Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Committed Loans in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars and/or Canadian Dollars be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable.

2.2.4 Notice of Rates. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate, and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the applicable Lenders of any change in the Canadian Administrative Agent’s reference rate used in determining the Canadian Prime Rate, in each case promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3.7(b), no Lender shall be required to refund a Swing Line Loan and/or to purchase a participation interest in a Swing Line Loan, in each case pursuant to this Section 2.3, if, at least two Business Days prior to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swing Line Lender received written notice from such Lender specifying that such Lender believed in good faith that one or more of the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan were not satisfied (and detailing its basis for such good faith belief) and, in fact, such conditions precedent to the making of such Loan were not satisfied at the time of the making of such Loan; provided that the obligation of such Lender to make such Loan and/or to purchase such participation interest shall be reinstated upon the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender notifies the applicable Swing Line Lender that its prior notice has been withdrawn or (ii) on the first date after the making of such Swing Line Loan on which all conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Line Loan have been satisfied (or waived by the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Participation Funding Notice. Each Lender shall (or shall cause an Affiliate to) (i) in the case of Canadian Loans, promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) after receipt of such Notice, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders an amount in the applicable currencies and in Same Day Funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Canadian Loans and (ii) with respect to participations in Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, on or before the maturity date of each Canadian Banker’s Acceptance, make available to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders an amount in Canadian Dollars and in Same Day Funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Canadian Banker’s Acceptance. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders the full amount of such Lender’s participations in all Canadian Loans and Canadian Banker’s Acceptances by the applicable date set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to fund such participations, from such date to the date such Lender pays such obligations in full, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate in effect from time to time during such period.

(c) From and after the date on which a Canadian Lender has delivered to the Administrative Agent a Participation Funding Notice, all funds received by the Canadian Lenders in payment of the Canadian Loans and Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, interest accrued thereon and other amounts payable in respect thereof shall be delivered by each Canadian Lender to the Administrative Agent, in the same funds as those received by such Canadian Lender, to be distributed to all Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (i.e., giving effect to the funding of participations pursuant to this Section 2.4), except that (i) the Pro Rata Share of such funds of any Lender that has not funded its participations as provided herein shall be retained by such Canadian Lender, and (ii) interest accrued on any portion of any Canadian Loan prior to the Lenders’ funding of their respective participations therein shall be retained by such Canadian Lender.

2.4.4 Obligations Unconditional. Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participation interests in Canadian Loans and Canadian Banker’s Acceptances pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, a Default or a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender; (iv) any inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which any Canadian Loan or Canadian Banker’s Acceptance is to be refunded or any participation interest in any Loan is to be purchased; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.4.6 Effect of Currency Fluctuations. If at any time the Outstanding Amount of all Canadian Loans and Canadian Banker’s Acceptances exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Canadian Commitments then in effect, the Administrative Agent may (or, at the request of any Canadian Lender, shall) notify the Company of such excess and, then, within three Business Days after receipt of such notice, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall prepay Canadian Loans (and/or Cash Collateralize Canadian Banker’s Acceptances) in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount to an amount not exceeding 100% of the Canadian Commitments.

2.4.7 Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (a) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of

calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (b) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (c) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

2.4.8 Prepayment. A Canadian Banker’s Acceptance may only be repaid on its maturity date.

2.4.9 Power of Attorney. To facilitate the procedures contemplated in this Agreement, each Canadian Borrower appoints each Canadian Lender from time to time as the attorney-in-fact of such Canadian Borrower to execute, endorse and deliver on behalf of such Canadian Borrower drafts or depository bills in the form or forms prescribed by such Canadian Lender for Canadian Banker’s Acceptances. Each Canadian Banker’s Acceptance executed and delivered by a Canadian Lender on behalf of a Canadian Borrower shall be as binding upon such Canadian Borrower as if it had been executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of such Canadian Borrower. The foregoing appointment shall cease to be effective, in respect of any Canadian Lender regarding such Canadian Borrower, three Business Days following receipt by such Canadian Lender of a written notice from such Canadian Borrower revoking such appointment (which notice shall be copied to the Administrative Agent); provided that any such revocation shall not affect any Canadian Banker’s Acceptances previously executed and delivered by such Canadian Lender pursuant to such appointment.

(vi) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Defaulting Lender Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Defaulting Lender Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(d) No Issuing Bank shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank would not be permitted, or otherwise would not have an obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(e) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(f) Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and L/C-Related Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included each Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Banks.

2.5.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(a) Each Letter of Credit shall be Issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such L/C Application must be received by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 10:00 a.m. at least two Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars, and (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. at least five Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Available Foreign Currency; or in each case such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial Issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed Issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency 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; and (G) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (y) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (z) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any L/C-Related Documents, as such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(b) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Company and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank 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 to extend the expiry date or increase the amount thereof, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company and/or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’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 applicable Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(c) If the Company so requests in any applicable L/C Application, an Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank 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 applicable Issuing Bank, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date permitted by Section 2.5.1(b)(ii); provided that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank 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 Section 2.5.1(b) or (c) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, the Company or, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.3 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

(d) If the Company so requests in any applicable L/C Application, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the applicable Issuing Bank to decline to

reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), such Issuing Bank shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline from the Administrative Agent, the Company or, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.3 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause (d) and, in each case, directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such reinstatement.

(e) 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 applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

2.5.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, the Company shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in such currency, unless (i) such Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in US Dollars, or (ii) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in US Dollars, the Company shall have notified such Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse such Issuing Bank in US Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in US Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in another currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in US Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in a Foreign Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency; provided that, if the Company does not receive written notice of the amount required to be paid prior to 9:00 a.m. on such Honor Date with respect to any Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in US Dollars, then the Company will reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day after the Honor Date (in which case such reimbursement shall include interest for the period from the Honor Date to the date of reimbursement at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans or, if such reimbursement obligations are denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the applicable Overnight Rate plus (ii) the Applicable Margin plus (iii) any Mandatory Costs). If the Company fails to so reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in US Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Company 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 2.2 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 4.3 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.5.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(b) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.5.3(a) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in US Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than noon on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5.3(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank in US Dollars, or if requested by such Issuing Bank, the equivalent amount thereof in another Available Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of such funding date) for the purchase of such Available Currency with US Dollars.

(c) 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 4.3 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank 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 applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.5.3(b) 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 2.5.

(d) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.5.3 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.5.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable Issuing Bank, the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 (other than delivery by the Company of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or

otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5.3 by the time specified in Section 2.5.3(b), the applicable Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.5.4 Repayment of Participations.

(a) At any time after an Issuing Bank 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 2.5.3, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.5.3(a) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share 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 applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (b) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.5.5 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary 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 applicable Issuing Bank 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;

(c) 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;

(d) any payment by such Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank 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;

(e) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Available Foreign Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(f) 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, the Company or any Subsidiary.

The Company 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 the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

2.5.6 Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank 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 L/C-Related Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s or any Subsidiary’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 Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 2.5.5; provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company and/or, if applicable, the relevant Subsidiary may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and an Issuing Bank may be liable to the Company and for, if applicable, the relevant Subsidiary, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company and/or any such Subsidiary which the Company proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s unlawful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a 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, any Issuing Bank 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 no Issuing Bank shall 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.

2.5.7 Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if an Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Company shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

(b) In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within three Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided to the extent necessary in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

2.5.8 Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Company (or stated in the applicable Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (b) 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.

2.5.9 Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, in US Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the L/C Fee Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with Section 1.7); provided that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a

Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19, with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) 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. If there is any change in the L/C Fee Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the L/C Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such L/C Fee Rate 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.

2.5.10 Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Bank. The Company shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account, in US Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum separately agreed to by the Company and such Issuing Bank, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with Section 1.7). In addition, the Company shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank 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.

2.5.11 Conflict with L/C-Related Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any L/C-Related Document, the terms hereof shall control.

2.5.12 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 Company shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for all drawings under such Letter of Credit as if such Letter of Credit were issued in support of obligations of, or for the account of, the Company. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

The Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments to an amount not less than the then Total Outstandings (it being understood that such termination or reduction may be conditioned upon the consummation of replacement financing); provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in the amount of US$5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments. Once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.7, the Commitments may not be increased (except pursuant to Section 2.17). Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All facility fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. If the Aggregate Commitments terminate pursuant to Section 2.7 and the Borrowers have paid all amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification and similar obligations not yet due and obligations that are Cash Collateralized), then this Agreement shall terminate (except for provisions hereof that survive termination hereof).

2.8.1 Repayment of Committed Loans and Canadian Loans. The Borrowers shall repay each Committed Loan and each Canadian Loan in full on the Maturity Date.

2.8.2 Repayment of Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan in full on the earliest of (i) demand of the applicable Swing Line Lender on any Business Day (provided that if such demand is made after 10:00 a.m. (local time) on a Business Day, then the Borrowers shall repay the applicable Swing Line Loan on the next Business Day), (ii) the tenth day after the making of such Swing Line Loan (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and (iii) the Maturity Date.

2.9 Interest.

2.9.1 Interest Rates. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9.2, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Margin plus (C) (if such Loan is made from a Lending Office located in a Participating Member State or the United Kingdom) the Mandatory Cost; (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; (iii) each Committed Loan that is a Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (iv) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.3.

2.9.2 Default Rate. After acceleration of the Loans, and upon the request of the Required Lenders at any time (and for so long as) an Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

2.9.3 Interest Payments. 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.

2.9.4 Minimum Interest; Increased Interest.

(a) By entering into this Agreement, the Lenders and the Loan Parties have assumed that the interest payable under this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. Therefore, the Parent and each Borrower acknowledge and agree that the interest rates set forth in (and calculated in accordance with) this Section 2.9 shall constitute minimum interest rates.

(b) If (i) contrary to the assumptions of the Lenders and the Loan Parties, Swiss Withholding Tax is to be due on any payment of interest due by a Swiss Loan Party and (ii) it is unlawful for such Swiss Loan Party to make a tax gross up in accordance with Section 3.1.1(c) for any reason, then such interest payment due by such Swiss Loan Party shall be increased to an amount that (after the deduction of the Swiss Withholding Tax) results in a payment to the applicable Recipient of an amount equal to the payment that would have been due had no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax been required. For such purpose, the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be calculated on the full grossed up interest amount.

2.10 Fees.

2.10.1 Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee equal to the Facility Fee Rate times (i) prior to the Maturity Date, the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Commitments, regardless of usage, and (ii) thereafter, if applicable, the Total Outstandings. The facility fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date (and thereafter until the Total Outstandings are reduced to zero) and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Facility Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Facility Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Facility Fee Rate was in effect. The facility fee shall accrue at all times on and after the Closing Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.

2.10.2 Ticking Fee. If the Closing Date does not occur on or prior to October 5, 2012, then commencing on such date and continuing until the earlier of the Closing Date and the date of the termination of the Commitments, Pentair agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a ticking fee of 20.0 basis points per annum on the amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Such ticking fee shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Closing Date and the date of the termination of the Commitments (and on December 31, 2012 if the Closing Date has not occurred prior to such date and the Commitments remain outstanding).

2.10.3 Arrangement and Agency Fees. The Company (or Pentair, if applicable) shall pay arrangement fees to each Arranger for its own account and shall pay an agency fee to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account, in each case in the amounts and at the times agreed to by the relevant parties.

2.10.4 Upfront Fee. The Company (or Pentair, if applicable) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Closing Date an upfront fee in the amount previously agreed to by such parties.

2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans computed based on Bank of America’s “prime rate” and on Loans denominated in British

Pounds Sterling shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Except as provided in the definition of Canadian Prime Rate, all other computations of interest and all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee thereof than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days or on such other basis as the Administrative Agent shall determine is customary for the relevant currency. 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 bear interest for one day.

2.12 Evidence of Debt.

2.12.1 Record of Credit Extensions. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to any applicable Loan. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of such Lender shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Committed Loans and/or Canadian Loans may be evidenced by a Committed Note and/or a Canadian Note, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to any such Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of Loans thereunder and payments with respect thereto.

2.12.2 Record of Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.12.1, 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, Swing Line Loans, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and Fronting 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 demonstrable error.

2.13 Payments.

2.13.1 Payments Generally. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of principal and interest on any Loan denominated in another currency, in such other currency) and in Same Day Funds not later than 12:00 noon, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (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 the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

2.13.2 Due Date Extension. If any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day (unless, in the case of a payment of interest on a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, such next following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day), and any such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

2.13.3 Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender to the extent required to be reimbursed hereunder, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

2.13.4 Clawback. Unless any Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:

(a) if such Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, at the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and

(b) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with (A) interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect and (B) such other compensatory amounts as may be required to be paid by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Rules for Interbank Compensation of the Council on International Banking or the Clearinghouse Compensation Committee, as applicable, as in effect from time to time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan

included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon such Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing in this clause (b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13.4 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Upon any Lender failing to make such payment required to be made by such Lender under this Agreement, the Company may remove or replace such Lender in accordance with Section 9.12.

2.13.5 Return of Funds. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

2.13.6 Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and to fund participations in Swing Line Loans, Letters of Credit, Canadian Loans and Canadian Banker’s Acceptances are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or to fund any such participation 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 or purchase its participation.

2.13.7 Discretion as to Manner of Funding. 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.

2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off 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, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances 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, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances 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, provided that:

(a) 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

(b) the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 7.3, (C) 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, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall apply) or (D) receipt by any Fronting Lender of any payment for the account of any Non-Qualified Lender or any Cash Collateral applied to repay any Fronting Loan (it being understood that no repayment of a Fronting Loan by the application of Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender shall repay the applicable Committed Loan made by such Fronting Lender, but such Committed Loan shall thereafter be deemed to be held by the applicable Non-Qualified Lender).

Each Borrower consents 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 such Borrower rights of set-off 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.

2.15 Addition of Loan Parties; Fronting Arrangements.

2.15.1 Closing Date Accessions. On the Closing Date, prior to or concurrently with the initial Credit Extension, the Parent, the Confirmed Eligible Affiliates and the Company shall become parties hereto pursuant to the Closing Date Accession Agreement.

2.15.2 Other Accessions. The Company may from time to time on or after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall identify the proposed Borrower and its jurisdiction of organization), request that any other Eligible Affiliate become a Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward a copy of any such notice to each Lender. Within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent either (i) that it is not a Non-Qualified Lender or a Non-Participating Lender with respect to such Eligible Affiliate or (ii) if it is a Non-Qualified Lender or a Non-Participating Lender with respect to such Eligible Affiliate, of the details of and basis for such status (and any Lender that fails to provide such notice shall, subject to receipt of notice to the contrary from such Lender, be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Lender and a Non-Participating Lender with respect to such Eligible Affiliate). The determination by each Lender of its status as a Non-Qualified Lender and/or a Non-Participating Lender shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. If there are no Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to an Eligible Affiliate, then such Eligible Affiliate may become a Borrower hereunder; provided that (i) such Eligible Affiliate and the Company shall have delivered a Borrower Accession Agreement to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Lender) not later than five Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such designation; (ii) to the extent

requested by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself or any Lender) in writing at least five Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such designation, the Company shall have delivered all documents and information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” rules and regulations with respect to the proposed Borrower; and (iii) prior to the making of any Credit Extension to such Borrower, such Borrower shall have satisfied the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.4; and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such designation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.15.3 Fronting Loans. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that there are one or more Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to a proposed Eligible Affiliate but that there are no Non-Participating Lenders with respect to such Eligible Affiliate, then the Company may request that one or more other Lenders provide Loans to such Eligible Affiliate on behalf of each applicable Non-Qualified Lender (any such Loan, a “Fronting Loan”). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to provide Fronting Loans. If, in response to such request, one or more Lenders (each a “Fronting Lender”) agree, in their sole and complete discretion, to provide Fronting Loans to such Eligible Affiliate, then such Eligible Affiliate may become a Borrower hereunder and, upon any request for Loans to be made to such Borrower, the applicable Fronting Lenders shall (in addition to their own Committed Loans to such Borrower) make Fronting Loans on behalf of the Non-Qualified Lenders to such Borrower; provided that each Fronting Lender with respect to a Borrower shall specify the aggregate amount of Fronting Loans that such Fronting Lender is willing to make to such Borrower (such amount, such Fronting Lender’s “Fronting Commitment” with respect to such Borrower) and, after giving effect to any Borrowing by such Borrower, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender to such Borrower shall not exceed such Fronting Lender’s Fronting Commitment to such Borrower. All Fronting Loans to a Borrower shall be made ratably by the applicable Fronting Lenders according to their Fronting Portions with respect to such Borrower.

2.15.4 Participations in Fronting Loans.

(a) Immediately upon the making of a Fronting Loan to a Borrower, each applicable Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in such Fronting Lender’s ratable share (based upon the percentage that the Commitment of such Non-Qualified Lender is of the Commitments of all Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to such Borrower). The purchase of such risk participation in each applicable Fronting Loan by a Non-Qualified Lender shall satisfy such Non-Qualified Lender’s funding requirements under Section 2.1 with respect to the applicable Borrowing.

(b) The Required Lenders, the Fronting Lenders and the Administrative Agent may agree on any other reasonable method (such as making assignments of Fronting Loans or making cross assignments of Fronting Loans and other Loans) for sharing the risks of Fronting Loans ratably among all Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares so long as such method does not materially disadvantage any Lender (in which case the remaining provisions of this Section 2,15 may be appropriately modified by such parties).

2.15.5 Funding of Participations. On the Trigger Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each applicable

Fronting Loan. Upon receipt of such notice, each Non-Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable Fronting Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, for the respective accounts of the applicable Fronting Lenders in accordance with their respective Fronting Portions, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than the Applicable Time on the Business Day specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than two Business Days following the giving of such notice). If any applicable Non-Qualified Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any amount required to be paid by such Lender by the time specified in the foregoing sentence, then each applicable Fronting Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover from such Non-Qualified Lender, on demand, interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

2.15.6 Distribution of Payments. If, at any time after any Non-Qualified Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Fronting Loan, the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account of such Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) will distribute to such Non-Qualified Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Non-Qualified Lender’s participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such Fronting Lender. If any such payment received by a Fronting Lender and paid to a Non-Qualified Lender is required to be returned by such Fronting Lender as a result of any circumstance described in Section 9.5, such Non-Qualified Lender shall, upon demand of such Fronting Lender, pay to such Fronting Lender (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) in the applicable currency the amount of such payment plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is paid at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. The obligations of the Non-Qualified Lenders under the foregoing sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.15.7 Payments for the account of Fronting Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until a Non-Qualified Lender funds its risk participation in any Fronting Loan, all payments hereunder in respect of such Fronting Loan shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.

2.15.8 Effect of Defaulting Lender on Fronting Arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then, unless such Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient, or other arrangements have been made, to cover the exposure of the Fronting Lenders to such Defaulting Lender (which arrangements shall be reasonably satisfactory to each applicable Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent), (i) no Fronting Lender shall be required to make any Fronting Loan and (ii) if any Fronting Lender makes (through the Administrative Agent) a demand for repayment from a Borrower to which such Fronting Lender has outstanding Fronting Loans, then such Borrower shall repay each of its outstanding Loans on or before the earlier of (A) 30 days following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth day following the last day of each applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand.

2.16 Termination of Affiliate Borrowers. Any Borrower, other than the Company, shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder at such time as (a) no Credit Extensions shall be

outstanding to such Borrower (and such Borrower has no outstanding requests for Credit Extensions) and (b) such Borrower and the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrower Termination Agreement. If a Borrower liquidates, dissolves or ceases to be an Eligible Affiliate, all Credit Extensions outstanding to such Borrower shall be due and payable and such Borrower shall no longer be entitled to obtain any Credit Extensions hereunder.

2.17 Optional Increase in Commitments.

2.17.1 Option to Increase. The Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) may from time to time (but not more than five times during the term of this Agreement), by means of a letter to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit D, request that the amount of the Aggregate Commitments be increased by (a) increasing the amount of the Commitment of any Lender that has agreed to such increase and/or (b) adding an Eligible Assignee as a party hereto with a Commitment in an amount agreed to by any such Person; provided that (i) no Eligible Assignee shall be added as a party hereto without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lenders and any applicable Fronting Lender (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all increases in the Aggregate Commitments exceed US$500,000,000 in the aggregate without the written consent of all the Lenders. Any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be effective three Business Days (or such other period of time as the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair), the Administrative Agent and the increasing or new Lender shall agree) after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received and accepted the applicable increase letter in the form of Attachment I to Exhibit D (in the case of an increase in the Commitment of an existing Lender) or assumption letter in the form Attachment II to Exhibit D (in the case of the addition of an Eligible Assignee as a new Lender). Prior to the effectiveness of any such increase, the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the authorization of the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) to increase the Aggregate Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing; no increase shall be permitted if (x) any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) the amount of Aggregate Commitments following such increase would not be an integral multiple of US$5,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) and the Lenders of any increase in the amount of the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 and of the amount of the Commitment and the Pro Rata Share of each Lender after giving effect thereto. The Company acknowledges that, in order to maintain Loans in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Aggregate Commitments may require prepayment of all or portions of certain Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5).

2.17.2 Procedures for Increases in Aggregate Commitments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders may make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such parties so that one or more applicable Lenders temporarily hold risk participations in Credit Extensions of other applicable Lenders (rather than requiring that all outstanding Credit Extensions to the applicable

Borrower immediately be held by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) with a view toward minimizing breakage costs and transfers of funds in connection with any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17.

2.18 Resignation or Removal of Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) if at any time an Issuing Bank or a Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 9.6.2, then it may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as an Issuing Bank or a Swing Line Lender, as applicable; and (b) the Company may from time to time, upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, remove an Issuing Bank or a Swing Lender from such capacity. In the event of any such resignation or removal, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender; provided that (i) the Lender so appointed has agreed to act in such capacity and has been approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); and (ii) no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation or removal of the existing Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Upon any resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank, (x) the retiring Issuing Bank shall retain all rights and obligations available to an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation or removal 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) and (y) the Company shall, upon request, provide Cash Collateral satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to secure its obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Issuing Bank, (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and such duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (y) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Issuing Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (z) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit of the retiring Issuing Bank, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession (in which case the retiring Issuing Bank shall release any Cash Collateral provided by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon the resignation or removal of a Swing Line Lender, the retiring Swing Line Lender shall retain all the rights of a 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 or removal, 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 2.3. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as a Swing Line Lender, (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and such duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender, (y) the retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as a Swing Line Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) the successor Swing Line Lender shall make arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Swing Line Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Swing Line Lender with respect to Swing Line Loans made by the retiring Swing Line Lender outstanding at the time of such succession.

2.19 Defaulting Lenders.

2.19.1 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.1.

(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or Swing Line Lenders hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Bank or a Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19.1(b) or Section 2.20 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to the foregoing.

(c) Certain Fees. A Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.10.1 or ticking fee pursuant to Section 2.10.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender except to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans funded by it and (2) its Pro Rata Share of the

Outstanding Amount of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.4, Section 2.5, or Section 2.20 and (3) the outstanding amount of all Fronting Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to arrangements agreed upon pursuant to Section 2.15.6, as applicable (and the Company shall (A) be required to pay (x) to each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Defaulting Lender Exposure arising from such Defaulting Lender and (y) to each Fronting Lender, the fee allocable to the principal amount of each Fronting Loan made by such Fronting Lender on behalf of such Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.5.9.

(d) Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce Defaulting Lender Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.5, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that Lender.

2.19.2 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.19.1(d)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.20 Additional Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Defaulting Lender Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.19.1(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by or in respect of such Defaulting Lender).

2.20.1 Certain Procedures for Cash Collateral. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.20.2. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided (other than inchoate tax and ERISA Liens and customary Liens in favor of a depositary bank for fees and charges), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Defaulting Lender Exposure, the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lenders).

2.20.2 Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.20 or Section 2.19.1(b) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

2.20.3 Return of Cash Collateral. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Defaulting Lender Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20, and shall promptly be returned to the Company, following (i) the elimination of the applicable Defaulting Lender Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.19, the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Defaulting Lender Exposure or other obligations.

2.21 Use of Canadian Commitments.

2.21.1 Requests for or Increases in Canadian Commitments. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Company may from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that the Lenders provide, or increase the amount of their respective, Canadian Commitments; provided that (i) the Company may make a maximum of five such requests during the term of this Agreement, (ii) each such request shall be in an integral multiple of US$5,000,000 and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Canadian Commitments shall not at any time exceed US$75,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (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).

2.21.2 Option to Provide or Increase Canadian Commitments. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within the time period specified pursuant to Section 2.21.1 whether or not it agrees to provide a, or to increase the amount of its, Canadian Commitment and, if so, of the maximum Canadian Commitment that such Lender is willing to have after the provision of, or the increase in, the Canadian Commitments pursuant to the Company’s request (which may be equal to, greater than or less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Canadian Commitments assuming the Lenders provide Canadian Commitments in the full amount requested by the Company). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide a, or to increase the amount of its, Canadian Commitment.

2.21.3 Effectiveness of Canadian Commitments and Increases Therein. Promptly after the expiration of the time period specified pursuant to 2.21.1, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine (subject to Section 2.21.4) the date on which the Canadian Commitments, or the increase in the Canadian Commitments, shall become effective (each such date, a “CC Effective Date”) and the final allocation of the Canadian Commitments upon such effectiveness; provided that after giving effect to such allocation, the Canadian Commitment of each Lender that has agreed to provide a, or to increase the amount of its, Canadian Commitment shall be at least equal to than the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Commitments and (ii) the maximum amount specified by such Lender pursuant to 2.21.2. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each CC Effective Date and of the Canadian Percentage and the amount of the Canadian Commitment of each Canadian Lender after giving effect thereto.

2.21.4 Limitations on Canadian Commitments. No CC Effective Date may occur unless the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the authorization of each Canadian Borrower to obtain Credit Extensions in an amount up to the amount of the Canadian Commitments that would be in effect upon the occurrence of such CC Effective Date.

2.21.5 Certain Procedures for Increases in Canadian Commitments. The Company acknowledges that, in order to maintain Canadian Loans in accordance with each Canadian Lender’s Canadian Percentage, a reallocation of the Canadian Commitments as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Canadian Commitments may require prepayment of all or portions of certain Canadian Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5). To the extent that any Borrowing of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances is outstanding on the date of a non-pro-rata increase in the Canadian Commitments, the implementation of such increase with respect to such Borrowing shall be deferred until such Canadian Banker’s Acceptances mature in accordance with the terms thereof.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.1 Taxes.

3.1.1 Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(b) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 3.1.5, (B) the Administrative 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, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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 3.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(c) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 3.1.5, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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 3.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

3.1.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of this Section 3.1.1, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

3.1.3 Tax Indemnifications. (a) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such

payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.1.3(b).

(b) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (i) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (b).

3.1.4 Evidence of Payments; Documentation for Refund.

(a) Upon request by the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.1, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company, 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 Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(b) Upon request by any Recipient after any payment of Swiss Withholding Tax by any Swiss Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.1, such Swiss Loan Party shall provide to the Administrative Agent all documents required by Law or any applicable double taxation treaty for such Recipient to prepare a claim for the refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.

3.1.5 Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the

Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.1.5(b)(i), (ii) or (iv)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower 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 becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower 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 becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(c) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.1 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

3.1.6 Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any

refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. If any Recipient reasonably determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.1 to the extent that the payment of such amount would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 3.1 shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

3.1.7 Representation with Respect to Swiss Tax Status. Without limiting any other provision of this Section 3.1, each Lender (i) represents and warrants to the Borrowers that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a party hereto), such Lender (A) is a Swiss Qualifying Lender and (B) has not entered into a participation arrangement with respect to this Agreement with any Person that is not a Swiss Qualifying Lender; and (ii) agrees that such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company if for any reason it ceases to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender.

3.1.8 Limitation on Liability for Swiss Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no Swiss Loan Party shall be required to make a tax gross up or a tax indemnity payment under this Agreement, or an increased interest payment, to a Lender or an assignee, transferee or participant thereof in respect of Swiss Withholding Tax due on interest payments or other payments by any Swiss Loan Party under this Agreement as a direct result of such Lender, assignee, transferee or participant (i) breaching its representations and warranties in Section 3.1.7(i), (ii) failing to comply with the limitations on assignments, transfers and participations set forth herein or (iii) failing to provide a timely notice required by Section 3.1.7(ii). In the event of any such breach that has not been cured as of the applicable payment date, the applicable Swiss Loan Party shall be entitled to (A) deduct such Swiss Withholding Tax from any interest payment or other payment due from it to any Recipient under this Agreement or (B) be promptly reimbursed by such Recipient for any Swiss Withholding Tax amount due from such Swiss Loan Party in relation to interest paid or any other payment to such Recipient under this Agreement if the interest payment or such other payment was already made by such Swiss Loan Party without a deduction for the relevant Swiss Withholding Tax amount.

3.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in US

Dollars or another currency) or to accept Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, US Dollars or any other applicable currency in the applicable interbank market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to convert Base Rate Committed Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or to accept Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (and each Lender hereby agrees to provide such notice promptly upon the applicable circumstances ceasing to exist). Upon receipt of such notice with respect to any outstanding Loans, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.3 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent (or, if applicable, the Canadian Administrative Agent) determines (or, in the case of clause (a)(iii) below, the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent) in connection with any request for (a) Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) deposits in the applicable currency are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (b) Canadian Banker’s Acceptances that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining pricing with respect to such Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, then the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and all applicable Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or to issue Canadian Banker’s Acceptances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (or, if applicable, the Canadian Administrative Agent) revokes such notice, which the Administrative Agent shall revoke promptly if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing or continuation of, or conversion to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or for Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, as applicable, 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 or, in the case of a request for Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars or Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, a request for a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

3.4 Increased Costs and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

3.4.1 Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) 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 (A) any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.4.4) and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below);

(b) subject any Lender 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 Eurocurrency Loan made by it or any Canadian Banker’s Acceptance accepted by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.1 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);

(c) result in the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, not representing the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans; or

(d) impose on any Lender, the London interbank market or the market for Canadian Banker’s Acceptances any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, Eurodollar Loans made or Canadian Banker’s Acceptances issued 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 Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), of accepting any Canadian Banker’s Acceptance or 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 hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender (so long as such request is substantially consistent with requests made by such Lender with similarly situated customers of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.4.1), the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Lender, within 10 days after demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.4.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments or Loans of such Lender, the participations of such Lender in, or the issuance or maintenance of such Lender of, any Letter of Credit (or the maintenance of its

obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit) or the acceptance by such Lender of any Canadian Banker’s Acceptance, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Lender, within 10 days after demand (so long as such demand is substantially consistent with demands made by such Lender with similarly situated customers of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.4.2), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such holding company for any such reduction suffered.

3.4.3 Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to 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 Eurocurrency 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 absent demonstrable error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that the Company 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.

3.5 Funding Losses. Within 10 days after written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, each Borrower (or, with respect to any Loan requested prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) shall 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 of such Borrower 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 such Borrower (or, with respect to any Loan requested prior to the Closing Date, any Borrower) to prepay, borrow (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan), continue or convert any Loan (other than a prepayment or borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans) on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower (or, with respect to any Loan requested prior to the Closing Date, any Borrower);

(c) any failure by such Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in a Foreign Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

(d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 9.12,

including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the

deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract (including any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing, but excluding any loss of anticipated profits).

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.6 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

3.6.1 Calculation Certificates. Each demand or request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or a Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

3.6.2 Replacement of Lender. Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or Section 3.4, the Company may remove or replace such Lender in accordance with Section 9.12.

3.6.3 Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.4, or exercising its rights under Section 3.2, shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Company or to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue or avoid the circumstances giving rise to such exercise and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.6.4 Delayed Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.4.1 or 3.4.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to such Sections for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s demand for compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.7 Economic and Monetary Union in the European Community.

(a) Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by the EMU Legislation and without prejudice to the liabilities for indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders under or pursuant to this Agreement, each reference in this Agreement to a fixed amount or fixed amounts (or an integral multiple thereof) in a national currency of a

Subsequent Participant to be paid to or by the Administrative Agent shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient fixed amount or fixed amounts (or an integral multiple thereof) in Euro as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify.

(b) Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this Agreement each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States.

3.8 Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Subject to Section 3.6.3, any Lender may cause a branch or affiliate of such Lender to fund or maintain any Loan made or to be made by such Lender hereunder or any Canadian Banker’s Acceptance to be made available by such Lender hereunder.

3.9 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III, and each Lender’s obligations under Section 3.1.3(b), shall survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the other Obligations.

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 any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

8.10 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and changes of counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, due diligence, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is entitled to be, and is not, reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertakings in this Section 8.10 shall survive the termination hereof and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

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 BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower 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 non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(e) Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Lender may change its address, facsimile number or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto in accordance with this Agreement. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile number or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

9.4 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay promptly after demand (i) all reasonable and documented expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Arrangers, including the reasonable and documented fees and charges of a single joint counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Arrangers in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof and any Default or Event of Default by any Borrower hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (who may be employees of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank), in connection with such Event of Default and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The respective Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Note.

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Syndication Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees and charges of one counsel representing all Indemnitees, except in each case to the extent such counsel reasonably determined that a conflict of interest exists) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the replacement of any Lender) arise out of or result from an action, suit, proceeding (including any insolvency or appellate proceeding) or claim asserted against any such Indemnitee directly relating to this Agreement or any document contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or the use of the proceeds of any Credit Extension, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from (i) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, (ii) a breach by an Indemnitee of Section 9.7, (iii) disputes solely among Indemnitees, (iv) the use by an Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties of confidential information in a manner that violates any federal or state securities law, (v) customary expenses for a Lender in connection with review of credit documentation and the closing of this Agreement or (vi) a claim brought by the Company or any other Loan Party against an

100

Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this indemnity is unenforceable as a matter of law as to a particular matter or consequence referred to herein, it shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

(c) To the extent that a Borrower or the Parent (as applicable) for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 9.4(a) or (b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.4(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13.4.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 9.4(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through the online digital workspace owned by SyndTrak.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.4 shall be payable not later than 15 days after demand therefor accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount demanded.

(f) The agreements in this Section 9.4 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

9.5 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off 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 Issuing Bank 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 extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to

101

the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (based on the portion of the applicable payment or proceeds it received) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

9.6 Successors and Assigns.

9.6.1 General Rules regarding Assignments and Transfers. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6.4, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.6.6, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6.8 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Sections 9.6.4 and 9.6.5 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.6.2 Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 9.6.2, participations in L/C Obligations, in Canadian Loans, in Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, in Swing Line Loans and in Fronting Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that

(a) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than US$5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists at such time, the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) otherwise consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(b) 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 (b) shall not apply to a Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Swing Line Loans or to a Fronting Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Fronting Loans;

102

(c) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lenders, each applicable Fronting Lender and so long as no Event of Default exists at such time, the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee) (it being understood that the assignor shall nevertheless give notice to the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) of any such assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund); provided that the Company (or, prior to the Closing Date, Pentair) shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(d) no such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would be a Defaulting Lender;

(e) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs;

(f) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided that (x) such fee shall be waived in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender and (y) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and complete discretion, waive such fee in any other instance; and

(g) except for any assignment to a Swiss Qualifying Lender, an assignment of a Commitment or of any Loan must be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be

103

unreasonably withheld or delayed if, after such assignment or transfer, each Swiss Loan Party would be in compliance with the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule), except that no consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing so long as after such assignment, each Swiss Loan Party would be in compliance with the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.6.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, and 9.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, each Borrower shall execute and deliver each applicable Note to the assignee Lender at such assignee Lender’s expense. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6.2 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 Section 9.6.4.

9.6.3 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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, absent manifest error, 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith, and any Borrower, may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

9.6.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but subject to clause (iv) below), sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’s 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, Canadian Loans, Canadian Banker’s Acceptances 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

104

solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) any sale of a participation to a Person that is not a Swiss Qualifying Lender must be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if, after giving effect to such participation, each Swiss Loan Party would be in compliance with the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule), except that no consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing so long as after such participation, each Swiss Loan Party would be in compliance with the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule.

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 9.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.6.5, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.4, and 3.5, including the requirements under Section 3.1.5 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.1.5 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.6.2. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of its Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations or rights under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the applicable Participant Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and each applicable Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in its Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

9.6.5 Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.4 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 Company’s 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 3.1 unless the Company is notified of (and agrees to) the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.1.5 as though it were a Lender.

105

9.6.6 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 Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or the central bank of another country; 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. Such Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted by applicable Law; provided that any foreclosure or similar action to such holders, trustee or representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.6 concerning assignments.

9.6.7 Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

9.6.8 Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.13.4(b). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 3.1 and 3.4), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable (all such liabilities being the obligation of the Granting Lender), and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the Laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained

106

herein (but subject to the following sentence), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent if the SPC is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and with the payment of a processing fee of US$3,500 assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that the processing fee shall be waived if the SPC is an Affiliate of the assigning Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the making of a Committed Loan by an SPC must be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if, after the making of such Loan, each Swiss Loan Party would be in compliance with the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule), except that no consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing so long as after giving effect to such Committed Loan, each Swiss Loan Party would be in compliance with the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule and the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule.

9.6.9 Resignation as an Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 9.6.2, such Lender may upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent resign as an Issuing Bank and/or as a Swing Line Lender and/or as a Fronting Lender. In the event of any such resignation, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender hereunder; provided that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to accept any such appointment and (ii) no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect any such resignation. If any Person resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Committed Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts). If any Person resigns as a Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans or Fronting Loans, as applicable, made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the applicable Lenders to make Committed Loans to repay or fund risk participations in such outstanding Loans, as applicable. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank, Swing Lender and/or Fronting Lender, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges, obligations and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the resigning Issuing Bank, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such resigning Issuing Bank to effectively relieve such resigning Issuing Bank of its obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.7 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to maintain, and to cause its Affiliates to maintain, the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by the Parent or any Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent on the Parent’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither such Lender nor any of its Affiliates

107

shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Parent or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Lender or any of its Affiliates or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries so long as such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Parent or any Subsidiary known to such Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided that any Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder; (F) to such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors; (G) to any credit insurance provider relating to a Loan Party and its obligations, so long as such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder; (H) to any Participant or Eligible Assignee, actual or potential (or their respective professional advisors), or to any counterparty (or its professional advisors) to any swap, securitization or derivative transaction referencing or involving any of its rights or obligations as a Lender under this Agreement, actual or potential, so long as such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder; (I) as to any Lender or its Affiliates, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement to which the Parent or any Subsidiary is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; (J) to its Affiliates so long as each such Affiliate is advised of the confidentiality requirements set forth herein and agrees in writing (for the benefit of the Parent) to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder (it being understood that each Lender shall be liable for the breach by any of its Affiliates of any such confidentiality requirement); and (K) with the consent of the Company. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges that (a) the information provided hereunder may include material non-public information concerning the Parent or a Subsidiary, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

9.8 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 applicable Borrower. 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.

108

9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.10 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any related fee letter, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

9.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 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. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.11, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

9.12 Replacement or Removal of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, (ii) 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 3.1, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender ceases to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender (but only if such cessation will otherwise cause a breach of the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule or the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule) or becomes a Non-Qualified Lender or a Non-Participating Lender or (v) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice (a “Replacement 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 9.6), 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 Company shall have paid (or caused to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, the assignment fee specified in Section 9.6.2;

109

(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 3.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior to receipt by such Lender of the applicable Replacement Notice, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender demands payment at any time pursuant to Section 3.1 and/or Section 3.4 or ceases to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender (but only if such cessation will otherwise cause a breach of the Swiss Ten Non-Bank Rule or the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule) or becomes a Non-Qualified Lender or a Non-Participating Lender, then the Company may terminate such Lender’s Commitment hereunder, provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Commitment termination and (ii) the Lender has been paid all amounts then due to it under this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the respective Borrowers may pay in connection with any such termination without making ratable payments to any other Lender). In no event shall the termination of a Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this Section impair or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to make the payments demanded by such Lender in accordance with Section 3.1 and/or Section 3.4.

9.13 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Loan Party hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s applicable office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the applicable Loan Party shall, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and

110

notwithstanding any such judgment, indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the total of (a) the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amount shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.14, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Loan Party.

9.14 Borrowers’ Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Company to take such action and deliver and receive notices hereunder as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as delegated to it by the terms hereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, for administrative convenience of the parties hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall send all notices and communications to be sent to any Borrower solely to the Company and may rely solely upon the Company to receive all such notices and other communications for and on behalf of each Borrower. Neither the Company nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any other Borrower for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of such Borrower or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Person other than the Company (and its authorized directors, officers, agents and employees) may act as agent for the Borrowers hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

9.15 Governing Law.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION); PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

111

(c) Each Loan Party that is a Foreign Entity hereby appoints Pentair (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on its behalf and its property service of copies of the summons and complaints and any other process that may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the applicable Loan Party in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address set forth on Schedule 9.2(a), and each such Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Nothing in this Section 9.15(c) shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

9.16 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 9.16 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

9.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as defined below) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

9.18 No Fiduciary or Implied Duties. The Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that in acting as Administrative Agent, Bank of America (or any successor thereto) will not have responsibility except as set forth in this Agreement and shall in no event be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. Each Borrower waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

112

9.19 Amendments Effecting a Maturity Extension. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all applicable Lenders) make an offer (each such offer, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all of the Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended, and, in connection with such extension, to (i) reduce, eliminate or otherwise modify the scheduled amortization of the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting Lenders, and/or (iii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 9.1) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent and the Company. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days or more than 45 Business Days after the date of such notice). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Company, each other Loan Party and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a loan modification agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of the Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of the Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made. The Company may effectuate no more than one Loan Modification Agreement during the term of this Agreement.

(b) This Section shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.14 or 9.1, it being understood, however, that nothing in this Section shall impair or limit the effectiveness of any amendment effectuated in accordance with Section 9.1 (including any amendment effectuated simultaneously with any Permitted Amendment).

9.20 Dutch Banking Act. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no Lender shall at any time have a Commitment of less than a Dollar Equivalent of 100,000 Euro to a Borrower that is incorporated or organized under Dutch law (a “Dutch Borrower”) unless such Lender shall have delivered to such Dutch Borrower and the Administrative Agent a certificate confirming that it is a professional market party (professionele marktpartij) within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht); and any Lender delivering such a certificate will from time to time take such steps as such Dutch Borrower may reasonably request to verify its status as such a professional market party.

113

9.21 Existing Agreement. Lenders that are parties to the Existing Agreement (and which constitute “Required Lenders” under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) hereby waive any notice requirement set forth in Section 2.7 of the Existing Agreement for terminating the commitments under the Existing Agreement, and such Lenders and Pentair agree that, subject to Pentair’s payment of all amounts then payable under the Existing Agreement (whether or not then due, but excluding contingent indemnification or similar obligations that are not yet due), the Existing Agreement shall terminate on the Closing Date and be of no further force or effect (except for provisions thereof that by their terms survive termination thereof).

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY

10.1 Guaranty. Beginning on the Closing Date, the Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on each Loan made to each Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by each Borrower hereunder. Upon failure by any such Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, the Parent shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner that such Borrower was required to make such payment.

10.2 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent under this Article X shall be irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Borrower (other than any express written settlement, compromise, waiver or release in favor of the Parent in its capacity as a guarantor under this Article X) under this Agreement or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement (other than this Article X and the defined terms used herein) or any Note;

(c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement or any Note;

(d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or such Borrower’s assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Note;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Parent may have at any time against any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

114

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower for any reason of this Agreement or any Note, or any provision of applicable Law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by any Borrower under this Agreement; or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Parent’s obligations as guarantor hereunder;

it being understood that the foregoing shall not permit any action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.3 Discharge only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Parent’s obligations as guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by any Borrower under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or otherwise, the Parent’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

10.4 Waiver by Parent. The Parent irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand (except as otherwise required in any Loan Document), protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower or any other Person.

10.5 Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of any Borrower pursuant to this Article X, the Parent shall not be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of all principal of and interest on the Loans, all fees, all L/C Obligations and all other Obligations and other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower under this Agreement or any Note is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

SCHEDULE 1.1

PRICING SCHEDULE

The Applicable Margin, the Facility Fee Rate and the L/C Fee Rate shall be determined as follows:

1. The Applicable Margin, the Facility Fee Rate and the L/C Fee Rate are collectively referred to herein as the “Pricing.”

2. The Pricing shall be as set forth in the table below and shall be calculated based on the Applicable Ratings. For purposes of this Schedule, “Applicable Ratings” means (a) the credit ratings assigned by Xxxxx’x and S&P to the Company’s debt obligations under this Agreement (each a “Bank Debt Rating”), if Xxxxx’x and S&P have issued such ratings, (b) if only one of Xxxxx’x and S&P has a Bank Debt Rating, such rating, or (c) if neither Xxxxx’x nor S&P has a Bank Debt Rating, then (i) if both Xxxxx’x and S&P have assigned a credit rating to the Company’s long term senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced public debt (a “Senior Debt Rating”), such ratings, and (ii) if only one of Xxxxx’x and S&P has a Senior Debt Rating, such rating or (d) if neither Xxxxx’x nor S&P has a Bank Debt Rating or a Senior Debt Rating, then (i) if both Xxxxx’x and S&P have assigned a general corporate family credit rating to the Parent (a “Corporate Rating”), such ratings, and (ii) if only one of Xxxxx’x and S&P has a Corporate Rating, such rating.

If neither Xxxxx’x nor S&P has an Applicable Rating, then the highest Pricing shall apply.

If both Xxxxx’x and S&P have an Applicable Rating and the ratings are not the same (i.e., the Xxxxx’x rating is higher than the S&P rating, or vice versa), then (i) if the difference is one rating level, the higher rating shall apply and (ii) if the difference is two or more rating levels, the rating at the midpoint (or, if there is no midpoint, the higher of the two middle ratings) shall apply.

The Pricing shall be adjusted two Business Days after any applicable change in the Applicable Rating; provided that if Pricing will be reduced as a result of such change, the Pricing shall not be adjusted until two Business Days after the Company notifies the Administrative Agent of such change.


	Level I		Level II		Level III		Level IV		Level V
Bank Debt Ratings, Corporate Ratings or Senior Debt Ratings		A-/A3 or higher		BBB+/Baa1		BBB/Baa2		BBB-/Baa3		Lower than BBB-/Baa3
Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (bps)		90.0		100.0		107.5		127.5		145.0
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans (bps)		0.0		0.0		7.5		27.5		45.0
Facility Fee (bps)		10.0		12.5		17.5		22.5		30.0

*	The L/C Fee Rate for performance standby Letters of Credit with respect to nonfinancial contractual obligations and commercial Letters of Credit shall be equal to 75% of the respective amount set forth above.

Sch. 1.1 - 1

SCHEDULE 1.2

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to a Loan in British Pounds Sterling:

AB + C(B-D) + E X 0.01 per cent. per annum

100 – ( A + C)

(b)

in relation to a Loan in any currency other than British Pounds Sterling:

E x 0.01 per cent. per annum

300

Where:

A	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

Sch. 1.2 -1

B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Obligations are past due, the additional rate of interest specified in Section 2.9.2 payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Loan.

C	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)

“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b)

“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c)

“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (but ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(d)

“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to five decimal places.

If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Lender with a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent in writing, the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.

Sch. 1.2 -2

Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

(a)

the jurisdiction of the Lending Office out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Loan; and

(b)

any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

The percentages of each Lender for the purposes of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Lending Office in the same jurisdiction as its Lending Office.

10.

The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

13.

The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change after the Signing Date in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or any other authority which replaces all or any of the functions of any of the foregoing) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

SCHEDULE 2.4

CANADIAN BANKER’S ACCEPTANCES

1.	Execution of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances.

(a)

To facilitate the acceptance of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances hereunder, each Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Canadian Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, as and when considered necessary by such Canadian Lender, an appropriate number of orders in the form prescribed by such Canadian Lender.

(b)

Each Canadian Lender may, at its option, execute any order in handwriting or by the facsimile or mechanical signature of any of its authorized officers, and each Canadian Lender is hereby authorized to accept or pay, as the case may be, any order of any applicable Canadian Borrower that purports to bear such a signature, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to be an authorized officer of such Canadian Lender. Any such order or Canadian Banker’s Acceptance shall be as valid as if such individual were an authorized officer at the date of issue of the order or Canadian Banker’s Acceptance.

(c)

Any order or Canadian Banker’s Acceptance signed by a Canadian Lender as attorney for any applicable Canadian Borrower, whether signed in handwriting or by the facsimile or mechanical signature of an authorized officer of a Canadian Lender, may be dealt with by such Canadian Lender for all intents and purposes, and shall bind such Canadian Borrower, as if duly signed and issued by such Canadian Borrower.

(d)

The receipt by a Canadian Lender of a request for a Canadian Borrowing by way of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances shall be such Canadian Lender’s sufficient authority to execute, and each Canadian Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, execute orders in accordance with such request and the advice of the Administrative Agent given pursuant to Section 4 of this Schedule, and the orders so executed shall thereupon be deemed to have been presented for acceptance.

2.	Sale of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances.

(a)

It shall be the responsibility of each Canadian Lender to arrange, in accordance with normal market practice, for the sale on each funding date of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance to be accepted by such Canadian Lender, failing which such Canadian Lender shall purchase such Canadian Banker’s Acceptance.

(b)

In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4 of this Schedule, each Canadian Lender will make the net proceeds of each Canadian Borrowing by way of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances available to the applicable Canadian Borrower on the funding date by crediting an account in Canada designated by such Canadian Borrower with such amount.

Sch. 2.4 - 1

3.	Size and Maturity of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and Rollovers.

Each Canadian Borrowing by means of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances shall be in a minimum amount of CDN$3,000,000, and no more than ten Borrowings of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances shall be outstanding at any time. Each Canadian Banker’s Acceptance shall have a term of 30, 60 or 90 days (or such other period as may be agreed to by the applicable Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders) after the date of acceptance of the order by a Canadian Lender, but no Canadian Banker’s Acceptance may mature on a date which is not a Business Day or after the Maturity Date. The face amount at maturity of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance may be renewed as a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance (by repayment and reissue) or repaid.

4.	Coordination of Canadian BA Advances.

Each Canadian Lender shall advance its Canadian Percentage of each Canadian Borrowing by way of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances in accordance with Section 2.4.3 and the provisions set forth below.

(a)

The Administrative Agent, promptly following receipt of a notice from a Canadian Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4 requesting a Canadian Borrowing by way of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, shall advise each Canadian Lender of the aggregate face amount and term(s) of the Canadian Banker’s Acceptances to be accepted by it, which term(s) shall be identical for all Canadian Lenders. The aggregate face amount of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances to be accepted by a Canadian Lender shall be determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to the respective Canadian Commitments of the Canadian Lenders.

(b)

Each Canadian Lender shall transfer to the applicable Canadian Borrower, for value not later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on each funding date for Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, immediately available Canadian Dollars in an aggregate amount equal to the Canadian BA Discount Proceeds of all Canadian Banker’s Acceptances accepted and sold or purchased by such Canadian Lender on such funding date net of the applicable Canadian Banker’s Acceptance Fee and net of the amount required to pay any of its previously accepted Canadian Banker’s Acceptances that are maturing on the funding date or any of its other Canadian Borrowings that are being converted to Canadian Banker’s Acceptances on the funding date.

(c)

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, for the purpose of determining the amount to be transferred by a Canadian Lender to a Canadian Borrower in respect of the sale of any Canadian Banker’s Acceptance accepted by such Canadian Lender and sold or purchased by it, the proceeds of sale thereof shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the Canadian BA Discount Proceeds calculated with respect thereto. Accordingly, in respect of any particular Canadian Banker’s Acceptance accepted by it, a Canadian Lender (in addition to its entitlement to retain the applicable Canadian Banker’s Acceptance Fee for its own account) (i)

Sch. 2.4 - 2

shall be entitled to retain for its own account the amount, if any, by which the actual proceeds of sale thereof exceed the Canadian BA Discount Proceeds calculated with respect thereto; and (ii) shall be required to pay out of its own funds the amount, if any, by which the actual proceeds of sale thereof are less than the Canadian BA Discount Proceeds calculated with respect thereto.

(d)

Whenever a Canadian Borrower requests a Canadian Borrowing that includes Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, each Canadian Lender that is not permitted by applicable law or by customary market practice to accept a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance (a “Non BA Lender”) shall, in lieu of accepting its pro rata amount of such Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, make available to such Canadian Borrower on the funding date a non-interest bearing loan (a “Canadian BA Equivalent Loan”) in Canadian Dollars in an amount equal to the amount of Canadian BA Discount Proceeds that would constitute its pro rata amount of the applicable Canadian Banker’s Acceptances based on the Canadian BA Discount Rate set forth in clause (b) of the definition of “Canadian BA Discount Rate”. Each Non BA Lender also shall be entitled to deduct from each Canadian BA Equivalent Loan an amount equal to the Canadian Banker’s Acceptance Fee that would have been applicable had it been able to accept Canadian Banker’s Acceptances. Each Canadian BA Equivalent Loan shall have a term equal to the term of the Canadian Banker’s Acceptances that the Non BA Lender would otherwise have accepted and the applicable Canadian Borrower shall, at the end of that term, be obligated to pay the Non BA Lender an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the Canadian Banker’s Acceptances that it would otherwise have accepted. All provisions of this Agreement applicable to Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and Canadian Lenders that accept Canadian Banker’s Acceptances shall apply mutatis mutandis to Canadian BA Equivalent Loans and Non BA Lenders and, without limiting the foregoing, Canadian Borrowings shall include Canadian BA Equivalent Loans.

5.	Payment of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances; Cash Collateral; Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality.

(a)

The applicable Canadian Borrower shall provide for the payment to each Canadian Lender of the full face amount of each Canadian Banker’s Acceptance accepted for its account on the earlier of (i) the date of maturity of such Canadian Banker’s Acceptance; and (ii) the date on which any Obligations become due and payable pursuant to Section 7.1. Each Canadian Lender shall be entitled to recover interest from the applicable Canadian Borrower, at the Default Rate, on any amount that is not paid when due by such Canadian Borrower, from the date of maturity of each applicable Canadian Banker’s Acceptance to the date such payment, and all interest thereon, is provided for by such Canadian Borrower, both before and after demand, default and judgment.

(b)

For purposes of this Schedule 2.4, Section 2.4.6 and Section 7.3, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Canadian Lenders and the Lenders, as collateral for

Sch. 2.4 - 3

the Obligations in respect of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lenders (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Each Canadian Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Canadian Lenders and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash and deposit account balances and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at Bank of America.

(c)

The provisions of Article II applicable to Loans, Letters of Credit and the Commitments and Obligations in respect thereof apply to Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and the Commitments and Obligations in respect thereof, mutatis mutandis.

6.	Deemed Advance – Canadian Banker’s Acceptances.

Except for amounts that are paid from the proceeds of a rollover of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance or for which payment has otherwise been funded by a Canadian Borrower, any amount that a Canadian Lender pays to any third party on or after the date of maturity of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance in satisfaction thereof, or that is owing to a Canadian Lender in respect of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance on or after the date of maturity of such a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance, shall be deemed to be a Canadian Prime Rate Loan to such Canadian Borrower under this Agreement. Each Canadian Lender shall forthwith give notice of the making of such a Canadian Prime Rate Loan to the applicable Canadian Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Canadian Lenders (but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any such Loan).

Waiver.

No Canadian Borrower shall claim from a Canadian Lender any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any Canadian Banker’s Acceptance presented and accepted by such Canadian Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Each Canadian Borrower waives any defence to payment that might otherwise exist if for any reason a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance shall be held by a Canadian Lender in its own right at the maturity thereof, and the doctrine of merger shall not apply to any Canadian Banker’s Acceptance that is at any time held by a Canadian Lender in its own right.

8.	Degree of Care.

Any executed orders to be used as Canadian Banker’s Acceptances shall be held in safekeeping with the same degree of care as if they were the applicable Canadian Lender’s own property, and shall be kept at the place at which such orders are ordinarily held by such Canadian Lender.

9.	Obligations Absolute.

The obligations of each Canadian Borrower with respect to each applicable Canadian Banker’s Acceptance under this Agreement shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)

any lack of validity or enforceability of any order accepted by a Canadian Lender as a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance; or

Sch. 2.4 - 4

(ii)

the existence of any claim, set off, defence or other right that any Canadian Borrower may have at any time against the holder of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance, a Canadian Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.

10.	Shortfall on Drawdowns, Rollovers and Conversions.

Each Canadian Borrower agrees that:

(i)

the difference between the amount of a Canadian Borrowing requested by a Canadian Borrower by way of Canadian Banker’s Acceptances and the actual proceeds of the Canadian Banker’s Acceptances;

(ii)

the difference between the actual proceeds of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance and the amount required to pay a maturing Canadian Banker’s Acceptance, if a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance is being rolled over; and

(iii)

the difference between the actual proceeds of a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance and the amount required to repay any Canadian Borrowing that is being converted to a Canadian Banker’s Acceptance;

shall be funded and paid by the applicable Canadian Borrower from its own resources, by 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the day of the applicable Canadian Borrowing or may be advanced as a Canadian Loan under the applicable Canadian Commitments if such Canadian Borrower is otherwise entitled to a Canadian Borrowing under this Agreement.
