)        Repayment of Participations.  
      (i)        At any time after any Primary Lender has purchased and funded a risk 
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on 
account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Primary 
Lender its Applicable Primary Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the 
case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Primary 
Lender's risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing 
Line Lender.
      (ii)        If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal 
or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender 
under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any 
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Primary Lender 
shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Primary Percentage thereof on demand 
of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the 
date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate.  
The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line 
Lender.  The obligations of the Primary Lenders under this clause shall survive the 
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
      (e)        Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be 
responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Primary 
Lender funds its Committed Primary Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to 
refinance such Primary Lender's Applicable Primary Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, 
interest in respect of such Applicable Primary Percentage shall be solely for the account of the 
Swing Line Lender.
      (f)        Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Company shall make all payments 
of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
      2.05        Prepayments.  
      (a)  Each Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent 
and, in the case of any prepayment of Committed Singapore Loans, the Singapore 
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in 
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by 
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) in the case of prepayments under the 
Singapore Subfacility, 10 Business Days or (B) in the case of prepayments under the Primary 
Subfacility, (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans 
denominated in Dollars, (2) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans 
denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate 
Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (3) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate 
Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency 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 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 Base Rate Committed 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, the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid, whether the Committed Loans 
to be prepaid are Committed Primary Loans or Committed Singapore Loans and, if Eurocurrency 
Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.  The Administrative Agent will 
promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of 
such Lender's Share of such prepayment.  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 Rate Loan 
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional 
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Each such prepayment shall be applied to the 
Committed Primary Loans or Committed Singapore Loans, as the case may be, of the Primary 
Lenders or Singapore Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with their respective Shares.
      (b)        The Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the 
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in 
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by 
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the 
prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.  
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given 
by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified 
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
      (c)        (i)  If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Total 
Primary Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Primary 
Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the 
Primary Borrowers shall prepay Committed Primary Loans and/or Swing Line 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 Aggregate Primary Commitments then in effect; provided, however, that, subject to the 
provisions of Section 2.03(g)(ii), the Company shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the 
L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans 
the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Primary Commitments then in effect.  The 
Administrative Agent 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.
            (ii)        If either Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Total Singapore 
Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Singapore 
Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the 
Singapore Borrowers shall prepay Committed Singapore Loans 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 Aggregate Singapore Commitments then in effect.
      2.06        Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  
      The Company may, upon notice to the Agents, terminate the Aggregate Primary 
Commitments or the Aggregate Singapore Commitments, or from time to time permanently 
reduce the Aggregate Primary Commitments or the Aggregate Singapore Commitments; 
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent (and, if such 
notice relates to the Aggregate Singapore Commitments, the Singapore Administrative Agent) 
not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days, in the case of the Primary Subfacility, or 10 
Business Days, in the case of the Singapore Subfacility, 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 Aggregate Primary Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent 
prepayments hereunder, the Total Primary Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Primary 
Commitments, (iv) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Singapore 
Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the 
Total Singapore Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Singapore Commitments and (v) if, 
after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Primary Commitments, the Letter of Credit 
Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Primary 
Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.  The 
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Lenders of any such notice of 
termination or reduction of the Aggregate Primary Commitments or the Aggregate Singapore 
Commitments.  The amount of any such Aggregate Primary Commitment reduction shall not be 
applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Company.  Any 
reduction of the Aggregate Primary Commitments or the Aggregate Singapore Commitments 
shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Share.  All fees accrued until 
the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments or the Aggregate Singapore 
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
      2.07        Repayment of Loans.
        (a)  Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate 
principal amount of Committed Loans made to such Borrower outstanding on such date.
      (b)        The Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the 
date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.
      2.08        Interest.
        (a)  Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan 
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate 
per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Base Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate 
plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office 
in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost; (ii) each Base Rate 
Committed 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 Rate; 
and (iii) each Swing Line 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 Rate.
      (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 Loan 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 Required Lenders, 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 Required Lenders, while any Event of Default 
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.
      (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.
      (d)        Interest on any Base Rate Committed Loan under the Singapore Subfacility shall 
be adjusted by the Singapore Administrative Agent, to the extent necessary, to compensate the 
Singapore Lenders for any funding mismatch resulting from time zone differences between the 
locations of the Administrative Agent's Office and the Singapore Administrative Agent's Office.
      2.09        Fees.  
      In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:
      (a)        Commitment Fee.  The Company shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the 
account of each Primary Lender in accordance with its Applicable Primary Percentage, a 
commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee times the actual daily 
amount by which the Aggregate Primary Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding 
Amount of Committed Primary Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations and 
(ii) to the Singapore Administrative Agent for the account of each Singapore Lender in 
accordance with its Applicable Singapore Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the 
Applicable Commitment Fee times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Singapore 
Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Committed Singapore Loans.  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 Maturity Date.  
The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the 
Applicable Commitment Fee during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and 
multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee separately for each period during such quarter 
that such Applicable Commitment Fee was in effect.
(b)        Other Fees.  
      (i) The Company shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their 
own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the 
Fee Letter.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any 
reason whatsoever.
      (ii)        The Company shall pay to the Lenders, 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 Base Rate is determined by 
Bank of America'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 Committed 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(a), bear 
interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee 
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
      2.11        Evidence of Debt.
        (a)  The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more 
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent and, in the case 
of Credit Extensions under the Singapore Subfacility, the Singapore Administrative Agent in the 
ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Agents and each Lender 
shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the 
Lenders 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 to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict 
between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of 
either Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of such Agent shall control in 
the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender to a Borrower made through the 
Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the 
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender's Loans to such Borrower in 
addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse 
thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments 
with respect thereto.
      (b)        In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Primary 
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice 
accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Primary Lender of participations 
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and 
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Primary 
Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall 
control in the absence of manifest error.
      2.12        Payments Generally; Administrative Agent's Clawback.
        (a)  General.  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 in respect of 
the Primary Subfacility shall be made to the Administrative Agent, and all payments by the 
Borrowers hereunder in respect of the Singapore Subfacility shall be made to the Singapore 
Administrative Agent, in each case for the account of the respective Lenders to which such 
payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent's Office or Singapore Administrative 
Agent's Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 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 under the Primary Subfacility denominated in an 
Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, and all payments by the 
Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans under the Singapore 
Subfacility denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Singapore 
Administrative Agent, in each case for the account of the respective Lenders to which such 
payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent's Office or Singapore Administrative 
Agent's Office, in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the 
Applicable Time specified by the applicable Agent on the dates specified herein.  Without 
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments 
due under this Agreement under the Primary Subfacility (and, if an Event of Default shall have 
occurred and be continuing, the Singapore Subfacility) 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.  Each Agent will promptly distribute to 
each Lender its Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like 
funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office.  All payments received by 
either Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments under the Primary Subfacility in Dollars, 
or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the applicable Agent in the case of payments in an 
Alternative Currency or under the Singapore Subfacility, shall in each case be deemed received 
on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  
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.
      (b)        (i)  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agents.  Unless the applicable Agent 
shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing 
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, 
prior to 12:00 noon, in the case of the Primary Subfacility, or 10:00 a.m., in the case of the 
Singapore Subfacility, on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not 
make available to such Agent such Lender's share of such Committed Borrowing, such Agent 
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with 
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender 
has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and 
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a 
corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable 
Committed Borrowing available to such Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable 
Borrower severally agree to pay to such Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount 
in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount 
is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at (A) in 
the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (B) in the case of a 
payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If such 
Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to such Agent for the same or an overlapping 
period, such Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by 
such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed 
Borrowing to such Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Committed 
Loan included in such Committed Borrowing.  Any payment by such Borrower shall be without 
prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make 
such payment to such Agent.
      (ii)        Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agents.  Unless the applicable Agent 
shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to such 
Agent for the account of any of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will 
not make such payment, such Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on 
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the 
applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if such 
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the L/C 
Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to such Agent forthwith on demand the 
amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, 
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date 
of payment to such Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
      A notice of either Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing 
under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
      (c)        Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to an 
Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the 
foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower 
by such Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV 
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, such Agent shall return such 
funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
      (d)        Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to 
make Committed Loans and, in the case of the Primary Lenders, to fund participations in Letters 
of Credit and Swing Line Loans, and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments pursuant 
to Section 10.04(c), are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Committed 
Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date 
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on 
such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its 
Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
      (e)        Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain 
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any 
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or 
manner.
      2.13        Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 
      If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain 
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or 
the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such 
Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans 
or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its share thereof as provided herein, 
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agents of such fact, and (b) 
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and, in the case of a 
Primary Lender, subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Primary 
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such 
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of 
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing 
them, provided that:
      (i)        if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any 
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or 
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such 
recovery, without interest; and
      (ii)        the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any 
payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of 
this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the 
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or 
subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, 
other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this 
Section shall apply).
      Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.06(d) and (e), each Borrower consents to the 
foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender 
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such 
Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such 
Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
      2.14        Designated Borrowers.  
      (a)  Effective as of the date hereof, Technitrol Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation; 
Pulse Engineering, Inc., a Delaware corporation; AMI Doduco, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation; 
Technitrol Singapore Holdings Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore; 
Pulse Electronics (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore; Pulse 
GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany; CST Electronics Co., Ltd., a company 
organized under the laws of Hong Kong; AMI Doduco Holding GmbH, a company organized 
under the laws of Germany; AMI Doduco GmbH, a company organized under the laws of 
Germany; AMI Doduco Espana S.L., a company organized under the laws of Spain; and AMI 
Doduco Nederland B.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands 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 Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the 
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Material Subsidiary of the 
Company (an "Applicant Borrower") as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, by 
delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to the 
Singapore Administrative Agent and each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in 
substantially the form of Exhibit H (a "Designated Borrower Request and Assumption 
Agreement").  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower 
becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein, the Agents and the Lenders 
shall have consented in writing thereto in their sole discretion and 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 Administrative Agent, as 
may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, 
and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require.  If the 
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders agree 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 Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a "Designated 
Borrower Notice") to the Company, the Singapore Administrative Agent and the Lenders 
specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated 
Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Primary Lenders 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 Committed 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.  Any Applicant Borrower shall, unless the Agents and 
the Singapore Lenders otherwise consent in their sole discretion, become a Primary Borrower 
and not a Singapore Borrower.
      (c)  The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower that is a Domestic 
Subsidiary shall be joint and several in nature.  The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers that 
are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature.
      (d)  Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a "Designated Borrower" 
pursuant to this Section 2.14 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all 
purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, 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 Lenders, 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.
      2.15        Increase in Commitments.  
      (a)        Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the 
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Singapore Administrative Agent and the 
Lenders), the Company may from time to time request an increase in the Aggregate Primary 
Commitments or the Aggregate Singapore Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) 
not exceeding $100,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a 
minimum amount of $25,000,000, and (ii) the Company may make a maximum of four such 
requests (and a simultaneous request to increase both the Aggregate Primary Commitments and 
the Aggregate Singapore Commitments shall be deemed to constitute one such request).  At the 
time of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent and, in 
the case of any request in respect of the Aggregate Singapore Commitments, the Singapore 
Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to 
respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such 
notice to the Lenders).  
      (b)        Lender Elections to Increase.  Each applicable Lender shall notify the 
Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its applicable 
Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Share of 
such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to 
have declined to increase its Commitment.  
      (c)        Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative 
Agent shall notify the Company, the Singapore Administrative Agent and each Lender of the 
Lenders' responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested 
increase and subject to the approval of the Agents and the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not 
be unreasonably withheld), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to 
become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the 
Administrative Agent and its counsel.
      (d)        Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Aggregate Primary Commitments or 
Aggregate Singapore Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Agents 
and the Company shall determine the effective date (the "Increase Effective Date") and the final 
allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Singapore 
Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and 
the Increase Effective Date.  
      (e)        Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such 
increase, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party 
dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for the Singapore Administrative 
Agent and each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and 
attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, 
and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such 
increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan 
Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that 
such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are 
true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15, the 
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be 
deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), 
respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists.  The Borrowers shall prepay any 
Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts 
required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed 
Primary Loans and Committed Singapore Loans ratable with any revised Shares arising from any 
nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.
      (f)        Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 
2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
2.16        Reallocation of Commitments.
      (a)        Request for Reallocation.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the 
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Singapore Administrative Agent and the 
Lenders), the Company may from time to time direct (i) the reallocation of the Aggregate 
Singapore Commitments of the Singapore Lenders as Primary Commitments of such Lenders (or 
their Affiliates, if any such reallocation cannot be effected by any Singapore Lender through the 
designation of a lending office in the United States), or (ii) the reallocation of Reallocated 
Primary Commitments of the Primary Lenders as Singapore Commitments of such Lenders (or 
their Affiliates, as above).  Any such request for a reallocation shall be in a minimum amount of 
$5,000,000, or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and the Company may 
make a maximum of two such requests in any twelve-month period.  At the time of sending any 
such notice relating to a reallocation pursuant to clause (a)(ii) above, the Company (in 
consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Singapore Administrative Agent) shall 
specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no 
event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Singapore 
Lenders).  
      (b)        Lender Consent.  In the case of a reallocation pursuant to clause (a)(ii) above, 
each applicable Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or 
not it consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the decrease of its Primary 
Commitment and the increase of its (or its Affiliate's) Singapore Commitment in an amount 
equal to its Share of such requested reallocation.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the 
Company, the Singapore Administrative Agent and each Lender of the Lenders' responses to 
each request made hereunder.
      (c)        Effective Date and Allocations.  The Agents and the Company shall determine the 
effective date of any reallocation under this Section 2.16 (the "Reallocation Effective Date") and 
the Primary Commitments and Singapore Commitments of the Lenders after giving effect 
thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Singapore Administrative Agent, 
the Company and the Lenders of the reallocated Commitments and the Reallocation Effective 
Date.  
      (d)        Conditions to Effectiveness.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the 
Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of 
the Reallocation Effective Date (in sufficient copies for the Singapore Administrative Agent and 
each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the 
resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such reallocation, and (ii) in 
the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the 
representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and 
correct on and as of the Reallocation Effective Date, except to the extent that such 
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and 
correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the 
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be 
deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), 
respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists.  The Borrowers shall prepay any 
Committed Loans outstanding on the Reallocation Effective Date (and pay any additional 
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding 
Committed Primary Loans and Committed Singapore Loans ratable with any revised Shares 
arising from any reallocation under this Section.
      (f)        Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 
2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
ARTICLE III. 
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
      3.01        Taxes. 
      (a)        Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any 
obligation of the respective Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be 
made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other 
Taxes, provided that if the applicable Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any 
Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (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) the applicable Agent, Lender or L/C 
Issuer, 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 and (iii) such 
Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in 
accordance with applicable law.
      (b)        Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of 
subsection (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant 
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
      (c)        Indemnification by the Borrowers.  Each Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, 
each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any 
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or 
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Agent, such 
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses 
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes 
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A 
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by the Singapore 
Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or 
by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of the Singapore Administrative 
Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
      (d)        Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified 
Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall 
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such 
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, if any, a copy of the return reporting such 
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
      (e)        Status of Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or 
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for 
tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments 
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the 
Administrative Agent and, if such Lender is an Singapore Lender, the Singapore Administrative 
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the 
Company or either Agent, to the extent that such Lender is reasonably able to do so in a timely 
manner, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as 
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  
In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or either Agent, shall, to the extent that 
such Lender is reasonably able to do so in a timely manner, deliver such other documentation 
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or either Agent as will 
enable the Company or such Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup 
withholding or information reporting requirements.
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is resident 
for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Company and the 
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or 
prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and 
from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but 
only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
      (i)        duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN 
claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a 
party,
      (ii)        duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
      (iii)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for 
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such 
Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the 
Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of 
section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in 
section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue 
Service Form W-8BEN, or
      (iv)        any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming 
exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed 
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law 
to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
      Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of 
certain forms and documents to establish each Lender's status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, 
each Lender agrees promptly to deliver, to the extent that such Lender is reasonably able to do so 
in a timely manner, to either Agent or the Company as such Agent or the Company shall 
reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other 
documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any other 
jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws to 
confirm such Lender's entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable 
withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender outside of the U.S. by the 
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender's status for 
withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction.  Each Lender shall, to the extent that such 
Lender is reasonably able to do so in a timely manner, promptly (i) notify the Administrative 
Agent (and, if such Lender is an Singapore Lender, the Singapore Administrative Agent) of any 
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any such claimed exemption or 
reduction, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the 
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-
designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any such 
jurisdiction that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts 
payable to such Lender.  Additionally, each of the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the 
Administrative Agent (and, if such Lender is an Singapore Lender, the Singapore Administrative 
Agent) or any Lender, as either Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the 
Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any 
relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by 
such Borrower to the extent applicable to such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such 
Lender or Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by either Agent or any 
Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with 
respect to such jurisdiction.
      (f)        Status as PMP.  Each Lender which is a party to this Agreement on the date 
hereof represents and warrants to each Dutch Foreign Obligor on the date hereof that is a PMP.  
As of the date on which any Eligible Assignee (or any other Person to whom any Lender assigns 
any of its rights under this Agreement) becomes a Lender hereto, if it is a requirement of Dutch 
law that such Eligible Assignee (or other Person) be a PMP, each such Eligible Assignee (and 
each such Person) represents and warrants to each Dutch Foreign Obligor on the date on which it 
becomes a party to this Agreement as a Lender that is a PMP.  Each such Lender, Eligible 
Assignee or other Person acknowledges that each of the Lenders and each Dutch Foreign Obligor 
have relied upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.01(f).
      (g)        Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any Agent or Lender or the L/C Issuer 
determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it 
has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid 
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to 
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by 
such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such 
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case 
may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental 
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of such 
Agent or Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus 
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such 
Agent or Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event such Agent or Lender or the L/C Issuer is required 
to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to 
require either Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other 
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
      3.02        Illegality.
        If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental 
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to 
make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an 
Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency 
Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such 
Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the 
applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the 
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate 
Loans in the affected currency or currencies, under the affected Subfacility or Subfacilities or, in 
the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative 
Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  
Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to 
the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, 
convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last 
day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue 
to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the 
Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
      3.03        Inability to Determine Rates.  
      If the Required Lenders (or the Required Primary Lenders or Required Singapore 
Lenders, in the case of a determination in respect of one Subfacility) determine that for any 
reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency 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 Rate Loan, (b) adequate and 
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Base 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 Base Rate for any requested Interest 
Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect 
the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will 
promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to 
make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies (and, in the 
case of a request by the Required Primary Lenders or the Required Singapore Lenders, under the 
affected Subfacility) shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of 
the Required Lenders) 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 
Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have 
converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the 
amount specified therein.
      3.04        Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
      (a)        Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
      (i)        impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, 
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with 
or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except (A) any 
reserve requirement reflected in the definition of "Eurocurrency Rate" and (B) the 
requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the 
European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below) or 
the L/C Issuer;
      (ii)        subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever 
with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of 
Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of 
payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified 
Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the 
rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);
      (iii)        the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, does not represent the cost to 
any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the 
Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, 
funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans; or
      (iv)        impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market 
any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate 
Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or 
maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such 
Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or 
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any 
Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or 
the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request 
of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated 
Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or 
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such 
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
      (b)        Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any 
Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or 
such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or 
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's capital 
or on the capital of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence 
of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in 
Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level 
below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding 
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such 
Lender's or the L/C Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's 
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay 
(or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the 
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C 
Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
      (c)        Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer 
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its 
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and 
delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Company shall pay (or 
cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may 
be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
      (d)        Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to 
demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a 
waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's right to demand such compensation, provided that no 
Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing 
provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine 
months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the 
Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such 
Lender's or the L/C Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change 
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period 
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
      (e)        Additional Reserve Requirements.  The Company shall pay (or cause the 
applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such 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 such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good 
faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such 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 
Commitments 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 such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined 
by such 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 (with a copy to the Administrative 
Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a 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.
      3.05        Compensation for Losses.  
      Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to 
time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to 
compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense 
incurred by it as a result of:
      (a)        any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a 
Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether 
voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
      (b)        any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to 
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on 
the date or in the amount notified by the Company or the applicable Designated Borrower;
      (c)        any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any 
Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its 
scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or
      (d)        any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of 
the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 10.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense 
arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from 
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the 
performance of any foreign exchange contract.  The Company shall also pay (or cause the 
applicable Designated Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by such 
Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Designated 
Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded 
each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the 
Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore 
interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, 
whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
      3.06        Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
      (a)        Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation 
under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or 
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any 
Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to 
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its 
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the 
judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts 
payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need 
for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject 
such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to 
such Lender or to such Borrower.  The Company hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable 
Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in 
connection with any such designation or assignment.
      (b)        Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 
3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any 
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company 
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
      
      3.07        Survival.  
      All of the Borrowers' obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the 
Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE IV.

      (ii)        the favorable legal opinion of such local counsel to the Designated 
Borrowers who are Foreign Subsidiaries or Domestic Subsidiaries incorporated in

Loan Parties and the Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably

      (e)        Consents.  All governmental, shareholder and other consents and approvals 
necessary in connection with the Transactions shall have been received and shall be in full force 
and effect.
      (f)        Litigation.  The absence of any action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending 
or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened or contemplated, in any court or before any 
arbitrator or governmental authority that would reasonably be expected to have a Material 
Adverse Effect.

2005.
      (h)        Patriot Act Compliance.  At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date,

56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the "Patriot Act")).
      (i)        No Material Adverse Effect, Etc.  Except as disclosed with reasonable specificity 
prior to August 8, 2005 in the Company's filings with the SEC, the Administrative Agent shall 
be satisfied in its good faith judgment that there shall not have occurred any change since 
December 31, 2004 in the business, assets, liabilities (actual or contingent), operations, condition 
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which could 
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Since August 8, 2005, there shall not 
have occurred and be continuing a material adverse change in the market for syndicated credit 
facilities similar in nature to the credit facilities under this Agreement or a material disruption of, 
or a material adverse change in, financial, banking or capital market conditions that would impair 
the credit facilities under this Agreement, in each case as determined by the Administrative 
Agent or Arranger in its reasonable discretion.
      Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 9.04, for purposes of 
determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4.01, each Lender that has 
signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be 
satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved 
by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received 
notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
      4.02        Conditions to all Credit Extensions.  
      The obligation of each Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension (other than a 
Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Committed Loans to the other Type, or 
a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) is subject to the following conditions precedent:
      (a)        The representations and warranties of (i) the Borrowers contained in Article V 
and (ii) each Loan Party contained in each other Loan Document or in any document furnished at 
any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material 
respects on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, except to the extent that such 
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be 
true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 4.02, the 
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 (except with 
respect to the representation and warranty set forth in Section 5.05(a)(ii))shall be deemed to refer 
to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 
6.01.
      (b)        No Default shall exist, or would result from such proposed Credit Extension or 
the application of the proceeds thereof.
      (c)        The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the Singapore Administrative Agent, 
the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in 
accordance with the requirements hereof.
      (d)        If the applicable Borrower is a Designated Borrower, then the conditions of 
Section 2.14 to the designation of such Borrower as a Designated Borrower shall have been met 
to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.
      (e)        In the case of a Credit Extension to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, 
there shall not have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or 
economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which in the reasonable 
opinion of the Agents, the Required Lenders (in the case of any Loans to be denominated in an 
Alternative Currency) or the L/C Issuer (in the case of any Letter of Credit to be denominated in 
an Alternative Currency) would make it impracticable for such Credit Extension to be 
denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency.
      4.03        Representations.  
      Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only 
a conversion of Committed Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate 
Loans) submitted by the Company shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the 
conditions specified in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the 
applicable Credit Extension.

existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; has the 
corporate power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is now 
engaged or proposed to be engaged in; and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or company

required and in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.
      5.02        Authorization; No Contravention.  
      The execution, delivery, and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to 
which each is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other 
organizational action and do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval of the share-
holders or members or other equityholders of such Loan Party not already received or obtained; 
(b) contravene such Loan Party's Organizational Documents; (c) violate any provision of any 
law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation U of the Board of Governors of 
the Federal Reserve System), order writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award 
presently in effect having applicability to such Loan Party; (d) result in a breach of or constitute 
a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease, 
or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound 
or affected; (e) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien, upon or with respect 
to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party except as 
contemplated, by this Agreement; or (f) cause such Loan Party to be in default under any such 
law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award or any 
such indenture, agreement, lease, or instrument.
      5.03        Governmental Authorization; Other Consents.  
      No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing 
with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection 
with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this 
Agreement or any other Loan Document.
      5.04        Binding Effect.  
      This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents have been duly and validly 
executed by each Loan Party that is a party thereto, and delivered to the Administrative Agent, 
and constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, 
enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, except to the 
extent that such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and other 
similar laws affecting creditor's rights generally.
      5.05        Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect; No Internal Control 
Event.  
      (a)        Except as set forth on Schedule 5.05 attached hereto, as to the Company and each 
of its Subsidiaries:
        (i)        The Audited Financial Statements, together with the opinion thereon of 
KPMG LLP, independent certified public accountants, and the Company's consolidating 
balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidating statements of 
income and retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended as prepared by the 
Company, and the Company's interim consolidated and consolidating balance sheet as of 
June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and 
retained earnings and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, copies of which 
have been furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, fairly present in all 
material respects their financial condition as at such dates and the results of their 
operations for the periods covered by such statements, all in accordance with GAAP 
(subject to year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the interim 
financial statements);
        (ii)        since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been no 
material adverse change in the consolidated condition (financial or otherwise), business, 
or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; 
      (iii)        there are no liabilities, fixed or contingent, which are material but are not 
reflected in the financial statements or in the notes thereto, other than liabilities arising in 
the ordinary course of business since the date of the last financial statement delivered 
under (i) above, or liabilities not required to be reflected on a balance sheet under GAAP; 
and
      (iv)        the Company and its Subsidiaries are not indebted under any credit 
agreement, indenture, purchase agreement (excluding trade debt), guaranty, Capital 
Lease, or other investment or agreement relating to Indebtedness for Money Borrowed 
except as disclosed in the financial statements delivered under (i) above or as set forth on 
Schedule 5.05 attached hereto as of the Closing Date.
      (b)        No written information, exhibit, or report furnished by any Loan Party to either 
Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement contained any 
material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statement 
contained therein not materially misleading, other than unknowing misstatements or omissions of 
facts the occurrence of which could not reasonably have had a material adverse effect on the 
credit decision of either Agent or the Lenders with regard to the Borrowers taken as a whole; 
provided that the foregoing sentence shall not apply to financial and other projections, it being 
understood that each Borrower represents that financial and other projections provided to the 
Agents and the Lenders were made in good faith and based on assumptions believed by each 
Borrower to be reasonable, but that no representation is made as to their ultimate accuracy.
      (c)        Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, no Internal Control Event has 
occurred involving (i) fraud of management or other employees who have significant roles in the 
Company's internal controls over financial reporting, or (ii) a material weakness in the 
Company's internal controls over financial reporting which has or could reasonably be expected 
to have (individually or in the aggregate) a negative impact on the Company's financial 
statements in excess of the Threshold Amount, to which the Required Lenders have reasonably 
objected.
      5.06        Litigation.  
      Except as set forth in Schedule 5.06, there is no action, suit, proceeding, claim or dispute 
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened, at law, in 
equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Company or any 
of its Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or revenues that (a) in any one case or in the 
aggregate, materially adversely affects the financial condition, operations, properties, or business 
of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (b) involves a significant risk of any 
legal impediment to performance by the Loan Parties as a whole of their obligations under the 
Loan Documents.
      5.07        No Default.  
      Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any 
Contractual Obligation that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected 
to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result 
from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan 
Document.
      5.08        Ownership of Property; Liens.  
      Except as set forth on Schedule 5.08 or in the financial statements referred to in Section 
5.05 as of the Closing Date, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have title to, or valid 
leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets, real and personal, including the properties 
and assets and leasehold interests reflected in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.05 
hereof (other than any properties or assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business).  None 
of the properties and assets owned by the Company, the Designated Borrowers or any of their 
Subsidiaries, and none of their leasehold interests, is subject to any Lien, except such as may be 
permitted pursuant to Section 7.01.
      5.09        Environmental Compliance.  
      To the best of the Company's and each Designated Borrower's respective knowledge, 
except as set forth on Schedule 5.09 attached hereto, and except for such matters as could not 
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no real property owned or leased by 
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws, no 
Hazardous Materials are present on any of said real property except in accordance with 
applicable law and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been identified in any 
litigation, administrative proceedings or investigation as a responsible party for any liability 
under any Environmental Laws.
      5.10        Insurance.  
      The properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound 
and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates or Subsidiaries of the Company, in such 
amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies 
engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Company or 
the applicable Subsidiary operates.
      5.11        Taxes.  
      The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns (foreign, federal, 
state, and local) required to be filed and, except for such amounts as are contested in good faith 
and for which adequate reserves are established on its books and records in accordance with 
GAAP, have paid all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges and levies thereon to be due, 
or levied or imposed upon them, including any applicable interest and penalties.  The United 
States federal income tax liability of the Company and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries has 
been audited by the Internal Revenue Service or has been finally determined and satisfied for all 
taxable years up to and including the taxable year ended December 29, 2000.  In addition, neither 
the Company nor any of its Domestic Subsidiaries have any pending material disputes with the 
Internal Revenue Service.  There is no proposed tax assessment against the Company or any 
Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any 
Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement.
      5.12        ERISA Compliance.  
      Each Plan is in compliance in all respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA.  
Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12 attached hereto, no ERISA Event or prohibited transaction 
or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan has occurred and is 
continuing with respect to any Plan; no notice of intent to terminate a Plan has been filed nor has 
any Plan been terminated under circumstances which could result in any material liability to the 
PBGC; no circumstances exist which constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA entitling 
the PBGC to institute proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to administrate, a Plan, nor 
has the PBGC instituted any such proceedings; except as previously disclosed to each Lender in 
writing prior to the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of 
their respective ERISA Affiliates has, within the last six years, completely or partially withdrawn 
under Sections 4201 or 4204 of ERISA from a Multiemployer Plan to the extent ERISA applies 
to such Loan Party; the Company, and each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate have 
met their minimum funding requirements under ERISA with respect to each Plan and there is no 
accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) with respect to any Plan to 
which such standard applies; and neither the Company, the other Loan Parties nor any ERISA 
Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC under ERISA (other than for payment of 
premiums to PBGC not delinquent).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall not be deemed to 
be any breach of representation under this Section 5.12 unless the matters described herein 
would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
      5.13        Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.  
      Set forth on Schedule 5.13 attached hereto as of the Closing Date is a complete and 
accurate list of, and an organization chart showing, all the direct and indirect Subsidiaries of the 
Company, showing the jurisdiction of incorporation of each, and showing the percentage and 
manner of ownership of the outstanding stock of each Subsidiary.  All of the Foreign Obligors 
and all of the Domestic Subsidiaries which are Loan Parties are wholly-owned Subsidiaries, 
directly or indirectly, of the Company (with the exception of director qualifying shares in any 
Subsidiary).  To the Borrowers' knowledge, all of the outstanding Equity Interests of each 
Subsidiary have been validly issued, fully paid and are nonassessable, and such Equity Interests 
are owned free and clear of all Liens except those permitted by Section 7.01 hereof.  To the 
Borrowers' knowledge, all of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Company have been validly 
issued, fully paid and are nonassessable.
      5.14        Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding 
Company Act.  
      (a)        The proceeds of the borrowings made hereunder will be used by the Company 
and the Designated Borrowers only for the purposes expressly authorized herein.  None of such 
proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any 
margin stock or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally 
incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other purpose which violates or which 
would be inconsistent with Regulation U (12 CFR Part 221) or Regulation X (12 CFR Part 224) 
of the Board.  Neither the Company nor any of the Designated Borrowers nor any agent acting 
on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or any of the 
documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto to violate any regulation of the Board or to 
violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, or any state securities laws, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. 
      (b)        No Loan Party nor any Person Controlling the Company or any Subsidiary is (i) 
an "investment company," or an "affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" 
for, an "investment company", as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 
1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. S 80a-1, et seq.) or (ii) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary 
company" or "affiliate" of a "holding company" as such terms are defined in the Public Utility 
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.  The application of the proceeds of the Loans and 
repayment thereof by the Loan Parties and the performance by the Loan Parties of the 
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not violate any provision of said Act, or 
any rule, regulation or order issued by the SEC thereunder, in each case as in effect on the date 
hereof.
      5.15        Disclosure.  
      Neither (a) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or certificate or document 
executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in accordance with or 
pursuant to any Loan Document nor (b) any written statement provided to either Agent in 
connection with the negotiation or preparation of the Loan Documents contains any 
misrepresentation or untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary, 
in light of the circumstance under which it was made, in order to make any warranty, 
representation or statement contained therein not misleading.
      5.16        Compliance with Laws.  
      Except as otherwise specifically disclosed in this Article V or on any Schedule referred to 
herein or except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the 
Company and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and 
orders applicable to any of them or any of their respective properties.
      5.17        Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc.  
      Except as set forth on Schedule 5.17 (all of which could not reasonably be expected to 
result in a Material Adverse Effect) and as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material 
Adverse Effect, (a) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all licenses, permits, fran-
chises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and tradenames or rights thereto, necessary for the 
conduct of its business substantially as now conducted and as presently proposed to be 
conducted, without conflict with the rights of other Persons, and (b) neither the Company nor 
any of its Subsidiaries are in violation of any valid rights of others with respect to any of the 
foregoing.  No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best 
knowledge of the Company, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could 
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
      5.18         Representations as to Foreign Obligors. 
      Each of the Company and each Foreign Obligor represents and warrants to the Agents 
and the Lenders that:
      (a)        Such Foreign Obligor is subject to civil and commercial Laws with respect to its 
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party 
(collectively as to such Foreign Obligor, the "Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents"), and the 
execution, delivery and performance by such Foreign Obligor of the Applicable Foreign Obligor 
Documents constitute and will constitute private and commercial acts and not public or 
governmental acts.  Neither such Foreign Obligor nor any of its property has any immunity from 
jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment 
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under the laws of the 
jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing in respect of its obligations 
under the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents.
      (b)        The Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents are in proper legal form under the 
Laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing for the 
enforcement thereof against such Foreign Obligor under the Laws of such jurisdiction, and to 
ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence of the Applicable 
Foreign Obligor Documents.  It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, 
priority or admissibility in evidence of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents that the 
Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or 
notarized before, any court or other authority in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is 
organized and existing or that any registration charge or stamp or similar tax be paid on or in 
respect of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents or any other document, except for (i) any 
such filing, registration, recording, execution or notarization as has been made or is not required 
to be made until the Applicable Foreign Obligor Document or any other document is sought to 
be enforced and (ii) any charge or tax as has been timely paid.
      (c)        There is no tax, levy, impost, duty, fee, assessment or other governmental charge, 
or any deduction or withholding, imposed by any Governmental Authority in or of the 
jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing either (i) on or by virtue of 
the execution or delivery of the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents or (ii) on any payment to 
be made by such Foreign Obligor pursuant to the Applicable Foreign Obligor Documents, except 
as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent.
      (d)        The execution, delivery and performance of the Applicable Foreign Obligor 
Documents executed by such Foreign Obligor are, under applicable foreign exchange control 
regulations of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Obligor is organized and existing, not 
subject to any notification or authorization except (i) such as have been made or obtained or (ii) 
such as cannot be made or obtained until a later date (provided that any notification or 
authorization described in clause (ii) shall be made or obtained as soon as is reasonably 
practicable).
      5.19        Representations as to Dutch Foreign Obligors.
        Each Dutch Foreign Obligor represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that:
      (a)        On the date of this Agreement, such Dutch Foreign Obligor has verified the status 
of each Person which is a Lender under a Loan Document on such date and each such Lender is 
either (i) a PMP in accordance with the requirements of the Dutch Exemption Regulation and the 
Dutch Policy Guidelines and/or (ii) is exempted from the PMP requirement because it forms a 
closed circle (gesloten kring) with the relevant Dutch Foreign Obligor; and
      (b)        As of the date on which an Eligible Assignee (or any other Person to whom any 
Lender assigns any of its rights under a Loan Document) becomes a Lender under a Loan 
Document, if it is a requirement of Dutch law that such Eligible Assignee (or other Person) be a 
PMP, such Dutch Foreign Obligor represents and warrants to the Lenders on the date on which 
each such Eligible Assignee (and each such other Person) becomes a party to a Loan Document 
as a Lender that such Dutch Foreign Obligor has verified the status of such Eligible Assignee (or 
such Person) on such date and each such Lender is either (i) a PMP in accordance with the 
requirements of the Dutch Exemption Regulation and the Dutch Policy Guidelines and/or (ii) is 
exempted from the PMP requirement because it forms a closed circle (gesloten kring) with the 
relevant Dutch Foreign Obligor.
ARTICLE VI. 
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
      So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other 
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, or any Letter of Credit shall remain 
outstanding, the Company shall, and shall (except in the case of the covenants set forth in 
Sections 6.01, 6.02, and 6.03) cause each Subsidiary to:
      6.01        Financial Statements.  
      Deliver to each Agent and each Lender, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the 
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders:
      (a)        as soon as available, but in any event within 90 days (or such earlier date as the 
Company is required by the SEC to file the same with the SEC) after the end of each fiscal year 
of the Company, a consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of the Company and its 
Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year, and the related consolidated and consolidating 
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for such fiscal year, setting forth in 
each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and 
prepared in accordance with GAAP, such consolidated statements to be audited, it being 
understood that such consolidated statement may be provided in the form of a copy of the 
Company's Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, and accompanied by (i) a report and opinion of a 
Registered Public Accounting Firm of nationally recognized standing reasonably acceptable to 
the Required Lenders, which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted auditing standards and applicable Securities Laws and shall not be subject to any 
"going concern" or like qualification or exception or subject to any qualification or exception as 
to the scope of such audit to which the Required Lenders reasonably object, and (ii) an 
attestation report of such Registered Public Accounting Firm as to the Borrower's internal 
controls pursuant to Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley expressing a conclusion which does not have 
or could not reasonably be expected to have (individually or in the aggregate) a negative impact 
on the Company's consolidated financial statements in excess of the Threshold Amount to which 
the Required Lenders reasonably object, and such consolidating statements to be certified by a 
Responsible Officer of the Company to the effect that such statements are fairly stated in all 
material respects when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements of the 
Company and its Subsidiaries; and
      (b)        as soon as available, but in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the 
first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, a consolidated and consolidating

received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the 
following order:
      First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, 
expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the 
Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative 
Agent in its capacity as such;
      Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and

Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be 
applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.
ARTICLE IX.  THE AGENTS
      9.01        Appointment and Authority.  
      Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to 
act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and

such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Each of the Lenders hereby 
irrevocably appoints Bank of America Singapore to act on its behalf as the Singapore 
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the 
Singapore Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as 
are delegated to the Singapore Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together 
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article 
are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither any Borrower 
nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
      9.02        Rights as a Lender.  
      Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its 
capacity, if any, as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were 
not an Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or 
unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its 
individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act 
as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of 
business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were 
not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
      9.03        Exculpatory Provisions.  
      Neither Agent shall have any duties nor obligations except those expressly set forth 
herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
neither Agent:
      (a)        shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of 
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
      (b)        shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any 
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated 
hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as 
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the 
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), 
provided that neither Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the 
opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan 
Document or applicable law; and
      (c)        shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan 
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, 
any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or 
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any 
of its Affiliates in any capacity.
      Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or 
at the request of the Required Lenders, the Required Primary Lenders or the Required Singapore 
Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, 
or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as 
provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful 
misconduct.  Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until 
notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Company, a Lender or the L/C 
Issuer.
      Neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any 
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other 
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder 
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any 
of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the 
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this 
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the 
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than, in the case of 
the Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the 
Administrative Agent.
      9.04        Reliance by Agents.  
      Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying 
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing 
(including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) 
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the 
proper Person.  Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone 
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for 
relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a 
Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of 
a Lender or the L/C Issuer, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such 
Lender or the L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such 
Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of 
Credit.  Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), 
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action 
taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or 
experts.
      9.05        Delegation of Duties.  
      Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers 
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents 
appointed by such Agent.  Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its 
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The 
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties 
of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection 
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.
      9.06        Resignation of Agent.  
      Either Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer 
and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall 
have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor.  Any successor 
Administrative Agent shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any 
such bank with an office in the United States.  Any successor Singapore Administrative Agent 
shall be a bank with an office in Singapore, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in 
Singapore.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall 
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its 
resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and, in the case of a retiring 
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set 
forth above; provided that if the retiring Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no 
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless 
become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged 
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all 
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent 
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the 
Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the 
acceptance of a successor's appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to 
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) 
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder 
or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in 
this Section).  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those 
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  
After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the 
provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such 
retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken 
or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.
      Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 
shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  Upon the acceptance 
of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall 
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring 
L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be 
discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan 
Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the 
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements 
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C 
Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
      9.07        Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  
      Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without 
reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it 
will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender or any of their 
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem 
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based 
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document 
furnished hereunder or thereunder.
      9.08        No Other Duties, Etc.  
      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Book Managers, 
Arranger, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall 
have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan 
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the 
L/C Issuer hereunder.
      9.09        Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  
      In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, 
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any 
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C 
Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and 
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) 
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
      (a)        to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest 
owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that 
are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable 
in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent 
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and 
advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their 
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and 
the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such 
judicial proceeding; and
      (b)        to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable 
on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in 
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make 
such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall 
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the 
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements 
and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due 
the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.
      Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to 
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of 
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of 
any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any 
Lender in any such proceeding.
      9.10        Guaranty Matters.  
      The Lenders, the Singapore Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer irrevocably 
authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Subsidiary 
Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a 
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder and the approval of the Required 
Lenders is obtained.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required 
Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release any Subsidiary 
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

and the L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication 
(including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the

L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the

communication.  Either Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and 
other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures 
approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or 
communications.
      Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other 
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of 
an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" 
function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such 
notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such 
notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the

OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY 
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-

Borrower, any other Agent or Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, 
damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of 
any Borrower's or Agent's transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to 
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of 
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross 
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall 
any Agent Party have any liability to any Borrower, any other Agent or Lender, the L/C Issuer or 
any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed 
to direct or actual damages).
      (d)        Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Borrowers, each Agent, the L/C Issuer and 
the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and

number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and 
(ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.
      (e)        Reliance by Agents, L/C Issuer and Lenders.  Each Agent, the L/C Issuer and the 
Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan 
Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even 
if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not 
preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as 
understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Company shall 
indemnify each Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from 
all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each 
notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower.  All telephonic notices to and other 
telephonic communications with either Agent may be recorded by such Agent, and each of the 
parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
      10.03          No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  
      No failure by any Lender or Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in 
exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor 
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude 
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or 
privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not 
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
      10.04          Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan 
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof 
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all 
reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the 
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment

Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, 
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
      (b)        Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify each Agent (and 
any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the 
foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each 
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses 
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall 
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements 
for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted 
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising 
out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any 
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the 
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the 
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agents 
(and any sub-agent thereof) and their respective Related Parties only, the administration of this 
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or 
proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a 
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such 
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged 
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any 
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any 
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, 
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or 
any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any other Loan Party, 
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused 
by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the 
Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the 
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a 
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the 
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by 
the Company or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such 
Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such 
other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as 
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
      (c)        Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Company for any reason fails 
to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by 
it to either Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the 
foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C 
Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Applicable Percentage 
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is 
sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, 
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted 
against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against 
any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C 
Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) 
are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).
      (d)        Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by 
applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to 
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any 
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions 
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  
No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from 
the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through 
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this 
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
      (e)        Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten

Agents and the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate 
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
      10.05          Payments Set Aside.  
      To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to either Agent, 
the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or either Agent, the L/C Issuer or any 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 either Agent, the L/C Issuer or such 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 (a) 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, and (b) each Lender and 
the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to each Agent upon demand its applicable share (without 
duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by such Agent, plus interest thereon 
from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the 
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such 
recovery or payment.  The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the 
preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of 
this Agreement.

and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the 
L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of

that 
      (i)        except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the 
assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an 
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a 
Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans 
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal 
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such 
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to 
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified 
in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than 
$5,000,000 unless, in each case, each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no 
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each 
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that 
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments 
from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible 
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for 
purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
      (ii)        each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate 
part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with 
respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not 
apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans;
      (iii)        any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative 
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the Person that is the proposed 
assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify 
as an Eligible Assignee); and 
      (iv)        the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the 
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and 
recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 10.06, and the 
Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an 
Administrative Questionnaire.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and 
Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the 
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and 
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the 
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its 
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering 
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall 
cease to be a party hereto and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the Note, if any, in its 
favor marked "cancelled" and the Administrative Agent thereafter shall deliver the same 
promptly to the Company) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 
3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of 
such assignment.  Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note 
to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under 
this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this 
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in 
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
      (c)        Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of 
the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment 
and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of 
the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations 
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register").  The 
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders may 
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a 
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  
The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and the L/C Issuer at any 
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  In addition, at any time that 
a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, 
any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
      (d)        Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, 
any Borrower or Agent, 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 such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a 
portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C 
Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations 
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to 
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the 
Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such 
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
      Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall 
provide that such 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 such Lender will not, without the consent of the 
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso 
to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each 
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 
3.05 to the same extent as if it were a 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 Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such 
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
      (e)        Limitation upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive 
any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable 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.  A 
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits 
of Section 3.01 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and 
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as 
though it were a Lender.
      (f)        Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest 
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to 
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a 
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender 
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender 
as a party hereto.
      (g)        Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words "execution," "signed," 
"signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to 
include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be 
of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of 
a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any 
applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce 
Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws 
based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
      (h)        Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 
contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding 
vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the 
Administrative Agent (and, if such Lender is an Singapore Lender, the Singapore Administrative 
Agent) and the Company (an "SPC") the option to provide all or any part of any Committed 
Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this 
Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund 
any Committed Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to 
make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make 
such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment 
to the applicable Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b).  Each party hereto hereby agrees 
that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the 
costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this 
Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any 
indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be 
liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any 
amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the 
lender of record hereunder.  The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize 
the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan 
were made by such Granting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby 
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date 
that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or 
other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting 
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation 
proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to 
the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the 
Company or either Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $2,500, 
assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to 
the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating 
to its funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of 
any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
      (i)        Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America 
assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America 
may, (i) upon 30 days' notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) 
upon 30 days' notice to the Company, resign as Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such 
resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from 
among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, 
that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank 
of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America resigns 
as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer 
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its 
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to 
require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in 
Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line 
Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect 
to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, 
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk 
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).  Upon the 
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall 
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring 
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue 
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such 
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the 
obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
      10.07          Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  
      Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality 
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its 
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, 
advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is 
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such 
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to 
have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National 
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or 
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in 
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or 
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the 
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions 
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any 
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or 
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction 
relating to a Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the 
extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this 
Section or (y) becomes available to either Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their 
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company.  
      For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the 
Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective 
businesses, other than any such information that is available to either Agent, any Lender or the 
L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary, 
provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any Subsidiary after the 
date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any 
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be 
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same 
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord 
to its own confidential information.
      Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information 
may include material non-public information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the 
case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-
public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance 
with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.
      10.08          Right of Setoff.  
      If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer 
and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to 
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general 
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other 
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such 
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations 
of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document 
to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer 
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although 
such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or 
office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit 
or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective 
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of 
setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and 
the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any 
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the 
validity of such setoff and application.
      10.09          Interest Rate Limitation.  
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest 
paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-
usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate").  If either Agent or any 
Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the 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 an 
Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person 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.
      10.10          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 Loan 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 Administrative Agent and when the 
Administrative Agent 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.
      10.11          Survival of Representations and Warranties.  
      All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or 
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall 
survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have 
been or will be relied upon by each Agent and Lender, regardless of any investigation made by 
either Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that either Agent or any 
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, 
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder 
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
      10.12          Severability.  
      If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, 
invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions 
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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.
      10.13          Replacement of Lenders.  
      If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required 
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of 
any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other 
circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace a Lender as a party 
hereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the 
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in 
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 
10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan 
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another 
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
      (a)        the Company shall have paid (or caused another Loan Party to pay) to the 
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
      (b)        such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding 
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other 
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts 
under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued 
interest and fees) or the Company or applicable Designated Borrower (in the case of all other 
amounts);
      (c)        in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under 
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will 
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
      (d)        such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
      A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if (i) prior 
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender (if not a Defaulting Lender) or otherwise, the 
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply, 
(ii) in the case of a Primary Lender, circumstances entitling the Company to require such 
assignment and delegation apply to Primary Lenders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate 
Primary Commitments (or Lenders holding more than 50% of Total Primary Outstandings if 
commitments to make Loans have been terminated), or (iii) in the case of a Singapore Lender, 
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation apply to 
Singapore Lenders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Singapore Commitments (or 
Lenders holding more than 50% of Total Singapore Outstandings if commitments to make Loans 
have been terminated).
      10.14          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 THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT 
COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT 
FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR 
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR 
RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE 
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL 
CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND 
DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT 
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH OF THE 
PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR 
PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER 
JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER 
PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN 
DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT EITHER AGENT, ANY LENDER OR 
THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING 
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT 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 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 
SECTION 10.02.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY 
PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY 
APPLICABLE LAW.
      10.15          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.
      10.16          USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  
      Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative 
Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to 
the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 
2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the 
Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other 
information that will allow such Lender or either Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower 
in accordance with the Act.
      10.17          Judgment Currency
      .  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum 
due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of 
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the 
Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business 
Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of each Borrower in 
respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or 
under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the 
"Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the 
applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the 
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum 
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance 
with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  
If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the 
Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as 
a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative 
Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the 
Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative 
Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to 
such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly 
executed as of the date first above written.

 All Securities of any
one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate referred to
above, and the authorized principal amount of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate.

  
 2.3 Execution and Authentication. 
  
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by two Officers of
the Company or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Each such signature may be either manual or facsimile. The Company’s seal may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or reproduced on the Securities and may be in facsimile form.

  
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds
that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the
Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in
writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. 
  
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum
principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8. 
  

 - 9 - 

 Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to
Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the
terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4. 
  
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any
Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised in writing by outside counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall reasonably determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability, or cause it to have a conflict of interest with respect to Holders of any then outstanding
Series of Securities. 
  
 The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Any appointment shall be evidenced by instrument signed by an authorized
officer of the Trustee, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. 
  
 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent.

  
 The Company shall maintain an office or agency where
Securities of any Series may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York where Securities may be presented for
payment (“Paying Agent”), and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register
of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
address of the Trustee as set forth in Section 10.2. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to any Securityholder.

  
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
  

 - 10 - 

 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this
Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or
agent for service of notices and demands, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another
Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Company.

  
 2.5 Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. 
  
 The Trustee as Paying Agent shall, and the Company shall require each Paying
Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of any Series of Securities or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest or
premium (if any) on, such Series of Securities (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on such Series of Securities), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
Default by the Company (or any other obligor on such Series of Securities) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the
Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default with respect to any Series of Securities, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for
any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets. 
  
 2.6 Securityholder Lists. 
  
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable
the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee as of each regular record date for the payment of interest
on the Securities of a Series and before each related Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
Securityholders of each Series of Securities. 
  
 2.7 Transfer and Exchange.

  
 When Securities of a Series are presented to the
Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested, and when such Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of
other authorized denominations of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall 
  

 - 11 - 

 make the exchange as requested. To permit transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.7, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for
definitive Securities, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 If (i) the Depositary is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date the Company is so informed
in writing or becomes aware of the same, or (ii) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company promptly will execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
Request for the authentication and delivery of such definitive Securities (which the Company will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee), will authenticate and deliver definitive Securities, without charge, in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Global Securities, in exchange for and upon surrender of all such Global Securities. 
  
 In any exchange provided for in the preceding paragraph, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in
the authorized denominations provided by Section 2.3. 
  
 Upon the exchange of a Global Security for definitive Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Definitive Securities issued in exchange for Global Securities pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration or transfer or exchange. 
  
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or
the Registrar or a co-Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or a co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. 
  
 Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge,
except that the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to
Section 2.11, 3.6 or 8.5 hereof. The Trustee shall not be required to register transfers of Securities of any Series or to exchange Securities of any Series for a period of 15 days before selection for redemption of such Securities. The Trustee
shall not be required to exchange or register transfers of Securities of any Series called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of such Security being redeemed in part. 
  

 - 12 - 

 2.8 Replacement Securities. 
  
 If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security presents evidence to the satisfaction
of the Company and the Trustee that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding. An indemnity bond may be required by the Company or the Trustee that is sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any
Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security, including the fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Security
shall constitute an additional obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionally with
any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
  
 2.9
Outstanding Securities. 
  
 Securities outstanding at any
time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding. 
  
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8 (other than a
mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until the Company and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be
outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.8. 
  
 If a Paying Agent holds on a Redemption Date or Maturity Date of a Series of Securities money sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued interest on Securities payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue. 
  
 Subject to Section 2.10, a Security
does not cease to be outstanding solely because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security. 
  
 2.10 Treasury Securities. 
  
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or an
Affiliate shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that the
Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

 - 13 - 

 2.11 Temporary Securities. 
  
 Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities presented to it. 
  
 2.12 Cancellation. 
  
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. At the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and at the written request of the Company, shall dispose of all Securities
surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until
the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.12. 
  
 2.13 Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest; Computation of Interest. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.2 with respect to any Series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and
is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, as provided in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such Series. 
  
 With respect to any Holder with an aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series in an amount in excess of $2,000,000, upon receipt by the
Trustee of a written request from such Holder, payments of interest with respect to such Securities shall be made to such Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each other Holder shall receive payments of interest by check or by
transfer to an account maintained by such Holder in the United States. 
  
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted amounts, plus any interest payable on defaulted amounts pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, to the persons who are Securityholders on a
subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before
the special record date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Securityholder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the payment date, and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on
such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. 
  

 - 14 - 

 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series, interest
on the Securities of each Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 2.14 CUSIP Number. 
  
 The
Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number(s) in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders, provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number(s) printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. 
  
 2.15 Provisions for Global Securities. 
  
 (a) A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or
an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Securities or Securities. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained
in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or
its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act,
and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so
exchangeable or (iii) a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have occurred and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 
  
 Except as provided in this Section 2.15(b), a Global Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary. 
  
 (c) Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
  
 “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a
nominee of the 
  

 - 15 - 

 Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or
its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.” 
  
 (d) The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the
principal of and interest and premium, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Depositary or its nominee in its capacity as the Holder thereof. 
  
 (f) Except as provided in Section 2.15(e), the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such
principal amount of outstanding Securities of any Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary (which may be in the form of a participants’ list for such Series) with respect to such
Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
  
 2.16 Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Registrar
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.13) any interest on such Security and for
all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 
  
 3.1 Notices of Trustee. 
  
 The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right
to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities or the related Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company elects to redeem such Securities of a Series, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed at least 35 days (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being
mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
  

 - 16 - 

 3.2 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
  
 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series of Securities by a Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if fewer than all of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of a Series to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or by any other method
that the Trustee considers fair and appropriate and, if such Securities are listed on any securities exchange, by a method that complies with the requirements of such exchange. 
  
 The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of a Series outstanding and not previously called for redemption and
shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities of a Series in denominations of $1,000
may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of a Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of a Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000
or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2(10), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities
called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. 
  
 3.3 Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Unless otherwise
indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of
redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar. 
  
 The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number(s) thereof, if any) and shall state:

  
 (1) the Redemption Date; 
  
 (2) the redemption price; 
  
 (3) if any Security of a Series is being redeemed in part,
the portion of the principal amount of such Security of a Series to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Security of a Series, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
will be issued; 
  
 (4) the name and address of
the Paying Agent; 
  

 - 17 - 

 (5) that Securities of a Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the redemption price, and the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for such payment; 
  
 (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on the Securities of a Series called for redemption
ceases to accrue on or after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed; and

Series to be outstanding after such partial redemption. 
  
 At the
Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense. 
  
 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.3 is mailed, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the
Redemption Date and at the redemption price, plus interest, if any, accrued to (but not including) the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Securities of a Series shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued
interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date, provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular interest payment record date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the
Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant record date, as specified by the Company in the notice to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof. 
  
 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
  
 On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest,
if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest on Securities called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the preceding paragraph and the Company and the Paying Agent are not prohibited from paying such moneys to Holders, the Securities
called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Securities will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the proviso in Section 3.4, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Securities to the Redemption Date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Security and any interest or premium
(if any) not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate and in the manner provided in the Securities.

agreements, instruments, mortgages, bonds, debentures or other evidences of Indebtedness under which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company then has outstanding Indebtedness in excess of $[10] million, individually or in the
aggregate, and either (a) such Indebtedness is already due and payable in full or (b) such default or defaults have resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness;

 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term
“Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 The Trustee may withhold notice of any Default (except in payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities) to the Holders of the
Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 7.5. 
  
 6.2
Acceleration. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of any Series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(6) or (7)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding may by written notice to the Company and the Trustee declare that the entire principal amount of all the Securities of that Series then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest

installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid and (iii) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. No such rescission shall affect
any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) with respect to the Company occurs, such principal, premium, if any, and interest amount with respect to all of
the Securities of that Series shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of that Series.

remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of that Series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of that Series or this Indenture.

  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities of that Series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

then outstanding have the right to waive any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series or compliance with any provision of this Indenture (with respect to such Series) or the Securities of such Series. Upon any such waiver,
such Default with respect to such Series shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to such Series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  
 6.5 Control by Majority. 
  
 The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by
this Indenture with respect to such Series. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder or that
may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
  
 6.6 Limitation on Suits. 
  
 Subject to Section 6.7 below, a Securityholder may not institute any proceeding or pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities

the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series; 
  
 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding make a written request to
the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (3) such
Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer
of indemnity; and 
  
 (5) no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding.

 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to
obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. 
  
 6.7 Rights of
Holders To Receive Payment. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of a Series to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest of the Security of such Series on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security of such
Series, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
  
 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
  
 If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest
specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) hereof with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
(or any other obligor on the Securities of that Series) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest
on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate then borne by the Securities of that Series, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  
 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 The
Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), any of their respective creditors or any of their respective property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid
out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.7 hereof. 
  
 Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of a Series or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceedings.

Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,

Section 313(d). 
  
 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 
  
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements,
expenses and advances incurred or made by it in connection with its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
  
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against,
any and all loss or liability incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. However, the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company
shall not relieve the Company of its obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through its negligence or bad faith.

  
 To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this
Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest and premium (if any) on
particular Securities of that Series. 
  

 - 30 - 

 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 7.7, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to
Article 9. 
  
 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. 
  
 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series
by so notifying the Company in writing at least 90 days in advance of such resignation. 
  
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by notifying the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor
Trustee with respect to that Series with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series at its election if: 
  
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with, or ceases to be
eligible under, Section 7.10 hereof; 
  
 (2)
the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
  
 (3) a Custodian or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
  
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee with respect to any Series of Securities for any reason, the Company shall promptly notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
  
 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee. 
  
 If the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more Series fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, any Securityholder of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

  
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately following such delivery (i) the retiring Trustee with respect to one or more Series shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.7 hereof, transfer all property held by it
as Trustee with respect to such Series to the successor Trustee, (ii) the 
  

 - 31 - 

 resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee with respect
to such Series shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder of such Series.

  
 7.9 Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger or Conversion.

  
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10 hereof, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
  
 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 
  
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of
TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA
Section 310(b), including the provision in Section 310(b)(1). If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Article 7. 
  
 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. 
  
 The Trustee shall comply with TIA
Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
  
 7.12 Paying Agents. 
  
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument
in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12: 
  
 (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities
(whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Securities or the Trustee; 
  
 (2) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the
Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and 
  
 (3) that it will give the Trustee written notice within three (3) Business Days of any failure of the Company (or by any obligor on
the Securities) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities when the same shall be due and payable.

 ARTICLE 8 
 AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
  
 8.1 Without Consent of Holders. 
  
 The Company,
when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without notice to or consent of any Securityholder: 
  
 (1) to comply with Section 5.1 hereof; 
  
 (2) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to certificated Securities; 
  
 (3) to comply with any requirements of the SEC under the
TIA; 
  
 (4) to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder; 
  
 (5) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by this
Indenture; or 
  
 (6) to evidence and provide for
the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration
of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. 
  
 The Trustee
is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but
the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. 
  
 8.2 With Consent of Holders. 
  
 (a) The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or
more Series with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series affected by such amendment or supplement without notice to any Securityholder. The Holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each such Series affected by such amendment or supplement may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or
the Securities of such Series without notice to any Securityholder. Subject to Section 8.4, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.4, may
not: 
  
 (1) reduce the amount of Securities
whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture or the Securities; 
  

 - 33 - 

 (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security;

  
 (3) reduce the principal or change the Stated
Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
  
 (4) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security; 
  
 (5) change the amount or time of any payment required by the
Securities or reduce the premium payable upon any redemption of the Securities, or change the time before which no such redemption may be made; 
  
 (6) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Security (except a
rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

 
 (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any
Security or change any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any Securities; 
  
 (8) make any changes in Sections 6.4 or 6.7 hereof or this Section 8.2, except to increase any percentage of Securities the Holders
of which must consent to any matter; or; or 
  
 (9) take any other action otherwise prohibited by this Indenture to be taken without the consent of each holder affected thereby. 
  
 (b) Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Securityholders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with
the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 
  
 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

  

 - 34 - 

 8.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

  
 8.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
  
 Until an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a
consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Security or portion thereof, and of any Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor
or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Security. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security, if the Trustee receives the notice of
revocation before the date the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective. 
  
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement, or waiver which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their
duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such
consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date without the applicable amendment, supplement or waiver becoming effective. 
  
 After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of
clauses (1) through (9) of Section 8.2 hereof. In that case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest and premium (if any) on a
Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 8.5 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 
  
 If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Security of
any Series, the Trustee may request the Holder of such Security to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on such Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the
Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for such Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not
affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  

 - 35 - 

 8.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. 
  
 The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 8 if the amendment,
supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.1 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE;
DEFEASANCE 
  
 9.1 Discharge of Indenture. 
  
 The Company may terminate its obligations under the Securities of any Series
and this Indenture with respect to such Series, except the obligations referred to in the last paragraph of this Section 9.1, if there shall have been canceled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of such
Series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than any Securities of such Series that are asserted to have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced as provided in Section 2.8 hereof) and the Company has paid all
sums payable by it hereunder or deposited all required sums with the Trustee. 
  
 After such delivery the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such Series and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations
specified below. 
  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company in Sections 7.7, 9.5 and 9.6 hereof shall survive. 
  
 9.2 Legal Defeasance. 
  
 The Company may at its option, by Board Resolution, be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Securities of any Series on the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Securities of such Series and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, subject to Section 9.6 hereof, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such Series to receive solely from the trust funds described in Section 9.4 hereof and as more fully
set forth in such section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such Series when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Securities of such Series
under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 hereof, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including claims of, 
  

 - 36 - 

 or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof) and (D) this Article 9. Subject to
compliance with this Article 9, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.2 with respect to the Securities of any Series notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.3 below with respect to the Securities
of such Series. 
  
 9.3 Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 At the option of the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Company
shall be released from its obligations under Sections 4.2 through 4.7 hereof, inclusive, and Section 5.1 hereof, with respect to the outstanding Securities of any Series, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 hereof
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
any such specified section or portion thereof, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such specified Section or portion thereof or by reason of any reference in any such specified section or portion thereof
to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of any Series shall be unaffected thereby.

following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations which through the
scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series at the Stated Maturity of such principal, premium, if any, or interest, or on dates for payment and redemption of such principal, premium, if any, and
interest selected in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of the Securities of such Series; 
  
 (2) no Event of Default or Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit, or shall have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest preference period under any Bankruptcy Law
applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period); 
  

 - 37 - 

 (3) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest for purposes of the TIA with respect to any securities of the Company;

opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series or persons in their positions will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes solely as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, including as a result of prepayment, and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
  
 (7) in the case of an election under Section 9.3
hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
  
 (8) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an

 9.5 Deposited Money and U.S. and Foreign Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

  
 All money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign
Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and
accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations and
Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of
the outstanding Securities. 
  
 Anything in this Article 9 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.4 hereof which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 9.6 Reinstatement. 

 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money, U.S.
Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 9 until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 hereof; provided, however, that if the
Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  
 9.7 Moneys Held by Paying Agent. 
  
 In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture
shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, to the Company, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such moneys. 
  

 - 39 - 

 9.8 Moneys Held by Trustee. 
  
 Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company in trust for the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Security that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Security for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Security shall
have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company upon Company Request, or if such moneys are then held by the Company in trust, such moneys shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Security entitled to receive
such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company, either mail to each Securityholder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Securities
maintained by the Registrar or cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New York, a
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
After payment to the Company or the release of any money held in trust by the Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another
person.

 10.14 Separabilty. 
  
 Each provision of this Indenture shall be considered separable and if for
any reason any provision which is not essential to the effectuation of the basic purpose of this Indenture or the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 10.15 Securities in a Foreign
Currency or in ECU. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified in a Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken
by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are
denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including ECU), then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be
obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this Section 10.16, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of that currency as
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto) as published
in the Official Journal of the European Union (such publication or any successor publication, the “Journal”). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its
sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case
of ECUs, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in Luxembourg or such other quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange as the
Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars in
connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
  

 - 44 - 

 All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative
determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all
Holders. 
  
 10.16 Judgment Currency. 
  
 The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or premium (if any) or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the
“Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee
could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at
which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and
(b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in
any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
(ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so
expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.
