Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s

Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and
reborrow under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar
Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
23
2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.
(a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other,
and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Parent’s irrevocable notice
to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Singapore Loans may be requested not
more often than once per calendar quarter. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (other than Singapore Loans)
or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, (ii) on the requested
date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans (other than Singapore Loans), and (iii) five (5)
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion or continuation of
Singapore Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrowers wish to request
Eurodollar Rate Loans (other than Singapore Loans) having an Interest Period other than one, two,
three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. four Business Days
prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation (and five (5) Business
Days in the case of Singapore Loans), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to
all of them. Not later than 10:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent (which
notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by
all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Parent pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent. Each Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections
2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall
be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower
is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or
a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be
borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, (v) whether the Borrower is
requesting a Singapore Loan, and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If the Parent fails to specify a Type of
Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Parent fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or
converted to, Base Rate Loans, except in the case of Singapore Loans, which shall be Eurodollar
Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Any such automatic conversion to
Base Rate Loans (or Eurodollar Rate Loans in the case of Singapore Loans) shall be effective as of
the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate
Loans. If the Parent requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed
to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
24
(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans,
and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each
Lender (or each Singapore Lender, in the case of a Singapore Loan) shall make the amount of its
Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent (or Singapore Loan Agent, in the case of a
Singapore Loan) in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office (or Singapore
Loan Agent’s Office, as applicable) not later than 1:00 p.m. (or, in the case of Singapore Loans,
10:30 a.m. Hong Kong time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.
Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such
Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall
make all funds so received available to the Parent or other applicable Borrower in like funds as
received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the
books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each
case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative
Agent by the Parent; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan
Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Parent, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding,
then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any
such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to such Borrower as provided
above.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of
a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without
the consent of the Required Lenders.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Lenders of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such
interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Parent and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from
one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not
be more than seven different Interest Periods in effect at any time with respect to Eurodollar Rate
Loans.
(f) To the extent that the sum of Loans made to U.S. Borrowers (“U.S. Loans”) and Singapore
Loans of any Singapore Lender would exceed its Commitment, the non-Singapore Lenders will purchase
U.S. Loans from such Singapore Lender up to the lesser of (a) the amount of such excess, and (b)
with respect to each such Lender, its own Commitment.
(g) Upon each request for a Borrowing which is a Singapore Loan, and at all times while
Singapore Loans are outstanding, the Singapore Lenders and the non-Singapore Lenders shall purchase
and sell U.S. Loans among themselves to the extent necessary to maintain their Applicable
Percentage with respect to the Loans, taken as a whole, subject however, to the
25
Singapore Lenders
being the sole Lenders to make Singapore Loans, and recognizing that the total amount of all
Singapore Loans outstanding may exceed the total amount of U.S. Loans outstanding at any date of
determination.

a representation by such Borrowers that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with
the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Borrowers’ ability to
obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the U.S. Borrowers may,
during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have
expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:
(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter
of Credit would occur more than eighteen months after the date of issuance or last
extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than
six months after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have
approved such expiry date.
(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such
Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any
26
request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority
with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit
in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is
not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall
impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material
to it;
(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(C) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars
or an Alternative Currency;
(D) the L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of
Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency; or
(E) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c)
exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C
Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender
to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.
(iv) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A)
the L/C Issuer would not be permitted or otherwise have no obligation at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of
such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of
Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have
all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article
IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection
with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used
in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and
(B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of a U.S. Borrower delivered to its requested L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application
must be received by the requested L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than
10:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the
27
Administrative
Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior
to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a
request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance
date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount
thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;
(E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F)
the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other
matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the
proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally,
the Borrowers shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or
amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may
require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable U.S.
Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the
Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested
date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date,
issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary or enter
into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C
Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount
of such Letter of Credit.
(iii) If a U.S. Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application,
the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter
of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit
the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period
(commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to
the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in
each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.
Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required
to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have
28
authorized (but may
not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to
an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C
Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such
time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or
otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or
before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the
Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or
(2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each
such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter
of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C
Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Parent and applicable
Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Parent or applicable Borrower shall reimburse
the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall
have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the
absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Parent or applicable
Borrower shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of
drawing that the Parent or applicable Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In
the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Parent and the
applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following
the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C
Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Parent or the
applicable Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing. If the L/C Issuer is not reimbursed by such time, the applicable L/C Issuer shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed
drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage thereof. In such event, the U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal
to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount
of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given
by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)
may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that
29
the
lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect
of such notice.
(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the
Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by
the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section
2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Base Rate Committed Loan to the U.S. Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent
shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to
have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount
that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together
with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such
L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until each relevant Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any
Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount
shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section
2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Parent of a Committed Loan Notice). No
such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the U.S. Borrowers to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from
30
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender
pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in
respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of
Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the U.S. Borrowers to reimburse the L/C
Issuer on behalf of the applicable Borrower for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to
repay each L/C Borrowing shall be joint and several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any other Loan Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting),
the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
31
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of
a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower.
The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such
Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the applicable Borrower will immediately notify the
L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the
L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing
under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document
(other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit)
or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of
the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection
herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable;
(ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii)
the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related
to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;
provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude a Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary
or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of
the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i)
through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such
clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and
the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any
direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the
Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C
Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a
32
sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of
a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may
accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall
not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C
Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing
has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the U.S. Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately
Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.05 and
8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.
For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c),
“Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations,
cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the
Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The U.S. Borrowers hereby grant
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest
in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.
Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of
America.
(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer
and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each
Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits,
as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall
apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee
(the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin
times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit
Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter,
the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin
was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the
Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the
Default Rate.
33
(j) Fronting Fee and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The U.S. Borrowers
shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each
commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with
respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of
Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Parent and the L/C Issuer, computed on the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment,
and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee
Letter, computed on the face amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such
fronting fee shall be due and payable on the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In addition, the
U.S. Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, for its own account the customary
issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges,
of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary
fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of
Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account
of, a Subsidiary, the Parent and other U.S. Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C
Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The U.S. Borrowers hereby
acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the
benefit of the Parent and U.S. Borrowers, and that the businesses of the U.S Borrowers derive
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
2.04 Swing Line Loans.
(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing
Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to Parent and
each other U.S. Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an
aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage
of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line
Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that
after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the
Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any
Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further,
that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding
Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05,
and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.
Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
34
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 Applicable
Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which
shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent. Promptly after receipt by the Swing
Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing
Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
appropriate Borrower either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing
Line Lender in immediately available funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by
the Parent.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request,
on behalf of the U.S. Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to
so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a U.S. Loan consisting of a Base Rate
Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of
Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written
request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance
with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized
portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan
Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall
make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed
Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the
account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00
p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section
2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Base Rate Committed
35
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 Committed
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Committed
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 2.04(c)(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 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(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 greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.
If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing
or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. 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 Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
the Swing Line Lender, the U.S. Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B)
the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the U.S. Borrowers to
repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) 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 Applicable Percentage thereof
in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
36
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay
to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent
will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the U.S. Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each
Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section
2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in
respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The U.S. Borrowers shall make all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line
Lender.
2.05 Prepayments.
(a) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
10:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B)
on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire
principal amount thereof then outstanding, and provided further, that Singapore Loans may
be prepaid no more often than once per calendar quarter. Each such notice shall specify the date
and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar
Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage 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. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by
all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant
to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(b) 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 (i) such notice must be received by
37
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
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.
(c) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then
in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that
(i) the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings
exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; (ii) Xxxxxx Singapore shall not be required to
prepay or Cash Collateralize U.S. Loans; and (iii) if the Total Outstandings would not have
exceeded the Aggregate Commitments then in effect other than as a result of a revaluation of
Alternative Currency obligations, the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations or prepay Loans unless such excess amount is greater than $100,000.
(d) Upon each prepayment of a Singapore Loan, each Singapore Lender will purchase U.S. Loans
from each non-Singapore Lender equal to such Singapore Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
non-Singapore Loans to the extent necessary to maintain each Lender’s Applicable Percentage with
respect to the Loans, taken as a whole, subject however, to the Singapore Lenders being the sole
Lenders to make Singapore Loans.
2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate
Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction,
(ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the
Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder,
the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to
any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Singapore Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit
or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according
to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the
Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
2.07 Repayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrowers (other than Xxxxxx Singapore) shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity
Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such date, and Xxxxxx Singapore shall repay the aggregate amount of Committed Loans that are Singapore Loans
outstanding on such date.
38
(b) The U.S. Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the
date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.
2.08 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin;
(ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrowers under
any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods),
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the
Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.
(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the
Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations
hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section
2.03:
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the
Applicable Margin times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed
the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C
Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period,
including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article
39
IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth Business Day following the end of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be
calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any
quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.
(b) Upfront Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an upfront fee equal to .50% of such
Lender’s Commitment, which shall be due and payable on the Closing Date.
(c) Other Fees. (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.
(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed
upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when
paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin.
(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank
of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made
on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). All other computations of
fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed; provided however, that if a Lender is unable to, or would incur
additional expense, in computing fees and interest on such basis, the Borrowers agree to work with
the Lenders to reasonably accommodate such limitations. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the
day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day
on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the
same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of
the Borrowers or for any other reason, the Borrowers or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrowers as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in
higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual
or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy
40
Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should
have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.
This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b)
or under Article VIII. The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
2.11 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Agents in the ordinary course of business. The
accounts or records maintained by the Agents and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest
and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit
or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect
to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by
any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agents in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such
Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its
Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and
payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent
or Singapore Loan Agent, as applicable, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at such Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later
than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein. The Agents will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.
All payments received by an Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be
made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be
41
made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing
interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agents. Unless the applicable Agent shall
have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 9:00
a.m. on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to such
Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, such Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of
a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in
accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the applicable Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to such Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the
date of payment to such Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B)
in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the applicable Agent for the
same or an overlapping period, such Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable
Committed Borrowing to the applicable Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without
prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the applicable Agent.
(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agents. Unless the applicable Agent shall
have received notice from the Parent prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Agent
for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such
payment, the applicable Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to
repay to the applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
A notice of either Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under
this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
42
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to an
Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by such Agent because
the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied
or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, such Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make
payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender
to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section
10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under
Section 10.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.
2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the
Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by
it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro
rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans
of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them,
in all cases subject to Section 2.15(b) hereof, and provided that:
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing
Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
43
The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount
of such participation.
2.14 Increase in Commitments.
(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Parent may on a one-time basis,
request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments in the form of revolving advances by an amount not
exceeding $50,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Parent (in consultation with the
Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to
respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such
notice to the Lenders).
(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by
an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested
increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to
increase its Commitment.
(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Parent and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made
hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, and the Singapore Loan Agent in the
case of a Singapore Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Parent may
also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. The Applicable Margin for
the new Commitments shall be determined by Parent and the applicable new Lenders; provided,
however, that the Applicable Margin for the new Commitments shall not be greater than the
Applicable Margin for the existing Commitments (and the Applicable Margin applicable to the
existing Commitments shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing).
(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Parent shall determine the effective
date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase, including any increases in the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Singapore Sublimit or the Swing Line
Sublimit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the
final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.
(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party
dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a
Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by
44
such Loan Party (if applicable) approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the
Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true
and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15, the
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall
be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. The U.S. Borrowers shall prepay
any Committed Loans which are U.S. Loans, and Xxxxxx Singapore shall prepay any Committed Loans
which are Singapore Loans, outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding
Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable
increase in the Commitments under this Section.
(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
2.15 Designated Borrowers; Relationship Among Borrowers. (a) Effective as of the date hereof each
of Opco and Xxxxxx Singapore shall be a “Designated Borrower” hereunder and may receive Loans for
its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Parent may at any time,
upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional
Subsidiary of the Parent (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to
receive Loans and request Letters of Credit hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent
(which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and
agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H (a “Designated Borrower Request and
Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant
Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Administrative
Agent, Singapore Loan Agent (as applicable) and the Lenders shall have received such supporting
resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in
form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by
the Administrative Agent, Singapore Loan Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole discretion,
and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require. If the Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders agree that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans
and request Letters of Credit hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such requested
resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a
“Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Parent, Singapore Loan Agent (if applicable) and the
Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a
Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such
Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and
each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all
purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Committed Loan Notice or Letter of Credit
Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five
Business Days after such effective date.
45
(b) The Obligations of the Parent and each Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary
shall be joint and several in nature. The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers that are Foreign
Subsidiaries shall be several in nature.
(c) Each Subsidiary of the Parent that is a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section
2.15 hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for all purposes relevant to this
Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices,
(ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein
and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the
Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction,
certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by
all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken
only by the Parent, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand,
consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Parent
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each
Designated Borrower.
2.16 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.
Subject to Section 2.15(b), and with the understanding that Xxxxxx Singapore will not
be construed as a “Borrower” for purposes of assessing liability for any Obligation of a U.S.
Borrower hereunder:
(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this
Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration
of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the
Obligations.
(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not
merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers,
with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without
limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.16), it being the intention of the
parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower
without preferences or distinction among them.
(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any
of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the
terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to,
or perform, such Obligation.
(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.16
constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable
against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives
notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loan or Letter of
46
Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of
Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time
taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the
Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection
with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents
to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the
Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial
payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or
Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or
satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations,
and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of
any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in
part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to
any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of Administrative Agent or any
Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective
Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right
or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which
might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.16 afford grounds for terminating,
discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this
Section 2.16, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the
Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section
2.16 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such
performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.16 shall not be
diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation,
examination, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or the
Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that such
Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other
circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and
Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.
Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other
guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or
nonperformance of the Obligations.
(g) The provisions of this Section 2.16 are made for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from
time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without
requirement on the part of any such Administrative Agent, Lender, successor or assign first to
marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower
or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other
source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other
remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.16 shall remain in effect until all of the
47
Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any
payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section
2.16 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.
(h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or
subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or
Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time
as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have
against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or Lenders
hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in
right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or
thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, examination, reorganization or other similar
proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets,
whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any
payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be
made to any other Borrower therefor.
(i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing
by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash
of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, xxx for or otherwise
attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such
Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such
amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the
Administrative Agent, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the Administrative Agent
for application to the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the respective Borrowers hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require
any Borrower or any Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in
accordance with such Laws as determined by such Borrower or such Agent, as the case may be, upon
the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
48
(ii) If any Borrower or Agent shall be required by the Code or tax law of any other
jurisdiction to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup
withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the applicable Agent shall
withhold or make such deductions as are determined by such Agent to be required based upon
the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the
applicable Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the
withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum
payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Singapore Loan Agent,
Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or
(b) above, the Borrowers shall, and each does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Singapore Loan Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or
paid by the Administrative Agent, Singapore Loan Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrowers shall also, and do hereby,
indemnify the Agents, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand
therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly
to either Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of
any such payment or liability delivered to the Parent by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent or Singapore Loan Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and
the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrowers and the Agents, and shall
make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all
Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or the
Agents) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or any Agent by any Governmental
Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation
required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the
Borrowers or the applicable Agent pursuant to
49
subsection (e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the applicable Agent to
set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to
the applicable Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall
survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent or Singapore Loan
Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
other Obligations.
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers or by an Agent to a Governmental
Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrowers shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, as the case may
be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers or the applicable Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the
Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or
when reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any
jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder
or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of
withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or
reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding
tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States,
(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent
executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation
or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable
treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
50
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign
Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party,
(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and
all required supporting documentation,
(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank”
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of
the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, or
(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws
as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as
may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made.
(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent of
any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any
jurisdiction that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction
for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall either Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the
L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes
withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be. If any Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers
or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it
shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
51
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by such Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the applicable Agent, such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any
Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
(g) Goods and Services Tax. Each Borrower shall also pay to each of the
Administrative Agent, the Singapore Loan Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
on demand, in addition to any amount payable by the Borrower to such Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, under a Loan Document, any goods and services, value added or similar Tax
payable in respect of that amount (and references in that Loan Document to that amount shall be
deemed to include any such Taxes payable in addition to it).
3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates
based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on
the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent through the Administrative
Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base
Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of
such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or
converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in
connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof
that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan , or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent and
each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders)
revokes such notice. Upon
52
receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for
a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
in the amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or
to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of
Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or
the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers (subject to
Section 2.15(b)) will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such
53
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or
the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Parent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers (subject to
Section 2.15(b)) shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as
long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan
equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by
such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable
on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Parent shall have
received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such
additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from
receipt of such notice.
3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such
Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate
Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a
Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in
the amount notified by the Borrowers; or
(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;
54
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 3.05 to the contrary, Xxxxxx Singapore shall have no
obligation with respect to any loss, cost or expense to the extent attributable to U.S. Loans.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the
Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section
3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and
resignation of the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE IV.

to make its initial Credit Extension hereunder is subject to satisfaction of the following
conditions precedent:
55
(a) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of the following, each of which shall be originals or
telecopies (followed promptly by originals) unless otherwise specified, each properly executed by a
Responsible Officer of the signing Loan Party, each dated the Closing Date (or, in the case of
certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the Closing Date) and each in form and

application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to
the best knowledge of the Borrowers, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss
of, such qualification. The Borrowers and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required

on Part (a) of Schedule 5.13 free and clear of all Liens. The Borrowers have no
equity investments in any other corporation or entity other than those specifically disclosed in
Part(b) of Schedule 5.13, or as may be included in general investments in mutual funds and
other securities considered to be equity investments. All of the outstanding Equity Interests in
the Borrowers have been validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable.
5.14 Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.
(a) The Borrowers are not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of their
important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock.
(b) None of the Borrowers, any Person Controlling the Borrowers, or any Subsidiary is or is
required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
5.15 Disclosure. The Borrowers have disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which they or any of their
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to them, that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No report,
financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by
or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other
61
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers
represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to
be reasonable at the time.
5.16 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in
all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and
decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such
requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
5.17 Taxpayer Identification Number. Each U.S. Borrower’s true and correct U.S. taxpayer
identification number is set forth on Schedule 5.17. The true and correct company
registration number for Xxxxxx Singapore is set forth in the preamble hereto.

rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP
Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses,
without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Borrowers, no
slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now
employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary infringes upon any
rights held by any other Person, which infringement could have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.18, no claim or litigation regarding any of the
foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened, which, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrowers hereby agree
that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly
and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall
appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the
Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the L/C Issuer
and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public
information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States Federal
and state securities laws (provided,
64
however, that to the extent such Borrower

faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP
are being maintained by such Borrower or such Subsidiary; (b) all lawful claims which, if unpaid,
would by law become a Lien upon its property unless the same are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves with respect thereto are

payable, but subject to any subordination provisions contained in any instrument or agreement

65
condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and (b) make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals

against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or
similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance
compatible with the following standards) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by
such other Persons.
6.08 Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws
and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property,
except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree

the Borrowers’ expense); provided, however, that when an Event of Default exists
the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent
contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrowers at any time during normal
business hours and without advance notice, and without regard to the number of such inspections
already conducted.

Agent hereunder is also a Lender under this Agreement, such Person shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not the Administrative Agent or Singapore Loan Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent or Singapore Loan Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.
Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any
Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative
Agent or Singapore Loan Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Singapore Loan Agent shall
have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
76
other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the
Singapore Loan Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Singapore Loan Agent shall be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or
that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

their Affiliates in any capacity.
Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or
at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of
any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the
Borrowers, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder

authenticated by the proper Person. The Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder
77
to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or Singapore Loan Agent, as
applicable, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless
such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to
the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agents may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by such Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent or Singapore Loan Agent, as applicable.
9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
L/C Issuer and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a
bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that
no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among the Borrowers and such successor.
After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties
78
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as Singapore Loan Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Singapore Loan Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring Singapore Loan Agent, L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall
issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time
of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to
effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of
Credit.
9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, Singapore Loan Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
Singapore Loan Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Book
Managers or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder.
9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing
and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders,
the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and
79
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding. The Administrative Agent shall not credit bid any
Obligation held by any Lender or L/C Issuer in any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law without the
prior written consent of such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable.
9.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in

other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have
been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale
permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section

or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent,
such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the

concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible
Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum
amount has been met.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this
clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of
Swing Line Loans;
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender;
(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of
the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether
or not then outstanding); and
(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive
such processing and
88
recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to a Borrower
or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.
Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i)
such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement.
89
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as
though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.
(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’
notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to
the Borrowers, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or
Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by
the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it
shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect
to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and
all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base
Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section
2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of
the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and
outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall
90
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of
such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume
the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Singapore Loan Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and
to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees,
advisors and representatives to the extent reasonably deemed necessary by such Agent or Lender for
purposes related to the administration of, or enforcement of remedies under, this Agreement (it
being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b)
to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f)
subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant
to Section 2.14(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any
swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the
consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent,
any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrowers or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Singapore Loan Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a
Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding
the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such
91
material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal
and state securities Laws.
10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender,
the L/C Issuers and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but subject to Section
2.15(b), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower to
such Lender or L/C Issuer now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to such Lender or L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or L/C Issuer shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of
the Borrowers may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender, the L/C Issuers or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and L/C Issuer
agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application.
10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for,
charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the
total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and
by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of
each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
92
10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder
and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in
connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on
their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or
any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby
and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.
10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if
any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace
a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required
by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the Borrowers shall have paid or caused to be paid, to the Administrative Agent the
assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05)
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or
the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
93
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF

RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR
ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO

OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. SUBJECT TO PARAGRAPH (E) OF THIS SECTION, EACH PARTY HERETO
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION
10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

(ii) AGREES THAT FAILURE BY A PROCESS AGENT TO NOTIFY XXXXXX SINGAPORE OF THE PROCESS
WILL NOT INVALIDATE THE PROCEEDINGS CONCERNED.
10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction
contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification
hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the

their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lead
Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each Borrower and other Loan Party has consulted its own legal,

interests to the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and

amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include

FORM OF GUARANTY
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of
credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter from time to time made or granted to
XXXXXX STRATEX NETWORKS, INC. (“Parent”), XXXXXX STRATEX NETWORKS OPERATING CORPORATION,
XXXXXX STRATEX NETWORKS (S) PTE. LTD, and each Designated Borrower (collectively, the
“Borrowers”) pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2008 (the
“Credit Agreement”), by and among Borrowers, BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as a lender, SILICON
VALLEY BANK, as a lender, and each other lender from time to time party thereto (collectively the
“Lenders”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. , as Administrative Agent, and BANC OF AMERICA SECURITIES
ASIA LIMITED, as Singapore Loan Agent, and their successors and assigns, the undersigned Guarantor
(whether one or more the “Guarantor”, and if more than one jointly and severally) hereby
furnishes its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined). Capitalized terms
not defined herein have the meaning given them in the Credit Agreement.
1. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of
payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at
all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of every
kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
voluntary or involuntary and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees indemnities, damages,
costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrowers to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, whenever
created, arising, evidenced or acquired (including all renewals, extensions,
amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof), and
whether recovery upon such indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or
shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the
Guarantor or the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor
statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor
relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and
affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and
including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against the Borrowers of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The
Lenders’ books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in
evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and conclusive for
the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be
affected by the genuineness, validity,
F-1
Form of Guaranty
regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement
evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection,
non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the
Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the
Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now
have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder at any time
shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548
of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar
federal or state law.
2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. The Guarantor represents and warrants that it is
organized and resident in the United States of America. The Guarantor shall make all payments
hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or
conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political
subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law
to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect
to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Lender) is imposed upon the Guarantor
with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, the Guarantor will pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date on which such amount is due and payable
hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders to
receive the same net amount which the Lenders would have received on such due date had no such
obligation been imposed upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will deliver promptly to the
Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted
from or paid with respect to payments made by the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the
Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and
termination of this Guaranty. All payments under this Guaranty shall be made in the United States.
The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or
governmental authority affecting the Borrowers, including but not limited to, any restrictions on
the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial
expropriation of the Borrowers’ property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in
the countries where any Borrower is located.
3. Rights of Lenders. The Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and
Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the
enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise,
discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive,
release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this
Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of
sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or
substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
F-2
Form of Guaranty
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or
failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the
Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the
Guarantor.
4. Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability
or other defense of the Borrowers or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause
whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Lenders) of the liability of the Borrowers; (b)
any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than
those of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s
liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Lenders to proceed against the Borrowers, proceed
against or exhaust any security for the Indebtedness, or pursue any other remedy in the
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender ‘s power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to
participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; and
(f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be
derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or
sureties. The Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments,
demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of
protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the
existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.
5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary
obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the
obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to
enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a
party.
6. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution,
indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this
Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have
been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities
provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts
are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured.
7. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all
Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until
all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty
are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities
provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding
the
F-3
Form of Guaranty
foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case
may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or the Guarantor is made, or any Lender
exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the
proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been
made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not such Lender is in possession of or has
released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or
reduction. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this
Guaranty.
8. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and
indebtedness of the Borrowers owing to the Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising,
including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrowers to the Guarantor as subrogee of the
Administrative Agent or Lenders or resulting from the Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty,
to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If any Lender so
requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Guarantor shall be enforced
and performance received by the Guarantor as trustee for such Lender and the proceeds thereof shall
be paid over to the Lender on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.
9. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Guarantor
or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be
payable by the Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
10. Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) in
any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights
under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any
“workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the
preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph
shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
11. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or
modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent, Lenders and the
Guarantor. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
The
F-4
Form of Guaranty
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or
in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect
the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to
supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by the Guarantor for the
benefit of the Lenders or any term or provision thereof.
12. Condition of Borrowers. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole
responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and any other guarantor
such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and
any such other guarantor as the Guarantor requires, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender has any duty, and the Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender
at any time, to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or
financial condition of the Borrowers or any other guarantor (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the
part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose such information and any defense
relating to the failure to provide the same).
13. Setoff. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, the Lenders may
setoff and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of the Guarantor’s
accounts or deposits with the Lenders.
14. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is duly
organized and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full
capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty, and all necessary authority has been
obtained; (b) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in
accordance with its terms; (c) the making and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not
violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does not and will not result
in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any material agreement,
instrument, or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound
or affected; and (d) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and
registrations with, any governmental authority required under applicable law and regulations for
the making and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained or made and are in full force and
effect.
15. Indemnification and Survival. Without limitation on any other obligations of the
Guarantor or remedies of the Lender under this Guaranty, the Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each
Lender from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all damages, losses, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements of
internal legal counsel) that may be suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with
their terms. The obligations of the Guarantor under this
F-5
Form of Guaranty
paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of
this Guaranty.
16. GOVERNING LAW; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Guaranty shall (a)
bind the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that the Guarantor may not assign its
rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and Lenders (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), and (b) inure
to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns and the
Administrative Agent and Lenders may, without notice to the Guarantor and without affecting the
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign, sell or grant participations in the Guaranteed
Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or State court sitting in New York
City, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and (ii)
waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in
connection therewith. Service of process by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
with such action or proceeding shall be binding on the Guarantor if sent to the Guarantor by
registered or certified mail at its address specified below or such other address as from time to
time notified by the Guarantor. Subject to the confidentiality standards contained in Section
10.07 of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent and Lenders may
disclose to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in,
any of their rights or obligations of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all
information in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning the Guarantor,
this Guaranty and any security for this Guaranty. All notices and other communications to the
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight
courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier to the Guarantor at
its address set forth below or at such other address in the United States as may be specified by
the Guarantor in a written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at such office as the
Administrative Agent may designate for such purpose from time to time in a written notice to the
Guarantor.
17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
GUARANTOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT
TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE
GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. THIS GUARANTY REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY
NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN
THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
18. Special Agreement With Respect To Debt Restructuring. Notwithstanding any limitation on
liability set forth in Paragraph 1 to the contrary, if the Guaranteed Obligations
F-6
Form of Guaranty
are made subject to a debt restructuring arrangement between a country and its creditors or
creditors of persons or entities of such country, and as a result thereof the Lenders, as holder of
such Guaranteed Obligations and other credit facilities to such country, persons or entities of
such country, shall agree to provide any new credit facilities, the Guarantor shall fund (and be
the beneficial owner of) that amount of such new credit facilities which is calculated by (i)
dividing the face value of such Guaranteed Obligations by the aggregate amount of the Lenders’
credit facilities made part of the restructuring arrangement and (ii) multiplying the result by the
amount of such new credit facilities. The Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver such documents
and take such actions as may be requested by the Lenders to effect the purposes of this paragraph.
The Lenders agree to provide the Guarantor with copies of the relevant documents governing their
participation in the restructuring arrangement and new credit facilities and shall provide the
Guarantor with the basis on which it has calculated the Guarantor’s portion of such new credit
facilities, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
19. Foreign Currency. If the Administrative Agent so notifies the Guarantor in writing, at
the Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, payments under this Guaranty shall be the U.S. Dollar
equivalent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof, determined as of the date payment
is made. If any claim arising under or related to this Guaranty is reduced to judgment denominated
in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currencies in which the Guaranteed
Obligations are denominated or the currencies payable hereunder (collectively the
“Obligations Currency”), the judgment shall be for the equivalent in the Judgment Currency
of the amount of the claim denominated in the Obligations Currency included in the judgment,
determined as of the date of judgment. The equivalent of any Obligations Currency amount in any
Judgment Currency shall be calculated at the spot rate for the purchase of the Obligations Currency
with the Judgment Currency quoted by the Administrative Agent in the place of the Administrative
Agent’s choice at or about 8:00 a.m. on the date for determination specified above. The Guarantor
shall indemnify the Lenders and hold the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage
resulting from any change in exchange rates between the date any claim is reduced to judgment and
the date of payment thereof by the Guarantor or any failure of the amount of any such judgment to
be calculated as provided in this paragraph.
