================================================================================

     AMOUNT OF GUARANTY. THE AMOUNT OF THIS GUARANTY IS UNLIMITED.

     CONTINUING UNLIMITED GUARANTY. FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION,
     RAMENDRA P SINGH ("GUARANTOR") ABSOLUTELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEES
     AND PROMISES TO PAY TO FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF FLORIDA ("LENDER") OR ITS
     ORDER, ON DEMAND, IN LEGAL TENDER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE
     INDEBTEDNESS (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED BELOW) OF DYNACS INC, A DELAWARE
     CORPORATION, AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN FLORIDA AS DYNACS WORLDWIDE, INC
     ("BORROWER") TO LENDER ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS
     GUARANTY. UNDER THIS GUARANTY, THE LIABILITY OF GUARANTOR IS UNLIMITED AND
     THE OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR ARE CONTINUING.

     INDEBTEDNESS GUARANTEED. The indebtedness guaranteed by this Guaranty
     includes any and all of Borrower indebtedness to Lender and is used in the
     most comprehensive sense and means and includes any and all of Borrower's
     liabilities, obligations and debts to Lender, now existing or hereinafter
     incurred or created, including, without limitation, all loans, advances,
     interest, costs, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit card indebtedness,
     lease obligations, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower, or any
     of them, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, or any of
     them; and whether any such indebtedness is voluntarily or involuntarily
     incurred, due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or
     unliquidated, determined or undetermined; whether Borrower may be liable
     individually or jointly with others, or primarily or secondarily, or as
     guarantor or surety; whether recovery on the indebtedness may be or may
     become barred or unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever;
     and whether the indebtedness arises from transactions which may be
     voidable on account of infancy, insanity, ultra vires, or otherwise.

     DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by
     Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to
     Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all
     indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by Lender of any notice
     of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all
     Guarantor's other obligations under this Guaranty shall have been performed
     in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may
     only do so in writing. Guarantor's written notice of revocation must be
     mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Lender's address listed above or
     such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of
     this Guaranty will apply only to advances or new indebtedness created after
     actual receipt by Lender of Guarantor's written revocation. For this
     purpose and without limitation, the term "new indebtedness" does not
     include indebtedness which at the time of notice of revocation is
     contingent, unliquidated, undetermined or not due and which later becomes
     absolute, liquidated, determined or due. This Guaranty will continue to
     bind Guarantor for all indebtedness incurred by Borrower or committed by
     Lender prior to receipt of Guarantor's written notice of revocation,
     including any extensions, renewals, substitutions or modifications of the
     indebtedness. All renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of
     the indebtedness granted after Guarantor's revocation, are contemplated
     under this Guaranty and, specifically will not be considered to be new
     indebtedness. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantor's estate as to
     indebtedness created both before and after Guarantor's death or incapacity,
     regardless of Lender's actual notice of Guarantor's death. Subject to the
     foregoing, Guarantor's executor or administrator or other legal
     representative may terminate this Guaranty in the same manner in which
     Guarantor might have terminated it and with the same effect.  Release of
     any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of the
     indebtedness shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this
     Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from any one or more Guarantors
     shall not affect the liability of any remaining Guarantors under this
     Guaranty. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT FLUCTUATIONS MAY OCCUR IN THE AGGREGATE
     AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS COVERED BY THIS GUARANTY, AND GUARANTOR SPECIFICALLY
     ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT REDUCTIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS, EVEN
     TO ZERO DOLLARS ($0.00), PRIOR TO GUARANTOR'S WRITTEN REVOCATION OF THIS
     GUARANTY SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY. THIS GUARANTY
     IS BINDING UPON GUARANTOR AND GUARANTOR'S HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SO
     LONG AS ANY OF THE GUARANTEED INDEBTEDNESS REMAINS UNPAID AND EVEN THOUGH
     THE INDEBTEDNESS GUARANTEED MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE ZERO DOLLARS ($0.00).

     GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender, either
     before or after any revocation hereof, WITHOUT NOTICE OR DEMAND AND
     WITHOUT LESSENING GUARANTOR'S LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY, FROM TIME TO
     TIME: (A) prior to revocation as set forth above, to make one or more
     additional secured or unsecured loans to Borrower, to lease equipment or
     other goods to Borrower, or otherwise to extend additional credit to
     Borrower; (B) to alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or
     otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of
     the indebtedness or any part of the indebtedness, including increases and
     decreases of the rate of interest on the indebtedness; extensions may be
     repeated and may be for longer than the original loan term; (C) to take
     and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the indebtedness,
     and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect,
     and release any such security, with or without the substitution of new
     collateral; (D) to release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any
     one or more of Borrower's sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any
     terms or in any manner Lender may choose; (E) to determine how, when and
     what application of payments and credits shall be made on the indebtedness
     (F) to apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof,
     including without limitation, any nonjudicial sale permitted by the terms
     of the controlling security agreement or deed of trust, as Lender in its
     discretion may determine; (G) to sell, transfer, assign or grant
     participations in all or any part of the indebtedness; and (H)
     to assign or transfer this Guaranty in whole or in part.

     GUARANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor represents and
     warrants to Lender that (A) no representations or agreements of any kind
     have been made to Guarantor which would limit or qualify in any way the
     terms of this Guaranty; (B) this Guaranty is executed at Borrower's
     request and not at the request of Lender; (C) Guarantor has full power,
     right and authority to enter into this Guaranty; (D) the provisions of
     this Guaranty do not conflict with or result in a default under any
     agreement or other instrument binding upon Guarantor and do not result in
     a violation of any law, regulation, court decree or order applicable to
     Guarantor; (E) Guarantor has not and will not, without the prior written
     consent of Lender, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer,
     or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Guarantor's assets, or
     any interest therein; (F) upon Lender's request, Guarantor will provide to
     Lender financial and credit information in form acceptable to Lender, and
     all such financial information which currently has been, and all future
     financial information which will be provided Lender is and will be true
     and correct in all material respects and fairly present Guarantor's
     financial condition as of the dates the financial information is provided;
     (G) no material adverse change has occurred in Guarantor's financial
     condition since the date of the most recent financial statements provided
     to Lender and no event has occurred which may materially adversely affect
     Guarantor's financial condition; (H) no litigation, claim, investigation,
     administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid
     taxes) against Guarantor is pending or threatened; (I) Lender has made no
     representation to Guarantor as to the creditworthiness of Borrower; and
     (J) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower on
     a continuing basis information regarding Borrower's financial condition.
     Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts,
     events, or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor's risks
     under this Guaranty, and Guarantor further agrees that, absent a request
     for information, Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor
     any information or documents acquired by Lender in the course of its
     relationship with Borrower.

     GUARANTOR'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Guarantor agrees to furnish Lender with
     the following:

          (A) ANNUAL STATEMENTS. As soon as available after the end of each
          fiscal year, Guarantor's balance sheet and income statement for the
          year ended, prepared by Guarantor in form satisfactory to Lender.

          (B) TAX RETURNS. As soon as available after the applicable filing date
          for the tax reporting period ended, Federal and other governmental tax
          returns, prepared by a tax professional satisfactory to Lender.

     All financial reports required to be provided under this Guaranty shall
     be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, and
     certified by Guarantor as being true and correct.

     GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor
     waives any right to require Lender (A) to continue lending money or to
     extend other credit to Borrower; (B) to make any presentment, protest,
     demand, or notice of any kind, including notice of any nonpayment of the
     indebtedness or of any nonpayment related to any collateral, or notice of
     any action or nonaction on the part of Borrower, Lender, any surety,
     endorser, or other guarantor in connection with the indebtedness or in
     connection with the creation of new or additional loans or obligations; (C)
     to resort for payment or to proceed directly or at once against any person,
     including Borrower or any other guarantor; (D) to proceed directly against
     or exhaust any collateral held by Lender from Borrower, any other
     guarantor, or any other person; (E) (F) to pursue any other remedy within
     Lender's power; or (G) to commit any act or omission of any kind, or at any
     time, with respect to any matter whatsoever.

     In addition to the waivers set forth above, if now or hereafter Borrower is
     or shall become insolvent and the indebtedness shall not at all times until
     paid be fully secured by collateral pledged by Borrower, Guarantor hereby
     forever waives and gives up in favor of Lender and Borrower, and Lender's
     and Borrower's respective successors, any claim or right to payment
     Guarantor may now have or hereafter have or acquire against Borrower, by
     subrogation or otherwise, so that at no time shall Guarantor be or become a
     "creditor" of Borrower within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. section 547(b), or
     any successor provision of the Federal bankruptcy laws.

                                   (CONTINUED)
================================================================================

Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (A)
any "one action" or "anti-deficiency" law or any other law which may prevent
Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against
Guarantor, before or after Lender's commencement or completion of any
foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (B) any
election of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects
Guarantor's subrogation rights or Guarantor's rights to proceed against Borrower
for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor
may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the
indebtedness; (C) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other
guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower's
liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender,
of the indebtedness; (D) any right to claim discharge of the indebtedness on the
basis or unjustified impairment of any collateral for the indebtedness; (E) any
statute of limitations, if at any time any action or suit brought by Lender
against Guarantor is commenced there is outstanding indebtedness of Borrower to
Lender which is not barred by any applicable statute of limitations; or (F) any
defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and
performance of the indebtedness. If payment is made by Borrower, whether
voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third party, on the indebtedness and
thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that payment to Borrower's
trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any federal or state
bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, the indebtedness shall be
considered unpaid for the purpose of the enforcement of this Guaranty.

Guarantor further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any
deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff,
counterclaim, counter demand, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim,
demand or right may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.

GUARANTOR'S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS. Guarantor warrants and agrees
that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor's full knowledge
of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the
waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such
waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such
waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Guarantor grants to Lender a contractual security interest in
all Guarantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other
account). This includes all accounts Guarantor holds jointly with someone else
and all accounts Guarantor may open in the future. However, this does not
include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which the grant of
a security interest would be prohibited by law. Guarantor authorizes Lender, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, to hold these funds if there is a
default, and Lender may apply the funds in these accounts to pay what Guarantor
owes under the terms of this Guaranty.

SUBORDINATION OF BORROWER'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that the
indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter created,
shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire
against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor hereby
expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any
account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have against
Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation of the assets of
Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by
voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the
payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be to Lender and
shall be first applied by Lender to the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender.
Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which it may have or acquire
against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower
provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose
of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the indebtedness. If
Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing
any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend
that the same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender.
Guarantor agrees, and Lender is hereby authorized, in the name of Guarantor,
from time to time to execute and file financing statements and continuation
statements and to execute such other documents and to take such other actions as
Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its
rights under this Guaranty.

GARNISHMENT. Guarantor consents to the issuance of a continuing writ of
garnishment or attachment against Guarantor's disposable earnings, in accordance
with Section 222.11, Florida Statutes, in order to satisfy, in whole or in part,
any money judgment entered in favor of Lender.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Guaranty:

     AMENDMENTS. This Guaranty, together with any Related Documents, constitutes
     the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set
     forth in this Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty
     shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or
     parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

     ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Guarantor agrees to pay upon demand all of
     Lender's costs and expenses, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees
     and Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement
     of this Guaranty. Costs and expenses include Lender's reasonable
     attorneys' fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit,
     including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy
     proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
     injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection
     services. Guarantor also shall pay all court costs and such additional
     fees as may be directed by the court.

     CAPTION HEADINGS. Caption headings in this Guaranty are for convenience
     purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
     of this Guaranty.

     GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY WILL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
     ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THIS
     GUARANTY HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

     CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Guarantor agrees upon Lender's
     request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Pinellas County,
     State of Florida.

     INTEGRATION. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor has read and fully
     understands the terms of this Guaranty; Guarantor has had the opportunity
     to be advised by Guarantor's attorney with respect to this Guaranty; the
     Guaranty fully reflects Guarantor's intentions and parol evidence is not
     required to interpret the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby
     indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from all losses, claims, damages, and
     costs (including Lender's attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by Lender
     as a result of any breach by Guarantor of the warranties, representations
     and agreements of this paragraph.

     INTERPRETATION. In all cases where there is more than one Borrower or
     Guarantor, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall be
     deemed to have been used in the plural where the context and construction
     so require; and where there is more than one Borrower named in this
     Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, the
     words "Borrower" and "Guarantor" respectively shall mean all and any one
     or more of them. The words "Guarantor," "Borrower," and "Lender" include
     the heirs, successors, assigns, and transferees of each of them. If a
     court finds that any provision of this is not valid or should not be
     enforced, that fact by itself will not mean that the rest of this Guaranty
     will not be valid or enforced. Therefore, a court will enforce the rest of
     the provisions of this Guaranty even if a provision of this Guaranty may
     be found to be invalid or unenforceable. If any one or more of Borrower or
     Guarantor are corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or
     similar entities, it is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the
     powers of Borrower or Guarantor or of the officers, directors, partners,
     managers, or other agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and
     any Loan indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed
     exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Guaranty.

     NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Guaranty shall be
     given in writing, and, except for revocation notices by Guarantor, shall
     be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by
     telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a
     nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in
     the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail
     postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of
     this Guaranty. All revocation notices by Guarantor shall be in writing and
     shall be effective upon delivery to Lender as provided in the section of
     this Guaranty entitled "DURATION OF GUARANTY." Any party may change its
     address for notices under this Guaranty by giving written notice to the
     other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the
     party's address. For notice purposes, Guarantor agrees to keep Lender
     informed at all times of Guarantor's current address. Unless otherwise
     provided or required by law, if there is more than one Guarantor, any
     notice given by Lender to any Guarantor is deemed to be notice given to
     all Guarantors.

     NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights
     under this Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by
     Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right
     shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by
     Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or constitute a
     waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
     provision or any other provision of this Guaranty. No prior waiver by
     Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Guarantor, shall
     constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Guarantor's
     obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender
     is required under this Guaranty, the granting of such consent by Lender in
     any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
     instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may
     be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to any limitations stated in this Guaranty
     on transfer of Guarantor's interest, this Guaranty shall be binding upon
     and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.

     WAIVE JURY. Lender and Guarantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial
     in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or
     Borrower against the other.

DEFINITIONS. The following capitalized words and terms shall have the following
meanings when used in this Guaranty. Unless specifically stated to the
contrary, all references to dollar amounts shall mean amounts in lawful money
of the United States of America. Words and terms used in the singular shall
include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular, as the context
may require. Words and terms not otherwise defined in this

STATE OF GEORGIA
COUNTY OF CLAYTON

    Before me, the undersigned, a Notary Public in and for the State aforesaid,
personally appeared Trish Johnston, Assistant Vice President of First National

of this definition until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any
change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate

States (or any successor).

		
	 	      “Borrowing”: a group of Loans of a single Type made by the Lenders (or, in the

aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans then outstanding constitutes of the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding).

		
	 	      “Commitment Period”: the period from and including the date hereof to but not
including the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Commitments shall
terminate as provided herein.

upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or, in the absence of such agreement,
the “Eurodollar Rate” shall instead be the rate per annum equal to the average (rounded
upward to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) of the respective rates notified to the Administrative

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE FACILITIES

      2.1 Revolving Credit
Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans
(“Revolving Credit Loans”)
to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal
amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Commitments by
borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, in no event (after giving effect to the use of proceeds of any
Borrowing) shall (i) the amount of any Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a Borrowing of
Revolving Credit Loans exceed such Lender’s Available Commitment at the time of such

12

Borrowing or (ii) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Competitive Loans at any
one time outstanding exceed the aggregate Commitments then in effect of all Lenders.

      (b) The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar
Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified
to the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsections 2.2 and 2.6.

      2.2 Procedure for Revolving
Credit Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow
Revolving Credit Loans under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business
Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time,
(a) three Business Days prior to the requested borrowing date, if all or any part of the requested
Revolving Credit Loans are to be Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one Business Day prior to the
requested borrowing date, otherwise), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested
borrowing date, (iii) whether the Borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a
combination thereof and (iv) if the Borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the
respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest
Periods therefor. Each Borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to
$10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender
will make the amount of its pro rata share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in
subsection 9.2 prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the borrowing date requested by the
Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such Borrowing will then
immediately be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the
account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made
available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent.

      2.3 Competitive Borrowings.

      (a) The Competitive Bid Option. In addition to the Revolving Credit Loans
which may be made available pursuant to subsection 2.1, the Borrower may, as set forth in this
subsection 2.3, request the Lenders to make offers to make Competitive Loans to the Borrower
during the Commitment Period. The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such
offers, and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the
manner set forth in this subsection 2.3.

      (b) Competitive Bid Request. When the Borrower wishes to request offers to
make Competitive Loans under this subsection 2.3, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent
a Competitive Bid Request to be received no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on (x)
the fourth Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or (y) the Business Day immediately preceding the
date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, specifying:

13

		
	 	      (i) the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day,

		
	 	      (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, which shall be

Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans.

A Competitive Bid Request that does not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit A may
be rejected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower of such rejection. The Borrower may request offers to make
Competitive Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Competitive Bid Request. No
Competitive Bid Request shall be given within three Business Days of any other Competitive Bid
Request pursuant to which the Borrower has made a Competitive Borrowing.

      (c) Invitation for Competitive Bids. Promptly after its receipt of a Competitive
Bid Request (but, in any event, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date of such
receipt) conforming to the requirements of paragraph (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall
send to each of the Competitive Bid Lenders an Invitation for Competitive Bids which shall
constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each such Lender to bid, on the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, to make Competitive Loans pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request.

      (d) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bids. (i) Each Lender to which an
Invitation for Competitive Bids is sent may submit a Competitive Bid containing an offer or
offers to make Competitive Loans in response to such Invitation for Competitive Bids. Each
Competitive Bid must comply with the requirements of this paragraph (d) and must be submitted

case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or (y) 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on
the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing; provided that any
Competitive Bids submitted by the Administrative Agent in the capacity of a Lender may only be
submitted if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers
contained therein not later than fifteen minutes prior to the deadline for the other Lenders. A
Competitive Bid submitted by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable.

      (ii) Each Competitive Bid shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C and
shall specify:

		
	 	      (A) the date of the proposed Borrowing,

		
	 	      (B) the principal amount of the Competitive Loan for which each such offer is
being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than, equal to or less than the

14

		
	 	Commitment of the quoting Lender, (x) must be in a minimum principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) may not exceed the
principal amount of Competitive Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be

increments of 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate,

		
	 	      (D) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the rate of interest per annum
(specified in increments of 1/10,000th of 1%) offered for each such Competitive Loan,
and

		
	 	      (E) the identity of the quoting Lender.

A Competitive Bid may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Lender with respect to
each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Competitive Bids. Any Competitive
Bid shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent determines that
it: (A) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit C or does not specify all of the information
required by subsection 2.3(d)(ii); (B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language (except
for a limitation on the maximum principal amount which may be accepted); (C) proposes terms
other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bids or (D)
arrives after the time set forth in subsection 2.3(d)(i).

      (e) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and, in any
event, by 10:00 A.M., New York City time) notify the Borrower, by telecopy, of all the
Competitive Bids made (including all disregarded bids), the Competitive Bid Rate and the
principal amount of each Competitive Loan in respect of which a Competitive Bid was made and
the identity of the Lender that made each bid. The Administrative Agent shall send a copy of all
Competitive Bids (including all disregarded bids) to the Borrower for its records as soon as
practicable after completion of the bidding process set forth in this subsection 2.3.

      (f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. The Borrower may in its sole discretion,
subject only to the provisions of this paragraph (f), accept or reject any Competitive Bid (other
than any disregarded bid) referred to in paragraph (e) above. The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed immediately thereafter by telecopy in the form of
a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter, whether and to what extent it wishes to accept any or all
of the bids referred to in paragraph (e) above not later than (x) 10:30 A.M. (New York City time)
on the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive
Eurodollar Borrowing or (y) 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of
Borrowing, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing; provided that:

		
	 	      (i) the failure by the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a
rejection of all the bids referred to in paragraph (e) above;

15

		
	 	      (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the
Borrower may not exceed the lesser of (A) the principal amount set forth in the related
Competitive Bid Request and (B) the excess, if any, of the aggregate Commitments of all
Lenders then in effect over the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding
immediately prior to the making of such Competitive Loans (and after giving effect to the
use of proceeds thereof),

		
	 	      (iii) the principal amount of each Competitive Borrowing must be $5,000,000
or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,

		
	 	      (iv) unless there are any limitations contained in a quoting Lender’s
Competitive Bid, the Borrower may not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular
Competitive Bid Rate if it has decided to reject any portion of a bid made at a lower
Competitive Bid Rate for the same Interest Period, and

		
	 	      (v) the Borrower may not accept any Competitive Bid that is disregarded by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3(d)(ii) or that otherwise fails to
comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall be irrevocable.

      (g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more
Lenders with the same Competitive Bid Rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the
amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal
amount of Competitive Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by
the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in integral multiples of
$1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate
principal amounts of such offers.

      (h) Notification of Acceptance. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and,
in any event, by 11:00 A.M., New York City time) notify each bidding Lender whether or not its
Competitive Bid has been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid
Rate), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the other applicable
conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its bid has been accepted.

      2.4 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the
right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the
Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the Commitments; provided that any termination
or reduction of the Commitments that would reduce the Commitments below the aggregate
amount of the Loans then outstanding, shall be accompanied by a concurrent prepayment of the
Loans which may be made on a non-pro rata basis among the Lenders in the amount necessary to
reduce such Loans to an amount that does not exceed the Commitments as so reduced. Any such
reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof (or if the Commitments are less than $10,000,000, such lesser amount) and shall reduce
permanently the Commitments then in effect. Termination and reduction of the Commitments

16

may be made on a non-pro rata basis among the Lenders; provided, that (a) after giving effect to
such termination or reduction, no Lender shall have a Commitment hereunder in excess of 15%
of the aggregate Commitments (as so reduced), (b) no Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (c) the Loans outstanding shall not exceed the amount of the
reduced amount of the Commitments.

      2.5 Prepayments. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay
the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to the
provisions of subsection 2.17), upon at least two Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the
prepayment is of Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and,
if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together
with any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.17. Partial prepayments shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

      2.6 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time
to time to convert Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans to ABR Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election;
provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans may only be made on
the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time
to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans by giving the Administrative Agent
at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of
conversion to Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest
Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Revolving
Credit Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan
may be converted into a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan when any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Revolving Credit
Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date.

      (b) Any Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans may be continued as such upon the
expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice
to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest
Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to
such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan may be continued as such (i)
when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) after the date that is one month
prior to the Termination Date and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any
required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted
pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans shall be automatically
converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.

      2.7 Minimum Amounts of Eurodollar Borrowings. All borrowings, conversions
and continuations of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods
hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be equal to $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
and so that there shall not be more than 20 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding at any one time.

      2.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to each Lender (i) on the Termination Date (or such earlier date
as the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7 or subsection 2.5), the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender; provided, that, at the Borrower’s option
any Loans outstanding on the Termination Date shall be due and payable in full on the date
which is two years following the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Loans become due
and payable pursuant to Section 7 or subsection 2.5) and (ii) on the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made by such Lender.
The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds at the office of
the Administrative Agent on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time from
the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in
subsection 2.9.

      (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such
Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

      (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection
9.6(d), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together)
shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount
of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s
share thereof.

      (d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subsection 2.8 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein
recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall
not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the
Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

      2.9 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the ABR.

18

      (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of each Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan, the Eurodollar Rate
for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) in the
case of each Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect
for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as the case may be) the Margin offered by the Lender making
such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 2.3.

      (c) Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the fixed
rate of interest offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant
to subsection 2.3.

      (d) Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, interest shall be payable
in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (f)
of this subsection 2.9 shall be payable from time to time on demand. The amount of interest on
Revolving Credit Loans to be paid on any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount which
would be due and payable if the Utilization for the period for which such interest is paid was less
than 33%. On the first Business Day following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower
and on the Termination Date (or, if earlier, on the date upon which both the Commitments are
terminated and the Loans are paid in full), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, an additional amount of interest equal to the difference (if
any) between (i) the amount of interest which would have been payable during such fiscal quarter
(or, in the case of the payment due on the Termination Date, the portion thereof ending on such
date) after giving effect to the actual Utilization during such period and (ii) the amount of interest
which actually was paid during such period.

      (e) The “Applicable Margin” with respect to each Revolving Credit Loan at any
date shall be the applicable percentage amount set forth in the table below based upon the Type
of such Loan and the Utilization and Status on such date:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
				Level I		Level II		Level III		Level IV		Level V
				Status		Status		Status		Status		Status
				
		
		
		
		

	If Utilization is less than
33%:
	
	
	
	

		Eurodollar Loans			0.3200	%			0.3850	%			0.4500	%			0.6250	%			0.7000	%
	
	
	
	

		ABR Loans			0	%			0	%			0	%			0	%			0	%
	
	
	
	

	If Utilization is equal to
or greater than 33%:
	
	
	
	

		Eurodollar Loans			0.4450	%			0.5100	%			0.5750	%			0.6250	%			0.7000	%
	
	
	
	

		ABR Loans			0	%			0	%			0	%			0	%			0	%

      (f) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest
payable thereon or (iii) any facility fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when
due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall

19

bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would
otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.9 plus
2% or (y) in the case of overdue interest, facility fee or other amount, the rate described in
paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.9 plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment
until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). For purposes of this
Agreement, principal shall be “overdue” only if not paid in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 2.8.

      2.10 Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable account of the Lenders, a facility fee at the rate per annum equal to (a) for each day that
the Borrower has Level I Status, 0.0800% of the aggregate Commitments prior to the
Termination Date and 0.0800% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans
thereafter on such day, (b) for each day that the Borrower has Level II Status, 0.0900% of the
aggregate Commitments prior to the Termination Date and 0.0900% of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans thereafter, (c) for each day that the Borrower has Level III Status,
0.1000% of the aggregate Commitments prior to the Termination Date and 0.1000% of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans thereafter, (d) for each day that the
Borrower has Level IV Status, 0.1250% of the aggregate Commitments prior to the Termination
Date and 0.1250% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans thereafter and (e)
for each day that the Borrower has Level V Status, 0.1750% of the aggregate Commitments prior
to the Termination Date and 0.1750% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans
thereafter. On the first Business Day following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower
and on the Termination Date (or, if earlier, on the date upon which both the Commitments are
terminated and the Loans are paid in full), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the portion of such facility fee which accrued during the
fiscal quarter most recently ended (or, in the case of the payment due on the Termination Date,
the portion thereof ending on such date). Such facility fee shall be based upon the aggregate
Commitments of the Lenders from time to time, regardless of the Utilization from time to time
thereunder.

      2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest on all Loans shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, on any
date when the ABR is determined by reference to the Prime Rate, a year of 365 or 366 days as
appropriate (in each case including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination
of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year composed of twelve 30-day months. At any time
and from time to time upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to
the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Agreement.
Each change in the Applicable Margin applicable to Loans or the Facility Fee as a result of a
change in the Borrower’s Status shall become effective on the date upon which such change in
Status occurs.

20

      (b) If any Reference Lender shall for any reason no longer have a Commitment,
such Reference Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Reference Lender, and if, as a result thereof,
there shall only be one Reference Lender remaining, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(after consultation with the Lenders) shall, by notice to the Lenders, designate another Lender as
a Reference Lender so that there shall at all times be at least two Reference Lenders.

      (c) Each Reference Lender shall use its best efforts to furnish quotations of rates
to the Administrative Agent as contemplated hereby. If any of the Reference Lenders shall be
unable or shall otherwise fail to supply such rates to the Administrative Agent upon its request,
the rate of interest shall, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.12, be determined on the basis
of the quotations of the remaining Reference Lenders.

      2.12 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If the Eurodollar Rate cannot be
determined by the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in the definition of the term
“Eurodollar Rate” contained in subsection 1.1 of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall
give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable
thereafter. Until such time as the Eurodollar Rate can be determined by the Administrative
Agent in the manner specified in the definition of such term contained in said subsection 1.1, no
further Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as such at the end of the then current Interest Period
or (other than any Eurodollar Loans previously requested and with respect to which the
Eurodollar Rate previously was determined) shall be made, nor shall the Borrower have the right
to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

      2.13 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Credit
Loans from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any facility fee
hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the
Lenders. Reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders may be made pro rata according to the
respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders or on a non-pro rata basis subject to the
requirements of subsection 2.4, at the option of the Borrower. Except as contemplated by
subsections 2.4 and 2.18(c), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on
account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then
held by the Lenders. Each payment by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on
any Borrowing of Competitive Loans shall be made pro rata among the Lenders participating in
such Borrowing according to the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Competitive
Loans comprising such Borrowing.

      (b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder,
whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date
thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Agent’s office
specified in subsection 9.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the failure by the Borrower to make a payment (or prepayment) prior to 12:00 Noon
on the due date thereof shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default if such payment is made
on such due date; provided, however, that any payment (or prepayment) made after such time on

21

such due date shall be deemed made on the next Business Day for the purposes of interest and
reimbursement calculations. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the
relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder
(other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with
respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar
month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

      (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any
Lender prior to the deadline for funding a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount
that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such
amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount
is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the borrowing date
therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period
until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts
owing under this subsection 2.13 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative
Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such borrowing date, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, on demand, from the Borrower.

      2.14 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or
any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make
it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this
Agreement, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
describing the relevant provisions of such Requirement of Law (and, if the Borrower shall so
request, provide the Borrower with a memorandum or opinion of counsel of recognized standing
(as selected by such Lender) as to such illegality), following which (a) the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert
ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then
outstanding as Eurodollar Loans (including, without limitation, such Lender’s Eurodollar
Competitive Loans in the case of clause (ii) below), if any, shall be converted automatically to
ABR Loans (i) on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such
Loans or (ii) within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a
Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with
respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to subsection 2.17.

22

      2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If (i) there shall be any increase in the cost to any
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans or (ii) any reduction in
any amount receivable in respect thereof, and such increased cost or reduced amount receivable
is due to either:

		
	 	      (x) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation after the date hereof; or

		
	 	      (y) the compliance with any guideline or request made after the date hereof from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law),

then (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.18) the Borrower shall from time to time, upon
demand by such Lender pay such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

      (b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that (i) the applicability of any
law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the date hereof pursuant to or arising out of the
July 1988 paper of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices
entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or (ii) the
adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital
adequacy affecting such Lender, or (iii) any change arising after the date hereof in the foregoing
or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
(iv) compliance by such Lender (or any lending office of such Lender), or any holding company
for such Lender which is subject to any of the capital requirements described above, with any
request or directive of general application issued after the date hereof 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 such Lender’s capital or on
the capital of any such holding company as a direct consequence of such Lender’s obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or any such holding company could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s
policies and the policies of such holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.17) from
time to time such Lender may request the Borrower to pay to such Lender such additional
amounts as will compensate such Lender or any such holding company for any such reduction
suffered, net of the savings (if any) which may be reasonably projected to be associated with such
increased capital requirement. Any certificate as to such amounts which is delivered pursuant to
subsection 2.18(a) shall, in addition to any items required by subsection 2.18(a), include the
calculation of the savings (if any) which may be reasonably projected to be associated with such
increased capital requirement; provided that in no event shall any Lender be obligated to pay or
refund any amounts to the Borrower on account of such savings.

      (c) In the event that any Governmental Authority shall impose any Eurocurrency
Liabilities which increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans,

23

then (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.18) the Borrower shall thereafter pay in respect of
the Eurodollar Loans of such Lender a rate of interest based upon the Eurodollar Reserve Rate
(rather than upon the Eurodollar Rate). From and after the delivery to the Borrower of the
certificate required by subsection 2.18(a), all references contained in this Agreement to the
Eurodollar Rate shall be deemed to be references to the Eurodollar Reserve Rate with respect to
each such affected Lender.

      2.16 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall
be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present
or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes or any other tax based
upon net income imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or
former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the
Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent
or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment
under, or enforced, this Agreement). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so
payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes)
interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in or
pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is not organized under the laws of the
United States of America or a state thereof if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements
of paragraph (b) of this subsection 2.16. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the
Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent
for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an
original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails
to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to
the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a
result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 2.16 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

		
	 	      (b) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof shall:

		
	 	      (i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI,
or successor applicable form, as the case may be, and (B) an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, as the case may be;

24

		
	 	      (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further
copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

		
	 	      (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or
certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent;

unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from
duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify (i) in the case of a Form W-
8BEN or W-8ECI, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction
or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8BEN,
that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Person not
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof that is an Assignee
hereunder pursuant to subsection 9.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be
required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this subsection 2.16.

      2.17 Indemnity. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.18(a), the Borrower
agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or reasonable
expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower
in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of any Loan hereunder after the
Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given
a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans on a day which is not the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid,
or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or
of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced
on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided
for herein (excluding the Applicable Margin or Margin included therein) over (ii) the amount of
interest (as determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such
amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the
interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

      2.18 Notice of Amounts Payable; Relocation of Lending Office; Mandatory
Assignment. (a) In the event that any Lender becomes aware that any amounts are or will be
owed to it pursuant to subsection 2.14, 2.15, 2.16(a) or 2.17, then it shall promptly notify the
Borrower thereof and, as soon as possible thereafter, such Lender shall submit to the Borrower a

25

certificate indicating the amount owing to it and the calculation thereof. The amounts set forth in
such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder;
provided, however, that the failure of the Borrower to pay any amount owing to any Lender
pursuant to subsection 2.14, 2.15, 2.16(a) or 2.17 shall not be deemed to constitute a Default or
an Event of Default hereunder to the extent that the Borrower is contesting in good faith its
obligation to pay such amount by ongoing discussions diligently pursued with such Lender or by
appropriate proceedings.

      (b) If a Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to subsection
2.14, 2.15 or 2.16(a), it shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to avoid the need for paying such additional amounts, including changing the
jurisdiction of its applicable lending office, provided that the taking of any such action would
not, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

      (c) In the event that any Lender delivers to the Borrower a certificate in
accordance with subsection 2.18(a) (other than a certificate as to amounts payable pursuant to
subsection 2.17), or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts or other payments in
accordance with subsection 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16(a), the Borrower may, at its own expense and in its
sole discretion, (i) require such Lender to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, without recourse
(in accordance with subsection 9.6), all or part of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans) to another Person (provided that the
Borrower, with the full cooperation of such Lender, can identify a Person who is ready, willing
and able to be an Assignee with respect to thereto) which shall assume such assigned obligations
(which Assignee may be another Lender, if such Assignee Lender accepts such assignment) or
(ii) during such time as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, terminate
the Commitment of such Lender and prepay all outstanding Loans (other than Competitive
Loans) of such Lender; provided that (x) the Borrower or the Assignee, as the case may be, shall
have paid to such Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to
the date of such payment on the Loans (other than Competitive Loans) made by it hereunder and
(subject to subsection 2.17) all other amounts owed to it hereunder and (y) such assignment or
termination of the Commitment of such Lender and prepayment of Loans does not conflict with
any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or Governmental Authority.

      2.19 Commitment Increases. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may request from time to time that the Aggregate
Commitments be increased by an amount not less than $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$10,000,000 in excess thereof, provided that the Borrower may only request such an increase
once in any six-month period and in no event shall the Aggregate Commitments exceed
$2,000,000,000. Such increase in the Aggregate Commitments shall be effected as follows: the
Borrower may (i) request one or more of the Lenders to increase the amount of its Commitment
(which request shall be in writing and sent to the Administrative Agent to forward to such Lender
or Lenders) and/or (ii) arrange for one or more financial institutions not a party hereto (an “Other
Lender”) to become parties to and Lenders under this Agreement, provided that (x) the
Administrative Agent shall have approved such Other Lender, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and (y) after giving effect to such increase, no Lender shall have a

26

Commitment hereunder which exceeds an amount equal to 15% of the Aggregate Commitments.
In no event may any Lender’s Commitment be increased without the prior written consent of such
Lender, and the failure of any Lender to respond to the Borrower’s request for an increase shall be
deemed a rejection by such Lender of the Borrower’s request. The Aggregate Commitments may
not be increased if, at the time of any proposed increase hereunder, a Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing. Upon any request by the Borrower to increase the Aggregate
Commitments hereunder, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on
and as of the date of such request that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender
shall have any obligation whatsoever to increase the amount of its Commitment, and each Lender
may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.

      (b) If any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase the
amount of its Commitment hereunder (such a Lender hereinafter referred to as an “Increasing
Lender”), it shall enter into a written agreement to that effect with the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a “Commitment Increase
Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, the amount of the increased
Commitment of such Increasing Lender. Upon the effectiveness of such Increasing Lender’s
increase in Commitment, Schedule I hereto shall, without further action, be deemed to have been
amended as appropriate to reflect the increased Commitment of such Increasing Lender. Any
Other Lender which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which
consent, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not be unreasonably withheld), is willing
to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder, shall enter into a written agreement with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit I (an “Additional
Lender Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, its Commitment
hereunder. When such Other Lender becomes a Lender hereunder as set forth in the Additional
Lender Supplement, Schedule I shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as
appropriate to reflect the Commitment of such Other Lender. Upon the execution by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Other Lender of such Additional Lender
Supplement, such Other Lender shall become and be deemed a party hereto and a “Lender”
hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part
of the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, and its Commitment shall be the amount specified in
its Additional Lender Supplement. Each Other Lender which executes and delivers an
Additional Lender Supplement and becomes a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder pursuant to
such Additional Lender Supplement is hereinafter referred to as an “Additional Lender.”

      (c) In no event shall an increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of
an Other Lender become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate
from the Borrower, to the effect that the representations and warranties shall be true and correct
in all material respects and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Commitments resulting from the increase in
such Lender’s Commitment or the extension of a Commitment by such Other Lender. In no
event shall an increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of an Other Lender which
results in the Aggregate Commitments exceeding the amount which is authorized at such time in
resolutions previously delivered to the Administrative Agent become effective until the

27

Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee
of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing the borrowings contemplated pursuant to
such increase, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Borrower. Concurrently
with the execution by an Increasing Lender of a Commitment Increase Supplement or by an
Additional Lender of an Additional Lender Supplement, the Borrower shall make such
borrowing from such Increasing Lender or Additional Lender, and/or shall make such
prepayment of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, as shall be required to cause the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans owing to each Lender (including each
such Increasing Lender and Additional Lender) to be proportional to such Lender’s share of the
Aggregate Commitments after giving effect to any increase thereof. The Borrower agrees to
indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense incurred as a
result of any such prepayment in accordance with subsection 2.17, as applicable.

      (d) Upon any Lender entering into a Commitment Increase Supplement or any
Additional Lender becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent shall notify each other
Lender thereof and shall deliver to each Lender a copy of the Additional Lender Supplement
executed by such Additional Lender and the Commitment Increase Supplement executed by such
Increasing Lender.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement
and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent
and each Lender that:

      3.1 Financial Condition. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to each Lender a
copy of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999 and unaudited consolidated financial statements of
the Borrower for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2000. Such financial statements present
fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of, and for the fiscal years and fiscal quarters ended on, such dates in accordance
with GAAP (subject, in the case of such quarterly statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments). Other than as disclosed in the Borrower’s 10-K dated February 9, 2000, or in the
Confidential Information Memorandum, between December 31, 1999 and the Closing Date, there
has been no development or event which has had a Material Adverse Effect.

      3.2 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. The Borrower (a) is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate
its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the
laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except to the extent that all failures to be duly qualified and

28

in good standing could not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in
compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply
therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      3.3 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Borrower has
the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this
Agreement and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of any Governmental
Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with
the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower. This Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the
Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law).

      3.4 No Legal Bar; No Default. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Borrower and will not result in, or require,
the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except to the extent that all such violations and
creation or imposition of Liens could not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

      3.5 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before
any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their
respective properties or revenues as of the Closing Date (a) with respect to this Agreement or any
of the actions contemplated hereby, or (b) which involves a probable risk of an adverse decision
which would materially restrict the ability of the Borrower to comply with its obligations under
this Agreement.

      3.6 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for
“buying,” “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each
of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose which violates the
provisions of the Regulations of such Board of Governors.

      3.7 Investment Company Act. The Borrower 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.

29

      3.8 ERISA. The Borrower is in compliance with all material provisions of
ERISA, except to the extent that all failures to be in compliance could not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      3.9 No Material Misstatements. No report, financial statement or other written
information furnished by or on behalf of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender pursuant to subsection 3.1 or subsection 5.1(a) contains or will contain any material
misstatement of fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not
misleading, except to the extent that the facts (whether misstated or omitted) do not result in a
Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement or other written information furnished by
or on behalf of the Borrower for inclusion in the Confidential Information Memorandum
contained as of the Closing Date any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, except to the extent that the facts (whether misstated or omitted)
do not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Any forward-looking information contained in the
Confidential Information Memorandum is based upon good faith judgment believed by
management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the
Lenders that such information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by such information may differ from the
projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

      3.10 Environmental Matters. Except with respect to any matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any
Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability,
(iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of
any basis for any Environmental Liability.

      3.11 Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3.11 constitute all the
Subsidiaries of the Borrower on the date hereof which are “significant subsidiaries” within the
meaning of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (other than as set
forth in such schedule).

      3.12 Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii)
of paragraph (g) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall
immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other
amounts owing under this Agreement shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such
event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with
the consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the
Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the
Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately
terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or
upon the request of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the
Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts
owing under this Agreement to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall
immediately become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section 7,
presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

SECTION 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

      8.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Chase
as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement, and each such Lender
irrevocably authorizes Chase, as the Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action
on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this
Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.

      8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.

      8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or
omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for
its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner
to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the
Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or for any failure of the Borrower to
perform its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to
any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of the Borrower.

      8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and
other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and
treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the
owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer
thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first

38

receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or, to the extent that
this Agreement expressly requires a higher percentage of Lenders, such higher percentage), and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the
Lenders and all future holders of the obligations owing by the Borrower hereunder.

      8.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice
of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower (unless the Borrower shall have delivered such notice
to the Administrative Agent) and then give notice thereof to the Lenders (provided that the
failure to notify the Borrower shall not impair any of the rights of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders with respect to the events and circumstances specified in such notice). The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

      8.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs
of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative
Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property,
condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may

39

come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

      8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent
in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment
Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection 8.7
(or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have
terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their
Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date of payment in full), from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time following the payment of the amounts owing hereunder) be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to deduct
any amount owed to it by any Lender under this subsection 8.7 from any payment made by it to
such Lender hereunder and shall provide notice of such calculation to such Lender. The
agreements in this subsection 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

      8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent
and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

      8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 90 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower and following the
appointment of a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection 8.9. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve as
Administrative Agent a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor
Administrative Agent shall be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall
mean such successor Administrative Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and
the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative

40

Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the obligations owing hereunder.
If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 90
days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume
and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Majority Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent under this Agreement.

      8.10 Syndication Agents and Documentation Agent. Neither of the Syndication
Agents nor the Documentation Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their
capacities as such.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

      9.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, nor any terms hereof
may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection 9.1. The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders,
the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the Borrower written
amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to
this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder
or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or
any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver
and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the principal amount of any
Loan, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder, or extend the scheduled
date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s
Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, or
(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 9.1 or reduce the percentage
specified in the definition of Majority Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by the
Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in each case without the
written consent of all the Lenders, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 or
any other provision of this Agreement governing the rights or obligations of the Administrative
Agent without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent. Any such waiver and any
such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall
be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of
the obligations owing hereunder. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder, and any
Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right
consequent thereon.

41

      9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties

      9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or

any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and

42

      9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant
hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the making of the Loans hereunder.

      9.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or
reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any
amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and any other documents prepared in
connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other reasonable charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or
reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other reasonable charges of
counsel to the Administrative Agent and to the several Lenders (other than those incurred in
connection with the compliance by the relevant Lender with the provisions of subsection
2.18(a)), and (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless
from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting
from any delay by the Borrower in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be
payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or
consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement,
and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from and
against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (it being
understood that this shall not include the fees and disbursements of counsel to any of the Lenders
(other than Chase) in connection with (i) their review of this Agreement prior to the Closing Date
or (ii) prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, any amendment or waiver to
this Agreement or any assignment to another Lender pursuant to the terms hereof) with respect to
the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (all the
foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”); provided that the
Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with
respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent or any such Lender. The agreements in this subsection 9.5 shall survive
repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

      9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, all future holders of the obligations owing hereunder and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

      (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities

43

(“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of
such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder; provided that such Lender shall have
given prior written notice to the Borrower of the identity of such Participant. In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall
remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any
obligation owing to it hereunder for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. In no event shall any Participant
under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except
to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest
on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the
Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower hereby agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 with respect to
its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a
Lender; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to
any such subsection than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of
the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no
such transfer occurred.

      (c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate thereof
(other to an affiliate of a Lender, if such assignment would result in increased costs to the
Borrower) or, with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and
the Administrative Agent, to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”) all or any
part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee, such assigning
Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that, unless the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent, any such assignment to an Assignee which is not a
Lender (before giving effect to such assignment) or an affiliate thereof shall be in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after
the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of (and be) a Lender hereunder with a Commitment
as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may sell,
transfer, assign or grant participations in all or any part of the Competitive Loans made by it.

44

      (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
subsection 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the
“Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment
of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in
the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
Borrower therein recorded, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded
therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and
copying by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of the Register to the
Borrower on a monthly basis.

      (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate
thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) together with payment by the Lender to
the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative
Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date
determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give
notice of such acceptance and recordation to the assigning Lender, its Assignee and the
Borrower.

      (f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective
Participant, any Participant or any prospective Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) any and all
financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its affiliates
which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or which has been delivered to all Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower in
connection with their respective credit evaluations of the Borrower and its affiliates prior to
becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such Transferee has executed and delivered
to the Borrower a written confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of that which has
been executed and delivered by each Lender prior to the date hereof and (ii) in the case of any
information other than that contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum, the
Borrower has been informed of the identity of such Transferee and has consented to the
disclosure of such information thereto. Nothing contained in this subsection 9.6(f) shall be
deemed to prohibit the delivery to any Transferee of any financial information which is otherwise
publicly available.

      (g) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any
portion of its Loans to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. In order to
facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender
at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder,
the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a Note evidencing the
Revolving Credit Loans owing to such Lender.

      9.7 Adjustments. If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive
any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect

45

thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the
nature referred to in Section 7(g), or otherwise), such that it has received aggregate payments or
collateral on account of its Loans in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans which are then due
and payable, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other
Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall
provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as
shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of
such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender,
such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest.

      9.8 Counterparts. (a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all
of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A
set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent.

      (b) By its signature hereto, each Lender hereby agrees that this Agreement shall
become effective immediately upon the execution and delivery on June 23, 2000 by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent of this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement has not been
duly executed and delivered by each Person listed on the signature pages hereto (other than the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with respect to which the execution and delivery of this
Agreement shall be a condition precedent to its effectiveness) on or before the date upon which
this Agreement becomes effective in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this
Agreement shall nevertheless become effective with respect to those Persons who have executed
and delivered it on or before such effective date and those Persons who have not executed and
delivered it (such Persons, the “Non-Executing Banks”) shall be deemed not to be Lenders
hereunder.

      (c) On the date of effectiveness of this Agreement, the Borrower may (after
consultation with the Administrative Agent) designate one or more Lenders (the “Designated
Lenders”) to assume the Commitments which would have been held by the Non-Executing Banks
and, if the Designated Lenders agree to assume such Commitments, (i) Schedules I and II shall be
deemed to be amended to reflect such increase in the respective Commitment of each Designated
Lender and the omission of each Non-Executing Bank as a Lender hereunder and (ii) the
respective Commitment of each Designated Lender shall be deemed to be such increased amount
for all purposes hereunder.

      (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the
Commitment of a Lender shall not be increased (without the prior written consent of such
Lender) as a result of the failure of any other Person to execute and deliver this Agreement or
otherwise and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders exceed
$2,000,000,000.

46

      9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

      9.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

      9.11 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

      9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by
any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this subsection, to any Assignee of or Participant in,
or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this subsection or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other
than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case
of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this subsection shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.

47

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year
first above written.
