Credit Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate

of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Advances denominated in Dollars, and before 11:00
A.M. (London time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, in the case of a Revolving
Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in any Committed Currency,
make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the applicable
Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit
Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower
requesting the Revolving Credit Borrowing at the account specified in the wiring instructions in
the applicable Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or, if no account is so specified, at the
Agent’s address referred to in Section 9.02; provided, however, that, if such
borrowing is a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the Agent shall first make a
portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Line Advances made by
the Swing Line Banks and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Revolving Credit
Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swing
Line Banks and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Line Advances.
(b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 2:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing by any Borrower to each Swing Line
Bank and the Agent, of which the Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders, provided
that if such notice is received by the Agent after 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) but before 3:00
P.M. (New York City time), each Swing Line Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to fund
its ratable share of the requested Swing Line Borrowing as set forth in this Section. Each such
notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by
telephone, confirmed at once in writing, or telecopier, specifying therein the requested (i) date

applicable conditions of Article III would not be satisfied at the time of such Swing Line
Borrowing, make such Swing Line Bank’s ratable portion of such Swing Line Borrowing available
(based on the respective Swing Line Commitments of the Swing Line Banks) to the Agent at the
Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment
of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to
the Borrower requesting the Swing Line Borrowing at the account specified in the wiring
instructions in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing or, if no account is so specified, at
the Agent’s address referred to in Section 9.02. Upon written demand by any Swing Line Bank with a
Swing Line Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Agent, such Swing Line Bank shall sell and
assign to each such other Lender and each other Lender will purchase from such Swing Line Bank,
such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance, by making available for
the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent for the account of such Swing Line Bank,
by deposit to the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the
outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender. The
Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro
Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is
made by the Swing Line Bank which made such Advance, provided that notice of such demand is given
not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day
next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such
assignment by Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, such Swing
Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Swing Line Bank is the legal and
beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it and there are no adverse claims thereto, but
makes no other representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, this Agreement, the
Notes or any
Jabil Credit Agreement
14
Borrower. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of
such Swing Line Advance available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on
demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such Lender is
required to have made such amount available to the Agent until the date such amount is paid to the
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the
account of such Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal
shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this
Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by such Swing Line
Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrowers may
not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of
such Revolving Credit Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or if the
obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to
Section 2.08 or 2.12 and (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more
than 10 separate Borrowings.
(d) Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower requesting the Borrowing. In the case of any Revolving
Credit Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised
of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or
expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date
specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including
loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as
part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made
on such date.
(e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or a Swing Line Bank, as the
case may be, prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender or Swing Line Bank, as the case
may be, will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s or Swing Line Bank’s ratable portion of
such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, has
made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.02, as applicable, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower requesting the Borrowing on such date a corresponding
amount. If and to the extent that such Lender or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, shall not
have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender or Swing Line Bank, as the
case may be, and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of
such Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances
comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount
and (ii) in the case of such Lender or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, provided that the Agent
has given notice to the applicable Borrower of such obligation as soon as practicable but in any
event not later than the Business Day following such funding by the Agent, (A) the Federal Funds
Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent
in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies. If such
Lender or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount,
such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s or Swing Line Bank’s Advance as part of such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(f) The failure of any Lender or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, to make the Advance to
be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender or Swing Line Bank, as
the case may be, of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such
Borrowing, but no Lender or Swing Line Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender or Swing Line Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender or Swing Line Bank on
the date of any Borrowing.
SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit.

proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable Issuing
Bank may agree), by any Borrower to any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Agent,
prompt notice thereof. Each such notice by a Borrower of Issuance of a Letter of Credit

Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of
Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that
any such form shall have only explicit documentary conditions to draw and shall not include
discretionary conditions), such Issuing Bank will, if in its reasonable discretion it elects to do
so, and unless any Lender gives prior notice to such Issuing Bank or the Agent that the applicable
conditions of Article III would not be satisfied at the time of such Issuance, upon fulfillment of
the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.03, make such Letter of Credit available to the
applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with such
Borrower in connection with such Issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of
any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement
shall govern.
(b) Participations. By the Issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing or decreasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the
part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender,
and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit. Each
Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the
account of such Issuing Bank, in same day funds, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each drawing made
under a Letter of Credit funded by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower
on the date made, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any
reason, which amount will be advanced, and deemed to be a Revolving Credit Advance to such Borrower
hereunder, regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.03. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each
Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the
Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is
amended pursuant to a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18, an assignment in accordance
with Section 9.07 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under
any Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date made shall
constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by any such Issuing Bank of a Revolving
Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft, without regard to
whether the making of such an Advance would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused Revolving Credit
Commitment. Each Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of each drawing under any Letter of Credit
issued by it to the applicable Borrower and the Agent. Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank,
with a copy of such demand to the Agent and the applicable Borrower, each Lender shall pay to the
Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section
2.03(b). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of
the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent shall
transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Share of an
outstanding Revolving Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by
such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M.
(New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such
demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If and to the extent that any Lender
shall not have so made the amount of such Revolving Credit Advance available to the Agent, such
Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to
the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as
applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing
Bank on any
Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Revolving Credit
Advance made by
Jabil Credit Agreement
16
such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be
reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(d) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the Agent (with
a copy to the Company) on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing
Issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding
month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (B) to the Agent (with a copy
to the Company) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth
the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(e) Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be
made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
SECTION 2.04. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the
Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender and from the
effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant
to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date at a rate
per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31,
2010, and on the later of the Termination Date and the date all Advances are paid in full;
provided that no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any facility fee in respect
of its Revolving Credit Commitment for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(and the Company shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to
have been paid to that Defaulting Lender), other than a facility fee, as described above, on the
aggregate principal amount of Advances funded by such Defaulting Lender outstanding from time to
time.
(b) Letter of Credit Fees. (i) Each Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account
of each Lender a commission on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the average daily aggregate Available
Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and outstanding from time
to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Advances in effect
from time to time during such calendar quarter, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and
on the Termination Date; provided, that no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive
any commission in respect of Letters of Credit for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay such commission to that
Defaulting Lender but shall pay such commission as set forth in Section 2.19); provided,
further, that the Applicable Margin shall be 2% above the Applicable Margin in effect upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default if such Borrower is required to
pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b).
(ii) Each Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee
and such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in
connection with the Issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as such Borrower and
such Issuing Bank shall agree.
(c) Agent’s Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as
may from time to time be agreed between the Company and the Agent.
SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional Ratable
Termination or Reduction. The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’
notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Unused
Revolving Credit Commitments, the unused Swing Line Commitments or the Unissued Letter of Credit
Commitments, provided that each partial reduction of a Facility (i) shall be in the
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii)
shall be made ratably among the Lenders (or Swing Line Banks, as the case may be) in accordance
with their Commitments.
(b) Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Company may terminate the Unused Revolving
Credit Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to any
reallocation of
participations in Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.19) upon prior notice of not less
than one Business Day to
Jabil Credit Agreement
17
the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such
event the provisions of Section 2.19(e) shall apply to all amounts thereafter paid by any Borrower
for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal,
interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit commissions or other amounts), provided that (i)
no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to
be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may
have against such Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Advances and Letter of Credit Drawings. (a)
Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account
of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Advances made to it and then outstanding.
(b) Letter of Credit Drawings. The obligations of each Borrower under any Letter of
Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit issued for
the account of such Borrower shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other
agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following
circumstances (it being understood that any such payment by such Borrower is without prejudice to,
and does not constitute a waiver of, any rights such Borrower might have or might acquire as a
result of the payment by any Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by such Borrower
thereof, including as provided in Section 9.15):
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Note, any Letter of
Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto
(all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);
(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the obligations of such Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related
Documents;
(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that such Borrower
may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any
Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing
Bank, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the
obligations of such Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or
(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Borrower or a guarantor.
The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care
in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to
be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole
discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept
and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms
of such Letter of Credit.
Jabil Credit Agreement

(c) Swing Line Advances. Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable
account of the Swing Line Banks and each other Lender which has made a Swing Line Advance the
outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made to it by each of them on the earlier
of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which maturity
shall be no later than ten Business Days after the requested date of such Borrowing) and the
Termination Date.
SECTION 2.07. Interest on Advances. (a) Scheduled Interest. Each Borrower
shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it and owing to each
Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the
following rates per annum:
(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance
is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate
in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to
time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and
December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or
paid in full.
(ii) Eurocurrency Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit
Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each
Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate
for such Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advance plus (y) the Applicable
Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest
Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day
that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such
Interest Period and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in
full.
(iii) Swing Line Advances. A rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of
(w) the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time plus (x) 0.50% per annum
plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Advances in effect from time to
time, payable in arrears the date such Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full.
(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default under Section 6.01(a), the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall,
require the Borrowers to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal
amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause
(a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per
annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to
the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable
hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall
be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at
a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on
Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above; provided, however, that
following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and
be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent.
SECTION 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank agrees, if
requested by the Agent, to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining
each Eurocurrency Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely
information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall
determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining
Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Lenders of the
applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii), and
the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate
under Section 2.07(a)(ii).
(b) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, the Lenders owed at least 51% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof notify the Agent that (i) they are unable to obtain matching
deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second
Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective
Eurocurrency Rate Advances as a part of such Borrowing
during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such
Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining
their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so
notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower of such Eurocurrency Rate Advances
will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such Eurocurrency Rate
Advances are denominated in Dollars, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such
Jabil Credit Agreement
19
Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed
Currency, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) exchange such Advances into an Equivalent amount
of Dollars and Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders
to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist.
(c) If any Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of
“Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders
and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate
Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be
exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances.
(d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances
comprising any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise,
to less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum, such Advances shall automatically (i) if such
Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if
such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be exchanged for an
Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances.
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each
Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, be Converted into Base
Rate Advances and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency,
be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii)
the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances
shall be suspended.
(f) If Reuters LIBOR01 Page is unavailable and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely
information to the Agent for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances
after the Agent has requested such information,
(i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the
interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances,
(ii) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars,
Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in
any Committed Currency, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be automatically exchanged
for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such
Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and
(iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert
Advances comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.09. Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower of any Advance made as a
part of a Revolving Credit Borrowing may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not
later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the
proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all or any
portion of the Advances made as a part of a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in Dollars of
one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type;
provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances
shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any
Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less
than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in
more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances
comprising part of the same
Jabil Credit Agreement
20
Borrowing shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments. Each
such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of
such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion
is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such
Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such
notice.
SECTION 2.10. Prepayments of Advances. (a) Optional. Each Borrower may,
upon notice at least two Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of
Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such
prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate
principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or
ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal
amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment of Revolving
Credit Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Revolving Credit
Borrowing Minimum or a Revolving Credit Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof, (ii) each partial
prepayment of Swing Line Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than
$1,000,000 and (iii) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, such
Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section
9.04(c).
(b) Mandatory. (i) If, on any date, the Agent notifies the Company that, on any
interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Advances
plus all Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars plus the aggregate Available Amount of
all Letters of Credit then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third
Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all
Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding exceeds 103% of the
aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments on such date, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable
and in any event within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding
principal amount of any Advances owing by the Borrowers in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce
such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Lenders on such date.
(ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any
interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case
of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the applicable Borrower shall be obligated
to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c).
(iii) The Agent shall calculate on the date of each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing,
Notice of Swing Line Borrowing or Notice of Issuance and on each interest payment date the sum of
(A) the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Advances plus all Revolving Credit Advances
denominated in Dollars plus the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then
outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such
interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances
denominated in Committed Currencies and shall give prompt notice (and in any event no later than
thirty days) of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Company and the Lenders.
SECTION 2.11. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction or phase
in of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, guideline, decision, directive,
treaty or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or
other governmental authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or
similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall
be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurocurrency Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in
Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting
from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis
of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign
jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable
Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Company shall from time to time,
upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the
account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased
cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to
use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions)
to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the
Jabil Credit Agreement
21
amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline
or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased
by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in
Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the Issuance or maintenance of or
participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Company shall pay to the Agent for the
account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the
extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the
existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit
hereunder or to the Issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder,
are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted
or adopted.
SECTION 2.12. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other
governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending
Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any
Committed Currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed
Currency hereunder, (a) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand (i) if
such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and
(ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged into
an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (b) the obligation of
the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into
Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the
Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.13. Payments and Computations. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment
hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to,
Advances denominated in a Committed Currency), irrespective of any right of counterclaim or
set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent
at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. Each Borrower shall make each payment
hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances
denominated in a Committed Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not
later than 11:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due in
such Committed Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in
same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to
the payment of principal or interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04(b), 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount
payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case
to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a
Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18 and upon the Agent’s
receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in
the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed
thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording
of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after
the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee
thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate
adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on
the Eurocurrency
Jabil Credit Agreement
22
Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by
the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Committed
Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period
for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an
interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or
commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would
cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next
following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in
full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such
date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such
Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the
Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender
repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated
in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of
Advances denominated in Committed Currencies.
(e) To the extent that the Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by
any Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the
currency or currencies required to enable the Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13, the Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange
such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Currency or
from a Committed Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the
Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13; provided
that each Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Agent shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by such Borrower or such Lender as a result of
any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.13(e) or as a result
of the failure of the Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that
the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and hold the Agent and each Lender
harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender for any
conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in
accordance with this Section 2.13(e), absent gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
the Agent or such Lender, respectively.
SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by each Borrower to or for the
account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be
delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13 or the applicable provisions of
such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall
net income (including branch profits taxes), and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net
income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may
be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes
imposed on its overall net income (including branch profits taxes, and franchise taxes imposed on
it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or
any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or any other documents
to be delivered hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
Jabil Credit Agreement
23
(b) In addition, the Company shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or
any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made
hereunder or under the Notes any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the
Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).
(c) Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless
against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind
imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed on or
paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto other than such liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) attributable to the acts of or failure to act by such
Lender. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent
(as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Upon request from a Borrower, the Lender or
Agent (as the case may be) shall provide such Borrower with such information and documentation as
to the calculation of the indemnification payment as such Borrower may reasonably request.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, each Borrower shall furnish to
the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written
proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the case of any payment
hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder by or on behalf of
such Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of such
Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Borrower determines that no Taxes
are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish,
to the Agent, at such address, evidence of substantial authority acceptable to the Agent stating
that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e),
the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings
specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e) (i) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States
(a “non-U.S. Lender”), on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assumption Agreement or the
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender,
and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Company (but only so
long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the
Company with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any
successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is
exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to
this Agreement or the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first
becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess
of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such
Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding
tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such
form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was
entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect
to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to
withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes)
United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.
If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information,
other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date
hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to
be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Company and shall not be obligated to
include in such form or document such confidential information.
(ii) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to United States
federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Company and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as
may be necessary for the Company or the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to
Jabil Credit Agreement
24
determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. A Lender shall not be entitled to
payment or indemnification under Section 2.14(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the
United States by reason of FATCA.
(f) For any period with respect to which a non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the
Company with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.14(e)
(other than to the extent such failure is due to a change in law, or in the
interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form,
certificate or other document originally was required to be provided), such non-U.S. Lender shall
not be entitled to payment or indemnification under Section 2.14(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes
imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that
should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or
other document required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably
request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.
(g) In addition, in the case of any Borrower that is organized in a jurisdiction other
that the United States, if a Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is organized, or any treaty to which
such jurisdiction is a party with respect to payments under this Agreement or under the Notes, such
Lender shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) and, if required, to any applicable
governmental authority, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested in writing by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to
be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. To the extent that such
Lender is legally entitled to provide such a form and fails to satisfy the requirements of the
preceding sentence, such Lender shall not be entitled to payment or indemnification under Section
2.14(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by such jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower
is organized by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender
become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document
required hereunder, the Company and such Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall
reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.
(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14
agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a
change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.
(i) If an additional payment is made under subsection (a) or (c) above for the account of
any Lender and such Lender, in its sole discretion (exercising good faith), determines that it has
finally and irrevocably received or been granted a credit against or release or remission for, or
repayment of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the
deduction or withholding giving rise to such payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it
determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit,
relief, remission or repayment, pay to the applicable Borrower such amount as the Lender shall, in
its sole discretion (exercising good faith), have determined to be attributable to such deduction
or withholding and which will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it
would have been in if such Borrower had not been required to make such deduction or withholding.
Such Lender shall provide to the applicable Borrower reasonable information regarding any
creditable amounts it expects to receive, and the expected time for receiving such credit or
refund. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax
affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender to claim any tax credit or to
disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or
require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other
credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on
account of the Advances owing to it (other than (x) as payment of an Advance made by an Issuing
Bank pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.03(c), (y) as a payment of a Swing Line Advance
made by a Swing Line Bank that has not been participated to the other Lenders pursuant to Section
2.02(b) or (z) pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14, 2.19 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its pro rata share of
payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each
Jabil Credit Agreement
25
Lender shall be rescinded and such
Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of
such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so
recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of
such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.16. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of
Advances. Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of
such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such
Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing
to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender
a Note in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Lender in a
principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender.
(b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a
control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall
be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances
comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by
it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from
each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from
such Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b)
above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the
case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error;
provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry,
or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not
limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.17. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and
each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for general corporate purposes
(including acquisitions) of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
SECTION 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) The
Company may, at any time but in any event not more than once in any calendar year prior to the
Termination Date, by notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments be increased by an amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof (each a
“Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the
scheduled Termination Date (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the
Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitments at any time exceed $1,300,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request
by the Company for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date the applicable conditions
set forth in Article III shall be satisfied.
(b) The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Company for a
Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested
Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to
participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective
Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to
participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in
its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the
amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. If the Lenders notify
the Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Revolving Credit
Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase,
the requested Commitment
Jabil Credit Agreement
26
Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate
therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Company and the Agent.
(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Company as to the
amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment
Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested
Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase,
then the Company may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion
of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the
applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment
of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or more.
(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in
a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an
“Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date
and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment
Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant
to the last sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided,
however, that the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following,
each dated such date:
(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or
the Executive Committee of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and the
corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Company
(which may be in-house counsel), in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto;
(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Company and the Agent (each an “Assumption
Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Company; and
(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its
Revolving Credit Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Company and the Agent.
On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without
limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Company, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by
telecopier, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and
shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and
each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before
2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, in the case of
such Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving
Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a
percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the
relevant Commitment Increase) and, in the case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the
excess of (i) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then
outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase)
over (ii) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then
outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment (without giving effect to the
relevant Commitment Increase) as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments
(without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase). After the Agent’s receipt of such
funds from each such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Agent will promptly
thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate
amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances owing to each Lender after giving effect to
such distribution equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then
outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).
Section 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. (a) If any Letters of Credit or Swing Line
Advances are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and the Commitments have
not been terminated in accordance with Section 6.01, then:
Jabil Credit Agreement
27
(i) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of the
Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit and the principal amount of outstanding
Swing Line Advances
shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders
(“non-Defaulting Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares
(disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent
that the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances made by such
non-Defaulting Lenders (in their capacity as Lenders) and outstanding at such time, plus (B)
such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares (before giving effect to the reallocation
contemplated herein) of the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and of
outstanding Swing Line Advances, plus (C) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances
made by each Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c) that have not been ratably funded by
such non-Defaulting Lenders and outstanding at such time, plus (D) such Defaulting Lender’s
Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit and of outstanding Swing
Line Advances, does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit
Commitments.
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within two Business Days following
notice by any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s
Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit or of the principal amount
of Swing Line Advances, as the case may be (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (i) above), by paying cash collateral in such amount to such Issuing Bank
or such Swing Line Bank; provided that, so long as no Default shall be continuing,
such cash collateral shall be released promptly upon the earliest of (A) the reallocation of
the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit or principal amount of Swing Line
Advances, as applicable, among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with clause (i) above,
(B) the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or (C) such
Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Bank’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash
collateral (in which case, the amount equal to such excess cash collateral shall be
released);
(iii) if the Ratable Shares of Letters of Credit of the non-Defaulting Lenders are
reallocated or cash collateralized pursuant to this Section 2.19(a), then the fees payable
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares of the Letters of Credit that are not cash
collateralized; or
(iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit is neither cash
collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(a), then, without prejudice to any
rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees
payable under Section 2.04(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of
Letters of Credit shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting
Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.
(b) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to
issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, and no Swing Line Bank shall be required to make any
Swing Line Advances, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the
Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided
by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.19(a), and participating interests in any such newly
issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Advances shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall
not participate therein).
(c) No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.19, performance by any Borrower of its obligations
shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.19. The
rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to any
other rights and remedies which any Borrower, the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have
against such Defaulting Lender.
(d) If each Borrower, the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank agree in
writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be
a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective
date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include
arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable,
purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take
Jabil Credit Agreement
28
such other actions as
the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded
participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance
with their Ratable
Share (without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a
Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting
Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed
by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a
Defaulting Lender.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment of
principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit commissions or other amounts received by the
Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether voluntary or
mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times
as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, if so
determined by the Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank or any Swing Line Bank, to be held as cash
collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation
in any Letter of Credit or any Swing Line Advance; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as
no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent;
fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account
and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this
Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Issuing Bank
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to
any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such
Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by
a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at
a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article III were satisfied or waived, such
payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata
basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender and provided
further that any amounts held as cash collateral for funding obligations of a Defaulting Lender
shall be returned to such Defaulting Lender upon the termination of this Agreement and the
satisfaction of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be deemed paid to
and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
ARTICLE III
CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS AND LENDING
SECTION 3.01. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Section 2.01. Section 2.01 of
this Agreement shall become effective on and as of the first date (the “Effective Date”) on
which the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:
(a) Except as publicly disclosed prior to November 8, 2010, there shall have
occurred no Material Adverse Change since August 31, 2010.
(b) There shall exist no action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding
affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending or threatened before any court,
governmental agency or arbitrator that (i) could be reasonably likely to have a Material

Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the
request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the
Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith
due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be
forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; provided, however, that in
the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company or any
other Borrower under the any Bankruptcy Law, (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Advances
(other than Advances to be made by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and Advances by an Issuing
Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit
shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts

SECTION 6.02. Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default. If any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may with the consent, or shall at
the request, of the Required Lenders, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions

demand the Borrowers will, (a) pay to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in same day funds at the
Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an amount
equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding or (b) make such
other arrangements in respect of the outstanding Letters of Credit as shall be acceptable to the
Required Lenders and not more disadvantageous to the Borrowers than clause (a); provided,
however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect
to any Borrower under any Bankruptcy Law, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit shall be immediately due and payable to the Agent for the account of
the Lenders without notice to or demand upon the Borrowers, which
are expressly waived by each Borrower, to be held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account. If at any
time an Event of Default is continuing the Agent determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash
Deposit Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the
Lenders or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all
Letters of Credit, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Agent, pay
Jabil Credit Agreement
40
to the Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an
amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of
funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account that the Agent determines to be free and
clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit, to the extent funds
are on deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the
Issuing Banks to the extent permitted by applicable law. After all such Letters of Credit shall
have expired or been fully drawn upon and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and
under the Notes shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such L/C Cash Deposit Account
shall be returned to the Borrowers.
ARTICLE VII
GUARANTY
SECTION 7.01. Unconditional Guaranty. The Company hereby absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any
date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all obligations of each
other Borrower now or hereafter existing under or in respect of this Agreement and the Notes
(including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or
renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of
action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”),
and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s liability shall extend to all
amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by such Borrower to
the Agent or any Lender under or in respect of this Agreement and the Notes but for the fact that
they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceeding involving such Borrower.
SECTION 7.02. Guaranty Absolute. (a) The Company guarantees that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes,
regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting
any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations
of the Company under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any other obligations of any other Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement and the Notes,
and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company to enforce this
Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Borrower or whether any
Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Company under this Guaranty
shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Company hereby
irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or
all of the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Note or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Borrower under or in
respect of this Agreement and the Notes, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent
to departure from this Agreement or any Note, including, without limitation, any increase in
the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking,
release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of any collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for
all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Borrower under this
Agreement and the Notes or any other assets of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of
any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
Jabil Credit Agreement
41
(f) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to the Company any information
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance,
properties or prospects of any Borrower now or hereafter known to the Agent or such Lender
(the Company waiving any duty on the part of the Agent and the Lenders to disclose such
information);
(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty or any other
guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Company or other
guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations)
or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agent or any Lender that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any other
guarantor or surety.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the
Agent or any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any
Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 7.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that
the Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto
or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or any other Person or any collateral.
(b) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all
Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
(c) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising
by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Agent or any
Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the
Company or other rights of the Company to proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor
or any other Person or any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or
counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of the Company hereunder.
(d) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of
the Agent or any Lender to disclose to the Company any matter, fact or thing relating to the
business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or
prospects of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Agent or
such Lender.
(e) The Company acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the Notes and
that the waivers set forth in Section 7.02 and this Section 7.03 are knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 7.04. Subrogation. The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any Borrower or any
other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the
Company’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any
right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any other
insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or
under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive
from any Borrower or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property
or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or
right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been
terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid
to the Company in violation of the immediately
preceding sentence at any time prior to
Jabil Credit Agreement
42
the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) the Termination Date
and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, such amount shall be
received and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated from
other property and funds of the Company and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in
the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and
applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, or to be held
as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty
thereafter arising. If (i) the Company shall make payment to the Agent or any Lender of all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Termination Date shall
have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Agent and
the Lenders will, at the Company’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Company
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Company of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from such payment made by the Company pursuant to this Guaranty.
SECTION 7.05. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full
in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the

(b) be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Agent and the Lenders and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without
limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Agent or any
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing
to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon
become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Agent or such Lender herein
or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 9.07.
ARTICLE VIII
THE AGENT
SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints
Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and authorizes the Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof
or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and none of the
Borrowers shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
SECTION 8.02. Agent Individually. (a) The Person serving as the 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 Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving
as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders.
(b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Agent, acting in its individual
capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide
range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities
trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are
collectively referred to in this Section 8.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the
Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Borrowers or their respective Affiliates.
Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial
products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others
(including the Borrowers and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on
behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in a Borrower or its Affiliates), including
trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial
products of one or more of the Borrowers or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees
that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain
information concerning the Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information concerning the
ability of the Borrowers to perform their
Jabil Credit Agreement
43
respective obligations hereunder) which information may
not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the
Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on
behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any
information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits
obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Agent shall deliver or otherwise make
available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be
transmitted by the Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s
Group or their respective customers (including the Borrowers and their Affiliates) either now have
or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one
or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder). Each Lender agrees that
no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of
the Person serving as Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the
Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any
Lender. None of (i) this Agreement, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information
(including Company Information) concerning the Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information
concerning the ability of the Borrowers to perform their respective obligations hereunder) nor
(iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including
without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Agent or any member of the Agent’s
Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from
acting on behalf of customers (including the Borrowers or their Affiliates) or for its own account.
SECTION 8.03. Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Agent’s duties
hereunder are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein), provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability
or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.
(b) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent
or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 or 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Company or
any Lender shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Default and such event or events.
(c) Neither the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information
made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or the Information Memorandum, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in
connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information
contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or
purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or
elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry
out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and
each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required
to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent
or any of its Related Parties.
SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Agent. The 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 writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to
Jabil Credit Agreement
44
be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms
must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions
contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making
of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such
Lender shall not have made available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.
The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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.
SECTION 8.05. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the
Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all
provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent”
hereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
SECTION 8.06. Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $500,000,000 and with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with
an office in New York, New York (or such other jurisdiction as is acceptable to the Company and the
Required Lenders). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent
may on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of the Company (so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a
successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation
on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the
retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the
Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and
the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation. Upon the resignation effective date
established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and
accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and
(i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder and
(ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder
(if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the
Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring 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 the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
(b) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as Agent shall, unless such
Person shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and

SECTION 8.07. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. (a) Each Lender confirms to
the Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses
(individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agent, any other Lender or any of
their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal,
regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement,
(y) making Advances and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking
actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that
entering into this Agreement and making Advances and other extensions of credit hereunder is

(b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent
appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement, (ii)
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their
respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with,
and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and
information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely
responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in
connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this
Agreement based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
which may include, in each case:
(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Company and each other
Borrower;
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this
Agreement and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
anticipation of, under or in connection herewith;

making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit and the form and substance of
all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such
condition;
(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any
other information delivered by the Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective
Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated

anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.
SECTION 8.08. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company) from and against such Lender’s pro rata share
(determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as such) in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent (in its
capacity as such) under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”),
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting
from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its pro rata Share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent (in its capacity
as such) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or
legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. In the case of any investigation,
litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05(a) applies whether
any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third
party. For purposes of this
Section 8.08(a), the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of any amount shall be determined, at
any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at
such time and owing to the respective Lenders, (ii) their respective pro rata shares of the
aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (iii) their
respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments at such time.

reimbursed by the Company) from and against such Lender’s Ratable Share of any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against any such Issuing Bank (in its capacity as such) in any way relating to or arising out of
the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank (in its capacity as such)
hereunder or in connection herewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be

expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the
Company under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for
such costs and expenses by the Company.
(c) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank promptly upon demand
for its Ratable Share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided
herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent or any
Issuing Bank for its Ratable Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank for such other Lender’s
applicable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any
Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.08 shall
survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and
under the Notes. Each of the Agent and each Issuing Bank agrees to return to the Lenders their

SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent

Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the
proceeds of the Advances or Letters of Credit or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous
Materials on any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action
relating in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except, with respect to any
Indemnified Party, to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is determined in a
final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation,
litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought
by the Company, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other
Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Company also agrees not to assert any claim
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of
their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents,
on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any
of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the

Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08, 2.10 or
2.12, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason,
or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07
as a result of a demand by the Company pursuant to Section 9.07(a) or (ii) as a result of a payment
or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08, 2.10 or 2.12, such Borrower shall, upon demand by such
Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender
any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it
may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any
loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation
or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.
If the amount of the Committed Currency purchased by any Lender in the case of a Conversion or
exchange of Advances in the case of Section 2.08 or 2.12 exceeds the sum required to satisfy such
Lender’s liability in respect of such Advances, such Lender agrees to remit to the applicable
Borrower such excess.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04 shall survive
the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the
Notes.
SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of

payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, 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 indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for
the credit or the account of the Company or any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of
the Company or any Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by
such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such
Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Company or the applicable Borrower after any such set-off and application,
Jabil Credit Agreement
49
provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its
Affiliates may have.
SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than
Section 2.01, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Company and the Agent and when the
Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Agent and each Lender
and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Company nor any other Borrower
shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
written consent of all of the Lenders.
SECTION 9.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may with the consent

Swing Line Commitment, its Unissued Letter of Credit Commitment, the Advances owing to it, its
participations in Letters of Credit and the Note or Notes held by it); provided,
however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying,

assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of
all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of (x) the Revolving
Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment
(determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall
be $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) the Swing Line
Commitment or Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each
such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment) shall be $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, in each
case, unless the Company and the Agent otherwise agree, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an
Eligible Assignee; and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together
with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by
the parties to each such assignment, provided, however, that in the case of each
assignment made as a result of a demand by the Company, such recordation fee shall be payable by
the Company except that no such recordation fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment made
at the request of the Company to an Eligible Assignee that is an existing Lender and
provided further that no such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
with respect to the interest assigned and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender hereunder, in addition to any rights and obligations theretofore held by it as a Lender,
and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other
than its rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an
event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations (other than its
obligations under Section 8.08 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior
to such assignment) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder
and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in
connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security
interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no

the Company or any other Borrower or the performance or observance by the Company or any other
Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that, to the extent it has so requested, it
has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to
in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee
will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other

assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the

discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement
are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to
such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in
substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the
Company.
(d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each
Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Company and the other Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

Company or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances
owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the
Borrowers hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain
the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Company , the other

participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Company or any
other Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce
the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation.
(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed
assignee or participant, any information relating to the Company furnished to such Lender by or on
behalf of the Company; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any
Company Information relating to the Company received by it from such Lender in accordance with
Section 9.08 hereof.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time create 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 in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System 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 party hereto interest.
(h) Resignation as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank
assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Advances pursuant to Section 9.07(a),
such Person may, (i) upon 30 days’
Jabil Credit Agreement
51
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank
and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Bank. In the event of any
such resignation as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from
among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of such Person as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be. If such Person
resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an
Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date
of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings with respect
thereto. If such Person resigns as a Swing Line Bank, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing
Line Bank provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Advances made by it and outstanding as
of the effective date of such resignation. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and/or
Swing Line Bank, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be,
and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory
to such Person to effectively assume the obligations of such Person with respect to such Letters of
Credit.
SECTION 9.08. Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender may disclose to any
Person any Company Information (as defined below), except that each of the Agent and each of the
Lenders may disclose Company Information (a) to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers,
administrators, trustees, partners, employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Company Information and such person shall have agreed to keep such Company
Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process or
requested by any self-regulatory authority, provided that, to the extent practicable, the
Company is given prompt written notice of such requirement or request prior to such disclosure and
assistance in obtaining an order protecting such information from public disclosure, (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 no less restrictive than those of this Section 9.08,
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, (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its
managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and
other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be
made by reference to the Company and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii)
any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) to the extent
such Company Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential
basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.08 by the Agent or such Lender, or (B)
is or becomes available to the Agent or such Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other
than the Company and not, to the knowledge of the Agent or such Lender, in breach of such third
party’s obligations of confidentiality and (h) with the consent of the Company.
For purposes of this Section, “Company Information” means all confidential,
proprietary or non-public information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any
such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Company 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 Company Information as such Person would accord to its
own confidential information.
SECTION 9.09. Designated Subsidiaries. (a) Designation. The Company may at
any time, and from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice, notify the Agent that
the Company intends to designate a Subsidiary as a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this
Agreement. On or after the date that is 15 Business Days after such notice, upon delivery to the
Agent and each Lender of a Designation Letter duly executed by the Company and the respective
Subsidiary and substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, such Subsidiary shall thereupon
become a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the
rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
Company’s notice of such pending designation by the Company and the identity of the respective
Subsidiary. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 9.09(a), if the
designation of such Designated Subsidiary obligates the Agent or any Lender to comply with “know
your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances
Jabil Credit Agreement
52
where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the
Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the
Agent or any Lender in order for the Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has
complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all
applicable laws and regulations.
If the Company shall designate as a Designated Subsidiary hereunder any Subsidiary not
organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to
the Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as
the Lender in respect of such Designated Subsidiary (and such Lender shall, to the extent of
Advances made to and participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Designated
Subsidiary, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Advances and
participations to such Affiliate in compliance with the provisions of Section 9.07).
As soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Company or the Agent of the Company’s
intent to designate a Subsidiary as a Designated Borrower, and in any event no later than five
Business Days after the delivery of such notice, for a Designated Subsidiary that is organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision
thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any
business whatsoever with such Designated Subsidiary directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender
as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify
the Company and the Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Company shall,
effective on or before the date that such Designated Subsidiary shall have the right to borrow
hereunder, either (A) notify the Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such
Protesting Lender shall be terminated; provided that such Protesting Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Credit Advances
and/or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations, 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 Company or the relevant Designated Subsidiary (in
the case of all other amounts) or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a
“Designated Subsidiary” hereunder.
(b) Termination. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Designated Subsidiary then,
so long as at the time no Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing, Notice of Swing Line Borrowing or
Notice of Issuance in respect of such Designated Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s
status as a “Designated Subsidiary” shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Agent to
the Lenders (which notice the Agent shall give promptly, and only upon its receipt of a request
therefor from the Company). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make
any Advance hereunder to such Designated Subsidiary.
SECTION 9.10. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 9.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court
it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with
such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum
due hereunder in a Committed Currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that
they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such Committed Currency with Dollars at
Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given.
(c) The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the
“Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in any other
Jabil Credit Agreement
53
currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such
other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the
applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as
the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be)
against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such
sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such
Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.
SECTION 9.13. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New
York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the Notes, 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 any such New York State court or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Designated Subsidiary hereby agrees that service of
process in any such action or proceeding brought in any such New York State court or in such
federal court may be made upon the Company and each Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably
appoints the Company its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and agrees that the
failure of the Company to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the
validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.
The Company and each Designated Subsidiary hereby further irrevocably consent to the service of
process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its address specified pursuant to
Section 9.02. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment 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 any
party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of any
judgment relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction. To the extent
that each Designated Subsidiary has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any
court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property,
each Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations
under this Agreement.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that 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 or the
Notes in any New York State or federal court. 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.
SECTION 9.14. Substitution of Currency. If a change in any Committed Currency occurs
pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national
authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will
be deemed amended to the extent determined by the Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with
the
Company) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the
Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in
such Committed Currency had occurred.
SECTION 9.15. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrowers assume all risks of
the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its
use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall
be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency
or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (c) any other
circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except
that the applicable Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank
shall be liable to such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages
suffered by such Borrower that such Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under
a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility
Jabil Credit Agreement
54
for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary;
provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to excuse such Issuing Bank if it acts with
gross negligence or willful misconduct in accepting such documents.
SECTION 9.16. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on
behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the
Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance with the
Patriot Act. Each Borrower shall provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably
requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining
compliance with the Patriot Act.
SECTION 9.17. Power of Attorney. Each Designated Subsidiary of the Company,
pursuant to the terms of its Designation Agreement has authorized and appointed the Company as its
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver (a) any amendment, waiver or consent in accordance with
Section 9.01 on behalf of and in the name of such Subsidiary and (b) any notice or other
communication hereunder, on behalf of and in the name of such Subsidiary.
SECTION 9.18. Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.11 or 2.14, (b) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, (c) any Lender
asserts illegality pursuant to Section 2.12, (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (e) any
Lender has not agreed to any amendment, waiver or consent for which (x) the consent of all of the
Lenders is required and (y) Lenders owed or holding at least 85% of the sum of all outstanding
Revolving Credit Advances plus the aggregate Unused Revolving Credit Commitments have agreed to
such amendment, waiver or consent, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
9.07), all of 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) each such assignment shall be arranged by the Company after
consultation with the Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations
of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and
obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together
cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (ii) no
Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless and until such Lender shall have
received one or more payments from either the Borrowers or one or more Eligible Assignees in an
aggregate amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such
Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and
all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement and (iii) no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Jabil Credit Agreement
55
SECTION 9.19. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Company, the other Borrowers,
the Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the Notes or the actions of the Agent or any Lender in the
negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
