The amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(ii) LC Application. Borrower shall request each Letter of Credit by delivering to Agent and Issuing Bank an irrevocable written application in a form reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank, appropriately completed (an “LC Application”), which specifies, among other things:

Upon payment by Issuing Bank of each Drawing Payment, the remaining available amount under such Letter of Credit (if any) shall be reduced by the amount of such payment.

(B) Time of Reimbursement. On the day each Drawing Payment is to be made by Issuing Bank, Borrower shall make or cause to be made to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, a payment in the amount of such Drawing Payment (a “Reimbursement Payment”); provided, however, that if Borrower does not receive notice from Issuing Bank by 10:00 a.m. (California time) that a Reimbursement Payment is due, such Reimbursement Payment (together with interest thereon accruing at the Federal Funds

(A) Participation Agreement. Each Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with Issuing Bank to participate in the extension of credit arising from the issuance of each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit from time to time, and the issuance of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed a confirmation by Issuing Bank of such participation in such amount.

(B) Participation Funding. Issuing Bank may request the Lenders to fund their participations in Letters of Credit by paying to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, all or any portion of any Drawing Payment made or to be made by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit.

Promptly following receipt of such notice from Agent, each Lender shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the applicable portion of such Drawing Payment.

(C) Funding Through Loans. If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, any Reimbursement Obligations are outstanding, Agent may or, upon the written request of Issuing Bank (if Borrower is not then the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding), shall (subject to the terms and conditions of this Subparagraph 2.01(b)(iv)), initiate a Borrowing in an amount not exceeding the aggregate amount of such outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and use the proceeds of such Borrowing to repay all or a portion of such Reimbursement Obligations. Agent shall initiate such a Borrowing by delivering to each Lender (with a copy to Borrower) a written notice which specifies the aggregate amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, the amount of the Borrowing (which initially shall consist of Base Rate Loans), the date of such Borrowing and the amount of the Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing. Each Lender shall make available to Agent funds in the amount of its Loan as provided in Subparagraph 2.10(a). After receipt of such funds, Agent shall promptly disburse such funds to Issuing Bank and the Lenders, as appropriate, in payment of the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations.

Each Lender’s obligations to fund its participations under this Subparagraph 2.01(b)(iv) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by (1) the passage of the Maturity Date, (2) the occurrence or existence of any Default, (3) any failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section III, (4) any event or condition which might have a Material Adverse Effect, (5) the failure of any other Lender to make any payment under this Subparagraph 2.01(b)(iv), (6) any right of offset, abatement, withholding or reduction which such Lender may have against Issuing Bank, Agent, any Lender or Borrower, (7) any event, circumstance or condition set forth in Subparagraph 2.01(b)(iii) or Subparagraph 2.01(b)(v), or (8) any other event, circumstance or condition whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing in this Subparagraph 2.01(b)(iv) shall prejudice any right which any Lender may have against Issuing Bank for any action by Issuing Bank which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(v) Liability of Issuing Bank, Etc.

endorsement(s) thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged or any statement therein prove to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (D) payment by Issuing Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to any Letter of Credit; or (E) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except only that Issuing Bank shall be liable to Borrower for acts or events described in clauses (A) through (E) above, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any damages suffered by Borrower (excluding consequential damages) which Borrower proves were caused by (1) Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether a drawing made under any Letter of Credit complies with the terms and conditions therefor stated in such Letter of Credit or (2) Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in failing to pay under any Letter of Credit after a drawing by the beneficiary thereof strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, Issuing Bank may accept a drawing that appears on its face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. The determination of whether a drawing has been made under any Letter of Credit on or prior to its expiration or whether a drawing made under any Letter of Credit is in proper and sufficient form shall be made by Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower to the extent permitted by law. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care. Borrower hereby waives any right to object to any payment made under any Letter of Credit with regard to a drawing that is in the form provided in such Letter of Credit but which varies with respect to punctuation, capitalization, spelling or similar matters of form.

(vi) Reports of Issuing Bank.

Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders, and Issuing Bank may be removed at any time with or without cause by written agreement among Borrower, Agent and the successor Issuing Bank; provided, however, that Borrower has no right to approve a successor Issuing Bank if a Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor Issuing Bank shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days of after the retiring Issuing Bank gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Issuing Bank may, on behalf of Lenders and Agent, appoint a successor Issuing Bank, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Bank hereunder, Agent shall notify Lenders of such successor Issuing Bank, which shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees and expenses accrued for the account of the retiring Issuing Bank pursuant to Subparagraphs 2.06(c)(ii) and (iii). After the replacement of the retiring Issuing Bank, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but it shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(i) Borrower delivers to Agent prior written notice of such prepayment, which notice shall be delivered (A) not less than three (3), Business Days prior to the prepayment of any Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans and (B) not less than one (1) Business Day prior to any prepayment of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) Any prepayment in part shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, provided that prepayments may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the aggregate amount of all Borrowings outstanding.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time plus the aggregate amount of all Reimbursement Obligations outstanding at such time exceeds any limitations set forth in Subparagraphs 2.05(a), Borrower shall immediately (A) prepay Loans then outstanding and/or pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess and (B) to the extent any excess still remains, provide to Agent cash collateral in the amount of such excess. Agent shall hold any such cash in a non-interest bearing account as collateral for the Obligations. Borrower hereby grants to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in such funds and in such account.

(d) Application of Prepayments. All prepayments of Borrowings shall, to the extent possible, be applied to prepay the Base Rate Borrowings or LIBOR Borrowings designated by Borrower.

2.08. Other Payment Terms.

(a) Place and Manner.

(i) Borrower shall make all payments due to each Lender or Agent hereunder by payments to Agent at Agent’s New York office located at the address specified in Paragraph 8.01, with each such payment due to a Lender to be for the account of such Lender.

(ii) Borrower shall make all payments hereunder in same day or immediately available funds and without deduction or offset not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time and on the date due. Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment received by Agent for the account of such Lender.

(b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that payment of interest on LIBOR Loans shall be made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (as specified in Subparagraph 2.03(b)(i)).

(i) Borrower shall pay principal of, interest on and all other amounts related to each Borrowing or Reimbursement Payment in Dollars. Borrower shall pay Commitment Fees and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in Dollars.

(ii) If any amounts required to be paid by Borrower under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any order, judgment or award given or rendered in relation hereto or thereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable hereunder or thereunder into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (A) making or filing a claim or proof against Borrower with any Governmental Authority, (B) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (C) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,

indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such amounts are payable from and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (1) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the amounts in question from the first currency into the second currency and (2) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Person may, using reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of business, purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of Borrower distinct from their other obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such obligations. The obligations of Borrower under this Subparagraph 2.08(c) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Late Payments. If any amount required to be paid by Borrower under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including principal or interest payable on any Loan, any Reimbursement Payments or interest thereon, any fees or other amounts) remains unpaid after such amount is due, Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding balance of such amount from the date due until such amount is paid in full at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%), such rate to change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change.

(e) Application of Payments. All payments hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, second to accrued interest then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding Loans and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations.

(f) Failure to Pay Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which any payment is due to Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment in full, Agent shall be entitled to assume that Borrower has made or will make such payment in full to Agent on such date and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid to the applicable Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lenders. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to Agent, each such Lender shall repay to Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to Agent, at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Subparagraph 2.08(f) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount.

2.09. Loan Accounts; Notes.

(a) Loan Accounts. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained by such Lender on its books (individually, a “Loan Account”), except that any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a note or notes pursuant to Subparagraph 2.09(b). Each Lender shall record in its Loan Accounts (i) the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, (ii) the interest rates applicable to each such Loan thereof and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, (iv) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on each Loan and (v) such other information as such Lender may determine is necessary for the computation of principal and interest payable to it by Borrower hereunder; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect Borrower’s Obligations hereunder. The Loan Accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of the matters noted therein.

(b) Notes. If any Lender so requests, such Lender’s Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of Exhibit B (individually, a “Note”), which shall be (i) payable to the order of such Lender and (ii) otherwise appropriately completed.

2.10. Loan Funding.

(a) Lender Funding and Disbursements to Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, make available to Agent at Agent’s New York office specified in Paragraph 8.01, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s applicable Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. After Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section III, Agent shall promptly disburse such funds to Borrower no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) in immediately available funds. Agent shall disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing as directed by Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Borrowing, Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Subparagraph 2.10(a), and Agent may on such date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not make the amount of its applicable Proportionate Share of a Borrowing available to Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing, such Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from the date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid to Agent at rates equal to the Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Subparagraph 2.10(b) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount. If the amount of any Lender’s applicable Proportionate Share of any Borrowing is not paid to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Borrowing, Borrower shall repay such amount to Agent, on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was disbursed to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(c) Lenders’ Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as part of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be obligated in any way to make any Loan which another Lender has failed or refused to make or otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure or refusal of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender.

2.11. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein:

(i) Each Borrowing, each participation in each Letter of Credit and reduction of the Total Commitment shall be made or shared among Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares;

(ii) Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders;

(iii) Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders so made or funded by such Lenders and (B) the dates on which such Lenders so made or funded such Loans;

(iv) Each Reimbursement Payment shall be shared among the Lenders (including Issuing Bank) which made or funded the applicable Drawing Payment pro rata according to the respective amounts of such Drawing Payment so made or funded by such Lenders;

(v) Each payment of Commitment Fees and LC Usage Fees shall be shared among Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders but including, with respect to LC Usage Fees, Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares;

(vi) Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) shall be shared among Lenders and Agent owed the amount upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and Agent and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and Agent; and

(vii) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Loan owed to it as part of any Borrowing in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of all Loans in such Borrowing obtained by all applicable Lenders entitled to such payments or Reimbursement Obligations, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from such other Lenders such participations in their Loans or Reimbursement Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to Subparagraph 8.05(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.12. Change of Circumstances.

(a) Inability to Obtain Funds, Determine Rates, Etc. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Borrowing, Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that (i) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Borrowing cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to other circumstances affecting the London interbank market or (ii) the rate of interest for such Borrowing does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making or maintaining such Borrowing, Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to Borrower and the applicable Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, Borrower’s right to obtain, continue or convert to Borrowings at the LIBO Rate shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Borrowings outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be repaid at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Borrowings unless such suspension has then ended.

(b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall immediately notify Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower’s right to obtain, continue or convert to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as Agent shall notify Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and (ii) Borrower shall, if so requested by such Lender, immediately repay such LIBOR Loans if such Lender shall notify Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Loans. Any prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Paragraph 2.14.

(i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by Borrower to any such Lender on such a LIBOR Loan, or in respect to such a LIBOR Loan, under this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of such Lender imposed by its jurisdiction of incorporation, the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, or a jurisdiction in which such Participant is doing business without regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); or

(ii) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the extent included in the calculation of the LIBO Rate for any Loans), special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any Lender for any LIBOR Loan; or

(iii) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition related to any LIBOR Loan, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s Commitments;

And the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan, any Letter of Credit or its Commitments or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder; then Borrower shall from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding party under this Subparagraph 2.12(c) on account of any such increased costs or reduced amounts unless Borrower receives notice of such increased costs or reduced amounts from the demanding party within twelve (12) months after such increased costs or reduced amounts have been incurred or realized accompanied by a certificate executed by an officer of the applicable Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts, which certificate shall constitute prima facie evidence of such costs or amounts. The obligations of Borrower under this Subparagraph 2.12(c) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Lender determines that (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within ten (10) Business Days after demand of such Lender, such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding party under this Subparagraph 2.12(d) on account of any such increased costs unless Borrower receives notice of such increased costs from the demanding party within twelve (12) months after such increased costs have been incurred or realized accompanied by a certificate executed by an officer of the applicable Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such increased costs, which certificate shall constitute prima facie evidence of such costs. The obligations of Borrower under this Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Mitigation. Any Lender which becomes aware of (i) any Change of Law which will make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or (ii) any Change of Law or other event or condition which will obligate Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall notify Borrower and Agent thereof as promptly as practical. If any Lender has given notice of any such Change of Law or other event or condition and thereafter becomes aware that such Change of Law or other event or condition has ceased to exist, such Lender shall notify Borrower and Agent thereof as promptly as practical. Each Lender affected by any Change of Law which

makes it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to which Borrower is obligated to pay any amount pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall use reasonable commercial efforts (including changing the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Offices) to avoid the effect of such Change of Law or to avoid or materially reduce any amounts which Borrower is obligated to pay pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d) if, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, such efforts would not be disadvantageous to such Lender or contrary to such Lender’s normal banking practices.

2.13. Taxes on Payments.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be made free and clear of, and, except as provided herein, without deduction or withholding for or on account of, Non-Excluded Taxes. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, the amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for any taxes (including interest or penalties) that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The obligations of Borrower under this Paragraph 2.13 (i) shall be subject to the indemnification provisions contained in Paragraph 8.03 and (ii) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Withholding Exemption Certificates. On or prior to the Effective Date (or, with respect to any Lender which is not a party to this Agreement on the Effective Date, on or prior to the date any other Lender becomes a Lender hereunder), each Lender which is not organized under the laws of the United States of America shall notify Borrower whether such Lender is entitled to receive payments on its Loans under this Agreement from Borrower’s Applicable Payment Office for the account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office without deduction or withholding of any income taxes (or with reduced deduction or withholding of any such taxes) imposed by the jurisdiction of such Borrower’s Applicable Payment Office and promptly deliver to such Borrower and/or any other appropriate person(s) such certificates, forms and/or other documents certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive such payments without deduction or withholding of taxes (or with reduced deduction or withholding of any such taxes) as such Borrower shall reasonably request to establish such fact. Each such Lender further agrees (i) promptly to notify Borrower and Agent of any change of circumstances (including any change in any treaty, law or regulation or any change of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office) which would prevent such Lender from receiving such payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding of such taxes (or with reduced deduction or withholding of any such taxes) and (ii) if such Lender is still legally entitled to do so, then on or before the date that any certificate, form and/or other documents delivered by such Lender under this Subparagraph 2.13(b) expires or otherwise becomes inapplicable, to deliver to Borrower and Agent a new certificate, form and/or other documents, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive such payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of such taxes (or with reduced deduction or withholding of any such taxes). If any Lender that is legally entitled to do so fails to provide to Agent and Borrower pursuant to this Subparagraph 2.13(b) (or, in the case of a Participant, Subparagraph 8.05(b)) any notifications, certificates or other evidence required by this provision, such Lender shall not be entitled to any indemnification under Subparagraph 2.13(a) for any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on such Lender primarily as a result of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Lender is not entitled to receive payments on its Loans without deduction or withholding of taxes (or with reduced deduction or withholding of any such taxes) and cannot lawfully provide any such forms, it shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Subparagraph 2.13(a).

(c) Mitigation. If Agent or any Lender claims any additional amounts to be payable to it pursuant to this Paragraph 2.13, such Person shall provide to the appropriate Person(s) to the extent it may lawfully do so any certificate, forms, and/or other documents reasonably requested in writing by Borrower certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive a reduced rate of withholding if it is in fact so entitled or to change the jurisdiction of an Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a filing or such change in the jurisdiction of an Applicable Lending Office would avoid the need for or materially reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and if, in the sole discretion of such Person, in the case of a change in the jurisdiction of an Applicable Lending Office, such change would not be disadvantageous to such Person or contrary to such Person’s normal banking practices. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable documented costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any action taken pursuant to this Subparagraph 2.13(c). If Agent or any Lender does not provide the requisite certificate(s), form(s), or other document(s) or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, if not determined to be disadvantageous in its sole discretion, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts that arise from such Agent or Lender’s failure to comply with this Subparagraph 2.13(c).

(d) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 2.13 or Paragraph 8.03 shall require Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(e) Lender Rate Contracts. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 2.13 shall override or supercede any term or provision of any Lender Rate Contract regarding withholding taxes relating to Rate Contracts.

2.14. Funding Loss Indemnification. If Borrower shall (a) repay, prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan after delivering the Notice of Borrowing therefor to Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (c) pursuant to Paragraph 2.16, cause the replacement of any Lender that has made or maintained any LIBOR Loan or (d) fail to pay when due any principal or interest on any LIBOR Loan, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after demand of such Lender, reimburse such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from all reasonable break funding costs and losses incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment, conversion or failure; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding party under this Paragraph 2.14 on account of any such costs or losses unless Borrower receives notice of such costs or losses from the demanding party within twelve (12) months after such costs or losses have been incurred or realized. Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund a LIBOR Loan. Each Lender demanding payment under this Paragraph 2.14 shall deliver to Borrower, with a copy to Agent, a certificate of an officer of such demanding party setting forth the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount demanded. Such a certificate so delivered to Borrower shall constitute prima facie evidence of such costs and losses. The obligations of Borrower under this Paragraph 2.14 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.15. Security.

(a) Guaranties, Etc. The Obligations are secured by a Guaranty in the form of Exhibit C (the “Guaranty”), duly executed by FIL and all Eligible Material Subsidiaries and other Subsidiaries of FIL that have executed the Guaranty or otherwise elected to become a party thereto, with such changes thereto as may be appropriate based on the law of the applicable jurisdictions. In addition, on the Effective Date, FIL shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, (A) favorable written opinions, addressed to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, covering such legal matters as Agent and the Lenders may reasonably request and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and the Lenders, from counsel for each of the above-referenced Subsidiaries, (B) the Reaffirmation Agreement, duly executed by the parties thereto and (C) such other instruments, agreements, certificates and documents as Agent may reasonably request to secure, maintain, protect and evidence the obligations of such Subsidiary under the Guaranty.

(b) Changes in Material Subsidiaries.

(i) If, at any time after the Closing Date, any Subsidiary of FIL that is not a Guarantor under the Guaranty shall become an Eligible Material Subsidiary, FIL promptly shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, within sixty (60) days of becoming aware of any such event, (A) a Subsidiary Joinder in the form of Attachment 1 to the Guaranty, appropriately completed and duly executed by such Subsidiary, and (B) such other instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents as Agent may reasonably request to secure, maintain, protect and evidence the obligations of such Subsidiary under the Guaranty.

(ii) If, at any time after the Closing Date, any Subsidiary of FIL that is a Guarantor under the Guaranty shall cease to be, or shall not have become, an Eligible Material Subsidiary by an action or circumstance not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, Agent shall, if requested by FIL, release such Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty.

(c) Further Assurances. Borrower shall deliver, and shall cause the Guarantors to deliver, to Agent such other guaranties, guaranty supplements and other instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents as Agent and any Lender may reasonably request to implement the provisions of Subparagraphs 2.15(a) and (b) and otherwise to establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights provided to Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, pursuant to the Security Documents. Borrower shall fully cooperate with Agent and Lenders and perform all additional acts reasonably requested by Agent or any Lender to effect the purposes of this Paragraph 2.15. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees that it will ensure that the Subsidiaries that have executed and delivered the Guaranty pursuant to the Existing FIUI Credit Agreement and Existing FIL Credit Agreement will have revenues or assets that constitute at least (i) 53% of consolidated total revenues of FIL or (ii) 60% of consolidated total assets of FIL, respectively, during each fiscal year of FIL, as reflected on the most recently delivered annual audited Financial Statements for FIL.

2.16. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender shall (a) become a Defaulting Lender more than one (1) time in a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, (b) continue as a Defaulting Lender for more than three (3) Business Days at any time, (c) suspend its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(b) for a reason which is not applicable to any other Lender or (d) demand any payment under Subparagraph 2.12(a), 2.12(c) or 2.12(d) for a reason which is not applicable to any other Lender, then Agent may (or upon the written request of Borrower, shall) replace such Lender (the “affected Lender”), or cause such affected Lender to be replaced, with another lender (the “replacement Lender”) satisfying the requirements of an Assignee Lender under Subparagraph 8.05(c), by having the affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the replacement Lender pursuant to Subparagraph 8.05(c); provided, however, that if Borrower seeks to exercise such right, they must do so within sixty (60) days after Borrower first knows or should have known of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to such right, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a replacement Lender for Borrower; and provided, further, that no Lender shall be replaced under this Agreement unless such Lender is also replaced under the FIL Credit Agreement. Upon receipt by any affected Lender of a written notice from Agent stating that Agent is exercising the replacement right set forth in this Paragraph 2.16, (a) such affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and Subparagraph 8.05(c) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the affected Lender’s Loans so sold and assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled and (b) Borrower shall pay any amounts owed to such Lender by Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION III.

The submission by Borrower to Agent of each Notice of Borrowing and each LC Application shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower that each of the statements set forth above in this Subparagraph 3.02(b) is true and correct as of the date of such notice.

3.03. Covenant to Deliver. Borrower expressly agrees that the occurrence of any such Credit Event prior to the receipt by Agent of any such item (and Issuing Bank in the case of an LC Application) shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or any Lender of Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item.

SECTION IV.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

4.01. Borrower’s Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders as follows:

(a) Due Incorporation, Qualification, etc. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and, in any jurisdiction in which such legal concept is applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has the power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and carry on its business as now conducted and (iii) is duly qualified and licensed to do business as a foreign corporation or branch in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or licensed is reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authority. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and each Guarantor of each Credit Document executed, or to be executed, by such Person and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (i) are within the power of such Person and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of such Person.

(c) Enforceability. Each Credit Document executed, or to be executed, by Borrower and each Guarantor has been, or will be, duly executed and delivered by such Person and constitutes, or when executed will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

(d) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by Borrower and each Guarantor of the Credit Documents executed by such Person and the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not (i) violate any Requirement of Law applicable to such Person, (ii) violate any provision of, or result in the breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both), any Contractual Obligation of such Person or (iii) result

in the creation or imposition of any Lien (or the obligation to create or impose any Lien) upon any property, asset or revenue of such Person.

(e) Approvals. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person (including the shareholders of any Person) is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents executed by Borrower and each Guarantor and the performance or consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except such as (i) have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or (ii) are being made or obtained in a timely manner and once made or obtained will be in full force and effect.

(f) No Violation or Default. None of FIL, Borrower, any other Guarantor nor any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries is in violation of or in default with respect to (i) any Requirement of Law applicable to such Person or (ii) any Contractual Obligation of such Person, where, in each case or in the aggregate, such violation or default is reasonably and substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of FIL, Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries (i) has violated any Environmental Laws, (ii) to the knowledge of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of FIL’s Subsidiaries, has any liability under any Environmental Laws or (iii) has received notice or other communication of an investigation or, to the knowledge of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of FIL’s Subsidiaries, is under investigation by any Governmental Authority having authority to enforce Environmental Laws, where such violation, liability or investigation is reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

(g) Litigation. No actions (including derivative actions), suits, proceedings or investigations are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against Borrower, any Guarantor or any of FIL’s Subsidiaries at law or in equity in any court or before any other Governmental Authority which (i) based upon the written advice of such Person’s outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be determined adversely and if so adversely determined is reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) seeks to enjoin, either directly or indirectly, the execution, delivery or performance by Borrower or any Guarantor of the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(h) Title; Possession Under Leases. Borrower, each Guarantor and each of FIL’s Subsidiaries own and have good and indefeasible title, or a valid leasehold interest in, all their respective material properties and assets as reflected in the most recent Financial Statements delivered to Agent (except those assets and properties disposed of in the ordinary course of business or otherwise in compliance with this Agreement since the date of such Financial Statements) and all respective material assets and properties acquired by Borrower, each Guarantor and FIL’s Subsidiaries since such date (except those disposed of in the ordinary course of business or otherwise in compliance with this Agreement). Such assets and properties are subject to no Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

(i) Financial Statements. The Financial Statements of FIL and its Subsidiaries which have been delivered to Agent, (i) are in accordance with the books and records of FIL and its Subsidiaries, which have been maintained in accordance with good business practice, (ii) have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and (iii) fairly present in all material respects the financial conditions and results of operations of FIL and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and for the period covered thereby. Neither FIL nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Contingent Obligations, liability for taxes or other outstanding obligations which are material in the aggregate, except as disclosed or reflected in the Financial Statements of FIL dated December 31, 2004, furnished by FIL to Agent prior to the date hereof, or in the Financial Statements delivered to Agent pursuant to (i) or (ii) of Subparagraph 5.01(a), or except as permitted under Section V of this Agreement.

(j) Employee Benefit Plans.

(i) Based on the latest valuation of each Employee Benefit Plan that FIL, Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation under (which occurred within twelve months of the date of this representation), the aggregate benefit liabilities of such

plan within the meaning of section 4001 of ERISA did not materially exceed the aggregate value of the assets of such plan. Neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any material liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under any Employee Benefit Plan which is a welfare plan (as defined in section 3(1) of ERISA), other than liability for health plan continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I(B) of ERISA, which liability for health plan contribution coverage is not reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Each Employee Benefit Plan complies, in both form and operation, in all material respects, with its terms, ERISA and the IRC, and no condition exists or event has occurred with respect to any such plan which would result in the incurrence by FIL, Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of any material liability, fine or penalty. Each Employee Benefit Plan, related trust agreement, arrangement and commitment of FIL, Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is legally valid and binding and is in all material respects in full force and effect. No Employee Benefit Plan is being audited or investigated by any government agency or is subject to any pending or threatened claim or suit. Neither FIL, Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate nor, to the knowledge or Borrower, any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in a prohibited transaction under section 406 of ERISA or section 4975 of the IRC.

(iii) Neither FIL, Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate contributes to or has any material contingent obligations to any Multiemployer Plan. Neither FIL, any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under section 4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in section 4204 of ERISA. Neither FIL, any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of section 4241 or section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under section 4041A of ERISA.

(iv) All employer and employee contributions required by any applicable Governmental Rule in connection with all Foreign Plans have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in all material respects, in accordance with the country-specific or other applicable accounting practices. The fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient, except to the extent that is not reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect, to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Foreign Plan, which actuarial assumptions are commercially reasonable. Each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable Governmental Authorities except to the extent that is not reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Foreign Plan reasonably complies in all material respects with all applicable Governmental Rules.

(k) Other Regulations. None of FIL, Borrower or any Material Subsidiary is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code or any other Governmental Rule that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

(l) Patent and Other Rights. FIL, Borrower and each of FIL’s Subsidiaries own, license or otherwise have the full right to use, under validly existing agreements, without known conflict with any rights of others, all patents, licenses, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, service marks, copyrights and all rights with respect thereto, which are required to conduct their businesses as now conducted, except such patents, licenses, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, service marks, copyrights and all rights with

respect thereto which if not validly owned or used would not be reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Governmental Charges. FIL, Borrower and each of FIL’s Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns, reports and declarations which are required to be filed by them. FIL, Borrower and each of FIL’s Subsidiaries have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes and other Governmental Charges which have or may have become due pursuant to said returns or otherwise and all other indebtedness, except such Governmental Charges or indebtedness, if any, which are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with GAAP) have been provided or which are not reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect if unpaid.

(n) Margin Stock. Borrower does not own any Margin Stock which, in the aggregate, would constitute a substantial part of the assets of Borrower, and no proceeds of any Loan and no Letter of Credit will be used to purchase or carry, directly or indirectly, any Margin Stock or to extend credit, directly or indirectly, to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

(o) Subsidiaries, Etc. Schedule 4.01(o) (on the Effective Date as of March 31, 2005 and as thereafter updated on a quarterly basis by Borrower in a written notice to Agent no later than the date set forth in Subparagraph 5.01(a)(vi)) sets forth each of FIL’s Significant Subsidiaries and Material Subsidiaries (together with certain other Subsidiaries), its jurisdiction of organization, the percentages of shares owned directly or indirectly by FIL and whether FIL owns such shares directly or, if not, the Subsidiary of FIL that owns such shares.

(p) Solvency, Etc. FIL, Borrower, each Guarantor and each Material Subsidiary is Solvent and, after the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will be Solvent.

(q) Senior Debt. Borrower has taken all actions necessary for the Obligations to constitute “Designated Senior Debt” for the purposes of and as defined in the Subordinated Indenture.

(r) No Withholding, Etc. Except as otherwise disclosed by a Borrower to the Agent from time to time, Borrower does not have actual knowledge of any requirement under any Governmental Rule to make any deduction or withholding of any nature whatsoever from any payment required to be made by Borrower or any or Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document. Neither this Agreement nor any of the other Credit Documents is subject to any registration or stamp tax or any other similar or like taxes payable in any relevant jurisdiction.

(s) Foreign Subsidiaries.

(i) No Immunities, etc. Each Foreign Subsidiary that is a Guarantor is subject to civil and commercial law with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the execution, delivery and performance by each such Foreign Subsidiary of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute and will constitute private and commercial acts and not public or governmental acts. Neither such Foreign Subsidiary nor any of its property, whether or not held for its own account, has any immunity (sovereign or other similar immunity) from any suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or, if applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or other similar immunity) under laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each such Foreign Subsidiary has waived every immunity (sovereign or otherwise) to which it or any of its properties would otherwise be entitled from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court and from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and

existing in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The waiver by each such Foreign Subsidiary described in the immediately preceding sentence is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Foreign Subsidiary.

(ii) No Recordation Necessary. This Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents executed by a Foreign Subsidiary is in proper legal form under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing for the enforcement hereof or thereof against such Foreign Subsidiary under the law of such jurisdiction, and to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement and such other Credit Documents. It is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement or any other Credit Document executed by a Foreign Subsidiary that this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other document be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other authority in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing or that any registration charge or stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other document, except for any such filing, registration or recording, or execution or notarization, as has been made or is not required to be made until this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other document is sought to be enforced and for any charge or tax as has been timely paid.

(iii) Exchange Controls. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents executed by a Foreign Subsidiary is, under applicable foreign exchange control regulations of the jurisdiction in which Borrower or Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing, not subject to any notification or authorization except (A) such as have been made or obtained or (B) such as cannot be made or obtained until a later date and are listed on Schedule 4.01(s) hereto (provided any notification or authorization described in this clause (B) shall be made or obtained as soon as is reasonably practicable).

(t) No Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred and no condition exists which, alone or in the aggregate, (i) has had (and continues to have) or (ii) is reasonably and substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Accuracy of Information Furnished. The Credit Documents and the other certificates, statements and information (excluding projections) furnished to Agent or any Lender in writing by or on behalf of FIL, Borrower, the Guarantors and FIL’s Subsidiaries in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, taken as a whole, do not contain and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit and will not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All projections have been based upon reasonable assumptions and represent, as of their respective dates of presentations, FIL’s and Borrower’s best estimates of the future performance of FIL, Borrower, the Guarantors and FIL’s Subsidiaries.

4.02. Reaffirmation. Borrower shall be deemed to have reaffirmed, for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent, each representation and warranty contained in Paragraph 4.01 on and as of the date of each Credit Event (except for representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified date, which shall be true as of such date).

SECTION VII.

THE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS.

7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this

Agreement or in any other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender or have any fiduciary duty to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any applicable Governmental Rule. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by FIL, Borrower or any other Guarantor contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure by FIL, Borrower or any other Guarantor to perform their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders.

7.02. Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all cases be fully protected by Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of Lenders.

7.03. Defaults. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or Borrower, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. If Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders.

7.04. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent, ratably in accordance with their Proportionate Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The obligations of each Lender under this Paragraph 7.04 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of FIL, Borrower and FIL’s other Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall (a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance by FIL, Borrower or any other Guarantor of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or

to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of FIL, Borrower or any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries, (b) have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning FIL, Borrower or any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of Agent, except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder or (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by FIL, Borrower, any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries or any officer, employee or agent of FIL, Borrower, or any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document, or (iii) any failure by FIL, Borrower or any other Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

7.06. Resignation or Removal of Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders, and Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which Agent, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no right to approve a successor Agent if a Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days of after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, at which point (and not earlier) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

7.07. Agent in its Individual Capacity. Agent, Issuing Bank and their respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with FIL, Borrower and any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries and affiliates as though Agent was not Agent hereunder and Issuing Bank was not Issuing Bank hereunder . With respect to Loans, if any, made by Agent in its capacity as a Lender and Letters of Credit, if any, issued by Issuing Bank in its capacity as Issuing Bank, Agent and Issuing Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent or Issuing Bank, respectively, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its capacity as a Lender and Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender, respectively.

The Lead Arranger, Co-Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Senior Managing Agents, the Managing Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents do not assume any responsibility or obligation under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any duties as agents for the Lenders. The title “Lead Arranger”, “Co-Lead Arranger”, “Syndication Agent”, “Senior Managing Agents”, “Managing Agents” and “Co-Documentation Agents” implies no fiduciary responsibility on the part of any Lead Arranger, Co-Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent, Senior Managing Agents, Managing Agents and Co-Documentation Agent to any Person, and the use of such title does not impose on any Lead Arranger, Co-Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent, Senior Managing Agents, Managing Agents and Co-Documentation Agent any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

Each Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection and LC Application shall be given by Borrower to Agent, and in the case of an LC Application, to Agent and Issuing Bank, to the office of such Person located at the address referred to above during such office’s normal business hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by any such Person after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on any Business Day shall be deemed received by such Person on the next Business Day. In any case where this Agreement authorizes notices, requests, demands or other communications by Borrower to Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender to be made by telephone or facsimile, Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender may conclusively presume that anyone purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate or other similar document received by Agent or a Lender is such a person.

8.02. Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay on demand, whether or not any Loan is made or Letter of Credit is issued hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of amendments and waivers hereunder and thereunder and (b) all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Agent and Lenders in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any of the Obligations or in preserving any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies (including all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or the Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving FIL, Borrower or any of FIL’s other Subsidiaries). As used herein, the term “reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses” shall include, without limitation, allocable costs and expenses of Agent’s and Lenders’ in-house legal counsel and staff. The obligations of Borrower under this Paragraph 8.02 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages or expenses of any kind or nature (including, with respect to Taxes, only those Taxes that constitute Non-Excluded Taxes) and from any suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of or relating to the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby, including any use by Borrower of any proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit, except to the extent such liability arises from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee. Each request for any indemnity payment by an Indemnitee under this Paragraph 8.03 must be accompanied by a reasonably detailed written explanation identifying the liability, loss, damage or expense regarding which the indemnification is being requested and explaining the basis for such indemnification claim. In addition, if any Lender determines reasonably, in good faith, and in its sole discretion that it has received a refund of, credit or benefit of a deduction resulting from, any Non-Excluded Taxes to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Paragraph 8.03 or Paragraph 2.13, it shall pay the amount of such refund, credit or benefit of such deduction to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower

with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund, credit or deduction), net of all incurred out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, credit or benefit of such deduction); provided, however, that Borrower shall, upon the written request of such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required by force of law to repay such refund, credit or benefit of such deduction to such Governmental Authority. The obligations of Borrower under this Paragraph 8.03 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended or waived, and any consent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be given, if such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by Borrower and the Combined Required Lenders; provided, however, that:

(i) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (A) increase the Total Commitment (other than as provided in Subparagraph 2.05(d)), (B) postpone, delay or extend the Maturity Date, (C) reduce the principal of or interest on any Loans or any Letter of Credit, the Commitment Fees or any other fees or amounts payable for the account of all Lenders hereunder (D) postpone, delay or extend the scheduled date for payment of any such principal, interest, fees or amounts, (E) amend this Paragraph 8.04, (F) amend the definition of Required Lenders or Combined Required Lenders or (G) release any Guarantor (except for releases as provided in Paragraph 2.15), must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders;

(ii) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender (except (A) for a pro rata decrease in the Commitments of all Lenders and (B) as provided in Subparagraph 2.05(d)) must be in writing and signed by such Lender;

(iii) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would alter Paragraph 2.11 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby must be in writing and signed by all Lenders;

(iv) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would change any provision of any Credit Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans under this Agreement differently than those Lenders holding Loans under the FIL Credit Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders; and

(v) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank must be in writing and signed by the Issuing Bank; and

(vi) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or obligations of Agent must be in writing and signed by Agent.

No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

8.05. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lenders, Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in Subparagraph 8.04 (i), (ii) or (iii), to the extent applicable but may not otherwise require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. Borrower also agrees that any Lender which has transferred any participating interest in its Commitments or Loans shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full benefits accorded such Lender under Paragraph 2.12, Paragraph 2.13, and Paragraph 2.14, as if such Lender had not made such transfer.

(c) Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to any Eligible Assignee (individually, an “Assignee Lender”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (such a sale and assignment to be referred to herein as an “Assignment”) pursuant to an assignment and assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit D (an “Assignment and Assumption”), executed by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an “Assignor Lender”) and delivered to Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that:

(i) Without the written consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment of its Commitment or Loans to any Assignee Lender which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate thereof;

(ii) Without the written consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment of its Commitment and Loans to any Assignee Lender if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the Commitment (or, after the termination of the Commitments, the Loans) of such Assignor Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), except that a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Commitment (or, after the termination of the Commitments, its Loans) to zero without the written consent of FIL and the Issuing Bank;

(iii) Without the written consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment of its Commitment and Loans which does not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in such Lender’s Commitment, Loans and all other rights, duties and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

(iv) No Lender may make any Assignment of its Commitment and Loans under this Agreement to any Assignee Lender unless such Lender concurrently assigns and delegates to such Assignee Lender an equal pro rata interest in such Lender’s “Commitment” and “Loans” under the FIL Credit Agreement; and

(v) Without the written consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent, Issuing Bank and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment of its Commitments and Loans to any Assignee Lender in an aggregate principal amount of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), except that a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Commitment (or,

after the termination of the Commitments, its Loans) to zero without the written consent of FIL and the Agent.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment and Assumption, from and after the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) each Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with Commitments or Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment and Assumption (under the caption “Commitments or Loans After Assignment”) and shall have the rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall be a Lender with Commitments or Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment and Assumption (under the caption “Commitments or Loans After Assignment”), or, if the Commitments or Loans of the Assignor Lender have been reduced to zero, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however, that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender, the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Commitments or Loans to zero, or the resulting adjustment of Commitments or Loans arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, as the case may be. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to each Assignment and Assumption, Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by Assignee Lenders, execute and deliver to Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Notes, if any, of the Assignor Lender thereunder, new Notes to the order of each Assignee Lender thereunder and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender hereunder, new Notes to the order of the Assignor Lender. The Notes surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by Agent to Borrower marked “replaced”. Each Assignee Lender which becomes a Lender and was not previously such a Lender hereunder shall, prior to becoming such a Lender, deliver such certificates and other evidence as is required by Subparagraph 2.13(b).

(d) Register. Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Paragraph 8.01 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments or Loans of each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Commitments or Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required by Subparagraph 8.05(c), by Borrower, Agent and Issuing Bank) together with payment to Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and processing fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to Lenders and Borrower. Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to Lenders and Borrower a revised Schedule I reflecting the names, addresses and respective Commitments or Loans of all Lenders then parties hereto.

(f) Confidentiality. Subject to Paragraph 8.11, Agent and Lenders may disclose the Credit Documents and any financial or other information relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary to each other or to any potential Participant or Assignee Lender.

(g) Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign or pledge all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Paragraph 8.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest. No such assignment shall relieve the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

8.06. Set-off; Security Interest.

(a) Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with prior notice to Agent but without prior notice to or consent of Borrower, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the Obligations of Borrower any amount owing from such Lender to Borrower. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrower or against anyone else claiming through or against Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) Security Interest. As security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Agent and each Lender, for the benefit of all Lenders, a continuing security interest in any and all deposit accounts or moneys of Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with respect to such security interest.

8.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

8.08. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF BORROWER, LENDERS AND AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT.

8.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

8.11. Confidentiality. Neither any Lender nor Agent shall disclose to any Person any information with respect to Borrower, any Guarantor or any of FIL’s Subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or under the other Credit Documents, except that any Lender or Agent may disclose any such information (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, auditors, counsel and other advisors and to its Affiliates, (b) to any other Lender or Agent, (c) which is otherwise available to the public, (d) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or Agent, (e) if required in response to any summons or subpoena, (f) in connection with any enforcement by Lenders and Agent of their rights under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any litigation among the parties relating to the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, (g) to comply with any Requirement of Law applicable to such Lender or Agent, (h) to any actual or prospective Assignee Lender, Participant or counterparty (or its advisors) to any Rate Contract, provided that such Person agrees to be bound by this Paragraph 8.11, or (i) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, however, that (i) any Lender or Agent served with any summons or subpoena demanding the disclosure of any such information shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrower promptly of such summons or subpoena if not prohibited by any Requirement of Law and, if requested by Borrower and not disadvantageous to such Lender or Agent, to cooperate with Borrower in obtaining a protective order restricting such disclosure, and (ii) any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of FIL, Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

8.12. Consent to Jurisdiction. Borrower irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America, in either case located in the City of New York, and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against Borrower in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Paragraph 8.12 shall affect the right of Agent or any Lender to commence legal proceedings or otherwise xxx Borrower in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon Borrower in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. Borrower agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower hereby appoints, in the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of or in the State of New York, CT Corporation, with offices on the date hereof at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, to receive for it and on its behalf, service of process in the State of New York with respect thereto, provided Borrower may appoint any other person, reasonably acceptable to Agent, with offices in the State of New York to replace such agent for service of process upon delivery to Agent of a reasonably acceptable agreement of such new agent agreeing so to act. Borrower irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above, (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the United States of America, (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process, and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of Borrower or to post a bond or to take similar action. The obligations of Borrower under this Paragraph 8.12 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.13. Usury. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document ever obligate Borrower to pay or allow any Lender to collect interest on any Loan or any other Obligation of Borrower hereunder at a rate greater than the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law (herein referred to as the “highest lawful rate”), or obligate Borrower to pay any taxes, assessments, charges, insurance premiums or other amounts to the extent that such payments, when added to the interest payable on the Loans or any other Obligations, would be held to constitute the payment by Borrower of interest at a rate greater than the highest lawful rate. This provision shall control over any provision to the contrary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the maturity of all or any part of the principal amount of the Obligations of Borrower shall be accelerated for any reason, then such principal amount so accelerated shall be credited with any interest theretofore paid thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such acceleration. If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any funds are applied to the payment of any part of the principal amount of the Obligations of Borrower prior to the maturity thereof, then (a) any interest which would otherwise thereafter accrue on the principal amount so paid by such application shall be canceled and (b) the Obligations of Borrower remaining unpaid after such application shall be credited with the amount of all interest, if any, theretofore collected on the principal amount so paid by such application and remaining unearned at the date of said application; and if the funds so applied shall be sufficient to pay in full all the Obligations of Borrower, then the Lenders shall refund to Borrower all interest theretofore paid thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such acceleration. Regardless of any other provision in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Borrower shall be required to pay any unearned interest on any Obligations or any portion thereof, or be required to pay interest thereon at a rate in excess of the highest lawful rate construed by courts having competent jurisdiction thereof.

8.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

8.15. Existing FIUI Credit Agreement; Effectiveness of this Agreement. Until this Agreement becomes effective in accordance with the terms hereof, the Existing FIUI Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected hereby. After the Effective Date, all obligations of Borrower under the Existing FIUI Credit Agreement shall become obligations of Borrower hereunder, secured by the Security Documents, and the provisions of the Existing FIUI Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof.

Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of copies of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

2. Guaranty.

(a) Payment Guaranty. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, and promises to pay and perform as and when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations, provided that with respect to Flextronics Manufacturing France, such guarantee shall be limited as provided in Paragraph 7 hereof. If (i) Borrower fails to pay any Guaranteed Obligation or (ii) any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to Borrower is commenced, each Guarantor further unconditionally guarantees and promises to and will forthwith pay and perform, upon the demand of Agent, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, whether or not such obligations are then due and payable by any Guarantor and whether or not such obligations are modified, reduced or discharged in such Debtor Relief Proceeding. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

(b) Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable continuing guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall continue in effect until (i) all the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash, (ii) the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, (iii) the aggregate amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit outstanding and all Reimbursement Obligations outstanding have been reduced to zero and (iv) the Issuing Bank has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement. If any payment on any Guaranteed Obligation is set aside, avoided, rescinded or otherwise recovered from Agent or any Lender, such recovered payment shall constitute a Guaranteed Obligation hereunder and, if this Guaranty was previously released or terminated, it automatically shall be fully reinstated, as if such payment was never made.

(c) Joint, Several and Independent Obligations. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is joint and several and is independent of the Guaranteed Obligations. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor for the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations irrespective of whether action is brought against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or whether Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations is joined in any such action or actions.

(d) Fraudulent Transfer Limitation. If, in any action to enforce this Guaranty, any court of competent jurisdiction determines that enforcement against any Guarantor for the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations is not lawful under or would be subject to avoidance under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provision of any comparable law of any state or other jurisdiction, the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the maximum amount lawful and not subject to such avoidance.

(e) Termination. Notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty in accordance with Paragraph 2(a) hereof, this Guaranty shall continue to be in full force and effect and applicable to any Guaranteed Obligations arising thereafter which arise because prior payments of Guaranteed Obligations are rescinded or otherwise required to be surrendered by Agent or any Lender after receipt.

(f) No Discharge or Disbursement of Guaranty. Without limiting Paragraph 3 hereof, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the

C-3

Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

3. Authorizations, Waivers, Etc.

(a) Authorizations. Each Guarantor authorizes Agent and Lenders, in their discretion, without notice to or further assent from such Guarantor, irrespective of any change in the financial condition of Borrower, such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations since the date hereof, and without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor hereunder, from time to time to:

(ii) Any defense arising by reason of the application by Borrower of the proceeds of any borrowing;

(iii) Any defense resulting from the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification, contribution or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security, whether resulting from an election by Agent or any Lender to foreclose upon security by nonjudicial sale or otherwise;

(iv) any defense based upon or relating to the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;

C-4

(xv) Any right it may have to a fair value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency judgment following any foreclosure on any security for the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Financial Condition of Borrower, Etc. Each Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower. Each Guarantor has executed this Guaranty without reliance upon any representation, warranty, statement or information concerning Borrower furnished to such Guarantor by Agent or any Lender and has, independently and without reliance on Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial

C-5

condition and affairs of Borrower and of other circumstances affecting the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor is in a position to obtain, and assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information about the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and of other circumstances affecting the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations and will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action in connection with this Guaranty.

4. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and obligations owed to such Guarantor by Borrower, including all rights of such Guarantor against Borrower arising as a result of payments pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) of this Guaranty by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in this Paragraph 4.

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to Borrower), each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from Borrower on account of Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to Borrower), however, unless Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to Borrower, each Guarantor agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment of all Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to Borrower), each Guarantor shall, if Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for Agent and Lenders and deliver such payments to Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(d) Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), Agent is authorized and empowered (but in no way obligated), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses).

5. Contribution among Guarantors. Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their rights of contribution from each other when any payment is made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty. Accordingly, if any payment is made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty (a “Funding Guarantor”) that exceeds its Fair Share, the Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in the amount of such other Guarantor’s Fair Share Shortfall, so that all such contributions shall cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Guaranty Payments to equal its Fair Share. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined by the Funding Guarantor as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the Funding Guarantor, and such determination shall be binding on the other Guarantors absent manifest error. The allocation and right of contribution among Guarantors set forth in this Paragraph 5 shall not be construed to limit in any way the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.

C-6

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon any Guarantor or Agent under this Guaranty or the other Credit Documents shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered, (i) if to Agent, at its facsimile number or address set forth below, (ii) if to any Guarantor, at its facsimile number or address set forth below its signature below or in the respective Subsidiary Joinder for such Guarantor or (iii) to such other facsimile number or address for Agent or any Guarantor as indicated in any notice given by Agent or any Guarantor, as the case may be, to the other parties to this Guaranty.

(i) Each Guarantor shall make all payments of the Guaranteed Obligations to Agent at the office of Agent and at the times specified in the Credit Documents for the payment of such Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor shall make all other payments hereunder at such office as Agent may designate. Each payment shall be made in same-day or immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due.

(ii) Each Guarantor shall make all payments of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder in the currency in which such Guaranteed Obligations are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Credit Documents and shall make all other payments hereunder in Dollars; provided, however, that, if Agent shall request a Guarantor to pay any amount hereunder in the lawful currency of the United States which would otherwise be payable in another currency, such Guarantor shall pay to Agent the Dollar Equivalent of such amount.

(iii) If any sum due from any Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or any order, judgment or award given or rendered in relation hereto or thereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable hereunder or thereunder into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (A) making or filing a claim or proof against such Guarantor with any Governmental Authority, (B) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (C) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, such Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such sum is due from

C-7

and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (1) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the amounts in question from the first currency into the second currency and (2) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Person may, using reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of business, purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of each Guarantor distinct from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such obligations.

(iv) If any amounts required to be paid by any Guarantor under this Guaranty or any order, judgment or award given or rendered in relation hereto remain unpaid after such amounts are due, such Guarantor shall pay interest on the aggregate outstanding balance of such amounts from the date due until those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to:

(1) In the case of amounts payable in Dollars, the Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%), such rate to change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change; or

(2) In the case of amounts payable in any other currency, the Overnight Rate for such currency plus three percent (3.00%), such rate to change from time to time as the Overnight Rate shall change.

(d) Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand (i) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Guaranty and the preparation, execution and delivery of any amendments and waivers hereunder and (ii) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Guaranty or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or in preserving any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies (including all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any Borrower, or any of their respective affiliates).

(e) Waivers; Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended or modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written instruments signed by each Guarantor and Agent and subject to any consent required in accordance with Paragraph 8.04 of the Credit Agreement. Each waiver or consent under any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instances for the purpose for which given. No failure or delay on Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right or power.

(f) Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders, and, provided, further, that Agent or any Lender may sell, assign and delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder only as permitted by the Credit Agreement. All references in this Guaranty to any Person shall be deemed to include all permitted successors and assigns of such Person.

(g) Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Agent and Lenders by virtue of any applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, all of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder.

C-8

(h) Set-off; Security Interest.

(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by law (including other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with prior notice to Agent but without prior notice to or consent of any Guarantor, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by each Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and apply against the obligations of each Guarantor any amount owing from such Lender to such Guarantor. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against a Guarantor or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Guarantor or against anyone else claiming through or against such Guarantor or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(ii) As security for the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, each Guarantor hereby grants to Agent and each Lender, for the benefit of all Lenders, a continuing security interest in any and all deposit accounts or moneys of such Guarantor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with respect to such security interest.

(i) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, all present and future Non-Excluded Taxes. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Guaranty or the other Credit Documents, as applicable. If under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, a payment by a Guarantor pursuant to this Subparagraph 6(h) to Agent or any Lender may be made without deduction or withholding of any Taxes (or with reduced deduction or withholding of any Taxes), the Agent and such Lender (as applicable) shall, upon written request by the applicable Guarantor, use reasonable efforts to file with the appropriate tax authorities and deliver to Guarantor such certificates and other evidence requested by Guarantor establishing Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement to such eliminated or reduced withholding. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall send to Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Guarantor showing payment thereof. If Guarantors fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Guarantors shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for any taxes (including interest or penalties) that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The obligations of Guarantors under this Subparagraph 6(h) shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Guaranty. Nothing contained in this Subparagraph 6(h) shall require Agent or any Lender to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which Agent or any Lender deems to be confidential).

(j) Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Guaranty is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of any such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

C-9

(k) Jury Trial. EACH OF GUARANTORS, LENDERS AND AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY.

(l) Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and any set of which signed by all the Guarantors shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

(m) Survival of Guaranty. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower or any Guarantor in the Credit Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect until (A) all the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash, (B) the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, (C) the aggregate amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit outstanding and all Reimbursement Obligations outstanding have been reduced to zero and (D) the Issuing Bank has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

(n) Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc.

(i) This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(ii) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York. In addition, Each Guarantor agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any of the other Credit Documents may be brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against a Guarantor in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Subparagraph 6(m)(ii) shall affect the right of Agent or any Lender to commence legal proceedings or otherwise xxx any Guarantor in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any Guarantor in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. Each Guarantor agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby appoints, in the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of or in the State of New York, CT Corporation, with offices on the date hereof at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, to receive for it and on its behalf, service of process in the State of New York with respect thereto, provided that each Guarantor may appoint any other person, reasonably acceptable to Agent, with offices in the State of New York to replace such agent for service of process upon delivery to Agent of a reasonably acceptable agreement of such new agent agreeing so to act. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (A) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence of this Subparagraph 6(m)(ii) above, (B) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (C) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the United States of America, (D) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process, and

C-10

(E) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of any Guarantor or to post a bond or to take similar action.

(ii) the Net Asset Value of the Flextronics Manufacturing France calculated on the basis of its audited financial statements available at the date on which demand is made pursuant to this Guaranty.

A certificate of the statutory auditors of the Flextronics Manufacturing France as to the Net Asset Value shall be conclusive evidence as to the amount to which it relates.

(c) The limitations set forth in this Paragraph 7 with respect to Flextronics Manufacturing France shall in no way limit the Guaranty of any other Guarantor hereunder. Without limiting Subparagraph 6(i), if at any time the Guaranty of Flextronics Manufacturing France is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty against the other Guarantors shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
