The proceeds of borrowings hereunder are to be used for permitted acquisitions and for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to backstop commercial paper.

“Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%.

For purposes hereof, (i) the “Prime Rate” is a rate set by Bank of America based upon various factors including Bank of America’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate; any change in such rate announced by Bank of America shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change; and (ii) “Federal Funds Effective Rate” shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist.

Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01 Commitments to Lend. During the Revolving Credit Period each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the Company in US Dollars (in the case of both ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans) pursuant to this Section from time to time in amounts such that (a) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender at any time shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment and (b) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of the Lenders shall not exceed the aggregate Lenders’ Commitments. Each Borrowing under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Company may borrow, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.11, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period.

SECTION 2.02 Notice of Borrowing. To request a Borrowing, the Company shall give the Agent notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on (x) the date of each ABR Borrowing and (y) the third Business Day before each Eurodollar Borrowing, specifying:

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

(b) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing,

(d) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period, and

(e) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.03.

SECTION 2.03 Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

(a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share (if any) of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company.

(b) Not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of each Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section) make available its share of such Borrowing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Company at the Agent’s aforesaid address or such other location as may be specified by the Company and consented to by the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and designated by the Company in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(c) If any Lender makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which the Company is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan from such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the Agent as provided in subsection (b), or remitted by the Company to the Agent as provided in Section 2.12, as the case may be.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.03 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Lender and the Company severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Company, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount (prior to the Company’s having done so), such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, interest paid by any Lender under this Section 2.03(d) shall not be included in such Lender’s Loan or be otherwise considered a Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Company hereby agrees that the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be payable on the Maturity Date and as provided in Section 2.05. Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.06.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of

such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 2.04(e), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) and (c) of this Section 2.04 shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans made to the Company by such Lender in accordance with their terms.

(e) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Absent manifest error the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Company, the 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 any Loan Document, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.05 Maturity of Loans. Each Loan included in any Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.06 Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate plus the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

The “Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate” means for any Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Loan, a rate per annum determined by the Agent pursuant to the following formula:


		Adjusted London		Eurodollar Base Rate
		Interbank Offered Rate=

				1.00 — Eurodollar Reserve Percentage

Where,

“Eurodollar Base Rate” means, for such Interest Period, the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as designated by the Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for US Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the “Eurodollar Base Rate” for such Interest Period shall be the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the rate at which deposits in US Dollars for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the Eurodollar Loan being made, continued or converted by Bank of America and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by Bank of America’s London Branch to major banks in the London interbank eurodollar market at their request at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period.

“Eurodollar Reserve Percentage” means, for any day during any Interest Period, the reserve percentage (expressed as a decimal, carried out to five decimal places) in effect on such day, whether or not applicable to any Lender, under regulations issued from time to time by the Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to Eurodollar funding (currently referred to as “Eurodollar liabilities”). The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate for each outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall be adjusted automatically as of the effective date of any change in the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage.

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to Eurodollar Loans for such day.

(d) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the participating Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Company may elect to convert any such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue any such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Company may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Company shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.02 if the Company were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Company.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Company fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08 Fees.

(a) Facility Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent in US Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders, facility fees at the relevant Facility Fee Rate specified in the definition of Applicable Rate. Such facility fees shall accrue (i) from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which the Commitments are terminated in their entirety, on the daily aggregate amount of the Commitments (whether used or unused) and (ii) from and including the date on which the Commitments are terminated in their entirety to but excluding the date on which the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety, on the daily aggregate amount of the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans. Accrued facility fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and upon the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if Loans shall be outstanding thereafter, the date on which the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety), provided that if any Loans shall be outstanding after the Maturity Date, then such facility fee shall be payable on demand.

(b) Utilization Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent in US Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders, utilization fees at the relevant Utilization Fee Rate specified in the definition of Applicable Rate, on the amounts of the outstanding Loans of the Lenders for each day on which the aggregate amount of the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans shall be greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Accrued utilization fees, if any, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, on the date on which the Commitments terminate and, if later, on the date the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety.

SECTION 2.09 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce the Commitments from time to time by an aggregate amount at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple; provided that the outstanding Loans that would exceed the reduced Commitments must be prepaid together with any redeployment costs payable pursuant to Section 2.13. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.09 shall be permanent.

SECTION 2.10 Mandatory Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.11 Prepayments. (a) The Company may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Agent, prepay any ABR Borrowing or Eurodollar Borrowing in whole at any time or from time to time in part in amounts at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum that are multiples of the Borrowing Multiple, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Company shall promptly prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount in excess of such aggregate amount of the Commitments. The Agent shall promptly notify (a) the Company in the event it determines that any prepayment is required under this paragraph and (b) each Lender of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment.

(c) If prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan occurs other than at the end of an applicable Interest Period, then the prepayment will be subject to compensation in respect to redeployment costs as provided in Section 2.13. Each prepayment under this Section 2.11 shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in such prepaid Borrowings.

(d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a), the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company.

(e) In addition to any required prepayments of principal set forth in this Section 2.11, a prepayment of Loans shall be made from time to time in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate commitments or availability in excess of (x) $600,000,000 (the “Excess Commitment Amount”) and (y) thereafter any additional increase in the Excess Commitment Amount, in each instance under all senior credit facilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries excluding the aggregate commitments or availability under the Credit Agreement dated as of November 26, 2002 between Dover Corporation (Canada) Limited and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as amended. Each payment required by this paragraph (e) shall be made on the first Business Day that there is an Excess Commitment Amount, or any increase in the Excess Commitment Amount (each an “Excess Commitment Event”). The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment. Upon each Excess Commitment Event, the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Excess Commitment Amount, or the increase in the Excess Commitment Amount, as the case may be. Any reduction of the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its ratable share.

SECTION 2.12 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Company shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder or under any other Loan Document, not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.01 or at such other offices as the Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Company. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, but in no event later than the Maturity Date, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Eurodollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month or is beyond the Maturity Date, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. All payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document that the Company will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Company shall not have so made such payment, each Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(c) Any payment required to be made to the Company by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make

such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment.

SECTION 2.13 Funding Losses. In the event of the payment of any amount of principal with respect to any Eurodollar Loan (pursuant to Article VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Company fails to borrow any Eurodollar Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), the Company shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Company a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense and accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest hereunder computed by reference to the Alternative Base Rate at times when the Alternative Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 8.01 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing the Required Lenders advise the Agent that the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Agent agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist), the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.

SECTION 8.02 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Loans and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Company, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Company and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist), the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurodollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Company shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurodollar Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Eurodollar Loan, the Company shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Lender (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders), and such Lender shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 8.03 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) under any Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is being entered into by the Lenders on the understanding that the Lenders will not be required to maintain capital against their Commitments under currently applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the Lenders shall be advised by any governmental authority or shall otherwise determine on the basis of pronouncements of any government authority that such understanding is incorrect, it is agreed that the Lenders will be entitled to make claims under this paragraph (b) based upon market requirements prevailing on the date hereof for commitments under comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained.

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any such certificate shall contain a statement as to the calculation of such amount, provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any information it considers, in its sole discretion, to be confidential.

SECTION 8.04 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Company to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Company shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt (or such other satisfactory evidence as may be available to the Company) evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes, and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(d) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), deliver to the Company a properly executed Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest (and specifying such reduced rate of withholding) or that the income receivable pursuant to each Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided (or which should have been provided) by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates (or should have indicated) a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a).

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Company with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes solely because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f) If a Lender has knowledge that the Company would otherwise become required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Lender will change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) If any Lender has knowledge of the imposition of any Taxes for which the Company is required to indemnify such Lender under this Section 8.04, such Lender shall notify the Company within 30 Business Days of obtaining such knowledge of such imposition. If the Lender has failed to notify the Company as required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Company does not otherwise have knowledge of the imposition of such Taxes, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify such Lender for any Taxes which accrued prior to the Company’s obtaining such knowledge.

(h) If any Lender shall receive any net tax benefit by reason of payments of additional amounts by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.04 which, in the sole judgment of such Lender, it would not otherwise have been able to obtain, such Lender

shall pay to the Company the amount of such net benefit, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion. Nothing herein shall be construed to require any Lender to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs.

SECTION 8.05 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Eurodollar Loans and the Company shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist):

(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders), and

(b) after each of its Eurodollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

SECTION 8.06 Substitution of Lender. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Company shall have the right to cause such Lender to transfer its Commitment to a bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Lenders) which is reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Agent.

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective when received.

(b) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE COMPANY MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Company, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s or the Agent’s transmission of Company Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Company, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

SECTION 10.02 No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents, any waiver or consent under any Loan Document or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default under any Loan Document and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Lender, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any such losses,

liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred (i) as the result of any such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) by a Lender, its affiliates or the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing in connection with a proceeding with any other Lender or any Assignee or Participant that (x) arises in connection with an assignment, participation or other transfer pursuant to Section 10.06, (y) does not relate to any action taken or failed to be taken by the Company and (z) does not relate to any right or obligation of the Company.

SECTION 10.04 Sharing of Set-Offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Company other than its indebtedness under the Loans. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 10.05 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Lenders, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Lenders) or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, except as provided below, (iii) extend the Maturity Date or postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) amend Section 10.04 or this Section 10.05 or (vi) change the provisions of Article IX of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of Section 10.05 without the consent of the Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all (such proportionate part to include a Commitment of not less than $5,000,000), of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of the Company (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Lender, no such consent shall be required. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.04.

(d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank without the consent of any other party. No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Lending Office under certain circumstances.

SECTION 10.07 Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 10.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The Company hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 10.09 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective on the date which is the later of (i) September 1, 2005, and (ii) the date on which the Agent has received counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, telegraphic or other written confirmation from such party in form satisfactory to the Agent of the execution of a counterpart hereof by such party), provided that the obligation of the Lenders hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01.

SECTION 10.10 Arm’s-Length Commercial Transaction. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Commitments hereunder and any related arranging or other services described in this Agreement are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and its affiliates, on the one hand, and Bank of America and the Lead Arranger, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of Bank of America and the Lead Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) neither Bank of America nor the Lead Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in the Company’s or the Company’s affiliates’ favor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether Bank of America

or the Lead Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Company’s affiliates on other matters) and neither Bank of America nor the Lead Arranger has any obligation to the Company or the Company’s affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) Bank of America and the Lead Arranger, and their respective affiliates, may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from the Company’s and the Company’s affiliates and Bank of America and the Lead Arranger have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) Bank of America and the Lead Arranger have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Company has deemed appropriate. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against Bank of America and the Lead Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

SECTION 10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 10.12 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.13 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company in accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 10.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process and promptly after receipt thereof notify the

Company of the receipt of such subpoena or other legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, and upon prior notice to the Company, 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 (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company. 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.

_______________, 20__

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to ______or registered assigns (the “Lender”), in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal amount of each Loan from time to time made by the Lender to the Company under that certain 364-Day Credit Agreement, dated as of September ___, 2005 (as amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), among the Company, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

The Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Agreement.

If any amount is not paid in full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Agreement.

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Agreement and is entitled to the benefits thereof. Reference is made to the Agreement for provisions for the mandatory and optional prepayment hereof and the acceleration of the maturity hereof.

Re: 364-Dav Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am General Counsel of Dover Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with 364-Day Credit Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Lenders listed on the signature pages thereof and Bank of America, N.A., as Agent. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 4.01 (a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement.

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its Subsidiaries. I am not the General Counsel of any of the Subsidiaries, but the Subsidiaries report to me regularly on material litigation and/or contingencies and review other legal matters with me from time to time.

I have examined the Credit Agreement and the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below.

In such examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

As to various questions of fact material to the opinions rendered herein, I have relied upon the statements and representations in the documents which I have examined. I have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the documents that I have examined by each party thereto other than the Company, that each such party other than the Company has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its obligations under each such document to which it is a party, that each such document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of each such other party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and that each such party other than the Company has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such documents enforceable against it.

Based upon my examination, as described above, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and in good standing and has a legal corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified and in good standing in each other jurisdiction in the United States where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. The Company has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, the failure to have which would not have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement are within the Company’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement will not (a) require the consent, approval or authorization of, or any registration, declaration or filing with, the State of New York or the United States of America, or any of their respective agencies, other than filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (b) violate any statute or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America applicable to the Company.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement will not contravene, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument actually known to me and binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto. Based on factual information provided by the Company, the Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto are all the Company’s Subsidiaries incorporated in any jurisdiction within the United States which fall within the definition of a “significant subsidiary” contained as of the date hereof in Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

5. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

6. To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against or threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official, in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Credit Agreement.

7. Each of the Company’s corporate Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, the failure to have which would not have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

8. The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

In giving the opinions expressed above, I express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions indemnifying a party for its own wrongful or negligent acts or where the indemnification is contrary to public policy. I also wish to point out that the enforceability of provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

B-3
Opinion of Counsel for the Company

September 1, 2005

My opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Credit Agreement may be limited or otherwise affected by (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity, including (1) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (2) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The opinions set forth above are rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by or furnished to any other person without my prior written consent.


		Very truly yours,

		/s/ Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
