In connection with the foregoing, you have requested that JPMorgan, BAS and RJB agree to

pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 30% of the aggregate principal amount of the

principal terms and conditions on and subject to which JPMCB, BOA and RJB are committing to make
available the Credit Facilities.
It is agreed that JPMorgan and BAS will act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners in
respect of the Credit Facilities (in such capacities, the Bookrunners), that RJB will act
as co-arranger in respect of the Credit Facilities (in such capacity, the Co-Arranger;
together with the Bookrunners, the Arrangers) and that JPMCB and BOA will act as the
Applicable Agents in respect of the Credit Facilities (it being understood and agreed that JPMorgan
will have left placement and BAS will have right placement in any marketing materials and other
documentation used in connection with the Credit

other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no
compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet and Fee Letters referred to
below) will be paid in connection with the Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.
The Bookrunners intend to syndicate the Credit Facilities to a group of lenders (together with
JPMCB, BOA and RJB, the Lenders) identified by them in consultation with you;
provided that notwithstanding the Bookrunners right to syndicate the Credit Facilities and
receive commitments with respect thereto, unless consented to by you, (i) the Commitment Parties
shall not be relieved or novated from their respective obligations hereunder in connection with any
syndication or assignment of the commitments until the Closing Date has occurred, and no assignment
or novation shall become effective with respect to any portion of the commitment of any Commitment
Party in respect of the Credit Facilities until the initial funding of the Credit Facilities on the
Closing Date, and (ii) the Commitment Parties shall retain exclusive control over all of their
respective voting rights with respect to their respective commitments hereunder, and with respect
to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments in respect hereof, until the
Closing Date has occurred. The Bookrunners intend to commence syndication efforts promptly, and
you agree actively to assist the Bookrunners in completing a syndication satisfactory to them.
Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the
syndication efforts benefit materially from the existing banking relationships of the Borrower, (b)
direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Borrower, and consistent with the
provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Target, and the proposed Lenders, (c) as set forth in
the next paragraph, assistance from the Borrower and, consistent with the provisions of the

the syndication (collectively, with the Term Sheet, the Information Materials) and (d)
the hosting, with us and senior management of the Borrower and the Target, of one or more meetings
of prospective Lenders.
You will assist the Bookrunners in preparing Information Materials, including Confidential
Information Memoranda, for distribution to prospective Lenders. If requested by the Commitment
Parties, you also will assist the Bookrunners in preparing an additional version of the Information
Materials (the Public-Side Version) to be used by prospective Lenders public-side
employees and representatives (Public-Siders) who do not wish to receive material
non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect
to the Borrower, the Target, their respective affiliates and any of their respective securities
(MNPI) and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with
respect to any such entitys securities or loans. Before distribution of any Information
Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to the Bookrunners (i) a letter in which you authorize
distribution of the Information Materials to a prospective Lenders employees willing to receive
MNPI (Private-Siders) and (ii) a separate letter in which you authorize distribution of
the Public-Side Version to Public-Siders and represent that no MNPI is contained therein.
The Borrower agrees that the following documents may be distributed to both Private-Siders and
Public-Siders, unless the Borrower advises the Bookrunners in writing (including by email) within a
reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed
to Private-Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by the Commitment Parties for prospective
Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, lender allocations and funding and closing
memoranda), (b) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities and (c) other
materials intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of Information Materials.
If you advise us that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private-Siders, then
Public-Siders will not receive such materials without further discussions with you.
2
The Borrower hereby authorizes the Commitment Parties to distribute drafts of definitive
documentation with respect to the Credit Facilities to Private-Siders and Public-Siders.
The parties hereto agree that information and materials may be distributed or sent through
electronic means (including IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another electronic workspace) and that the use
of such means is expressly authorized hereby.
The Bookrunners will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication,
including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be
approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the
allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the
Lenders. The Bookrunners will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set
forth herein and in no event shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties.
Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Bookrunners are not advising the
Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction.
The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible
for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby,
and the Bookrunners shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.
To assist the Bookrunners in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and
provide to the Bookrunners all information with respect to the Borrower and the Target and their

will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not,
when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of
the circumstances under which such statements are made; provided that the foregoing representation
with respect to Information regarding the Target is made to the knowledge of the Borrower and (b)
the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Bookrunners by you or any of your
representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. You
understand that in arranging and syndicating the Credit Facilities the Bookrunners may use and rely
on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
As consideration for the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties hereunder, you
agree to pay the nonrefundable fees described in the applicable Fee Letters dated the date hereof
