Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 for Floating Rate Loans (and in intervals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), $7,500,000 for Fixed Rate Loans under the Domestic Credit Facility (and in intervals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), and $5,000,000 for Fixed Rate Loans under the Multicurrency Credit Facility (and in intervals of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof).

     (ii) Application of Converted Domestic Borrowing Base Excess. Upon at least seven days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Multicurrency Borrowers may elect to apply all or a portion of the excess of the amount of (x) the Domestic Borrowing Base as in effect based upon the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate over (y) the Credit Facility Outstandings for the Domestic Facility as of the proposed date of conversion, to support additional Borrowings under the Multicurrency Facility. Such excess amount shall constitute the “Converted Domestic Borrowing Base Excess”. The Multicurrency Borrowers shall not be entitled to make such election if such election would result in the remaining portion of the Domestic Borrowing Base being less than the Credit Facility Outstandings for the Domestic Facility or if an Event of Default would result therefrom or is then outstanding. Nothing constituting Converted Domestic Borrowing Base Excess shall be available to support Credit Facility Outstandings under the Domestic Facility. Upon at least seven days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Multicurrency Borrowers may return all or a portion of the Converted Domestic Borrowing Base Excess to the Domestic Borrowing Base in support of Credit Facility Outstandings under the Domestic Facility so long as such returned amount is not required to support Credit Facility Outstandings under the Multicurrency Facility.

     (b) Swing Loans. The Swing Loan Bank may, in its sole discretion, make to the Domestic Borrowers to whom the Domestic Loans are available loans (each a “Swing Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 (the “Maximum Swing Loan Amount”) and (ii) the Availability for the Domestic Credit Facility at such time. All Swing Loans made under the Domestic Credit Facility shall be made as Floating Rate Loans and shall be available in Dollars. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Swing Loans shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Revolving Loans. Swing Loans shall be repaid pursuant to the terms of Section 2.01(g) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

     (c) Overdraft Loans.

   (i) From time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, upon presentment to the Overdraft Line Bank for payment of an item drawn by a Multicurrency Borrower on a Euro Overdraft Account or Sterling Overdraft Account (each an “Account” and collectively the “Accounts”) with the Overdraft Line Bank in an amount that, when charged against the Account, creates an overdraft in the Account, the Overdraft Line Bank shall pay such item to the extent not subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.01(c)(i), and such payment shall be deemed an “Overdraft Loan”. Each Overdraft Loan provided hereunder shall bear

interest at the interest rate set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii). At no time shall the aggregate amount of Overdraft Loans exceed the lesser of (A) the Overdraft Line Commitment and (B) the Availability for the Multicurrency Credit Facility at such time. Overdraft Loans shall be repaid pursuant to the terms of Section 2.01(h) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

   (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), the Overdraft Line Bank shall not make any Overdraft Loan in the period commencing on the second Business Day after it receives written notice from any Multicurrency Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied, and the Overdraft Line Bank shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 hereof have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Overdraft Loan.

     (d) Notice of Borrowing in Respect of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans. When a Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.01, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent in a manner specified in Section 14.08 a signed Notice of Borrowing no later than (i) (A) 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the proposed Funding Date for such Borrowing, in the case of a proposed Borrowing of Swing Loans, (B) 3:00 p.m. (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date for such Borrowing, in the case of a proposed Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans that cannot be provided as Swing Loans and (C) 12:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date for such Borrowing, in the case of a proposed Borrowing of Domestic Loans consisting of Fixed Rate Loans or (ii) 3:00 p.m. (London time) at least four (4) Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date for such Borrowing, in the case of a proposed Borrowing of Multicurrency Loans. Any such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and, with respect to any Notice of Borrowing under clause (i)(B) above made by any Domestic Borrower, shall first constitute a request to borrow Swing Loans (other than a request for a Fixed Rate Loan); provided, however, in the event the Administrative Agent after consultation with the Swing Loan Bank determines that a Borrowing of Swing Loans is not possible or feasible, such Notice of Borrowing shall constitute a request, as of the time such Notice of Borrowing was originally submitted, by such Borrower to borrow Revolving Loans under the applicable Credit Facility; provided, further, however, all Notices of Borrowing with respect to Fixed Rate Loans shall constitute a request by such Borrower to borrow Revolving Loans under the Domestic Facility or the Multicurrency Facility, as the case may be. All Domestic Loans made under this Section 2.01 on the Closing Date shall be made initially as Floating Rate Loans and may thereafter be continued as Floating Rate Loans or converted into Fixed Rate Loans in the manner provided in Section 4.01(c). All Multicurrency Loans made under this Section 2.01 on the Closing Date shall be made initially, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, as Overdraft Loans or as Fixed Rate Loans with an Interest Period of five days. In the case of a Notice of Borrowing delivered in connection with a proposed Borrowing of Multicurrency Loans, the applicable Multicurrency Borrower shall request, within one-half hour prior to the issuance of such Notice of Borrowing, the advice of the Administrative Agent as to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Borrowing, and such Multicurrency Borrower shall specify such amount in such Notice of Borrowing; provided that such advice shall not be deemed to be a prediction or guaranty of the Dollar Equivalent of such amount after the Notice

of Borrowing is submitted and shall in no way limit the Borrowers’ Obligations under this Agreement due to fluctuations in the applicable Specified Foreign Currency; provided, further, that if any Multicurrency Borrower requests such advice from the Administrative Agent within one-half hour prior to the time that a Notice of Borrowing for Multicurrency Loans is required to be delivered hereunder and the Administrative Agent does not provide such advice prior to such time, such required delivery time shall be extended until the Administrative Agent provides such advice.

     (e) Making of Swing Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.01(d) with respect to the Borrowing of Floating Rate Loans under the Domestic Credit Facility, the Swing Loan Bank shall deposit in immediately available funds the amount it intends to fund, if any, in respect of the Domestic Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing with the Administrative Agent at its office in New York, New York not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Funding Date. The Swing Loan Bank shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Domestic Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied, and the Swing Loan Bank shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 hereof have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds of each funding of a Swing Loan available to the relevant Domestic Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s office in New York, New York on the Funding Date of the proposed Borrowing and shall disburse such proceeds to the Disbursement Account referred to in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. If the Swing Loan Bank receives a Notice of Borrowing within the applicable time limits set forth in Section 2.01(d) and does not intend to fund such requested Borrowing as a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Swing Loan Bank and the Administrative Agent are not the same Person) of such intention, and no delay by the Swing Loan Bank shall impair the applicable Domestic Borrower’s right to borrow Revolving Loans under this Section 2.01.

     (f) Making of Revolving Loans.

   (i) In the event any portion of the Loans requested in any Notice of Borrowing delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant Section 2.01(d) will be made as Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender under the applicable Credit Facility of the amount of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans. Each such Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share under such Credit Facility of the amount of such Borrowing with the Administrative Agent in the applicable Funding Account in immediately available funds and in the appropriate currency, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) with respect to Domestic Loans or 1:30 p.m. (London time) with respect to Multicurrency Loans on any Funding Date applicable thereto (or, if the Funding Date is the Closing Date, such earlier time as the Administrative Agent shall determine). Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 (solely with respect to the making of Revolving Loans on the Closing Date) and Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts received by it available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative

Agent’s office in New York, New York, with respect to Domestic Loans, or London, England, with respect to Multicurrency Loans, on such Funding Date and shall disburse such proceeds to the Disbursement Account referred to in the applicable Notice of Borrowing on such Funding Date.

   (ii) The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described in clause (i) above (or required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.01(g)) with the Administrative Agent on the applicable Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Revolving Loan on such Funding Date. No Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a Revolving Loan hereunder nor shall the Domestic Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any such failure.

   (iii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) with respect to Domestic Loans or 2:00 p.m. (London time) with respect to Multicurrency Loans, on any applicable Funding Date in respect of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans that such Lender does not intend to fund its Loan requested to be made on such Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has funded its Revolving Loan and is depositing the proceeds thereof in the applicable Funding Account on the Funding Date, and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, disburse a corresponding amount to the applicable Borrower on the Funding Date. If the Revolving Loan proceeds corresponding to that amount are advanced to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent but are not in fact deposited with the Administrative Agent by such Lender on or prior to the applicable Funding Date, such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition such Borrower agrees to repay, to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed to or for the benefit of such Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the corresponding amount, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan, and if both such Lender and such Borrower shall pay and repay such corresponding amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Borrower such corresponding amount (together with any interest included in such payment). This Section 2.01(f)(iii) does not relieve any Lender of its obligation to make its Revolving Loan on any Funding Date.

   (iv) Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Multicurrency Lender shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing of Multicurrency Loans, notify the Administrative Agent that such Lender is not satisfied that deposits in the relevant Specified Foreign Currency will be freely available to it in the relevant amount and, if applicable, for the relevant Interest Period, the right of the Multicurrency Borrowers to request Multicurrency Loans in such Specified Foreign Currency from such Lender or any subsequent Borrowing of Multicurrency Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and, at the option of any Multicurrency Borrower, the Multicurrency Loan to be made by such Lender (and

the Multicurrency Loan to be made by such Lender as part of any subsequent Borrowing of Multicurrency Loans in respect of which such Specified Foreign Currency shall have been requested during such period of suspension) shall be denominated in any other Specified Foreign Currency requested on the same Business Day which is available, and having an Interest Period coextensive with the Interest Period in effect in respect of all other Multicurrency Loans comprising a part of such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall, upon becoming aware that the circumstances causing any such suspension no longer apply, promptly so notify the Multicurrency Borrowers, provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to so notify the Multicurrency Borrowers shall not impair the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.01(f)(iv) or expose the Administrative Agent to any liability.

     (g) Settlement of Swing Loans.

   (i) The Administrative Agent shall from time to time, in its sole discretion, notify each Domestic Lender by 12:00 p.m. (New York time), of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such notice (each such Business Day being a “Swing Loan Settlement Date”). Upon such notice, each Domestic Lender shall deposit in the applicable Funding Account in Dollars an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share under the Domestic Credit Facility of the amount of such principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding in immediately available funds, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such notice. Upon such payment, each Domestic Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers in such amount (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5.02). Each Domestic Lender hereby agrees that its obligations under this Section 2.01(g) are irrevocable and unconditional (except with respect to Swing Loans made in contravention of the second sentence of Section 2.01(e)) notwithstanding (A) the nonconformity of the amount of the Loan with the minimum amounts (and increments thereof) otherwise required hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.02 are then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (D) the date of such Borrowing, (E) the amount of the Domestic Borrowing Base, Multicurrency Borrowing Base, Total Borrowing Base and Commitment at such time. In the event that any such Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of any Borrower), each Domestic Lender (other than the Swing Loan Bank) hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swing Loan Bank (without recourse or warranty) such assignment of the outstanding Swing Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Domestic Lenders to share in such Swing Loans ratably based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided, that all interest payable on the Swing Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Loan Bank until the date the respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be payable to the Domestic Lender purchasing the same from and after such date of purchase.

   (ii) If and to the extent any Domestic Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent on any Swing Loan Settlement Date with respect to the Domestic Credit Facility any amount payable by such Domestic Lender on such Swing Loan Settlement Date pursuant to this Section 2.01(g) or Section 2.01(h), such Domestic Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount in Dollars together with interest thereon, for each day from such Swing Loan Settlement Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Loans denominated in such currency hereunder.

     (h) Settlement of Overdraft Loans.

   (i) The Administrative Agent shall from time to time, in its sole discretion (but in no event less frequently than every five (5) Business Days), notify the Multicurrency Lender by 3:00 p.m. (London time), of the aggregate principal amount of Overdraft Loans outstanding as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such notice. Upon such notice, the Multicurrency Lender shall deposit in its Funding Account in the appropriate Specified Foreign Currency an amount equal to the amount of such principal amount of Overdraft Loans outstanding in immediately available funds, not later than 4:00 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day following such notice (such Business Day being an “Overdraft Settlement Date”). Upon such payment, the Multicurrency Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan denominated in the applicable Specified Foreign Currency to the Multicurrency Borrowers in such amount (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5.02). The Multicurrency Lender hereby agrees that its obligations under this Section 2.01(h) are irrevocable and unconditional (except with respect to Overdraft Loans made in contravention of the second sentence of Section 2.01(c)(ii)) notwithstanding (A) the nonconformity of the amount of the Loan with the minimum amounts (and increments thereof) otherwise required hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.02 are then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (D) the date of such Borrowing, (E) the amount of the Domestic Borrowing Base, Multicurrency Borrowing Base, and Total Borrowing Base or Commitment at such time. In the event that any such Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of any Borrower), the Multicurrency Lender (other than the Overdraft Line Bank) hereby agrees that upon the request of the Overdraft Line Bank it shall forthwith purchase from the Overdraft Line Bank (without recourse or warranty) all of the outstanding Overdraft Loans; provided, that all interest payable on the Overdraft Loans shall be for the account of the Overdraft Line Bank until the date the respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be payable to the Multicurrency Lender purchasing the same from and after such date of purchase.

   (ii) If and to the extent the Multicurrency Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent on any Overdraft Settlement Date with respect to the Multicurrency Credit Facility any amount payable by the Multicurrency Lender on such Overdraft Settlement Date pursuant to this Section 2.01(h), the Multicurrency Lender

agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount in the applicable currency together with interest thereon, for each day from such Overdraft Settlement Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Loans denominated in such currency hereunder.

     (i) Use of Proceeds. Proceeds of Domestic Loans and of Swing Loans under the Domestic Facility shall be used to (i) retire the Domestic Borrowers’ Refinanced Indebtedness; (ii) provide for ongoing working capital needs in the ordinary course of the business of Domestic Borrowers and their Subsidiaries; and (iii) for other lawful general corporate purposes not prohibited hereunder (including Capital Expenditures permitted hereunder). Proceeds of Multicurrency Loans and of Overdraft Loans under the Multicurrency Facility shall be used to (x) retire the Multicurrency Borrowers’ Refinanced Indebtedness; (y) provide for ongoing working capital needs in the ordinary course of the business of each Multicurrency Borrower and its Subsidiaries; and (z) for other lawful general corporate purposes not prohibited hereunder (including Capital Expenditures permitted hereunder). Proceeds of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and Overdraft Loans may also be used to pay for transaction expenses incurred in connection herewith.

     (j) Termination Date. The Commitments shall terminate, and all outstanding Obligations shall be Paid In Full, on the Termination Date.

     2.02. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (x) each Issuing Bank hereby severally agrees to Issue for the account of any Domestic Borrower one or more Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, up to an aggregate face amount at any one time outstanding for all Domestic Borrowers equal to the Letter of Credit Sublimit of the Domestic Facility and (y) each Issuing Bank hereby severally agrees to Issue for the account of the Multicurrency Borrowers one or more Letters of Credit denominated in a Specified Foreign Currency, up to an aggregate face amount at any one time outstanding for the Multicurrency Borrowers equal to the Letter of Credit Sublimit of the Multicurrency Facility, subject, in each case, to the following provisions:

     (a) Types and Amounts. An Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to Issue, and shall not, except as otherwise agreed by the Requisite Lenders and Issuing Bank (except with respect to any notification received by an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(ii)(A), which shall require the agreement of all of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank), Issue any Letter of Credit at any time:

   (i) if the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Issuing Bank, after giving effect to the Issuance of the Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon such Issuing Bank;

   (ii) if the Issuing Bank receives notice (A) from the Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York or London time, as applicable, with respect to a Letter of Credit Issued under the Domestic Facility or the Multicurrency Facility, respectively) on the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit that, immediately after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Credit Facility Outstandings in respect of the Domestic Facility or the Multicurrency Facility, as applicable, at such time would

exceed the Maximum Credit Amount for such Credit Facility or (B) from any of the Lenders at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York or London time, as applicable, with respect to a Letter of Credit Issued under the Domestic Facility or the Multicurrency Facility, respectively) on the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Sections 5.01 (solely with respect to an Issuance of a Letter of Credit on the Closing Date) and 5.02 would not on such date be satisfied (or waived pursuant to Section 14.07), unless such conditions are thereafter satisfied or waived and notice of such satisfaction or waiver is given to the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent (and an Issuing Bank shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.01 or 5.02, as applicable, have been satisfied or waived);

   (iii) which has an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) the date one (1) year after the date of Issuance or (B) the Business Day next preceding the Termination Date; provided, that a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date later than the Business Day next preceding the Termination Date or any date within one year after the Issuance date therefor so long as, with respect to any Letter of Credit that would expire after the Termination Date, the Borrowers, at least five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, satisfy the Letter of Credit Cash Collateralization Conditions in respect of such Letter of Credit; provided, further, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit which remains outstanding following the Termination Date, no such amount posted as collateral in respect of any such Letter of Credit shall be returned to the Borrowers until such Letter of Credit has expired or been replaced or all Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit have been paid in full or terminated.

   (iv) which is in a currency other than (A) a Dollars with respect to Letters of Credit requested by the Domestic Borrowers and (B) a Specified Foreign Currency with respect to Letters of Credit requested by the Multicurrency Borrowers;

   (v) the Issuance and terms of which is governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, England or any other jurisdiction which is approved by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank; or

   (vi) of which the date of Issuance is less than eleven (11) Business Days before the Termination Date.

     (b) Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Sections 5.01 (solely with respect to an Issuance of a Letter of Credit on the Closing Date) and 5.02, the obligation of an Issuing Bank to Issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

   (i) if the Issuing Bank so requests, the applicable Borrower shall have executed and delivered to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and materials as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof; and

   (ii) the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall conform to the customary terms of letters of credit issued by the Issuing Bank.

     (c) Issuance of Letters of Credit.

   (i) A Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in a manner specified in Section 14.08 a signed Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York or London time, as applicable with respect to a Letter of Credit issued under the Domestic Facility or the Multicurrency Facility, respectively) on the third Business Day preceding the requested date for Issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. Such notice shall be irrevocable. In the case of a Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance requesting the Issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Specified Foreign Currency, the relevant Multicurrency Borrower shall request, within one-half hour prior to the issuance of such Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance, the advice of the Administrative Agent as to the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit, and such Multicurrency Borrower shall specify such amount in such Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance; provided that such advice shall not be deemed to be a prediction or guaranty of the Dollar Equivalent of such amount after the Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance is submitted and shall in no way limit the Borrowers’ Obligations under this Agreement or, if applicable, any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement due to fluctuations in the applicable Specified Foreign Currency; provided, further, that if the relevant Multicurrency Borrower requests such advice from the Administrative Agent within one-half hour prior to the time that a Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance is required to be delivered hereunder and the Administrative Agent does not provide such advice prior to such time, such required delivery time shall be extended until the Administrative Agent provides such advice.

   (ii) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the Issuance of a Letter of Credit.

     (d) Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.

   (i) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement:

(A) each Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit has been Issued agrees to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in the applicable currency for amounts drawn under such Letter of Credit pursuant to subsection (e)(ii) below, no later than the date (the “Reimbursement Date”) which is one (1) Business Day after such Borrower receives written notice from the Issuing Bank that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank;

(B) all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit Issued under the Domestic Credit Facility shall bear interest at the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, from the date of the relevant drawing under

such Letter of Credit until the Reimbursement Date and thereafter at the rate applicable in accordance with Section 4.01(d); and

(C) all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit Issued under the Multicurrency Credit Facility shall bear interest at the Overdraft Rate plus the Overdraft Rate Margin, from the date of the relevant drawing under such Letter of Credit until the Reimbursement Date and thereafter at the rate applicable in accordance with Section 4.01(d).

   (ii) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit and the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Borrowers on account of a Reimbursement Obligation.

   (iii) No action taken or omitted in good faith by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit (except for any such action resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank) shall put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender, any Borrower or, so long as such Letter of Credit is not Issued in violation of Section 2.02(a), relieve any Lender of its obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the respective Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Lenders or any Borrower other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under a respective Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered by the appropriate Person and that they appear on their face to comply with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

     (e) Participations.

   (i) Immediately upon Issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit under the Domestic Facility or the Multicurrency Facility, as applicable, for the account of any Borrower under such Credit Facility in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02, each Lender holding a Commitment in such Credit Facility shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from that Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share under the Credit Facility, including, without limitation, all obligations of such Borrower with respect thereto (other than amounts owing to the Issuing Bank under Section 2.02(g)) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

   (ii) If the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit for the account of any Borrower and such Borrower does not repay such amount to the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall (unless the notice described in Section 2.03(b) has been given) notify the Swing Loan Bank (with respect to any Domestic Borrower) or the Overdraft Line Bank (with respect to the Multicurrency Borrowers), and if the Swing Loan Bank or Overdraft Line Bank, as applicable, so elects, a Swing Loan under the Domestic Credit Facility or an Overdraft Loan under the Multicurrency Facility, as applicable, can be made in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be paid to the

Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such proceeds to the Issuing Bank. In the event such Issuing Bank cannot be so paid from proceeds of a Swing Loan or an Overdraft Loan, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender under such Credit Facility, and each such Lender shall, unless the notice described in Section 2.03(b) has been given, promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the amount in the relevant Optional Currency of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share under the applicable Credit Facility of the payment made by such Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank such amounts received by it. In the event such payments are made by such Lenders, such payments shall constitute Revolving Loans made to the applicable Borrower under the applicable Credit Facility pursuant to Section 2.01 (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5.02). If a Lender does not make its Pro Rata Share under the applicable Credit Facility of the amount of any such payment available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon, at the interest rate then applicable in accordance with Section 4.01. The failure of any such Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share under the applicable Credit Facility of any such payment shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share under the applicable Credit Facility of any payment on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. This Section does not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to pay or repay any Lender funding its Pro Rata Share of such payment pursuant to this Section interest on the amount of such payment from such date such payment is to be made until the date on which payment is repaid in full.

   (iii) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which the Swing Loan Bank has made a Swing Loan, the Overdraft Line Bank has made an Overdraft Loan or any Lender has made a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.02(e)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent such payment in accordance with Section 3.02.

   (iv) Upon the request of any Lender under the applicable Credit Facility, an Issuing Bank shall furnish such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as reasonably may be requested by such Lender.

described in Sections 5.01 and 5.02) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents;

(B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith, with any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

(C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

  (i) Each Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit has been Issued unconditionally agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing Bank under or in connection with such Letter of Credit when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank or any other Person.

  (ii) In the event any payment by a Borrower received by an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit Issued for the account of such Borrower and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders under the applicable Credit Facility on account of their participation is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from such Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, each such Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by such Issuing Bank, contribute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share under such Credit Facility of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by such Issuing Bank upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

     (g) Issuing Bank Fees and Charges. Each Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit has been Issued agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, solely for its own account, (i) a fronting fee in an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) on the face amount of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) the standard charges assessed by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, administration, amendment and payment or cancellation of such Letter of Credit.

genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and Issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity, legality 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; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any litigation, proceeding or charges with respect to such Letter of Credit; and (I) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders; except in the cases of clauses (A) (with respect to form only), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (H) and (I) above, for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     (j) Obligations Several. The obligations of each Issuing Bank and each Domestic Lender under this Section 2.02 are several and not joint, and no Issuing Bank or Domestic Lender shall be responsible for the obligation to Issue Letters of Credit or participation obligation hereunder, respectively, of any other Issuing Bank or Domestic Lender.

     2.03. Participations in Multicurrency Facility.

     (a) Each Domestic Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Multicurrency Lender an unfunded participation in the Credit Facility Outstandings of the Multicurrency Lender under the Multicurrency Facility, including without limitation (A) the Multicurrency Loans, (B) the participations purchased by the Multicurrency Lender in the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(e), (C) the Loans made or required to be made pursuant to Section 2.01(h), and (D) amounts in respect of Protective Advances under the Multicurrency Facility required to be paid under Section 12.09(a). In each case, each Lender’s participation shall be equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; provided, that no participation shall result in (x) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Credit Facility Outstandings under the Domestic Facility exceeding its Domestic Commitment (without giving effect to its required Multicurrency Facility participation obligation hereunder) and (y) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Credit Facility Outstandings under the Domestic Facility and the Multicurrency Facility exceeding the amount set forth in Schedule 1.01.1 hereto opposite such Domestic Lender’s name under the heading “Domestic Commitment plus Additional Multicurrency Participation Obligation”.

     (b) By 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.02(a), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Domestic Lender of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Protective Advances of the

Multicurrency Lender (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) to be purchased by each applicable Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(a) as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such notice (each such Business Day being the “Participation Settlement Date”), such amount being stated in the Optional Currency in which the Credit Facility Outstandings being purchased are denominated (or the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (plus reasonable foreign exchange costs to the extent not reimbursed by the Multicurrency Borrowers as required under Section 3.02(a)) as necessary (the “Participation Amount”). Each Domestic Lender shall, not later than 3:00 p.m. New York time, on the first Business Day following the date of such notice, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable Lender (in the case of Loans), the Issuing Bank (in the case of Reimbursement Obligations) and/or the Administrative Agent (in the case of Protective Advances), in immediately available funds, the applicable Participation Amount, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Holder, that portion of the Participation Amount owing to such Holder (less such foreign exchange costs) received by the Administrative Agent.

     (c) Each Lender hereby agrees that its obligations under this Section 2.03 are irrevocable and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions described in Sections 5.01 and 5.02) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

   (i) any lack of validity or enforceability hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents;

   (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions;

   (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party;

   (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower, Borrower Subsidiary, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender;

   (v) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

   (vi) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default; or

   (vii) any other circumstance, happening, or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

     (d) If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent on the Participation Settlement Date any amount payable by such Lender on the Participation Settlement Date pursuant to this Section 2.03, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount in the applicable currency together

with interest thereon, for each day from the Participation Settlement Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, for three (3) Business Days at the Interbank Rate and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to the Loans denominated in such currency hereunder. The failure of any such Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Holder its Participation Amount shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Holder such other Lender’s Participation Amount on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to pay its Participation Amount to the Administrative Agent. This Section does not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to pay or repay any Lender funding pursuant to this Section interest on the amount of such payment from such date such payment is to be made until the date on which payment is repaid in full.

     2.04. Evidence of Indebtedness. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan which is made to it and other Obligations owing by it (whether or not evidenced by a Note), and further agrees to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms hereof and, to the extent evidenced thereby, of the Notes. On the Closing Date, (a) the Domestic Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Domestic Lender Domestic Loan Notes in a principal amount equal to the maximum amount of such Lender’s Domestic Commitment evidencing the Loans to such Borrowers made under the Domestic Facility, (b) the Multicurrency Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Multicurrency Lender Multicurrency Loan Notes in a principal amount equal to the maximum amount of the Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment evidencing the Loans to such Borrowers made under the Multicurrency Facility, and (c) the Domestic Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Swing Loan Bank a Swing Loan Note in a principal amount equal to the Maximum Swing Loan Amount. Thereafter each Borrower, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such other promissory notes substantially in the form of the Notes issued on the Closing Date as are necessary to evidence the Loans owing to the applicable Lenders after giving effect to any assignment thereof pursuant to Section 14.01, all in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the parties to such assignment, provided that the promissory notes being replaced are returned to such Borrower or other arrangements satisfactory to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent are made. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender under each Credit Facility in which it is a Lender resulting from each Loan made under such Credit Facility owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under each of the Notes.

     2.05. Authorized Officers and Administrative Agents. On the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of the officers, employees and agents authorized to request Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, Overdraft Loans and Letters of Credit and containing a specimen signature of each such officer, employee or agent. The officers, employees and agents so authorized shall also be authorized to act for the Borrowers in respect of all other matters relating to the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such officer’s or employee’s authority to request such Loan or Letter of Credit until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative

Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any written notice sent to it by telecopy. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on, or any telecopy or facsimile of, any written Notice of Borrowing or any other document, and, with respect to an oral request for such a Loan or Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to verify the identity of any person representing himself or herself as one of the officers, employees or agents authorized to make such request or otherwise to act on behalf of the Borrowers. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall incur any liability to the Borrowers or any other Person in acting upon any telecopy or facsimile or telephonic notice referred to above which the Administrative Agent reasonably believes to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of the Borrowers.

     2.06. Booking of Loans and Letters of Credit. Any Lender and any Issuing Bank may make, carry or transfer Loans or Issue Letters of Credit at, to or for the account of its Fixed Rate Lending Office or Fixed Rate Affiliate or its other offices or Affiliates (without complying with the requirements of Section 13.01). No Lender shall be entitled, however, to receive any greater amount under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 4.01(f) or 4.02(e) as a result of the transfer of any such Loan or Letter of Credit to any office (other than such Fixed Rate Lending Office) or any Affiliate (other than such Fixed Rate Affiliate) than such Lender or Issuing Bank would have been entitled to receive immediately prior thereto, unless, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, provides reasonably satisfactory evidence to the Company that (i) the transfer occurred at a time when circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater amount did not exist and (ii) such claim in the relevant amount would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred. No Fixed Rate Affiliate or such other Affiliate of any Lender or Issuing Bank shall, in its capacity as such, be deemed a party hereto or have any liability or obligation hereunder.

If a Domestic Lender funds its participation interest in any Multicurrency Loan in Dollars after the acceleration of the Obligations as contemplated in Section 2.03, and additional amounts are required to be remitted to the Multicurrency Lender as a result of foreign exchange costs (such as the conversion of Dollars into the Optional Currency in which the participation in Credit Facility Outstandings being purchased is denominated), then the Multicurrency Borrowers, on the date such participation is funded by such Domestic Lender, shall pay to the Multicurrency Lender such additional amounts.

     (b) Apportionment of Payments.

   (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02(b)(ii) and (iv), except as otherwise provided herein (A) all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Revolving Loans under any Credit Facility, and all payments in respect of Reimbursement Obligations under any Credit Facility, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuing Bank as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Credit Facility and (B) all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuing Bank as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the applicable Credit Facility (if such Obligation relates to such Credit Facility) or otherwise in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of all the Credit Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, prior to the date on which the Domestic Lenders fund their participation interests in Credit Facility Outstandings under the Multicurrency Facility, interest on Multicurrency Loans shall be apportioned as follows in consideration for the participation therein: the Domestic Lenders shall receive that portion of interest equal to the margin component thereof (such as the Applicable Fixed Rate Margin on Fixed Rate Loans) and the Multicurrency Lender shall receive that portion of interest equal to the Multicurrency LIBO Rate or Floating Rate, as then applicable. Subsequent to the date on which the Domestic Lenders acquire funded participation interests in the Multicurrency Facility, interest on Multicurrency Loans shall be apportioned among the Domestic Lenders based upon their Pro Rata Shares thereof with no distinction made between the Multicurrency LIBO Rate or Floating Rate, as applicable, and the margin added thereto.

   (ii) All such payments and any other proceeds of Collateral or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of a Borrower shall be

applied first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans made to such Borrower which the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or such Borrower, second, to pay principal of and interest on any Protective Advance made to such Borrower for which the Administrative Agent has not then been paid by such Borrower or reimbursed by the Lenders, third, to pay Loans of such Borrower as set forth below and to pay all other Obligations of such Borrower then due and payable and fourth, to such Borrower’s Concentration Account, or if demand under Section 11.02(b) has been made, such Borrower’s Cash Collateral Account, in each case, for the currency in which such payment is denominated, to be held as Cash Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, or if the Administrative Agent consents in its sole discretion, to a Disbursement Account designated by the applicable Borrower. Except as set forth in Sections 3.01(a) and (b) and unless otherwise designated by the Domestic Borrowers, all principal payments made by any Domestic Borrower in respect of outstanding Swing Loans or Revolving Loans of such Domestic Borrower, as the case may be, shall be applied first, to the outstanding Swing Loans and second, to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Domestic Borrower, in each case, first, to repay outstanding Floating Rate Loans, and then to repay outstanding Fixed Rate Loans with Interest Periods then expiring. Except as set forth in Sections 3.01(a) and (b) and unless otherwise designated by the Multicurrency Borrowers, all principal payments made by any Multicurrency Borrower in respect of outstanding Overdraft Loans or Revolving Loans of such Multicurrency Borrower, as the case may be, shall be applied first, to the Revolving Loans with Interest Periods then expiring and second to the outstanding Overdraft Loans, in each case, denominated in the Specified Foreign Currency of such payment.

   (iii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and shall upon the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 11.02(a), apply all payments in respect of any Domestic Obligations to the payment of the Domestic Facility, all payments in respect of any Multicurrency Obligations to the payment of the Multicurrency Facility, all proceeds of Foreign Collateral to the payment of Multicurrency Obligations, and all proceeds of Domestic Collateral to the payment of Domestic Obligations, in the following order (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to convert, at a rate of exchange equal to the Spot Rate as of such conversion date and at the Borrowers’ expense, any of such payments or proceeds of Collateral into the currency in which such Obligations are denominated):

(A) first, to pay interest on, and the principal of, any portion of the Revolving Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or a Borrower;

(B) second, to pay interest on, and then principal of, first any outstanding Protective Advance;

(C) third, to pay interest on, and the principal of, any Swing Loan or Overdraft Loan, to pay to the Multicurrency Lender any foreign exchange costs arising in connection with a Lender’s funding of its participation in a Multicurrency Loan that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers as required under Section 3.02(a), and, to the extent the Participation Amount is not funded by Lenders on or prior to the Participation Settlement Date in accordance with Section 2.03(b), to the Multicurrency Lender that portion of principal Obligations outstanding under the Multicurrency Facility so not funded;

(D) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of (1) any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent and (2) fees and expenses in respect of cash management services provided to Borrowers and their Subsidiaries by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, those described in Section 3.06(d);

(E) fifth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank;

(F) sixth, to pay interest due in respect of the Revolving Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and in respect of the Obligations arising under the Foreign Working Capital Guaranty;

(G) seventh, to pay or prepay (or, to the extent such obligations are contingent, provide Cash Collateral (pursuant to Section 11.02(b), if applicable) in respect of) all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations;

(H) eighth, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank;

(I) ninth, to pay or prepay principal outstanding on Revolving Loans and all outstanding Obligations (other than in respect of interest) arising under the Foreign Working Capital Guaranty;

(J) tenth, to the ratable payment of (or, to the extent such obligations are contingent, provide Cash Collateral (in a manner described in Section 11.02(b), if applicable) Obligations in respect of (1) Interest Rate Contracts permitted hereunder to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof is a party and (2) foreign exchange services (including Currency Agreements) permitted hereunder provided to any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof;

(K) eleventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations; and

(L) twelfth, as the applicable Borrower so designates;

provided, however, if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of the foregoing clauses (A) through

(K), the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligations referred to in any one of such clauses (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank further agree and acknowledge that (x) in no event shall proceeds of any Foreign Collateral, more than sixty-five percent (65.0%) of the Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary or amounts received from any Foreign Credit Party as described herein be applied on any of the Domestic Obligations, and (y) no application of Domestic Collateral or payments with respect to the Multicurrency Borrower Guaranty may be made to the Multicurrency Obligations until such time as the aggregate outstanding Obligations owing to each Lender (and its Affiliates) are in proportion to (or as near thereto as is reasonably practicable) the outstanding Obligations owing to each other Lender (and its Affiliates), in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of all Credit Facilities. The order of priority set forth in this Section 3.02(b)(ii) and the related provisions hereof are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and other Holders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (A) through (K) of this Section 3.02(b)(ii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of all Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by any Borrower, any Holder which is not a Lender or Issuing Bank, or any other Person; provided, however, the order of priority set forth in clauses (A) through (D) of this Section 3.02(b)(ii) may not be changed without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

     (iv) The Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion subject only to the terms of this Section 3.02(b)(iii), may pay from the proceeds of Revolving Loans made under the applicable Credit Facility (which Loans may not have been requested by a Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing) made to a Borrower hereunder, whether made following a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.02 or a deemed request as provided in this Section 3.02(b)(iii), all amounts then due and payable by any Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts payable with respect to payments of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees and all reimbursements for expenses pursuant to Section 14.02. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Bank (with respect to the Domestic Borrowers only), the Overdraft Line Bank (with respect to the Multicurrency Borrowers only) and the Lenders to make Swing Loans, Overdraft Loans or Revolving Loans in the appropriate Optional Currency, which Loans other than the Overdraft Loans shall be Floating Rate Loans upon notice from the Administrative Agent as described in the following sentence for the purpose of paying principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees due from any Borrower, reimbursing expenses pursuant to Section 14.02 or any other Loan Document and paying any and all other amounts due and payable by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, and agrees that all such Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it pursuant to Section 2.01 and 2.02 as of the date of the aforementioned notice. The Administrative Agent shall request Swing Loans, Overdraft Loans or Revolving Loans on behalf of a Borrower as described in the preceding sentence by notifying the Lenders under the applicable Credit Facility by telex, telecopy, telegram or other similar form of transmission (which notice the Administrative

Agent shall thereafter promptly transmit to such Borrower), of the amount and Funding Date of the proposed Borrowing and that such Borrowing is being requested on such Borrower’s behalf pursuant to this Section 3.02(b)(iii). On the proposed Funding Date, the Swing Loan Bank, Overdraft Line Bank or Lenders under the relevant Credit Facility, as the case may be, shall make the requested Loans in accordance with the procedures and subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.01 or 2.02 (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 5.02 or the requirement to deliver a Notice of Borrowing in Section 2.01(d), which conditions and requirements, for the purposes of the payment of Swing Loans, Overdraft Loans and Revolving Loans at the request of the Administrative Agent as described in the preceding sentence, the Lenders irrevocably waive). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Overdraft Loans shall also be made at the direct request of the Multicurrency Borrowers by notice to the Overdraft Line Bank in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i).

     (v) If any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan Borrowing requested by a Borrower under any Credit Facility, which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms hereof or any Revolving Loan or other amount required to be made under Section 2.01(g), 2.01(h), 2.02(e)(ii), 2.03, 3.02(b)(iii), 12.05 or 12.09(a) (the funded portion of such Revolving Loan or other amount being hereinafter referred to as a “Non Pro Rata Funding”; any such Lender being hereinafter referred to as a “Defaulting Lender”), excluding, solely in the case of Revolving Loan Borrowings requested by a Borrower, any such Lender who has delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 shall not on the date of such request be satisfied and until such conditions are satisfied, then until the earlier of such Lender’s cure of such failure and the termination of the Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent and required to be applied to such Lender’s share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof shall be advanced to the Borrower requesting such Revolving Loan Borrowing or to the applicable Holder to which such payment is owing by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:

(A) the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02(b)(iv) shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations;

(B) a Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender at such time as an amount equal to such Lender’s original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal portion of such Revolving Loan or such other amount is fully funded to the applicable Borrower, whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section 3.02(b)(iv), and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Funding with respect thereto has been repaid;

(C) amounts advanced to a Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan Borrowing (“Cure Fundings”) shall bear interest from and after the date made

available to the applicable Borrower at the rate applicable to the other Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing and shall be treated as Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing for all purposes herein;

(D) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of the Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this Section 3.02, would be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans shall be applied first, ratably to all Non Pro Rata Fundings, second, ratably to Revolving Loans or other amounts payable other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Fundings or Cure Fundings and, third, ratably to Cure Fundings; and

(E) no Lender shall be relieved of any obligation such Lender may have to the Borrower under the terms of this Agreement as a result of the provisions of this Section 3.02(b)(iv).

     (c) Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by a Borrower hereunder or under the Notes is stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day (or, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iv), the next preceding Business Day), and any such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest and fees hereunder.

     3.03. Pro Rata Shares Adjustment. In the event the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders under a Credit Facility are altered after giving effect to any Commitment Reallocation Request, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Commitments made pursuant to Section 3.01(a), after giving effect to any mandatory reduction of the Commitments made pursuant to Section 3.02(b) or after giving effect to any participation under Section 2.03, the Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares have increased as a result shall effect such purchases of Loans from the other Domestic Lenders or the Multicurrency Lender, as applicable, on the next Swing Loan Settlement Date (with respect to the Domestic Lenders) and on the next Overdraft Loan Settlement Date (with respect to the Multicurrency Lender) such that after giving effect to such purchases each Lender is owed Loans in an amount equal to its adjusted Pro Rata Share of the Credit Facility Outstandings outstanding in respect of the applicable Credit Facility.

     3.04. Taxes.

     (a) Payment of Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and all stamp or documentary taxes, excise taxes, ad valorem taxes and other taxes imposed on the value of the Property, charges or levies which arise from the execution, delivery or registration, or from payment or performance under, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or the Commitments and all other liabilities with respect thereto excluding, in the case of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, capital, receipts, property, profits or gains and franchise taxes imposed on it by (i) the United States, except certain withholding taxes contemplated pursuant to Section 3.04(d)(ii)(C), (ii) the Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) in

which any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is located, (iii) the Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized, managed and controlled or any political subdivision thereof, (iv) any political subdivision of the United States, unless such taxes are imposed solely as a result of such Lender’s performance of any of the Loan Documents in such political subdivision and such Lender would not otherwise be subject to tax by such political subdivision, or (v) the United Kingdom, except any deduction or withholding from any payment by a Borrower for or on account of any tax in respect of any payments made hereunder or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations to the Administrative Agent or otherwise on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank arising (A) in respect of any Participation Amount (provided that each Lender shall, where possible, make all reasonable efforts to enable the relevant Borrower to make any such payment free of United Kingdom withholding tax) or (B) by reason of a change in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law of the United Kingdom or any applicable tax treaty or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority after the later of the Closing Date or the date on which such Lender became a Lender or such Issuing Bank became an Issuing Bank (such non-excluded United Kingdom taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Included UK Withholding Taxes”) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”); provided, however, that neither withholding taxes contemplated pursuant to Section 3.04(d)(ii)(C) nor Included UK Withholding Taxes shall be excluded from Taxes by reason of the application of clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this sentence to any Applicable Lending Office of a Lender or to any Lender, respectively. If a Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, (x) the sum payable to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required withholding or deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.04) such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (y) such Borrower shall make such withholding or deductions, and (z) such Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) Indemnification. (i) The Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Domestic Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, and (ii) the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Multicurrency Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, against, and reimburse each on demand for, the full amount of all Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 3.04 and any additional income or franchise taxes resulting therefrom) incurred or paid by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be but only to the extent relating to the applicable Credit Facility) or any of their respective Affiliates and any liability (including penalties, interest, and out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were lawfully payable (other than any liability that results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent), and whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any Person under

this Section 3.04 submitted by it to any Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank agrees (i) within a reasonable time after receiving a written request from any Borrower, to provide such Borrower and the Administrative Agent with such certificates as are reasonably required, and (ii) take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to claim such exemptions as such Lender, the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank or Affiliate may be entitled to claim in respect of all or a portion of any Taxes which are otherwise required to be paid or deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 3.04 in respect of any payments under this Agreement or under the Notes. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes for which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has received payment from a Borrower hereunder, it shall promptly apply such refund (including any interest received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the taxing authority with respect to the refund with respect to such Taxes) to the Obligations of such Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent; provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to reimburse such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. Each Multicurrency Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay and indemnify the Multicurrency Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent against any cost, loss or liability that such Person incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document. Each Domestic Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay and indemnify each Domestic Lender, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent against any cost, loss or liability that such Person incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document. Each Domestic Borrower jointly and severally agrees, and each Multicurrency Borrower jointly and severally agrees, to pay promptly any stamp duty (and any interest or penalty in connection therewith) which is payable on any Receivables Sale Agreement (or any document executed in connection therewith) if it becomes reasonably necessary that the UK Borrower prove its entitlement to Receivables which are the subject of the relevant Receivables Sale Agreement and the payment of such stamp duty is reasonably necessary in order to do so.

     (c) Receipts. Within sixty (60) days after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.04 by any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries, the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent at its request, at its notice address in effect under Section 14.08, a copy of a receipt, if any, or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, evidencing payment thereof. The Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, within sixty (60) days after the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, a certificate of a Financial Officer stating that all Taxes of which they have Knowledge are due have been paid.

     (d) Non-Domestic Bank Certifications.

   (i) Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on the date such Lender becomes a Lender or such Issuing Bank becomes an Issuing Bank, (i) a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a

duly authorized officer of such Lender or Issuing Bank to the effect that such Lender or Issuing Bank is eligible to receive all payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax and (ii) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8 (or any successor forms, including IRS Form W-8 BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI). If a Lender or an Issuing Bank is unable to deliver the certificate and forms described in, and on the dates required by, the preceding sentence, then the applicable Borrower shall withhold the applicable tax and shall have no indemnification obligation with respect to such withholding tax.

   (ii) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank further agrees to promptly deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent from time to time, subsequent to delivery of the certification referred to in Section 3.04(d)(i), a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender or such Issuing Bank before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.04(d) (including, but not limited to, a change in such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s Applicable Lending Office). Each certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(ii) shall certify as to one of the following:

(A) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank can continue to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax;

(B) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank cannot continue to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax as specified therein but does not require additional payments pursuant to Section 3.04(a) because it is entitled to recover the full amount of any such deduction or withholding from a source other than the Borrowers;

(C) that such Lender or Issuing Bank is no longer capable of receiving payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax as specified therein solely by reason of a change in law (including the Internal Revenue Code or applicable tax treaty) after the later of the Closing Date or the date on which such Lender became a Lender or such Issuing Bank became an Issuing Bank and that it is not capable of recovering the full amount of the same from a source other than the Borrowers; or

(D) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank is no longer capable of receiving payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax as specified therein other than by reason of a change in law (including the Internal Revenue Code or applicable tax treaty) after the later of the Closing Date or the date on which such Lender became a Lender or such Issuing Bank became an Issuing Bank.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to deliver to the Borrowers under the applicable Credit Facility and the Administrative Agent further duly completed copies of the above-mentioned IRS forms on or before the earlier of (x) the date that any such form

expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from withholding from United States federal income tax and (y) fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, unless any change in treaty, law, regulation or official interpretation thereof which would render such form inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering such form has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required and the Lender or the Issuing Bank promptly advises the Borrowers that it is not capable of receiving payments hereunder or under the Notes without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

     (e) The UK Borrower shall take all steps as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank to enable the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank to comply with certification or other procedures requisite to obtaining any available benefits under the tax treaty then in effect between the United Kingdom and the United States (or other applicable jurisdiction) with respect to any payment hereunder or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations, including (without limitation) providing information to the UK Borrower’s local tax office, and shall take such steps as soon as reasonably possible (having regard to the consequences of any delay).

     3.05. Increased Capital. If after the date hereof any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that (i) the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any Lender, Issuing Bank or banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), compliance with which affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank and (ii) the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon (A) the making or maintenance by any Lender of its Loans, any Lender’s participation in or obligation to participate in the Loans, Letters of Credit or other advances made hereunder or the existence of any Lender’s obligation to make Loans or (B) the issuance or maintenance by the Issuing Bank of, or the existence of the Issuing Bank’s obligation to Issue, Letters of Credit, then, in any such case, upon written demand by (x) such Domestic Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Domestic Borrowers, or (y) the Multicurrency Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree immediately to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by such Lender or Issuing Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such corporation therefor; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05 for any increased capital costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Issuing Bank or Lender notifies the applicable Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased capital cost and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further, however, that such 180-day limitation shall not apply to any cost that is applicable retroactively so long as the applicable Lender notifies the Borrowers of such cost within 180 days of a responsible officer of such Lender receiving actual knowledge thereof. Such demand shall be

accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a summary of the basis for such demand with detailed calculations. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, in the absence of manifest error.

     3.06. Cash Management and Concentration Accounts.

     (a) Establishment of Accounts. On the Closing Date, the Credit Parties shall have established the Bank Accounts identified on Schedule 6.01-Z. After the Closing Date, the Borrowers agree to establish, and cause the Credit Parties or such other Subsidiaries who are agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to establish, such other Bank Accounts as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and Schedule 6.01-Z shall be updated accordingly. After any such Bank Account is established, the Borrowers or such Subsidiaries may change the Bank Accounts or add to the Bank Accounts listed on Schedule 6.01-Z as their needs may require and agree to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any such changes (such schedule being deemed to be amended by any such notice); provided, however, no Credit Party shall:

   (i) change any Bank Account other than a Disbursement Account (except as contemplated above) or establish any new Bank Account other than a Disbursement Account with any bank which is not acceptable to the Administrative Agent and which, in the case of a Collection Account to be maintained at such bank, has not executed a Collection Account Agreement with respect to such Collection Account, or

   (ii) establish any other Bank Account other than a Disbursement Account, or modify any arrangement with respect to any other existing Bank Account other than a Disbursement Account, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent.

     (b) Collections. Each Credit Party, (i) has directed, and in the future will direct, all of its account debtors to remit all monies, checks, notes, drafts or funds received by it, including, without limitation, all payments in respect of Receivables, all other proceeds of Collateral, and all Net Cash Proceeds (the “Collections”) directly to a Lockbox or Collection Account (or in accordance with other arrangements approved by the Administrative Agent), or (ii) to the extent that the account debtors of such Credit Party, notwithstanding the instructions described in clause (i) above, remit such Collections directly to such Credit Party, each Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause each Credit Party to, deposit all such Collections into a Collection Account promptly upon such Person’s receipt thereof. The Borrowers agree to cause all Collections now or hereafter received directly or indirectly by any Borrower or any such Credit Party or any agent thereof or in the possession of any Borrower or any Credit Party or any agent thereof to be held in trust for, or, in the case of Collections received by any Foreign Credit Party, on trust for (or as otherwise provided in the relevant Foreign Security Agreements relating thereto) the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt thereof, to be deposited into a Collection Account. The contents of each Lockbox shall automatically be deposited into a Collection Account or be emptied and deposited into a Collection Account by a representative of the Collection Account Bank at which the applicable Collection Account has been established. Only the Administrative Agent and the applicable Collection Account Bank, if any, shall have

power of withdrawal from each Lockbox and the related Collection Account.

     (c) Concentration Accounts; Cash Collateral Accounts. All immediately available funds, or as otherwise provided in any Collection Account Agreement with respect to low volume Collection Accounts, in any Collection Account (w) of any Domestic Borrower shall be automatically transferred (either directly or indirectly) into the Domestic Concentration Account, (x) of the Multicurrency Borrowers shall be transferred (either directly or indirectly) automatically or as otherwise provided pursuant to the applicable Collection Account Agreement and/or Multicurrency Concentration Accounts Agreements into (A) with respect to funds denominated in Sterling, the applicable Sterling Concentration Account, (B) with respect to funds denominated in Euros, the applicable Euro Concentration Account, and (C) with respect to funds denominated in Dollars, the applicable Dollars Concentration Account. Funds shall be directed in accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent to the applicable Cash Collateral Account upon a demand made pursuant to Section 11.02(b). The Domestic Concentration Account and each Domestic Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of and owned by the Administrative Agent. The Multicurrency Concentration Account and each Multicurrency Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control and subject to the first priority security interest of the Administrative Agent. The following procedures shall apply to the Domestic Concentration Account, the Multicurrency Concentration Accounts and the Cash Collateral Accounts:

   (i) Generally. Each Bank Account shall be denominated in a single currency. The Administrative Agent alone shall have power of withdrawal from the Concentration Accounts and the Cash Collateral Accounts. Subject to Sections 3.01(b)(ii), 3.01(b)(iii), 3.02(b)(ii), 3.02(b)(iii) and 11.03, (A) the Domestic Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to apply all immediately available funds on deposit in the Domestic Concentration Account and, if necessary, Domestic Cash Collateral Account to the Domestic Obligations, and (B) the Multicurrency Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to apply all immediately available funds on deposit in each Multicurrency Concentration Account and, if necessary, each Multicurrency Cash Collateral Account, to the Multicurrency Obligations denominated in the Specified Foreign Currency maintained in such Multicurrency Concentration Account and Multicurrency Cash Collateral Account. Solely with respect to the Domestic Concentration Account, to the extent any such funds remain after such application or disbursement to a Domestic Borrower pursuant to Section 3.02(b) and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Domestic Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to invest such funds in accordance with Section 3.06(c)(ii). Solely with respect to the Multicurrency Concentration Accounts, to the extent any such funds remain after such application or disbursement to a Multicurrency Borrower pursuant to Section 3.02(b) and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Multicurrency Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. (London time), convert any funds on deposit in a

Multicurrency Concentration Account into another Optional Currency and transfer such funds (less any reasonable foreign exchange costs) to another Multicurrency Concentration Account in which such other Optional Currency is maintained.

   (ii) Investments. Subject to the right of the Administrative Agent to apply and/or withdraw funds from the Domestic Concentration Account and the Domestic Cash Collateral Account as provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time invest funds (or procure the investment of such funds) on deposit in such accounts and accrued interest thereon, procure the reinvestment of proceeds of any such investments which may mature or be sold, and invest interest or other income received from any such investments, in each case in an overnight investment selected by the Administrative Agent. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Borrower for, or with respect to, any decline in value of amounts on deposit in the Domestic Concentration Account or Domestic Cash Collateral Account which shall have been invested pursuant to this Section 3.06(c)(ii) pursuant to such overnight investments selected by the Administrative Agent. All funds on deposit in the Multicurrency Concentration Accounts and Multicurrency Cash Collateral Accounts shall bear interest in accordance with the applicable account agreement.

   (iii) Additional Payments. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in any Concentration Account or Cash Collateral Account are subject to any interest, right, claim or Lien (other than Liens arising in the ordinary course of business for amounts which are not yet due and payable) of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower, the Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally (with respect to funds deposited by the Domestic Borrowers) and the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally (with respect to funds deposited by the Multicurrency Borrowers) agree that (i) forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, to pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the applicable Concentration Account or Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be, an amount equal to the amount of funds subject to such interest, right, claim or Lien or (ii) if no such payment is made, the Administrative Agent shall immediately and without requirement of notice as set forth in the definitions of Multicurrency Borrowing Base and Domestic Borrowing Base, as applicable, impose an Eligibility Reserve in the amount of such funds (unless such interest, right, claim or Lien has then been included in any Eligibility Reserve with respect to such funds or has been factored into a decreased advance rate with respect to Cash Collateral).

   (iv) Custody of Cash Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Concentration Accounts and the Cash Collateral Accounts and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own like property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to preserve rights of the Borrowers in such accounts or any amounts on deposit therein or any Investments subject thereto against third parties but may do so at its option. All expenses incurred in connection therewith

shall be for the joint and several account of the Multicurrency Borrowers with respect to any funds deposited by the Multicurrency Borrowers or the joint and several account of the Domestic Borrowers with respect to any funds deposited by the Domestic Borrowers, and, in each case, shall constitute Obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as set forth in this clause (c), none of the Borrowers or any Person or entity claiming on behalf of or through a Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Domestic Concentration Account or any Cash Collateral Account. Upon the Payment In Full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, any funds remaining in the Domestic Concentration Account or the Domestic Cash Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower or paid by the Administrative Agent to whomever may be legally entitled thereto, and in relation to funds in the Multicurrency Concentration Accounts and the Multicurrency Cash Collateral Accounts, the Administrative Agent shall release the security over such accounts and terminate any associated control rights it may have.

     (d) Fees and Expenses. With respect to fees, costs and expenses incurred (i) in respect of the Domestic Facility, the Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally agree, and (ii) in respect of the Multicurrency Facility, the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree, in each case, to pay to the Administrative Agent any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses which the Administrative Agent incurs in connection with opening and maintaining the Collection Accounts, Concentration Accounts and Cash Collateral Accounts, lockbox or other similar payment collection mechanisms for such Borrowers and depositing for collection any check or item of payment received by and/or delivered to the Collection Account Banks or the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations. With respect to the Collection Account Banks (x) for the Domestic Borrowers, the Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally agree, (y) for the Multicurrency Borrowers, the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree, in each case, to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid to any Collection Account Bank arising out of any required indemnification by the Administrative Agent of such Collection Account Bank against damages incurred by the Collection Account Bank in the operation of a Collection Account.

ARTICLE IV
INTEREST AND FEES

     4.01. Interest on the Loans and Other Obligations.

     (a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding principal balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and such other Obligations are due and payable until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(d), as follows:

   (i) If a Floating Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Floating Rate in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus the Applicable Floating Rate Margin in effect from time to time;

   (ii) If an Overdraft Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Overdraft Rate in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus the Applicable Overdraft Rate Margin in effect from time to time; and

   (iii) If a Fixed Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Fixed Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and the applicable currency, plus the Applicable Fixed Rate Margin in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on any Loan shall be initially determined in accordance with Section 2.01(d). The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such Loan shall be selected thereafter by the relevant Borrower at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Borrower may not select the Fixed Rate as the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such a Loan if at the time of such selection an Event of Default or Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing. If on any day any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then for that day interest on that Loan shall be determined by reference to the applicable Floating Rate.

     (b) Interest Payments.

   (i) Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears in the currency in which such Loan is denominated (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar month for the preceding calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Floating Rate Loan and (B) if not theretofore paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Floating Rate Loan.

   (ii) Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears in the currency in which such Loan is denominated on the last day of each Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date with respect to such Loan and (B) if not theretofore paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Fixed Rate Loan.

   (iii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears in the currency in which such Obligation is denominated (A) on the first Business Day of each month, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of such Obligation and (B) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

     (c) Conversion or Continuation.

   (i) Each Domestic Borrower shall have the option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding Floating Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) to Fixed Rate Loans or (B) to convert all or any part of its outstanding Fixed Rate Loans having Interest Periods which expire on the same date to Floating Rate Loans on such expiration date; and each Borrower shall have the option to continue all or any part of its outstanding Fixed Rate Loans having Interest Periods which expire on the same date as Fixed Rate

Loans denominated in the same currency, and the succeeding Interest Period of such continued Loans shall commence on such expiration date; provided, however, in each case, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Fixed Rate Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, such Fixed Rate Loan would violate any of the provisions of Section 4.02 or (ii) if an Event of Default or Default would occur or has occurred and is continuing. Any conversion into or continuation of Fixed Rate Loans under this Section 4.01(c) shall be in a minimum amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $7,500,000 for Domestic Loans and $5,000,000 for Multicurrency Loans and in integral Dollar Equivalent multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount (or, in the case of continuations of Multicurrency Loans, in such greater or lesser amounts as are as near to $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000, as applicable, as reasonably practicable in light of any change in the Spot Rate between the date of such continuation and the date of the Borrowing or any previous continuation thereof, as the case may be). Such minimum levels may be achieved under the Domestic Facility by combining the Loans of more than one Borrower being continued as or converted into Fixed Rate Loans with the same Interest Period so long as the minimum amount of any single Borrowing is the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000; and such minimum levels may be achieved under the Multicurrency Facility by combining the Loans of the same currency of more than one Borrower being continued as or converted into Fixed Rate Loans with the same Interest Period so long as the minimum amount of any single Borrowing is the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000.

   (ii) To convert or continue a Loan under Section 4.01(c)(i), the applicable Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date with respect to Domestic Loans and 3:00 p.m. (London time) at least four Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date with respect to Multicurrency Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under this Section 4.01(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the applicable Credit Facility by telex or telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed conversion/continuation. Any Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Loan shall be irrevocable, and the applicable Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith.

     (d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 4.01(a) or elsewhere herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, effective immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and of all other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate which is two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans and Obligations from time to time.

     (e) Computation of Interest. Interest on all Obligations shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and (i) with respect to Obligations for Sterling Loans and Overdraft Loans denominated in Sterling, a year of 365 days, and (ii) with respect to all other Obligations, a year of 360 days. In computing

interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.

     (f) Changes; Legal Restrictions. If after the date hereof any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any Lender, the Issuing Bank or over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), compliance with which, in each case after the date hereof:

   (i) subject to the provisions of Section 3.04 (which will be conclusive as to matters covered thereby), does or will subject a Lender or an Issuing Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office or Fixed Rate Affiliate) to charges (other than Taxes) of any kind which such Lender or Issuing Bank reasonably determines to be applicable to the Commitments of the Lenders and/or the Issuing Bank to make Fixed Rate Loans or Issue and/or participate in Letters of Credit or change the basis of taxation of payments to that Lender or Issuing Bank of principal, fees, interest, or any other amount payable hereunder with respect to Fixed Rate Loans or Letters of Credit; or

   (ii) does or will impose, modify, or hold applicable, in the determination of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, any reserve (other than reserves taken into account in calculating the Fixed Rate), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities (including those pertaining to Letters of Credit) in or for the account of, advances or loans by, commitments made, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, a Lender or an Issuing Bank or any Applicable Lending Office or Fixed Rate Affiliate of that Lender or Issuing Bank;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender or Issuing Bank of making, renewing or maintaining any Loans or its Commitments or issuing or participating in the Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), (x) the Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally agree promptly to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Domestic Lender or Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by such Domestic Lender or Issuing Bank, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Domestic Lender or Issuing Bank or its Fixed Rate Affiliate for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amount received in connection with the Domestic Facility and (y) the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree promptly to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Multicurrency Lender or Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified by the Multicurrency Lender or Issuing Bank, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Multicurrency Lender or Issuing Bank or its Fixed Rate Affiliate for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amount received in connection with the Multicurrency Facility; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 4.01(f) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Issuing Bank or Lender notifies the applicable Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of such Lender’s or

Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further, however, that such 180-day limitation shall not apply to any cost or reduction that is applicable retroactively to periods prior to the effective date of the applicable event so long as the applicable Lender notifies the Borrowers of such event within 180 days of a responsible officer of the Administrative Agent receiving actual knowledge thereof. Such demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     (g) Confirmation of Fixed Rate. Upon the reasonable request of any Borrower from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to such Borrower such information with respect to the applicable Fixed Rate as may be so requested.

     4.02. Special Provisions Governing Fixed Rate Loans. With respect to Fixed Rate Loans:

     (a) Determination of Interest Period. By giving notice as set forth in Section 2.01(d) (with respect to a new Borrowing of Domestic Loans or Multicurrency Loans) or Section 4.01(c) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of a Fixed Rate Loan), the applicable Borrower shall have the option, subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.02, to select an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to apply to the Loans described in such notice, subject to the following provisions:

   (i) (A) Such Domestic Borrower may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, an Interest Period of either one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months in duration and (B) such Multicurrency Borrower may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, an Interest Period of either seven (7) days, fourteen (14) days, one (1) month, two (2) months, three (3) months or six (6) months in duration;

   (ii) In the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

   (iii) If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day occurs in the same calendar month, and if there shall be no succeeding Business Day in such calendar month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

   (iv) Such Borrower may not select an Interest Period as to any Loan if such Interest Period terminates later than the Termination Date; and

   (v) There shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect at any one time.

     (b) Determination of Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on the applicable Fixed Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Fixed Rate”) the interest rate which shall apply to Fixed Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period

and currency and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the applicable Borrowers and to each Lender. The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon such Borrowers.

          (c) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that (x) in the case of Domestic Loans, at least one (1) Business Day before and (y) in the case of Multicurrency Loans, on the Fixed Rate Determination Date with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan in the relevant currency:

     (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the applicable Fixed Rate for the applicable Optional Currency then being determined is to be fixed;

     (ii) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits in such currency and in the principal amounts of the Fixed Rate Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market for a period equal to such Interest Period; or

     (iii) the Requisite Lenders in the applicable Credit Facility advise the Administrative Agent that the applicable Fixed Rate for the applicable Optional Currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent, after taking into account the adjustments for reserves and increased costs provided for in Section 4.01(f), will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the relevant Fixed Rate Loans in the currency in which such Loans are denominated;

then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers under the applicable Credit Facility, whereupon (until the Administrative Agent notifies such Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist) the right of such Borrowers to elect to have Loans bear interest based upon the Fixed Rate in such currency shall be suspended and each outstanding Fixed Rate Loan which is denominated in the affected currency shall be converted into a Floating Rate Loan denominated in such currency on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, and any Notice of Borrowing with respect to Loans denominated in such currency for which Revolving Loans have not then been made shall be deemed to be a request for Floating Rate Loans in such currency, notwithstanding any prior election by any such Borrower to the contrary.

          (d) Illegality.

     (i) If at any time any Lender determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making or continuation of any Fixed Rate Loan in any currency has become unlawful or impermissible by compliance by that Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful or would result in costs or penalties), then, and in any such event, such Lender may give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrowers under the applicable Credit Facility and the

Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.

     (ii) When notice is given by a Lender under Section 4.02(d)(i), (A) such Borrowers’ right to request from such Lender and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Fixed Rate Loans in such currency shall be immediately suspended, and such Lender shall make a Floating Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans in such currency and (B) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan or Loans are then outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall, on the last day of the applicable Interests Period(s), or if such postponement is not permitted by applicable law, then by no later than the date it is required to do so in accordance with applicable law, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Loan into a Floating Rate Loan.

     (iii) If at any time after a Lender gives notice under Section 4.02(d)(i) in respect of a Fixed Rate Loan in any currency such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Fixed Rate Loans in such currency, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrowers under the applicable Credit Facility and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. Such Borrowers’ right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Fixed Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

          (e) Compensation. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01, each Domestic Borrower agrees to compensate each Domestic Lender and each Multicurrency Borrower agrees to compensate the Multicurrency Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and similar liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Fixed Rate Loans made to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Fixed Rate Margin on the relevant Loans) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of such Fixed Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by such Borrower or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 4.01(c), including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.02(c), (ii) if for any reason any Fixed Rate Loan made to such Borrower is prepaid (including, without limitation, mandatorily pursuant to Section 3.01) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period (it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Borrower may, in lieu of making a mandatory prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan which would otherwise be required to be made under this Agreement on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, deposit an amount equal to the amount which would otherwise be required to be so prepaid (plus interest accrued thereon for the appropriate number of days at the rate applicable to such Loan) into the Domestic Cash Collateral Account (or, in the case of Fixed Rate Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, an appropriate Cash Collateral Account) as Cash Collateral for application by the Administrative Agent to such Loan on the last day of such Interest Period), (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of such Fixed Rate Loan to a

Floating Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 4.02(c) or (d) or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by such Borrower to repay Fixed Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the applicable Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and similar liabilities, and such statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.

          4.03. Fees.

          (a) Letter of Credit Fee. In addition to any charges paid pursuant to Section 2.02(g), each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders under the applicable Credit Facility as provided in the following sentence with respect to any Letter of Credit Issued by the Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower, a fee per annum (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate in effect as of the date of each such payment on the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month for the preceding calendar month and on the date on which such Letter of Credit expires in accordance with its terms; provided, however, effective immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the rate at which the Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue and be payable shall be equal to two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate in effect from time to time. The Administrative Agent shall pay each Letter of Credit Fee to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Credit Facility under which such Letter of Credit has been issued.

          (b) Unused Commitment Fee. The Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Domestic Lenders, and the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Multicurrency Lender, in accordance with each Lender’s respective Pro Rata Shares of the applicable Credit Facility, a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”), in each case accruing from the Closing Date at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate in effect as of the payment date set forth below, on the average amount by which (i) the Commitment under the applicable Credit Facility exceeds (ii) an amount equal to the Credit Facility Outstandings under such Credit Facility less the Letter of Credit Obligations set forth in clause (c) of the definition thereof to the extent included in the determination of Credit Facility Outstandings, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Termination Date, the accrued portion of such fee being payable (A) monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar month, commencing on the first such day after the Closing Date and (B) on the Termination Date; provided, that subsequent to the date on which the Domestic Lenders fund their participations in the Multicurrency Facility, the Unused Commitment Fee on the Multicurrency Facility shall be ratably distributed among the Domestic Lenders to the extent of their funded participations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to any Unused Commitment Fees with respect to its Commitment under the applicable Credit Facility until such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(iv)(B), and no Borrower shall be required to pay any Unused Commitment Fees with respect to such Credit Facility to such Lender for such period.

          (c) Amendment and Restatement Fee; Multicurrency Lender Fronting Fee; Other Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Domestic Lenders, an amendment and restatement fee in immediately available funds equal to $262,500. Such fee shall be paid on the Closing Date. For the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, solely for the account of the Multicurrency Lender, a fee (the “Multicurrency Lender Fronting Fee”) that will accrue beginning on the Closing Date and that will be payable (A) monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar month, commencing on the first such day after the Closing Date and (B) on the Termination Date, equal to 0.25% per annum times that portion of the average aggregate outstanding principal amount of Multicurrency Loans for the applicable month in excess of $45,000,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent solely for its own account such other fees as are set forth in the Proposal and Fee Letter.

          (d) Calculation and Payment of Fees. All of the above fees that are based on a per annum rate shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. All such fees shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest, expense reimbursements, indemnification and other Obligations. Fees shall be payable by the Domestic Borrowers to the Domestic Concentration Account and by the Multicurrency Borrowers to the Multicurrency Payment Account in accordance with Section 3.02. All fees payable hereunder shall be fully earned and, subject only to Section 14.01(c), nonrefundable when paid. All fees specified or referred to herein due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including, without limitation, those referred to in this Section 4.03, shall bear interest, if not paid when due, at the interest rate for Loans in accordance with Section 4.01(d), shall constitute Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral.

          6.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers. In order to induce the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrowers and to Issue the Letters of Credit described herein, each of the Borrowers (other than the Multicurrency Borrowers, which so represent and warrant in favor of the Multicurrency Lender, only with respect to themselves and their unconsolidated liabilities, assets, business and operations) hereby represents and warrants to each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date and thereafter on each date as required by Section 5.02(a) that the following statements are true, correct and complete:

          (a) Organization; Corporate and Limited Liability Company Powers.

     (ii) True, correct and complete copies of the Constituent Documents identified on Schedule 6.01-A attached hereto have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, each of which is in full force and effect, has not been modified or amended except to the extent indicated therein and, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, there are no defaults under such Constituent Documents and no events which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under such Constituent Documents.

          (b) Authority; Enforceability.

     (i) Each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

No other corporate or limited liability company action or proceedings on the part of any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary are necessary to consummate such transactions.

     (iii) Each of the Loan Documents to which any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary is a party has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect and no material term or condition thereof has been amended, modified or waived from the terms and conditions contained therein as delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(a) without the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders.

     (iv) Each of the Loan Documents to which any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary is a party, where applicable, creates valid and perfected first priority Liens (subject only to Customary Permitted Liens specified in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof) in the Collateral covered thereby securing the payment of all of the Obligations purported to be secured thereby.

     (v) Each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary has performed and complied with all the terms, provisions, agreements and conditions set forth in each Loan Document to which it is a party and required to be performed or complied with by such parties on or before the Closing Date, all filings and recordings and other actions which are necessary or desirable to perfect and protect the Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents and preserve their required priority have been duly taken, and no Default, Event of Default or breach of any covenant by any such party exists thereunder.

          (c) Subsidiaries; Ownership of Capital Stock. Schedule 6.01-C (i) contains a diagram indicating the corporate or limited liability company structure of each Borrower, Borrower Subsidiary and any other Affiliate thereof in which such Person holds a direct or indirect partnership, joint venture or other equity interest; and (ii) accurately sets forth (A) the correct legal name, the jurisdiction of organization, the organizational identification number issued by the state of organization of and the federal employer identification number of (in each case, if applicable) each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary, and the jurisdictions in which each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary is qualified to transact business as a foreign organization, (B) the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of each class of Capital Stock of such Person and

the owners of such shares, and (C) a summary of the direct and indirect partnership, joint venture, or other equity interests, if any, of each such Person in any Person that is not a corporation. None of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of any Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary is subject to any vesting, redemption, or repurchase agreement, and there are no warrants or options outstanding with respect to such Capital Stock. The outstanding Capital Stock of each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and is not Margin Stock.

          (d) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents to which any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary is a party do not and will not (i) conflict with the Constituent Documents of any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary, (ii) constitute a tortious interference with any Contractual Obligation of any Person, (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Requirement of Law or other Contractual Obligation of any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary, or require the termination of any other Contractual Obligation, (iv) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the Property or assets of any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary, other than Liens contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (v) require any approval of any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary shareholders that has not been obtained.

          (e) Governmental Consents, etc. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents to which each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary is a party do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by any Governmental Authority, except (i) filings, consents or notices which have been made, obtained or given, or, in a timely manner, will be made, obtained, or given; and (ii) filings necessary to create or perfect security interests in the Collateral. None of the Borrowers and Borrower Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other federal or state statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur indebtedness or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

          (f) Accommodation Obligations; Contingencies. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.01.4, no Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary has any Accommodation Obligation, contingent liability or liability for any Taxes, long-term lease or commitment, not reflected in its Financial Statements delivered to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or otherwise disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the other Schedules hereto.

          (g) Restricted Payments. Since the date of the Proposal and Fee Letter, no Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary has directly or indirectly declared, ordered, paid or made or set apart any sum or Property for any Restricted Payment or agreed to do so, except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.06 hereof.

          (h) Financial Position. The Initial Projections and each of the business plans and all other financial projections and related materials and documents delivered to the Lenders pursuant hereto (including, but not limited to, each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered hereunder) were prepared in good faith and are based upon facts and assumptions that management of the Borrowers believe to be reasonable in light of the then current and foreseeable business conditions and prospects of NMHG Holding and its Subsidiaries and

represent management’s opinion of the projected financial performance based on the information available at the time so furnished. All Financial Statements included in such materials were prepared in all material respects in conformity with GAAP, except as otherwise noted therein, and fairly present in all material respects the respective consolidated financial positions, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods covered thereby of NMHG Holding and its Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof. The Pro Forma, copies of which have been furnished to the Lenders, fairly presents on a pro forma basis the financial condition of NMHG Holding and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and reflects on a pro forma basis those liabilities reflected in the notes thereto and resulting from consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and the payment or accrual of all transaction costs payable with respect to any of the foregoing. The Borrowers believe that the Initial Projections and the assumptions expressed in the Pro Forma are reasonable based on the information available to the Borrowers at the time so furnished.

          (i) Litigation; Adverse Effects. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.01-I, there is no action, suit, audit, proceeding, claim, allegation of defective pricing, investigation or arbitration (or series of related actions, suits, proceedings, allegations, investigations or arbitrations) before or by any Governmental Authority or private arbitrator pending or, to the Knowledge of any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary, threatened against any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary or any Property of any of them (i) challenging the validity or the enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, (ii) which has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act or any similar federal or state statute where such Person is a defendant in a criminal indictment that provides for the forfeiture of assets to any Governmental Authority as a criminal penalty. There is no material loss contingency within the meaning of GAAP which has not been reflected in the consolidated Financial Statements of NMHG Holding and its Subsidiaries. No Borrower nor any Borrower Subsidiary is (A) in violation of any applicable Requirements of Law which violation has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) subject to or in default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, restraining order or order of any nature, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Authority which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (j) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2004, there has occurred no event which has resulted or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (k) Payment of Taxes. All tax returns and reports of each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary required to be filed have been timely filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges thereupon and upon their respective Property, assets, income and franchises which are shown in such returns or reports to be due and payable have been paid other than such taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges (i) which are being contested in good faith by a Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary, as the case may be, by appropriate proceedings diligently instituted and conducted as permitted by the terms of Section 8.04 and (ii) non-payment of the amounts thereof would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary has any knowledge of any proposed tax assessment against any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary that shall have or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (l) Performance. None of the Borrowers or Borrower Subsidiaries has received notice or has actual Knowledge that (i) it is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation applicable to it; (ii) any condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default with respect to any such Contractual Obligation; or (iii) any of its Property is in violation of any Requirement of Law and which in the case of any of the foregoing has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (m) Disclosure. The representations and warranties of each Borrower and Borrower Subsidiary contained in the Loan Documents and all certificates and documents delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which and the time at which they were made, not misleading. No Borrower nor Borrower Subsidiary has intentionally withheld any fact from the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in regard to any matter which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (n) Requirements of Law. Each of the Borrowers and Borrower Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it and its business, in each case where the failure to so comply individually or in the aggregate shall have or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (iii) none of the Borrowers and Borrower Subsidiaries nor any of their respective present or past Property or operations, are subject to or the subject of any currently effective or ongoing judicial or administrative proceeding, order, judgment, decree, dispute, negotiations, agreement, or settlement respecting (I) any violation of or liability under any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law, (II) any Remedial Action, or (III) any Claims or Liabilities and Costs arising from the Release or threatened Release of a Contaminant into the environment;

     (v) none of the present or, to any Borrower’s Knowledge, past Property of any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) pursuant to CERCLA or on the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Information System List (“CERCLIS”) or any similar state list of sites requiring Remedial Action;

     (xi) none of the Property presently is subject to any Environmental Property Transfer Act, or the extent such acts are presently applicable to any such Property, the Borrowers and the Borrower Subsidiaries have fully complied with the requirements of such acts; and

     (xii) the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not, and to their Knowledge will not be, subject to Liabilities and Costs arising out of or relating to environmental, health or safety matters that have resulted or are reasonably likely to result in cash expenditures by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in excess of $2,500,000 in the aggregate for any calendar year ending after the Closing Date.

          (p) ERISA Matters. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to any Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Foreign Pension Plan other than those listed on Schedule 6.01-P attached hereto. Each Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as currently in effect either (i) has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS that the Plan is so qualified or (ii) an application for determination of such tax-qualified status will be made to the IRS prior to the end of the applicable remedial amendment period under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as currently in effect, and a Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate shall diligently seek to obtain a determination letter with respect to such application. Except as identified on Schedule 6.01-P, no Borrower nor any Borrower Subsidiary maintains or contributes to any employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA which provides benefits to employees after termination of employment other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA. Each Borrower and each Borrower Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the responsibilities, obligations and duties imposed on it by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to all Plans. No Benefit Plan has incurred any accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Sections 302(a)(2) of ERISA and 412(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) whether or not waived. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Plan which is not a Multiemployer Plan (i) has engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Sections 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) has taken or failed to take any action which would constitute or result in a Termination Event. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any potential liability under Sections 4063, 4064, 4069, 4204 or 4212(c) of ERISA. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due which are unpaid. Schedule B to the most recent annual report filed with the IRS with respect to each Benefit Plan and furnished to the Administrative Agent is complete and accurate. Except as identified on Schedule 6.01-P, since the date of each such Schedule B, there has been no material adverse change in the funding status or financial condition of the Benefit Plan relating to such Schedule B. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has (i) failed to make a required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan or (ii) made a complete or partial withdrawal under Sections 4203 or 4205 of ERISA from a Multiemployer Plan. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make a required installment or any other required payment under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code on or before the due date for such installment or other payment. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security to a Benefit Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code due to a Benefit Plan amendment that results in an increase in current liability for the plan year. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.01-P, no Borrower nor any Borrower Subsidiary has, by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby, any obligation to make any payment to any employee pursuant to any Plan or existing contract or arrangement. Each Borrower has given to the Administrative Agent copies of all of the following: each Benefit Plan and related trust agreement (including all amendments to such Plan and trust) in existence or committed to as of the Closing Date and in respect of which any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is currently an “employer” as defined in section 3(5) of ERISA, and the most recent actuarial report, determination letter issued by the IRS and Form 5500 filed in respect of each such Benefit Plan in existence; a listing of all of the Multiemployer Plans currently contributed to by any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate with the aggregate amount of the most recent annual contributions required to be made by the Borrowers and all ERISA Affiliates to each such Multiemployer Plan, any information which has been

provided to any Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate regarding withdrawal liability under any Multiemployer Plan and the collective bargaining agreement pursuant to which such contribution is required to be made; and as to each employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA which provides benefits to employees of any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary after termination of employment other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA, the plan document (or, if no plan document is available, a written description of the benefits provided under such plan), the actuarial report for such plan (if any), the aggregate amount of the most recent annual payments made to, or on behalf of, terminated employees under each such plan, and any information about funding to provide for such welfare benefits.

          (q) Foreign Employee Benefit Matters. Each Foreign Employee Benefit Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such Plan. Each Foreign Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify for the most favorable tax and accounting treatment available in respect of it is so qualified. With respect to any Foreign Pension Plan with a defined benefit element not wholly covered by insurance maintained or contributed to by any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary, the most recent valuation for such plan has been disclosed. Contributions to such Foreign Pension Plan are being made at the rate recommended by actuarial advice to eliminate any projected benefit obligation (PBO) deficits disclosed in such valuations in the period prior to the next valuation, and no Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary, or trustee has taken nor will take, any action which would materially increase any such deficit. With respect to any Foreign Employee Benefit Plan maintained or contributed to by any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Pension Plan), reasonable reserves have been established in accordance with prudent business practice or where required by best accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Plan is maintained having regard to tax legislation. The aggregate unfunded liabilities, after giving effect to any reserves for such liabilities, with respect to such Plans will not result in a material liability. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against any Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Foreign Employee Benefit Plan.

          (r) Labor Matters.

     (i) Except as set forth in Schedule 6.01-R, there is no collective bargaining agreement covering any of the employees of any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary. To each Borrower’s Knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 6.01-R, no attempt to organize the employees of any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary is pending, threatened or planned.

     (ii) Set forth in Schedule 6.01-R or Schedule 6.01-P, as the case may be, is a list, of all material consulting agreements, material executive employment agreements, executive compensation plans, deferred compensation agreements, employee pension plans or retirement plans, employee profit sharing plans, employee stock purchase and stock option plans, and severance plans of NMHG Holding and its Subsidiaries providing for benefits for employees of NMHG Holding and its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VIII
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

          Each of the Borrowers (other than the Multicurrency Borrowers which so covenant in favor of the Multicurrency Lender only with respect to themselves and their consolidated liabilities, assets, business and operations) covenants and agrees that so long as any Commitment is outstanding and thereafter until Payment In Full of all of the Obligations, unless the Requisite Lenders shall otherwise give prior written consent:

          8.01. Organizational Existence, Etc. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, at all times maintain its respective organizational existence and preserve and keep, or cause to be preserved and kept, in full force and effect its rights and franchises material to its business except where the failure to so maintain or preserve would not have or be reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.02. Organizational Powers; Conduct of Business, Etc. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, qualify and remain qualified to do business and maintain its good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business and the ownership of its Property requires it to be so qualified and in good standing except where the failure to qualify or remain qualified would not have or be reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.03. Compliance with Laws, Etc. Each Borrower shall and shall cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, (a) comply with all Requirements of Law and all restrictive covenants affecting such Person or the business, Property, assets or operations of such Person, and (b) obtain as needed all Permits necessary for such Person’s operations and maintain such Permits in good standing, except, in each case, where the failure to do is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.04. Payment of Taxes and Claims; Tax Consolidation. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, pay (a) all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges less than or equal to $2,000,000 imposed upon it or on any of its Property or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or Property within five days upon Knowledge that a penalty or interest has accrued thereon, and (b) all Claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums less than or equal to $2,000,000 which have become due and payable and which by law have or may become a Lien (other than a Lien permitted by Section 9.03) upon any of any Borrower’s or Borrower Subsidiary’s Property or assets, within five days upon Knowledge that any penalty or fine has accrued with respect thereto. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, pay (a) on the day when due, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges greater than $2,000,000 imposed upon it or on any of its Property or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or Property, and (b) all Claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums greater than $2,000,000 which have become due and payable and which by law have or may become a Lien (other than a Lien permitted by Section 9.03) upon any of any Borrower’s or Borrower Subsidiary’s Property or assets. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity or amount of any such taxes or claims by proper proceedings timely instituted, and may permit the taxes or claims to be contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest if (i) it diligently prosecutes such contest, (ii) it makes adequate provision in conformity with GAAP with respect to the contested items, and (iii) during the period of such contest, the enforcement and ability of any taxing authority to force payment of any contested item or to impose a Lien with respect thereto is effectively stayed.

          8.05. Insurance. Each Borrower shall maintain for itself and its Subsidiaries, or shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain in full force and effect the insurance policies and programs listed on Schedule 6.01-W or substantially similar policies and programs or other

In the event any Borrower or Borrower Subsidiary, at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies or insurance required herein or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then the Administrative Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligations or resulting Event of Default hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto which the Administrative Agent deems advisable.

connection with environmental compliance, hazard or liability), and to discuss their affairs, finances and accounts with their officers, management personnel, and independent certified public accountants (in the presence, or with the consent of, a Financial Officer of such Borrower or NMHG), all upon reasonable written notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours, as often as may be reasonably requested. Each such visitation and inspection shall be at such Borrower’s expense provided, however, that Collateral field examinations at the Borrowers’ expense may be conducted no more frequently than (i) quarterly, if Excess Borrowing Base Capacity is less than an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Commitments then in effect (as determined by the Administrative Agent based on the then most recent set of Borrowing Base Certificates delivered by the Borrowers or, during the period from June 30 to October 31 in any Fiscal Year, based on the better of the two most recent sets of Borrowing Base Certificates delivered by the Borrowers); (ii) semi-annually, if Excess Borrowing Base Capacity is greater than or equal to an amount equal to twenty percent (20%), but less than or equal to forty percent (40%), of the Commitments then in effect (as determined by the Administrative Agent based on the then most recent set of Borrowing Base Certificates delivered by the Borrowers or, during the period from June 30 to October 31 in any Fiscal Year, based on the better of the two most recent sets of Borrowing Base Certificates delivered by the Borrowers); (iii) annually, if Excess Borrowing Base Capacity is greater than an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of the Commitments then in effect (as determined by the Administrative Agent based on the then most recent set of Borrowing Base Certificates delivered by the Borrowers or, during the period from June 30 to October 31 in any Fiscal Year, based on the better of the two most recent sets of Borrowing Base Certificates delivered by the Borrowers); or (iv) at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          (b) Each Borrower shall keep and maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep and maintain, in all material respects on its MIS and otherwise proper books of record and account in which entries in conformity with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its respective businesses and activities, including, without limitation, transactions and other dealings with respect to the Collateral. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Borrower, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, turn over any such records to the Administrative Agent or its representatives; provided, however, that the Borrower may, in its discretion, retain copies of such records.

          8.10. Further Assurances; Additional Collateral.

          (a) Each Borrower shall execute and deliver, and cause the Borrower Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, within the time periods set forth with respect to such items on the Closing List, all agreements, documents and instruments designated as “post-closing items” on the Closing List. In the event that any such agreement, document or instrument is not delivered within such time periods, in addition to any other remedies provided hereunder or under the Loan Documents, the Collateral Value of Collateral subject to such agreement, document or instrument, if any, shall be deemed to be zero or, if such Collateral does not otherwise have Collateral Value, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish appropriate Availability Reserves based on the value of such Collateral, until such agreements, documents and instruments with respect thereto are executed and delivered.

          (b) In addition to and not in lieu of the rights and obligations of the parties under clause (a) above, in the event that any jurisdiction where account debtors of the UK Borrower are located (each, a “Foreign Account Debtor”) becomes a jurisdiction where the aggregate amount owing by Foreign Account Debtors in such jurisdiction is in excess of $1,000,000 and with respect to which Receivables would be given eligibility pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of the defined term “Eligible Foreign Receivable” (each, a “Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction”), the UK Borrower shall cause to be issued, within 45 days after the date on which a jurisdiction becomes a Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction, an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, concluding that, under the laws of the Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction, (i) the courts of the Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction would recognize the stated choice of law governing the Receivables (being Netherlands law, English law, and, if Receivables governed by Italian law are then included, Italian law) owing from the Foreign Account Debtors in such Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction; (ii) a judgment under or in respect of such Receivables obtained in the courts of the jurisdiction whose law governs the Receivables would be enforced in the Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction;

(iii) if such Receivables have been sold to the UK Borrower by the Netherlands Borrower, and, if applicable, by NACCO Materials Handling S.R.L. pursuant to a Receivables Sale Agreement, such sale, and the stated choice of Dutch law under a Receivables Sale Agreement, or, in the case of sales by NACCO Materials Handling S.R.L., Italian law, would be recognized under the laws of the Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction (assuming that the same constituted a valid sale under Dutch, or, as the case may be, Italian, law and assuming that the notice of the sale required by the Receivables Sale Agreement had been given to the Foreign Account Debtor); and (iv) if the Administrative Agent so requires legal opinions of counsel in the relevant Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction as enables the Administrative Agent to assess the level of risk of the Liens granted over the Receivables (under English, Dutch, or as applicable, Italian law under the English Deed of Charge, the Dutch law governed Foreign Security Agreement granted by the UK Borrower or, if applicable, any Italian law governed Foreign Security Agreement granted by the UK Borrower): (A) not being recognized or upheld under the laws of the relevant Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction; and (B) in consequence thereof being successfully challenged by a trustee in bankruptcy, liquidator or similar officer of the UK Borrower under the laws of the relevant Foreign Debtor Jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent has concluded that the level or risk is acceptable to it (collectively, the “Required Cross-Border Opinions”). In addition, within 90 days after the date on which a jurisdiction becomes a Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction, (x) the UK Borrower shall form a Receivables Subsidiary, and the Multicurrency Borrowers (and any other Borrower Subsidiary party to a Receivables Sale Agreement) shall thereafter transfer all Receivables owing from account debtors located in such Material Foreign Account Debtor Jurisdiction to the Receivables Subsidiary and (y) the Receivables Subsidiary shall become a Multicurrency Borrower, and the Receivables Subsidiary, the UK Borrower, the Netherlands Borrower, the other Credit Parties and such other Borrower Subsidiary shall enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or other agreements, documents and instruments, in each case as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to permit the transactions among the Receivables Subsidiary, the UK Borrower the Netherlands Borrower and such other Borrower Subsidiary, to reflect the Receivables Subsidiary as a Multicurrency Borrower hereunder and to grant to the Administrative Agent a Lien on all Property (other than Equipment, fixtures and Real Property) of the Receivables Subsidiary.

          (c) In addition to and not in lieu of the rights and obligations of the parties under clauses (a) and (b) above, at any time and from time to time, (i) promptly following the Administrative Agent’s written request and at the expense of the applicable Person, each Borrower agrees to duly execute and deliver, and to cause its Subsidiaries to duly execute and deliver, any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem desirable in order to perfect and protect any Lien granted or purported to be granted pursuant to the Loan Documents or to enable the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to such Collateral and (ii) promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, assign to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to an assignment in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the right to receive proceeds (for application to the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement) of any Interest Rate Contracts or Currency Agreement to which any Credit Party is a party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the granting of such further

assurances or security interest under this Section 8.10 shall not be required if it would (A) be prohibited by other Contractual Obligations to which such Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party, (B) be prohibited by applicable law, or (C) result in material adverse tax consequences to any Borrower.

          (d) In addition to and not in lieu of the rights and obligations of the parties under clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, promptly, but in any event within 90 days, following the Administrative Agent’s written request (or such later date as is agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent), and at the expense of the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary thereof, each Borrower agrees to duly execute and deliver, and to cause its Subsidiaries to duly execute and deliver, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, any and all such further instruments and documents, including, without limitation, all amendments, modifications, supplements, restatements or reaffirmations of any existing instruments or documents, in each case as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to create and/or maintain a valid and perfected security interest of the Administrative Agent in any Foreign Collateral.

With respect to any location not listed on Schedule 6.01-V in which there is, or is reasonably expected to be, during any period of thirty days or more, Inventory with a Fair Market Value of $250,000 or more, each Borrower shall use, and shall cause the Credit Parties to use, its best efforts to obtain and deliver to the Administrative Agent Collateral Access Agreements.

          (b) Each Borrower shall use, and shall cause the Credit Parties to use, its best efforts to obtain and deliver to the Administrative Agent Collateral Access Agreements with respect to all leased Properties in which there is, or is reasonably expect to be, Inventory with a Fair Market Value of $1,000,000 or more.

The Borrowers acknowledge that in the event any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its respective obligations or liabilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders; therefore, each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be entitled after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

          11.03. Cash Collateral. The Administrative Agent may, at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and otherwise consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code (or any applicable Requirements of Law in any other relevant jurisdiction), sell or cause to be sold any Cash Equivalents being held by the Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral (in any Cash Collateral Account, or otherwise) at any broker’s board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price as the Administrative Agent may deem best, without assumption of any credit risk, and the purchaser of any or all such Cash Equivalents

so sold shall thereafter own the same, absolutely free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind whatsoever. The Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank may, in its own name or in the name of a designee or nominee, buy such Cash Equivalents at any public sale and, if permitted by applicable law, buy such Cash Equivalents at any private sale. The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any such sale, net of any expenses incurred in connection therewith, and any other funds deposited in (x) the Domestic Cash Collateral Accounts, to the payment of the Domestic Obligations in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the Multicurrency Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Multicurrency Obligations in accordance with this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees that (a) each sale of Cash Equivalents shall be conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, commercial finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to such Cash Equivalents and shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable and (b) any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is received by NMHG at its notice address on the signature pages hereto at least ten (10) Business Days before the time of the sale or disposition. Any other requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is waived to the extent permitted by law. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

          11.04. License for Use of Software and Other Intellectual Property. Unless expressly prohibited by the licensor thereof, if any, the Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license to use, without charge, the computer programs, software, printouts and other computer materials, technical knowledge or processes, data bases, materials, trademarks, registered trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, registered service marks, service mark applications, patents, patent applications, trade names, industrial designs, rights of use of any name, labels, fictitious names, inventions, designs, trade secrets, goodwill, registrations, copyrights, copyright applications, Permits, licenses, franchises, customer lists, credit files, correspondence, and advertising materials or any Property of a similar nature of any Credit Party or Borrower Subsidiary, in each case, as it pertains to the Collateral owned by such Person, or any rights to any of the foregoing, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any of such Collateral, and such Person’s rights under all licenses and franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent agrees not to use any such license prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default without giving prior notice to the applicable Credit Party or Subsidiary thereof.

ARTICLE XII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          12.01. Appointment.

          (a) Each Domestic Lender, Issuing Bank, and Multicurrency Lender hereby designates and appoints CNAI as the Administrative Agent hereunder (and as security trustee or security agent under each Foreign Security Agreement, in each case on and subject to the terms thereunder), and each such Person hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute such documents (including, without limitation, the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party) and to take such other action on such Person’s behalf under the provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth

herein or therein together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes or any amount payable under any provision of Article III when due) or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms hereof, a different proportion of the Lenders) and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders, Issuing Bank and Holders; provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably believes shall expose it to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary hereto, to the other Loan Documents or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article XII.

          (b) The provisions of this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Issuing Bank, and no Borrower nor any Affiliate of any Borrower shall have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof (other than as expressly set forth in Sections 12.07 and 12.09). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency, trustee or fiduciary with or for any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its respective agents or employees.

          12.02. Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the Loan Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason hereof a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Holder. Nothing herein or in any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and with the issuance of the Letters of Credit and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries initially and on a continuing basis, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Holder with any credit or other information with respect thereto (except for reports required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent under the terms hereof). If the Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of any of the Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking of any action hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Lenders so required hereunder have instructed the Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto Each Lender hereby consents to the Administrative Agent’s negotiation of and entry into an intercreditor agreement on such Lender’s behalf in connection with Permitted Term B Loans, including, without limitation, any intercreditor

agreement governing Permitted Term B Loans arranged, agented or held by Citibank, CNAI or any CNAI Affiliate. Such intercreditor agreement shall constitute the intercreditor agreement described in the definition of “Permitted Term B Loans” and is the intercreditor agreement to which term B loans are required to be subject in order to qualify as Permitted Term B Loans. Each Lender further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take actions under such intercreditor agreement on its behalf and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of such intercreditor agreement.

          12.03. Rights, Exculpation, Etc.

          (a) Liabilities; Responsibilities. None of the Administrative Agent, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Holder for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection therewith, except for damages caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 3.02(b), and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Holder to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Holders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Holder for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions hereof or of any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

          (b) Right to Request Instructions. The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the applicable Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from those Lenders from whom the Administrative Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where required by the express terms hereof, a greater proportion of the Lenders.

          12.04. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by

the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining hereto or to any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for any Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.

          12.05. Indemnification. To the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers, the Lenders shall reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Credit Facilities; provided, however, such Lenders shall have no obligation to the Administrative Agent with respect to the matters indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.05 resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations of such Lenders under this Section 12.05 shall survive the Payment In Full of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations and the termination hereof.

          12.06. CNAI Individually. With respect to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments hereunder, if any, and the Loans made by it, if any, CNAI shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and are subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender under the applicable Credit Facility. The terms “Lenders”, “Domestic Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include CNAI in its individual capacity as a Lender, a Domestic Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. CNAI and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with NMHG or any of its Subsidiaries as if CNAI were not acting as Administrative Agent pursuant hereto.

          12.07. Successor Administrative Agents; Resignation of Administrative Agents.

          (a) Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders. The resignation of the Administrative Agent shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to this Section 12.07.

          (b) Appointment by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent selected from among the Lenders, which appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrowers (which may not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default).

          (c) Appointment by Retiring Administrative Agent. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.07, the retiring Administrative Agent, with the consent of any Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be required

upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (d) Rights of the Successor and Retiring Administrative Agents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as 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 its duties and obligations hereunder thereafter to be performed. After the resignation of any Administrative Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII shall inure to such Persons’ benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder.

          12.08. Relations Among Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not take any legal action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Collateral without the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations, or terminate its Commitments except in accordance with Section 11.02(a) or a setoff permitted under Section 14.05.

          12.09. Concerning the Collateral and the Loan Documents.

          (a) Protective Advances. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, make such disbursements and advances to or for the account of any Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents which the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral under the applicable Credit Facility or any portion thereof or to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment of the Loans and other Obligations up to an amount not in excess of the lesser of (i) an amount equal to (A) the aggregate Commitments under all Credit Facilities less (B) the sum of the aggregate Credit Facility Outstandings and (ii) $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all Credit Facilities with respect to advances made by the Administrative Agent (“Protective Advances”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Lender in writing of each such Protective Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Protective Advance. The Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally agree and the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the Administrative Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all outstanding Protective Advances under the applicable Credit Facility, together with interest thereon at the rate from time to time applicable to Floating Rate Loans under such Credit Facility from the date of such Protective Advance until the outstanding principal balance thereof is paid in full. If the applicable Borrower(s) fail to make payment in respect of any Protective Advance within one (1) Business Day after the date such Borrower receives written demand therefor from the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall, unless the notice in Section 2.03(b) has been given, promptly notify each Lender under the applicable Credit Facility and such Lender agrees that it shall thereupon make available to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share under the applicable Credit Facility of such Protective Advance. If such funds are not made available to

the Administrative Agent by such Lender within one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the Loans for each day during the period commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is received. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such Pro Rata Share of any such Protective Advance shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share under the applicable Credit Facility of such Protective Advance on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. All outstanding principal of, and interest on, Protective Advances shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral until paid in full by the applicable Borrower(s).

          (b) Authority. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms hereof, a different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such different proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders and Issuing Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuing Bank under the Credit Facilities with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral; (ii) execute and deliver each Loan Document relating to the Collateral and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by any Credit Party; (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuing Bank for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, provided, however, the Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and each Issuing Bank to act as collateral sub-agent for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to the Property at any time in the possession of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, including, without limitation, the Credit Parties’ respective deposit accounts maintained with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender or such Issuing Bank; (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral; (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents; and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

          (c) Release of Collateral.

     (i) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby directs the Administrative Agent to release any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the other Holders:

(A) against all of the Collateral, upon final Payment In Full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments and this Agreement;

(B) against any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary, if such sale or disposition is permitted by Section 3.06, 9.02 or 9.06 and certified to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower in an Officer’s Certificate (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited by such Section) or, if not pursuant to such sale or disposition, against any part of the Collateral, if such release is consented to by Lenders whose aggregate Pro Rata Shares under all Credit Facilities, in the aggregate, are equal to 100%; and

(C) against the Foreign Collateral if the Multicurrency Commitment has been terminated and permanently reduced to zero and the Multicurrency Obligations have been Paid in Full.

     (ii) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 12.09(c) promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

          (d) No Obligation. Without limiting the generality of Section 12.03, the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists, is owned by any Credit Party, is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant to the Loan Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section 12.09 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interests in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Holder; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (e) Dutch Pledges. For the purpose of the Dutch Pledges only:

     (i) In connection with the Obligations of each Borrower towards any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Holder (each an “Obligee” and collectively the “Obligees”), each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that CNAI shall, to the extent CNAI is not a creditor itself in respect of such Obligations, be a “joint and several co-creditor” with such Obligee in respect of such Obligations. Accordingly, CNAI shall be entitled to demand as a creditor performance in full of such Obligations by the relevant Borrower owing the same, whereby satisfaction of such Obligations owed to one creditor (either CNAI or the relevant Obligee) shall release such Borrower from its obligations to the other creditor.

     (ii) If and to the extent that, notwithstanding Section 14.14, Dutch law applies to this Section 12.09(e), this Agreement constitutes a management agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of Section 3:168 of the Dutch Civil Code among CNAI and the Obligees; CNAI and the Obligees exclude among them to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of title 7 of book 3 of the Dutch Civil Code with respect to the Obligations.

     (iii) The rights of pledge created or to be created by the Dutch Pledges are granted by the applicable Credit Parties to CNAI, as Administrative Agent. Such rights of pledge are therefore not held among the Obligees and CNAI in a community of property (gemeenschap) within the meaning of Section 3:166 of the Dutch Civil Code.

          (f) Italian Pledges. For the purpose of the Italian Pledges only, in connection with the Obligations of each Borrower towards any Obligee, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that CNAI shall, to the extent CNAI is not a creditor itself in respect of such Obligations, be a “joint and several co-creditor” with such Obligee in respect of such Obligations. Accordingly, CNAI shall be entitled to demand as a creditor performance in full of such Obligations by the relevant Borrower owing the same, whereby satisfaction of such Obligations owed to one creditor (either CNAI or the relevant Obligee) shall release such Borrower from its obligations to the other creditor.

          12.10. No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 C.F.R. 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrowers, Borrower Subsidiaries, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any recordkeeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Anti-Terrorism Laws.

          12.11. USA Patriot Act. On the Closing Date and at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act, each Lender and each of its assignees and participants that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations.

ARTICLE XIII
CO-BORROWER PROVISIONS

          13.01. Domestic Borrowers. Each of the Domestic Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes each other Domestic Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication from or to any Domestic Borrower as having been delivered by or to all Domestic Borrowers. Any action taken by one Domestic Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon the other Domestic Borrowers. Each Domestic Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders for the payment of the Domestic Obligations and that such liability is independent of the Obligations of the other Borrowers and whether such Obligations become unenforceable against any other Borrower.

          13.02. Multicurrency Borrowers. Each of the Multicurrency Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes each other Multicurrency Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact to take actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Each Multicurrency Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders for the payment of the Multicurrency Obligations and that such liability is independent of the Multicurrency Obligations of the other Multicurrency Borrowers and whether such Multicurrency Obligations become unenforceable against the other Multicurrency Borrowers.

          13.03. Separate Actions. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Borrower whether such action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any other Borrower is joined in such action or actions. Each Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to release the other Borrowers without in any manner or to any extent affecting the liability of such Borrower hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower, or the cessation for any reason whatsoever of the liability of any other Borrower with respect to any of the Obligations, or any claim that any Borrower’s liability hereunder exceeds or is more burdensome than the liability of any other Borrower or Borrowers.

          13.04. Obligations Absolute and Unconditional. Each Borrower hereby agrees that its Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be unconditional, irrespective of:

          (a) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents as to any other Borrower;

          (b) the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders to collect, or to take any other action to enforce, all or any part of the Obligations whether from or against any Borrower or any other Person liable for such Obligations;

          (c) the election of any remedy available under the Loan Documents or applicable Requirements of Law by, or on behalf of, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders with respect to all or any part of the Obligations;

          (d) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by, or on behalf of, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents;

          (e) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations;

          (f) the election by, or on behalf of, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders, in any proceeding which constitutes a Bankruptcy Event, involving any other Borrower of any right which is comparable to the rights set forth in Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

          (g) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, or any receiver or assignee following the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event, pursuant to any provision of applicable law comparable to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

          (h) the disallowance, under any provision of applicable law comparable to Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims against any Borrower held by any of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, for repayment of all or any part of the Obligations;

          (i) the insolvency of any other Borrower; and

          (j) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower (other than Payment In Full of the Obligations).

          13.05. Waivers and Acknowledgements.

          (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided under any provision of the Loan Documents or as required by any mandatory provision of applicable Requirements of Law, each Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy of any Borrower or any other Person, protest or notice with respect to the Obligations, all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the benefits of all statutes of limitation, and all other demands whatsoever (and shall not require that the same be made on any other Borrower as a condition precedent to such other Borrower’s

Obligations hereunder), and covenants that this Agreement (and the joint and several liability of each Domestic Borrower under Section 13.01 and the joint and several liability of each Multicurrency Borrower under Section 13.02) will not be discharged, except by Payment In Full of the Obligations. Each Borrower further waives all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Indebtedness, arising either from additional loans extended to any other Borrower or otherwise, and also waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from the maker, any endorser or any other Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or from any other Person, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or Collateral given to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders to secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations.

          (b) The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders are hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of the Borrowers hereunder, from time to time, (i) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the Obligations; (ii) to take and hold security or Collateral for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, this Agreement, or any other guaranties of all or any part of the Obligations or other liabilities of the Borrowers, and (iii) to settle, release, exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of the Obligations, this Agreement, any guaranty of all or any part of the Obligations, and, subject to the terms of the relevant Security Documents, any security or Collateral for the Obligations or for any such guaranty, irrespective of the effect on the contribution or subrogation rights of the Borrowers. Any of the foregoing may be done in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of each Borrower hereunder.

          13.06. Contribution Among Borrowers.

          (a) The Domestic Borrowers agree as between themselves and without limiting any liability of any Domestic Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Domestic Lenders, that to the extent any payment of the Obligations of the Domestic Borrowers is required to be made under this Agreement, each Domestic Borrower shall be responsible for a portion of such payment equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the net worth (determined in accordance with GAAP) of such Domestic Borrower on the date of such payment and the denominator of which is the aggregate net worth (computed as aforesaid) of the Domestic Borrowers, multiplied by (b) the amount of such payment (such product being such Domestic Borrower’s “DB Contribution Amount”). To the extent that any Domestic Borrower (the “Paying Domestic Borrower”) shall make a payment in respect of the Obligations of the Domestic Borrowers under this Agreement in excess of its DB Contribution Amount, the other Domestic Borrowers shall reimburse the Paying Domestic Borrower in an amount equal to the excess of such payment over the Paying Domestic Borrower’s DB Contribution Amount, pro rata based on the respective net worths of such other Domestic Borrowers at the date enforcement under this Agreement is sought.

          (b) The Multicurrency Borrowers agree as between themselves and without limiting any liability of any Multicurrency Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Multicurrency Lender, that to the extent any payment of the Obligations of the Multicurrency Borrowers is required to be made under this Agreement, each Multicurrency

Borrower shall be responsible for a portion of such payment equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the net worth (determined in accordance with GAAP) of such Multicurrency Borrower on the date of such payment and the denominator of which is the aggregate net worth (computed as aforesaid) of the Multicurrency Borrowers, multiplied by (b) the amount of such payment (such product being such Multicurrency Borrower’s “MB Contribution Amount”). To the extent that any Multicurrency Borrower (the “Paying Multicurrency Borrower”) shall make a payment in respect of the Obligations of the Multicurrency Borrowers under this Agreement in excess of its MB Contribution Amount, the other Multicurrency Borrowers shall reimburse the Paying Multicurrency Borrower in an amount equal to the excess of such payment over the Paying Multicurrency Borrower’s MB Contribution Amount, pro rata based on the respective net worths of such other Multicurrency Borrowers at the date enforcement under this Agreement is sought.

          13.07. Subrogation. Until the Obligations shall have been Paid In Full, each Borrower hereby agrees that it (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Obligations (under contract, Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable law, or otherwise) or any other right of indemnity, reimbursement or contribution, and (ii) hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank now have or may hereafter have against the other Borrowers, any endorser or any other Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any other Person, and each Borrower hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or Collateral given to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligations or any other liability of the other Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank.

          13.08. Subordination. Each Borrower agrees that any and all claims of such Borrower against the other Borrowers, any Guarantors or any endorser or other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinated to all of the Obligations. Notwithstanding any right of any Borrower to ask for, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from the other Borrowers, all rights and Liens of such Borrower, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the other Borrowers (whether constituting part of the Collateral or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders in those assets. Such Borrower shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been Paid In Full and any Commitments of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank under, or in respect of, the Credit Facilities have terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Borrower, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Borrower, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any Borrower is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any Borrower are sold, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any Indebtedness of any Borrower to any other Borrower (“Inter-Borrower Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application to the applicable Obligations, due or to become due, until such Obligations shall

have first been Paid In Full and all Commitments of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank under, or in respect of, each Credit Facility, have terminated. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Borrower such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Administrative Agent’s, such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s own name or in the name of such Borrower or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may deem reasonably necessary or reasonably advisable for the enforcement of this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and the Issuing Bank may vote, with respect to the Obligations owed to it, such proofs of claim in any such proceeding, receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Obligations. Except as permitted under Section 9.06(b), should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Borrower upon or with respect to the Inter-Borrower Indebtedness prior to the Payment In Full of all of the Obligations and the termination of all Commitments, such Borrower shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent in precisely the form received (accompanied by the endorsement or assignment of such Borrower where necessary), for application to the Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Borrower as the property of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Multicurrency Lender. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any Borrower fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders (or any of their respective officers or employees) are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Borrower agrees that until the Obligations have been Paid In Full and all Commitments of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank under or in respect of each Credit Facility have terminated, such Borrower will not assign or transfer to any Person any claim such Borrower has or may have against any other Borrower (other than in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents).

ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS

          14.01. Lender Assignments and Participations.

          (a) General. No assignments or participations of any Lender’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be made except in accordance with this Section 14.01.

          (b) Limitations on Assignments. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.01. Each assignment by a Lender shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) each assignment (other than to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible

Assignee (for the sake of clarity, no Person shall be considered an Eligible Assignee under any Credit Facility solely because of its Affiliation with any other Person to whom an assignment is concurrently being made with respect to the other Credit Facility) and in the case of an assignment of a Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall be satisfied with such assignee’s (or its Affiliates’) ability to fund in the Specified Foreign Currencies; (iii) each assignment of a Lender’s Commitment shall be an assignment of the assigning Lender’s (and, where applicable, its Affiliates’) Commitments in each Credit Facility in which such Lender (and, if applicable, its Affiliates) then hold Commitments and shall be allocated to such Credit Facilities as determined by such Lender (and, if applicable, its Affiliates) and consented to by the Administrative Agent; (iv) each assignment shall be in an amount such that, after giving effect to such assignment, the Eligible Assignee (and, if applicable, its Affiliates) shall hold aggregate Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 (provided, that more than one Lender (and, if applicable, its Affiliates) may be the assigning Lender under any such assignment) except if the Eligible Assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund or if such assignment shall constitute all the assigning Lender’s interest hereunder; and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, if such Eligible Assignee is not then a Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire, for its acceptance and recording in the Register. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and agreed to by the Administrative Agent and NMHG, (x) the assignee thereunder shall, in addition to any rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, if any, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder as if it were an original Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, the assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (h) of this Section 14.01.

          (c) The Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address in effect pursuant to Section 14.08 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of the Lenders under each Credit Facility, the principal amount of the Loans under each Credit Facility owing to each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall include an account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest or fees due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from NMHG Holding, NMHG or any Guarantor hereunder

and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and NMHG and each of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes hereof. The Register shall be available for inspection by NMHG or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (d) Fee. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (payable by the assigning Lender or the assignee, as shall be agreed between them), the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in compliance herewith and in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to NMHG and the other Lenders.

          (e) Information Regarding NMHG. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or proposed assignment pursuant to this Section 14.01, disclose to the assignee or proposed assignee any information relating to NMHG Holding, NMHG or any of NMHG’s Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by the Administrative Agent or by or on behalf of any Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such assignee or proposed assignee shall agree (for the Borrowers’ benefit) to preserve in accordance with Section 14.20 the confidentiality of any confidential information described therein.

          (f) Lenders’ Creation of Security Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights hereunder to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation, in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A; provided, however, such creation of a security interest shall not release such assigning Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such holder of a security interest for such Lender as a party hereto.

          (g) Assignments by an Issuing Bank. If the Issuing Bank (or its Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 14.01 and another Issuing Bank is obligated to Issue Letters of Credit or will become so obligated after such assignment becomes effective, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuing Bank’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.02 shall terminate and such Issuing Bank shall be an Issuing Bank hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit Issued prior to such date.

          (h) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more other financial institutions in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under and in respect of any and all facilities hereunder (including, without limitation, all or a portion of any or all of its Commitments hereunder and the Loans owing to it and its undivided interest in the Letters of Credit) to any Person (the “Participant”); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) NMHG Holding, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such

Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (iv) such Participant’s rights to agree or to restrict such Lender’s ability to agree to the modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or to the release of any Collateral covered by the Loan Documents, to consent to any action or failure to act by any party to any of the Loan Documents or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which any Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any Collateral, shall be limited to the right to consent to (A) reduction of the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on the Loans(s) subject to such participation (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof), (B) postponement of any scheduled date for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan(s) subject to such participation (except with respect to any modifications of the applicable provisions relating to the prepayments of Loans and other Obligations) and (C) release of any guarantor of the Obligations or all or any substantial portion of the Collateral except for any such release provided in Section 12.09(c). No holder of a participation in all or any part of the Loans shall be a “Lender” or a “Holder” for any purposes hereunder by reason of such participation; provided, however, that each holder of a participation shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender (including any right to receive payment) under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 4.01(f), 4.02(c), 4.02(e), 12.05, 14.02 and 14.05; provided, however, that all requests for any payments pursuant to such Sections shall be made by a Participant through the Lender granting such participation. The right of each holder of a participation to receive payment under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 4.01(f), 4.02(c), 4.02(e), 12.05, 14.02 and, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 14.06 as though it were a Lender, 14.05 shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the amounts actually incurred by such holder for which payment is provided under said Sections and (ii) the amounts that would have been payable under said Sections by the Borrowers to the Lender granting the participation in respect of the participated interest to such holder had such participation not been granted. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the identity of any holder of a participation.

          (i) Payment to Participants. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any participation, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be calculated and made in the manner and to the parties required hereby as if no such participation had been sold.

          14.02. Expenses.

          (a) Generally. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Sidley, Austin Brown & Wood LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisers, and other consultants and agents), incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution and interpretation hereof (including,

without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article V), the other Loan Documents and any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith and the making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any reasonable fees and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions); (iv) the ongoing administration hereof and of the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, the Property, any Borrower or any Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, the Property, any Borrower or any Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (H) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same.

          (b) After Default. The Borrowers further jointly and severally agree to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of any Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, the Property, any Borrower or any Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

          14.03. Indemnity. Each Domestic Borrower further jointly and severally agrees, and each Multicurrency Borrower further jointly and severally agrees, to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each and all of the Domestic Lenders (in the case of the Domestic Borrowers only), each and all of the Multicurrency Lender (in the case of the Multicurrency Borrowers only) and the Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of such Administrative Agent’s, Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or Affiliate’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives, consultants and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article V) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), in each case from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees)(including in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial

proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) this Agreement, the Proposal and Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such transactions are consummated, the making of the Loans, the issuance of and participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, the management of such Loans or Letters of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, the execution, delivery and/or performance of Currency Agreements or Interest Rate Contracts, or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (b) any Liabilities and Costs under Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law arising from or in connection with this Agreement, the Proposal and Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, or an act, event or transaction attendant thereto, the past, present or future operations of any Credit Party or any Borrower Subsidiary or any of their respective predecessors in interest, or, the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of any respective Property of any Credit Party or any Borrower Subsidiary, the Release or exposure to or presence or suspected Release, exposure to, or presence of any Contaminant at, on or from any respective current or former Property of any Credit Party or any Borrower Subsidiary, or other property of third parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, the Borrowers shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each applicable Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. Each Domestic Borrower jointly and severally agrees, and each Multicurrency Borrower jointly and severally agrees, not to assert any claim against any Indemnitee on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, or in any way in connection with, the Commitments, the Obligations or any other matters governed by this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

          14.04. Change in Accounting Principles. If any change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent Financial Statements is hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by NMHG Holding with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms found in Article IX and Article X, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants, standards and terms by NMHG Holding shall be the same after such change as if such change had not been made; provided, however, no change in GAAP that would affect the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders and NMHG Holding, so to reflect such change in accounting principles.

          14.05. Setoff. In addition to any Liens granted under the Loan Documents and any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and any Affiliate of any Lender or Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by each Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived) to combine accounts or to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of any Borrowers to such Lender, Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates, including, but not limited to, all Loans and Letters of Credit and all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection herewith, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the Administrative Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Article XI and even though such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender shall give the applicable Borrower notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 14.05 promptly upon the occurrence thereof provided that any failure to do so shall not limit any right of a Lender to take such action. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of any Credit Party or any Borrower Subsidiary now or hereafter maintained with such Lender, Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of such Lender or Issuing Bank.

          14.06. Ratable Sharing. The Lenders and the Issuing Bank agree among themselves that, except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document,

          (a) with respect to all amounts received by a Domestic Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, which are applicable to the payment of the Obligations (excluding (x) the fees described in Sections 2.02(g), 3.04, 3.05, 4.01(f) and 4.02 and (y) and amounts so received in respect of Currency Agreements and/or Interest Rate Contracts) equitable adjustment shall be made so that, in effect, (i) all such amounts with respect to the Domestic Obligations shall be shared among the Domestic Lenders and the Issuing Bank ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Domestic Facility and (ii) all such amounts with respect to the Multicurrency Obligations shall be shared among the Multicurrency Lender and the Issuing Bank ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Multicurrency Facility, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement of any or all of such Obligations (excluding (x) the fees described in Sections 2.02(g), 3.04, 3.05, 4.01(f) and 4.02 and (y) and amounts so received in respect of Currency Agreements and/or Interest Rate Contracts) or the Collateral, and

          (b) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker’s lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations held by it which is greater than the amount which such

Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participation shall be returned to such party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery.

Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 14.06 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including, subject to Section 14.05, the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent, the Domestic Lenders and the Issuing Bank further agree and acknowledge that in no event shall proceeds of the Collateral of the Multicurrency Borrowers, more than sixty-five percent (65.0%) of the Capital Stock of any Multicurrency Borrower or its Subsidiaries or amounts received from any Multicurrency Borrower as described herein be shared with any Domestic Lender or Issuing Bank for application on any of the Domestic Obligations.

          14.07. Amendments and Waivers.

          (a) General Provisions. Unless otherwise provided for or required in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision hereof shall be effective without the written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the Borrowers, and no termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. All amendments, modifications, waivers and consents not specifically reserved to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in Section 14.07(b), Section 14.07(c) and in any other provisions of this Agreement shall require only the approval of the Requisite Lenders. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          (e) Administrative Agent Authority. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.07, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including this Article XIII, unless made in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action; and the order of priority set forth in clauses first and second and the second clause first of Section 3.02(b)(i)(B) and clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 3.02(b)(ii). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that a Borrower shall have requested, in writing, that any Lender agree to an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any particular provision or provisions hereof, and such Lender shall have failed to state, in writing, that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests (it being understood that any such statement of agreement may be subject to satisfactory documentation and other conditions specified in such statement) within thirty (30) days of receipt of such request (or such other time period as may be designated in such amendment, modification, waiver or consent), then such Lender shall be deemed to have disagreed with such request. Furthermore, in the event that any Lender fails to agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or consent requiring the unanimous approval of the Lenders pursuant to Section 14.07(c), at the joint request of any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders who have so agreed shall have the right (but not the obligation) to, or to cause an Eligible Assignee to, purchase from such Lender (at the face amount thereof) all Obligations and Commitments held by such Lender. Each Lender agrees the if the Administrative Agent or any Borrower exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver all agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment as set forth in Section 14.01. Any purchase of such Lender’s Commitments and all other Obligations owing to it must (i) occur within 30 Business Days from the date that such Lender refuses to execute any amendment, waiver or consent which requires the written consent of all of the Lenders and to which the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Borrowers have agreed and (ii) include an amount payable to such Lender which is sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, expense or liability as a result of any such purchase under this Section 14.07(e) which arises out of, or is in connection with, any funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a Fixed Rate Loan.

          14.08. Notices.

          (a) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice, consent or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied, sent by e-mail, or sent by courier service or the United States mails (or with respect to the Multicurrency Borrowers, the mails of their country of residence) and shall be deemed to have been given (i) four (4) days following deposit in the United States mails (or with respect to the Multicurrency Borrowers, the mails of its country of residence), with

proper postage prepaid, (ii) upon delivery thereof to a courier service, (iii) when delivered in person or (iv) upon confirmation of receipt of a telecopy or of an email; provided, that no notices with respect to a request for a new, or conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit or providing notice of any Default or Event of Default may be delivered by e-mail. Notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II, III or IV shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the addresses, telecopy numbers and, if so specified, e-mail addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 14.08) shall be as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereof or the signature page of any applicable Assignment and Acceptance, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may refer the relevant Persons (by fax, letter, telecopy, or, if so specified, e-mail) to a web site (including “e-Disclosure”, the Administrative Agent’s delivery system that is part of CGMI Direct, Global Fixed Income’s primary web portal) and to the location of the relevant information on such web site in discharge of such notification or delivery obligation provided that such notification or delivery obligation shall not be discharged by the Administrative Agent referring a Person to a web site if such Person has previously provided written notice to the Administrative agent that it does not wish to receive notices via a web site. Each Borrower acknowledges that although such web sites may be secured with a dual firewall and a user identification/password authorization system, and secured through a single user per deal authorization method whereby each user may access such web site only on a deal-by-deal basis, distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.

          (b) The Domestic Borrowers jointly and severally agree, and the Multicurrency Borrowers jointly and severally agree, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee (with respect to the applicable Credit Facility) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to any such Indemnitee) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any manner relating to or arising out of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in good faith in reliance on any notice or other written communication in the form of a telecopy or facsimile purporting to be from a Borrower; provided that no Borrower shall have any obligation under this Section 14.08(b) to an Indemnitee with respect to any indemnified matter caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          14.09. Survival of Warranties and Agreements. All representations and warranties made herein and all obligations of the Borrowers in respect of taxes, indemnification and expense reimbursement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, the making and repayment of the Loans, the issuance and discharge of Letters of Credit hereunder, the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Commitments hereunder and shall not be limited in any way by the passage of time or occurrence of any event and shall expressly cover time periods when the Administrative Agent,

the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders may have come into possession or control of any of the Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ Property.

          14.10. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

          14.11. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrowers or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or any of such Persons receives payment from the proceeds of the Collateral or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

          14.12. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          14.13. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or be given any substantive effect.

          14.14. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          14.15. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Borrower, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any special, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Borrower, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

          14.16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank. The rights hereunder and the interest herein of the Borrowers may not be assigned or otherwise transferred without the written consent of all Lenders. Any attempted assignment without such written consent shall be void. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided herein and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          14.17. Certain Consents and Waivers.

          (a) Personal Jurisdiction.

     (i) EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUING BANK, AND THE BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER APPEALS OF MATTERS HEARD IN SUCH COURTS, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS CT CORPORATION SYSTEM AT 111 EIGHTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10011, AS ITS PROCESS AGENT (THE “PROCESS AGENT”) FOR SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT. EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUING BANK, AND THE BORROWERS AGREES THAT A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE 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. EACH OF THE BORROWERS WAIVES IN ALL DISPUTES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT CONSIDERING THE DISPUTE.

     (ii) EACH OF THE BORROWERS AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST SUCH PERSON OR ITS PROPERTY IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION TO ENABLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE LENDERS TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER. EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIMS IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE ISSUING BANK TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE ISSUING BANK. EACH OF THE BORROWERS WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER MAY COMMENCE A PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.

          (b) Service of Process. EACH OF THE BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE PROCESS AGENT (IN THE CASE OF ANY BORROWER) OR THE RELEVANT BORROWER’S NOTICE ADDRESS SPECIFIED PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.08, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH OF THE BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS) WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

          (c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, THE LENDERS, AND THE BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG ANY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, OR THE BORROWERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. ANY SUCH PERSON MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF

THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

          14.18. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Inconsistencies. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective against NMHG Holding, the Borrowers, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent on the date hereof. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern.

          14.19. Limitation on Agreements. All agreements between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank in the Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no event shall any of the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents be directly or indirectly secured (within the meaning of Regulation U) by Margin Stock.

          14.20. Confidentiality. Subject to Section 14.01(e), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank shall hold all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements hereof and identified as such by any Borrower in accordance with safe and sound banking practices and in any event may make disclosure reasonably required by a bona fide offeree, transferee or assignee (or Participant) in connection with the contemplated transfer (or participation), or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof, or pursuant to legal process, or to its accountants, lawyers and other advisors who shall be informed of the confidential nature of such information, and shall require any such offeree or assignee (or Participant) to agree (and require any of its offerees, assignees or Participants to agree) to comply with this Section 14.20. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by any Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary; provided, however, each offeree shall be required to agree that if it does not become an assignee, transferee (or Participant) it shall return all materials furnished to it by such Borrower or Subsidiary thereof in connection herewith. In the event the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank is requested or required by law to disclose any of such information, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank agrees to provide NMHG with prompt notice thereof; provided, however, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank may, without restriction hereunder, including the providing of such notice, provide any and all of such information to any of the agencies or other governmental entities which regularly regulate its ability to engage in any of its businesses under state or federal law. Any and all confidentiality agreements entered into between the Administrative Agent, and Lender or the Issuing Bank and any Borrower shall survive this Agreement.

          14.21. Currency Conversions.

          (a) Place and Currency of Payment. If any Obligation is payable in a currency other than Dollars (a “Non-USD Currency”) and/or at a place other than the United

States, and such payment is not made as and when agreed, the applicable Borrowers, jointly and severally, will, upon the request of the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank, either (i) make payment in such Non-USD Currency and at the place where such Obligation is payable, or (ii) pay the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender or Issuing Bank, in Dollars at the address of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.08 hereof. In the event of a payment pursuant to clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrowers will pay the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the equivalent of the amount of such Obligation in Dollars calculated at the rate of exchange at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank may buy such Non-USD Currency in New York, New York on the date any applicable Borrower makes such payment.

          (b) Judgment Currency.

     (i) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Notes in any currency (the “Original Currency”) to another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the Spot Rate on the second Business Day preceding that on which judgment is given.

     (ii) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note held by any Lender, as applicable, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against any loss resulting from such purchase or from the inability to effect such purchase, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

          14.22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes the Proposal and Fee Letter (except for provisions therein specifically referred to herein) and all prior agreements and understandings, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

          14.23. Advice of Counsel. The Borrowers and each Lender and the Issuing Bank understand that the Administrative Agent’s counsel represents only the Administrative Agent’s and its Affiliates’ interests and that the Borrowers, other Lenders and other Issuing Bank (if any)

are advised to obtain their own counsel. The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the other Holders that it has discussed this Agreement with its counsel.

          14.24. Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner. This Loan Agreement places no duties on the Sole Lead Arranger or Sole Bookrunner in their capacities as such.

          14.25. Termination of the Multicurrency Facility. Upon the Payment in Full of the Multicurrency Obligations and the permanent reduction to zero and termination of the Multicurrency Commitment by the Multicurrency Borrowers in accordance with Section 3.01 and as permitted pursuant to Section 9.01(m), (a) all references herein to Multicurrency Borrowers, Multicurrency Commitment, Foreign Guarantors, Multicurrency Loans, Overdraft Loans, Euro Loans, the Euro Subfacility, Sterling Loans, the Sterling Subfacility and any other defined terms in which “Multicurrency”, “Euro”, “Overdraft” or “Sterling” is part of such defined term’s name and all derivations thereof shall have no effect except to the extent specifically referenced to survive such Payment in Full of the Obligations, (b) the Multicurrency Borrowers shall continue to constitute “Borrower Subsidiaries” for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents but shall no longer constitute “Foreign Credit Parties”, “Credit Parties”, “Borrowers” or “Guarantors”, as applicable, (c) the Foreign Collateral shall be released in accordance with Section 12.02(i)(C), (d) the Multicurrency Borrower Guaranties and Foreign Guaranties shall be terminated except to the extent specifically referenced to survive such Payment in Full of the Obligations, and shall no longer constitute “Loan Documents” and the Foreign Guarantors shall no longer constitute “Guarantors” or “Foreign Credit Parties”, and (e) the Multicurrency Borrower Guaranty shall remain in effect for any Obligations which survive such Payment in Full.

          14.26. Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that upon (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the parties hereto and (ii) satisfaction (or waiver by the aforementioned parties) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01, the terms and conditions of the Previous Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded, and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation of the Previous Agreement or the Indebtedness incurred thereunder. With respect to any date or time period occurring and ending prior to the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties to the Previous Agreement shall be governed by the Previous Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined therein), and with respect to any date or time period occurring and ending on or after the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined herein). The Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall have full power and authority to allocate the Domestic Commitments and Multicurrency Commitments of the Lenders as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date such that, immediately after giving effect to such allocations on the Closing Date, each Lender shall hold the “Domestic Commitment”, the “Multicurrency Commitment” and the “Domestic Commitment plus Additional Multicurrency Participation Obligation” (and corresponding ratable shares of such relevant Commitments and participation obligations in the Multicurrency Facility, as applicable) set forth next to its name on Schedule 1.01.1. The Lenders further agree to make all assignments and/or transfers, and hereby consent to any such assignments and transfers,

which may be necessary (including, without limitation, assignments of funded obligations) to effect the allocations described in the preceding sentence.
