Additionally, in connection with any increase in the Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.06,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender that has so agreed to increase
its Term Loan Commitment or become a Lender hereunder agrees to make a Term Loan in Dollars to the
Borrower on the date determined pursuant to Section 2.06 in an aggregate principal amount equal to
such Lender’s increase in its Term Loan Commitment or its new Term Loan Commitment determined
pursuant to Section 2.06. The sum of all Term Loans made by the Lenders is defined as the
Aggregate Term Loans.
18
SECTION 2.02. Term Loans and Borrowings. (a) The failure of any Lender to make its
Term Loans required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations
hereunder; provided that the Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender
shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Term Loans as required hereunder.
(b) Subject to Section 2.11, each portion of the Term Loans shall be comprised of ABR Loans
or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled
to elect, convert or continue any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto
would end after the Maturity Date.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender at its option may make
any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign office, branch or Affiliate of
such Lender (an “Applicable Lending Installation”) to make such Term Loan that has been designated
by such Lender to the Administrative Agent. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such
Applicable Lending Installation of such Lender and the Term Loans and any Notes issued hereunder
executed in connection herewith shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such
Applicable Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower, designate replacement or additional Applicable Lending Installations through
which Term Loans will be made by it and for whose account Term Loan payments are to be made. Each
Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has
actual knowledge occurring after the date hereof which will entitle such Lender to compensation
pursuant to Section 2.12 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Installation if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in
the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or contrary to its
policies.
SECTION 2.03. Requests for Term Loan Borrowings. To request the initial Term Loan
Borrowing to be made on the Effective Date or any subsequent Term Loan under Section 2.06 in
connection with an increase in the Aggregate Term Loan Commitments, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not
later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing
or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, one Business Day
before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative
Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and
(iii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest
Period”; and
If no election as to the Type of Term Loan Borrowing is specified, then the requested Term
Loan Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any
requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one
19
month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount
of such Lender’s Term Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Term Loan to be
made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 12:00 noon, Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by
it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Term Loans
available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in such location determined by the
Administrative Agent.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the
case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such
amount shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower
may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the
case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this
Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the
affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Term Loans comprising each such portion
shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Each portion of the Term Loan elected at any time to be
of the same Type shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the applicable
$1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at
the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurocurrency
Borrowings outstanding.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from
such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy
to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:
20
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options
are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be
allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency
Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and
of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless
such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing
shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request
(including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower,
then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to
or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall
be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.06. Termination and Increases of Term Loan Commitments. (a) Unless
previously terminated, the Term Loan Commitments in effect on the Effective Date shall terminate at
5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the Effective Date.
(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Borrower may, upon at least ten (10) days
(or such other period of time agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Term Loan Commitments from time
to time, either by designating a lender not theretofore a Lender to become a Lender (such
designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which
shall not be unreasonably withheld) or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Term
Loan Commitment shall be increased (thus increasing the Aggregate Term Loan Commitments);
provided that:
(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder as of the effective date
of such increase;
(ii) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and contained in Article
III shall be true and correct on and as of the effective date with the same effect as if
made on and as of such date (other than those representations and warranties that by their
terms speak
as of a particular date, which representations and warranties shall be true and
correct as of such particular date);
21
(iii) the amount of such increase in the Aggregate Term Loan Commitments shall not be
less than $10,000,000, and shall not cause the Aggregate Term Loan Commitments to exceed
$200,000,000;
(iv) The Borrower and the Lender or lender not theretofore a Lender, shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower;
(v) no existing Lender shall be obligated in any way to increase its Term Loan
Commitment; and
(vi) the Administrative Agent shall consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) to such increase and the Borrower shall have complied with such other conditions
in connection with such increase as may be required by the Administrative Agent.
(c) Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of the Lender Addition and
Acknowledgement Agreement, from and after the effective date specified in a Lender Addition and
Acknowledgement Agreement, such existing Lender shall have a Term Loan Commitment as therein set
forth or such other Lender shall become a Lender with a Term Loan Commitment as therein set forth
and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Term Loan Commitment hereunder. Any
such new Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date any such
additional Term Loan is designated to be made thereunder.
(d) Upon its receipt of a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement together with any note
or notes, if requested, subject to such addition and assumption and the written consent to such
addition and assumption, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Lender Addition and
Acknowledgement Agreement has been completed and the other conditions described in this Section
2.06 have been satisfied:
(i) accept such Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement;
(ii) record the information contained therein in the Register; and
(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and deliver to the
Lenders a schedule reflecting the new Term Loan Commitments.
SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Term Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan on the Maturity Date.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Loan made by
such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from
time to time hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Term Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable
thereto, (ii)
22
the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Term Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In
such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note
payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its
registered assigns) and in the form of Exhibit C hereto or such other form approved by the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Term Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest
thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by
one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if
such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.08. Prepayment of Term Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice
in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.
(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy)
of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later
than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, and (ii) in the
case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, one Business Day
before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall
be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type
as provided in Section 2.05. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Term
Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to
the extent required by Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.09. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its
own account fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.10. Interest. (a) The portion of the Term Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate.
(b) The portion of the Term Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable
Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any
fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (after the expiration of
any applicable grace or cure period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise,
such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum
equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Term Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Term Loan as
provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the
case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of
this Section.
23
(d) Accrued interest on each Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date for such Term Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of
this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Term Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date
of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan
prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Term Loan shall
be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is
based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap
year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO
Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO
Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate
or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Term Loans included in such Borrowing for
such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing
shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an
ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request requests a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or any Term Loan made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan) or
to
24
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made by
such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time
the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that
such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(b) and is
revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for
the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such
loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender
to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Eurocurrency Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would
have been applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the
last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency
Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such
period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.
25
SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower
by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower
or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it
shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed
to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower
or any other Person.
26
SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a)
Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or
2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date
may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be
made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Agent,
except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the
Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by
it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt
thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment
accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall,
at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the
regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative
Agent to make such payment.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the
Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees
then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of
principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its Term Loans resulting in such
Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and
accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Term Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall
be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on its Term Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and
all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by
the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law,
that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such
27
payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars).
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(b), 2.15(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such
Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
for funding or booking its Term Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or
2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund its Term Loan
hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
(i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loan, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12
or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.17. Guaranties; Collateral. (a) To guarantee or secure, as the case may
be, the payment when due of the Secured Obligations, the Borrower shall cause each of the following
to execute and deliver Guaranties to the Administrative Agent: (i) all Domestic Subsidiaries of
the Borrower will Guarantee all Secured Obligations; and (ii) if it will not result in a material
tax consequence (as reasonably agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), all
Foreign Subsidiaries will Guarantee all Secured Obligations
to the extent they are legally permitted to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Securitization
Entities shall not be required to be Guarantors.
28
(b) If any Foreign Subsidiaries could not execute a Guaranty for all Secured Obligations
because that Guaranty would result in a material adverse tax consequence (as reasonably agreed upon
by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), then the Administrative Agent reserves the right (i)
to require that 65% (or such greater amount that may be pledged without a material adverse tax
consequence) of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiaries that are owned directly by the
Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary be pledged pursuant to Collateral Documents satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) to require that 65% (or such greater amount that may be pledged
without a material adverse tax consequence, as reasonably agreed upon by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) of the Equity Interests of any other such Foreign Subsidiary be pledged
pursuant to Collateral Documents satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent such pledge
is legally permitted and such pledge will not result in a material tax consequence (as reasonably
agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to cause certain
Subsidiaries to deliver the Guaranties required under Section 2.17(a) above or cause the pledge of
the Equity Interests of certain Foreign Subsidiaries required under Section 2.17(b) to the extent
that all such Subsidiaries that have not delivered the Guaranties required under Section 2.17(a)
above and all such Foreign Subsidiaries that are required to have their Equity Interests pledged
under Section 2.17(b) have not had 65% or more of their Equity Interests pledged under Section
2.17(b) would not constitute a Significant Subsidiary if considered as one Subsidiary. In making
such determination under this Section 2.17(c), the assets or income of any Subsidiary shall be
determined using the consolidated assets and income of such Subsidiary and its subsidiaries.
(d) The Borrower agrees that it will promptly notify the Administrative Agent if any
additional Guaranties or pledges of the Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries are required at
any time by the terms of Sections 2.17(a), (b) and (c) above (whether due to the formation or
acquisition of any Subsidiary, any increase in the assets or income of any Subsidiary or due to any
other reason that would require additional Guaranties or pledges of the Equity Interests of Foreign
Subsidiaries under the terms of Sections 2.17(a), (b) and (c) above). The Borrower agrees that it
will and will promptly cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver, promptly following the
date that such Subsidiary becomes subject to the requirements of this clause (d), such additional
Guaranties or Collateral Documents and other agreements, documents and instruments, each in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, sufficient to grant to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Guaranties and Liens
required by this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Borrower shall deliver, and cause
each such Subsidiary to deliver, to the Administrative Agent all such certificates, legal opinions,
share certificates and stock xxxxxx, xxxx searches, organizational and other charter documents,
resolutions and other documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may request in
connection therewith.

Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent, that the following
statements are true, correct and complete:
SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or, if applicable in a foreign jurisdiction,
enjoys the equivalent status under the laws of any jurisdiction of organization outside the United

29
SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan
Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, stockholder,
shareholder and other action. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan
Party party thereto and assuming due execution and delivery by all parties other than the Loan
Parties, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity,
regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect,
(b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any
Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement
or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give
rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such violation or default or Lien, could
not, in the case of subparts (c) or (d) reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has
heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income,
stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007, reported
on by BDO Xxxxxxx, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the Fiscal Quarter and
the portion of the Fiscal Year ended December 29, 2007, certified by its chief financial officer.
Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such

and subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the
statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole.
SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good
title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its
business, except where such failure to have good title or valid leasehold interests could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the assets of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Lien other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02.
(b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the
use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other
Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits
or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
(i) as to which
30
there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in
a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters and as set forth in the SEC Documents)
or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.
(b) Except as set forth in the SEC Documents and the Disclosed Matters and except with
respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
(i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any
permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to
any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any
Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.
(c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed
Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the
likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Except as set forth in the SEC
Documents and the Disclosed Matters, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance
with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its
property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Except as set forth in the Disclosed Matters, each of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely (after taking into account all available extensions) filed
or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or
caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary,
as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably
expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of
the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the Code relating to Plans and the regulations and
published interpretations thereunder and any similar applicable non-U.S. law, except for such
noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The excess
of the present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries
and the ERISA Affiliates (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual
valuation date applicable thereto for which a valuation is available, over the value of the assets
of such Plan could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the excess of
the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions
used to fund each such Plan) as of the last annual valuation dates
applicable thereto for which valuations are available, over the value of the assets of all such
underfunded Plans could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in compliance (i) with all applicable provisions of law and all
applicable regulations and
31
published interpretations thereunder with respect to any employee
pension benefit plan or other employee benefit plan governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other
than the United States and (ii) with the terms of any such plan, except, in each case, for such
noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements,
instruments and corporate or other restrictions known to the Borrower to which it or any of its
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information
Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information
furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading in any material respect; provided that, with respect to projected
financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.
SECTION 3.12 Use of Term Loans. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Term Loans
for refinancing existing indebtedness, working capital, its general corporate purposes (including
the repurchase of Equity Interests of the Borrower) and Acquisitions. Neither the Borrower nor any
of its Subsidiaries extends or maintains, in the ordinary course of business, credit for the
purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no
part of the proceeds of any Term Loan will be used in any manner that is in violation of any
applicable law or regulation (including without limitation Regulations U or X of the Board). After
applying the proceeds of each Term Loan, Margin Stock will not constitute more than 25% of the
value of the assets (either of the Borrower alone or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis) that are subject to any provisions of this Agreement that may cause the Term
Loans to be deemed secured, directly or indirectly, by Margin Stock.
SECTION 3.13 Labor Matters. There are no labor controversies pending or, to the best
of the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

in the notes thereto);
(b) within 45 days (or such earlier date as the Borrower may be required to file its
applicable quarterly report on Form 10-Q by the rules and regulations of the SEC) after the

consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and

certificate of the accounting firm that reported on such financial statements stating
whether they obtained knowledge during the course of their examination of such financial
statements of any Default (which certificate may be limited to the extent required by
accounting rules or guidelines);
(e) promptly after Xxxxx’x or S&P shall have announced a change in the rating

reasonably request.
SECTION 5.02. Notices of Material Events. The Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent prompt written notice of the following:
(a) the occurrence of any Default;
(b) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority against or affecting the Borrower or any Affiliate

not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.03.
SECTION 5.04. Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its

maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar
locations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, to maintain its bank
accounts and other deposits with such financial institutions so as to preclude the possibility that
Bank Hapoalim B.M. could exercise any rights of set-off or similar right with respect to such
accounts and other deposits and apply the proceeds thereof to the Israeli Acquisition Cash Secured
Loan, other than with respect to the permitted cash deposit
securing the Israeli Acquisition Cash Secured Loan equal to the principal balance of Israeli
Acquisition Cash Secured Loan.

reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. The Borrower will take all action required
by the Administrative Agent to permit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to rely on its
annual audit. Except as specified in the definitions of Fiscal Quarters and Fiscal Year, the
Borrower will not change its Fiscal Quarters or Fiscal Year.
SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans will be used only for
general corporate purposes (including the repurchase of Equity Interests of the Borrower) of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. No part of the proceeds of any
Term Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose or in any manner that
entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X.
SECTION 5.09 Additional Covenants. If at any time the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall enter into or be a party to any instrument or agreement, including all such
instruments or agreements in existence as of the date hereof and all such instruments or agreements
entered into after the date hereof, relating to or amending any provisions applicable to any of its
Indebtedness which in the aggregate, together with any related Indebtedness, exceeds $20,000,000,
which includes covenants or defaults not substantially provided for in this Agreement or more
favorable to the lender or lenders thereunder than those provided for in this Agreement, then the
Borrower shall promptly so advise the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Thereupon, if the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall request, upon notice to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement or an
additional agreement (as the Administrative Agent may request), providing for substantially the
same covenants and defaults as those provided for in such instrument or agreement to the extent
required and as may be selected by the Administrative Agent.

(the “Perrigo International Cash Secured Loan Guarantee”), neither the Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries is liable, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a Guarantee or otherwise,
thereunder, (iv) the direct obligation of Israeli Acquisition Co. for the Israeli
Acquisition Cash Secured Loan and the Perrigo International Cash Secured Loan Guarantee is
non-recourse to Israeli Acquisition Co. and Perrigo International (other than with respect
to such cash deposit described in clause (ii) above and to the limited extent described in
the Perrigo International Cash Secured Loan Documents delivered to the Lenders prior to the

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as
directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided
in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection
herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document (including without limitation the
creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral), or
(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
43
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative 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 its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article
and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
The Lender identified or designated in this Agreement as the Syndication Agent shall not have
any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than
those applicable to all Lenders as such.
ARTICLE IX

overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:
(i) if to the Borrower, to it at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000,

Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in
its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may
be limited to particular notices or communications.
(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other
communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.
SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Term Loan shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required
Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Term Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan, or any interest thereon, or any
fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the
scheduled date of expiration of any Term Loan Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby, (iv)
45
change Section 2.15(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter
the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby, (v) release any material Guarantor from its obligations under any
Guaranty or release all or substantially all of the Collateral, except to the extent permitted
hereunder (whether pursuant to any sale or other transfer of the relevant Guarantor or Collateral
permitted hereunder or as otherwise permitted hereunder) or with the consent of all the Lenders, or
(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided further that no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of
“each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained,
but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is
necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the
Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement,
provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which
is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such
date, to purchase for cash the Term Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender
pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this
Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such
date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall
pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all
interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the
Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments
due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.12 and 2.14, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to
the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section
2.13 had the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to
the replacement Lender.
SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i)
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent in
connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and
(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights
under this Section, or in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder, including all such
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Term Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective
46
obligations hereunder or the consummation of
the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use of
the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, or in any other way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Term Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent
in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in
accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed
to confer upon any Person, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section)
and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it)
with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and
(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender,
an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
47
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or
Term Loans, the amount of the Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
than $5,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan, $1,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the
Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; and
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease
to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14
and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph
(c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.
48
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender
or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.04(b), 2.15(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such
payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.
(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to
any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or
2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it
were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection
with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and
49
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Term Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Term Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and
so long as the Term Loan Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections
2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Term
Loans, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any
time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be
unmatured; provided that the rights under this Section shall not apply to the cash deposit securing
the Israeli Acquisition Cash Secured Loan. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have.
SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Michigan.
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Court of the State of Michigan and any court of the United
States District Court sitting in Michigan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Michigan
State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment
50
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or
its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A)
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.
SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required
by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit,
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g)
with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their business, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of
51
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.
SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan, together with all fees,
charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Term Loan under applicable law
(collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding
such Term Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Term Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in
respect of such Term Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Term Loans or
periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall
have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”)
hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the
name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Exhibit D
OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWER
[Effective Date]
April 23, 2008
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative
Agent, and the Lenders party to the
Term Loan Agreement referred to below
Agent, and the Lenders party to the
Term Loan Agreement referred to below
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Xxxxxxx Company, a Michigan corporation (the “Borrower”) and the
Domestic Subsidiaries that are Guarantors in connection with the Term Loan Agreement dated as of
the date hereof (the “Term Loan Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. This opinion is being rendered to you at the
request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of the Term Loan Agreement.
For purposes of this opinion, we have examined an executed copy of the Term Loan Agreement and
the Guaranty dated as of the date hereof executed by the Guarantors (together with the Term Loan
Agreement, the “Credit Documents”). We have also examined such other documents and instruments
concerning the Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiaries that are Guarantors (collectively, the
“Obligors”) and have made such further investigation as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in
connection with this opinion. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the
federal law of the United States and the law of the state of Michigan.
In forming the basis for our opinion as follows, we have assumed the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted
to us as copies. In rendering the opinions expressed in paragraph 2 below, we have further assumed
that the Credit Documents constitute the respective legal, valid and binding obligations of all
parties thereto other than the Obligors. We have relied, to the extent that we have deemed such
reliance proper, upon factual representations made by the Obligors in the Credit Documents with
respect to the accuracy of factual matters contained therein with respect to it and its
Subsidiaries, which we have not independently established. Except as otherwise indicated in this
opinion, capitalized terms are defined or used as set forth in the Term Loan Agreement. As used
herein, the phrase “to the best of our knowledge” means inquiry of an executive officer of the
Obligors and the actual knowledge of attorneys in our firm primarily responsible for the provision
of legal services to the Obligors.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof, that:
1. Each Obligor (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the state of Michigan, (b) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as now conducted, and (c) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in,
and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.
2. The Credit Documents (a) have been duly authorized by proper corporate action on the part
of each Obligor, (b) have been duly executed and delivered by each Obligor, and (c) constitute the
valid and binding obligations of each Obligor, enforceable against each Obligor in accordance with
their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (i) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to
or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) general principles of equity, and (iii)
limitations imposed by applicable law on the enforceability of purported waivers of rights and
defenses.
3. The execution, delivery, and performance by each Obligor of the Credit Documents to which
it is a party and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof do not and will not (a) violate
any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of each Obligor, (b) violate any
applicable law, rule, or regulation, (c) to the best of our knowledge, violate any order, writ,
injunction, or decree of any Michigan or federal Governmental Authority or arbitral award
applicable to each Obligor, or (d) to the best of our knowledge, result in a breach of, constitute
a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or require prepayment of
any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which each Obligor is a
party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien or other
encumbrance upon any property of each Obligor pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or
instrument.
4. To the best of our knowledge and except for the Disclosed Matters, there is no action,
suit, or proceeding pending against or overtly threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority in which an adverse decision
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into
question the validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents.
5. No authorization, consent, or approval of, or filing or registration with, any Michigan or
federal Governmental Authority is required for the execution, delivery, or performance by each
Obligor of the Credit Documents or for the validity or enforceability thereof against each Obligor.
6. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” as defined
in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a “holding” company”
as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.
7. Assuming that the Borrower will comply with the provisions of the Term Loan Agreement
relating to the use of proceeds, the making of Term Loans under the Term Loan Agreement will not
violate the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations U and X.
8. The provisions of the Collateral Documents are sufficient to create in favor of the
Administrative Agent a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of Perrigo
International, Inc. in the collateral described in the Collateral Documents to the extent a
security interest may be created in such items and types of collateral under Article 9 of the UCC
as in effect on the date hereof. Upon the due filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Secretary of State of the State of
Michigan, the Administrative Agent will have a perfected security interest in all right, title and
interest of Perrigo International, Inc. in those items and types of collateral described in the
Collateral Documents in which a security interest may be perfected by the due filing of a financing
statement in the State of Michigan under the UCC. Based on the assumption that the Administrative
Agent has taken delivery and is retaining possession in Michigan of the stock certificates
evidencing the Equity Interests described on Exhibit B (the “Pledged Stock”), together with
the properly
2
executed stock powers described on Exhibit C, and that the Administrative Agent has
taken delivery of such Pledged Stock and stock powers and its security interest in good faith
without notice of any adverse claim within the meaning of the UCC, there has been created under the
Security Agreement, and there has been granted to the Administrative Agent, a valid and perfected
security interest in the Pledged Stock, free of any adverse claims as defined in the UCC.
Any permitted assignee of any Lender may also rely on this opinion; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall be construed as requiring us to update or supplement this opinion.
Very truly yours,
3
