Lending Office to the Agent (x) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing denominated in Dollars, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in Dollars and (y) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing in a Committed Currency, at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency as shall have been notified by the Agent to the Lenders prior thereto, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in such Committed Currency. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent will make such funds available to such Borrower’s Account at the location specified by such Borrower in its Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing. Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing the Agent will notify each Lender of the tenor and the amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing.

(vi) If the Borrower proposing the Competitive Bid Borrowing notifies the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, that it accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to paragraph (iii)(y) above, such notice of acceptance shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. Such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure by such Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing for such Competitive Bid Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing when such Competitive Bid Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(b) Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Committed Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Committed Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing) in excess thereof and, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Borrower that has borrowed such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (a) above. If required under applicable lending rules, the foregoing amount shall be rounded to the nearest whole number in the applicable Committed Currency.

(c) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03, any Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.03, repay or prepay pursuant to subsection (d) below, and reborrow under this Section 2.03; provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made within three Business Days of the date of any other Competitive Bid Borrowing.

(d) Any Borrower that has borrowed through a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall repay to the Agent for the account of each Lender that has made a Competitive Bid Advance, on the maturity date of each Competitive Bid Advance (such maturity date being that specified by such Borrower for repayment of such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance. Such Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance unless, and then only on the terms, specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and set forth in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance.

(e) Each Borrower that has borrowed through a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Competitive Bid Advance specified by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its notice with respect thereto delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above, payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above, as provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), such Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of unpaid principal of and interest on each Competitive Bid Advance owing to a Lender, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable

thereon, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Competitive Bid Advance under the terms of the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance unless otherwise agreed in such Competitive Bid Note.

(f) The indebtedness of any Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid Note of such Borrower payable to the order of the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance.

SECTION 2.04. Fees(a) Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing September 30, 2004, and on the Termination Date.

(b) Agent’s Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Company and the Agent.

(c) Sub-Agent’s Fees. Finco shall pay to Citibank Canada, as Sub-Agent, for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Company and the Agent.

SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments(a) Optional Ratable Termination or Reduction. The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Unused Canadian Prime Rate Commitments of the Canadian Prime Rate Lenders; provided that each partial reduction (i) shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Facility.

(b) Non-Ratable Termination by Assignment. The Company shall have the right, upon at least ten Business Days’ written notice to the Agent (which shall then give prompt notice thereof to the relevant Lender), to require any Lender that makes a demand or as to which there is an obligation for payment under Section 2.11 or 2.14 to assign, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Notes to an Eligible Assignee selected by the Company; provided, however, that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such request and at the time of such assignment; (ii) the assignee shall have paid to the assigning Lender the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the date of such assignment on, the Note or Notes of such Lender; (iii) the Company shall have paid to the assigning Lender any and all facility fees and other fees payable to such Lender and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Lender under any provision of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any increased costs or other additional amounts owing under Section 2.11 and any indemnification for Taxes under Section 2.14) as of the effective date of such assignment; and (iv) if the assignee selected by the Company is not an existing Lender, such assignee or the Company shall have paid the processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.07(a) for such assignment; provided further that the assigning Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 8.05, shall survive such assignment as to matters occurring prior to the date of assignment.

SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Committed Advances Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Committed Advances then outstanding in respect of such Borrower.

SECTION 2.07. Interest on Committed Advances(a) Scheduled Interest on Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing by such Borrower to each Revolving Credit Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable Utilization Fee in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable Utilization Fee in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(b) Scheduled Interest on Canadian Prime Rate Advances. Finco shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Prime Rate Advance to each Canadian Prime Rate Lender from the date of such Canadian Prime Rate Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable Utilization Fee in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Canadian Prime Rate Advance shall be paid in full.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Rate Determination(a) Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate and each LIBO Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Appropriate Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii) or 2.07(i) , and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under Section 2.07(a)(ii).

(b) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Required Lenders reasonably and in good faith notify the Agent that (i) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Revolving Credit Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify each Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower of such Eurocurrency Rate Advances will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such

Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) exchange such Advances into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify each Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided that, if the circumstances set forth in clause (ii) above are applicable, the applicable Borrower may elect, by notice to the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders, to continue such Advances in such Committed Currency for Interest Periods of not longer than one month, which Advances shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus, for each Revolving Credit Lender, the cost to such Lender (expressed as a rate per annum) of funding its Eurocurrency Rate Advances by whatever means it reasonably determines to be appropriate. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Agent and the Company as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than ten Business Days after the first day of such Interest Period).

(b) If any Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended; provided that the applicable Borrower may elect, by notice to the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders within one Business Day of such Event of Default, to continue such Advances in such Committed Currency, whereupon the Agent may require that each Interest Period relating to such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall bear interest at the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for a period of three Business Days and thereafter, each such Interest Period shall have a duration of not longer than one month. “Overnight Eurocurrency Rate” means the rate per annum applicable to an overnight period beginning on one Business Day and ending on the next Business Day equal to the sum of 1%, the Applicable Margin and the average, rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16 of 1%, if such average is not such a multiple, of the respective rates per annum quoted by each Reference Bank to the Agent on request as the rate at which it is offering overnight deposits in the relevant currency in amounts comparable to such Reference Bank’s Eurocurrency Rate Advances.

(d) If Moneyline Telerate Markets Page 3750 or, if applicable, Page 248 of the Moneyline Telerate Service, is unavailable and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be,

(i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be,

(ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be automatically exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(e) Interest Act (Canada). Whenever a rate of interest hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

(f) Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

(g) Interest Paid by Finco. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by Finco under this Agreement exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that Section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that Section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that Section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of Finco and the Canadian Prime Rate Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to Finco. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Canadian Prime Rate Lenders will be prima facie evidence of such rate.

SECTION 2.09. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances Each Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all Revolving Credit Advances made to such Borrower denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances and no Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall result in more separate Revolving Credit Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower requesting such Conversion.

SECTION 2.10. Prepayments of Committed Advances. (a) Optional. Each Borrower may, upon notice at least two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances and Canadian Prime Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Committed Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part (without premium or penalty or additional costs other than pursuant to Section 9.04(c)), together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or the Equivalent thereof in a Committed Currency (determined on the date notice of prepayment is given) and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Revolving Credit Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c). Each notice of prepayment by a Designated Subsidiary shall be given to the Agent through the Company.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) If the Agent notifies the Company that, on any interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the sum of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of the sum of all Advances denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding exceeds 103% of the Revolving Credit Facility on such date, the Company and each other Borrower shall, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by the Borrowers in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Revolving Credit Facility on such date.

(ii) If the Agent notifies the Company that, on any interest payment date, the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Canadian Prime Rate Advances then outstanding exceeds 103% of the Canadian Prime Rate Facility on such date, Finco shall, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of Canadian Prime Rate Advances in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such amount to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Canadian Prime Rate Facility on such date.

(iii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance or a LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Revolving Credit Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b). The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrowers and the Appropriate Lenders.

SECTION 2.11. Increased Costs (a) If, after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System but excluding with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance any such requirement included in an applicable Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, its Notes or its obligation to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower of such Advances shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Each Lender will notify the Agent and the Company of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section within the time limitation set forth in Section 9.04(d) and will designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if such

designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

SECTION 2.12. Illegality If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency hereunder such Lender shall so notify the Agent and the Company, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent and the Company pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or such LIBO Rate Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, upon such demand, (a) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be and (b) if such Eurocurrency Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be.

SECTION 2.13. Payments and Computations (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds, without deduction for any counterclaim or set-off. Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 12:00 noon (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due in such Committed Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds, without deduction for any counterclaim or set-off. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18, and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate and of fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days and computations in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each

case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or facility fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies.

SECTION 2.14. Taxes (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13, 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, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by a jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof as a result of a past or present connection of such Lender or the Agent with such jurisdiction, and (iv) in the case of each Canadian Prime Rate Lender, any taxes that are imposed by Canada with respect to a payment made under this Agreement if such Canadian Prime Rate Lender is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) other than as a result of a change of law after the date such Canadian Prime Rate Lender became a party to this Agreement (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, or, if the Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or if the Sub-Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or to the Agent, (i) subject to the provisions below, the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased by such Borrower as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions, whether by such Borrower or the Agent, applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender, the Sub-Agent and the Agent each receive an amount equal to the sum they each would have received had no such deductions been made (for example, and without limitation, if the sum paid or payable hereunder from or in respect of which a Borrower or the Agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes is interest, the interest payable by such Borrower shall be increased by such Borrower as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional interest), such Lender and the Agent each receive interest equal to the interest they each would have received had no such deduction been made), (ii) such Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Agent) shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Agent) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under

the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement (other than an assignment by a Lender pursuant to Section 9.07 unless such assignment is made at the request of the Company) or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (as well as, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, each Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of The Netherlands, the Kingdom of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Belgium and Canada or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person or a corporation organized under the laws of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of The Netherlands, the Kingdom of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Belgium and Canada, if such Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Except as otherwise provided below, each Lender, (i) on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, (ii) on the date of the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, (iii) upon any change in its Applicable Lending Office, (iv) upon a change in its place of incorporation or a change in its tax classification as a corporate or fiscally transparent entity, and (v) within 30 days of receipt of any written request by any Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide such Borrower and the Agent with any form or certificate that is required by any taxing authority including, if applicable, two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying (if it is the case) that such Lender is exempt from Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes, or in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing or Competitive Bid Borrowing by Enterprises Belgium or Finco, is entitled to a reduced rate of Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty between Belgium or Canada, as the case may be, and the country of incorporation or organization of a Lender on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes; provided, however, that such Lender shall have been advised in writing by each Borrower (including at the time any renewal form is due) of the form or certificate applicable to it, determined by reference to the jurisdiction of organization and Applicable Lending Office of such Lender set forth on Schedule I hereto, in the case of each Initial Lender, or to the jurisdiction of organization and Applicable Lending Office of such Lender set forth in the Assumption Agreement or Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender, in the case of each other Lender, or such other branch or office of any Lender designated by such Lender from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Borrowing by Enterprises Limited, each Lender may provide evidence satisfactory to such Borrower and the Agent that it has filed the necessary applications for exemption from Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes within 10 Business Days of the relevant date specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of the preceding sentence in lieu of providing any form or certificate required by the relevant taxing authority on the relevant date specified above; provided, however, that for purposes of Section 2.14(f) no Lender shall be considered to have satisfied the requirements of this Section 2.14(e) until such Lender furnishes to such Borrower any form or certificate required by the relevant taxing authority certifying (if it is the case) that such Lender is exempt from Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information not substantially similar to the information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, W-8BEN or W-8ECI, and which a Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Company and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

“Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes” means (a) in the case of the Company and US Holdings, withholding taxes imposed by the United States, (b) in the case of Enterprises Limited, withholding taxes imposed by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, (c) in the case of Enterprises France, withholding taxes imposed by the Republic of France, (d) in the case of Netherlands Holdings and Enterprises Netherlands, withholding taxes imposed by the Kingdom of The Netherlands, (e) in the case of Enterprises Belgium, withholding taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Belgium, (f) in the case of Finco, withholding taxes imposed by Canada and (g) in the case of Enterprises Luxembourg, withholding taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Luxembourg.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide such Borrower with the appropriate form or certificate described in Section 2.14(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law (including, without limitation, any change in regulation or change in the interpretation of any statute or regulation or other rule of law) occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender (other than, in the case of clause (i) below for Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of The Netherlands and the Kingdom of Luxembourg, a Lender incorporated or organized under the laws of Canada) shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.14(a) or (c) (i) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of The Netherlands and the Kingdom of Luxembourg, the Taxes by reason of such failure or (ii) with respect to Taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Belgium or Canada, the Taxes imposed based on a withholding tax rate in excess of the rate allowed in the applicable income tax treaty between such country and the country of incorporation or organization of a Lender, as the case may be; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or certificate required hereunder, each Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request, and at such Lender’s expense, to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes; and provided, further, that should any Borrower be required to pay any amounts under Section 2.14(a) or (c), and such Borrower delivers to each Lender that received such amounts an opinion of counsel that payments to such Lender or the Agent were not in fact subject to Taxes, each Lender (x) shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers, including, but not limited to filing and pursuing a claim of refund in its own name (provided that the applicable Borrower agrees in writing to indemnify and reimburse such Lender for its actual out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such claim for refund), in obtaining a refund of Taxes, and if such Lender receives a refund of Taxes shall promptly pay such Taxes over to the applicable Borrower or (y) in the sole discretion of such Lender, may decline to claim any such refund but shall repay to the Borrowers within 30 days after the delivery of such opinion of counsel the amounts paid in respect of Taxes on payments that such opinion concluded were not in fact subject to Taxes and such Lender shall forego any indemnification claim against the Borrowers of such amounts.

(g) In addition, any Lender will not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.14(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of The Netherlands, the Kingdom of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Belgium and Canada to the extent that such Taxes would not be required to be paid but for the failure of any form provided by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(e) to be accurate and true unless such failure (x) is immaterial and does not impact the effectiveness of such form, (y) has been corrected prior to payment of Taxes by providing the Borrowers with an effective form or (z) would not have occurred but for (A) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which an Advance or Borrowing is made (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (B) a change in tax law.

(h) In the case of a Lender that initially becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an assignment under Section 9.07 or a Lender that undertakes a change in its Applicable Lending Office, a change in its place of incorporation or a change in its tax classification, no additional amounts will be payable by the Borrowers with respect to any Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that exceed the amount of such Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that are imposed prior to such assignment, change in Applicable Lending Office, change in place of incorporation or change in tax classification.

(i) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it will realize by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes to be paid or reimbursed by any Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under this Agreement or the Notes, any current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained but for the payment of such Taxes, such Borrower shall not be required to reimburse such Lender under subsection (a) or (c) above to the extent of such amount, net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such

Lender and allocable to securing such refund, deduction or credit; provided, however, that if such Lender subsequently determines that it is not entitled to such current monetary benefit, such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Lender with 30 days of written request by such Lender. If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by any Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under this Agreement or the Notes, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained but for the payment of such Taxes, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 2.14 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such Lender shall pay to such Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender and allocable to securing such refund, deduction or credit.

(j) Any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 will notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower of such claim within the time limitation set forth in Section 9.04(d) and agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with such Lender’s or the Agent’s (as the case may be) internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or the office of the Agent (as the case may be) if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole judgment of such Lender or in the reasonable judgment of the Agent (as the case may be), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be). Each Borrower shall promptly upon request by any Lender or the Agent take all actions (including, without limitation, the completion of forms and the provision of information to the appropriate taxing authorities) reasonably requested by such Lender or the Agent to secure the benefit of any exemption from, or relief with respect to, Taxes or Other Taxes in relation to any amounts payable under this Agreement.

(k) Each Canadian Prime Rate Lender hereby represents and warrants to Finco that it is not a non-resident of Canada for the purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Committed Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of such Committed Advances obtained by all the Appropriate Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Appropriate Lenders such participations in the Committed Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.16. Evidence of Debt (a) Each Appropriate Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Committed Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of such Advances. Each Borrower agrees that upon reasonable notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Revolving Credit Note or a Canadian Prime Rate Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Committed Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note or a Canadian Prime Rate Note, as the case may be, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Canadian Prime Rate Commitment of such Lender, provided that if such Lender shall have received a Note under any Existing Credit Agreement, such

Lender shall return such Note, marked “Cancelled”, to the applicable Borrower at or prior to the time of delivery of a Note under this Section 2.16.

(b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from such Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from each Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.17. Use of Proceeds The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Company agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or Aggregate Canadian Prime Rate Commitments (a) The Company may, at any time but in any event not more than once in any calendar year prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased by an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (each a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the Termination Date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments at any time exceed $2,700,000,000, (ii) on the date of any request by the Company for a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and on the related Revolving Credit Increase Date, S&P and Moody’s shall have assigned a High Rating to the commercial paper of the Company and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.03 shall have been satisfied.

(b) The Company may, at any time but in any event not more than twice in any calendar year prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Canadian Prime Rate Commitments be increased by an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (each a “Canadian Prime Rate Commitment Increase” and, together with the Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the Termination Date (the “Canadian Prime Rate Increase Date” and, together with any Revolving Credit Increase Date, an “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent; provided, however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Canadian Prime Rate Commitments at any time exceed $450,000,000, (ii) on the date of any request by the Company for a Canadian Prime Rate Commitment Increase and on the related Canadian Prime Rate Increase Date, S&P and Moody’s shall have assigned a High Rating to the commercial paper of the Company and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.03 shall have been satisfied.

(c) The Agent shall promptly notify such Lender(s) and/or Eligible Assignee(s) as the Company may specify to the Agent of a request by the Company for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which such Persons wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to participate in an increase in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Canadian Prime Rate Commitments, as the case may be (the “Commitment Date”). The requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lender(s) and/or Eligible Assignee(s) willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Company and the Agent.

(d) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Company as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders and Eligible Assignees are willing, in their sole discretion, to participate in the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that, in the case of Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and, in the case of a Canadian Prime Rate Commitment Increase, the Canadian Prime Rate Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $15,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(e) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment or Canadian Prime Rate Commitment, as applicable, of each Lender that has agreed to participate in a requested Commitment Increase (each such Lender, an “Increasing Lender”) for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(c)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of each Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrowers (which may be in-house counsel), in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto;

(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Company; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment or Canadian Prime Rate Commitment, as applicable, in a writing satisfactory to the Company and the Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(e), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Company, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

SECTION 2.19. Regulation D Compensation Each Lender that is subject to reserve requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) may require the applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Eurocurrency Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, additional interest on the related Eurocurrency Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, of such Lender at the rate per annum equal to the excess of (i) (A) the applicable Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage over (ii) the rate specified in clause (i)(A). Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower, in which case such additional interest on the Eurocurrency Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least five Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower at least five Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the amount then due it under this Section.

SECTION 5.02. Negative Covenants So long as any Advance shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Company will not, without the written consent of the Required Lenders:

(a) Liens, Etc. Create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee, any Secured Debt. The term “Secured Debt” means notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed secured by any Mortgage. The term “Mortgage” or “Mortgages” means any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrances upon any Principal Property or on any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired). “Restricted Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary which owns or is the lessee of any Principal Property. “Principal Property” means each bottling plant or facility; except any such bottling plant or facility which the Board of Directors of the Company by resolution reasonably determines not to be of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(1) Mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) Mortgages on property or shares of stock existing at the time of acquisition of such property or stock by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or existing as of July 2, 2004;

(3) Mortgages to secure the payment of all or any part of the price of acquisition, construction or improvement of such property or stock by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or to secure any Secured Debt incurred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, prior to, at the time of, or within 90 days after the later of the acquisition or completion of construction (including any improvements on an existing property), which Secured Debt is incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction of improvements thereon; provided, however, that, in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement, the Mortgage shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any theretofore substantially unimproved real property on which the property or improvement so constructed is located;

(4) Mortgages securing Secured Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary;

(5) Mortgages on property of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(6) Mortgages on property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any state thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any state thereof, or in favor of any other country or any political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of such country or political subdivision, to secure partial progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such Mortgages; or

(7) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) through (6), inclusive, provided, however, that the principal amount of Secured Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Secured Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements and construction on such property).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02(a), the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee Secured Debt secured by a Mortgage which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries which (if originally created, incurred, issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Secured Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (1) through (7) above), does not at the time exceed 15% of the shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as shown on the financial statements of the Company as of the end of the fiscal year preceding the date of determination.

(b) Leverage Ratio. Permit Consolidated Debt less Cash to be more than 75% of Total Capital, where “Cash” means cash and cash equivalents and interest bearing assets with maturities of one year or less; and “Total Capital” means the sum of Shareholders’ Equity, Deferred Income Taxes and Consolidated Debt less Cash. All such terms shall be as they appear on the Company’s published Consolidated financial statements and calculated under the generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied by the Company on the date hereof in the preparation of its Consolidated financial statements.

(c) Mergers, Etc. Merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, any Person, or permit any of its Significant Subsidiaries to do so, except that (i) any Significant Subsidiary of the Company may merge or consolidate with or into, or dispose of assets to, any other Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any Significant Subsidiary of the Company may merge into or dispose of assets to the Company or any other Person, provided in each case that, immediately after giving effect to such proposed transaction, no Default would exist, and, in the case of any such merger to which the Company is a party the Company is the surviving corporation.

(d) Affiliate Transactions. Engage in, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any transaction (other than transactions between the Company and any Subsidiary or between Subsidiaries of the Company) involving payments, or property having a fair market value, in excess of $60,000,000 with The Coca-Cola Company or any Person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, on terms less favorable to it or such Subsidiary than would be available in an arms’ length transaction with an unrelated Person.

(e) the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (i) commences a voluntary case; (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (v) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its property, or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 45 days; (vi) is the subject of an involuntary case which is not dismissed within 45 days after the filing thereof; (vii) fails to pay its debts generally as they become due or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or (viii) takes any corporate action to authorize the Company’s taking of any of the actions set forth in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors.

Lender to make Advances shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.

ARTICLE VII

GUARANTEE

SECTION 7.01. Unconditional Guarantee For valuable consideration, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and to induce each Lender to make Advances to Finco and the Designated Subsidiaries and to induce the Agent to act hereunder, the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Lender and the Agent the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of each of the other Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by any other Borrower to the Agent or any other Lender under this Agreement but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any such other Borrower.

SECTION 7.02. Guarantee Absolute The Company guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender or the Agent with respect thereto. The obligations of the Company under this Article VII are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company to enforce this Article VII, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Company under this guarantee shall be irrevocable absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

(d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any other Borrower; or

(e) any other circumstance, (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company, any other Borrower or a guarantor.

This guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any of the Lenders or the Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 7.03. Waivers (a) The Company hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for payment, protest, any requirement that any right or power be exhausted or any action be taken against any other Borrower or against any other guarantor of all or any portion of the Advances, and all other notices and demands whatsoever.

(b) The Company hereby waives any right to revoke this guaranty, and acknowledges that this guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) The Company acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waivers set forth in this Article VII are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(d) The Company agrees that payments made by it pursuant to this Article VII will be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 and Section 9.12 as if such payments were made by the Company in its capacity as a Borrower.

SECTION 7.04. Subrogation The Company will not exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower, any Designated Subsidiary or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent or any other Lender against another Borrower or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from another Borrower or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have expired or terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Company in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash or immediately available funds of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty and the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the other Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) the Company shall make payment to the Agent or any other Lender of all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) all the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty shall be paid in full in cash and (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Agent and the other Lenders will, at the Company’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Company appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Company of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by the Company.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from

acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

SECTION 8.04. Lender Credit Decision Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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 credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.05. Indemnification The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower), ratably according to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket

expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by a Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.

SECTION 8.06. Successor Agent The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be subject to the Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

Each Lender agrees promptly to notify applicable Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

SECTION 9.12. Judgment (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Notes in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Notes in a Committed Currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such Committed Currency with Dollars at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M.

(c) The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under a Note held by such Lender shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such other currency; if the Dollars so purchased are less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in Dollars, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the Dollars so purchased exceed such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in Dollars, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

SECTION 9.13. Jurisdiction, Etc.

Each Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.02. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 9.15. Power of Attorney Each Subsidiary of the Company may from time to time authorize and appoint the Company as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver (a) any amendment, waiver or consent in accordance with Section 9.01 on behalf of and in the name of such Subsidiary and (b) any notice or other
