Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing,
(ii) Type of Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such
Revolving Credit Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of
Eurocurrency Rate Advances, initial Interest Period and currency for each such Revolving Credit
Advance. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such Revolving
Credit Borrowing, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Advances denominated in

Committed Currency, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at
the applicable Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving
Credit Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the applicable
Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 9.02 or at the applicable Payment Office,
as the case may be.

(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrowers may
not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of
such Revolving Credit Borrowing is less than $25,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to
make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.11 and (ii)
the Eurocurrency Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than 12 separate Revolving
Credit Borrowings.

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

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

shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of
any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but

Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the
Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing
when such Competitive Bid Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(b) Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 (or the
Equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of
Competitive Bid Borrowing) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any
Foreign Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing)
in excess thereof and, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Competitive Bid
Borrowing shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence
of subsection (a) above.

(c) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03, any Borrower may
from time to time borrow under this Section 2.03, repay or prepay pursuant to subsection (d) below,
and reborrow under this Section 2.03, provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing by such
Borrower shall not be made within three Business Days of the date of any other Competitive Bid

subsection (a)(i) above and provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid
Advance), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance. Such Borrower shall
have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance unless, and then only
on the terms, specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of
Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and set forth in the
Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance.

(e) Any Borrower making a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Competitive Bid Advance from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date
the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for
such Competitive Bid Advance specified by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its
notice with respect thereto delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above, payable on the interest
payment date or dates specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related
Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above, as provided in
the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), such Borrower shall pay interest on
the amount of unpaid principal of and interest on each Competitive Bid Advance owing to a Lender,
payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable thereon, at a rate per annum equal at
all times to 1.0% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Competitive Bid
Advance under the terms of the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance unless
otherwise agreed in such Competitive Bid Note.

(f) The indebtedness of any Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made to such
Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid
Note of such Borrower payable to the order of the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance.

such Lender’s Commitment from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the

to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date at a rate
per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31,
2005, and on the Termination Date.

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

SECTION 2.05. Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrowers
shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, which notice shall be
irrevocable, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the
respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and
provided further that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall
not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid
Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus the Equivalent in Dollars (determined as of
the date of the notice of prepayment) of the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid
Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding.

SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower shall repay to
the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal
amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding and owing by such Borrower.

SECTION 2.07. Interest on Revolving Credit Advances. (a) Scheduled
Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving
Credit Advance owing by such Borrower to each Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance
until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance
is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate
in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to
time plus (z) the Applicable Utilization Fee, if any, in effect from time to time,
payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December
during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in
full.

(ii) Eurocurrency Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit
Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each
Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate

Margin in effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable Utilization Fee, if any,
in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and,
if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs
during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period
and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default under Section 6.01(a), each Borrower shall pay interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount
of each Revolving Credit Advance owing by such Borrower to each Lender, payable in arrears on the
dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1%
per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to
clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any
interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such
amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such
amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum
above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank agrees to
furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate and
each LIBO Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely
information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall
determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining
Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of
the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) and the
rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate
under Section 2.07(a)(ii).

(b) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent
that (i) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about
11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient
amounts to fund their respective Revolving Credit Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its
Interest Period, then the Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be made as Base
Rate Advances and the obligation of the Lenders to make, or Convert Revolving Credit Advances into,
Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, or (ii) the
Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to
such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances
for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the applicable Borrower and the
Lenders, whereupon (A) the applicable Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest
Period therefor, (1) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, either (x)
prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such
Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, either (x) prepay such
Advances or (y) exchange such Advances for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert such
Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert
Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall
notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist; provided that, if the circumstances set forth in clause (ii) above are
applicable, the applicable Borrower may elect, by notice to the Agent and the Lenders, to continue
such Advances in such Committed Currency for Interest Periods of not longer than one month, which
Advances shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus,
for each Lender, the cost to such Lender (expressed as a rate per annum) of funding its
Eurocurrency Rate Advances by whatever means it reasonably determines to be appropriate. Each
Lender shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Agent and the Borrowers as
soon as practicable (but in any event not later than ten Business Days after the first day of such
Interest Period).

(c) If the Borrowers shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of
“Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders
and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate
Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be
exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances.

(d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances
comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than
$25,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section
6.01(a), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in
Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are
denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be
Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert
Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended; provided that Borrower may
elect, by notice to the Agent and the Lenders within one Business Day of such Event of Default, to
continue such Advances in such Committed Currency, whereupon the Agent may require that each such
Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall bear interest at the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for a period of
three Business Days and thereafter, each such Interest Period shall have a duration of not longer
than one month. “Overnight Eurocurrency Rate” means the rate per annum applicable to an
overnight period beginning on one Business Day and ending on the next Business Day equal to the sum
of 1%, the Applicable Margin and the average, rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16
of 1%, if such average is not such a multiple, of the respective rates per annum quoted by each
Reference Bank to the Agent on request as the rate at which it is offering overnight deposits in
the relevant currency in amounts comparable to such Reference Bank’s Eurocurrency Rate Advances.

(f) If Moneyline Telerate Markets Page 3750 or any successor page is unavailable and fewer
than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurocurrency
Rate or LIBO Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be,

(i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the interest
rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the
case may be,

(ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically,
on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate
Advance is denominated in Dollars, be prepaid by the Borrowers or be automatically Converted
into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any
Committed Currency, be prepaid by the Borrowers or be automatically exchanged for an
Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance
is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

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

SECTION 2.09. Prepayments of Revolving Credit Advances. (a) Optional. Each
Borrower may, upon notice at least two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the
case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date
of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and
aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall,
prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the
same Revolving Credit Borrowing made to such Borrower in whole or ratably in part, together with
accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided,
however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not
less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or a Revolving Credit Borrowing Multiple in excess
thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, such Borrower
shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) If the Agent notifies the Borrowers that, on any
interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in
Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day
prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated
in Foreign Currencies then outstanding exceeds 103% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on
such date, the Company shall, and shall cause the other Borrowers to, within two Business Days
after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by the
Borrowers in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of
the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date.

(ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) shall be made together with any
interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case
of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a LIBO Rate Advance or a Local Rate Advance on a
date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which
the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant
to Section 9.04(c). The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this
Section 2.09(b) to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders.

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority, including, without
limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority
(whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of
agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances
(excluding for purposes of this Section 2.10 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or
Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.13 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of
overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or
state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any
political subdivision thereof), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such
Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. In determining
such additional amounts such Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and use averaging and
attribution methods which are reasonable. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost,
submitted to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of
law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased
by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments
of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the
Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by
such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the
light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in
capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other
governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending
Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any
Committed Currency or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or any Foreign Currency or to fund or maintain
Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or
any Foreign Currency hereunder, (a) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance, as the
case may be, will automatically, upon such notice, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO
Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that
bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be, and (ii) if such
Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in any Foreign Currency, be exchanged
for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that
bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be, and (b) the
obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert
Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist.

SECTION 2.12. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment
hereunder, except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to,
Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set off,
not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the
applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder with
respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a
Foreign Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set off, not later than 11:00 A.M.
(at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency) on the day when due in such Foreign Currency to
the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent
will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or
interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.10, 2.13
or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like
funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the
account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of an
extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.17 or a Commitment Increase pursuant to
Section 2.18, and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of
the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Extension Date or
Increase Date, as the case may be, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes
issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender.
Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained
therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in
such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in
respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such
Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior
to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) Each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such
Lender by such Borrower is not made when due hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, to charge from time to time against any
or all of such Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due. Each Lender agrees promptly
to notify the applicable Borrower after any such charge, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such charge.

(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the
Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of
a year of 360 days and computations in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the
Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive
Bid Borrowing (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies where market practice
differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including
the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees
are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would
cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be
made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding
Business Day.

(e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date
on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment
in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such
date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the
applicable Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall
repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the
date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of
Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such
amount in the case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies.

(f) To the extent that the Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any
Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or
currencies required to enable the Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the
terms of this Section 2.12, the Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into
Dollars or into a Foreign Currency or from Dollars to a Foreign Currency or from a Foreign Currency
to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Agent to distribute such
funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.12; provided that each Borrower and
each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss,
cost or expense suffered by such Borrower or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange
of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) or as a result of the failure of the Agent
to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrowers
agree to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless, for any
and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender for any conversion or
exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with
this Section 2.12(f) except to the extent such loss, cost or expense is found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 2.13. Taxes. (a) Except as provided in Section 2.13(f), any and all
payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section
2.12, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by
its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or
any political subdivision thereof and, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or
measured by its overall net income, any branch profits tax or similar tax imposed on it and
franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder
or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.13) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or
any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made
hereunder or under the Notes issued by it or from the execution, delivery or registration of,
performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes issued by it
(hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Except as provided in Section 2.13(f), the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender and the
Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
2.13) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case
may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the
Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf
of the Borrowers through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the
Borrowers by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrowers determine that no Taxes
are payable in respect thereof, the Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish,
to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such
payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms
"United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in
Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or
prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial
Lender and on the date of the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as
requested in writing by the Domestic Borrowers (as defined below) (but only so long as such Lender
remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Domestic Borrowers with
two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or
other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service (including, without limitation, Internal
Revenue Service form W-9), certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate
of United States withholding tax on payments to it by such Domestic Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or the Notes. In addition to the foregoing, each such Lender also agrees to deliver to
each of the Agent and the Domestic Borrowers two further copies of such Internal Revenue Service
forms, or successor applicable forms on or before the date that any previously delivered form
expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form previously delivered by it to the Agent and the Domestic Borrowers, and such extensions
or renewals thereof, as may reasonably be requested by the Agent or the Domestic Borrowers, unless
in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation)
has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders
all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering
any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Agent and the Domestic Borrowers.
If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement
indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such
rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate
forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only
shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided,
however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender
assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under
subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such
date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may
be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding
tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document
referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information
necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal
Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service form W-9), that the Lender
reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and
shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. For
purposes of this Section 2.13, a Domestic Borrower is any Borrower, payment of interest by which,
is United States source income under Section 861 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Domestic Borrowers
with the appropriate form described in Section 2.13(e) (other than if such failure
is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required
to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender
shall not be entitled to any payment or indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or (c) with respect
to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however,
that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required
hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the
Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 agrees to
use reasonable efforts to make changes (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions), including a change in the jurisdiction of its Eurocurrency Lending
Office, if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such
additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) In the event that an additional payment is made under this Section 2.13(a) or (c) for the
account of any Lender and such Lender, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it has finally
and irrevocably received or been granted a credit against or release or remission for, or repayment
of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or
withholding giving rise to such payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that
it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or
repayment, pay to the Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, such amount as such Lender shall,
in its reasonable judgment, have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding and
which will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been in
if the Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, had not been required to make such deduction or
withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its
tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender to claim any tax credit or to
disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or
require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other
credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

SECTION 2.14. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on
account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.13 or
9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances
obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall
repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an
amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of
any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total
amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from
another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise
all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such
participation.

SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Revolving Credit Advance owing to such Lender from time to time,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder in respect of Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any
Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Revolving
Credit Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes
of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, or to be made by, such
Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note
payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.

(b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control
account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be
recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising
such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each
Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower
to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from each Borrower
hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above,
and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from each such Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in
the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error;
provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry,
or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not
limit or otherwise affect the obligations of each such Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and
each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for general corporate purposes of such
Borrower, including, without limitation, commercial paper backstop and acquisition financing, of
such Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.17. Extension of Termination Date. (a) At least 45 days but not more than
60 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company, by written notice to the
Agent, may request an extension of the Termination Date in effect at such time by one calendar year
from its then scheduled expiration. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request,
and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not more than 30 days prior to such
anniversary date (but in any event at least 20 days prior to such anniversary date), notify the
Company and the Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. If any
Lender shall fail to notify the Agent and the Company in writing of its consent to any such request
for extension of the Termination Date at least 20 days prior to the applicable anniversary date,
such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined in (b) below) with respect to
such request. The Agent shall notify the Company not later than 10 days prior to the applicable
anniversary date of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Company’s request for an extension of
the Termination Date.

(b) If all the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection
(a) of this Section 2.17, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the
Termination Date (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one year; provided that on
each Extension Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied. If
less than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection
(a) of this Section 2.17, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the
applicable Extension Date, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a
"Consenting Lender”) provided that more than 50% of the Commitments is extended or
otherwise committed to by Consenting Lenders and any Assuming Lenders, but shall not be extended as
to any other Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”). To the extent that the Termination
Date is not extended as to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the Commitment of such
Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.17 on or prior to the
applicable Extension Date, the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically
terminate in whole on such unextended Termination Date without any further notice or other action
by the Borrowers, such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting
Lender’s rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 8.05, shall
survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is
understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request
made by the Borrowers for any requested extension of the Termination Date.

(c) If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to subsection (a) of
this Section 2.17, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Consenting Lenders, and each Consenting
Lender may, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent not later than 10 days prior
to the Termination Date of the amount of the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments for which it is
willing to accept an assignment. If the Consenting Lenders notify the Agent that they are willing
to accept assignments of Commitments in an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the
Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lenders, such Commitments shall be allocated among the Consenting
Lenders willing to accept such assignments in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrowers and
the Agent. If after giving effect to the assignments of Commitments described above there remains
any Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders, the Borrowers may arrange for one or more Consenting
Lenders or other Eligible Assignees, to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any
Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender under
this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such
Non-Consenting Lender (each such Consenting Lender or Eligible Assignee, and each Eligible
Assignee that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Commitment Increase in accordance with Section
2.18 being an “Assuming Lender”); provided, however, that the amount of the
Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less
than $25,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender is less than
$25,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and
provided further that:

(i) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company and the Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”) shall
have been duly executed and delivered to the Company and the Agent at least three Business
Days prior to any Extension Date by such Assuming Lender, the applicable Non-Consenting
Lender, the Agent and the Borrowers;

(ii) any such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such
Non-Consenting Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and
unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Advances, if any, of such
Non-Consenting Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid facility fees or utilization
fees owing to such Non-Consenting Lender as of the effective date of such assignment;

(iii) all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities
payable to such Non-Consenting Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to
such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have
been paid to such Non-Consenting Lender; and

(iv) with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and
recordation fee required under Section 9.07(a) for such assignment shall have been paid;

provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13
and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 8.05, shall survive such substitution as to matters
occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least three Business Days prior to any Extension
Date, (A) any such Consenting Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to
the Borrowers and the Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment and (B) each
Non-Consenting Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall have delivered to the
Agent any Note or Notes held by such Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the payment or prepayment of all
amounts referred to in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the second proviso to the third sentence in
this subsection (c), each such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the Extension Date, will
be substituted for such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all
purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other
Lenders, and the obligations of each such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions
hereof, be released and discharged.

(d) If Lenders (after giving effect to any assignments pursuant to subsection (c) of this
Section 2.17) having Commitments equal to at least 50% of the Commitments in effect immediately
prior to the Extension Date consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by execution or
delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise), not later than one Business Day prior to such
Extension Date, the Agent shall so notify the Borrowers, and, so long as the applicable conditions
set forth in Article III shall be satisfied, the Termination Date then in effect shall be extended
for the additional one year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.17, and all
references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the “Termination Date” shall,
with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to
the Termination Date as so extended. Promptly following each Extension Date, the Agent shall
notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the
scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the
Register the relevant information with respect to each such Consenting Lender and each such
Assuming Lender.

SECTION 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Company may, at any
time but in any event not more than once in any calendar year prior to the Termination Date, by
notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitment be increased by an amount
of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be
effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in
effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent;
provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the
Commitments at any time exceed $750,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Company for
a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in
Article III shall be satisfied.

(b) The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Company for a Commitment
Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase,
(ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the
Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the
"Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested
Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give
written notice to the Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing
to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Agent that they are willing to increase the
amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the
requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the
Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Company and the
Agent.

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Company as to the
amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment
Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested
Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase,
then the Company may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion
of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the
applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such
Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a
requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(b) as an Assuming Lender shall become
a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing
Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the
amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such
Increase Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall have received on or before
such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) evidence of corporate authority to effect the Commitment Increase and (B) an
opinion of counsel for the Company (which may be in-house counsel), in substantially the
form of Exhibit E hereto;

(ii) an Assumption Agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, duly executed by such
Assuming Lender, the Agent and the Company; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its
Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Company and the Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without
limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Company, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by
telecopier, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and
shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and
each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before
2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, in the case of
such Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving
Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the
aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and, in
the case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Increasing Lender’s
ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its
Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the
relevant Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving
Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment (without giving effect to
the relevant Commitment Increase) as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments (without giving
effect to the relevant Commitment Increase). After the Agent’s receipt of such funds from each
such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to
be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable
Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Advances owing to each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such
Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on
its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the
relevant Commitment Increase).

(a) Compliance with Laws, Etc. Comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to
comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders (such compliance to include,

each of its Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, its corporate existence, rights (charter

expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this
Agreement or the Notes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s liability
shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by
any other Borrower to any Lender under or in respect of this Agreement and the Notes but for the
fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,

SECTION 7.02. Guaranty Absolute. The Company guarantees that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes,
regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting
any of such terms or the rights of any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of the Company
under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
obligations of any other Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement and the Notes, and a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company to enforce this
Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any
other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Company under this
Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Company hereby
irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or
all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Borrower under or
in respect of this Agreement or any Note, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent
to departure from this Agreement or any Note, including, without limitation, any increase in
the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any other
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking,
release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of
any other Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any failure of any Lender to disclose to any Borrower any information relating to
the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or
prospects of any other Borrower now or hereafter known to such Lender (the Company waiving
any duty on the part of the Lenders to disclose such information);

(f) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty or any other
guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Company or other
guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;

(g) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Borrower under this
Agreement or the Notes or any other assets of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations)
or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any other guarantor or
surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any
Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Borrower,
all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 7.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that
any Lender exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or any other Person.

(b) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Lender that in any manner
impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Company or other rights of the Company
to proceed against any of the other Borrowers, any other guarantor or any other Person and (ii) any
defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of
the Company hereunder.

(d) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any
Lender to disclose to the Company any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Lender.

(e) The Company acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in
Section 7.02 and this Section 7.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 7.04. Subrogation. The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations
under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note, including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender against any other Borrower, whether or not such
claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including,
without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Borrower, directly or indirectly,
in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of
such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall
have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Company in violation of the
immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of
the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (b) the
Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders,
shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Company and shall forthwith be paid or
delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or
assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the Notes. If (i) the Company shall make payment to any Lender of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under
this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and (iii) the Termination Date shall have
occurred, the Lenders will, at the Company’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the
Company appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary
to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Company of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from such payment made by the Company pursuant to this Guaranty.

SECTION 7.05. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full
in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (ii)
the Termination Date, (b) be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lenders and their successors, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and
the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon
become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise,
in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 9.07. The Company shall not have the right
to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
Lenders.

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes
the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion
under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers
and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for
by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the
Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to
act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting)
upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all
Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be
required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to
this Agreement or applicable law. The Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each
notice given to it by any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or
them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (i) may
treat the Lender that made any Advance as the holder of the Debt resulting therefrom until the
Agent receives and accepts an Assumption Agreement entered into by an Assuming Lender as provided
in Section 2.17, or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an
Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by
it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or
representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements,
warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this
Agreement; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the
Borrowers or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrowers; (v) shall
not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting
upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier,
telegram or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 8.03. Citibank and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances
made by it and the Note issued to it, Citibank shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the
term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citibank in its
individual capacity. Citibank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as
trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any
kind of business with, any of the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries and any Person who may
do business with or own securities of any of the Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries, all as
if Citibank were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Agent
shall have no duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates
relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or
received in any capacity other than as Agent.

SECTION 8.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial
statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of
the Revolving Credit Advances then owed to each of them (or if no Revolving Credit Advances are at
the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the
"Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of
the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or
legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation,
litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether
any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third
party.

SECTION 8.06. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without
cause by the Required Lenders provided that, so long as no Default shall have occurred and
be continuing the Company shall consent to any appointment of a successor Agent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the
retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent,
which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and
duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.07. Sub-Agent. The Sub-Agent has been designated under this Agreement to
carry out duties of the Agent. The Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this
Agreement to be performed by the Sub-Agent, and each of the Borrowers and the Lenders agrees that
the Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of the
benefits of the Agent under this Agreement as relate to the performance of its obligations
hereunder.

SECTION 8.08. Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that none of the
Syndication Agents nor any other Lender designated as any “Agent” on the signature pages hereof has
any liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender.

ARTICLE IX

posting such notices on Intralinks, “e-Disclosure”, the Agent’s internet delivery system that is

implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other
documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence,
syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings), transportation, computer,
duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights
and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrowers further jointly and severally agree to
pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other
documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this
Section 9.04(a).

(b) The Borrowers, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each
Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors
(each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel)
that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising
out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any
investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i)
the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed
use of the proceeds of the Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials
on any property of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Environmental
Action relating in any way to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, but excluding
any such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any Indemnified Party (i) to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) arising from disputes among two or more Lenders (but not
including any such dispute to the extent that any such Lender is acting in any different capacity
(e.g., Agent or Syndication Agent) or to the extent that it involves the Agent’s and such
Syndication Agent’s syndication activities) or (iii) arising from a successful breach of contract
claim by the Borrower against such Indemnified Party. In the case of an investigation, litigation
or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be
effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower,
its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated. The Borrowers also agree not to assert any claim against the Agent, any
Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions
contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances.

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance, LIBO Rate
Advance or Local Rate Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than
on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion
pursuant to Section 2.08(d) or (e), 2.09 or 2.11, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes
pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than
on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07 as a result of a demand by such Borrower
pursuant to Section 9.07(a), such Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such
demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to
compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as
a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of
anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. If the amount of
the Committed Currency purchased by any Lender in the case of a Conversion or exchange of Advances
in the case of Section 2.08 or 2.11 exceeds the sum required to satisfy such Lender’s liability in
respect of such Advances, such Lender agrees to remit to the Company such excess.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the parties hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the parties contained in Sections 2.10, 2.13, 9.04 and 9.09 shall
survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and
under the Notes.

SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified
by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower after any such set-off and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such
Lender and its Affiliates may have.

SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than
Sections 2.01 and 2.03, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the
Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender
has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the
Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers shall
not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of all of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may and, if demanded
by the Company (following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.13 or upon such
Lender identifying itself as a Protesting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08) shall, upon at least 5
Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, assign to one or more Persons all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion
of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and the Revolving Credit Note or Notes
held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a
constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement (other
than any right to make Competitive Bid Advances, Competitive Bid Advances owing to it and
Competitive Bid Notes), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately
prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant
to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to
such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof unless the Company and the Agent otherwise agree, (iii) each such assignment
shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the
Company pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) shall be arranged by the Company after consultation with
the Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning
Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made
concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the
rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be
obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Company pursuant to this
Section 9.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either
the Borrowers or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued
interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to
such Lender under this Agreement, and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with any Revolving Credit Note subject to such assignment and a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other
than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an
event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder
and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes

legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
the Borrowers or the performance or observance by the Borrowers of any of their respective
obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment

assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such
assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii)

that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Revolving Credit Note or
Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been
completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt
notice thereof to the Borrowers.

(d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each
Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the
Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided,

shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this
Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure
by the Borrowers therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would
reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder,
in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder,
in each case to the extent subject to such participation.

(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee, designee or participant
or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such
Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the
assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the
confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrowers received by it from such
Lender.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor
of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

SECTION 9.08. Designation of Borrowers. (a) Designation. The Company may
at any time, by delivery to the Agent of a Designation Agreement duly executed by the Company and a
wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company and substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, designate
such Subsidiary as a Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and such Subsidiary shall thereupon
become a Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and
obligations of a Borrower hereunder; provided that if such Subsidiary is organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction other than that of the United States or a political subdivision thereof,
the Company shall give 15 days prior notice to the Agent. The Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of such designation of any such subsidiary.

(ii) As soon as practicable and in any event within five Business Days after notice of the
designation under Section 9.08(a)(i) of a Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that
may not legally lend to such Subsidiary (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Company
and the Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Company shall, effective on
or before the date that such Subsidiary shall become a Borrower hereunder, either (A) (1) replace
such Protesting Lender in accordance with Section 9.07 or (2) notify the Agent and such Protesting
Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated; provided that
(x) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, and (y) such Protesting Lender shall have received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances (other than Competitive Bid Advances), accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the relevant Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a
Borrower hereunder.

(b) Termination. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Subsidiary, so long as at the
time no Notice of Borrowing in respect of such Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s status
as a Borrower shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Agent to the Lenders (which
notice the Agent shall give promptly, and only upon its receipt of a request therefor from the
Company). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Advance
hereunder to such Subsidiary.

SECTION 9.09. Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any
Confidential Information or any information relating to the Agent’s fees, the Syndication Agents’
fees or the level of usage of the Commitments hereunder to any other Person without the consent of
the Borrowers, other than (a) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by Section 9.07(f), to actual or
prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by
any law, rule or regulation or judicial process and (c) as requested or required by any state,
federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking or other financial
institutions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company, the Agent and the
Lenders may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment
and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Company, the Agent or any Lender relating
to such U.S. tax treatment and tax structure.

SECTION 9.10. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court
it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with
such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum
due hereunder in a Foreign Currency into Dollars, the parties agree, to the fullest extent that
they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such Foreign Currency with Dollars at
Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given.

(c) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the
"Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such
other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the
applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as
the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be)
against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such
sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such
Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

SECTION 9.13. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Designated Subsidiary hereby agrees that service of
process in any such action or proceeding brought in the any such New York State court or in such
federal court may be made upon CT Corporation System at its offices at 1633 Broadway, New York, New
York 10019 (the “Process Agent”) and each Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints
the Process Agent its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and agrees that the
failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the
validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.
Each Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or
proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrowers at their address specified pursuant to Section 9.02. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the
courts of any jurisdiction. To the extent that each Designated Subsidiary has or hereafter may
acquire 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) with respect to itself or its property, each Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably
waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 9.14. Substitution of Currency. If a change in any Foreign Currency occurs
pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national
authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definitions of Eurocurrency Rate and
LIBO Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Agent (acting reasonably and in
consultation with the Borrowers) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the
Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if
no change in such Foreign Currency had occurred.

SECTION 9.15. Power of Attorney. Each Subsidiary of the Company may from time to
time authorize and appoint the Company as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver (a) any
amendment, waiver or consent in accordance with Section 9.01 on behalf of and in the name of such
Subsidiary and (b) any notice or other communication hereunder, on behalf of and in the name of
such Subsidiary. Such authorization shall become effective as of the date on which such Subsidiary
delivers to the Agent a power of attorney enforceable under applicable law and any additional
information to the Agent as necessary to make such power of attorney the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Subsidiary.

SECTION 9.16. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on
behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct
Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Patriot
Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the
Patriot Act. Each Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information
and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist
the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

1

SECTION 9.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders
hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
(whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
Notes or the actions of the Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or
enforcement thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT D-1 — FORM OF

OPINION OF COUNSEL

FOR THE COMPANY

     , 2005

To each of the Lenders parties

to the Five Year Credit Agreement

dated as of December 16, 2005 among

Rohm and Haas Company, said

Lenders, and Citibank, N.A., as

Agent for said Lenders, and to

Citibank, N.A., as Agent

Rohm and Haas Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(iv) of the Five Year Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Rohm and Haas
Company (the “Borrower”), the Designated Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
from time to time party thereto, the Lenders parties thereto, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as
lead arranger and bookrunner, and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for said Lenders, and Bank of America,
N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agents.
Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

We have acted as counsel for the Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of the Credit Agreement.

In that connection, we have examined:

(1) The Credit Agreement.

(2) The documents furnished by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Credit
Agreement.

(3) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (the
“Charter”).

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

(5) A certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware, dated      , 2005,
attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower in that State.

We have also examined the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such corporate
records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Borrower, and
agreements, instruments and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the
opinions expressed below. As to questions of fact material to such opinions, we have, when
relevant facts were not independently established by us, relied upon certificates of the Borrower
or its officers or of public officials. We have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant
to due authorization, of the Credit Agreement by the Initial Lenders and the Agent.

Our opinions expressed below are limited to the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United States.

Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, we are of
the following opinion:

1. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the
Notes, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, are within the Borrower’s
corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not violate
(i) the Charter or the By-laws or (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower
(including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System). The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of
the Borrower.

3. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes.

4. If the Credit Agreement and the Notes were to be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, the Credit Agreement would be, and after giving effect to the initial Borrowing,
the Notes would be, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the
Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.

5. To the best of our knowledge, there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or
proceedings against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency
or arbitrator that purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of
the Credit Agreement or any of the Notes or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby.

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

(a) Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers),
reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(b) Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of general principles of
equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and
fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) We express no opinion as to (i) Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement insofar as it
provides that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant thereto may
exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation, and (ii) the effect of the
law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein any Lender may be located or
wherein enforcement of the Credit Agreement or the Notes may be sought that limits the rates of
interest legally chargeable or collectible.

(d) Whenever our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is qualified by
the use of the phrase “To the best of our knowledge”, it is intended to indicate that no
information has come to the attention of lawyers currently in our Firm who have worked on the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement or having primary responsibility for our
representation of the Borrower which would give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence
of such facts.

This opinion is solely for the benefit of the addressees hereof for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. This opinion letter may not be relied upon
by you or any Person or entity for any other purpose, or relied upon by any other Person, without
our prior written consent, except that a copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any of
you to any Person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement. Any such Lender may rely on the opinions expressed above as if this opinion letter
were addressed and delivered to such Lender on the date hereof.

Very truly yours,

EXHIBIT D-2 — FORM OF

OPINION OF THE GENERAL

COUNSEL OF THE COMPANY

     , 2005

To each of the Lenders parties

to the Five Year Credit Agreement

dated as of December 16, 2005 among

Rohm and Haas Company, said

Lenders, and Citibank, N.A., as

Agent for said Lenders, and to

Citibank, N.A., as Agent

Rohm and Haas Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(v) of the Five Year Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Rohm and Haas
Company (the “Borrower”), the Designated Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
from time to time party thereto, the Lenders parties thereto, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as
lead arranger and bookrunner, and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for said Lenders, and Bank of America,
N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agents.
Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I am the general counsel of the Borrower and have acted in such capacity in connection with
the preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement.

In that connection, I (or other attorneys within the Borrower’s legal department) have
examined:

(1) The Credit Agreement.

(2) The documents furnished by the Borrower pursuant to Article III of the Credit Agreement.

(3) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (the
“Charter”).

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

(5) A certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware, dated      , 2005,
attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower in that State.

I (or other attorneys within the Borrower’s legal department) have also examined the originals, or
copies certified to our satisfaction, of the documents listed in a certificate of the chief
financial officer of the Borrower, dated the date hereof (the “Certificate”), certifying
that the documents listed in such certificate are all of the indentures, loan or credit agreements,
leases, guarantees, mortgages, security agreements, bonds, notes and other agreements or
instruments, and all of the orders, writs, judgments, awards, injunctions and decrees, that affect
or purport to affect the Borrower’s right to borrow money or the Borrower’s obligations under the
Credit Agreement or the Notes. In addition, I (or such other attorneys) have examined the
originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the
Borrower, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Borrower, and agreements,
instruments and other documents, as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed
below. As to questions of fact material to such opinions, I have, when relevant facts were not
independently established by us, relied upon certificates of the Borrower or its officers or of
public officials. I have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of
the Credit Agreement by the Initial Lenders and the Agent.

My opinions expressed below are limited to the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United States.

Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as I have deemed necessary, I am of the
following opinion:

1. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the
Notes, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not contravene any
contractual or legal restriction contained in any document listed in the Certificate or, to the
best of my knowledge, contained in any other similar document.

2. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
person or entity party to any of the agreements or documents listed in the Certificate is
required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement
and the Notes[, except for the authorizations, approvals, actions, notices and filings listed on
Schedule 4.01(c) to the Credit Agreement, all of which have been duly obtained, taken, given or
made and are in full force and effect].

3. To the best of my knowledge, there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or
proceedings against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency
or arbitrator that purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of
the Credit Agreement or any of the Notes or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby or that, during the term of the Credit Agreement, are likely to have a materially adverse
effect upon the financial condition or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

This opinion is solely for the benefit of the addressees hereof for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. This opinion letter may not be relied upon
by you or any Person or entity for any other purpose, or relied upon by any other Person, without
my prior written consent, except that a copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any of
you to any Person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement. Any such Lender may rely on the opinions expressed above as if this opinion letter
were addressed and delivered to such Lender on the date hereof.

Very truly yours,
