(i) The initial and each subsequent Interest Period selected by the Borrower for a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans shall be one, two, three or six months; provided, however, that (A) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day; (B) any Interest Period which begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; and (C) no Interest Period shall end after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by an irrevocable written notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto, duly executed by an Officer of the Borrower and appropriately completed (a “Notice of Revolving Loan Interest Period Selection”), not later than 9:00 a.m. at least three Business Days prior to the last day of each Interest Period for a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans of the Interest Period selected by the Borrower for the next succeeding Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, that no LIBOR Loan shall be continued for an additional Interest Period after the occurrence and during the

(f) Scheduled Revolving Loan Payments. The Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan in arrears (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of each quarter, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor (and, if any such Interest Period is longer than three months, every three months after the first day of such Interest Period); and (iii) in the case of all Revolving Loans, upon prepayment (to the extent thereof) and at maturity. All interest that is not paid when due shall be due on demand.

(i) Following the Closing Date, the Borrower may from time to time through January 5, 2010, propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitment in accordance with this Section; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or shall occur as a result of the Increased Commitment (as defined below), and (b) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with all covenants set forth in Sections 5.02(a) and (b) of this Agreement, and in Pro Forma Compliance with the Financial Covenants.

(ii) The aggregate principal amount of the increases to the Commitment made pursuant to this Section 2.02 (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased

-39-

Commitment”), shall not exceed $50,000,000. The Borrower shall provide at least 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders) of any requested Increased Commitment.

(b) Adjustment to Commitment.

(i) Each Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), for a period of 10 days following receipt of the notice referred to in Section 2.02(a), to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to participate in the Increased Commitment pro rata according to its then-respective Revolving Proportionate Share. No Lender which fails to respond shall be deemed to have elected to increase its Commitment in response to a notice by the Borrower under this Section 2.02.

(ii) If any Lender party to this Agreement (whether at the Closing Date or by assignment thereafter) elects not to increase its Commitment pro rata according to its Revolving Proportionate Share pursuant to clause (i), the Borrower may designate one or more other lenders which qualify as Eligible Assignees (which may be, but need not be, existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to (a) in the case of any such designated Lender that is an existing Lender, increase its Revolving Proportionate Share of the Commitment and (b) in the case of any other such lender (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Proportionate Share of the existing Lenders pursuant to this clause (ii) plus the new commitments of the Additional Lenders, if any, shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitment, nor shall the Increased Commitment exceed the sum of the increases in the Revolving Proportionate Share of the existing Lenders pursuant to clause (i) and this clause (ii) plus the new commitments of the Additional Lenders.

(iii) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower signed by the Borrower, by each Additional Lender and by each existing Lender whose Revolving Proportionate Share of the Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Revolving Proportionate Share of the Commitment of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitment, amendments to any Credit Documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in relation to the Increased Commitment solely to reflect such Increased Commitment (which amendments the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Lenders) and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitment and other assurances as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

2.03. Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars (or in Non-US Currency) for the account of the Borrower, (2) to convert on the Closing Date the Existing Letters of Credit to Letters of Credit in Dollars (or if such Existing Letters of Credit have been issued in Non-US Currency, then in the applicable Non-US Currency) for the account of the Borrower as if such Letters of Credit were issued on the Closing Date on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in each case all Letter of Credit fees in accordance with Section 2.03(i) and 2.03(j) shall be applicable from and after the Closing Date, (3) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (4) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower; provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit, if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations would exceed the Total Commitment at such time, (y) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed such Lender’s Commitment, or (z) either (A) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (B) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit would exceed the Non-US Currency Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

-41-

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all of the Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of the L/C Issuer;

(E) only with respect to a request for a Non-US Currency Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer determines that current or reasonably expected market conditions for the applicable Non-US Currency are unusually unstable or would make it unlawful, impossible or impracticable for the L/C Issuer to fund or hedge its obligations under the Non-US Currency Letter of Credit; or

(F) such Letter of Credit is: in a face amount less than (x) $50,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof on the date of issuance), in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or (y) $300,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof on the date of issuance), in the case of any other type of Letter of Credit or a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Officer of the Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m., at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which date shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding

-42-

Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which date shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s then-current Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its reasonable discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each 12 month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such 12 month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (and for avoidance of doubt, any Evergreen Letter of Credit to be renewed, whether automatically or at the request of the Borrower, to a date later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall require the approval of all Lenders); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

-43-

(i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date on which payment is to be made by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing. Not later than 9:00 a.m., on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (any reimbursement with respect to amounts drawn under a Non-US Currency Letter of Credit shall be paid in the applicable Non-US Currency, except that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may require that any reimbursement be paid in Dollars). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount (provided that in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount in a Non-US Currency (a “Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount”), such amount shall be the amount of Dollars necessary to purchase the applicable Non-US Currency in the amount of the Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount plus any related transaction costs, all of which are the Borrower’s responsibility; any excess Dollars shall be forwarded to the Borrower), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer), on a several basis, shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable upon demand by the Administrative Agent (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (provided that interest on any

-44-

Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount shall accrue based on the Non-US Currency Equivalent as of any date of determination of such Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount). In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03 (provided that in the case of any Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount, any such amount shall be such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of Dollars deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent to purchase the applicable Non-US Currency in the amount of the Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount plus any related transaction costs all which are the Borrower’s responsibility; any excess Dollars shall be forwarded to the Borrower).

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for, or participate in, amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the Obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

-45-

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. Without waiving Borrower’s right to later assert (by separate and independent action and not by way of setoff) any claims that it may have, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, the Credit Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(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 the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of the Credit Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(v) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

-46-

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly, and in any event prior to the L/C Issuer taking any applicable action with respect to such Letter of Credit, notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given before the action giving rise to such claims has been taken.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) which on its face appears to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such

-47-

drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. The Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a Lien on all such cash and deposit account balances described in the definition of “Cash Collateralize” as security for the Obligations. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells Fargo or other institutions satisfactory to it. The Lien held by the Administrative Agent in such cash collateral to secure the Obligations shall be released upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (a) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, (b) all L/C Obligations shall have been repaid in full and (c) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. To the extent that such cash collateral exceeds the L/C Obligations as Letters of Credit expire or are replaced or L/C Obligations decrease, such excess cash collateral shall be released to, or as directed by, Borrower; provided, however, that no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing.

(h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Standby Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share a Letter of Credit fee for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee Percentage (plus an additional 2% per annum, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall be the Non-US Currency Equivalent in the case of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit), prorated, if applicable, in the case of a renewal date or an expiry date of less than one year. Such fee for each standby Letter of Credit shall be due and payable after the issuance thereof, and any renewal or extension thereof (whether by amendment, automatic or otherwise). The fee is due and payable quarterly in arrears with each payment for the preceding quarter due on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately following such quarter, and is nonrefundable. Any increase or decrease in the standby Letter of Credit fee resulting from a change in the Borrower Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the fifth Business Day following the date a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.02(d)(ii); provided, however, that if no Compliance Certificate is delivered within three days of when due in accordance with such Sections, then Tier 5 shall apply as of the date of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate and thereafter the standby Letter of Credit fee shall be based on the Borrower Leverage Ratio indicated on such Compliance Certificate until such time as the standby Letter of Credit fee is further adjusted as set forth in this subsection (i). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the standby Letter of Credit fee in effect shall be determined based upon Tier 2 of the

-48-

Pricing Grid from the Closing Date up to but not including the fifth Business Day following the earlier to occur of (i) the date the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered after December 31, 2004 pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(iii) or (ii) the date the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(ii).

(j) Commercial Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share a Letter of Credit fee for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to the Commercial Letter of Credit Fee Percentage on the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall be the Non-US Currency Equivalent in the case of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit), prorated, if applicable, in the case of a renewal date or an expiry date of less than one year. Such fee for each commercial Letter of Credit shall be due and payable after the issuance thereof, and any renewal or extension thereof (whether by amendment, automatic or otherwise). The fee is due and payable quarterly in arrears with each payment for the preceding quarter due on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately following such quarter, and is nonrefundable. Any increase or decrease in the commercial Letter of Credit fee resulting from a change in the Borrower Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the fifth Business Day following the date a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(d)(ii); provided, however, that if no Compliance Certificate is delivered within three days of when due in accordance with such Sections, then Tier 5 shall apply as of the date of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate and thereafter the commercial Letter of Credit fee shall be based on the Borrower Leverage Ratio indicated on such Compliance Certificate until such time as the commercial Letter of Credit fee is further adjusted as set forth in this subsection (j). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the commercial Letter of Credit fee in effect shall be determined based upon Tier 2 of the Pricing Grid from the Closing Date up to but not including the fifth Business Day following the earlier to occur of (i) the date the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered after December 31, 2004 pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(iii) or (ii) the date the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(ii).

(k) Issuance Fee; Documentary, Presentation, Amendment, and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account (i) an issuance fee in an amount with respect to each Letter of Credit (whether standby or commercial) equal to 0.125% per annum of the amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall be the Non-US Currency Equivalent in the case of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit), due and payable upon each L/C Credit Extension with respect to such Letter of Credit; and (ii) the customary, documentary, presentation, amendment, and processing fees, and other standard published costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect; provided, however that any Existing Letters of Credit converted on the Closing Date to Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(i) shall not be subject to new or additional issuance, customary, documentary, presentation, amendment, or processing fees. Any applicable fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(l) Non-US Currency Letters of Credit Computation of Non-US Currency Equivalent. The Administrative Agent will determine the Non-US Currency Equivalent with respect to any Non-US Currency Letter of Credit (i) as of the date of issuance thereof and (ii) as

-49-

of the last Business Day of each week (“Computation Date”). The Administrative Agent will provide the Borrower with written notice of the amount determined pursuant to this Section 2.03(l) from time to time, including following the end of each fiscal quarter. Upon receipt of such notice and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if the Non-US Currency Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be exceeded on any Computation Date, whether as a result of market fluctuation of the applicable Non-US Currency or otherwise, the Borrower shall (A) immediately prepay the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(e) or, if requested by the Administrative Agent (B) Cash Collateralize the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(g), in either case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

(m) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

2.04. Swing Line.

(a) The Swing Line. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Total Commitment at such time, and (ii) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.07, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender, on a several basis, shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan; provided, however, that the Lenders shall not have an obligation to purchase risk participations from the Swing Line Lender if the relevant Swing Line Loan was made without consent of the Required Lenders during the existence of an Event of Default of which the Swing Line Lender has actual knowledge. The Borrower shall pay all outstanding principal on Swing Line Loans (which may be refinanced as provided in Section 2.04(c)) on the fifteenth day of each month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) and the last Business Day of each month.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which

-50-

may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m., on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which amount shall be a minimum amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by an Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably requests the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, on the day specified in such Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot be requested in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i) or any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing submitted by the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

-51-

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such purchase of participations shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participation was outstanding and funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Shares of any Swing Line Loan, interest in

-52-

respect of all such Revolving Proportionate Shares shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan upon prepayment (to the extent thereof), on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter and at maturity.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05. Amount Limitations, Commitment Reductions.

(a) Optional Reduction or Cancellation of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon five Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent (each a “Reduction Notice”), permanently reduce the Total Commitment by the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof or cancel the Total Commitment in its entirety; provided, however, that:

(i) The Borrower may not reduce the Total Commitment prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such reduction, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total Commitment as proposed to be reduced; and

(ii) The Borrower may not cancel the Total Commitment prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.

Any Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that any Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date previously provided in the applicable Reduction Notice) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory Termination of Commitments.

(i) The Administrative Agent may, or upon instructions from the Required Lenders shall, by written notice to the Borrower, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Material Adverse Change, reduce the Total Commitment to zero.

(ii) The Total Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(iii) The Administrative Agent may, or upon instructions from the Required Lenders shall, by written notice to the Borrower, reduce the Total Commitment to zero if (x) any CBII Entity shall fail to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 5.02(p) of this Agreement, (y) such failure is material, and (z)(1) such failure occurs with an officer of the Borrower or CBII being aware of such failure before its occurrence, (2) such failure is not isolated, or (3) such failure continues without the Borrower’s promptly taking reasonable and practicable measures to remedy such failure or to mitigate the legal consequences of such failure after the date an officer of the Borrower or of CBII becomes aware of such failure.

-53-

(c) Effect of Commitment Reductions. From and after the effective date of any reduction of the Total Commitment, the Commitment Fees payable pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be computed on the basis of the Total Commitment as so reduced. Any reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 2.05(a) shall be applied ratably to reduce each Lender’s Commitment in accordance with clause (i) of Section 2.11(a).

2.06. Fees.

(a) Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the agent’s fees and other compensation in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter.

(b) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders as provided in clause (v) of Section 2.11(a), commitment fees (collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage of the daily average Unused Commitment for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Borrower shall pay the Commitment Fees in arrears on the last day in each March, June, September, and December (commencing March 31, 2005) and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or if the Total Commitment is cancelled on a date prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on such prior date). For purposes of the calculations under this Section 2.06(b), the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate Effective Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amounts, to the extent consisting of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit shall be based on the Non-US Currency Equivalents relating thereto as of the Business Day immediately preceding the last day in each March, June, September and December as applicable. Any increase or decrease in the Commitment Fee resulting from a change in the Borrower Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the fifth Business Day following the date a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.02(d)(ii); provided, however, that if no Compliance Certificate is delivered within 3 days of when due in accordance with such Sections, then Tier 5 shall apply as of the date of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate and thereafter the Commitment Fee shall be based on the Borrower Leverage Ratio indicated on such Compliance Certificate until such time as the Commitment Fee is further adjusted as set forth in this subsection (b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Commitment Fee in effect shall be determined based upon Tier 2 of the Pricing Grid from the Closing Date up to but not including the fifth Business Day following the earlier to occur of (i) the date the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered after December 31, 2004 pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(iii) or (ii) the date the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(ii).

(c) Upfront Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the upfront fee in the amount and at such times as specified in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter.

-54-

2.07. Prepayments.

(a) Terms of All Prepayments. Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.07(b), a mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.07(c) or a mandatory prepayment required by any other provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including a prepayment upon acceleration), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender that made such Loan (i) all accrued interest and fees to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and (ii) if such prepayment is the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14. For avoidance of doubt, all Lender Rate Contracts are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Lender Rate Contracts, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Credit Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in such written Lender Rate Contracts, and any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to said Lender Rate Contracts, except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

(b) Optional Prepayments.

(i) At its option, the Borrower may, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of Base Rate Loans or three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of LIBOR Loans, prepay without premium or penalty (except as expressly set forth in Section 2.14) the Base Rate Loans in any Borrowing and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in part, in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or in whole, and prepay the LIBOR Loans in any Borrowing and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in part, in a minimum principal amount of $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or in whole. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment; provided that if such prepayment is to be made on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall be subject to the payments required by Section 2.14. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all prepayments under this Section 2.07(b) which are applied to reduce the principal amount of the Loans shall be applied to the Loans as directed by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to direct the application of any such prepayments, such prepayments shall be applied first to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Swing Line Loans until paid in full, second to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full, and shall, in each case, to the extent possible, be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any such prepayment is made, the Lenders shall apply such prepayments to such Obligations as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion which determination shall be effective as to all Lenders (but for regulatory purposes, the Lenders may apply such payments internally as they shall determine).

(ii) At its option, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay

-55-

Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of the lesser of (x) $250,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, and (y) the outstanding balance of the Swing Line Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. Without reducing the Total Commitments or any of the Commitments except from and after the giving of notice by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(i), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as follows:

(i) If, at any time, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding exceeds the Total Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall immediately (A) prepay the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans in a sufficient amount are then outstanding, (B) then prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans in a sufficient amount are then outstanding, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (C) if the Total Commitment has been reduced to zero, Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations.

(ii) If, during any fiscal year (including fiscal year 2005), any Significant Party sells or otherwise disposes of any assets (other than (A) sales permitted under Sections 5.02(c)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) and (B) sales or leases between Borrower Entities or substantially equivalent exchanges of assets at Fair Market Value and upon terms at least as favorable as an arms-length transaction with unaffiliated Persons (collectively “Permitted Sales”)) and the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments of such assets sales or other dispositions (other than Permitted Sales), when added to the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments of all such sales by all Significant Parties during such fiscal year (other than Permitted Sales), in the aggregate, exceed 10% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth as of the end of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, the Borrower shall, after the completion of each sale or other disposition which results in such an excess or an increase in such an excess (but subject to the reinvestment exceptions below), prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Revolving Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(e), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such excess or such increase in such excess; provided that so long as the Net Cash Proceeds and the Temporary Cash Investments portion of the consideration (in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate as of the end of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year) for any such disposed assets (other than from Permitted Sales) is not less than 50% of all consideration for such disposed assets, only the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments at the time of sale will be counted for purposes of any prepayment required under this sentence and the remaining consideration shall be counted when received as cash or its equivalent, otherwise 100% of all net proceeds (cash and non-cash) shall be counted; and provided further that any prepayment required shall be exclusive of any cash and non-cash proceeds received in connection with the sale or disposition of, or collection on, the Banacol Notes, and the Equity Securities of Landec or Seneca Foods by any of the CBII Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to

-56-

make a prepayment pursuant to this clause (ii) with respect to any sale (a “Relevant Sale”) if the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent in writing at the time the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments from such Relevant Sale are received that it intends to reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments in property, plant, equipment, other assets, and/or investments (including joint ventures) in Food-Related Businesses to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments are in fact reinvested in the acquisition of such assets or investments within 180 days from the date on which the Borrower receives the Net Cash Proceeds and the Temporary Cash Investments from the Relevant Sale, provided, however, that the Borrower’s requirement to advise the Administrative Agent as provided above shall not apply to any Relevant Sales that in the aggregate are equal to or less than 10% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth as of the end of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. If, at any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Sale and prior to the acquisition of such assets or investments, the 180-day period provided in the preceding sentence shall elapse without the occurrence of the related acquisition or investment or an Event of Default shall occur and is continuing, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in the amount and in the manner described in the first sentence of this clause (ii).

(iii) If, during any fiscal year (including fiscal year 2005), any Significant Party receives insurance proceeds from property-related losses or other similar dispositions and the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments of such losses or other similar dispositions, when added to the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments of all such losses or other similar dispositions by all Significant Parties during such fiscal year, in the aggregate, exceed $20,000,000 for such fiscal year, the Borrower shall, after receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments from such losses or other similar dispositions which results in such an excess or an increase in such an excess (but subject to the reinvestment section below), prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Revolving Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(e), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such excess or such increase in such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to any losses or other similar dispositions (a “Relevant Loss”) if the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent in writing promptly after the time the excess Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments from such Relevant Loss are received that the Borrower intends to reinvest all or any portion of such excess Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments in property, plant, equipment, other replacement assets, and/or investments (including joint ventures) in Food-Related Businesses to the extent (A) such excess Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments are in fact committed to be reinvested by the Borrower pursuant to a purchase contract providing for the acquisition of such replacement assets that is executed by the Borrower and the related seller within one year from the date of such Relevant Loss and (B) the acquisition of such replacement assets or investments occurs within two years from the date on which the Borrower receives the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments from the Relevant Loss; provided, however, that the Borrower’s requirement to advise the Administrative Agent as provided above shall not apply to any Relevant Loss until the Relevant Losses during such fiscal year exceed $20,000,000. If, at any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Loss and prior to the acquisition of the related replacement assets or investments, the one-year or two-year period provided in clause (A) or (B), respectively, of the preceding sentence shall elapse without execution of the related purchase

-57-

contract (in the case of clause (A)), the occurrence of the related acquisition or investment (in the case of clause (B)) or an Event of Default shall occur and only so long as continuing, then, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in the amount and in the manner described in the first sentence of this clause (iii). At any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Loss and prior to the acquisition of the related replacement assets or investments, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall deposit the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments from such losses or other similar dispositions which result in an excess over the $20,000,000 per fiscal year amount described above or an increase in such an excess into an interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent (which interest-bearing account shall be perfected by the Borrower entering into a control agreement and other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) until such Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments are reinvested or paid toward the Loans as directed by the Borrower.

(iv) If, at any time after the Closing Date, any Significant Party issues or incurs any Indebtedness for borrowed money, including Indebtedness evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar instruments (provided that Permitted Indebtedness shall not be counted and non-cash assets received upon issuance of debt in connection with asset acquisitions shall be excluded), the Borrower shall, immediately after such issuance or incurrence, prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the outstanding Revolving Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(e), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds and Temporary Cash Investments of such Indebtedness.

(v) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Material Adverse Change, the Administrative Agent may, or upon instructions from the Required Lenders shall, by written notice to the Borrower demand, and the Borrower shall immediately thereafter prepay the outstanding Revolving Loans and the other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(e).

(d) Notice of Prepayment. Except in respect of Section 2.07(c)(v) and the requirement of immediate prepayment, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.07(c), (A) a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Treasurer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (B) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the Type and principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount required to be prepaid was greater than the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if applicable, the Commitments shall be permanently reduced) in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or Treasurer of the Borrower demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount resulting in such excess.

(e) Application of Prepayments. All prepayments which are applied to reduce the principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not reduce the Commitment (except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.05(b)(i) and 2.07(c)(v)) and shall be applied as follows: (A) to prepay the

-58-

Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans are then outstanding, and (B) then to prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans are then outstanding. Without modifying the order of application of prepayments set forth in the preceding sentence, all such prepayments shall, to the extent possible, be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay LIBOR Loans.

2.08. Other Payment Terms.

(a) Place and Manner. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrower shall make all payments due to each Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by payments to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address specified on Schedule VII, with each payment due to a Lender to be for the account of such Lender and such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. The Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in lawful money of the United States (except with respect to any Non-US Currency Letter of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount, which shall be paid in the Non-US Currency applicable to such Non-US Currency Letter of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount to the extent not repaid with the proceeds of a Base Rate Loan that was used to purchase the applicable Non-US Currency as set forth in Section 2.03(c)) and in same day or immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due. The Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.

The specification of payment of Non-US Currency Letters of Credit or Non-US Currency Unreimbursed Amount in the related Non-US Currency at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement is of the essence. Such Non-US Currency shall, subject to Section 2.03(c), be the currency of account and payment of such Letters of Credit under this Agreement. The obligation of Borrower in respect of such Letters of Credit shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the applicable Non-US Currency and transfer to such Lender under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of such Non-US Currency due under this Agreement. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of such Non-US Currency due under this Agreement, such Lender shall have an independent cause of action against the Borrower and the Guarantors for the currency deficit.

(b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Default Rate. On and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, until the time when such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived by the Required Lenders or all the Lenders (as required by this Agreement), the Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding principal amount of all Obligations owing hereunder at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin that would otherwise apply, plus 2.00% (the “Default Rate”) payable on demand. Overdue interest shall itself bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be compounded with the principal Obligations daily, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

-59-

(d) Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, second to accrued interest then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding Loans and L/C Borrowings.

(e) Failure to Pay the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Borrower has made or will make such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid to the Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lenders. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.08(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.09. Loan Accounts; Notes.

(a) Loan Accounts. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained by such Lender on its books (individually, a “Loan Account”), except that any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a note or notes pursuant to Section 2.09(b) and Section 2.09(c). Each Lender shall record in its Loan Accounts (i) the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, (ii) the interest rates applicable to each such Loan and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, (iv) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on each Loan and (v) such other information as such Lender may determine is necessary for the computation of principal and interest payable to it by the Borrower hereunder; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations. The Loan Accounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error as to the matters noted therein. In addition to the Loan Accounts, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control.

-60-

(b) Revolving Loan Notes. If any Lender so requests, such Lender’s Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto (individually, a “Revolving Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of such Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, (iii) dated the Closing Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note the date and amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender and of each payment or prepayment of principal thereon made by the Borrower, and agrees that all such notations shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to the matters noted; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations. The Borrower further authorizes each Lender to attach to and make a part of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. If, because any Lender designates separate Applicable Lending Offices for Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, such Lender requests that separate promissory notes be executed to evidence separately such Loans, then each such note shall be in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto, mutatis mutandis to reflect such division, and shall be (w) payable to the order of such Lender, (x) in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, (y) dated the Closing Date and (z) otherwise appropriately completed. Such notes shall, collectively, constitute a Revolving Loan Note.

(c) Swing Line Notes. The Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit F hereto (individually, a “Swing Line Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender, (ii) in the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans, (iii) dated the Closing Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed.

2.10. Loan Funding.

(a) Lender Funding and Disbursement to the Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of each Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule VII, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 3.01), the Administrative Agent shall promptly make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Wells Fargo with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of the Borrowing there are Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Borrower as provided above.

(b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance

-61-

with Section 2.10(a), and the Administrative Agent may on such date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not make the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from the date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at rates equal to (i) the daily Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date of such Borrowing through the third Business Day thereafter and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans thereafter. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.10(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to such amount. If the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Borrowing is not paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after the date of such Borrowing, the Borrower shall repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was disbursed to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

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

2.11. Pro Rata Treatment.

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

(i) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing and reduction of the Total Commitment shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;

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

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

(iv) Each payment of Letter of Credit fees and Commitment Fees payable under Sections 2.03(i) and (j) and Section 2.06(b) shall be shared among the Lenders with Commitments (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Lender so became a Lender;

-62-

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

(vi) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, fees paid in connection with any amendment, consent, waiver or the like) shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified.

(b) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans and the L/C Obligations obtained by all Lenders entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.12. Change of Circumstances.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, (i) the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined for any Lender due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market (and such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent) or (ii) the rate of interest for such Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan (and such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to the Borrower and the other Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, the Borrower’s right to request the making of, or conversion to a new Interest Period for, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Loans outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then-current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, unless such suspension has then ended.

-63-

(b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower’s right to request the making of, or conversion to a new Interest Period for, LIBOR Loans shall be terminated, and (ii) the Borrower shall, at the request of such Lender, either (A) pursuant to Section 2.01(d) convert any such then-outstanding LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or (B) immediately repay or convert any such LIBOR Loans if such Lender shall notify the Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Loans. Any conversion or prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.14. After any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such a Change of Law and until it is no longer unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan, all Revolving Loans of such Lender shall be Base Rate Loans.

(i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by the Borrower to any Lender on such a LIBOR Loan or in respect to such a LIBOR Loan under this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender imposed by its jurisdiction of incorporation or the jurisdiction in which its principal executive office is located); or

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

(iii) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition related to any LIBOR Loan or such Lender’s Commitment,

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing, or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or its Commitment or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder; then the Borrower shall from time to time, within five Business Days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts, submitted by such Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.12(c) shall survive the payment and

-64-

performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. No Lender may establish or change its Euro-Dollar Lending Office with the result that Borrower has greater payment obligations to such Lender than if such Lender chose another of its euro-dollar lending offices unless such Lender waives Borrower’s liability to the extent of such greater payment obligations.

(d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within five Business Days after demand of such Lender, such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs, submitted by any Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.12(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.13. Taxes on Payments.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or for the account of Borrower hereunder, or in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall be made 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 net income taxes (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax levy, impost or withholding or any Governmental Authority, political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under this Agreement being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under this Agreement or other Credit Documents to any Lender, (i) Borrower shall make all such deductions or withholdings, (ii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority, taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower and such Lender, as the case may be, have made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of any Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a) to the extent that (i) such Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents to a Lender which is not organized under the laws of the US or a state thereof at the time such Lender becomes a party to the Credit Documents (or designates a new lending office outside the US or after becoming a party to the

-65-

Credit Documents becomes organized under laws outside the US or a state thereof) or is attributable to such Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a Change in Law) to comply with delivery of appropriate documentation in accordance with Section 2.13(e) hereof, except to the extent that (x) such Lender (or its Assignee Lender, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office outside the US or a state thereof (or at the time of assignment to the Assignee Lender), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Taxes, or (y) such Lender is an Assignee Lender and/or replacement Lender, as the case may be, becoming a party to the Credit Documents at the Borrower’s request. Subject to no continuing Event of Default, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender whose withholding obligations change such that a Lender is entitled to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Taxes as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.16 of this Agreement (unless such Lender confirms to the Borrower that it will not seek any such additional amounts), or (ii) the obligation to pay such indemnity payment or additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of subsection (e) of this section when applicable.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority or taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from the delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including Governmental Charges, penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses, other than to the extent arising as a result of the Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Tax Receipt. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(e) Withholding Exemption Certificates. Within 30 days after becoming a party hereto and on or before the date, if any, such Lender (or participant, as applicable) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by Administrative Agent or Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so): (i) each Lender that is a US Person that is not a “domestic” corporation (as defined in IRC Section 7701) shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and Borrower with one original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an Officer, and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower; and (ii) each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the US

-66-

shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and Borrower with either: (A) two original US Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, or (B) a certificate that it is not (i) a “bank” (as defined in IRC Section 881(c)(3)(A)), (ii) a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of IRC Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of Borrower or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower (within the meaning of IRC Section 864(d)(4)), and two original US Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by an officer, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower. Each Lender shall deliver such new forms and documents prescribed by the US Internal Revenue Service upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms or other documents referred to in this Section 2.13, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms or other documents delivered by such Lender. Such Lender shall promptly provide written notice to each of the Administrative Agent and Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or other document (or any other form of certification adopted by the US Internal Revenue Service for such purpose). Each Lender providing one or more forms or certificates pursuant to this subsection (e) hereby represents, covenants and warrants the accuracy of the information provided therein.

(f) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Section 2.13 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the rights of each Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, each Lender shall be under no obligation to claim credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of the amount of such deduction or withholding in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes (or a credit therefor) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.13(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

-67-

2.14. Funding Loss Indemnification. If the Borrower shall (a) repay, prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan for which a Notice of Borrowing has been delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) or (c) fail to convert any Revolving Loans into LIBOR Loans in accordance with a Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after demand by any Lender, reimburse such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from all costs and losses incurred by such Lender as a result of such repayment, prepayment, conversion or failure. The Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include, without limitation, losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund a LIBOR Loan. Each Lender demanding payment under this Section 2.14 shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount demanded. Such a certificate so delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.14 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.15. Security.

(a) Security Documents. The Loans and the other Obligations of the Borrower and together with the Guarantees of the Obligations by the Guarantors, shall be secured by the Liens created by and as specified in the Security Documents; provided, however that each document or instrument required to be filed, registered, or recorded to register or perfect security interests in Non-US jurisdictions shall be limited to those jurisdictions in which any CBII Entity generates Significant Revenue; provided further, (A) no filings, registrations, or recordings shall be undertaken in those Non-US jurisdictions where in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion the value of the Collateral pledged as security for the Revolving Loans is not materially significant in relation to the costs of the filings, registrations, or recordings, (B) the Equity Securities of Landec and Seneca Foods shall not be required to be pledged as security for the Revolving Loans, and (C) as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no lock box, blocked account, dominion of funds arrangements, and/or control agreements shall be required in respect of the Collateral pledged as security for the Revolving Loans (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.07(c)(iii) hereof). So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with this Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract shall be secured (but on a silent basis, so that notwithstanding any other provision, if any, in this Agreement, no holders of Lender Rate Contracts shall be able to take any action in respect of the Collateral nor instruct the Required Lenders to take any action in respect of the Collateral until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full) by the Lien of the Security Documents.

-68-

(b) Further Assurances. The Borrower shall deliver, and shall cause each of its US Subsidiaries, Significant Non-US Subsidiaries (other than GWF and its Subsidiaries), and CBII to deliver to the Administrative Agent, such additional security agreements, pledge agreements, guarantee agreements, and other instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) as the Administrative Agent may request to effectuate the terms under and in accordance with the Security Documents and thereby to:

(i) (A) grant, maintain, protect and evidence security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent, (B) perfect security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent that may be perfected solely by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (but no fixture, crop, timber, mineral, or other similar filings) in the central filing office of the state of organization of the Borrower, CBII and US Subsidiaries, and (C) perfect security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent that may be perfected solely by filing the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (or the short form security documents attached thereto) in the appropriate indexes of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, in each case, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in any or all present and future property of the Borrower, US Subsidiaries, Significant Non-US Subsidiaries (other than GWF and its Subsidiaries), and CBII which would constitute Collateral under and in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents prior to the Liens or other interests of any Person, except to the extent Permitted Liens have priority; and

(ii) otherwise establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights provided to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, under and in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents;

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents (and recognizing the supremacy of this proviso over any conflicting provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document), the parties to this Agreement covenant and agree that: (A) no filings, registrations, or recordings shall be undertaken in those Non-US jurisdictions where the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion the value of the Collateral pledged as security for the Revolving Loans is not materially significant in relation to the costs of the filings, registrations, or recordings to the amount of the Commitment, (B) the Equity Securities of Landec or Seneca Foods shall not be required to be pledged as security for the Revolving Loans, (C) as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no lock box, blocked account, dominion of funds arrangements, and/or control agreements shall be required (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.07(c)(iii) hereof), (D) regardless of whether this Agreement or any other Credit Document requires the Lenders to deliver one or more Security Documents to perfect a Lien, the only Security Documents that are in fact required to be delivered are those that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines are necessary or desirable in order to perfect a Lien on that portion of the Collateral on which this Agreement obligates the Loan Parties to provide a perfected first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens having priority), which is and shall be limited to (v) all now owned and hereafter acquired tangible and intangible personal property assets of CBII, Borrower, and US Subsidiaries in which a security interest (a) may be perfected by filing financing statements (but not fixture, crop, timber, mineral, or other similar filings) in the applicable filing offices or (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, may be perfected by lock box, blocked account dominion of funds arrangement, and/or control agreements as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders, (w) the Chiquita Trademarks owned by the Borrower in the US (which Chiquita Trademarks owned by the Borrower constitute all material Chiquita Trademarks consisting of trademarks), (x) those Chiquita Trademarks described on Schedule VI in the jurisdictions listed

-69-

on such schedule, (y) the Pledged Equity Securities of the Pledged Persons pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, and (z) the Pledged Intercompany Notes, and (E) on the terms and subject to clauses (C) and (D), the representations, warranties, covenants, and other provisions of this Agreement and other Credit Documents shall, as applicable, be interpreted to recognize that the Liens are to be perfected in only the above-described portion of the Collateral. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, may take additional steps to perfect (and to require the Borrower to assist in perfecting) Liens on the Collateral.

(c) German and Dutch Parallel Security and Parallel Obligations. For the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of security under those Security Documents subject to the laws of (or to the extent affecting assets situated in) Germany or The Netherlands (the “Parallel Security”), the parties hereto agree that notwithstanding any contrary provision in any of the Credit Documents:

(i) the Borrower undertakes (such undertakings are referred to hereinafter as the “Parallel Obligations”) to pay to the Administrative Agent, without duplication and when due, amounts equal to all present and future amounts owing by the Borrower to any Lender under any of the Credit Documents (the “Lender Obligations”);

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to demand payment of the Parallel Obligations when due;

(iii) the Parallel Obligations shall not limit or affect the existence of the Lender Obligations to a Lender, for which such Lender shall have an independent right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to demand payment when due;

(iv) notwithstanding paragraphs (ii) and (iii), payment by the Borrower of its Parallel Obligations to the Administrative Agent shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Lender Obligations owing to the relevant Lender and payment by the Borrower of its Lender Obligations to the relevant Lender shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Parallel Obligations owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent;

(v) the Parallel Obligations are owed to the Administrative Agent in its own name and not as agent or representative of any other person nor as trustee and the Parallel Security shall secure the Parallel Obligations so owing; and

(vi) without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s right to protect, preserve or enforce its rights under any Security Document, the Administrative Agent undertakes to each Lender not to exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations without the consent of the relevant Lender.

(d) Release of Collateral. Upon termination of the Commitments and the full Cash Collateralization of the then outstanding L/C Obligations and the payment in full of all Loans and all other non-contingent Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the

-70-

Obligations have not been accelerated, the Liens granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral shall be released even though obligations on or under the Lender Rate Contracts remain outstanding.

2.16. Replacement of the Lenders. If (a) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender more than one time in a period of 12 consecutive months, (b) any Lender shall continue as a Defaulting Lender for more than five Business Days at any time, (c) any Lender shall suspend its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b), (d) any Lender shall demand any payment under Sections 2.12(c), 2.12(d) or 2.13, or (e) any Lender’s right to payment under Section 2.13 changes as a result of a Change in Law (unless such Lender confirms to the Borrower that it will not seek any additional amounts as a consequence of such Change in Law), then, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Administrative Agent (i) may replace such Lender (the “affected Lender”), or cause such affected Lender to be replaced, or (ii) upon the written request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall cause such affected Lender to be replaced, with another lender (the “replacement Lender”) satisfying the requirements of an Assignee Lender under Section 8.05(c) (provided that at the time of the assignment, such Assignee Lender shall not be subject to the circumstances described in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 2.16), by having the affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 2.16, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) to the replacement Lender pursuant to Section 8.05(c); provided, however, that if the Borrower seeks to exercise such right, it must do so within 120 days (180 days in respect to Borrower’s invoking any replacement right as a result of the occurrence of any event or events giving rise to Lender’s right to payment under Section 2.13) after the Borrower first receives notice of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to such right, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a replacement Lender for the Borrower (it being expressly agreed that in such circumstances it is the Borrower’s obligation to identify or locate a replacement Lender). Upon receipt by any affected Lender of a written notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the Administrative Agent or Borrower is exercising the replacement right set forth in this Section 2.16, such affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 2.16, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) to the replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and Section 8.05(c) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the affected Lender’s Loans so sold and assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled through the Assignment Date.

(c) Enforceability. Each Credit Document executed, or to be executed, by each Loan Party has been, or will be, duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitutes, or will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by Debtor Relief Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity and (ii) as to the effect of Non-US laws which may limit the enforcement of certain provisions of the Credit Documents executed by a Non-US Person provided that the effect thereof does not have a Material Adverse Effect on the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents.

(e) Approvals.

(i) Other than any such matters that may be required of a Non-US Lender in connection with its involvement in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person (including, without limitation, the shareholders of any Person) is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents executed by any Loan Party or the performance or consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for those which have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect and with respect to that portion of the Collateral the perfection of which is not required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

-79-

(ii) All Governmental Authorizations have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect without any known conflict with the rights of others and free from any unduly burdensome restrictions, where any such failure to obtain such Governmental Authorizations or any such conflict or restriction could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No Significant Party has received any written notice or other written communications from any Governmental Authority regarding (i) any revocation, withdrawal, suspension, termination or modification of, or the imposition of any material conditions with respect to, any Governmental Authorization, or (ii) any other limitations on the conduct of business by any Significant Party, except where any such revocation, withdrawal, suspension, termination, modification, imposition or limitation could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) No Violation or Default. No Significant Party is in violation of or in default with respect to (i) any Requirement of Law applicable to such Person or (ii) any Contractual Obligation of such Person (nor is there any waiver in effect which, if not in effect, could result in such a violation or default), except where, in each case, such violation or default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that, to the extent it could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, this representation and warranty shall not apply to any actions or omissions by any currently or heretofore existing CBII Entities or their respective officers, directors or other representatives, in respect of the Colombian Operations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Significant Party (A) has violated any Environmental Laws, (B) has any liability under any Environmental Laws or (C) has received notice or other communication of an investigation or is under investigation by any Governmental Authority having authority to enforce Environmental Laws, where such violation, liability or investigation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

(g) Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.01(g), no actions (including derivative actions), suits, proceedings or investigations are pending or to the knowledge of any of Borrower’s officers or directors threatened against any Significant Party at law or in equity in any court, arbitration proceeding or before any other Governmental Authority which (i) could

In the case of any Pledged Equity Securities and Pledged Intercompany Notes, when any stock certificates representing such Pledged Equity Securities together with signed and undated stock powers (and any other actions, filings, registrations, or recordings that may be necessary under any applicable Non-US jurisdiction) and any such Pledged Intercompany Notes duly endorsed in blank (and any other actions, filings, registrations, or recordings that may be necessary under any applicable Non-US jurisdiction) are delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Lien created by the Security Agreement shall be free of all adverse claims and/or constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral as security for the Obligations or the Guarantee Agreements, as the case may be. In the case of the other Collateral described in the Security Agreement a security interest in which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code, when Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the applicable filing offices, the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral set forth in the filings, as security for the Obligations or the Guarantee Agreements, as the case may be, prior and superior to the Lien of any other Person (except to the extent Permitted Liens have priority).

-81-

(ii) The Pledge Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable Lien, and if applicable a first priority Lien and/or a Lien free of all adverse claims (to the extent that this Agreement obligates the Loan Parties to provide such a perfected first priority Lien and/or a Lien free of all adverse claims, and except to the extent Permitted Liens have priority), in the Collateral described therein as security for the Obligations or the Guarantee Agreements, as the case may be, to the extent that a legal, valid, binding and enforceable Lien in such Collateral may be created under applicable law of the US and any states thereof, including without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code, or in any other applicable Non-US jurisdiction.

(iii) The Intellectual Property Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable first priority Lien (to the extent that this Agreement obligates the Loan Parties to provide such a perfected first priority Lien, and except to the extent Permitted Liens have priority) in the Collateral described therein as security for the Obligations or the Guarantee Agreements, as the case may be, to the extent that a legal, valid, binding and enforceable security interest in such Collateral may be created (A) with regard to such Collateral registered in the US under applicable law of the US and any states thereof, including without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code and the United States Trademark Act of 1946, the United States Patent Act of 1972 or the United States Copyright Act of 1976, as applicable (the “US IP Collateral”) or (B) with regard to such Collateral registered in non-US jurisdictions under the law of such applicable Non-US jurisdiction. Upon the proper and timely filing of (i) the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (or the short form security documents attached thereto) in the appropriate indexes of the United States Patent and Trademark Office relative to patents and trademarks (within three (3) months after the Closing Date), and the United States Copyright Office relative to copyrights (within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date), where the documents filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office do not contain any conditional assignment provisions, together with provisions for payment of all requisite fees, (ii) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in appropriate form for filing in the applicable filing offices, and/or (iii) any other actions, filings, registrations, or recordings that may be necessary under any applicable Non-US jurisdiction, together with the proper fees, the Lien created by the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the US IP Collateral described therein, as security for the Obligations or the Guarantees of the Obligations, as the case may be, prior and superior to the Lien of any other Person (except to the extent Permitted Liens have priority).

-82-

(j) Equity Securities. All outstanding Equity Securities of the Pledged Persons have been duly authorized, validly issued and to the extent applicable, fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, conversion rights, warrants or other agreements or commitments of any nature whatsoever (firm or conditional) obligating the Pledged Persons to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, any additional Equity Securities of the Pledged Persons, or obligating the Borrower or the Pledged Persons to grant, extend or enter into any such agreement or commitment. All Equity Securities of the Pledged Persons have been offered and sold in compliance with all applicable US state securities laws and all other Requirements of Law, except where any failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k) No Agreements to Sell Assets Except as set forth on Schedule 4.01(k), no Significant Party has any legal obligation, absolute or contingent, to any Person to sell the assets of any Significant Party (except any Permitted Asset Disposition as permitted by Section 5.02(c)), or to effect any merger or consolidation of any Significant Party (except any Permitted Acquisition as permitted by Section 5.02(d)) or to enter into any agreement with respect thereto.

(l) Employee Benefit Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.01(l):

(i) Based upon the latest actuarial valuation report of each Pension Plan and using the actuarial assumptions specified in IRC Section 412 for purposes of determining the Pension Plan’s minimum funding requirements, the present value of the accrued liability did not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of such Pension Plan by more than $3,500,000 in the case of any single Pension Plan and by more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all Pension Plans. Neither any Significant Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has post-retirement benefit obligations (determined as of the last day of Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with FASB No. 106) under any Employee Benefit Plan which is a welfare plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), other than liabilities attributable to health plan continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I(B) of ERISA, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Each Employee Benefit Plan complies, in both form and operation, in all material respects, with its terms, ERISA and the IRC, except for instances of noncompliance which could not reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by any Significant Party or any ERISA Affiliate of any material liability, fine or penalty. Each Employee Benefit Plan, related trust agreement, arrangement and commitment of any Significant Party or any ERISA Affiliate is legally valid and binding and in full force and effect. No Employee Benefit Plan is being audited or investigated by any government agency or is the subject of any pending or, to the best of the knowledge of any of Borrower’s officers or directors, threatened claim or suit. None of the Borrower and the ERISA Affiliates nor, to the best of the knowledge of any of Borrower’s officers or directors, any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC.

(iii) None of the Significant Parties and the ERISA Affiliates contributes to or has any material contingent obligations to any Multiemployer Plan. None of the Significant Parties and the ERISA Affiliates has incurred any material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such

-83-

Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in Section 4204 of ERISA. None of the Significant Parties and the ERISA Affiliates has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of Section 4241 or Section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA.

(iv) No Significant Party has (A) engaged in any transaction prohibited by any Governmental Rule applicable to any Non-US Plan; (B) failed to make full payment when due of all amounts due as contributions to any Non-US Plan; or (C) otherwise failed to comply with the requirements of any Governmental Rule applicable to any Non-US Plan, where singly or cumulatively, the above could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Other Regulations. No Significant Party is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code or to any other Governmental Rule limiting its ability to incur indebtedness where singularly or cumulatively such limitation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights and Licenses. The Significant Parties each possess and either own, or have the right to use to the extent required by their business operations, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights and licenses (collectively “Chiquita Trademarks”) which are material to the conduct of their respective businesses as now operated, including, but not limited to, the Principal Trademarks. The Borrower owns all material Chiquita Trademarks that are trademarks. All such material Chiquita Trademarks are set forth on Schedule 4.01(n) hereto as supplemented by the Borrower annually in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(vi)). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.01(n) hereto, the Significant Parties each conduct their respective businesses without infringement or, to the best of the knowledge of any of Borrower’s officers or directors, after Due Inquiry, claim of infringement of any trademark, trade name, trade secret, service mark, patent, copyright, license or other intellectual property rights of any other Person (which is not a Significant Party), except where such infringement or claim of infringement could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of the knowledge of any of Borrower’s officers or directors there is no infringement or, after Due Inquiry, claim of infringement by others of any material trademark, trade name, trade secret, service mark, patent, copyright, license or other intellectual property right of any of the Borrower Entities where such infringement or claim of infringement could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the material patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights owned by any Significant Party which is registered with any Governmental Authority is set forth on Schedule 4.01(n) hereto.

(o) Governmental Charges. The Significant Parties have filed or caused to be filed all US Federal and material state tax returns which are required to be filed by them. The Significant Parties have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes and other material Governmental Charges which have or may have become due pursuant to said returns or otherwise and all other Indebtedness, except (i) such Governmental Charges or Indebtedness, if any, which are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with GAAP) have been established and (ii) taxes not yet due and payable. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Significant Parties from their employees for all

-84-

periods in compliance with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and Non-US law and such withholdings have been timely paid when due to the respective Governmental Authorities in all material respects. Other than extensions of the statutes of limitations for income tax years 1995 through 2001 so that audits may continue, the Significant Parties have not executed or filed with the US Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority any agreement or other document that extends, or has the effect of currently extending, the period for assessment or collection of any taxes or Governmental Charges, where such extension could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p) Margin Stock. No Significant Party owns any Margin Stock which, in the aggregate, would constitute a substantial part of the assets of the Significant Parties (taken as a whole), and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry, directly or indirectly, any Margin Stock or to extend credit, directly or indirectly, to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, and no Significant Party is in violation of Regulation T, U or X issued by the Federal Reserve Board.

(q) Subsidiaries Schedule 4.01(q) hereto (as supplemented by the Borrower annually in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(vii)) sets forth each of the US Subsidiaries and each of the Significant Subsidiaries of the Borrower, their jurisdictions of organization, the classes of their Equity Securities, and the percentages of outstanding Equity Securities of each such class owned directly or indirectly by CBII or one or more of the Borrower Entities. All of the outstanding Equity Securities of each such Subsidiary indicated on Schedule 4.01(q) hereto (other than Subsidiaries of GWF) as owned by the Loan Parties are owned beneficially and of record by the Loan Parties free and clear of all Liens (except for the Liens of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent granted by the Security Documents and except for Permitted Liens).

All projections furnished by the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby have been based upon reasonable estimates and assumptions and the Borrower has no reason to believe that such estimates and assumptions were not reasonable at the date the projections were furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

None of the Material Documents of the Significant Parties has been terminated and each of such Material Documents is in full force and effect. None of the Significant Parties is in default in the observance or performance of any of its obligations under the Material Documents and each Significant Party has taken all action required to be taken as of the Closing Date to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder (other than possible defaults which may be the subject of any litigation referred to in Schedule 4.01(g)), except where such default or impairment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Brokerage Commissions. Other than amounts payable under the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter, no person is entitled to receive any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or similar fee or payment in connection with the extensions of credit contemplated by this Agreement as a result of any agreement entered into by any Loan Party. No brokerage or other fee, commission or compensation is to be paid by the Lenders with respect to the extensions of credit contemplated hereby as a result of any agreement entered into by the Borrower, and the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against any such claims for brokerage fees or commissions and to pay all expenses including, without limitation, attorney’s fees incurred by the Lenders in connection with the defense of any action or proceeding brought to collect any such brokerage fees or commissions.

The properties of the Significant Parties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the Significant Parties, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Significant Parties operate and comply with Section 5.01(d); provided, however, that no insurance coverage is maintained with respect to crops; and provided further that the Significant Parties may self-insure as is customary for similarly situated companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties. Schedule 4.01(w) (as supplemented by the Borrower yearly in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(xvi)) hereto accurately describes the insurance coverage maintained by the Significant Parties.

-86-

The Borrower’s use and operation of its business properties are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and Governmental Rules, including all applicable land use and zoning laws, except to the extent that non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE

VII. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG THE LENDERS.

7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Co-Lead Arrangers shall not have any duties or responsibilities or any liabilities under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents and any amendments, consents, waivers or any other actions taken in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall not require the consent of the Co-Lead Arrangers in such capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender or have any fiduciary duty to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any applicable Governmental Rule. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any CBII Entity contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders.

(b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article VII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

-105-

7.02. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting, upon instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all cases be fully protected by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required by Section 8.04), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders as the case may be) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

7.03. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrower, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary contained herein, the order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised (including, without limitation, the enforcement by any Lender of its Note) shall be determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

7.04. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The obligations of each Lender under this Section 7.04 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

-106-

7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of the CBII Entities and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors, in whatever capacity, shall (a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any CBII Entity; (b) have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any CBII Entities which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent (whether communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent), except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder; (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any CBII Entity or any officer, employee or agent of any CBII Entity in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document, (iii) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any of the liens or security interests intended to be created by the Credit Documents, or (iv) any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or (d) be liable for any circumstance, action, or failure to act in the nature described in clauses (a) through (c) above.

7.06. Resignation or Removal of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no right to approve a successor Administrative Agent if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Wells Fargo may not be removed as Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders unless Wells Fargo shall also simultaneously be replaced and fully released as “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Wells Fargo.

-107-

7.07. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Lender, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, and without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Document which may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release (and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to release) any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and the full Cash Collateralization of the then outstanding L/C Obligations and the payment in full of all Loans and all other non-contingent Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents, and additionally only if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Obligations have been accelerated, payment of the Borrower’s obligations on the Lender Rate Contracts; (ii) constituting property of the Loan Parties which is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the Credit Documents; (iii) constituting property leased to the Significant Parties under an operating lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the Credit Documents or which will concurrently expire and which has not been and is not intended by the Significant Parties to be, renewed or extended; (iv) consisting of an instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or (v) if approved or consented to by those of the Lenders required by Section 8.04. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.07.

7.08. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with the any Loan Party and its Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder. With respect to Loans, if any, made by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, and the terms “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS.

8.01. Notices.

(a) Notices Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, including without limitation Section 8.01(b), all notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered, if to the Borrower or to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, at its

-108-

respective facsimile number, e-mail address (only in respect of any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection, and Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion), or address set forth in Schedule VII hereto, if to any Lender, at the address or facsimile number specified for such Lender in Part B of Schedule I hereto, (or to such other facsimile number, e-mail address, or address for any party as indicated in any notice given by that party to the other parties). All such notices and communications shall be effective (a) when sent by an overnight courier service of recognized standing, on the second Business Day following the deposit with such service; (b) when mailed, first class postage prepaid and addressed as aforesaid through the United States Postal Service, upon receipt; (c) when delivered by hand, upon delivery; and (d) when sent by facsimile or e-mail transmission, upon confirmation of receipt; provided, however, that any notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender under Article II shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. Additionally, notwithstanding the obligation of the Borrower to send written confirmation of any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection, and Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion made by e-mail transmission if and when requested by the Administrative Agent, in the event that the Administrative Agent agrees to accept a Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection, or Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion made by e-mail transmission, such e-mail transmission of Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection, or Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion shall be binding on the Borrower whether or not written confirmation is sent by Borrower or requested by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may act prior to the receipt of any requested written confirmation, without any liability whatsoever, based upon e-mail notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower or its agents. The Administrative Agent’s records of the terms of any e-mail Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection, or Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion shall be conclusive on Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.

Each Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion and Notice of Interest Period Selection shall be given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address referred to above during the Administrative Agent’s normal business hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by the Administrative Agent after 9:00 a.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. In any case where this Agreement authorizes notices, requests, demands or other communications by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to be made by telephone or facsimile, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may conclusively presume that anyone purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate or other similar document received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender is such a person.

(b) IntraLinks. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make any material delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents, and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to any of the CBII Entities, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Credit Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system (which may be provided by the Administrative Agent, an Affiliate, or any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks, or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution

-109-

of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to the Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notification”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notification may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notification may be sent to such e-mail address.

8.02. Expenses. The Borrower shall pay on demand, whether or not any Credit Event occurs hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the facilities provided hereunder, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of amendments and waivers hereunder and thereunder and (b) all fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any of the Obligations or in preserving any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or the Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, including any proceeding or action commenced by the Administrative Agent or any Lender seeking relief from the automatic or similar stay in effect under any Debtor Relief Law, involving any Significant Party). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.02 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, trustees and advisors (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements, or expenses of any kind or nature and from any suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for attorneys’ fees and other expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of or relating to (a) the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or

-110-

related thereto, including the making of any Loans and any use by the Borrower of any proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, (b) any Environmental Damages, and (c) any claims for brokerage fees or commissions (other than any committed to be paid in writing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) in connection with the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or in connection with the Borrower’s failure to conclude any other financing, and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for all legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.03 shall obligate the Borrower to protect, indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnitee against any claim (i) to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) between or among Indemnitees. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that the Administrative Agent or any Lender believes is covered by this indemnity, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall give the Borrower notice of the matter and the Administrative Agent or such Lender may select its own counsel or request that the Borrower defend such suit, claim or demand, with legal counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not be required to so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have the right to defend, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any such matter that is in connection with a formal proceeding instituted by any Governmental Authority having authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s business or that of its Affiliates; provided further that if Borrower accepts the defense, it shall be authorized to select its own counsel and, in which event, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional costs of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s separate counsel, but the Borrower shall be required to coordinate with and keep the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and/or their counsel informed as to the progress of the defense. The Administrative Agent or such Lender may also require the Borrower to defend the matter. Any failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to notify the Borrower of any such suit, claim or demand shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Section 8.03 but shall reduce such obligations to the extent of any increase in those obligations caused solely by any such failure or delay which is unreasonable. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.03 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

(a) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) increase the Total Commitment (other than as set forth in Section 2.02), (ii) extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders hereunder, (iv) extend any date fixed for any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loans or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders, (v) amend this Section 8.04 or Section 2.02 or any other Section providing for voting percentages, (vi) amend the definition of

-111-

Required Lenders or (vii) release any Guarantor or any substantial part of the Collateral, except for any release in connection with a sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized by Section 5.02(c), must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders. In connection with any such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders (such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination, a “Proposed Change”), if the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 8.04 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, sell and assign to the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (a), the Commitment, the Revolving Loans, L/C Advances and participations in Swing Line Loans) for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Revolving Loans, L/C Advances and aggregate amounts funded under Section 2.04(c)(ii) in respect of Swing Line Loans, by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale. In such event, such Non-Consenting Lender agrees to execute an Assignment Agreement to reflect such purchase and sale, but regardless of whether such Assignment Agreement is executed, such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights hereunder, except rights under Section 8.03 with respect to actions prior to such date, shall cease from and after the date of tender by the purchaser of the amount of the purchase price;

(b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which increases or decreases the Revolving Proportionate Share of any Lender must be in writing and signed by such Lender, subject to increases and adjustments pursuant to Section 2.02;

(c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender;

(d) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it must be in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer; and

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

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

-112-

8.05. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (vii) of Section 8.04(a) but shall not otherwise require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are not paid when due (whether upon acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any other Credit Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents; provided, however, that (i) no Participant shall exercise any rights under this sentence without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) no Participant shall have any rights under this sentence which are greater than those of the selling Lender and (iii) such rights of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share the payment so obtained with all of the Lenders as provided in Section 2.11(b). The Borrower also agrees that any Lender which has transferred any participating interest in its Commitment or Loans shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full benefits accorded such Lender under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14, as if such Lender had not made such transfer.

(c) Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to any Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an “Assignee Lender”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (c), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) (such a sale and assignment to be referred to herein as an “Assignment”) pursuant to an assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an “Assignor Lender”) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that:

(i) Each Assignee Lender shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender as each may require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then outstanding;

-113-

(ii) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate thereof;

(iii) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the Commitment or Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (except that a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Commitment or Loans to zero without the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent except to the extent such written consent is required by clause (ii) above or clause (iv) below); and

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

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may, without diminishing or relieving it of its obligations hereunder, assign to a Conduit Lender its right to make Loans under this Agreement and such Conduit Lender in turn may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above. Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy, Debtor Relief Law or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage, expense, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, or suits of any kind whatsoever arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment Agreement and payment of the fee referred to in subsection (e) below, from and after the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such

-114-

Assignment Agreement and shall have the rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall be a Lender with a Commitment and Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement or, if the Commitment and Loans of the Assignor Lender have been reduced to $0, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however, that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender, the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Commitment and Loans to $0 and the resulting adjustment of Commitment and Loans arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Revolving Loan Note, if any, of the Assignor Lender thereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note to the order of each Assignee Lender thereunder that requests such a note (with each new Revolving Loan Note to be in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by such Assignee Lender) and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender hereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note to the order of the Assignor Lender if so requested by such Assignor Lender (with the new Revolving Loan Note to be in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it). Each such new Revolving Loan Note shall be dated the Closing Date (but with a notation of the date through which interest is paid), and each such new Note shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “Replaced”. Each Assignee Lender which was not previously a Lender hereunder and which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall, within three Business Days of becoming a Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of US Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor applicable form), as the case may be.

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

(e) Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required by Section 8.05(c), by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative

-115-

Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to the Lenders and the Borrower a revised Schedule I reflecting the names, addresses and respective Commitment or Loans of all Lenders then parties hereto.

(f) Disclosure to Potential Participant or Assignee Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the Credit Documents and any financial or other information relating to any Borrower Entity to each other or to any potential Participant or Assignee Lender, subject to an agreement that the potential Participant or Assignee Lender shall keep such information confidential in accordance with their usual and customary business practices.

(g) Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall relieve the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

8.06. Setoff; Security Interest.

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

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

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

-116-

8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE LEAD ARRANGER, THE CO-LEAD ARRANGER, THE SWING-LINE LENDER, THE L/C ISSUER, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT.

8.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes. Transmission by telecopier of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

8.11. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, New York County and the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of New York and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against the Borrower in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue the Borrower in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon the Borrower in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in any such suit. The Borrower irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York to any court of the United States of America; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of the Borrower or to post a bond or to take similar action.

8.12. Relationship of Parties. The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of a borrower and lenders. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates; nor shall the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent do not undertake or assume any

-117-

responsibility or duty to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform the Borrower or any of its Affiliates of any matter in connection with its or their Property, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the operations of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. The Borrower and each of their Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates is entitled to rely thereon.

8.13. Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents.

8.14. Waiver of Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not seek from the Lenders or the Administrative Agent punitive, consequential, or indirect damages relating to any such matters under any theory of liability.

8.15. Arbitration.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the Loans and related Credit Documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination, or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in New York selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq.), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. Section 91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or

-118-

personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subsection.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided, however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of New York or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of New York, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of New York and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

-119-

(h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Credit Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. The arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 8.15 shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Credit Documents or any relationship between the parties.

(i) Participations. All participations in the Obligations or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to provisions hereof or otherwise, are intended to be “true sales” for purposes of financial reporting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140. Accordingly, the L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender and any Lender that sells or is deemed to have sold a participation in the Obligations (including any participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and/or Loans (each a “Participation Seller”) hereby agrees that if such Participation Seller receives any payment in respect of the Obligations to which such participation relates through the exercise of setoff by such Participation Seller against the Borrower or any other obligor, then such Participation Seller agrees to promptly pay to the participating party in such participation such participant’s pro rata share of such setoff (after giving effect to any sharing with the Lenders under Section 2.11 hereof).

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

8.16. OFAC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, in the event that the failure by any CBII Entity to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 5.02(p) is not material or in the event that any CBII Entity fails to observe or perform the covenant contained in Section 5.02(p) without any officer of the Borrower or CBII being aware of such failure before its occurrence, such failure is isolated, and the Borrower promptly takes reasonable and practicable measures to remedy such failure or to mitigate the legal consequences of such failure after the date that an officer of the Borrower or of CBII becomes aware of such failure, such failure, in either such case, shall not constitute a violation of this Agreement for any reporting, borrowing, or related purposes under any of the Credit Documents.
