At no time shall the Total Usage exceed the Total Commitment of $500,000,000, as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments;provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve the other Lenders of their obligations to lend.

Section 2.02. Borrowing Base.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Total Usage shall not at any time exceed the

lesser of (i) the Total Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base, and no Loan or Swing Line Loan shall be made or Letter of Credit issued in violation of the foregoing.

Section 2.03. Letters of Credit.(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Borrowers may request the Fronting Bank, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, to issue, and, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Fronting Bank shall issue, for the account of the Borrowers one or more Letters of Credit in support of obligations of the Borrowers or one or more Excluded Subsidiaries,provided that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if after giving effect to such issuance (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings would exceed $75,000,000, and (ii) the Total Usage would exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base, and,provided further that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Fronting Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that the conditions to such issuance have not been met.

(b) No Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (i) one year from the issuance thereof, and (ii) five (5) days before the Maturity Date,provided that if the Termination Date shall occur prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall, at or prior to the Termination Date, except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree in writing, (i) cause all Letters of Credit which expire after the Termination Date to be returned to the Fronting Bank undrawn and marked “canceled” or (ii) if the Borrowers are unable to do so in whole or in part, either (x) provide a “back-to-back” letter of credit to the Fronting Bank in a form satisfactory to the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent (in their sole discretion), issued by a bank satisfactory to the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent (in their sole discretion), in an amount equal to 105% of the then undrawn stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank and/or (y) deposit cash in the Letter of Credit Account in an amount which, together with any amounts then held in the Letter of Credit Account, is equal to 105% of the then undrawn stated amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings as collateral security for the Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations in connection therewith, such cash to be remitted to the Borrowers upon the expiration, cancellation or other termination or satisfaction of such reimbursement obligations.

(c) The Borrowers shall pay to the Fronting Bank, in addition to such other fees and charges as are specifically provided for in Section 2.22 hereof, such fees and charges in connection with the issuance and processing of the Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank as are customarily imposed by the Fronting Bank from time to time in connection with letter of credit transactions.

(d) Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers in Dollars not later than the first Business Day following the date of draw and shall bear interest from the date of draw until the first Business Day following the date of draw at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.25% and thereafter until reimbursed in full at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.25% (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days). The Borrowers shall effect such reimbursement (x) if such draw occurs prior to the Termination Date, in cash or through a Borrowing (a “Refunding Borrowing”) without the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or (y) if such draw occurs on or after the Termination Date, in cash. Each Lender agrees to make the Loans pursuant to any Borrowing described in clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence notwithstanding a failure to satisfy the applicable lending conditions thereto or the provisions of Sections 2.02 or 2.30.

(e) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank, the Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Lender other than the Fronting Bank and each such other Lender shall be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments pursuant to Section 10.03, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Commitment Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lenders. Any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Fronting Bank any resulting liability to any other Lender.

(f) In the event that the Fronting Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Fronting Bank pursuant to this Section, the Fronting Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Fronting Bank so notifies the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, each Lender shall make available to the Fronting Bank such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Fronting Bank, such Lender agrees to pay to the Fronting Bank,

forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Fronting Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Fronting Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Fronting Bank such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any such payment. Whenever the Fronting Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, the Fronting Bank shall pay to each Lender which has paid its Commitment Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof.

Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Loan;provided that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated) to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.16 or 2.19. No more than twelve (12) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any time.

Lender of its proportionate share of such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing or Loans being requested and the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the Borrowing date specified in such notice, each Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of the Administrative Agent at 2 Penn’s Way, New Castle, Delaware 19720, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, in immediately available funds.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including without limitation Section 2.02), the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding $50,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Commitment Percentage of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment;provided that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan and the risk participations purchased by the Lenders as set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow under this Section 2.07. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)Borrowing Procedures. The Borrowers shall give the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent prior written, telex, facsimile or telephonic (confirmed promptly in writing) notice of each Swing Line Borrowing hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the requested borrowing date; such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic notice of Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender

has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.07(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the borrowing date specified in the notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers.

(c)Repayment, Interest.The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity Date;provided that on each day that a Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay Swing Line Loans then outstanding in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Borrowing (or, if less, all Swing Line Loans then outstanding). Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.09.

(d)Prepayment.The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(e)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) At any time the Borrower may request, or the Swing Line Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding;providedthat if the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding on the last Business Day of any week exceeds $15,000,000, then the Swing Line Lender shall make such request on such last Business Day of such week. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.06(b), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the Section 2.02 and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable written request described in the preceding sentence promptly after delivering such request to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such request available to

the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day specified in such request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.07(e)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.07(e)(i), the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(e)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(c) by the time specified in Section 2.07(e)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence of any event or circumstance which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrowers of a notice of Borrowing). No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(f)Repayment of Participations. At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(g)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its ABR Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.07 to refinance such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(h)Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 2.08. Repayment of Loans and Unreimbursed Draws; Evidence of Debt.(a) The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan and each unreimbursed draw under all Letters of Credit as set forth herein.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender or participation in each Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan in which such Lender is participating, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof 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 Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans or drafts drawn under any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this

Agreement. To the extent there is any conflict between the accounts maintained by any Lender and the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the account maintained by such Lender shall control absent manifest error.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.03) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.09. Interest on Loans.(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, each ABR Loan and each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest (computed, for ABR Loans wherein the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, and otherwise computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.25%.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus 2.25%.

(c) Accrued interest on all Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), after such maturity on demand and upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount repaid or prepaid).

Section 2.10. Default Interest.If any Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or Swing Line Loan or in the payment of any other amount becoming due hereunder (other than the reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.03(d) of any draft drawn under a Letter of Credit, which shall be governed by the provisions of such Section), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number

of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to 2% above the then applicable rate.

Section 2.11. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitment.Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Unused Total Commitment. Each such reduction or termination, as applicable, of the Unused Total Commitment shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction or termination, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to be a reduction or termination, as applicable, in the amount of such reduction or termination of the Total Commitment and shall be applied pro rata to reduce the applicable Commitment of each Lender. Simultaneously with each reduction or termination, as applicable, of the Unused Total Commitment, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the Commitment Fee accrued on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender so terminated or reduced through the date thereof.

Section 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest.In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers absent manifest error) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telegraphic notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders, and any request by the Borrowers for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (including pursuant to a refinancing with Eurodollar Loans) pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.13 shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans. After such notice shall have been given and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans.

Section 2.13. Refinancing of Loans.The Borrowers shall have the right, at any time, on three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the date of any refinancing), (x) to refinance (without the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 as a condition to such refinancing) any outstanding Borrowing or Borrowings of Loans of one Type (or a portion thereof) with a Borrowing of Loans of the other Type or (y) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to the following:

(a) as a condition to the refinancing of ABR Loans with Eurodollar Loans and to the continuation of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such refinancing;

(b) if less than a full Borrowing of Loans shall be refinanced, such refinancing shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing held by the Lenders immediately prior to such refinancing;

(c) the aggregate principal amount of Loans being refinanced shall be at least $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,provided that no partial refinancing of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall result in the Eurodollar Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount;

(d) each Lender shall effect each refinancing by applying the proceeds of its new Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan, as the case may be, to its Loan being refinanced;

(e) the Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans effected by a refinancing or in respect to the Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans being continued as Eurodollar Loans shall commence on the date of refinancing or the expiration of the current Interest Period applicable to such continuing Borrowing, as the case may be;

(f) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans may be refinanced only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(g) each request for a refinancing with a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month.

In the event that the Borrowers shall not give notice to refinance any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, or to continue such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans, or shall not be entitled to refinance or continue such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans, in each case as provided above, such Borrowing shall automatically be refinanced with a Borrowing of ABR Loans at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall, after it receives notice from the Borrowers, promptly give each Lender notice of any refinancing, in whole or part, of any Loan made by such Lender.

Section 2.14. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions; Commitment Termination.(a) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans and Swing Line Loans plus the aggregate Letter of Credit

Outstandings exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment or (y) the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers will within one (1) Business Day (i) prepay the Loans and Swing Line Loans (by prepaying Swing Line Loans first, until all outstanding Swing Line Loans are prepaid, and then prepaying Loans) in an amount necessary to cause the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans and Swing Line Loans plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings, including unreimbursed draws, to be equal to or less than the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base, and (ii) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of the Loans and Swing Line Loans, the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of the amount of cash held in the Letter of Credit Account exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment or (y) the Borrowing Base, deposit into the Letter of Credit Account an amount equal to 105% of the amount by which the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of the amount of cash held in the Letter of Credit Account so exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment or (y) the Borrowing Base. Any such amount deposited in the Letter of Credit Account pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be made available or refunded to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent to the extent at any time the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans and Swing Line Loans plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings.

(b) The Borrowers shall, upon the receipt of the Net Proceeds by any of the Borrowers from any Asset Sales (other than Asset Sales described in Section 6.11) by any Borrower, jointly and severally, apply such Net Proceeds as follows: first, to repay the then outstanding Loans and Swing Line Loans (by repaying Swing Line Loans first, until all outstanding Swing Line Loans are repaid, and then repaying Loans, and the Total Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of any such repayments); second, (x) if an Event of Default or an event which upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) if no Loans or Swing Line Loans are then outstanding or if Loans and Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount to be repaid in accordance with this subsection (b) are then outstanding, deposit an amount in the Letter of Credit Account up to 105% of the then Letter of Credit Outstandings; and thereafter, such Net Proceeds may be retained by the Borrowers and invested in Permitted Investments or used for expenditures in the ordinary course of business (subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement). Any such amount deposited in the Letter of Credit Account pursuant to clause (y) of the foregoing sentence shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be made available or refunded to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent to the extent at any time the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans and Swing Line Loans plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings. Net Proceeds from

any Asset Sales (other than Asset Sales described in Section 6.11) by a Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiary, net of the amount of any repayment obligations of such Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiary with respect to third party financing arrangements, shall (i) reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the amount of postpetition Intercompany Loans which may be made to the Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries,provided, however, that in no event shall the permitted amount of postpetition Intercompany Loans to the Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries be less than $100,000,000 (without regard to deductions in respect of third party financing arrangements made available to the Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 6.10), and (ii) reduce the Total Commitment and the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and Swing Line Loans (by prepaying Swing Line Loans first, until all outstanding Swing Line Loans are prepaid, and then prepaying Loans) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds. Net Proceeds from any Asset Sales (other than Asset Sales described in Section 6.11) by a U.K. Subsidiary, net of the amount of any repayment obligations of such U.K. Subsidiary with respect to third party financing arrangements, shall (i) reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the amount of postpetition Intercompany Loans which may be made to the U.K. Subsidiaries, and (ii) reduce the Total Commitment and the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and Swing Line Loans (by prepaying Swing Line Loans first, until all outstanding Swing Line Loans are prepaid, and then prepaying Loans) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds. Simultaneously with each reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to this subsection (b), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the Commitment Fee accrued on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender so reduced through the date thereof.

(c) Without duplication of any prepayment of the Loans and the Swing Line Loans made pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) or 2.14(b), at the close of each Business Day the Administrative Agent shall apply any amounts then on deposit in the Concentration Account to prepay the Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding (by prepaying Swing Line Loans first, until all outstanding Swing Line Loans are prepaid, and then prepaying Loans), and the Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to do so. No prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.14(c) shall reduce the Total Commitment, and amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.14(c) may be reborrowed, subject to the other terms and conditions hereof.

(d) Upon the Termination Date, the Total Commitment shall be terminated in full and the Borrowers shall pay the Loans in full and, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding, comply with Section 2.03(b).

Section 2.15. Optional Prepayment of Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders.(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loans without premium or penalty (except for any breakage costs associated with Eurodollar Loans), in whole or in part, (x) with respect to Eurodollar Loans,

upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written, telex, facsimile or telephonic (confirmed promptly in writing) notice to the Administrative Agent and (y) with respect to ABR Loans on the same Business Day if written, telex, facsimile or telephonic (confirmed promptly in writing) notice is received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time;provided, however, that (i) each such partial prepayment shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000, (ii) no prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of the amounts described in clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 2.15(b), and (iii) no partial prepayment of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $5,000,000. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Loans by the amount and on the date stated therein. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrowers hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.

(b) The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released (i) resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, refinancing with ABR Loans) of any Eurodollar Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such Loan is prepaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan or (ii) in the event that after the Borrowers deliver a notice of Borrowing under Section 2.06 in respect of Eurodollar Loans, such Loans are not made on the first day of the Interest Period specified in such notice of Borrowing for any reason other than a breach by such Lender of its obligations hereunder. Such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan, for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing with ABR Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such Loan, or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount of interest 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 London interbank market. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender.

(c) In the event the Borrowers fail to prepay any Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(a), the Borrowers on demand by any Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment, but without duplication of any amounts paid under Section 2.15(b). Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender.

(d) Any partial prepayment of the Loans by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.15 shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers or, in the absence of such specification, as determined by the Administrative Agent,provided that in the latter case no Eurodollar Loans shall be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.14 to the extent that such Loan has an Interest Period ending after the required date of prepayment unless and until all outstanding ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date have been repaid in full.

Section 2.16. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of Taxes, Other Taxes and taxes imposed on, or measured by, the net income or overall gross receipts or franchise taxes of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or in which the applicable lending office for such Eurodollar Loan is located or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein, or by any other jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein other than a jurisdiction in which such Lender would not be subject to tax but for the execution and performance of this Agreement), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by such Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender in accordance with paragraph (c) below such

additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or effectiveness after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of 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 compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto, such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or the issuance of, or participation in, any Letter of Credit or participation in any Swing Line Loan by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into account Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered to it within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same. Any Lender receiving any such payment shall promptly make a refund thereof to the Borrowers if the law, regulation, guideline or change in circumstances giving rise to such payment is subsequently deemed or held to be invalid or inapplicable.

(d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

Section 2.17. Change in Legality.(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (x) any change after the date of

this Agreement in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a Eurodollar Loan or (y) at any time any Lender determines that the making or continuance of any of its Eurodollar Loans has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then, by written notice to the Borrowers, such Lender may (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrowers for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (a), all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.17, a notice to the Borrowers by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any Eurodollar Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrowers.

Section 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment, etc.All payments and repayments of principal and interest in respect of the Loans (except as provided in Sections 2.16 and 2.17) shall be made for the benefit pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and/or participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and all outstanding undrawn Letters of Credit (and the unreimbursed amount of drawn Letters of Credit) hereunder and all payments of Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (other than those payable to a Fronting Bank) shall be made for the benefit pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments. All payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.19, net of any tax applicable to the Borrowers and (ii) made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim and free of any restriction or condition, at the office of the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall be due. Interest in respect of any Loan hereunder shall accrue from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date on which such Loan is paid in full or converted to a Loan of a different Type.

Section 2.19. Taxes.(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.19, any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net profit or overall gross receipts of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity being called a “Transferee”)) and franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) by the United States or any jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or any such Lender (or Transferee) is organized or in which the applicable lending office of any such Lender (or Transferee) or applicable office of the Administrative Agent, is located or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein other than a jurisdiction in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) would not be subject to tax but for the execution and performance of this Agreement and (ii) taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (“Amounts”) with respect to payments hereunder to a Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in accordance with laws in effect on the later of the date of this Agreement and the date such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent becomes a Lender (or Transferee or Administrative Agent, as the case may be) but not excluding, with respect to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, any increase in such Amounts solely as a result of any change in such laws occurring after such later date or any Amounts that would not have been imposed but for actions (other than actions contemplated by this Agreement) taken by the Borrowers after such later date (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lenders (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, assessments or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrowers will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. If a Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the availability of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request by the Borrowers, apply for such refund at the Borrowers’ expense. If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request by the Borrowers (or promptly upon receipt, if the Borrowers have requested application for such refund pursuant hereto), repay such refund to the Borrowers (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to such refund plus interest that is received by the Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent as part of the refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without additional interest thereon;provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agree to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund, and such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent shall certify to the Borrowers that such refund has in fact been so repaid and provide evidence of such repayment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers. Nothing contained in this sub-Section (c) shall require any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems to be confidential).

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the Borrowers in respect of any payment to any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to on the signature pages hereof, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(f) Each Lender (and Transferee) and the Administrative Agent shall, if not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents and other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including two original copies of (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (unless such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is an “exempt recipient” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) for which no withholding is required) and two original copies of (B) Internal Revenue Service Forms 1001, 4224, W-8BEN or W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1, 1.1441-4 or 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to establish that such payment is (i) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) totally exempt from United States Federal withholding tax or subject to a reduced rate of such tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty. Unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that such payments hereunder are not subject to United States Federal withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(g) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to sub-Section (a) above if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to comply with the provisions of sub-Section (f) above.

(h) Any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrowers or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.20. Certain Fees.The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the fees set forth in that certain fee letter dated October 1, 2004 among the Administrative Agent, CGMI and the Parent (the “Fee Letter”) at the times set forth therein.

(b) To the extent a prepetition creditor has a lien on any prepetition intercompany unsecured claims between and among the Borrowers and no liens on any other assets of the Borrowers other than the stock of Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indentures), such liens shall not be primed,provided, however, that no payments may be made on account of such prepetition claims and the liens of the prepetition creditors shall not extend to the collateral securing the Indebtedness created by this Agreement.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

The Administrative Agent agrees, upon the occurrence of such events with respect to an Affected Lender and upon the written request of the Borrowers, to use its reasonable efforts to obtain the Commitments from one or more Eligible Assignees to act as a Replacement Lender. The Administrative Agent is authorized to execute one or more of such Assignments and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender failing to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand. Further, with respect to such assignment the Affected Lender shall have concurrently received, in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment, amounts payable under Section 2.16 with respect to such Affected Lender and compensation payable under Section 2.21 in the event of any replacement of any Affected Lender under clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 2.30;provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 10.05 and 10.06, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Section 8.06 with respect to losses, obligations, liabilities, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements for matters which occurred prior to the date the Affected Lender is replaced.

ARTICLE 8

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.01. Administration by Administrative Agent.The general administration of the Loan Documents shall be performed by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its discretion, to take or refrain from taking such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise or refrain from exercising such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated by the terms hereof or thereof, as appropriate, together with all powers reasonably incidental thereto (including the release of Collateral in connection with any transaction that is expressly permitted by the Loan Documents). The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except as set forth in this Agreement and the remaining Loan Documents.

Section 8.02. Advances and Payments.(a) On the date of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by such Lender in accordance with its Commitment hereunder. Should the Administrative Agent do so, each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate if not so reimbursed on the date due from and including such date but not including the date of reimbursement.

(b) Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.20, 8.06, 10.05 and 10.06), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, shall be applied, first, in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage to pay accrued but unpaid Commitment Fees or Letter of Credit Fees, and second, in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage to pay accrued but unpaid interest and the principal balance outstanding and all unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings. All amounts to be paid to a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that Lender, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that Lender’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.

Section 8.03. Sharing of Setoffs.Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrowers, including, but not limited to, a secured claim or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans of

any other Lender, (a) such Lender shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lender a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s Loans and such Lender’s participation in Loans of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro-rata,provided that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside, such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). Each of the Borrowers expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Loan may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff (in each case, subject to the same notice requirements as pertain to clause (iv) of the remedial provisions of Section 7.01) or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrowers to such Lender as fully as if such Lender held a Note and was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation.

Section 8.04. Agreement of Required Lenders.Upon any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, waiver, election or other action on the part of the Required Lenders, action shall be taken by the Administrative Agent for and on behalf or for the benefit of all Lenders upon the direction of the Required Lenders, and any such action shall be binding on all Lenders. No amendment, modification, consent, or waiver shall be effective except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10.

Section 8.05. Liability of Administrative Agent.(a) The Administrative Agent, when acting on behalf of the Lenders, may execute any of its respective duties under this Agreement by or through any of its respective officers, agents, and employees, and neither the Administrative Agent nor its directors, officers, agents, employees or Affiliates shall be liable to the Lenders or any of them for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, or be responsible to the Lenders or to any of them for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment, or for any loss, unless the same shall happen through its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent and its respective directors, officers, agents, employees and Affiliates shall in no event be liable to the Lenders or to any of them for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them pursuant to instructions received by them from the Required Lenders or in reliance upon the advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent, nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency, or enforceability of, or for any statement, warranty, or representation

in, this Agreement, any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or order, or shall be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrowers of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, or agreements of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates shall have any responsibility to the Borrowers on account of the failure or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or by the Borrowers of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith.

(c) The Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine or correct and to have been signed or sent by a person or persons believed by it to be the proper person or persons, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants, and other professional advisers and experts selected by it.

Section 8.06.Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of (x) any expenses and fees incurred for the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection with the operations or enforcement thereof not reimbursed by the Borrowers and (y) any expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred for the benefit of the Lenders that the Borrowers have agreed to reimburse pursuant to Section 10.05 and have failed to so reimburse and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates, on demand, in the amount of its proportionate share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers (except such as shall result from their respective gross negligence or willful misconduct).

Section 8.07.Rights of Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that CUSA shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as its rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which it is or may be party, and engage in other transactions

with any Borrower, as though it were not the Administrative Agent of the Lenders under this Agreement.

Section 8.08.Independent Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has decided to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans hereunder based on its own analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby and of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall bear no responsibility therefor.

Section 8.09.Notice of Transfer. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Loans for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by such Lender shall have been received by the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.10.Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of a least $100,000,000, and which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 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.

ARTICLE 9

GUARANTY

Section 9.01.Guaranty. (a) Each of the Borrowers unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment and performance by the Excluded Subsidiaries under any Letters of Credit issued for the account thereof (collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Borrowers further agree that

the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from them, and they will remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Each of the Borrowers waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to the Excluded Subsidiaries or the Borrowers, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Obligations of the Borrowers, as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Excluded Subsidiaries or the Borrowers under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Administrative Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) the release or substitution of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) The Borrowers further agree that this guaranty constitutes a guaranty of performance and of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or a Lender to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or a Lender in favor of any Excluded Subsidiary or the Borrowers, or to any other Person.

(d) The Borrowers hereby waive any defense that they might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of the Excluded Subsidiaries and any of the other Borrowers and any circumstances affecting the ability of the Excluded Subsidiaries or the Borrowers to perform under this Agreement.

(e) The Borrowers’ guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other instrument evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor or by any other circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this guaranty. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders makes any representation or warranty in respect to any such circumstances or shall have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to the Borrowers in respect of the management and maintenance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, upon any of the Guaranteed Obligations becoming due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Guaranteed Obligations by the Borrowers upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, without further application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 9.02.No Impairment of Guaranty. The obligations of the Borrowers, as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Borrowers, as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Borrowers, as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, as a matter of law, unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full.

Section 9.03.Subrogation. Upon payment by the Borrowers, as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any sums to the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder, all rights of the Borrowers against any of the Excluded Subsidiaries or any other Borrower or guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior final and indefeasible payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to the Borrowers, as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, for the account of any of the Foreign Subsidiaries or any other Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Each Lender agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by any of the Borrowers to it confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans;provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender

Each of the Borrowers agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, CGMI and the Lenders and their directors, officers, employees, trustees, advisors, agents and Affiliates (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of claims made by any Person in any way relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, but excluding therefrom all expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that they are determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment of the Loans.

Section 10.07.Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE AND THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

Section 10.08.No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

Section 10.09.Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.

Section 10.10.Amendments, etc. (a) No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Security and Pledge Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance

100

and for the purpose for which given (it being understood that the addition of F-M Canada as a Borrower and the inclusion of its accounts receivable in the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 10.19 shall not require the consent of any Lender);provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of the Lender affected thereby (x) increase the Commitment of a Lender (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of a Lender), or (y) reduce the principal amount of any Loan (or any unreimbursed Letter of Credit) or the rate of interest payable thereon, or extend any date for the payment of interest, principal or fees hereunder or reduce any Fees payable hereunder or extend the final maturity of the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder; and,provided, further, that no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of (A) all of the Lenders (i) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders, (ii) amend this Section 10.10 or the definition of Required Lenders or (iii) amend or modify the Superpriority Claim status of the Lenders contemplated by Section 2.24 or (B) the Super-majority Lenders (i) release any material portion of the Collateral from the Liens created under the Security and Pledge Agreement, (ii) release any Borrower, in its capacity as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or from its joint and several obligations under Section 2.07, (iii) alter the eligibility standards used in determining the Borrowing Base in a manner which would increase the amount of the Borrowing Base, (iv) increase the Total Commitment to an amount in excess of $500,000,000, or (v) increase the advance rates in calculation of the Borrowing Base or (C) Bank One, NA or any applicable banking Affiliate thereof (or their respective successors or assigns) amend or modify clause (y) of Section 6.03(vi) (or enter into any amendment or waiver of this Agreement that would have the effect of modifying clause (y) of Section 6.03(vi)) in a manner that would adversely affect Bank One, NA or such applicable banking Affiliate, successor or assign andprovided further that any amendment or modification of the Security and Pledge Agreement that requires the consent of Bank One, NA pursuant to Section 19 thereof shall not be effective unless and until such consent is obtained. No such amendment or modification may adversely affect the rights and obligations of (i) the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Fronting Bank or (iii) the Swing Line Lender, in each case without its prior written consent. No notice to or demand on any Borrower shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each assignee under Section 10.03(b) shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent authorized as provided herein, and any consent by a Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an interest in the Loans held by such Lender. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against any Borrower unless in writing and signed by such Borrower.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.10(a), in the event that any Borrower requests that this Agreement be modified

101

or amended in a manner which would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders (or the consent described in clause (B) of the first sentence in Section 10.10(a)) and such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Super-majority Lenders (as hereinafter defined), then with the consent of the Borrowers and the Super-majority Lenders, the Borrowers and the Super-majority Lenders shall be permitted to amend this Agreement without the consent of the Lender or Lenders which did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by such Borrower (such Lender or Lenders, collectively the “Minority Lenders”) to provide for (w) the termination of the Commitment of each of the Minority Lenders, (x) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial institutions (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee), or an increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Super-majority Lenders, so that the Total Commitment after giving effect to such amendment shall be in the same amount as the Total Commitment immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (y) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new financial institutions or Super-majority Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full the outstanding Loans of the Minority Lenders immediately before giving effect to such amendment and (z) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate. As used herein, the term “Super-majority Lenders” shall mean, at any time, Lenders including CUSA holding Loans representing at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding, or if no Loans are outstanding, Lenders having Commitments representing at least 66-2/3% of the Total Commitment.

Section 10.11. 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.

Section 10.12. Headings.Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

Section 10.13. Execution in Counterparts.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.14. Prior Agreements.This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and the terms of any letters and other documentation entered into between any Borrower and any Lender or the Administrative Agent prior to the execution of this Agreement

102

which relate to Loans to be made hereunder shall be replaced by the terms of this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to the Fee Letter).

Section 10.15. Further Assurances.Whenever and so often as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further instruments, documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be necessary and reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in the Administrative Agent all rights, interests, powers, benefits, privileges and advantages conferred or intended to be conferred by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.16. Waiver of Jury Trial.EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

Section 10.17. Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.Each of the Borrowers agrees that any and all Intercompany Indebtedness owed to any Borrower shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Obligations. Notwithstanding any right of any Borrower to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment in respect of any Intercompany Indebtedness owed to any Borrower, any and all rights, liens and security interests of any Borrower, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Subsidiary of Parent (whether constituting part of Collateral given to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders to secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations or otherwise) shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in those assets. No Borrower shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements among the Borrowers and the Lenders have been terminated. So long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any Intercompany Indebtedness owed by any Borrower shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Obligations, due or to become due, until such Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and satisfied. Each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of any Borrower such proofs of claim and

103

take such other action, in the Administrative Agent’s own name or in the name of the applicable Borrower or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Section 10.17. The Administrative Agent may vote such proofs of claim in any such proceeding, receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Obligations. Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Borrower upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements among the Borrowers and the Lenders, the applicable Borrower shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Lenders and shall so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing promptly deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the applicable Borrower where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the applicable Borrower as the property of the Lenders. If any Borrower fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees are irrevocably authorized to make the same. So long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers agree that until the Obligations have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements among the Borrowers and the Lenders have been terminated, the Borrowers will neither assign nor transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim the Borrowers have or may have against any other Subsidiary of Parent.

Section 10.18. Excluded Subsidiaries.Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document or the Approval Order to the contrary, no more than 66% of the capital stock (or comparable equity interests) in or of any Excluded Subsidiary other than Federal-Mogul, S.A. – France which is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code, shall be pledged or similarly hypothecated to guaranty or support any Obligations of any Borrower. The parties agree that any pledge, guaranty or security or similar interest made or granted in contravention of this Section 10.18 shall be voidab initio.

Section 10.19. Addition of F-M Canada as Borrower.The Parent shall have the right to request that F-M Canada, a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent, become a “Borrower” under this Agreement and that its accounts receivable and inventory be included in the Borrowing Base. Any such request shall be made in writing to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether to agree to such request. If the Administrative Agent shall agree to any such request, F-M Canada shall

104

become an additional Borrower under the Loan Documents (and be subject to all the obligations of a “Borrower” under the Loan Documents) on the date of satisfaction of the following conditions (the “F-M Canada Addition Date”):

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) a supplement to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto and (ii) a supplement to the Security and Pledge Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Security and Pledge Agreement, in each case duly executed and delivered by F-M Canada;

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received for F-M Canada each of the documents specified in Section 4.01(a) (with references in such Section to “Closing Date” being deemed references to the F-M Canada Addition Date);

(c) the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that all assets of F-M Canada that would constitute “Collateral” under the Security and Pledge Agreement shall be subject to a valid and perfected first priority Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders; and

(d) the Administrative Agent shall have received such other approvals (including without limitation orders of the Bankruptcy Court), opinions of counsel (including without limitation opinions with respect to creation and perfection of security interests) or documents as the Administrative Agent may request in its discretion in connection with the addition of F-M Canada as a Borrower under the Loan Documents.

From and after the F-M Canada Addition Date, the Borrowing Base shall include the accounts receivable of F-M Canada, on the terms and subject to the conditions specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

Section 10.20. Commitment to Exit Financing.By executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent its signature page to this Agreement, each Lender hereby agrees and confirms to CGMI, in its capacity as arranger of the proposed $1,418,000,000 exit financing to be made available to the Parent, that such Lender is committing to the revolving credit facility contemplated by such exit financing an amount equal to the amount of its Commitment hereunder on the date hereof, as such amount may be reduced from time to time pursuant to any Assignment and Acceptance as to which such Lender is an assignor. The provisions of this Section 10.20 are solely for the benefit of CGMI in its capacity as arranger of the revolving credit facility referred to herein, and shall not be for the benefit of, and shall not be construed to provide any rights to, any Loan Party.
