Loans

Section 2.01. Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time from the Effective Date through the Maturity Date, each Bank severally agrees to make Loans to Borrower in such principal amounts in Dollars as Borrower may request that do not, in the case of all Loans made by such Bank, exceed in the aggregate outstanding at any one time that Bank’s Commitment or, in the case of all Loans made by all Banks, exceed in the aggregate all Banks’ combined Commitments. Within the limits of each Bank’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.07(b) and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

Section 2.02. Loan Accounts. The Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank in the ordinary course of business. The loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Banks to Borrower and the interest and

payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

Section 2.03. Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing in the form of Exhibit A hereto (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) prior to noon (New York City time) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) prior to noon (New York City time) on the Business Day of the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, specifying: (A) the amount of the Borrowing, which shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof in the case of Base Rate Loans; (B) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day; (C) the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing; and (D) the duration of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans included in such notice.

(c) Each Bank will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date requested by Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available to Borrower by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by Borrower of like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) After giving effect to any Borrowing, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than eight different Interest Periods in effect.

(b) Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans; and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, specifying: (A) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date; (B) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued; (C) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and (D) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans, Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by Borrower, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Bank.

(e) Unless the Majority Banks otherwise consent, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, Borrower may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than eight different Interest Periods in effect.

Section 2.05. Optional Reduction or Termination of Commitments. Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Bank thereof) by telecopier, telegram, personal delivery or cable, terminate in whole or in part the unused portions of the Commitments; provided, however, that in each case each partial termination shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000; provided, further, that the Commitments may not be reduced at any time to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of all Borrowings then outstanding; provided, further, that after any such termination, the Commitments may not thereafter be increased in any amount without the consent of all of the Banks.

Section 2.06. Interest.

(a) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date thereof until payment in full at the rates set forth herein both before and after default and before and after maturity and judgment, with interest on overdue interest to bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.06(d), to the extent permitted by applicable Laws. Upon any partial prepayment of any Base Rate Loan, interest accrued through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next following April 1, July 1, October 1 or January 1. Upon any partial or full prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, interest accrued through the date of such payment, prepayment or conversion shall be payable on such date.

(b) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable on each April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1, commencing with the first such date upon which Base Rate Loans are outstanding hereunder. The unpaid principal amount of any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.

(c) Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of three months or less shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period for that Eurodollar Rate Loan. Interest accrued on each six month Eurodollar Rate Loan shall also be paid at the end of the third month of such Interest Period. The unpaid principal amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for that Eurodollar Rate Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Notwithstanding Section (b) or (c) of this Section, during the existence of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal amount of Loans (and to the extent not paid when due, interest thereon and fees) shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loan (or, if not a Loan, at the interest rate per annum otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans) plus 2% per annum, payable upon demand.

Section 2.07. Repayment and Prepayments of Principal.

(a) If not sooner paid, the principal indebtedness hereunder owed to each Bank shall be payable on the Maturity Date.

(b) The principal indebtedness hereunder may, at any time and from time to time, be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that: (i) any partial prepayment shall be at least $1,000,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent must have received written notice of any prepayment at least one Business Day before the date of prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans and at least three Business Days before the date of prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof); (iii) each prepayment of principal, except for partial prepayments on Base Rate Loans, shall be accompanied by prepayment of interest accrued through the date of payment on the amount of principal paid, and (iv) in the case of any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrower shall promptly reimburse each Bank for any loss or cost directly or indirectly resulting from the prepayment, determined as set forth in Section 3.03.

(c) Upon consummation of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent as promptly as practicable thereof and of the Net Proceeds in connection therewith. The Commitments shall automatically, without further action by any party hereto, be reduced effective on the tenth Business Day following the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice by an amount equal to the largest multiple of $1,000,000 that does not exceed the amount of the related Net Proceeds. If after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, then Borrower shall on the third Business Day following the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice prepay Loans in accordance with Section 2.07(b) to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

Section 2.08. Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their Commitments, a facility fee on the daily average aggregate amount of the Commitments (including both the

portion thereof that is used and the portion thereof that is unused), at the rate of (i) 0.045% per annum during each Rating Level I, (ii) 0.055% per annum during each Rating Level II and (iii) 0.075% per annum during each Rating Level III. Such facility fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 and on the Maturity Date. The facility fee provided in this subsection shall be nonrefundable and shall accrue at all times after the Effective Date, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Article 4 are not met.

(b) Agency Fees. Borrower shall pay an agency fee to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account as agreed upon between Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.09. Payments by Borrower.

(a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office, and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.10. Payments by the Banks to the Administrative Agent.

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Bank at least one Business Day prior to the date of any Borrowing (or prior to the time of a Borrowing, in the case of any Base Rate Loan), that such Bank will not make

available as and when required hereunder to the Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Bank shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Bank’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(b) The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date.

ARTICLE 3

Payments, Costs

Section 3.01. Eurodollar. Upon notice from any Bank and subject to compliance with Section 9.09, Borrower shall promptly reimburse that Bank for any increase in its costs, including without limitation, taxes (and additional amounts equal to increases in taxes attributable to payments by Borrower of such taxes), assessments or a change in the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank (other than any tax, or changes in the rate of any tax, based upon the income, profits or business of the Bank, or upon any personal property or franchise of the Bank, or any similar tax which may be levied upon the Bank, or any change in the rate of any such similar tax by the United States or any other government having jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of any thereof), fees, charges, and/or special deposit and/or other similar reserve requirements (other

than requirements expressly included herein in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder) directly or indirectly resulting from or relating to any Eurodollar Rate Loan due to any circumstance, except only any increase in costs that is attributable to the prepayment by a Bank, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, of a time deposit in the London interbank market, where Borrower has not paid or redesignated a corresponding Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of the term of such Eurodollar Rate Loan. As used in the preceding sentence, “reserve requirements” shall be calculated after taking into account any compensation received by the Bank through the computation of the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage. Amounts payable to a Bank under this Section 3.01 shall be determined solely by that Bank upon the assumption that the Bank funded 100% of that Eurodollar Rate Loan by the acceptance of a time deposit in the London interbank market for a corresponding amount and term, regardless of whether the Bank did so in fact. In attributing a Bank’s general costs relating to its Eurodollar operations to any transaction under this Agreement, or averaging any cost over a period of time, that Bank may use any reasonable attribution and/or averaging method it deems appropriate and practical. The determination of such amount by the Bank shall be presumed correct in the absence of manifest error.

Section 3.02. Special Eurodollar Circumstances. If (x) any Regulatory Development relating to the interbank Eurodollar markets shall at any time in the reasonable opinion of any Bank make it unlawful or impractical for that Bank to fund or maintain a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the London interbank market for a corresponding amount or term, or to continue that funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any appropriate Eurodollar Rate or (y) the Administrative Agent or any Bank determines in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent or that Bank, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Banks who shall notify Borrower and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) the then outstanding principal amounts of any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan; and

(b) no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be made thereafter until that Bank determines that to do so would be lawful or practical.

Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.03. Eurodollar Indemnification. Borrower hereby indemnifies each Bank against, and agrees to hold each Bank harmless from and reimburse each Bank on demand for all costs, expenses, claims, penalties, liabilities, losses, legal fees and damages (including without limitation any interest paid or that would be paid by a Bank for deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market and any loss sustained or that would be sustained by a Bank in connection with the reemployment of funds) incurred or sustained, or that would be incurred or sustained, by each Bank, as reasonably determined by the Bank, as a result of (a) any failure of Borrower to consummate, or the failure of any condition required for the consummation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount specified in any notice, requesting or designating a Eurodollar Rate Loan or (b) Borrower’s prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan before the last day of its Interest Period. The indemnification shall be determined as though the Bank had funded or would have funded 100%, as the case may be, of the Eurodollar Rate Loan in the London interbank market for a corresponding amount and term. The determination of such amount by the Bank shall be presumed correct in the absence of manifest error.

Section 3.04. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed, except that computations of interest on all Eurodollar Rate Loans and computations of interest on Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of fees hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.05. Holidays. If any payment to be made by Borrower on a Loan shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.

Section 3.06. Payment Free of Taxes. Subject to compliance with Section 9.09, any payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any withholding tax.

Section 3.07. Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Bank to obtain the funds for any Borrowing in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Bank that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Borrowing in any particular place or manner.

Section 3.08. Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Bank not to require payment of any fee or costs, or to reduce the amount of the payment required for any fee or costs or to calculate any fee or costs in any particular manner, for any particular Eurodollar Rate Loan shall in no way limit the Administrative Agent’s or that Bank’s right to require full payment of any fee or costs for any other Eurodollar Rate Loan or to calculate any fee or costs in another manner.

Section 3.09. Other Costs. If, at any time subsequent to the Effective Date, any Bank shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of any Law regarding capital adequacy, any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements generally applicable to commitments or credit arrangements similar to the Commitments (other than requirements expressly included herein in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate) hereunder, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by said Bank or any corporation controlling said Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (other than requirements expressly included herein in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder) (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of increasing the cost to, or reducing the income received by or imposing any expense (including loss of margin), on any said Bank or any corporation controlling said Bank, or, in the case of any capital adequacy requirement, reducing the rate of return on said Bank’s or corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which said Bank or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration said Bank’s or corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, each affected Bank may notify Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of the additional amount or amounts as will compensate said Bank or corporation for such increase, reduction or imposition and, upon demand, Borrower shall pay said affected Bank or corporation such amount or amounts. In determining such amount, the affected Bank or corporation may use reasonable attribution and/or averaging methods which it deems appropriate and practical. In no event shall Borrower be liable for any such amounts relating to periods of time more than three months prior to the date upon which Borrower receives notice from the affected Bank, except to the extent that such periods of time (i) relate to retroactive applications of any such Law or retroactive interpretations or administrations of any such Law or (ii) represent periods during which it is impracticable for any such Bank to calculate any such amounts due; provided, however, that such information shall be provided to Borrower as soon as practicable. Said affected Bank shall, upon Borrower’s request, provide Borrower with a statement showing in reasonable detail, the basis for determining the amount charged hereunder.

Section 3.10. Survivability. Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive the date on which all Borrowings hereunder were fully paid.

(a) Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. The chief executive offices of Borrower are in Pasadena, California. Borrower is duly qualified or registered to transact business in California and each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties make such qualification or registration necessary, except where the failure so to qualify or register would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business, to own and lease its properties and to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(b) All outstanding shares of capital stock of Borrower are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities and other laws.

Section 5.02. Authority Compliance with Other Instruments and Government Regulations. The execution, delivery, and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval not heretofore obtained of any stockholder, security holder or creditor; (b) violate or conflict with any provision of Borrower’s charter, certificate, articles of incorporation or bylaws, or amendments thereof; (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien or Right of Others upon or with respect to any property now owned or leased or hereafter acquired by Borrower; (d) violate any provision of any Laws (including without limitation Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award presently in effect having applicability to Borrower; or (e) result in a breach of or constitute a default under, or cause or permit the acceleration of any obligation owed under, any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease, or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its property, is bound or affected; and Borrower is not in default under any Laws, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, award, indenture, agreement, lease, or instrument described in Section 5.02(e) in any respect that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.03. No Governmental Approvals Required. No authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration, or qualification with, or exemption from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency is or will be required to authorize or permit under applicable Laws the execution, delivery, and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents.

Section 5.04. Subsidiaries.

(a) Schedule 5.04 hereto correctly sets forth as of December 30, 2006 the names, forms of legal entity and jurisdictions of formation of all Subsidiaries of Borrower and states whether each is or is not a Consolidated Subsidiary. Except for shares of capital stock or partnership interests in a Subsidiary required by applicable Laws to be held by a director or comparable official of that Subsidiary and unless otherwise indicated in Schedule 5.04 or where the failure to own all of the shares of capital stock or partnership interests in such Subsidiary would not have a Material Adverse Effect, all of the outstanding shares of capital

stock or partnership interests of each Subsidiary are owned beneficially by Borrower, and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, all securities and interests so owned are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities and other laws, and are free and clear of all Liens and Rights of Others.

(b) Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified and in good standing does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and has all requisite legal power and authority to conduct its business and to own and lease its properties.

(c) Each Subsidiary is in compliance with all Laws and other requirements applicable to its business and has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, and permits from, and has accomplished all filings, registrations, and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure to be in such compliance, obtain such authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, and permits, accomplish such filings, registrations, and qualifications, or obtain such exemptions, does not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.05. Financial Statements. Borrower has furnished to each Bank the following financial statements: (i) the consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and changes in financial position for the year then ended, together with the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers on such financial statements and (ii) the consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholder’s equity and changes in financial position for the three months then ended. The foregoing financial statements are in accordance with the books and records of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently throughout the periods covered thereby and fairly present the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as at the dates and for the periods covered thereby.

Section 5.06. No Material Adverse Change or Other Liabilities. Except as set forth in Section 5.09, since December 30, 2006, there has been no event or circumstance that has had a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.07. Title to Assets. Borrower has good and valid title to all of the assets reflected in the financial statements described in Section 5.05 (except for assets that are sold in transactions that are not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement) free and clear of all Liens and Rights of Others other than (a) those reflected or disclosed in such financial statements or notes thereto, (b) immaterial Liens or Rights of Others not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be so reflected or disclosed, and (c) Liens or Rights of Others permitted pursuant to Section 7.02.

Section 5.08. Regulated Industries. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Section 5.09. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of any of them in any court of law or before any Governmental Agency which, if determined adversely to any of them, would have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 5.09 annexed hereto or as referred to in Borrower’s news releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made or filed on or prior to the Effective Date (including the Canadian Department of Justice and Australian Competition and Consumer Commission investigations into industry competitive practices and any related or threatened inquiries, claims, proceedings or lawsuits pertaining to these investigations or to the subject matter thereof or of the concluded investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission (including a purported class action seeking treble damages for alleged unlawful competitive practices, and purported class actions related to alleged disclosure and fiduciary duty violations pertaining to alleged unlawful competitive practices, which were filed after the announcement of the investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice), as well as the impact of potential violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act based on issues in China).

Section 5.10. Binding Obligations. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to the granting of specific performance and other equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion.

Section 5.11. No Default. No Default or Event of Default exists or has resulted from the incurring of any Obligations by Borrower. As of the Effective Date, neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any material contractual obligation in any respect which, individually or together with all such defaults, has had a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.12. ERISA. (a) The actuarial present value of all vested accrued benefits under all Pension Plans does not exceed the current fair market value of the assets determined on an ongoing basis of the Pension Plans by an amount which would materially affect the financial condition or Borrower’s abilities to pay or perform its obligations under the Loan Documents; (b) no Pension Plan or trust created thereunder has incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA) whether or not waived, since the effective date of ERISA; and (c) based on information received from the respective administrators of “multiemployer plans” (as defined in ERISA) to which Borrower or any Subsidiary contributes, the aggregate present value of the unfunded vested benefits allocable to Borrower or such Subsidiaries under all such multiemployer plans is not an amount which would materially affect the financial condition or Borrower’s abilities to pay or perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 5.13. Regulation U. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for purpose of “buying” or “carrying” any Margin Stock within the meanings of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. No part of any Borrowing will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for that purpose, or for any purpose, if to do so would violate the provisions of Regulation U,

Section 5.14. Tax Liability. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all income tax returns which are required to be filed, and have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes which have become due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Borrower or any Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided, and except such taxes the failure of which to pay will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.15. Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, Etc. Borrower or its Subsidiaries own or are licensed or otherwise have the right to use all of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, contractual franchises, authorizations and other rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, where the failure to have such rights would have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person, where such infringement would create a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.16. Environmental Matters. Borrower conducts in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and existing Environmental Claims on its business, operations and properties, and as a result thereof Borrower has reasonably concluded that such Environmental Laws and Environmental Claims would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.17. Insurance. The properties of Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of Borrower, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where Borrower or such Subsidiary operates.

Section 5.18. Disclosure. No written statement made by Borrower to the Banks in connection with the Loan Documents or any Loan contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit a material fact necessary to make the statements contained or made therein not misleading. There is no fact which Borrower has not disclosed to the Banks in writing which materially and adversely affects nor, so far as Borrower can now foresee, is reasonably likely to prove to affect materially and adversely the business, operations, properties, prospects, profits or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of Borrower to perform the Obligations.

No application of the payments will cure any Event of Default or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or Banks hereunder or under applicable Laws.

ARTICLE 9

The Administrative Agent

Section 9.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and authorization does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Bank and, except as specifically set forth herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “administrative agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine

of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

Section 9.03. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. JPMCB (and each successor Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though JPMCB (or any successor Administrative Agent) were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” includes JPMCB in its individual capacity. JPMCB (and each successor Administrative Agent) and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower and any Affiliate of Borrower, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. JPMCB (and each successor Administrative Agent) need not account to any other Bank for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as Administrative Agent hereunder, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Bank hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 9.04. Banks’ Credit Decisions. Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Bank, or the directors, officers, agents, or employees of the Administrative Agent or of any other Bank, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Bank, or the directors, officers, agents, or employees of the Administrative Agent or of any other Bank, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or credit worthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

Section 9.05. Action by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the Event of Default, has received notice from Borrower stating the nature of the Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”, or has received notice from a Bank stating the nature of the Event of Default and that that Bank considers the Event of Default to have occurred and to be continuing.

(b) The Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the Loan Documents that are expressly set forth therein. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inspect any property of Borrower although the Administrative Agent may in its discretion periodically inspect any property from time to time.

(c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or not act upon the instructions of the Majority Banks (or of all the Banks, to the extent required by Section 10.02) and those instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Banks, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would expose the Administrative Agent to significant personal liability or would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable law.

(d) If the Administrative Agent may not, pursuant to Section 9.05(a), assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks and shall act or not act upon the instructions of the Majority Banks (or all of the Banks, to the extent required by Section 10.02), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would expose the Administrative Agent to significant liability or would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable law. The Administrative Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article 8; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Bank for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Majority Banks (or all the Banks, if required under Section 10.02), notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

Section 9.06. Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Agent-Related Persons:

(a) may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer of such Person’s interests hereunder in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by that Bank;

(b) may consult with legal counsel, in-house legal counsel, independent public accountants, in-house accountants and other professionals, or other experts selected by it, of with legal counsel, independent public accountants, or other experts for Borrower, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or them in good faith in accordance with the advice of such legal counsel, independent public accountants, or experts;

(c) will not be responsible to any Bank for any statement, warranty, or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request, or other statement (written or oral) in connection with any of the Loan Documents;

(d) except to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, will have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Person of any of the terms, conditions, or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect the property, books, or records of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Person;

(e) will not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency, or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith;

(f) will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other instrument or writing believed by it or them to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks (for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Bank); and

(g) will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount payable to or receivable from any Bank hereunder, including without limitation payment of principal and interest hereunder, payment of commitment fees, Loans, and other amounts; provided that promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Banks and (to the extent applicable) Borrower shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred.

Section 9.07. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and disbursements and the allocated cost of in-house counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or replacement of any Bank) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of any counsel (including in-house counsel)) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, 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, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.08. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Banks shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and Borrower, a successor agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and Section 10.03 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

Section 9.09. Withholding Tax. Each Bank that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to becoming a Bank (including after accepting an assignment of an interest herein) and promptly upon becoming aware that any form or other documentation provided pursuant to this Section 9.09 has become invalid, two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor form thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall (a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (b) promptly notify the Administrative

Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (c) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction, and, unless such failure shall result from a change in law making it impossible for such Person to provide such forms or other documentation, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts as a result of such withholding. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including the allocated cost of in-house counsel)) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Banks under this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE 10

Miscellaneous

Section 10.01. Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Bank provided in any Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, or remedy provided by law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power, or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The terms and conditions of Sections 4.01 and 4.02 are inserted for the sole benefit of the Banks and may be waived by the Majority Banks in whole or in part with or without terms or conditions in respect of any Loan, without prejudicing the Bank’s rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loans.

Section 10.02. Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the written approval of

the Majority Banks, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and in addition to the approval in writing of the Majority Banks, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver, or consent may be effective:

(a) to reduce the principal of, or the amount of principal, principal prepayments, or the rate of interest payable on, any Obligation or increase the amount of any Commitment or decrease the amount of any fee payable to any Bank without the approval in writing of each affected Bank;

(b) to postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Obligation or any installment of any fee or to extend the term of any Commitment without the approval in writing of each affected Bank;

(c) to amend or modify the provisions of the definitions in Section 1.01 of “Commitment” or “Majority Banks”, of Sections 10.02, 10.09, 10.11 or of Article 8 without the approval of all the Banks; or

(d) to amend or modify any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Banks without the approval of all the Banks;

provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Majority Banks, all the Banks or all the affected Banks, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 10.02 shall apply equally to and be binding upon, all of the Banks.

Section 10.03. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower shall pay on demand the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery, amendment, waiver, refinancing and restructuring of, and reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization, if such payment is approved by the bankruptcy court) affecting, the Loan Documents and the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Banks in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto, including without limitation filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including the allocated cost of in-house counsel), independent public accountants, and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or the Banks. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes (other than income or gross receipts taxes generally applicable to banks) and all costs,

expenses, fees, and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless, and indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Banks from and against any and all loss, liability, or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any tax, cost, expense, fee, or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of Borrower to perform any of the Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or the Banks under this Section 10.03 shall bear interest from the date of demand for payment at the rate then in effect for Base Rate Loans.

Section 10.04. Banks’ Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Banks and Borrower pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make any Bank and Borrower a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or other entity. The sole relationship between the Banks and Borrower is that of lenders and borrower, respectively. Each Bank’s obligation to make any Loan is several, and not joint or joint and several, and is not conditioned upon the performance by all other Banks of their obligations to make Loans. A default by any Bank will not increase the Commitment of any other Bank. Any Bank not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the non-defaulting Banks may agree the obligations of any Bank in default, but is not obligated to do so.

Section 10.05. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein or in any other Loan Document (including, for this purpose, all representations and warranties contained in any certificate or other writing required to be delivered by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document) will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Banks of the untruth of any representation or warranty, have been or will be relied upon by the Banks, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Banks or on their behalf.

Section 10.06. Notices.

(a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission).

In no event shall a voicemail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.

(c) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents maybe transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

(d) Reliance by the Administrative Agent and Banks. The Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of 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. 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.

Section 10.07. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.

Section 10.08. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent 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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Bank may at any time assign, with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of Borrower (which consent may be given or withheld in Borrower’s sole discretion) 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 at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) 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 $5,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent to be within the discretion of the consenting party), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, (iii) 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 $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable by the Borrower) and (iv) no consent of Borrower shall be required if the

proposed assignment is to another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank unless as a result of such assignment, the Borrower would incur an additional cost pursuant to Section 3.06, but the assigning Bank shall give the Administrative Agent and Borrower written notice thereof. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank 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 Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.09 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, but with notice to, Borrower and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries (each, a “Participant”)) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that

such Bank 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 Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (x) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is to be paid to such Participant or (y) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.09 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of, and be subject to, Section 10.09 as though it were a Bank.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.03 and 3.09 than the applicable Bank 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 Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” as contemplated by Section 9.09 (a “Foreign Bank”) if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 9.09 as though it were a Bank.

(f) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

(g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Eligible Assignee” means, (a) a Bank; (b) an Affiliate of a Bank; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent, and (ii) unless (A) such Person is taking delivery of an assignment in connection with physical settlement of a credit derivative transaction or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (each such consent to be within the discretion of the consenting party); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

Section 10.09. Right of Setoff; Sharing of Excess Payment.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that each Bank and each of its Affiliates have a contractual right of setoff of amounts credited to any deposit account maintained by Borrower with that Bank or its Affiliates against the Obligations owed to that Bank or its Affiliates. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is then continuing, Borrower consents to the exercise by each Bank and its Affiliates of its right of setoff, as aforesaid, in accordance with applicable Laws.

(b) Each Bank severally agrees that if that Bank or any of its Affiliates shall, through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower or by virtue of a voluntary or involuntary payment received or applied, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due hereunder, or amounts due to that Bank or its Affiliates in respect of fees hereunder (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Bank and such Affiliates), which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect to the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Bank, then the Bank and its Affiliates receiving such greater proportionate payment shall purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Banks so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by the Banks in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due them. If all or a portion of any such excess payment is thereafter recovered from any Bank which received the same, the purchase provided for herein shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery, without interest.

Section 10.10. Indemnification by Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Bank and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (other than the Administrative Agent or any Bank) relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective officers or directors which arises out of or in connection with the Loan Documents, the use of Loan proceeds or the transactions

contemplated thereby; (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or the replacement of any Bank) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor loan documents, the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in subsection (a) or (b) above; and (d) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and disbursements and the allocated cost of in-house counsel) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all the other Obligations.

Section 10.11. Nonliability of Banks. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower to review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon, or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business, operations, or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment, or information supplied to Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in connection with any such matter is for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon.

Section 10.12. Confidentiality. Each Bank agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates, legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to the Bank provided that such advisors and Affiliates are obliged to hold such information in confidence, (b) regulatory officials having jurisdiction over the Bank or its Affiliates, (c) as required by law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which the Bank is a party provided that Borrower is notified prior to or concurrently with any such disclosure, and (d) to the Administrative Agent or another Bank. This Agreement, and other confidential information as approved by Borrower at the time, may be disclosed, subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to any Participants, Eligible Assignees, potential Participants or potential Eligible Assignees.

Section 10.13. Investment Intent. Each Bank is making the Loans provided for herein for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, subject, nevertheless, to any requirement that its property shall at all times be within its control, and subject further to the Bank’s right (reserved hereby) to sell participations in the Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 10.14. Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, do, execute, and deliver such further acts and documents as the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto them the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

Section 10.15. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing is subject to Section 5.18.

Section 10.16. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The Loan Documents were drafted with the joint participation of Borrower and the Banks and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of either, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. All judicial proceedings brought against Borrower with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Borrower irrevocably waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any proceeding is brought in accordance with this Section. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.

Section 10.17. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

Section 10.18. Headings. Article and section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

Section 10.19. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

Section 10.20. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Bank (whether a party hereto on the date hereof or hereafter) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. No. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and to provide notice of these requirements, and this notice shall satisfy such notice requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

Schedule 5.09

LITIGATION

The Company has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or other responsible state agencies as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at fourteen waste disposal or waste recycling sites, which are the subject of separate investigations or proceedings concerning alleged soil and/or ground water contamination and for which no settlement of the Company’s liability has been agreed. The Company is participating with other PRPs at such sites, and anticipates that its share of cleanup costs will be determined pursuant to remedial agreements entered into in the normal course of negotiations with the EPA or other governmental authorities.

The Company has accrued liabilities for these and certain other sites, including sites in which governmental agencies have designated the Company as a PRP, where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the cost or amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. However, because of the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expense to remediate the currently identified sites and any sites which could be identified in the future for cleanup could be higher than the liability currently accrued.

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recognized additional liability of $13 million for estimated environmental remediation costs for a former operating facility, for which $2 million had been accrued in the second quarter of 2006. The amount accrued represents the lower end of the current estimated range of $15 million to $17 million for costs expected to be incurred. Management considered additional information provided by outside consultants in revising its previous estimates of expected costs. This estimate could change depending on various factors such as modification of currently planned remedial actions, changes in the site conditions, a change in the estimated time to complete remediation, changes in laws and regulations affecting remediation requirements and other factors.

Other amounts currently accrued are not significant to the consolidated financial position of the Company and, based upon current information, management believes it is unlikely that the final resolution of these matters will significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 19, 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice notified the Company that the U.S. Department of Justice had decided to close its criminal investigation (initiated in April 2003) into competitive practices in the label stock industry without further action, as described below.

On November 15, 2006, the Company announced that it had been notified that the European Commission (“EC”) had closed its investigation (initiated in May 2004) into the Company’s competitive activities in the label stock industry with no action, as described below.

On April 14, 2003, the Company announced that it had been notified that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) had initiated a criminal investigation into competitive practices in the label stock industry. The Company cooperated with the now closed investigation.

On April 15, 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (“DOJ Merger Complaint”) seeking to enjoin the proposed merger of UPM-Kymmene (“UPM”) and the Xxxxxx Adhesives (“MACtac”) division of Bemis

Schedule 5.09-1

Co., Inc. (“Bemis”). The DOJ Merger Complaint included references not only to the parties to the merger, but also to an unnamed “Leading Producer” of North American label stock, which is the Company. The DOJ Merger Complaint asserted that “UPM and the Leading Producer have already attempted to limit competition between themselves, as reflected in written and oral communications to each other through high level executives regarding explicit anticompetitive understandings, although the extent to which these efforts have succeeded is not entirely clear to the United States at the present time.” On July 25, 2003, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered an order enjoining the proposed merger. UPM and Bemis thereafter agreed to terminate the merger agreement.

On April 24, 2003, Sentry Business Products, Inc. filed a purported class action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, UPM, Bemis and certain of their subsidiaries seeking treble damages and other relief for alleged unlawful competitive practices, essentially repeating the underlying allegations of the DOJ Merger Complaint. Ten similar complaints were filed in various federal district courts. In November 2003, the cases were transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and consolidated for pretrial purposes. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on February 16, 2004, which the Company answered on March 31, 2004. On April 14, 2004, the court separated the proceedings as to class certification and merits discovery, and limited the initial phase of discovery to the issue of the appropriateness of class certification. On January 4, 2006, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On March 1, 2007, the court heard oral argument on the issue of the appropriateness of class certification. The Company intends to defend these matters vigorously.

On May 6, 2003, Sekuk Global Enterprises filed a purported stockholder class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Messrs. Xxxx, X’Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx (then CEO, CFO and Controller, respectively) seeking damages and other relief for alleged disclosure violations pertaining to alleged unlawful competitive practices. Subsequently, another similar action was filed in the same court. On September 24, 2003, the court appointed a lead plaintiff, approved lead and liaison counsel and ordered the two actions consolidated as the “In Re Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Corporation Securities Litigation.” Pursuant to court order and the parties’ stipulation, plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint in mid-February 2004. The court approved a briefing schedule for defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint, with a contemplated hearing date in June 2004. In January 2004, the parties stipulated to stay the consolidated action, including the proposed briefing schedule, pending the outcome of the government investigation of alleged anticompetitive conduct by the Company. On January 12, 2007, following the DOJ’s closing of its investigation, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the case without prejudice. On January 17, 2007, the Court entered an order dismissing the case.

On May 21, 2003, The Xxxxxx Press filed in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, California, a purported class action on behalf of indirect purchasers of label stock against the Company, UPM and UPM’s subsidiary Raflatac (“Raflatac”), seeking treble damages and other relief for alleged unlawful competitive practices, essentially repeating the underlying allegations of the DOJ Merger Complaint. Three similar complaints were filed in various California courts. In November 2003, on petition from the parties, the California Judicial Council ordered the cases be coordinated for pretrial purposes. The cases were assigned to a coordination trial judge in the Superior Court for the City and County of San Francisco on March 30, 2004. On January 21,

Schedule 5.09-2

2005, American International Distribution Corporation filed a purported class action on behalf of indirect purchasers in the Superior Court for Xxxxxxxxxx County, Vermont. Similar actions were filed by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, on February 16, 2005, in the District Court of Xxxxxxx County, Kansas; and by Xxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, on February 16, 2005 in the District Court of Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska. On February 17, 2005, Xxxx Xxxxxx filed a purported multi-state class action on behalf of indirect purchasers in the Circuit Court for Xxxxx County, Tennessee. The Company intends to defend these matters vigorously.

On May 25, 2004, officials from the European Commission (“EC”), assisted by officials from national competition authorities, launched unannounced inspections of and obtained documents from the Company’s pressure-sensitive materials facilities in the Netherlands and Germany. The investigation apparently sought evidence of unlawful anticompetitive activities affecting the European paper and forestry products sector, including the label stock market. The Company cooperated with the now closed investigation.

On July 9, 2004, the Competition Law Division of the Department of Justice of Canada notified the Company that it was seeking information from the Company in connection with a label stock investigation. The Company is cooperating with the investigation.

On May 18, 2005, Xxxxxx X. Dancer filed a purported class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, Xx. Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (VP and Treasurer) and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (then VP, Compensation and Benefits), for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act to the Company’s Employee Savings Plan and Plan participants. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that permitting investment in and retention of Company Common Stock under the Plan was imprudent because of alleged anticompetitive activities by the Company, and that failure to disclose such activities to the Plan and participants was unlawful. Plaintiff seeks an order compelling defendants to compensate the Plan for any losses and other relief. The court approved the parties’ stipulation to stay the matter pending the outcome of the government investigation of alleged anticompetitive conduct by the Company. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On August 18, 2005, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission notified two of the Company’s subsidiaries, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Material Pty Limited and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Australia Pty Ltd, that it was seeking information in connection with a label stock investigation. The Company is cooperating with the investigation.

On October 19, 2006, the DOJ notified the Company that the DOJ decided to close its criminal investigation into competitive practices in the label stock industry without further action.

On November 15, 2006, the Company announced that it had been notified that the EC had closed its investigation into the Company’s competitive activities in the label stock industry with no action.

The Board of Directors created an ad hoc committee comprised of independent directors to oversee the foregoing matters.

The Company is unable to predict the effect of these matters at this time, although the effect could be adverse and material.

Schedule 5.09-3

In 2005, the Company contacted relevant authorities in the U.S. and reported the results of an internal investigation of potential violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The transactions at issue were carried out by a small number of employees of the reflective business in China, and involved, among other things, impermissible payments or attempted impermissible payments. The payments or attempted payments and the contracts associated with them appear to have been relatively minor in amount and of limited duration. Corrective and disciplinary actions have been taken. Sales of the reflective business in China in 2005 were approximately $7 million. Based on findings to date, no changes to the Company’s previously filed financial statements were warranted as a result of these matters. However, the Company expects that fines or other penalties may be incurred. While the Company is unable to predict the financial or operating impact of any such fines or penalties, the Company believes that our behavior in detecting, investigating, responding to and voluntarily disclosing these matters to authorities should be viewed favorably.

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other lawsuits, claims and inquiries, most of which are routine to the nature of the business. Based upon current information, the Company believes that the resolution of these other matters will not materially affect us.
