(a) Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Revolving Credit Advances to the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on the signature pages hereof or, if such Lender has entered into any Assignment and Acceptance, set forth for such Lender in the Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d), as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or increased pursuant to Section 2.07(c) (such Lender’s “Commitment”); provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be deemed used from time to time to the extent of the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bid Advances then outstanding and such deemed use of the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be allocated among the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments (such deemed use of the aggregate amount of the Commitments being a “Competitive Bid Reduction”); and provided, further, that the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances plus the Aggregate L/C Exposure shall not at any time exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

(b) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, (i) an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate amount of a proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing requested by the Company exceeds the aggregate amount of Competitive Bid Advances offered to be made by the Lenders and accepted by the Company in respect of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, if such Competitive Bid Borrowing is made on the same date as such Revolving Credit Borrowing or (ii) the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments, after giving effect to any Competitive Bid Reductions then in effect) and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments.

(c) Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment and the limitation set forth in Section 2.01(a), each Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to Section 2.12 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

(New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Borrowing Subsidiary) to the Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier or email. Each such notice (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing”) shall be by telecopier or email, confirmed promptly by hard copy, in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Revolving Credit

Advance and (v) name of the relevant Borrower (which shall be the Company or a Borrowing Subsidiary).

(ii) Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time), in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(iii) After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such same day funds available to the relevant Borrower at such Borrower’s account at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02, provided, however, that the Agent shall first apply such funds, to the extent required, to reimburse any L/C Payment that has not theretofore been reimbursed.

(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Company may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing is less than $10,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.10 and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than six separate Revolving Credit Borrowings.

(c) Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the relevant Borrower. In the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Company shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Revolving Credit Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) in the case of

5-Year Credit Agreement

-16-

such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(a) Each Lender severally agrees that each Borrower may make Competitive Bid Borrowings under this Section 2.03 from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the date occurring 7 days prior to the Termination Date in the manner set forth below; provided that, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the aggregate amount of the Advances then outstanding plus the Aggregate L/C Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders (computed without regard to any Competitive Bid Reduction).

(b) The Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Borrowing Subsidiary) may request a Competitive Bid Borrowing under this Section 2.03 by delivering to the Agent, by telecopier or email, confirmed promptly by hard copy, a notice of a Competitive Bid Borrowing (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, specifying therein (i) the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (ii) the aggregate amount of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (iii) the maturity date for repayment of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (which maturity date may not be earlier than the date occurring 7 days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing or later than the Termination Date), (iv) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto, (v) the name of the Borrower, and (vi) any other terms to be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing, not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) (A) at least one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if the Company shall specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing that the rates of interest to be offered by the Lenders shall be fixed rates per annum (the Advances comprising any such Competitive Bid Borrowing being referred to herein as “Fixed Rate Advances”) and (B) at least four Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if the Company shall instead specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing another basis to be used by the Lenders in determining the rates of interest to be offered by them (the Advances comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing being referred to herein as “LIBO Rate Advances”).

If the Company accepts any offers made by Lenders pursuant to paragraph (c) above, such offers shall be accepted in the order of the lowest to highest interest rates or, if two or more Lenders offer to make Competitive Bid Advances at the same interest rate, such offers, if any, shall be accepted in proportion to the amount offered by each such Lender at such interest rate notwithstanding any minimum specified by such Lender in its notice given pursuant to paragraph (c) above.

(ii) No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(x) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular; or

Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of any L/C Payment by an Issuing Lender if any Borrower receives notice thereof by 9:00 a.m. on such date, and otherwise on the next Business Day (the “Honor Date”), such Borrower agrees to reimburse such Issuing Lender directly in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Payment.

(ii) If any Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Lender by such time, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the unreimbursed amount of such L/C Payment (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof. In such event, such Borrower shall be irrevocably deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Advances to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an aggregate amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01(b). Any notice given by an Issuing Lender or the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Issuing Lender.

(iv) The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unreimbursed amount of any L/C Payment to the relevant Issuing Lender, for each day from the date of such L/C Payment until such L/C Payment is reimbursed or refinanced in full as herein provided, at the Base Rate from time to time, payable on demand.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make the payments provided in clause (iii) above to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any L/C Payment shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against an Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or termination of the Commitments or any of

A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) At any time after an Issuing Lender has made an L/C Payment and has received funds from a Lender in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(iii), if the Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Agent.

(c) The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Lender for each L/C Payment under each Letter of Credit issued for account of such Borrower shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

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

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

(iii) any sight draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make an L/C Payment under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of

5-Year Credit Agreement

-23-

Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law; or

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

(d) Each Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in making any L/C Payment under a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lenders, nor the Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Related Document. None of the Issuing Lenders, nor the Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lenders, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.05(c); provided, however, that anything in such clauses or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages suffered by a Borrower which were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(e) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, either the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) or, at the option of the Company, the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (“UCP”), as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.06. Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, irrespective of usage, from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other

5-Year Credit Agreement

-24-

Lender until the Termination Date (on a daily basis), at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date, commencing on March 31, 2006.

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

(c) Utilization Fee. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a utilization fee on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Advances for each day on which the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances plus the Aggregate L/C Exposure exceeds 50% of the aggregate Commitments, from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date (on a daily basis), at the Applicable Utilization Fee rate, payable on each day on which interest is payable under Section 2.09, and on the Termination Date.

(d) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for the pro rata account of each Lender based on the respective Commitments of the Lenders, a commission on the average daily Available Amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding from time to time, at a rate per annum equal to the Letter of Credit Commission Rate, payable in arrears quarterly on each Quarterly Date and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date after the date hereof.

(ii) The Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, (x) a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Termination Date, in an amount equal to 0.10% per annum of the average daily Available Amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) such customary fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as may be agreed in writing between the Company and such Issuing Lender from time to time.

SECTION 2.07. Termination, Reduction or Increase of the Commitments.

(a) The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided further that (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding, plus the Aggregate L/C Exposure, and (y) once terminated, a portion of a Commitment shall not be reinstated except pursuant to Section 2.07(c).

(b) If any Lender shall make a demand under Section 2.13 or 2.16 or if the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall have been suspended pursuant to Section 2.14, the Company shall have the right, upon at least ten Business Days’ notice, to

5-Year Credit Agreement

-25-

terminate in full the Commitment of such Lender or to demand that such Lender assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.07. If the Company shall elect to terminate in full the Commitment of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07(b), the Company shall pay to such Lender, on the effective date of such Commitment termination, an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto.

(c) (i) Not more than once in any calendar year, the Company may propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (a “Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase”) in the manner set forth below, provided that:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing either as of the date on which the Company shall notify the Agent of its request to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments or as of the related Increase Date (as hereinafter defined); and

(2) after giving effect to any such increase, the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not exceed $800,000,000 (and no increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments hereunder shall result in a change in the Letter of Credit Facility Amount).

(ii) The Company may request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments by delivering to the Agent a notice (an “Increase Notice”; the date of delivery thereof to the Agent being the “Increase Notice Date”) specifying (1) the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase, (2) the proposed date (the “Increase Date”) on which the Commitments would be so increased (which Increase Date may not be fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days after the Increase Notice Date) and (3) the New Lenders, if any, to whom the Company desires to offer the opportunity to commit to all or a portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase. The Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Lender of the Company’s request by sending each Lender a copy of such notice.

(iii) Not later than the date five days after the Increase Notice Date, the Agent shall notify each New Lender, if any, identified in the related Increase Notice of the opportunity to commit to all or any portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase. Each such New Lender may irrevocably commit to all or a portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase (such New Lender’s “Proposed New Commitment”) by notifying the Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company) before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date that is 10 days after the Increase Notice Date; provided that:

(1) the Proposed New Commitment of each New Lender shall be in an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

(2) each New Lender that submits a Proposed New Commitment shall enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Agent pursuant to which such New Lender shall undertake a Commitment (and, if any such New Lender

5-Year Credit Agreement

-26-

is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date), and shall pay to the Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

(iv) If the aggregate Proposed New Commitments of all of the New Lenders shall be less than the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase, then (unless the Company otherwise requests) the Agent shall, on or prior to the date that is 15 days after the Increase Notice Date, notify each Lender of the opportunity to so commit to all or any portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase not committed to by New Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii). Each Lender may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to commit to all or a portion of such remainder (such Lender’s “Proposed Increased Commitment”) by notifying the Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company) no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date five days before the Increase Date.

(v) If the aggregate amount of Proposed New Commitments and Proposed Increased Commitments (such aggregate amount, the “Total Committed Increase”) equals or exceeds $25,000,000, then, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.07(c)(i):

(1) effective on and as of the Increase Date, the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be increased by the lesser of the proposed aggregate Committed Increase and the Total Committed Increase and shall be allocated among the New Lenders and the Lenders as provided in Section 2.07(c)(vi); and

(2) on the Increase Date, if any Revolving Loans are then outstanding, the Company shall borrow Revolving Loans from all or certain of the Lenders and/or (subject to compliance by the Company with Section 8.04(d)) prepay Revolving Loans of all or certain of the Lenders such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, the Types and Interest Periods thereof) shall be held by the Lenders (including for such purposes New Lenders) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.

If the Total Committed Increase is less than $25,000,000, then the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not be changed pursuant to this Section 2.07(c).

(vi) The Total Committed Increase shall be allocated among New Lenders having Proposed New Commitments and Lenders having Proposed Increased Commitments as follows:

(1) If the Total Committed Increase shall be at least $25,000,000 and less than or equal to the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase, then (x) the initial Commitment of each New Lender shall be such New Lender’s Proposed New Commitment and (y) the Commitment of each Lender shall be increased by such Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment.

(2) If the Total Committed Increase shall be greater than the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase, then the Total Committed Increase shall be allocated:

5-Year Credit Agreement

-27-

(x) first to New Lenders (to the extent of their respective Proposed New Commitments) in such a manner as the Company shall agree; and

(y) then to Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the ratio of each Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment (if any) to the aggregate amount of the Proposed Increased Commitments of all of the Lenders.

(vii) No increase in the Commitments contemplated hereby shall become effective until the Agent shall have received (x) promissory notes in respect of the Revolving Loans payable to each New Lender and each other Lender whose Commitment is being increased that, in either case, shall have requested such promissory notes at least two Business Days prior to the Increase Date, and (y) evidence satisfactory to the Agent (including an update of the opinion of counsel provided pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(v)) that such increases in the Commitments, and borrowings thereunder, have been duly authorized.

SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances; Evidence of Indebtedness; Extension of Termination Date.

(a) The Company and each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Agent. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 8.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(c) The Company may by written notice to the Agent, not more than 90 nor less than 60 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, request that the Termination Date then in effect be extended for a further period of one year. Such request shall be irrevocable and

5-Year Credit Agreement

-28-

binding upon the Company. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request. If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it will notify the Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so not more than 30 nor less than 20 days before said date. The Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept (or fails to respond to) the Company’s request for extension of the Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Termination Date theretofore in effect (without regard to extension by other Lenders). The Extending Lenders, or any of them, shall then have the right to increase their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount up to the amount of all Declining Lenders’ Commitments, and, to the extent of any shortfall, the Company shall have the right to require any Declining Lender to assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Company that agrees to accept all of such rights and obligations (a “Replacement Lender”), provided that (i) such increase and/or such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 8.07, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of an amount equal to the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Declining Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such assignment and all other amounts payable to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such increase shall be effective on the Termination Date theretofore in effect and any such assignment shall be effective on the date specified by the Company and agreed to by the Replacement Lender and the Agent. If (i) Extending Lenders and/or Replacement Lenders provide Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to 51% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the Termination Date in effect at the time the Company requests such extension, and (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to said Termination Date, the Termination Date shall be extended by one year (the “New Termination Date”) (except that, if the date on which the Termination Date is to be extended is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) from the effective date set forth in an Extension Agreement, in substantially the form in Exhibit A-3 hereto, which has been duly completed and signed by the Company, the Agent and the Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders party thereto; and (iii) the Agent shall notify the Issuing Lenders of the New Termination Date and the Lenders whose Termination Dates are the New Termination Date and each Issuing Lender shall determine whether or not, acting in its sole discretion, it shall elect to extend its Termination Date to the New Termination Date and shall so notify the Agent, at which time such Issuing Lender’s obligation to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05 shall be extended to the date 10 Business Days before the New Termination Date. Such Extension Agreement shall be executed and delivered no earlier than 30 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect and the effective date shall be no earlier than 29 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect. No extension of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such party executes and delivers a counterpart of such Extension Agreement.

SECTION 2.09. Interest on Revolving Credit Advances and Letters of Credit Advances. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made to such Borrower from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time

5-Year Credit Agreement

-29-

to time, payable in arrears quarterly on each Quarterly Date during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

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

SECTION 2.10. Interest Rate Determination.

(a) If the Eurodollar Rate does not appear on Page 3750 of the Telerate Service (or any successor page), each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurodollar Rate. If the Eurodollar Rate does not appear on said Page 3750 (or any successor page), and if any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.09, and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under Section 2.09(b).

(b) If, due to a major disruption in the interbank funding market with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) If the Company shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders and the Company will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

(d) If the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

5-Year Credit Agreement

-30-

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

(f) If the Eurodollar Rate does not appear on Page 3750 of the Telerate Service (or any successor page) and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances,

(i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Company and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,

(ii) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

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

SECTION 2.11. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances. The Company may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.14, Convert all Revolving Credit Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Revolving Credit Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company.

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit Advances. The Company may, upon notice not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such payment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, and two Business Days’ notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Company shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Revolving Credit Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in

5-Year Credit Agreement

-31-

an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(d).

SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority that would be complied with generally by similarly situated banks acting reasonably (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Company shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to request compensation under this paragraph with respect to any Competitive Bid Advance if the change giving rise to such request was applicable to such Lender at the time of submission of such Lender’s offer to make such Competitive Bid Advance.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental or regulatory authority which becomes effective after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender (including any Issuing Lender) or any corporation controlling such Lender and the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Advances or participation in Letters of Credit or commitment to lend or, in the case of an Issuing Lender, issue Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of this type by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Advances or participation in Letters of Credit or commitment to lend or issue Letters of Credit hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes as to the calculations therein, absent manifest error. Such certificate shall be in reasonable detail and shall certify that the claim for additional amounts referred to therein is generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of similarly situated customers of such Lender whose transactions with such Lender are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to such payment, but such Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.

5-Year Credit Agreement

-32-

SECTION 2.14. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender (including any Issuing Lender) shall notify the Agent (and provide to the Company an opinion of counsel to the effect) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances hereunder, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance, as the case may be, of such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.09(a), as the case may be, and (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and such Lender that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and such Lender shall make the Base Rate Advances in the amount and on the dates that it would have been requested to make Eurodollar Rate Advances had no such suspension been in effect.

SECTION 2.15. Payments and Computations.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees or utilization fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.05, 2.06(b), 2.07(b), 2.13, 2.16 or 8.04(d) to be distributed to the respective parties entitled thereto) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate and of facility fees, letter of credit fees under Section 2.06(d) and of utilization fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or facility fees or usage fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest

5-Year Credit Agreement

-33-

or facility fee, letter of credit fees under Section 2.06(d) or utilization fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that a Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

(a) Each Lender is exempt from any withholding imposed under the laws of the United States in respect of any fees, interest or other payments to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement or any promissory notes issued hereunder (the “Income”) because (i) the Lender is organized under the laws of the United States; (ii) the Income is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States within the meaning of Section 871 of the Internal Revenue Code; or (iii) the Income is eligible for an exemption by reason of a tax treaty. The Agent is exempt from any withholding tax imposed under the laws of the United States in respect of the Income because the Agent is organized under the laws of the United States.

(b) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Foreign Lender and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company or the Agent, provide the Agent and the relevant Borrower with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Foreign Lender is exempt or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on any Income that is the subject of such forms. If the form provided by a Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, or in excess of the rate applicable to the Foreign Lender assignor on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Foreign Lender, in the case of each other Foreign Lender, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes as defined in Section 2.16(c).

(c) Based on Section 2.16(a) and (b), any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under any promissory notes issued hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present United States federal income withholding taxes imposed on a

5-Year Credit Agreement

-34-

Foreign Lender under the Internal Revenue Code (such withholding taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(d) If, as a result of the enactment, promulgation, execution or ratification of, or any change in or amendment to, any United States law or any tax treaty (or in the application or official interpretation of any law or any tax treaty) that occurs on or after the date a Foreign Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement (a “Change in Law”), a Foreign Lender cannot comply with Section 2.16(b) or, if despite such compliance, any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any Income, then: (i) the sum payable to such Foreign Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions for such Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Foreign Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower shall be entitled to pay any Taxes in any lawful manner so as to reduce any deductions and such Foreign Lender shall to the extent it is reasonably able provide any documentation or file any forms as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service or any other foreign governmental agency. In addition, if any Foreign Lender or the Agent (in lieu of such Foreign Lender), as the case may be, is required to pay directly any Taxes as a result of a Change in Law because a Borrower cannot or does not legally or timely do so, the Company shall indemnify such Foreign Lender or Agent for payment of such Taxes, without duplication of, or increase in, the amount of Taxes otherwise due to the Foreign Lender.

(e) In addition, the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (excluding any income or franchise taxes, business taxes or capital taxes of any nature) that arise from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). If a Lender is required to pay directly Other Taxes because a Borrower cannot or does not legally or timely do so, the Company shall indemnify such Lender for such payment of Other Taxes.

(f) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or foreign withholding taxes, the Company shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. Prior to making any payment hereunder by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person (a “Foreign Payment”), such Borrower shall determine that no foreign withholding taxes are payable in respect thereof, and at its expense, shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent, in either case stating that such Foreign Payment is exempt from or not subject to foreign withholding taxes. Each Lender shall cooperate with each Borrower’s efforts described in this subsection by providing to the extent reasonably within its means any forms requested by such Borrower substantiating an exemption from foreign withholding taxes required by any governmental agency. For purposes of this subsection (f), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meaning specified in Section 7701 of the

5-Year Credit Agreement

-00-

Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Code. If, as a result of the enactment, promulgation, execution or ratification of, or any change in or amendment to, any applicable foreign law or any tax treaty (or in the application or official interpretation of any law or any tax treaty) that occurs on or after the date a tax opinion is rendered pursuant to the terms of this subsection, and which renders such tax opinion incorrect as to the absence of any foreign withholding tax (a “Foreign Change in Law”), any Borrower shall be required to deduct any foreign withholding taxes from or in respect of any Income, then: (i) the sum payable to the applicable Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions for foreign withholding taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower shall be entitled to pay any foreign withholding taxes in any lawful manner so as to reduce any deductions and such Lender shall to the extent it is reasonably able provide any documentation or file any forms as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service or any other foreign governmental agency. In addition, if any Lender is required to pay directly any foreign withholding tax in respect of any Foreign Payments made pursuant to this Agreement because a Borrower cannot or does not legally or timely do so, the Company shall indemnify such Lender for payment of such tax.

(g) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to comply with the requirements of subsection (b) or (f) relating to certain forms intended to reduce withholding taxes (other than if such failure is due to a Change in Law or a Foreign Change in Law), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (d) or (f).

(h) Upon a Change in Law or the imposition of any foreign withholding tax in respect of Foreign Payments, a Lender shall, upon the written request of and at the expense of the Company, use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such taxes that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause the imposition on such Lender of any material legal or regulatory burdens.

(i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder until the applicable statute of limitations relating to the payment of any Taxes under Section 2.16(d) has expired.

(j) Any request by any Lender for payment of any amount under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certification that such Lender’s claim for said amount is generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of similarly situated customers of such Lender whose transactions with such Lender are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to such payment, but such Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.

SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or

5-Year Credit Agreement

-36-

otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.13, 2.16 or 8.04(d)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances or the owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.18. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and the Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Company agrees that such proceeds shall be used) for general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including commercial paper backstop.

SECTION 2.19. Borrowings by Borrowing Subsidiaries; Substitution of Borrower.

(a) The Company may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more Subsidiaries (including the Guarantor) as Borrowers hereunder by furnishing to the Agent a letter (a “Designation Letter”) in duplicate, in substantially the form of Exhibit D, duly completed and executed by the Company and such Subsidiary. Upon any such designation of a Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a Borrower entitled to borrow Revolving Credit Advances and Competitive Bid Advances and to request the issuance of Letters of Credit on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) If all principal of and interest on all Advances made to any Borrowing Subsidiary have been paid in full, the Company may terminate the status of such Borrowing Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Agent a letter (a “Termination Letter”) in substantially the form of Exhibit F, duly completed and executed by the Company. Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt by the Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders, whereupon the Lenders shall, upon payment in full of all amounts owing by such Borrower hereunder, promptly deliver to the Company (through the Agent) the promissory notes, if any, of such former Borrower. If at the time of such termination any Letter of Credit is outstanding for account of such Borrowing Subsidiary, the Company shall, automatically upon the effectiveness of such termination, be deemed to have assumed, and to have agreed to pay and perform, as primary obligor, all of the obligations of such Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder and under any L/C Related

5-Year Credit Agreement

-37-

Documents relating to such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Borrower shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery (including without limitation any obligation arising thereafter in respect of such Borrower under Section 2.13 or 2.16) or (ii) the obligations of the Company under Article IX with respect to any such unpaid obligations; provided, that if the status of such Borrowing Subsidiary has been terminated as aforesaid because the Company has sold or transferred its interest in such Subsidiary, and the Company so certifies to the Agent at the time of delivery of such Termination Letter, and subject to payment of said principal and interest, (i) such Subsidiary shall, automatically upon the effectiveness of the delivery of such Termination Letter and certification, cease to have any obligation under this Agreement and (ii) the Company shall automatically be deemed to have unconditionally assumed, as primary obligor, and hereby agrees to pay and perform, all of such obligations.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Company may, at any time when there are no Advances outstanding hereunder and upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice, irrevocably elect to terminate its right to be a Borrower hereunder as of the date (which shall be a Business Day) specified in such Substitution Letter (the “Substitution Date”) and designate the Guarantor as a Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Agent (x) a letter (a “Substitution Letter”), in substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed and executed by the Company and the Guarantor, (y) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, and a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Guarantor, each dated the Substitution Date, stating that:

(i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 (except the representations set forth in the last sentence of subsection (e) thereof and in subsection (f) thereof (other than clause (ii) thereof)) are correct in all material respects on and as of the Substitution Date, as though made on and as of such date, and

(ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such designation, that constitutes a Default;

and (z) the Agent shall have received such other corporate documents, resolutions and legal opinions relating to the foregoing as it, or any Lender through the Agent, may reasonably request. If at the time of such termination any Letter of Credit is outstanding for the account of the Company, the Guarantor shall, automatically upon the effectiveness of such termination, be deemed to have assumed, and to have agreed to pay and perform, as primary obligor, all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and under all L/C Related Documents relating to such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the obligation of any Lender to make or continue Advances as, or Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances is suspended pursuant to Section 2.14, then, upon the written request of the Company, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such

5-Year Credit Agreement

-38-

Lender, such designations or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or would cause such Lender not to be subject to such suspension, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause imposition on such Lender of any material legal or regulatory burdens or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and, with respect to Lenders, the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Advance, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the

payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.07(e), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Advances to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and the Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of any SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Advances and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) Each Lender may, upon notice to the Agent and the Company, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any promissory note issued or assigned to it hereunder, (iv) the Borrowers, the Guarantor, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.

(g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Loan Party or any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties or the Borrowers received by it from such Lender.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or any promissory note issued to such Lender hereunder (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

[FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTOR]

March 17, 2006

The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.
Bottling Group, LLC
Credit Agreement dated as of March [•], 2006
(000) 000-0000

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and Bottling Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor” and, together with the Borrower, the “Companies”), in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of March [•], 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Guarantor, the lending institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to paragraph (g)(v) of Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including:

	i.		the Credit Agreement,

	ii.		the articles of incorporation of the Borrower, as amended,

	iii.		the by-laws of the Borrower, as amended,

	iv.		the limited liability company agreement of the Guarantor, as amended, and

	v.		the certificate of formation of the Guarantor, as amended.

We have also relied, with respect to certain factual matters, on the representations and warranties of the Companies contained in the Credit Agreement and have assumed compliance by the Companies with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed (a) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by all parties thereto (including the Companies), (b) the genuineness of all signatures, (c) that, except as addressed in our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 below, each of the Companies has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, (d) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (e) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and (f) that the execution and delivery by each of the

Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel of the Company and the Guarantor

-2-

Companies of the Credit Agreement and the performance by each of the Companies of its obligations thereunder (i) do not violate any law, rule or regulation, other than those addressed in our opinion set forth in paragraph 3 below, (ii) do not require any authorization, approval or other action by, or notice to or filing with, any governmental authority, other than those addressed in our opinion set forth in paragraph 5 below, and (iii) do not result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon either Company or its assets.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications hereinafter set forth, we are of opinion as follows:

1. Based solely on a certificate from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Borrower is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Borrower has all necessary corporate power to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder.

2. Based solely on a certificate from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Guarantor is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Guarantor has all necessary limited liability company power to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3. The execution and delivery by each Company of the Credit Agreement and the performance by such Company of its obligations thereunder do not violate (i) the articles of incorporation or the by-laws of the Company or the limited liability company agreement or certificate of formation of the Guarantor, or (ii) any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America or the State of New York or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

4. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Company, enforceable against such Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications: (i) insofar as provisions contained in the Credit Agreement provide for indemnification or limitations on liability, the enforceability thereof may be limited by public policy considerations, (ii) the availability of a decree for specific performance or an injunction is subject to the discretion of the court requested to issue any such decree or injunction and (iii) we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York where any Lender may be located or where enforcement of the Credit Agreement may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

5. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States Federal or New York governmental authority is required to be made or obtained by either Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Company of the Credit Agreement, other than (i) such reports to United States governmental authorities regarding international capital and foreign currency transactions as may be required

Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel of the Company and the Guarantor

pursuant to 31 C.F.R. Part 128, (ii) those that have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or as to which the failure to be made or obtained or to be in full force and effect would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (iii) such registrations, filings and approvals that may be required because of the legal or regulatory status of any Lender or because of any other facts specifically pertaining to any Lender.

We express no opinion herein as to any provision in the Credit Agreement that (a) relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any Federal court of the United States of America, or any Federal appellate court, to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Agreement (such as the provision found in Section 8.11(a) of the Credit Agreement), (b) contains a waiver of an inconvenient forum (such as the provision found in Section 8.11(b) of the Credit Agreement), (c) relates to a right of setoff in respect of purchases of interests in loans (such as the provision found in Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement) or with respect to parties that may not hold mutual debts (such as the provision found in Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement), (d) provides for liquidated damages, (e) relates to the waiver of rights to jury trial (such as the provision found in Section 8.12 of the Credit Agreement) or (f) relates to any arrangement or similar fee payable to any arranger (including the Agent) of the commitments or loans under the Credit Agreement or any fee not set forth in the Credit Agreement.

We understand that you are satisfying yourselves as to the status under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state fraudulent conveyance laws of the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and we express no opinion thereon.

We are admitted to practice only in the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United States of America.

This opinion is rendered only to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and is solely for their benefit in connection with the above transactions. In addition, we hereby consent to reliance on this opinion by a permitted assign of a Lender’s interest in the Credit Agreement, provided that such permitted assign becomes a Lender on or prior to the 30th day after the date of this opinion. We are opining as to the matters herein only as of the date hereof, and, while you are authorized to deliver copies of this opinion to such permitted assigns and they are permitted to rely on this opinion, the rights to do so do not imply any obligation on our part to update this opinion. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

[Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel for the Agent]

March 22, 2006

To each of the Banks
and the Agent party
to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to Citibank, N.A, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) in connection with the 5-Year Credit Agreement dated as of March 22, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.

Law or any other provision of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations, or the provisions of the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Guarantor restricting dividends, loans or other distributions by a corporation for the benefit of its stockholders.
