such address shall appear in the Security Register.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at
this place.

[Reverse of Security]

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called
the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Base
Indenture”), dated as of February 8, 2001, between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company,
National Association (formerly known as Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (herein called
the “Original Trustee”), which term includes any successor trustee, as supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 13, 2005, among the Company, the Original Trustee and
The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as Series Trustee (herein called the “Series
Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee, and, together with the Original Trustee, the
“Trustees”; the Base Indenture as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall
have the meaning assigned to it in the Base Indenture). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture
for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustees and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000.

     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ and not
more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the
Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such
Securities then outstanding to be redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any
portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of
redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at
the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest
on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date, but interest installments whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date: (i) the yield, under the heading
which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently
published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes
yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption
“Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the comparable treasury issue
(if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life (as defined below),
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the comparable treasury issue
will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a
straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if such release (or any successor
release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such
yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable
treasury issue, calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for

4

 

such redemption date. The treasury rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding
the date fixed for redemption.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an independent
investment banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“remaining life”) of the
Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of the reference treasury dealer
quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury
dealer quotations, or (2) if the independent investment banker obtains fewer than four such
reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     “Independent Investment Banker” means either J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America
Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or Wachovia Capital
Markets, LLC, as specified by the Company, or, if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the
comparable treasury issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing
appointed by the Company.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities
LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., and at least one other primary
U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City selected by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, and
their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a
primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the
Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury
Dealer selected by the Company after consultation with the independent investment banker.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the independent investment banker, of the
bid and ask prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the independent investment banker at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of
this Security or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this
Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

5

 

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and either
or both of the Trustees, as the case may be, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver
is made upon this Security.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Series Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Series
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Series Trustee and offered
the Series Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Series Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a
direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding,
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not
apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of
principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in
the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a
like

6

 

aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustees and any agent of the Company or the Original Trustee or the Series Trustee, as the case
may be, may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustees nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture but not herein shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

the proposed Bid Borrowing is to be an Absolute Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and the Loan Period,
(iv) the maturity date for repayment of each Bid Loan to be made as part of such borrowing (which
maturity date shall not be earlier than one month after the date of any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or
14 days after the date of any proposed Absolute Rate Loan nor later than the earliest to occur of
(x) six months after the date of such proposed Bid Loan, (y) the Termination Date and (z) if the
proposed Bid Loan has an interest rate that is the LIBOR Rate, the last day of the proposed Loan
Period), (v) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto, (vi) the account to which the
proceeds of such Bid Borrowing are to be credited and (vii) any other terms to be applicable to
such Bid Borrowing. The Agent shall promptly give each Bank written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each such request for a Bid Borrowing received by it from the
Company. Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall contemplate Bid Loans in a minimum
aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to
exceed, however, the excess of the then Aggregate Commitment over the aggregate principal amount of
all outstanding Loans, calculated as of the relevant Funding Date, assuming that the Company will
pay, when due, all Loans maturing on or prior to such Funding Date (the “Available
Commitment”).

          (b) Bidding Procedure. Each Bank shall, if in its sole discretion it elects to do
so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Loans to the Company as part of such proposed Bid
Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Bank in its sole discretion and
determined by such Bank independently of each other Bank, by notifying by telephone confirmed in
writing to the Agent at its Notice Office (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company),
before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date (the “Submission Deadline”) that is (x)
in the case of a proposed Absolute Rate Loan, the same day as the date of such proposed Bid Loan
and (y) in the case of a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, two Business Days before the date of such
proposed Bid Loan. Each Bid shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each a
“Bid”), and shall specify in each case (i) the Loan Period, (ii) the minimum amount and
maximum amount of each Bid Loan that such Bank would be willing to make as part of such proposed
Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso in Section 2.1, exceed such Bank’s
Commitment), (iii) the rate or rates of interest therefor and (iv) such Bank’s lending office with
respect to such Bid Loan; provided, that if the Agent in its capacity as a Bank shall, in
its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the Company of such offer before
8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Submission Deadline.

          (c) Acceptance of Bids. The Company shall, in turn, before 10:30 a.m., New
York City time, on the Submission Deadline, either:

     (i) cancel such proposed Bid Borrowing by giving the Agent notice to that effect,

Credit Agreement

 

 

     or

     (ii) accept (such acceptance to be irrevocable) one or more of the offers made by any
Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (b) above by giving notice (in writing or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to the Agent of the amount of each Bid Loan (which amount shall be
equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount,
notified to the Company by the Agent on behalf of such Bank for such Bid Borrowing pursuant
to clause (b) above) to be made by such Bank as part of such Bid Borrowing, and reject any
remaining offers made by any Bank pursuant to clause (b) above by giving the Agent notice to
that effect; provided, that for any maturity date acceptance of offers may only be
made on the basis of ascending Absolute Rates (in the case of an Absolute Rate Loan) or
floating rates (in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan), in each case commencing with the lowest
rate so offered and only as to offers made in conformity with the terms hereof;
provided, further, however, if offers are made by two or more Banks
at the same rate or rates and acceptance of all such equal offers would result in a greater
principal amount of Bid Loans being accepted than the aggregate principal amount requested
by the Company, the Company shall have the right to accept one or more of such equal offers
in their entirety and reject the other equal offer or offers or to allocate acceptance among
all such equal offers (but giving effect to the minimum and maximum amounts specified for
each such offer pursuant to clause (b) above), as the Company may elect in its sole
discretion. The Company may not accept offers whose aggregate principal amount is greater
than the requested aggregate amount as specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing subject to the proviso in Section 2.1.

          (d) Cancellation of Bid Borrowing. If the Company notifies the Agent that such
proposed Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, the Agent shall give prompt
notice thereof to the Banks and such Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

          (e) Notification of Acceptance and Repayment. If the Company accepts one or more of
the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, the Agent shall in turn
promptly notify (x) each Bank that has made an offer as described in clause (b) above, of the date
and aggregate amount of such Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bank
pursuant to clause (b) above have been accepted by the Company and (y) each Bank that is to make a
Bid Loan as part of such Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Bid Loan to be made by such Bank as
part of such Bid Borrowing. The Company agrees to repay the principal amount of each Bid Loan, and
pay the interest accrued thereon, in each case in accordance with the terms bid and accepted as
provided herein and, additionally in the case of the payment of interest, in accordance with
Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof.

          (f) Reliance. The Agent may rely and act upon notice given by telephone by
individuals reasonably believed by the Agent to be those designated to the Agent by the Company or
by any Bank in writing from time to time, without waiting for receipt of written confirmation
thereof, and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent
from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims, actions or other
proceedings relating to such reliance.

Credit Agreement

 

 

          Section 2.3. Funding of Bid Loans. No later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the date specified in each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, each Bank will make available the
Bid Loan, if any, to be made by such Bank as part of the Bid Borrowing requested to be made on such
date in the manner provided below. All amounts shall be made available to the Agent in Dollars and
immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Agent and the Agent promptly will make
available to the Company at its account specified in the relevant Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. Unless the
Agent shall have been notified by any Bank which has submitted a bid pursuant to Section 2.2(b)
prior to the date of the proposed Bid Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to
the Agent its portion, if any, of the Bid Borrowing to be made on such date, the Agent may assume
that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on such date of the Bid Borrowing, and
the Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation
to do so) make available to the Company a corresponding amount.

          SECTION 3. COMMITTED LOANS AND NOTES.

          Section 3.1. Agreement to Make Committed Loans. On the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make Loans
(herein collectively called “Committed Loans” and individually each called a “Committed
Loan”) on a revolving basis from time to time from the date hereof until such Bank’s
Termination Date in such Bank’s Percentage of such aggregate amounts as the Company may from time
to time request as provided in Section 3.2; provided, that (a) the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of any Bank shall not at any time exceed the amount set
forth opposite such Bank’s name on Schedule I (as reduced in accordance with Section 5.1, Section
13.4 or Section 13.8) and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of
all Banks plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Loans of all Banks
shall not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Commitment. Within the limits of this Section 3.1,
the Company may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Committed Loans on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

          Section 3.2. Procedure for Committed Loans.

          (a) Committed Loan Requests. The Company shall give the Agent irrevocable telephonic
notice at the Notice Office (promptly confirmed in writing on the same day), not later than 10:30
a.m., New York City time, (i) at least three Business Days prior to the Funding Date in the case of
LIBOR Rate Loans or (ii) on the Funding Date in the case of Base Rate Loans, of each requested
Committed Loan, and the Agent shall promptly advise each Bank thereof and, in the case of a LIBOR
Rate Loan, if the Telerate Page is not available, request each Reference Bank to notify the Agent
of its applicable rate (as contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). Each such notice to the Agent
(a “Committed Loan Request”) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C and shall
specify (i) the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Loans requested (in an amount permitted under clause (b) below), (iii)
whether each Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan and (iv) if a LIBOR Rate
Loan, the Loan Period therefor (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Loan
Period).

Credit Agreement

 

 

          (b) Amount and Increments of Committed Loans. Each Committed Loan Request shall
contemplate Committed Loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral
multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed in the aggregate (for all requested Committed Loans) the
Available Commitment.

          (c) Funding of Committed Loans.

          (i) Not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of a Committed Loan,
each Bank shall, subject to this Section 3.2(c), provide the Agent at its Notice Office with
immediately available funds covering such Bank’s Committed Loan (provided, that a Bank’s
obligation to provide funds to the Agent shall be deemed satisfied by such Bank’s delivery to the
Agent at its Notice Office not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, of a Federal reserve wire
confirmation number covering the proceeds of such Bank’s Committed Loan) and the Agent shall pay
over such funds to the Company not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day if the
Agent shall have received the documents required under Section 10 with respect to such Loan and the
other conditions precedent to the making of such Loan shall have been satisfied not later than
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day. If the Agent does not receive such documents or such
other conditions precedent have not been satisfied prior to such time, then (A) the Agent shall not
pay over such funds to the Company, (B) the Company’s Committed Loan Request related to such Loan
shall be deemed cancelled in its entirety, (C) in the case of Committed Loan Requests relative to
LIBOR Rate Loans, the Company shall be liable to each Bank in accordance with Section 7.4 and (D)
the Agent shall return the amount previously provided to the Agent by each Bank on the next
following Business Day.

          (ii) The Company agrees, notwithstanding its previous delivery of any documents required
under Section 10 with respect to a particular Loan, immediately to notify the Agent of any failure
by it to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan. The Agent shall be entitled
to assume, after it has received each of the documents required under Section 10 with respect to a
particular Loan, that each of the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan has been
satisfied absent actual knowledge to the contrary received by the Agent prior to the time of the
receipt of such documents. Unless the Agent shall have notified the Banks prior to 10:30 a.m., New
York City time, on the Funding Date of any Loan that the Agent has actual knowledge that the
conditions precedent to the making of such Loan have not been satisfied, the Banks shall be
entitled to assume that such conditions precedent have been satisfied.

          (d) Repayment of Loans. If any Bank is to make a Committed Loan hereunder on a day
on which the Company is to repay (or has elected to prepay, pursuant to Section 5.2) all or any
part of any outstanding Loan held by such Bank, the proceeds of such new Committed Loan shall be
applied to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between
the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be requested by the Agent to be made
available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in Section 3.2(c).

          Section 3.3. Maturity of Committed Loans. Except for a Base Rate Loan, which shall
mature on the Termination Date (or the date contemplated by Section 5.3 if the Term-Out

Credit Agreement

 

 

Option is
in effect), a Committed Loan made by a Bank shall mature on the last day of the Loan Period
applicable to such Committed Loan, but in no event later than the Termination Date for such Bank
(or the date contemplated by Section 5.3 if the Term-Out Option is in effect).

          SECTION 4. INTEREST AND FEES.

          Section 4.1. Interest Rates. The Company hereby promises to pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the Funding Date for such Loan
until such Loan is paid in full, as follows:

          (a) if such Loan is a Bid Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Absolute Rate or the LIBOR
Rate, as applicable, offered by the applicable Bank and accepted by the Company for such Bid Loan;

          (b) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to
time in effect; and

          (c) if such Loan is a Committed Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to
the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period for such Loan;

provided, however, that after the maturity of any Loan (whether by acceleration or
otherwise), such Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per
annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved) equal to
the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the interest rate in effect for such
Loan immediately prior to maturity) plus 1% per annum.

          Section 4.2. Interest Payment Dates. Except for Base Rate Loans, as to which accrued
interest shall be payable on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (or
the date contemplated by Section 5.3 if the Term-Out Option is in effect), accrued interest on each
Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the Loan Period therefor and (i) with respect
to each LIBOR Rate Loan with a Loan Period of six months, on the day that is three months after the
first day of such Loan Period (or, if there is no day in such third month numerically corresponding
to such first day of the Loan Period, on the last Business Day of such month) and (ii) with respect
to each Absolute Rate Loan with a Loan Period exceeding 90 days, on the day that is 90 days after
the first day of such Loan Period. After the maturity of any Loan, accrued interest on such Loan
shall be payable on demand. If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and the
interest paid shall cover the period of postponement (except that if the Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan
and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such interest
payment date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day).

          Section 4.3. Setting and Notice of Committed Loan Rates. (a) The applicable interest
rate for each Committed Loan hereunder shall be determined by the Agent and notice thereof shall be
given by the Agent promptly to the Company and to each Bank. Each determination of the applicable
interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence
of demonstrable error.

Credit Agreement

 

 

          (b) In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to
notify the Agent in a timely fashion of its applicable rate after the Agent’s request (if any)
therefor under Section 2.2(a) and Section 3.2(a) (as contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). If
as to any Loan Period the Telerate Page is not available and any one or more of the Reference Banks
is unable or for any reason fails to notify the Agent of its applicable rate by 11:30 a.m., New
York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then the applicable LIBOR Rate shall be
determined on the basis of the rate or rates of which the Agent is given notice by the remaining
Reference Bank or Banks by such time. If the Telerate Page is not available and none of the
Reference Banks notifies the Agent of the applicable rate prior to 11:30 a.m., New York City time,
two Business Days before the Funding Date, then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other
parties thereof and (ii) at the option of the Company the Committed Loan Request delivered by the
Company pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Funding Date shall be cancelled or shall be
deemed to have specified a Base Rate Loan.

          (c) The Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company
or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Agent in determining the interest
rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan.

          Section 4.4. Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the accounts
of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages an annual
facility fee computed by multiplying the average daily amount of the Aggregate Commitment (whether
used or unused) by the applicable percentage determined with respect to such facility fee in
accordance with Schedule II hereto. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning with the last Business
Day of December, 2005) until the Commitments have expired or have been terminated and on the date
of such expiration or termination (and, in the case of any Terminating Bank, such Bank’s
Termination Date), in each case for the period then ending for which such facility fee has not
previously been paid.

          Section 4.5. Utilization Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the
accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages,
during any period that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds 33.33% of
the Aggregate Commitment, a utilization fee computed by multiplying the average daily amount of the
Aggregate Commitment by the applicable percentage determined with respect to such utilization fee
in accordance with Schedule II hereto; provided, that if the then outstanding aggregate
principal amount of Bid Loans exceeds an amount equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as
then in effect, then in calculating the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans for
purposes of this
Section 4.5 only, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans shall not include an
amount equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as then in effect. Accrued utilization fees
shall be due and payable on each date that interest is payable on each such Loan.

          Section 4.6. Agent’s Fees. The Company agrees promptly to pay to the Agent such fees
as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Agent.

Credit Agreement

 

 

          Section 4.7. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans, and
facility and utilization fees shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis
of a 360-day year; and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed for the actual number of days
elapsed on the basis of a 365/366 day year, as the case may be. The interest rate applicable to
each LIBOR Rate Loan and Base Rate Loan, and (to the extent applicable) after the maturity of any
other type of Loan, the interest rate applicable to such Loan, shall change simultaneously with
each change in the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable.

          SECTION 5. REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

          Section 5.1. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Company may
at any time on at least 5 days’ prior irrevocable notice received by the Agent (which shall
promptly on the same day or on the next Business Day advise each Bank thereof) permanently reduce
the amount of the Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata among the Banks
according to their respective Percentages) to an amount not less than the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Loans. Any such reduction shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Concurrently with any such reduction, the
Company shall prepay the principal of any Committed Loans outstanding to the extent that the
aggregate amount of such Loans outstanding shall then exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as so
reduced. The Company may from time to time on like irrevocable notice terminate the Commitments
upon payment in full of all Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all fees and all other obligations
of the Company hereunder; provided, however, that the Company may not at any time
terminate the Commitments if any Bid Loan is outstanding (unless the holder of each such
outstanding Bid Loan has given its prior written consent to the concurrent repayment of such Bid
Loan).

          Section 5.2. Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may voluntarily prepay Loans (other
than Bid Loans, which may only be prepaid with the prior written consent of the holder thereof)
without premium or penalty, except as may be required pursuant to subsection (e) below, in whole or
in part; provided, that (a) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) except for the prepayment
of the aggregate amount of all Loans outstanding, no such prepayment shall result in there being
less than $10,000,000 in Loans outstanding in the aggregate, (c) the Company shall give the Agent
at its Notice Office (which shall promptly advise each Bank) not less than three Business Days’
prior notice thereof specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment, (d)
any prepayment
of principal of any Loan shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the
principal amount being prepaid and (e) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 7.4.

          Section 5.3. Term-Out Option. The Company may, by notice to the Agent not less than
10 days prior to the then-effective Termination Date, subject to the conditions set forth below in
this Section 5.3, elect to convert the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Committed
Loans of each Bank as of such then-effective Termination Date to a term loan of such Bank in said
amount (herein collectively called “Term Loans” and individually each called a “Term
Loan”). Each Term Loan shall bear interest, from and including such then-effective

Credit Agreement

 

 

Termination
Date until the payment thereof in full, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case such Term Loan
is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate from time to time in effect and (y) in the case such Term Loan
is a LIBOR Rate Loan, the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period for such Term Loan, and in each
case shall otherwise constitute a Committed Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company
agrees to repay to the Agent for account of the Banks the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans
on the date 364 days after such then-effective Termination Date or, if such date is not a Business
Day, the immediately preceding Business Day (and any outstanding Committed Note shall be deemed
amended accordingly). Once repaid or prepaid (other than as contemplated by Section 3.2(d)), Term
Loans cannot be reborrowed. Anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, any such
conversion shall be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) no Unmatured Event of Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such then-effective Termination Date and
(ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 8 shall be true on and as of
such then-effective Termination Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such
date. Each notice of conversion delivered by the Company in accordance with this Section 5.3 shall
constitute a certification by the Company to the effect set forth in the preceding sentence (both
as of the date of such notice and, unless the Company, after delivery of such notice, otherwise
notifies the Agent prior to such then-effective Termination Date, as of such date).
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, facility fees contemplated by Section
4.4 and utilization fees contemplated by Section 4.5 shall cease to accrue after the effectiveness
of the Term-Out Option.

          SECTION 6. MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SET-OFF; TAXES.

          Section 6.1. Making of Payments. Except as provided in Section 3.2(d), payments
(including those made pursuant to Section 5.1) of principal of, or interest on, the Loans and all
payments of fees and any other payments required to be made by the Company to the Agent hereunder
shall be made by the Company to the Agent in immediately available funds at its Payment Office not
later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date due; and funds received after that hour
shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next following Business Day. The Agent
shall promptly remit to each Bank its share (if any) of each such payment. All payments under
Section 7 and all payments required to be made hereunder to any Person other than the Agent shall
be made by the Company when due directly to the Persons entitled thereto in immediately available
funds.

          Section 6.2. Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing.

          (a) Except as required pursuant to Section 7 or Section 13.8, each payment or prepayment of
principal of any Committed Loans, each payment of interest on the Committed Loans, each payment of
the utilization fee and each payment of the facility fee shall be allocated pro
rata among the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages. Each payment of
principal of any Bid Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks
participating in such Bid Borrowing in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their
outstanding Bid Loans comprising such Bid Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Bid Borrowing
shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks participating in such Bid Borrowing in
accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Bid
Loans comprising

Credit Agreement

 

 

such Bid Borrowing.

          (b) If any Bank or other holder of a Committed Loan shall obtain any payment or other
recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of
principal of, interest on or fees or other amounts with respect to any Committed Loan in excess of
the share of payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries under Section 7 or
pursuant to Section 13.8) such Bank or other holder would have received if such payment had been
distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2(a), such Bank or other holder shall purchase
from the other Banks or holders, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such participations in
the Committed Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that all such payments of principal and
interest with respect to the Committed Loans shall be shared by the Banks and other holders
pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Bank or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          (c) If any Bank or other holder of a Bid Loan shall obtain any payment or other recovery
(whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of,
interest on or fees or other amounts with respect to any Bid Loan in excess of the share of
payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries pursuant to Section 7 or Section
13.8) such Bank or other holder would have received if such payment had been distributed pursuant
to the provisions of Section 6.2(a), such Bank or other holder shall purchase from the other Banks
or holders participating in such Bid Borrowing, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such
participations in the Bid Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that all such payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Bid Loans shall be shared by the Banks and other holders
participating in such Bid Borrowing in a manner consistent with Section 6.2(a); provided,
however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Bank or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          Section 6.3. Set-off. The Company agrees that the Agent, each Bank, each Assignee
and each Participant has all rights of set-off and banker’s lien provided by applicable law, and
the Company further agrees that at any time (i) any amount owing by the Company under this
Agreement is due to any such Person or (ii) any Event of Default exists, each such Person may
apply to the payment of any amount payable hereunder any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with such Person.

          Section 6.4. Taxes, etc. (a) All payments made by the Company to the Agent, any
Bank, any Assignee or any Participant under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without any
set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any
present or future Covered Taxes now or hereafter imposed (except to the extent that such
withholding or deduction (x) is compelled by law, (y) results from the breach, by the recipient of
a payment, of its agreement contained in Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or Section 6.4(e) or (z)
would not be required if the representation or warranty contained in the second sentence of Section
6.4(b) were true as of the date of this Agreement, or with respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank
pursuant to Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2 or Section 13.8, true at the time

Credit Agreement

 

 

such Bank becomes a
Bank hereunder). If the Company is compelled by law to make any such deductions or withholdings of
any Covered Taxes it will:

     (i) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be so withheld or
deducted,

     (ii) except to the extent that such withholding or deduction results from the breach
by the recipient of its agreement contained in Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or Section
6.4(e) or, if applicable, would not be required if the representation or warranty contained
in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b) were true as of the date of this Agreement, or with
respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2 or Section
13.8, true at the time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, pay such additional amounts as
may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Agent, each Bank, each
Assignee and each Participant after such deductions or withholdings (including any required
deduction or withholding on such additional amounts) shall equal the amount such payee would
have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and

     (iii) promptly forward to the Agent (for delivery to such payee) an official receipt
or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such
authorities.

          Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee
or any Participant, such payee may pay such Covered Taxes, and, upon receipt of an official receipt
or other satisfactory documentation evidencing such payment, the Company shall promptly pay such
additional amount (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or reasonable expenses)
as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such payee after the payment of such
Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such
payee would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted (provided, that the
Agent, the Banks, and any Assignee or Participant shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent
consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to minimize to the extent possible any such
Covered Taxes if they can do so without
material cost or legal or regulatory disadvantage). For purposes of this Section 6.4, a
distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any Bank, Assignee or
Participant shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company. The Company’s agreement under this
Section 6.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of
this Agreement.

          (b) In consideration of, and as a condition to, the Company’s undertakings in Section 6.4(a),
each Bank other than a Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
America or any State thereof (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent
at its Payment Office for delivery to the Company, before the first scheduled payment date in each
year, (i) to the extent it acts for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or
payable to such Non-U.S. Bank under this Agreement, two original copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or any successor forms), as appropriate, properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, and

Credit Agreement

 

 

claiming complete exemption from withholding
and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (ii) to the extent it does not act or has ceased
to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Bank
under this Agreement (for example, in the case of a typical Participation by such Non-U.S. Bank),
(1) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank acts
for its own account, two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such
Non-U.S. Bank under subsection (i) of this Section 6.4(b), properly completed and duly executed by
such Non-U.S. Bank and claiming complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States
Federal Taxes, and (2) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such
Non-U.S. Bank does not act or has ceased to act for its own account, two original copies of United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly
executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any information, if any, such Non-U.S. Bank chooses
to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the
Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder. Each Bank hereby (i) represents and
warrants to the Company that, at the date of this Agreement, or at the time such Bank becomes a
Bank hereunder, it is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest hereunder without
deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political
subdivision thereof, and (ii) acknowledges that in the event that after the date of this Agreement
or after the date that a Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, such Bank is no longer entitled to receive
payments or principal and interest hereunder without deduction for or on account of any Taxes
imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof, such Bank will be
subject to removal pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof.

          (c) Each Non-U.S. Bank hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such
Non-U.S. Bank of any forms or other information pursuant to Section 6.4(b), whenever a lapse in
time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly (and in all
events, prior to the next applicable payment date), deliver to the Agent at the Payment Office for
delivery to the Company two original copies of any renewal, amendment or additional or successor
forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any other
certificate or statement of exemption required by applicable law or regulation in order to (i)
confirm or establish such Non-U.S. Bank’s complete
exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to
payments to such Bank under this Agreement or (ii) in the case of a change in law after the date on
which such Non-U.S. Bank became a Bank hereunder that results in a withholding or deduction of
United States Federal Taxes on payments hereunder to such Non-U.S. Bank, establish the status of
such Non-U.S. Bank as other than a United States person for United States Federal tax purposes and,
to the extent entitled under an applicable treaty or other law, claim the benefit of a reduced rate
of withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to any such payments under
an applicable tax treaty of the United States, or (iii) if applicable, confirm or establish that
such Non-U.S. Bank does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such
payments.

          (d) If the Company determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a
Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4,
the Agent and the Banks, as applicable, shall, subject to Section 6.4(f),

Credit Agreement

 

 

cooperate with the
Company in challenging such Covered Tax at the Company’s expense if requested by the Company (it
being understood and agreed that neither the Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to
contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any Tax). If the Agent or a Bank has actual
knowledge that it is entitled to receive a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly
identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) in respect of a
Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4,
it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund (unless it was made aware
of such refund by the Company) and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request from the
Company, apply for such refund at the Company’s expense. If the Agent or any Bank receives a
refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an amount otherwise
owed to the relevant taxing authority) of any Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has
paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4 which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of
the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is allocable to such payment made under this Section
6.4, the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon) shall be paid to the
Company, but only to the extent of the additional amounts received from the Company, provided
that, in the case of a Covered Tax the Company was required to deduct and withhold under this
Section 6.4, the Company deducted and withheld such Covered Tax in full as and when required
pursuant to this Section 6.4, provided further, that if such refund subsequently becomes
unavailable or must be returned, this will be treated as a Covered Tax indemnifiable under this
Section 6.4.

          (e) Each Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America
or any State thereof (a “U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent at the
Payment Office for delivery to the Company, on or before the date of this Agreement or on or before
the date such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder and on or before the date on which such Bank ceases to
act for its own account with respect to the applicable portion of any sums paid or payable to such
U.S. Bank and before the first scheduled payment date in each subsequent year a copy of United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly
executed by such U.S. Bank, and claiming that it is organized and existing under the laws of the
United States of America or any State thereof.

          (f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall require any Bank to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to
the Company or any other Person.

          (g) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has
knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to receipt of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 6.4 and will designate a different Funding Office if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such amounts and will not, in such
Bank’s sole discretion, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

	 	 	 	SECTION 7. INCREASED COSTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR ABSOLUTE RATE LOANS AND LIBOR
RATE LOANS.

          Section 7.1. Increased Costs. (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any

Credit Agreement

 

 

applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office
of such Bank) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency,

     (A) shall subject any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) to any tax, duty or
other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR
Rate Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or any Funding
Office of such Bank) of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Rate Loans or any other
amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to
make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
such Bank or its Funding Office imposed by any Governmental Authority of the country in
which such Bank is incorporated or in which such Bank’s Funding Office is located);

     (B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without
limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but
excluding any reserve included in the determination of additional interest pursuant to
Section 4.1), special deposit, assessment (including any assessment for insurance of
deposits) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank); or

     (C) shall impose on any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) any other condition
affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate
Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or to impose an additional cost
on) such Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or such Bank’s Funding Office)
under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, then within 10
days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the
basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or such reduction (without duplication
of any amounts which have been paid or reimbursed).

          (b) If, after the date hereof, any Bank shall determine that the adoption, effectiveness or
phase-in of any applicable law, rule, guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any
change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank or any Person controlling
such Bank) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or any Person controlling such
Bank as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such
controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption,

Credit Agreement

 

 

change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Bank’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy),
then, from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be
accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly
to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such controlling
Person for such reduction.

          (c) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has
knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant
to this Section 7.1 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Bank’s sole
judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

          Section 7.2. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If with
respect to the Loan Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

     (a) the Telerate Page is not available and the Agent is advised by two or more
Reference Banks that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered
to such Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Loan Period, or the Agent otherwise
determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that, by
reason of circumstances affecting the LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

     (b) the Required Banks advise the Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Agent
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Banks of maintaining or
funding LIBOR Rate Loans for such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of LIBOR Rate
Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this
Agreement which in such Required Banks’ opinion materially affects LIBOR Rate Loans,

then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) so long as such
circumstances shall continue, no Bank shall be under any obligation to make any LIBOR Rate
Loan.

          Section 7.3. Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful. In the event that any
change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or in the
interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory
body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of such
Bank raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for a Bank to make, maintain or
fund any LIBOR Rate Loan, then (a) such Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties
hereto, (b) upon the effectiveness of such event and so long as such unlawfulness shall continue,
the obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and any request by the
Company for LIBOR Rate Loans shall, as to such Bank, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate
Loan, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Committed Loan, or an Absolute Rate Loan, if said LIBOR Rate
Loan is a Bid Loan and (c) on the last day of the current Loan Period for such Bank’s LIBOR Rate
Loans (or, in any event, if such Bank so requests on such earlier date as may be required by the
relevant law, regulation or interpretation)

Credit Agreement

 

 

such Bank’s Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans shall
cease to be maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest at a floating rate
per annum equal to the Base Rate, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Committed Loan, or at an Absolute
Rate, which Absolute Rate shall be the LIBOR Rate in effect during such Loan Period, if said LIBOR
Rate Loan is a Bid Loan. If at any time the event giving rise to such unlawfulness shall no longer
exist, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent.

          Section 7.4. Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Bank
(which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of
the amount being claimed) the Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense
which such Bank may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Bank to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan), as reasonably determined by
such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or mandatory or voluntary prepayment (including, without
limitation, any payment pursuant to Section 7.3 or any payment resulting from acceleration) of any
LIBOR Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day of the Loan
Period for such Loan or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow any Loans on the originally
scheduled Funding Date specified therefor pursuant to this Agreement (including, without
limitation, any failure to borrow resulting from any failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to
such borrowing). For this purpose, all notices to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all acceptances of Bids) shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

          Section 7.5. Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to Section 7.1(c)), each Bank shall be
entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees
fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations
hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Rate Loan or
Absolute Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a
maturity corresponding to such Loan Period and
bearing an interest rate equal to the rate borne by such Loan for such Loan Period.

          Section 7.6. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations
and statements of any Bank pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error, and each Bank may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining
compensation pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive
termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans.

          SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

          To induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans hereunder, the Company
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Agent and the Banks, which
representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Notes and the disbursement of the initial Loans hereunder:

authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or
properties, such qualification is required, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 8.2. Authorization; Consents; No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the
Company of this Agreement and the Notes, the borrowings hereunder and the performance by the
Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (a) are within the corporate powers
of the Company, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company, (c) have received all necessary approvals, authorizations, consents, registrations,
notices, exemptions and licenses (if any shall be required) from Governmental Authorities and other
Persons, except for any such approvals, authorizations, consents, registrations, notices,
exemptions or licenses non-receipt of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, (d) do not and will not contravene or conflict with any provision of (i) law, (ii)
any judgment, decree or order to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the
Company or any Subsidiary is bound, (iii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of
the Company or any Subsidiary or (iv) any provision of any agreement or instrument binding on the
Company or any Subsidiary, or any agreement or instrument of which the Company is aware affecting
the properties of the Company or any Subsidiary, except with respect to (i), (ii) and (iv) above,
for any such contravention or conflict which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect and (e) do not and will not result in or require the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ properties.

          Section 8.3. Validity and Binding Nature. This Agreement is, and the Notes (if any) when duly executed and delivered will be, legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and
to general equity principles.

          Section 8.4. Financial Statements. The Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements as at December 31, 2004, and unaudited consolidated financial statements as at June 30,
2005, a copy of each of which has been furnished to each Bank, have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applied on a basis
consistent with that of the preceding fiscal year subject, in the case of unaudited financial
statements, to changes resulting from audit and year-end adjustments and fairly present the
financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at such dates and the results of their
operations for the year then ended.

          Section 8.5. Litigation and Contingent Liabilities. All Litigation Actions, taken as
a whole, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than any
liability incident to such Litigation Actions or provided for or disclosed in the financial

Credit Agreement

liabilities which are material to the business, credit, operations or financial condition of the

          Section 8.6. Employee Benefit Plans. Each employee benefit plan (as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained or sponsored by the Company or any Subsidiary complies in all
material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations. During the
twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) no steps
have been taken to terminate any Plan and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any
Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA, (ii) no Reportable Event has
occurred with respect to any Plan and (iii) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has either
withdrawn or instituted steps to withdraw from any Multiemployer Plan, except in any such case for
actions which individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred in connection with any
Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by the Company or any
Subsidiary of any material liability, fine or penalty (imposed by Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 502(i) of ERISA or otherwise). Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is a member of,
or contributes to, any Multiemployer Plan as to which the potential withdrawal liability based upon
the most recent actuarial report could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any material contingent liability with respect to any
post retirement benefit under an employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in section 3(i) of
ERISA), other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA.

          Section 8.7. Investment Company Act. The Company is not an “investment company” or a
company “controlled” by an
“investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          Section 8.8. Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, or an

meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

          Section 8.9. Regulation U. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System as amended from time to time).

          Section 8.10. Information. (a) All information with respect to the Company
contained in the September, 2005 memorandum furnished by the Agent to the Banks and all information
heretofore furnished by the Company to the Agent or any Bank is, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge after due inquiry, true and accurate in every material respect as of the date thereof,
and none of such information contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make such information not misleading.

          (b) All information furnished by the Company to the Agent or any Bank on and

Credit Agreement

 

 

after the date
hereof shall be, to the best of the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, true and accurate in
every material respect as of the date of such information, and none of such information shall
contain any material misstatement of fact or shall omit to state any material fact necessary to
make such information not misleading.

          Section 8.11. Compliance with Applicable Laws, etc. The Company and its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of
all Governmental Authorities (including, without limitation, ERISA and all applicable environmental
laws), except for noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under any agreement or instrument to
which the Company or such Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets
is bound, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the
business, credit, operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          Section 8.12. Insurance. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary maintains, or, in
the case of any property owned by the Company or any Subsidiary and leased to lessees, has
contractually required such lessees to maintain, insurance with financially sound and reputable
insurers to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities as is commonly maintained, or
caused to be maintained, as the case may be, by companies similarly situated.

          Section 8.13. Taxes. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all tax
returns which are required to have been filed and has paid, or made adequate provisions for the
payment of, all of its Taxes which are due and payable, except such Taxes, if any, as are being
contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and as to which such reserves or other
appropriate provisions as may be required by generally accepted accounting principles have been
established and except where failure to pay such Taxes, individually or in the aggregate, cannot
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 8.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Company
for general corporate purposes.

          Section 8.15. Pari Passu. All obligations and liabilities of the Company hereunder shall
rank at least equally and ratably (pari passu) in priority with all other
unsubordinated, unsecured obligations of the Company to any other creditor.

          SECTION 9. COVENANTS.

          Until the expiration or termination of the Commitments, and thereafter until all obligations
of the Company hereunder and under the Notes are paid in full, the Company agrees that, unless at
any time the Required Banks shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, it will:

          Section 9.1. Reports, Certificates and Other Information. Furnish to the Agent with

quarter and for the period from the beginning of such fiscal year to the close of such
quarter.

no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, if
there is any such event, describing it and the steps, if any, being taken to cure it and
containing a computation of, and showing compliance with, each of the financial ratios and
restrictions contained in this Section 9.

     9.1.4. Certain Notices. Forthwith upon learning of the occurrence of any of

          SECTION 12. THE AGENT.

          Section 12.1. Authorization. Each Bank and the holder of each Loan or interest

and in any other document or instrument delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and to take

12.3, the Agent will take such action permitted by any agreement delivered in connection with this
Agreement as may be requested in writing by the Required Banks or if required under Section 13.1,
all of the Banks. The Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Bank or
other holder its share of all payments received by the Agent for the account of such Bank or
holder, and shall promptly transmit to each Bank (or share with each Bank the contents of) each
notice it receives from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

          Section 12.2. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent in its
capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), ratably according to their
respective Percentages (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and
all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses which may at any
time (including, without limitation, at any time following the repayment of the Loans) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated
hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent of any
portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses
resulting from the Agent’s or its employees’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 13.5 each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent
promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of
any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in such
capacity in connection with the preparation, execution or enforcement of, or legal advice in

Credit Agreement

 

 

respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto
or thereto to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. All
obligations provided for in this Section 12.2 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of
the Notes
or any termination of this Agreement.

          Section 12.3. Action on Instructions of the Required Banks. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection
of the Loans), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but
the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the
written instructions from (i) the Required Banks, except for instructions which under the express
provisions hereof must be received by the Agent from all Banks and (ii) in the case of such
instructions, from all Banks. In no event will the Agent be required to take any action which
exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.
The relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and principal only
and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the Agent a trustee for any holder of
a Loan or of a participation therein nor to impose on the Agent duties and obligations other than
those expressly provided for herein.

          Section 12.4. Payments. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Bank
has made its Loan available in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 3.2(c), as applicable, unless
such Bank notifies the Agent at its Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Funding Date for such Loan that it does not intend to make such Loan available, it being understood
that no such notice shall relieve such Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement. If the
Agent makes any payment to the Company on the assumption that a Bank has made the proceeds of such
Loan available to the Agent but such Bank has not in fact made the proceeds of such Loan available
to the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the amount of such
Bank’s Loan, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such
Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which the proceeds of such Bank’s Loan become
immediately available to the Agent at its Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time,
at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. A certificate of the
Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 12.4(a) shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error. If the proceeds of such Bank’s Loan are not made available
to the Agent at its Payment Office by such Bank within three Business Days of such Funding Date,
the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount upon two Business Days’ demand from the Company,
together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to
but excluding the Business Day on which such proceeds become immediately available to the Agent
prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (i) in the case of a Bid Loan, at the rate per annum
applicable thereto and (ii) in the case of a Committed Loan, at the rate per annum applicable to
Base Rate Loans hereunder, in either case based upon a year of 360 days. Nothing in this paragraph
(a) shall relieve any Bank of any obligation it may have hereunder to make any Loan or prejudice
any rights which the Company may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank
hereunder.

          (b) The Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Company has made all payments due
hereunder from the Company on the due date thereof unless it receives notification

Credit Agreement

 

 

prior to any
such due date from the Company that the Company does not intend to make any such payment, it being
understood that no such notice shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this
Agreement. If the Agent distributes any payment to a Bank hereunder in
the belief that the Company has paid to the Agent the amount thereof but the Company has not
in fact paid to the Agent such amount, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand (which shall be
made by facsimile or personal delivery) an amount equal to the amount of the payment made by the
Agent to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including the
date on which the Agent made such payment to but excluding the Business Day on which the amount of
such payment is returned to the Agent at its Payment Office in immediately available funds prior to
12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of
360 days. If the amount of such payment is not returned to the Agent in immediately available
funds within three Business Days after demand by the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on
demand an amount calculated in the manner specified in the preceding sentence after substituting
the term “Base Rate” for the term “Federal Funds Rate”. A certificate of the Agent submitted to
any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 12.4(b) shall be conclusive absent
demonstrable error.

          Section 12.5. Exculpation. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of
counsel concerning legal matters, and upon this Agreement and any Note, security agreement,
schedule, certificate, statement, report, notice or other writing which it believes to be genuine
or to have been presented by a proper person. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall (i) be responsible for any recitals, representations or
warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or
enforceability of, this Agreement, any Note or any other instrument or document delivered hereunder
or in connection herewith, (ii) be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default or Unmatured
Event of Default until after having received actual notice thereof from the Company or a Bank,
(iii) be under any duty to inquire into or pass upon any of the foregoing matters, or to make any
inquiry concerning the performance by the Company or any other obligor of its obligations or (iv)
in any event, be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair
or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Agent in
its individual capacity.

          Section 12.6. Credit Investigation. Each Bank acknowledges, and shall cause each
Assignee or Participant to acknowledge in its assignment or participation agreement with such Bank,
that it has (i) made and will continue to make such inquiries and has taken and will take such care
on its own behalf as would have been the case had the Loans been made directly by such Bank or
other applicable Person to the Company without the intervention of the Agent or any other Bank and
(ii) independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made and will continue to make its own
credit analysis and decisions relating to this Agreement. Each Bank agrees and acknowledges, and
shall cause each Assignee or Participant to agree and acknowledge in its assignment or
participation agreement with such Bank, that the Agent makes no representations or warranties about
the creditworthiness of the Company or any other party to this Agreement or with respect to the
legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note.

          Section 12.7. CUSA and Affiliates. CUSA and each of its successors as Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as
any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the
Agent, and CUSA and any such successor and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to
and generally engage, and continue to engage, in any kind of business with the Company or any
Affiliate thereof as if CUSA or such successor were not the Agent hereunder.

          Section 12.8. Resignation. The Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30
days’ prior notice to the Company and the Banks. In the event of any such resignation, Banks
having an aggregate Percentage of more than 50% shall as promptly as practicable appoint a
successor Agent from among the Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Agent shall have
been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a successor Agent from among the Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such
acceptance being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof or
under the laws of another country which is doing business in the United States of America and
having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $1,000,000,000. 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, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations
under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Section 12 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 12.9. The Register; the Notes.

          (a) The Agent, acting on behalf of the Company, shall maintain a register for the inscription
of the names and addresses of Banks and the Commitments and Loans of each Bank from time to time
(the “Register”). The Company, the Banks, and the Agent may treat each Person whose name
is inscribed in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Agent, or any Bank at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (b) The Agent shall inscribe in the Register the Commitments and the Bid Loans and Committed
Loans from time to time of each Bank, the amount of each Bank’s participation in outstanding Bid
Loans and Committed Loans and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of
the Bid Loans and Committed Loans of each Bank, the principal amount owing from time to time by the
Company in respect of each Bid Loan and each Committed Loan to each Bank of such Loans and the
dates on which the Loan Period for each such Loan shall begin and end. Any such inscription shall
be conclusive and binding on the Company and each Bank, absent manifest or demonstrable error;
provided that failure to make any such inscription, or any error in such inscription, shall
not affect any of the Company’s obligations in respect of
the applicable Loans. The inscription in the Register of the principal amount owing from time
to

Credit Agreement

 

 

time by the Company in respect of each Loan shall constitute an unconditional and irrevocable
covenant by the Company in favor of the Person whose name is so inscribed as the Bank in respect of
such Loan that the Company will make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan
in accordance with this Agreement, make all other payments required by this Agreement to be made by
it in respect of such Loan and otherwise perform all of its obligations under this Agreement in
full and by the due date.

          (c) Each Bank shall record on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and
each payment in respect thereof; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between
the Register and any Bank’s records, the inscriptions in the Register shall govern, absent manifest
or demonstrable error.

          (d) If so requested by any Bank by written notice to the Company (with a copy to Agent) at
least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, the Company shall
execute and deliver to such Bank (and/or, if so specified in such notice, any Person who is an
assignee of such Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1 hereof) promptly after receipt of such notice, a
Bid Note or Committed Note, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit D or
Exhibit E hereto, respectively.

          SECTION 13. GENERAL.

          Section 13.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Agent, any Bank, or
the holder of any Loan in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy
preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this
Agreement or the Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed and delivered by the Agent and by Banks having an aggregate Percentage of not less than the
aggregate Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such
designation as to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, by the Required Banks, and then any
amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent (i) shall
extend (other than in accordance with Section 13.8(a)) or increase the amount of the Commitments,
extend the maturity of any Commitment or Loan, change the definition of “Required Banks” or
“Percentage” in Section 1, amend or modify Section 4.1, or change any of the defined terms used in
Section 4.1, amend or modify Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 4.7, Section 6.2(a), Section 11.1.1,
Section 11.1.8, or this Section 13.1 or otherwise change the aggregate Percentage required to
effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent without the written consent of all Banks, (ii)
shall modify or waive any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 10.1 (or Section 5.3 in
connection with the exercise of the Term-Out Option) for the making of any Loan without the written
consent of the Bank which is to make such Loan or (iii) shall extend the scheduled maturity or
reduce the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, reduce or waive any fee hereunder or extend
the due date for or waive any amount payable under, any Loan without the written consent of the
holder of the Commitment or Loan adversely affected thereby. Amendments, modifications, waivers
and consents of the type described in clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence with respect to Bid Loans or Bid Notes may be effected with the written
consent of the holder of such Bid Loans or Bid Notes and no consent of any

Credit Agreement

 

 

other Bank or other
holder shall be required in connection therewith. No provisions of Section 12 shall be amended,
modified or waived without the Agent’s written consent.

          Section 13.2. Notices.

          (a) Subject to paragraphs (b) through (f) of this Section, all notices, requests and demands
to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be either (x) in writing (including
by telecopy, encrypted or unencrypted) or (y) as and to the extent set forth in Section 13.2(b) and
in the proviso to this Section 13.2(a) and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be
deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered or, in the case of telecopy or e-mail notice,
when received, addressed to the Company, the Agent or such Bank (or other holder) at its address
shown across from its name on Schedule III hereto or at such other address as it may, by written
notice received by the other parties to this Agreement, have designated as its address for such
purpose; provided, that notices hereunder shall not be given or made to the Company by e-mail;
provided, further, that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agent or the Banks pursuant to
Sections 2.2(a), 3.2(a) or 5.2 shall not be effective until received.

          (b) The Company hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Agent, it will provide
to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the
Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial
statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but
excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an
existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or
interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due
under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Unmatured
Event of Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, (iv) is required to be delivered to
satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or
other extension of credit hereunder or (v) initiates or responds to legal process (all such
non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”) by
transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (with such Communications to contain
any required signatures) in a format acceptable to the Agent to
oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com (or such other e-mail address designated by the Agent from
time to time); provided that if requested in writing by any Bank, the Company will provide to such
Bank a hard copy of its financial statements required to be provided hereunder.

          (c) Each party hereto agrees that the Agent may make the Communications available to the Banks
by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or another relevant website, if any, to which each Bank
and the Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the
Agent) (the “Platform”). Nothing in this Section 13.2 shall prejudice the right of the
Agent to make the Communications available to the Banks in any other manner specified in this
Agreement.

          (d) The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of the Banks may be “public-side” Banks
(i.e., Banks that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the
Company or its securities) (each, a “Public Bank”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (i)

Credit Agreement

 

 

Communications that are to be made available on the Platform to Public Banks shall be clearly and
conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear
prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Company shall
be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Banks to treat such Communications as either
publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and
proprietary) with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal
and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made
available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Bank,” and (iv) the Agent shall be
entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for
posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Bank.”

          (e) Each Bank agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next
sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications
have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such
Bank for purposes of this Agreement. Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing
(including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Agent has on record an
effective e-mail address for such Bank to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic
transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

          (f) Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic
medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with
such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available,” (iii) none of the
Agent, its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors
or representatives (collectively, the “Citigroup Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy
or completeness of the Communications or the Platform , and each Citigroup Party expressly
disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (iv) no
warranty of any kind, express, 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 any Citigroup Party in connection with any
Communications or the Platform.

          Section 13.3. Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability
or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting
computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or
calculation shall, at any time and to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in
this Agreement, be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America applied on a basis consistent with those in effect as at the date of the
Company’s audited financial statements referred to in Section 8.4. If there should be any material
change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America after the date
hereof which materially affects the financial covenants in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree
to negotiate in good faith appropriate revisions of such covenants (it being understood, however,
that such covenants shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their existing
terms pending the execution by the Company and the Required Banks of any such amendment).

Credit
Agreement

 

 

          Section 13.4. Assignments; Participations. Each Bank may assign, or sell
participations in, its Loans and its Commitment to one or more other Persons in accordance with
this Section 13.4 (and the Company consents to the disclosure of any information obtained by any
Bank in connection herewith to any actual or prospective Assignee or Participant).

          Section 13.4.1. Assignments. Any Bank may with the written consents of the Company
and the Agent (which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign and
delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (any Person to whom an assignment and delegation is made
being herein called an “Assignee”) all or any fraction of such Bank’s Loans and Commitment
(which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such
assigning Bank’s Loans and Commitment); each such assignment of a Bank’s Commitment shall be in the
minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
provided, that any such Assignee will comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained
in the first sentence of Section 6.4(b) and in Section 6.4(c), Section 6.4(d), Section 6.4(e) and
Section 6.4(g) and shall be deemed to have made, on the date of the effectiveness of such
assignment and delegation, the representation and warranty set forth in the second sentence of
Section 6.4(b); and provided, further, that the Company and the Agent shall be
entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Bank in connection with the
interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until such assigning Bank and/or such Assignee
shall have:

     (i) given written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with
payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such
Assignee, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, to the Company and the Agent;

     (ii) provided evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Agent that, as of
the date of such assignment and delegation, the Company will not be required to pay
any costs, fees, taxes or other amounts of any kind or nature with respect to the
interest assigned in excess of those payable by the Company with respect to such
interest prior to such assignment;

     (iii) paid to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of
$3,500; and

     (iv) provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that
the assigning Bank has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section
12.6.

     Upon receipt of the foregoing items and the consents of the Company and the Agent, and subject to
the acceptance and recordation of the assignment by the Agent pursuant to Section 12.9, (x) the
Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee, such Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and under the other instruments
and documents executed in connection herewith and (y) the assigning Bank, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its
obligations hereunder. The Agent may from time to time (and upon the request

Credit Agreement

 

 

of the Company or any Bank after any change therein shall) distribute a revised Schedule I indicating any changes in the
Banks party hereto or the respective Percentages of such Banks and update the Register. Within
five Business Days after the Company’s receipt of notice from the Agent of the effectiveness of any
such assignment and delegation, if requested by the Assignee in accordance with Section 12.9, the
Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee) new Notes in
favor of such Assignee and, if the assigning Bank has retained Loans and a Commitment hereunder and
if so requested by such Bank in accordance with Section 12.9, replacement Notes in favor of the
assigning Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes previously held
by such assigning Bank). Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes. The
assigning Bank shall promptly mark the predecessor Notes, if any, “exchanged” and deliver them to
the Company. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section
13.4.1 shall be null and void.

     The foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case of, and this Section
13.4.1 shall not restrict, any assignment or other transfer by any Bank of all or any portion of
such Bank’s Loans or Commitment to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank (provided, that such
Federal Reserve Bank shall not be considered a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement) or (ii) any
Affiliate of such Bank (provided, that the assigning or transferring Bank shall give notice
of such assignment or transfer to the Agent and the Company). Further, the foregoing consent
requirement of the Company shall not be applicable if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

     The Company, each Bank, and each Assignee acknowledge and agree that after receipt by the
Agent of the items and consents required by this Section each Assignee shall be considered a Bank
for all purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 6.4, 7.1, 7.4, 13.5 and
13.6) and by its acceptance of an assignment herein, each Assignee agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6.4).

          Section 13.4.2. Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more
commercial banks or other Persons (any such commercial bank or other Person being herein called a
“Participant”) participating interests in any of its Loans, its Commitment or any other
interest of such Bank hereunder; provided, however, that

     (a) no participation contemplated in this Section 13.4.2 shall relieve such Bank from
its Commitment or its other obligations hereunder;

     (b) such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment
and such other obligations hereunder and such Bank shall retain the sole right and
responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder, including the right to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (subject to
Section 13.4.2(d) below);

     (c) the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

Credit Agreement

 

 

     (d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Bank, or is itself
a Bank, shall be entitled to require such Bank to take or refrain from taking any action
hereunder, except that such Bank may agree with any Participant that such Bank will not,
without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in the third
sentence of Section 13.1;

     (e) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 4.1, 6.4 or 7.1
that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had no
participating interest been sold;

     (f) no Participant may further participate any interest in any Committed Loan (and
each participation agreement shall contain a restriction to such effect);

     (g) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall be considered a
Bank for purposes of Section 6.4, Section 7.1, Section 7.4, Section 13.5 and Section 13.6
and by its acceptance of a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or any other
interest of a Bank hereunder, each Participant agrees (i) that it is bound by, and agrees to
deliver all documentation required under, the provisions of Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.4
as if such Participant were a Bank, and (ii) it is not entitled to any benefits under
Section 6.4 or Section 7.1 unless it is in full compliance with all requirements imposed on
Banks under any of those Sections; and

     (h) such Bank shall have provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Agent that such Bank has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

     Any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized
under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “SPV”) of such
Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Agent
and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of its Loans that such
Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, that (i) such SPV shall be deemed to be a Participant for purposes of this
Section 13.4.2, (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan,
(iii) if a SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of
such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and
(iv) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 13.5 or 13.6 that is
greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had such SPV not provided
the Company with any part of any Loan of such Granting Bank. The making of a Loan by a SPV
hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such
Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable
for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (any indemnity, liability or
other payment obligation, including but not limited to any tax liabilities that occur by
reason of such funding by the SPV, shall remain the obligation of the Granting Bank). In
furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it

Credit Agreement

 

 

will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of
the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything contrary contained
in this Section 13.4.2, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of,
the Company and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion
of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Bank providing liquidity and/or credit support to or
for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to
such SPV. This paragraph may not be amended without the written consent of any SPV at the time
holding all or any part of any Loans under this Agreement (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

          Section 13.5. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to pay on demand (a) all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent (and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained
by said counsel)), in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of
this Agreement, the Notes and all other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered
or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (b) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and allocated costs of staff counsel)
incurred by the Agent and each Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes
or any such other instruments or documents. Each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent for such
Bank’s pro rata share (based upon its respective Percentage, determined at the time such
reimbursement is sought) of any such costs or expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of all the
Banks and not paid by the Company other than any fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the
Agent which exceed the amount which the Company has agreed with the Agent to reimburse. In
addition, the Company agrees to pay, and to hold the Agent and the Banks harmless from all
liability for, any stamp or other Taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the issuance of the Notes (if any) or the
execution and delivery of any other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to
be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. All obligations provided for in this Section
13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this
Agreement.

          Section 13.6. Indemnification. In consideration of the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Agent and the Banks, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and
hold each of the Banks, the Agent, the Affiliates of each of the Banks and the Agent, and each of
the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Banks, the Agent and the Affiliates of each of
the Banks and the Agent (collectively herein called the “Bank Parties” and individually
called a “Bank Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of
action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (collectively herein called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the
Bank Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) this Agreement,
the Notes (if any) or the Loans or (ii) the direct or indirect use of proceeds of any of the Loans
or any credit extended hereunder, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of
such Bank Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and if and to the extent

Credit Agreement

 

 

that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which
is permissible under applicable law. The Company agrees not to assert any claim against the Bank
Parties on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages
arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the Notes (if any) or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the
Loans. All obligations provided for in this Section 13.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans,
cancellation of the Notes (if any) or any termination of this Agreement.

          Section 13.7. Regulation U. Each Bank represents that it in good faith is not
relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any margin stock (as such term is defined in
Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) as collateral
security for the extension or maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement.

          Section 13.8. Extension of Termination Dates; Removal of Banks; Substitution of
Banks. (a) Not more than 60 days nor less than 45 days prior to the then-effective Termination
Date, the Company may, at its option, request all the Banks then party to this Agreement to extend
their scheduled Termination Dates by an additional 364 days, or such shorter period as agreed upon
by the Company and the Agent, by means of a letter, addressed to the Agent (who shall promptly
deliver such letter to each Bank), substantially in the form of Exhibit J. Each Bank electing (in
its sole discretion) so to extend its scheduled Termination Date shall execute and deliver not
earlier than the 30th day nor later than the 20th day prior to the then-effective Termination Date
counterparts of such letter to the Company and the Agent, who shall notify the Company, in writing,
of the Banks’ decisions no later than 15 days prior to the existing Termination Date, whereupon
(unless Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 25% decline to extend their respective
scheduled Termination Dates, in which event the Agent shall notify all the Banks thereof and no
such extension shall occur) such Bank’s scheduled Termination Date shall be extended, effective
only as of the date that is such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date, to the date that
is 364 days, or such shorter period as agreed as provided above, after such Bank’s then-current
scheduled Termination Date. Any Bank that declines or fails to respond to the Company’s request
for such extension shall be deemed to have not extended its scheduled Termination Date.

          (b) With respect to any Bank (i) on account of which the Company is required to make any
deductions or withholdings or pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 6.4, (ii) on
account of which the Company is required to pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section
7.1, (iii) for which it is illegal to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, as contemplated by Section 7.3 or
(iv) which has declined to extend such Bank’s scheduled Termination Date and Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 75% have elected to
extend their respective Termination Dates, the Company may in its discretion, upon not less than 30
days’ prior written notice to the Agent and each Bank, remove such Bank as a party hereto. Each
such notice shall specify the date of such removal (which shall be a Business Day and, if such Bank
has any outstanding Bid Loans, shall (unless otherwise agreed by such Bank) be on or after the last
day of the Loan Period for the Bid Loan of such Bank having the latest maturity date), which shall
thereupon become the scheduled Termination Date for such Bank.

Credit Agreement

 

 

          (c) In the event that any Bank does not extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to
subsection (a) above or is the subject of a notice of removal pursuant to subsection (b) above,
then, at any time prior to the Termination Date for such Bank (a “Terminating Bank”), the
Company may, at its option, arrange to have one or more other Eligible Assignees (which may be a
Bank or Banks, or if not a Bank, shall be acceptable to the Agent (such acceptance not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), and each of which shall herein be called a “Successor
Bank”) with the approval of the Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) succeed to all or a percentage of the Terminating Bank’s outstanding Loans, if any, and
rights under this Agreement and assume all or a like percentage (as the case may be) of such
Terminating Bank’s undertaking to make Loans pursuant hereto and other obligations hereunder (as if
(i) in the case of any Bank electing not to extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to
subsection (a) above, such Successor Bank had extended its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to
such subsection (a) and (ii) in the case of any Bank that is the subject of a notice of removal
pursuant to sub-section (b) above, no such notice of removal had been given by the Company);
provided, that prior to replacing any Terminating Bank with any Successor Bank, the Company
shall have given each Bank which has agreed to extend its Termination Date an opportunity to
increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the Terminating Banks’ Commitments. Such succession
and assumption shall be effected by means of one or more agreements supplemental to this Agreement
among the Terminating Bank, the Successor Bank, the Company and the Agent. On and as of the
effective date of each such supplemental agreement (i) each Successor Bank party thereto shall be
and become a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement and to the same extent as any other Bank
hereunder and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement in the same manner
as any other Bank and (ii) the Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Agent a
processing fee of $2,500 for each such Successor Bank which is not a Bank.

          (d) On the Termination Date for any Terminating Bank, such Terminating Bank’s Commitment
shall terminate and the Company shall pay in full all of such Terminating Bank’s Loans (except to
the extent assigned pursuant to subsection (c) above) and all other amounts payable to such Bank
hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.4 on account of such payment);
provided, that if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists on the date
scheduled as any Terminating Bank’s Termination Date, payment of such Terminating Bank’s Loans
shall be postponed to (and, for purposes of calculating facility fees under Section 4.4,
utilization fees under Section 4.5 and determining the Required Banks (except as provided below),
but for no other purpose, such Terminating Bank’s Commitment shall continue until) the first
Business Day thereafter on which (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists
(without regard to any waiver or amendment that makes this Agreement less restrictive for the
Company, other than as described in clause (ii) below) or (ii) the Required Banks (which for purposes of this subsection (d) shall be determined based upon the respective
Percentages and aggregate Commitments of all Banks other than any Terminating Bank whose scheduled
Termination Date has been extended pursuant to this proviso) waive or amend the provisions of this
Agreement to cure all existing Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or agree to permit
any borrowing hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any such event. In the event that CUSA or
its Affiliates shall become a Terminating Bank, the Required Banks with the consent of the Company
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or

Credit Agreement

 

 

delayed) shall appoint another Bank or other Person as Agent, which shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Agent upon the effective
date of and pursuant to an agreement supplemental hereto among the Company and the Banks, and
thereupon CUSA, as Agent, shall be relieved from its obligations as Agent hereunder, it being
understood that the provisions of Section 12 shall inure to the benefit of CUSA as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no such successor
Agent shall be appointed within 30 days of the Termination Date of the Agent, then the Agent shall,
on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in
Section 12.8 for a resigning Agent.

          (e) To the extent that all or a portion of any Terminating Bank’s obligations are not assumed
pursuant to subsection (c) above, the Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced on the applicable
Termination Date and each Bank’s percentage of the reduced Aggregate Commitment shall be revised
pro rata to reflect such Terminating Bank’s absence. The Agent shall distribute a
revised Schedule I indicating such revisions promptly after the applicable Termination Date and
update the Register accordingly. Such revised Schedule I shall be deemed conclusive in the absence
of demonstrable error.

          (f) The Agent agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to assist the Company in locating
one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions to replace any Terminating Bank prior
to such Terminating Bank’s Termination Date.

          Section 13.9. Captions. Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

          Section 13.10. Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE A
CONTRACT MADE UNDER, GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
All obligations of the Company and the rights of the Agent, the Banks and any other holders of the
Loans expressed herein or in the Notes (if any) shall be in addition to and not in limitation of
those provided by applicable law. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

          Section 13.11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties
on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. When counterparts of this
Agreement executed by each party shall have been lodged with the Agent (or, in the case of any Bank
as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Agent shall have received
facsimile or other written confirmation of execution of a counterpart hereof by such Bank), this
Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof and the Agent shall so inform all of the
parties hereto.

          Section 13.12. Further Assurances. The Company agrees to do such other acts

Credit Agreement

 

 

and things, and to deliver to the Agent and each Bank such additional agreements, powers and
instruments, as the Agent or any Bank may reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect
the purposes of this Agreement or to better assure and confirm unto the Agent and each Bank their
respective rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

          Section 13.13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company, the Banks and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to
the benefit of the Company, the Banks and the Agent and the respective successors and assigns of
the Banks and the Agent. The Company may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its
duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the Banks.

          Section 13.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND EACH BANK HEREBY
WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR
WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING
RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

          Section 13.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges that neither the
Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, the Company arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Notes (if any) or the transactions contemplated
hereby, and the relationship between the Agent and the Banks, on the one hand, and the Company, on
the other, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor. This
Agreement does not create a joint venture among the parties.

          Section 13.16. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Company that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October
26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other
information that will allow such Bank to identify the Company in accordance with the Act.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY

October 14, 2005

To the Financial Institutions and

          the Agent Referred to Below

c/o Citicorp USA, Inc.

2 Penns Way, Suite 200

New Castle, Delaware 19720

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as special counsel for International Lease Finance Corporation (the
“Company”) in connection with the $2,000,000,000 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement dated
as of October 14, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, those certain
financial institutions signatory thereto (the “Banks”), and Citicorp USA, Inc., in its
individual capacity and as agent for the Banks (the “Agent”). Terms used herein without
definition have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

          In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction as being true copies of such records, documents or other instruments
as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed
below. We have been furnished, and have relied upon, certificates of officers of the Company with
respect to certain factual matters regarding the Company. As to relevant factual matters, we have
also relied on the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Credit Agreement. In
addition, we have obtained and relied upon such certificates and assurances from public officials
as we have deemed necessary.

          In our review and examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies. For the purpose of
the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due
authorization, of each document referred to in this opinion by each party thereto other than the
Company and its Subsidiaries, that each document constitutes the legally valid and binding
obligation of each such other party enforceable against such party in accordance with its
respective terms and that such other person is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

          We have investigated such questions of law for the purpose of rendering this opinion as we
have deemed necessary. Upon the basis of the foregoing, our reliance upon the assumptions in this
opinion and our considerations of those questions of law we considered relevant and subject to the
limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:

               1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

 

 

-2-

standing under the laws of the State of California, with corporate power to own its properties
and carry on its business as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for
its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

               2. The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to enter into the Credit
Agreement, to make the borrowings under the Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver the Notes and
to incur the obligations provided for therein, all of which have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.

               3. No order, consent, permit or approval of any California or U.S. federal governmental
authority that we have, in exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable
to the Company or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement, is required
on the part of the Company for the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its
obligations under, the Credit Agreement and the Notes except as have been obtained or as may be
obtained in the ordinary course of business.

               4. The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

               5. Each of the Credit Agreement and the Notes (if any) constitutes the legally valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation,
fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation,
concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible
unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

               6. The execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement and the Notes by the Company do not, and
the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes will not (i)
violate the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (ii) violate, breach or result in a
default under any existing obligation of or restriction on the Company under any of the agreements,
instruments, contracts, orders, injunctions or judgments (the “Other Agreements”) identified to us
in an officer’s certificate of the Company (a copy of which is being delivered to you concurrently
herewith) as agreements, instruments, contracts, orders, injunctions or judgments binding on the
Company or by which its assets are bound which have provisions limiting or impacted by the issuance
by the Company of debt and which the violation or breach of or default under would have a Material
Adverse Effect. We express no opinion as to the effect of the Company’s performance of its
obligations in the Credit Agreement (and the Notes) with respect to the Company’s compliance with
financial covenants in the Other Agreements.

               7. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes do not, and
the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes will not,
violate any current California, New York or U.S. federal statute, rule or regulation that we have
in the exercise of customary professional due diligence recognized as

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

 

 

-3-

applicable to the Company or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit
Agreement.

               8. The making of the Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof as provided in the Credit
Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that none of the Banks is a “creditor” as
defined in Regulation T.

               9. The Company is not an “investment company” required to register under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

               Our opinion in paragraph 5 above as to the enforceability of the Credit Agreement and the
Notes is subject to:

(i) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of broadly or vaguely stated
waivers or waivers of rights granted by law where the waivers are against public
policy or prohibited by law; and

(ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions appointing one
party as attorney-in-fact or trustee for an adverse party.

               We express no opinion as to any provision of the Credit Agreement insofar as it purports to
grant a right of setoff in respect of any Party’s assets to any person other than a creditor of
such Party.

               For purposes of the opinions expressed in paragraphs 3, 6 and 7, we have assumed that the
Company will not in the future take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act)
permitted by the Credit Agreement or the Notes that would cause the performance of the Credit
Agreement or the Company’s obligations under the Notes to violate any California, New York or U.S.
federal statute, rule or regulation, constitute a violation or breach of or default under any of
the agreements, instruments, contracts, orders, injunctions, judgments or decrees referred to in
paragraph 6 or require an order, consent, permit or approval to be obtained from a California, New
York or U.S. federal governmental authority.

               We express no opinion concerning (i) federal or state securities laws or regulations, (ii)
federal or state antitrust, unfair competition or trade practice laws or regulations, (iii) pension
and employee benefit laws and regulations, (iv) compliance with fiduciary requirements, (v) federal
or state environmental laws and regulations, (vi) federal or state land use or subdivision laws or
regulations or (vii) federal or state laws and regulations concerning filing requirements, other
than requirements applicable to charter-related documents.

               In addition, we call your attention to the fact that the California Supreme Court in
Grafton Partners v. Superior Court, 36 Cal. 4th 944 (2005), recently held that, under
California law, pre-dispute waivers of the right to trial by jury are unenforceable. Although the
Credit Agreement and the Notes each state that it is governed by the laws of the State of New York,
a California court may not enforce the choice of New York law with respect to the waiver of the
right to trial by jury in the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

 

 

-4-

or not the waiver of such right would be given effect by a California court.

               The law covered by this opinion is limited to the present federal law of the United States and
the present laws of the State of California, and for the purposes of paragraphs 5 and 7, the
present laws of the State of New York. Our opinions rendered in paragraphs 3 and 7 above are based
upon our review only of those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are
normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Notes.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the
statutes, administrative decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any county, municipality,
subdivision or local authority of any jurisdiction.

               In rendering our opinions in paragraph 3 above, we have assumed that each Bank is a
sophisticated financial institution capable of evaluating the merits and risks relating to the
Credit Agreement and the Notes, and that each Bank has been provided access to such information
relating to the Company as such Bank has requested.

               Except as expressly set forth in paragraph 8 above, we are not expressing any opinion as to
the effect of the Agent’s or any Bank’s compliance with any state or federal laws or regulations
applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Company because of the nature of the Agent’s or
any Bank’s business.

               This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Company’s execution and delivery of
the Credit Agreement, is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your successors and assigns,
and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person, without our prior
written consent. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no
opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. We assume no obligation to
update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date
of this opinion and come to our attention, or any future changes in laws.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Respectfully submitted,

FORM OF THE OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE COMPANY

October 14, 2005

To the Banks and the Agent
  
Referred to Below

c/o Citicorp USA, Inc.

2 Penns Way, Suite 200

New Castle, Delaware 19720

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          I am General Counsel for International Lease Finance Corporation (the “Company”) and
am rendering this opinion in connection with the $2,000,000,000 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement
dated as of October 14, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, those
certain financial institutions signatory thereto (the “Banks”) and Citicorp USA, Inc., in
its individual capacity and as administrative agent (the “Agent”). Terms used herein
without definition have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

          I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction as
being true copies, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other
instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary
or advisable for purposes of this opinion. I am opining herein as to the effect on the subject
transactions of only United States of America federal law and the laws of the State of California.

          Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

          1. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its property or
the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified; provided, however, that
the Company may not be so qualified in certain jurisdictions, the effect of which would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

          2. To the best of my knowledge, Aircraft SPC-3, Inc.; Aircraft SPC-4, Inc.; Aircraft SPC-8
Inc.; Aircraft SPC-9, Inc.; Aircraft SPC-11, Inc.; Aircraft SPC-12, Inc.; Aircraft SPC-14, Inc.;
Euclid Aircraft, Inc.; ILFC Aircraft Holding Corporation; ILFC Aviation Consulting, Inc.;
Interlease Aircraft Trading Corporation; Interlease Aviation Corporation; Interlease Management
Corporation; Platypus Leasing, Inc.; ILFC Dover Inc.; CABREA, Inc. and ILFC Volare, Inc., (all
wholly owned subsidiaries of Aircraft SPC-3, Inc.); ILFC Rhino I LLC; and ILFC Rhino II LLC (a
wholly owned subsidiary of ILFC Rhino I LLC) are the only domestic subsidiaries of the Company.

          3. Excluding Sierra Leasing Limited, no subsidiary of the Company nor all of the subsidiaries
of the Company taken as a whole is a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation
S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

          4. To the best of my knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding
before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Company’s execution and delivery of
the Credit Agreement, is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your successors and assigns,
and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person without my prior
written consent. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and I render no
opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. I assume no obligation to
update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date
of this opinion and come to my attention, or any future changes in laws.

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

          AGREEMENT dated as of                                         ,                      between [ASSIGNOR] (the “Assignor”) and
[ASSIGNEE] (the “Assignee”).

W I T N E S S E T H

          WHEREAS, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) relates to the
$2,000,000,000 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of October 14, 2005 (the “Credit
Agreement”) among International Lease Finance Corporation (the “Company”), the Assignor

and certain financial institutions referred to therein;

          WHEREAS, as provided under the Credit Agreement, the Assignor has a Commitment to make
Committed Loans in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $                    ;

          WHEREAS, Committed Loans and Bid Loans made by the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in the
respective aggregate principal amounts of $                     and $                     are outstanding at the
date hereof; and

          WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor
under the Credit Agreement in respect of a portion of its Commitment thereunder in an amount equal
to $           **           (the “Assigned Amount”), together with $           *          
aggregate principal amount outstanding of Committed Loans and $           **           aggregate

extent of the Assigned Amount and the Assigned Loans. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by
the Assignor, the Assignee, the Company and the Agent and the payment of the amounts specified in
Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the Assignee shall, as of the date hereof,
succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a Bank under the Credit
Agreement with a Commitment in an amount equal to the Assigned Amount, and (ii) the Commitment of
the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor released

          SECTION 3. Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in
Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the date hereof in Federal funds an
amount equal to $           *          . It is understood that facility fees accrued to the date hereof are

it shall receive the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such other party’s
interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.

          SECTION 4. Consent of the Company and the Agent. This Agreement is conditioned upon
the consent of the Company and the Agent pursuant to Section 13.4.1of the Credit Agreement. The

payable to the order of the Assignee and evidencing the assignment and assumption provided for
herein, if so requested. If so requested, the Company also agrees to execute replacement Notes in
favor of the Assignor if the Assignor has retained any Commitment.

warranty in connection with, and shall have no responsibility with respect to, the solvency,
financial condition, or statements of the Company, or the validity and enforceability of the
obligations of the Company in respect of the Credit Agreement or any Note. The Assignee
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent
appraisal of the business, affairs and financial condition of the Company.

          SECTION 6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
