Upon receipt of a Notice of Committed Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly give notice to each Lender thereof.

(b) Funding Committed Advances. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Committed 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 Committed Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, the Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower at an account specified by such Borrower.

(c) Irrevocable Notice. Each Notice of Committed Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding. In the case of any Committed Borrowing that the related Notice of Committed Borrowing specifies is to be composed of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower requesting such Committed Borrowing shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender on account of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified for such Committed Borrowing in such Notice of Committed Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, including, without limitation, any loss (but excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Committed Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Committed Borrowing when such Committed Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Lender’s Ratable Portion. Unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of any Committed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Committed Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Committed Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.2 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the requesting Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that a Lender has not so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and such Borrower shall severally repay to the Agent forthwith on demand an amount that in the aggregate equals such corresponding amount together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available by the Agent to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at

(i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Committed Advances constituting such Committed Borrowing, and

(ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate.

If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Advance as part of such Committed Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

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

2.3 Conversion to Term Loans, Repayment. The Borrowers shall, subject to the next succeeding sentence, repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Committed Advances then outstanding. TBC may, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Termination Date, convert all or a part of the unpaid principal amount of the Committed Advances outstanding as of the Termination Date into Term Loans. If this Term Loan Conversion Option is exercised, then, on the Termination Date, immediately prior to the time when the unpaid principal amount of the Committed Advances would otherwise be due, the Committed Advances shall automatically convert into Term Loans which the respective Borrowers shall repay to the Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders on the Maturity Date. The amounts so converted shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as Committed Advances except that after the Termination Date:

(i) the Borrowers may not make any additional borrowings;

(ii) any amounts paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed;

(iii) the amount of each Lender’s Commitment shall be equal at all times to the principal amount of the Term Loans payable to such Lender from time to time;

(iv) the provisions of Section 2.19 shall not be effective; and

(v) no Facility Fees or utilization fees shall accrue or be payable after the Termination Date.

2.4 Interest Rate on Committed Advances. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each of its Committed Advances from the date of such Committed Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) during each period in which such Committed Advance is a Base Rate Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus the Applicable Utilization Fee, if any, payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October and on (x) the Termination Date, or (y) if TBC has exercised the Term Loan Conversion Option, the Maturity Date, and

(ii) during each period in which such Committed Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times during each relevant Interest Period for such Committed Advance to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin plus the Applicable Utilization Fee, if any, payable on the last day of each such Interest Period, and if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, quarterly on each day during such Interest Period that is three months from either (A) the first day of such Interest Period or (B) the last such interest payment date and on the date such Committed Advance is Converted or paid in full.

provided that in the event and during the continuance of an Event of Default (x) the Applicable Margin shall immediately increase by 1.0% above the Applicable Margin then in effect, and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Advance shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Advance at the end of the Interest Period then in

effect for such Eurodollar Rate Advance and (y) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% above the Base Rate.

2.5 Bid Advances.

(a) Bid Advances Impact on Commitments. The Borrowers may make Bid Borrowings from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date in the manner set forth below, provided that, following the making of each Bid Borrowing, the aggregate amount of the Advances then outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders (computed without regard to the Bid Reduction). As provided in Section 2.1 above, 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 Bid Advances then outstanding, and such deemed use of the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments; provided, however, that any Lender’s Bid Advances shall not otherwise reduce that Lender’s obligation to lend its pro rata share of the remaining Available Commitments.

(b) Notice of Bid Borrowing. Any Borrower may request a Bid Borrowing by delivering to the Agent a notice of a Bid Borrowing (a “Notice of Bid Borrowing”), in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2, specifying the following:

(i) the date and aggregate amount of the proposed Bid Borrowing,

(ii) the maturity date for repayment of each Bid Advance to be made as part of such Bid Borrowing, which maturity date

(A) may not be later than 5 Business Days prior to the Termination Date, but may otherwise be 7 days or more from the date of such requested Bid Advance if the Borrower specifies in the Notice of Bid Borrowing that the rates of interest to be offered by the Lenders will be fixed rates per annum (a “Fixed Rate Borrowing”), and

(B) shall be either 1, 2, 3, 6 or 9 months from the date of such Bid Borrowing if the Borrower specifies in the Notice of Bid Borrowing that such Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurodollar Rate Bid Advances (a “Eurodollar Rate Bid Borrowing”),

(iii) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto, and

(iv) any other terms to be applicable to such Bid Borrowing.

A Borrower requesting a Bid Borrowing shall deliver a Notice of Bid Borrowing to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (A) at least one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Bid Borrowing if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to be a Fixed Rate Borrowing, and (B) at least four Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Bid Borrowing, if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Rate Bid Borrowing. Every Notice of Bid Borrowing given by a Subsidiary Borrower must be countersigned by an authorized representative of TBC, in order to evidence the consent of TBC, in its sole discretion, to that proposed Bid Borrowing. The Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Lender of each request for a Bid Borrowing by sending such Lender a copy of the related Notice of Bid Borrowing.

(c) Discretion as to Bid Advances. Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Advances to the applicable Borrower as part of such proposed Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Lender in its sole discretion (each such rate of interest to be a fixed rate if the Borrower requested Fixed Rate Advances or a margin over the Eurodollar Rate if the Borrower requested Eurodollar Rate Bid Advances), by notifying the Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company and such Borrower), before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) (A) on the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to be a Fixed Rate Borrowing and (B) three Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Notice of Bid Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Rate Bid Borrowing. In such notice the Lender shall specify the following:

(i) the minimum amount and maximum amount of each Bid Advance which such Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the first proviso in this Section 2.5(a), exceed such Lender’s Commitment),

(ii) the rate or rates of interest therefor (specified as stated in this paragraph (c)), and

(iii) such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office with respect to such Bid Advance;

provided that if the Agent in its capacity as a Lender, in its sole discretion, elects to make any such offer, it shall notify such Borrower and the Company of such offer before 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Agent by the other Lenders. If, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which notice of a Lender’s election under this Section 2.5(c) is to be made, the Agent fails to receive, at its address specified in Section 8.2, a notice from a Lender provided for in this Section 2.5(c), the Agent may conclusively presume that such Lender has elected not to offer to make any Bid Advances to such Borrower with respect to the related Notice of Bid Borrowing.

(d) Borrower Selection of Lender Bids. The Borrower proposing the Bid Borrowing shall, in turn, (A) before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, in the case of a proposed Bid Borrowing to be a Fixed Rate Borrowing, and (B) before 12:00 noon (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, in the case of a proposed Bid Borrowing to be a Eurodollar Rate Bid Borrowing, either:

(i) cancel such Bid Borrowing by giving the Agent notice to that effect, or

(ii) accept, in its sole discretion, one or more of the offers made by a Lender or Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(c), by giving notice to the Agent of the amount of each Bid Advance (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to such Borrower by the Agent on behalf of such Lender for such Bid Advance pursuant to Section 2.5(c)) to be made by each Lender as part of such Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(c) by giving the Agent notice to that effect; provided that offers will be accepted, if at all, in order of lowest to highest interest rates, and, if two or more Lenders bid at the same rate, the Bid Borrowing with respect to such rate will be allocated among such Lenders in proportion to the amount bid by each such Lender.

If the Borrower proposing the Bid Borrowing notifies the Agent that such Bid Borrowing is canceled pursuant to Section 2.5(d)(i), the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and such Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

(e) Bid Borrowing. If the Borrower proposing the Bid Borrowing accepts one or more of the offers made by a Lender or Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(d)(ii), the Agent shall in turn promptly

(i) notify each Lender that has made an offer as described in Section 2.5(c), of the date and aggregate amount of such Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(c) have been accepted by such Borrower,

(ii) notify each Lender that is to make a Bid Advance, as part of such Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Bid Borrowing, and

(iii) upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in 5.3 or 5.6, as applicable, notify each Lender that is to make a Bid Advance as part of such Bid Borrowing that the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5 appear to have been satisfied.

When each Lender that is to make a Bid Advance as part of such Bid Borrowing has received notice from the Agent pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, such Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Bid Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Agent pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account such Lender’s portion of such Bid Borrowing, in same day funds. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5 and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower at an account specified by such Borrower. Promptly after each Bid Borrowing the Agent shall notify each Lender of the amount of the Bid Borrowing, the consequent Bid Reduction, and the dates upon which such Bid Reduction commenced and will terminate.

(f) If the Borrower proposing such Bid Borrowing notifies the Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(d)(ii) above that it accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders, such notice of acceptance shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. Such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in the related Notice of Bid Borrowing for such Bid Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, including, without limitation, any loss (but excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Bid Borrowing when such Bid Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(g) Amount of Bid Borrowings. Each Notice of Bid Borrowing shall request an aggregate amount of Bid Advances not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, provided that a Borrower may accept offers aggregating less than $10,000,000 and offers which are not an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and provided further that, as provided in Section 2.5(a), following the making of each Bid Borrowing, the aggregate amount of the Advances then outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders (computed without regard to the Bid Reduction). Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5, the Borrowers may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.5, repay pursuant to Section 2.5(g), and reborrow under this Section 2.5, provided that a Bid Borrowing shall not be made within three Business Days of the date of any other Bid Borrowing.

(h) Repayment of Bid Advances. On the maturity date of each Bid Advance specified by the relevant Borrower for repayment of such Bid Advance in the related Notice of Bid Borrowing, the Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of the Lender which has made such Bid Advance the then unpaid principal amount of such Bid Advance. The Borrowers shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Bid Advance.

(i) Interest on Bid Advances; Bid Notes. The relevant Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Bid Advance, from the date of such Bid Advance to the date the principal amount of such Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the fixed rate of interest specified by the Lender making such Fixed Rate Advance in its notice with respect thereto delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Bid Advance, the margin specified by the Lender making such Bid Advance in its notice with respect thereto plus the Eurodollar Rate determined with respect to such Bid Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.10, payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Borrower for such Bid Advance in the related Notice of Bid Borrowing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of unpaid principal of and interest on each Bid Advance owing to a Lender, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable thereon, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Bid Advance under the terms of the Bid Note evidencing such Bid Advance unless otherwise agreed in such Bid Note. The indebtedness of the applicable Borrower resulting from each Bid Advance made to the Borrower as part of a Bid Borrowing shall be evidenced by a separate Bid Note of such Borrower payable to the order of the Lender making such Bid Advance, which Bid Note shall be returned to the Borrower upon payment in full of such Bid Advance.

2.6 Lender Assignment or Sale. Any Lender may, without the prior written consent of the Borrowers, sell or assign all or any part of such Lender’s rights in any or all of the Bid Advances made by such Lender or in the Bid Notes in connection with such Bid Advances as a participation, provided, however, that

(i) any such sale or assignment shall not require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify the Advances or the Notes under the blue sky laws of any state, and the selling or assigning Lender shall otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to such transaction,

(ii) no purchaser or assignee in such a transaction shall thereby become a “Lender” for any purpose under this Agreement,

(iii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrowers) shall remain unchanged,

(iv) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and

(v) the Borrowers, 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.

2.7 Fees. TBC agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (“Facility Fee”) on such Lender’s Commitment, without regard to usage. The Facility Fee shall be payable for the periods from the date hereof in the case of each Lender named in Schedule I, and from the effective date on which any other Lender becomes party hereto, until the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which such Lender ceases to be a party hereto) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the term of this Agreement until and on the Termination Date. The amount of the Facility Fee payable on January 1, 2004 and on the Termination Date shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed either since the date hereof (in the case of the January 1, 2004 payment) or since the date on which the last

payment in respect of the Facility Fee was made (in the case of the payment made on the Termination Date).

2.8 Reduction of the Commitments.

(a) Optional Reductions. TBC shall have the right, upon at least 3 Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to permanently terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the Commitments, provided that each partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and provided further that the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not be reduced to an amount which is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Advances then outstanding.

(b) Mandatory Reduction. At the close of business on the Termination Date, the aggregate Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced, on a pro rata basis, by an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to such reduction exceed the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Committed Advances then outstanding.

2.9 Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances. Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as such Lender is required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance of such Lender to such Borrower, from the date of such Committed Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum for each Interest Period equal to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Committed Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Committed Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the relevant Borrowers through the Agent.

2.10 Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination.

(a) Methods to Determine Eurodollar Rate. The Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Eurodollar Rate Advance by using the methods described in the definition of the term “Eurodollar Rate,” and shall give prompt notice to the relevant Borrowers and the Lenders of each such Eurodollar Rate.

(b) Role of Reference Banks. In the event the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined by the first method described in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate,” each Reference Bank shall furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining the Eurodollar Rate in accordance with the second method described therein. If any one or more of the Reference Banks does not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining a Eurodollar Rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. In the event the rate cannot be determined by either of the methods described in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate,” then:

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

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

Borrower was attempting to Convert a Base Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance, such Advance will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Bid Advances, or to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) Inadequate Eurodollar Rate. If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances, the Majority Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Committed Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the relevant Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon

(i) each such Eurodollar Rate Committed 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 Base Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) Absence of an Interest Period on a Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance. If a Borrower fails to select the duration of an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Committed Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

2.11 Voluntary Conversion of Committed Advances. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.15, any Borrower may Convert all such Borrower’s Committed Advances of one Type constituting the same Committed Borrowing into Advances of the other Type 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; provided, however, that the Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance into a Base Rate Advance may be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify

(i) the date of such Conversion,

(ii) the Committed Advances to be Converted, and

(iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Committed Advance.

2.12 Prepayments. Any Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice from such Borrower to the Agent, to prepay its outstanding principal obligations with respect to its Committed Advances in whole or ratably in part (except as provided in Section 2.15 or 2.19), provided that every notice of prepayment given by a Subsidiary Borrower must be countersigned by an authorized representative of TBC, in order to evidence the consent of TBC, in its sole discretion, to that prepayment. Such prepaying Borrower may be obligated to make certain prepayments of obligations with respect to one or more Committed Advances subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.12.

(a) Base Rate Borrowings Prepayments. With respect to Base Rate Borrowings, such prepayment shall be without premium or penalty, upon notice given to the Agent, and shall be made not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment. The Borrower shall designate in such notice the amount and date of such prepayment. Accrued interest on the amount so prepaid shall be payable on the first Business Day of the calendar quarter next following the prepayment. The minimum amount of Base Rate Borrowings which may be prepaid on any occasion shall be $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the total amount of Base Rate Advances then outstanding for that Borrower.

(b) Eurodollar Rate Committed Borrowings Prepayments. With respect to Eurodollar Rate Committed Borrowings, such prepayment shall be made on at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), and if such notice is given the applicable Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Committed Advances constituting part of the same Committed Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. The minimum amount of Eurodollar Rate Committed Borrowings which may be prepaid on any occasion shall be $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the total amount of Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances then outstanding for that Borrower.

(c) Additional Prepayment Payments. The prepaying Borrower shall, on the date of the prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances, pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest accrued to such date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid plus, in the case only of a prepayment on any date which is not the last day of an applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, any amounts which may be required to compensate such Lender for any losses or out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts to minimize any such losses, costs and expenses.

(d) Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance Prepayment Expense. If, due to the acceleration of any of the Committed Advances pursuant to Section 6.2(b), an assignment, repayment or prepayment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 or otherwise, any Lender receives payment of its portion of, or is subject to any Conversion from, any Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Committed Advance, the relevant Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts which may be payable to such Lender by such Borrower by reason of payment on such day as provided in Section 2.12(c).

2.13 Increases in Costs.

(a) Costs from Law or Authorities. If, due to either

(1) the introduction of, or any change (other than, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, a change by way of imposition or an increase of reserve requirements described in Section 2.9) in, or new interpretation of, any law or regulation effective at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof, or

(2) the compliance with any guideline or the request from or by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law),

there is an increase in the cost incurred by a Lender in agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance or Eurodollar Rate Bid Advance then or at any time thereafter outstanding (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.13 any such increased

costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office (or any political subdivision thereof), then TBC shall from time to time, upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender such amounts as are required to compensate such Lender for such increased cost, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize any such increased cost and provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand, unless such introduction, change, compliance or request shall have retroactive effect to a date prior to such 90^th day. A certificate as to the amount of such increase in cost, submitted to the relevant Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes under this Section 2.13(a), absent manifest error.

(b) Increased Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guidelines or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) which is enacted, adopted or issued at any time and from time to time after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender (or any corporation controlling such Lender) and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Commitment and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrowers shall immediately 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 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 Commitment, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize any such compensation payable by the Borrowers hereunder and provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand, unless such introduction, change, compliance or request shall have retroactive effect to a date prior to such 90^th day. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the relevant Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Borrower Rights Upon Cost Increases. Upon receipt of notice from any Lender claiming compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 or Section 2.14 and as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, TBC shall have the right, on or before the 30th day after the date of receipt of any such notice,

(i) to arrange for one or more Lenders or other commercial banks to assume the Commitment of such Lender; subject, however, to payment to the Agent by the assignor or the assignee of a processing and recording fee of $3,500, in the event the assuming lender is not a Lender; or

(ii) to arrange for the Commitment of such Lender to be terminated and all Committed Advances owed to such Lender to be prepaid;

and, in either case, subject to payment in full of all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement and then owing to such Lender immediately prior to the assignment or termination of the Commitment of such Lender.

2.14 Taxes.

(a) Exclusion and Inclusion of Taxes. Any and all payments by each Borrower hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income ( and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes, hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect to any sum payable hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) 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.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, each Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges, or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or with respect to any Advances and under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes ( “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnification as to Taxes. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability ( including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Evidence of or Exemption from Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower which paid such Taxes shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or with respect to the Advances or under any Notes by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Non-U.S. Lenders. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (in the case of each Lender listed in Schedule I), and from the date on which any other Lender becomes a party hereto (in the case of each other Lender), and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by TBC (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Agent and TBC with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or W-8EC1, as

appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is entitled to a reduced rate of, United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to any Advances or any Notes. If the forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lower rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lower rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date on which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection 2.14(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection 2.14(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8EC1, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the relevant Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document confidential information.

(f) Lender Failure to Provide IRS Forms. For any period with respect to which any Lender has failed to provide TBC with the appropriate form described in subsection 2.14(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection 2.14(e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, TBC shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

2.15 Illegality. If any Lender shall notify the Agent that either

(a) there is any introduction of, or change in or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation that in the opinion of counsel for such Lender in the relevant jurisdiction makes it unlawful, or

(b) any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful

for such Lender to continue to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advances or to perform its obligations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, upon the issuance of such opinion of counsel or such assertion by a central bank or other governmental authority, the Agent shall give notice of such opinion or assertion to the Borrowers (accompanied by such opinion, if applicable). The Borrowers shall forthwith either

(i) prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances and all Eurodollar Rate Bid Advances made by such Lender, with accrued interest thereon or

(ii) Convert each such Eurodollar Rate Committed Advance made by such Lender into a Base Rate Advance.

Upon such prepayment or Conversion, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances or Eurodollar Rate Bid Advances, or to Convert Committed Advances into Eurodollar Rate Committed Advances, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exists.

2.16 Payments and Computations.

(a) Time and Distribution of Payments. The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and with respect to any Advances or under any Notes, without counterclaim or setoff, 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 shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.9, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.19) 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. From and after the effective date of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.20, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and with respect to any Advances or under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such assignment shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for the periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate and utilization fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of Facility Fees shall be made by the Agent, and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be made by a Lender, 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 fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.9, by a Lender) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Payment Due Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be, but not later than the Termination Date or, if the Term Loan Election has been exercised, the Maturity Date; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(d) Presumption of Borrower Payment. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the 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 such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each such 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.

2.17 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Committed Advances made by it (other than pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.19), in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Committed Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Committed Advances made by 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 other Lender shall be rescinded and each such other 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. The Borrowers agree 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 set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

2.18 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Lender Records; If Notes Required. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Committed Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Committed Advances. Each Borrower shall, upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Committed Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Committed Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Committed Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.

(b) Record of Borrowings, Payables and Payments. The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded

(i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder to each Borrower, the Type of Advances constituting such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto,

(ii) the terms of each assignment pursuant to Section 2.20,

(iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and

(iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from a Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

2.19 Alteration of Commitments and Addition of Lenders.

(a) Alter Lender Commitment. By a written agreement executed only by TBC, the Agent and the affected Lender and any non-party lender involved,

(i) the Commitment of such affected Lender may be increased to the amount set forth in such agreement;

(ii) such non-party lender may be added as a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such agreement, provided that such lender agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

(iii) the unused portion of the Commitment of such affected Lender may be reduced or terminated and the Committed Advances owing to such Lender may be prepaid in whole or in part, all as set forth in such agreement.

(b) Conditions to Alteration. The Agent may execute any such agreement without the prior consent of any Lender other than the Lender affected, provided, however, that if at the time the Agent proposes to execute such agreement either (A) TBC’s long-term senior unsecured debt is rated lower than A- by S&P or lower than A3 by Moody’s or (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Agent shall not execute any such agreement unless it has first obtained the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, and provided further that the Agent shall not execute any such agreement without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders if such agreement would increase the total of the Commitments to an amount in excess of $2,500,000,000 or, pursuant to Section 2.19(c), $3,000,000,000.

(c) Increase Total Commitment. The Company has the right, once prior to the initial Termination Date (and, if the Termination Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.21, once following such extension), to increase the total of the Commitments through a Request for Alteration, in minimum increments of $50,000,000, up to a maximum aggregate of Commitments of $3,000,000,000, provided that, in addition to the requirements specified in Section 2.19(b), at the time of and after giving effect to an increase, TBC’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced debt ratings from Moody’s and S&P are better than or equal to A3 and A-, respectively. The Company may offer the increases to

(i) the Lenders, and each Lender shall have the right, but no obligation, to increase its Commitment, by giving notice thereof to the Agent, to all or a portion of the proposed increase (the “Proposed Increased Commitment”), allocations to be based on the ratio of each Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment, if any, to the aggregate of all Proposed Increased Commitments, and

(ii) third party financial institutions acceptable to the Agent, provided that the minimum commitment of each such institution equals or exceeds $50,000,000.

(d) Request for Alteration. The Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such agreement becoming effective. All requests for Lender consent under the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall specify the date upon which any such increase, addition, reduction, termination, or prepayment shall become effective (the “Effective Date”) and shall be made by means of a Request for Alteration substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit C. On the Effective Date on which the Commitment of any Lender is increased, decreased, terminated or created or on which prepayment is made, all as described in such Request for Alteration, the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, shall make available to the Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, in same day funds, the amount, if any, which may be required (and the Agent shall distribute such funds received by it to the Borrowers or to such Lenders, as the case may be) so that at the close of business on such date the sum of the Committed Advances of

each Lender then outstanding shall be in the same proportion to the total of the Committed Advances of all the Lenders then outstanding as the Commitment of such Lender is to the total of the Commitments. The Agent shall give each Lender notice of the amount to be made available by, or to be distributed to, such Lender at least 3 Business Days before such payment is made.

2.20 Assignments; Sales of Participations and Other Interests in Advances.

(a) Assignment of Lender Obligations. From time to time each Lender may, with the prior written consent of TBC (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and subject to the qualifications set forth below, assign to one or more Lenders or an Eligible Assignee all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Committed Advances owing to it and the Committed Note, if any, held by it) and will, at any time, if arranged by the Company pursuant to clause (i)(A) below upon at least 30 days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, all of its Commitment, the Committed Advances owing to it and the Committed Note, if any, held by it); subject to the following:

(i) If such Lender notifies TBC and the Agent of its intent to request the consent of TBC to an assignment, TBC shall have the right, for 30 days after receipt of such notice and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in its sole discretion either (A) to arrange for one or more Eligible Assignees to accept such assignment (a “Required Assignment”) or (B) to arrange for the rights and obligations of such Lender (including, without limitation, such Lender’s Commitment), and the total Commitments, to be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment proposed to be assigned and, in connection with such reduction, to prepay that portion of the Committed Advances owing to such Lender which it proposes to assign;

(ii) If TBC fails to notify such Lender within 30 days of TBC’s receipt of such Lender’s request for consent to assignment, the Borrowers shall be deemed to consent to the proposed assignment;

(iii) Any such assignment shall not require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify the interests in the Committed Advances under the blue sky laws of any state and the assigning Lender shall otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to such assignment;

(iv) Unless TBC consents, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to any such assignment (determined as of the date of the assignment) shall either (A) equal 50% of all such rights and obligations (or 100% in the case of a Required Assignment) or (B) not be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(v) Unless TBC consents, the aggregate amount of the Commitment assigned pursuant to all such assignments of such Lender (after giving effect to such assignment) shall in no event exceed 50% (except in the case of a Required Assignment) of all such Lender’s Commitment (as set forth in Schedule I, in the case of each Lender that is a party hereto as of November 21, 2003, or as set forth in the Register as the aggregate Commitment assigned to such Lender pursuant to one or more assignments, in the case of any assignee); and

(vi) No Lender shall be obligated to make a Required Assignment unless such Lender has received payments in an aggregate amount at least equal to the outstanding principal

amount of all Committed Advances being assigned, 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 (including without limitation Section 2.12(c), provided that such Lender shall receive its pro rata share of the Facility Fee on the next date on which the Facility Fee is payable).

(b) Effect of Lender Assignment. From and after the effective date of any assignment pursuant to Section 2.20(a), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment, it shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.19 or 8.3 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) Security Interest; Assignment to Lender Affiliate. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may, upon prior or contemporaneous notice to TBC and the Agent, at any time (i) create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (ii) assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Committed Advances owing to it and the Committed Note held by it, if any) to an Affiliate of such Lender unless the result of such an assignment would be to increase the cost to any Borrowers of requesting, borrowing, continuing, maintaining, paying or converting any Advances.

(d) Agent’s Register. The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.2 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Committed Advances of each Borrower 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 the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each entity 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 Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon receipt by the Agent from the assigning Lender of an assignment in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with evidence of each Committed Advance subject to such assignment, and a processing and recording fee of $3,500 (payable by either the assignor or the assignee), the Agent shall, if such assignment is a Required Assignment or has been consented to by TBC to the extent required by Section 2.20(a) or has been effected pursuant to Section 2.21(c), (i) accept such assignment, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to TBC.

(e) Lender Sale of Participations. Each Lender may sell participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) to one or more Affiliates of such Lender or to one or more other commercial banks; provided, however, that

(i) any such participation shall not require any Borrowers to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify any interests in the Advances or any Notes under the blue sky laws of any state and the Lender selling or

granting such participation shall otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to such transaction,

(ii) no purchaser of such a participation shall be considered to be a “Lender” for any purpose under the Agreement,

(iii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrowers) shall remain unchanged,

(iv) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

(v) such Lender shall remain the holder of any Notes issued with respect to its Advances for all purposes of this Agreement,

(vi) the Borrowers, 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

(vii) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, 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 Notes 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 Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.

(f) Confidential Borrower Information. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 2.20, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure of Confidential Information, such Lender shall obtain the written consent of the Borrowers, and the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any such Confidential Information received by it from such Lender except as disclosure may be required or appropriate to governmental authorities, pursuant to legal process, or by law or governmental regulation or authority.

2.21 Extension of Termination Date.

(a) Extension Request. TBC may, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiary Borrowers, by written notice to the Agent in the form of Exhibit E (each such notice being an “Extension Request”) given no earlier than 60 days and no later than 45 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date, request that the then applicable Termination Date be extended to a date 364 days after the then applicable Termination Date; provided, however, that TBC shall not have exercised the Term Loan Conversion Option for Committed Advances outstanding on such Termination Date prior to such time. Such extension shall be effective with respect to each Lender which, by a written notice in the form of Exhibit F (a “Continuation Notice”) to TBC and the Agent given no earlier than 30 days and no later than 20 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date, consents, in its sole discretion, to such extension (each Lender giving a Continuation Notice being referred to sometimes as a “Continuing Lender” and each Lender other than a Continuing Lender being a “Non-Extending Lender”), provided, however, that such extension shall be effective only if the aggregate Commitments of the Continuing Lenders are not less than 51% of the aggregate

Commitments of the Lenders on the date of the Extension Request. No Lender shall have any obligation to consent to any such extension of the Termination Date. The Agent shall notify each Lender of the receipt of an Extension Request within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof. The Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders no later than 15 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date whether the Agent has received Continuation Notices from Lenders holding at least 51% of the aggregate Commitments on the date of the Extension Request.

(b) Non-Extending Lenders. The Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate at the close of business on the Termination Date in effect prior to the delivery of such Extension Request without giving any effect to such proposed extension, and on such Termination Date TBC shall take one of the following three actions:

(i) Replace the Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(c); or

(ii) Pay or cause to be paid to the Agent, for the account of the Non-Extending Lenders, an amount equal to the Non-Extending Lenders’ Committed Advances, together with accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts then payable hereunder to the Non-Extending Lenders; or

(iii) By giving notice to the Agent no later than three days prior to the Termination Date in effect prior to the delivery of such Extension Request, elect not to extend the Termination Date beyond the then applicable Termination Date, and in this event the Borrowers may in their sole discretion repay any amount of the Committed Advances then outstanding or exercise the Term Loan Conversion Option with respect to the Committed Advances outstanding on the Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.3.

(c) Replacement Lenders. A Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated, at the request of TBC, to assign at any time prior to the close of business on the Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lender all of its rights (other than rights that would survive the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3) and obligations hereunder to one or more Lenders or other commercial banks nominated by TBC and willing to become Lenders in place of such Non-Extending Lender (the “Replacement Lenders”). In order to qualify as a Replacement Lender, a Lender or lender must satisfy all of the requirements of this Agreement (including without limitation the terms of Section 2.20 relating to Required Assignments). Such obligation of each Non-Extending Lenders is subject to such Non-Extending Lender’s receiving (i) payment in full from the Replacement Lenders of the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Non-Extending Lender immediately prior to an assignment to the Replacement Lenders and (ii) payment in full from the relevant Borrowers of all accrued interest and fees and other amounts payable hereunder and then owing to such Non-Extending Lender immediately prior to the assignment to the Replacement Lenders. Upon such assignment, the Non-Extending Lender shall no longer be a Lender, such Replacement Lender shall become a Continuing Lender, and the Agent shall make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect the foregoing.

2.22 Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) Subsidiary Borrower Designation. TBC may at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Agent of a Borrower Subsidiary Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D, duly executed by TBC and the respective Subsidiary, designate such Subsidiary as a “Subsidiary Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Subsidiary Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by TBC and the identity of the designated Subsidiary.

(b) TBC Consent to Subsidiary Borrower Borrowings and Notices. No Advances shall be made to a Subsidiary Borrower, and no Conversion of any Advances at the request of a Subsidiary Borrower shall be effective, without, in each and every instance, the prior consent of TBC, in its sole discretion, which shall be evidenced by the countersignature of TBC to the relevant Notice of Borrowing or notice of Conversion. In addition, no notices which are to be delivered by a Borrower hereunder shall be effective, with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, unless the notice is countersigned by TBC.

(c) Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event. The occurrence of any of the following events with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall constitute a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event” with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower:

(i) such Subsidiary Borrower ceases to be a Subsidiary;

(ii) such Subsidiary Borrower is liquidated or dissolved;

(iii) such Subsidiary Borrower fails to preserve and maintain its existence or makes any material change in the nature of its business as carried out on the date such Subsidiary Borrower became a Borrower hereunder;

(iv) such Subsidiary Borrower merges or consolidates with or into another Person, or conveys, transfers, leases, or otherwise disposes of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to any Person (except that a Subsidiary Borrower may merge into or dispose of assets to another Borrower);

(v) any of the “Events of Default” described in Section 6.1(a) through (f) occurs to or with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower as if such Subsidiary Borrower were “TBC”; or

(vi) the Guaranty with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower ceases, for any reason, to be valid and binding on TBC or TBC so states in writing.

(d) Terminated Subsidiary Borrower. Upon the occurrence of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower (a “Terminated Subsidiary Borrower”) shall cease to be a Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer be entitled to request or borrow Advances hereunder.

ARTICLE 3

Representations and Warranties

3.1 Representations and Warranties by the Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Corporate Standing. TBC is a duly organized corporation existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Subsidiary Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and each of TBC and each Subsidiary Borrower is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of TBC and the Subsidiary Borrowers as a whole.

(b) Corporate Powers; Governmental Approvals. The execution and delivery and the performance of the terms of this Agreement are, and the execution and delivery and the performance of the terms of any Notes and of each Guaranty will be, within the corporate powers of each Borrower party thereto, have been or will have been (as appropriate) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, have, or will have, received (as appropriate) all necessary governmental approval, if any (which approval, if any, remains in full force and effect), and do not contravene any law, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of any Borrower party thereto or any contractual restriction binding on any Borrower party thereto.

(c) Enforceability. This Agreement and the Notes, if any, when duly executed and delivered by each Borrower party thereto, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, and each Guaranty, when duly executed and delivered by TBC, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of TBC, enforceable against TBC in accordance with its terms, subject to general equitable principles and except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of general application relating to creditors’ rights.

(d) No Material Pending or Threatened Actions. In TBC’s opinion, there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative agency that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on the financial condition or operations of the Company which is likely to materially impair the ability of the Company to repay the Advances or which would affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Advances.

(e) Consolidated Statements. The Consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2002 and the related Consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings for the year then ended (copies of which have been furnished to each Lender) correctly set forth the Consolidated financial condition of TBC and its Subsidiaries as of such date and the result of the Consolidated operations for such year. The Consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2003

and the related Consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings for the nine month period then ended (copies of which have been furnished to each Lender) correctly set forth, subject to year-end audit adjustments, the Consolidated financial condition of TBC and its Subsidiaries as of such date and the result of the Consolidated operations for such nine month period.

(f) Regulation U. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and no proceeds of any Advance will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Following application of the proceeds of each Advance, not more than 25 percent of the value of the assets (either of any Borrower only or of each Borrower and its subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(a) or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between any Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender relating to Debt within the scope of Section 6.1(d) will be margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

(g) Investment Company Act. No Borrower is an “investment company,” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the making of any Advances, nor the application of the proceeds or repayment thereof by any Borrower, nor the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

(h) No Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in the Company’s financial condition or results of operations since December 31, 2002 that is likely to impair the ability of the Company to repay the Advances.

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a) may treat the Lender that made any Advance as the payee thereof until the Agent receives and accepts an assignment entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 2.20;

(b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or other experts;

(c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement;

(d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of any Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Borrower;

(e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and

(f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

7.3 Citibank, N.A. and its Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it, and any Notes issued to it, Citibank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent hereunder; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citibank, N.A., in its individual capacity. Citibank, N.A. and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, accept drafts drawn by, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and any person or entity who may do business with or own securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, all as if Citibank, N.A. were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders.

7.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 3.1(e) and the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

7.5 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by TBC or any other Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Committed Advances then outstanding made by each of them (or if no Committed Advances are

at the time outstanding or if interests in any Committed Advances are held by Persons which are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by TBC or any other Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.5 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.

7.6 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and TBC and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of TBC (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If no successor Agent has been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and has accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Agent as provided herein, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which meets the requirements set out in the previous sentence. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

7.7 Certain Obligations May Be Performed by Affiliates. The Agent may appoint any of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder other than any obligation requiring the Agent to receive, pay, or otherwise handle funds or Notes, and provided that the Agent shall continue to be responsible to the Borrowers and the Lenders for the due performance of the Agent’s obligations under this Agreement.

7.8 Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that neither the documentation agent, syndication agent nor any other Lender designated as any “Agent” (other than the Agent) on the signature pages hereof has any liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender.

ARTICLE 8

Miscellaneous

8.1 Modification, Consents and Waivers.

(a) Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Amendment. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Committed Notes, nor consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders, do any of the following:

(i) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3,

(ii) except as provided in Section 2.19 or Section 2.21, increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations,

(iii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Committed Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder,

(iv) except as provided in Section 2.21, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Committed Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder,

(v) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Committed Advances or the number of Lenders required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder,

(vi) amend this Section 8.1, or

(vii) release TBC from any of its obligations under any Guaranty or limit the liability of TBC as guarantor thereunder;

and provided further that no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any Note.

(c) Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.1 shall not affect the provisions of Section 4.4, “Waivers of Covenants”, or Article 6, “Events of Default”.

(b) Effectiveness of Notices. All communications and notices shall, when mailed, telecopied, or telexed, be effective when deposited in the mail, telecopied, or confirmed by telex answerback, respectively. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Notes or of any Exhibit to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

(c) Electronic Mail. Electronic mail may be used to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information, and documents to be signed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that no Notice of Borrowing, signature, or other notice or document intended to be legally binding shall be effective if sent by electronic mail.

(d) Internet Distributions.

(1) So long as Citibank or any of its Affiliates is the Agent, such materials as may be agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent may be delivered to the Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. The Borrowers agree that the Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks, “e-Disclosure”, the Agent’s internet delivery system that is part of Fixed Income Direct, Global Fixed Income’s primary web portal, or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrowers acknowledge that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

(2) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent shall

deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by email or telecopier. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

8.3 Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

(a) TBC shall pay upon written request all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment requested by any of the Borrowers of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties (including, without limitation, printing costs and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent) and costs and expenses, if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel), as well as any and all stamp and other taxes, and to save the Lenders and other holders of interests in the Advances or any Notes harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay by or omission of the Borrowers to pay such taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties.

(b) TBC agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Advances, this Agreement, the Notes, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and except that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent such indemnification relates to relationships of, between or among each of, or any of, the Agent, the Lenders, any assignee of a Lender or any participant. In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which this Section 8.3 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by TBC, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrowers also agree not to assert any claim on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of Advances.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 8.3 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes for a period of seven years.

8.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers may not assign or transfer their rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

8.5 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.6 Governing Law. This Agreement, any Notes, the Guaranties and each Borrower Subsidiary Letter shall be deemed to be contracts under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such State.

8.7 Headings. The Table of Contents and Article and Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

8.8 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.9 Right of Set-Off. Each Lender and each of its Affiliates that is or was at one time a Lender hereunder is authorized at any time and from time to time, upon

(i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and

(ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.2 to authorize the Agent to declare any Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2,

to the fullest extent permitted by law, without notice to any Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations to such Lender or such Affiliate of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Notes held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender has made a demand under this Agreement or such Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender shall promptly notify any Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

8.10 Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of a Borrower, other than

(a) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by Section 2.20(f), to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis,

(b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, and

(c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower, the Agent and each Lender (and each employee, representative or other agent of each of the foregoing parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of the foregoing parties relating to such U.S. tax treatment and tax structure.

8.11 Agreement in Effect. This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution and delivery, respectively, to the Agent and TBC by TBC and the Agent, and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Lender listed on Schedule I that such Lender has executed it.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

Reference is made to the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of November , 2003, among The Boeing Company, the lenders parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as syndication agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for such lenders (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this letter that are not defined herein have the respective meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

Please be advised that the Company hereby designates its undersigned Subsidiary, (the “Subsidiary Borrower”), as a “Subsidiary Borrower” under and for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.

The Subsidiary Borrower, in consideration of each Lender’s agreement to extend credit to it under and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, does hereby assume each of the obligations imposed upon a “Subsidiary Borrower” as a “Borrower” under the Credit Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Subsidiary Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Lender as follows:

(a) The Subsidiary Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of . The Subsidiary Borrower is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers as a whole.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Subsidiary Borrower of this Subsidiary Borrower Letter and its Notes, if any, are within the Subsidiary Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, have received all necessary governmental approval, if any (which approval remains in full force and effect), and do not contravene any law, any provision of the Subsidiary Borrower’s charter or by-laws or any contractual restriction binding on the Subsidiary Borrower.

(c) This Subsidiary Borrower Letter does, and the Notes of the Subsidiary Borrower when duly executed and delivered by the Subsidiary Borrower will, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Subsidiary Borrower, enforceable against the Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.

(d) In the Subsidiary Borrower’s opinion, there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative agency that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on the financial condition or operations of the Subsidiary Borrower or any Subsidiary which is likely to impair the ability of the Subsidiary Borrower to repay the Advances to it or which would affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such Advances or its Notes, if any.

(e) The Consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2002 and the related Consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings for the year then ended (copies of which have been furnished to each Lender) correctly set forth the Consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such date and the result of the Consolidated operations for such year.

(f) The Subsidiary Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and no proceeds of any Advance to the Subsidiary Borrower will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Following application of the proceeds of each Advance, not more than 25 percent of the value of the assets (either of the Subsidiary Borrower only or of the Subsidiary Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(a) of the Credit Agreement or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between the Subsidiary Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender relating to Debt within the scope of Section 6.1(d) of the Credit Agreement will be margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

(g) The Subsidiary Borrower is not an “investment company,” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the making of any Advances, nor the application of the proceeds or repayment thereof by the Subsidiary Borrower, nor the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes[, except for , all of which have been duly obtained or made and are in full force and effect].

4. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Credit Agreement or the Notes, if any, in any court of the State of California or in any federal court sitting in the State of California, such court would recognize and give effect to the provisions of Section 8.6 of the Credit Agreement wherein the parties thereto agree that the Credit Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a court of the State of California or a federal court sitting in the State of California would apply the usury law of the State of New York, and would not apply the usury law of the State of California, to the Credit Agreement and the Notes. However, if a court were to hold that the Credit Agreement and the Notes are governed by, and to be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, the Credit Agreement and the Notes would be, under the laws of the State of California, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

5. To the best of my knowledge, there are no pending overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or administrative agency that (i) purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the Notes or (ii) except as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements delivered to you prior to the date hereof pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the Credit Agreement or as set forth on Annex A hereto, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on the financial condition or operations of the Company or any Subsidiary which is likely to impair the ability of the Company or any Subsidiary to repay their respective Advances or which would affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) My opinion in the last sentence of paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(b) My opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of 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).

Very truly yours,

ANNEX A

On September 3, 2003, the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense announced a formal investigation into whether a former senior U.S. Air Force official who is now a Company employee improperly provided data from a competitor to the Company in the course of the Air Force’s evaluation of the Company’s proposal to lease tanker aircraft to the Air Force. The Company is conducting its own confidential and parallel investigation into this subject matter, including the circumstances under which the former senior U.S. Air Force official became a Company employee.

November , 2003

To the Initial Lenders party to the
Credit Agreement referred
to below and to Citibank, N.A.,
as Agent

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to Citibank, N.A., as Agent, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of November , 2003, among The Boeing Company, the Lenders parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as syndication agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for the Lenders (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined).

In that connection, we have examined a counterpart of the Credit Agreement executed by TBC and, to the extent relevant to our opinion expressed below, the other documents delivered by TBC pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement.

In our examination of the Credit Agreement and such other documents, we have assumed, without independent investigation (a) the due execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by all parties thereto, (b) the genuineness of all signatures, (c) the authenticity of the originals of the documents submitted to us and (d) the conformity to originals of any documents submitted to us as copies.

In addition, we have assumed, without independent investigation, that (i) TBC is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full power and authority (corporate and otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform the Credit Agreement and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by TBC of the Credit Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action (corporate or otherwise) and do not (A) contravene the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other constituent documents of TBC, (B) conflict with or result in the breach of any document or instrument binding on TBC or (C) violate or require any governmental or regulatory authorization or other action under any law, rule or regulation applicable to TBC other than New York law or United States federal law applicable to borrowers generally or, assuming the correctness of TBC’s statements made as representations and warranties in Section 3.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, applicable to TBC. We have also assumed that the Credit Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Lender, enforceable against such Lender in accordance with its terms.

Based upon the foregoing examination and assumptions and upon such other investigation as we have deemed necessary and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we

are of the opinion that the Credit Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of TBC, enforceable against TBC in accordance with its terms.

Our opinion above is subject to the following qualifications:

(i) Our opinion above is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(ii) Our opinion above is also subject to the effect of 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).

(iii) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement to the extent enforcement thereof is contrary to public policy regarding the exculpation of criminal violations, intentional harm and acts of gross negligence or recklessness.

(iv) Our opinion above is limited to the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States of America and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion as to the effect of the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of the Credit Agreement may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

A copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any of you to any Person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any such Lender may rely on the opinion expressed above as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such Lender on the date hereof.

This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you or any other Lender who is permitted to rely on the opinion expressed herein as specified in the next preceding paragraph of any development or circumstance of any kind including any change of law or fact that may occur after the date of this opinion letter even though such development, circumstance or change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or any other matter set forth in or relating to this opinion letter. Accordingly, any Lender relying on this opinion letter at any time should seek advice of its counsel as to the proper application of this opinion letter at such time.

FORM OF OPINION OF IN-HOUSE COUNSEL TO

SUBSIDIARY BORROWER

[Date]

To each of the Lenders parties
to the Credit Agreement referred
to below and to Citibank,
N.A., as Agent

The Boeing Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.4(d) of the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of November , 2003, among The Boeing Company, the lenders parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as syndication agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for the lenders (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined).

I am legal counsel for [insert name of Subsidiary Borrower] (the “Subsidiary Borrower”), and have acted in such capacity in connection with the execution and delivery of the Borrower Subsidiary Letter dated as of [month, date, year] by the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower (the “Borrower Subsidiary Letter”), and the initial Borrowing made by the Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

In that connection, I have examined:

(1) The Credit Agreement.

(2) The Borrower Subsidiary Letter.

(3) The other documents furnished by the Company and/or the Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Article 5 of the Credit Agreement.

(4) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower and all amendments thereto (the “Subsidiary Borrower Charter”).

(5) The by-laws of the Subsidiary Borrower and all amendments thereto (the “Subsidiary Borrower By-Laws”).

(6) A certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of [insert state of incorporation of Subsidiary Borrower], dated , 2000, attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Subsidiary Borrower in that State.

In addition, I have examined the originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Subsidiary Borrower, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower, and agreements, instruments and other documents, as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. I have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Credit Agreement by the Lenders, the Agent and the syndication agent.

I am qualified to practice law in the State of California [and [insert state of incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower if other than Delaware]] and I do not purport to be an expert on any laws other than the laws of the State of California, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States.

Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as I have deemed necessary, I am of the following opinions:

1. The Subsidiary Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [insert state of incorporation].

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Subsidiary Borrower of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes are within the Subsidiary Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Subsidiary Borrower Charter or the Subsidiary Borrower By-Laws or (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Subsidiary Borrower (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iii) any contractual or legal restriction binding on the Subsidiary Borrower. The Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Subsidiary Borrower.

3. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Subsidiary Borrower of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes [, except for , all of which have been duly obtained or made and are in full force and effect].

4. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter, or the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes in any court of the State of [insert state of incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower] or in any federal court sitting in the State of [insert state of incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower], such court would recognize and give effect to the provisions in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes wherein the parties thereto agree that the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a court of the State of [insert state of incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower]or a federal court sitting in the State of [insert state of incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower]would apply the usury law of the State of New York, and would not apply the usury law of the State of [insert state of incorporation of the

Subsidiary Borrower], to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter or the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes. However, if a court were to hold that the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes are governed by, and are to be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of [insert state of incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower], to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes would be, under the laws of the State of [insert state of incorporation of the Subsidiary Borrower], legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower parties thereto, enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Borrower parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms.

5. To the best of my knowledge, there are no pending overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Subsidiary Borrower before any court or administrative agency that (i) purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Subsidiary Letter or any of the Subsidiary Borrower’s Notes, or (ii) except as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements delivered to you prior to the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement are reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on the financial condition or operations of the Subsidiary Borrower which is likely to impair the ability of the Subsidiary Borrower to repay Advances to it or which would affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such Advances or its Notes.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

Very truly yours,

FORM OF GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is made and entered into this day of , 200 , by THE BOEING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“TBC”) in favor of the LENDERS (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined below) and CITIBANK, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

RECITALS

This Guaranty is executed and delivered in connection with the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of November , 2003, among The Boeing Company, the Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as syndication agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the Agent (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides that certain subsidiaries of TBC may, upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth therein, become a Subsidiary Borrower for purposes of the Credit Agreement and have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower thereunder. One of the conditions precedent to the making of any Advances to any particular Subsidiary Borrower is the execution and delivery of this Guaranty.

In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce the Lenders to make Advances and other credit accommodations under the Credit Agreement to [insert name of the Subsidiary Borrower] (the “Subject Subsidiary Borrower”), TBC hereby agrees as follows:

1. Guarantee. TBC hereby guarantees punctual payment when due (subject to applicable grace periods, if any), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, by the Subject Subsidiary Borrower of each and every payment obligation of such Subject Subsidiary Borrower arising under the Credit Agreement and the promissory notes delivered thereunder (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, TBC’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Subject Subsidiary Borrower to the Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Subject Subsidiary Borrower. Upon receipt of a demand for payment from the guaranteed party in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, TBC will effect payment within thirty (30) days of receipt.

2. Liability of Guarantor.

2.1 TBC agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than indefeasible payment in full of the

Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, TBC agrees that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon TBC and its successors and assigns until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full. TBC agrees that the release or discharge, in whole or in part, or the bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of the Subject Subsidiary Borrower, shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of TBC hereunder.

2.2 TBC guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Guaranty, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender or the Agent with respect thereto. The obligations of TBC under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against TBC to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Subject Subsidiary Borrower or any other Borrower or whether the Subject Subsidiary Borrower or any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of TBC under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and TBC hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument respectively relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Guaranty or the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any extension pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement);

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

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

(e) any other circumstance, (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, TBC, the Subject Subsidiary Borrower, any other Borrower or any other guarantor (other than indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

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

3. Notices,_etc. All notices, demands and other communications provided for under this Guaranty shall be in writing and may be given by first class mail (postage prepaid), telecopy or any other customary means of communication, addressed to TBC at the address set forth below, or to such other address as TBC may advise in a written notice to the Agent:

4. No Waiver: Cumulative Rights. No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Agent of any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Agent and the Lenders or allowed by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised from time to time.

5. Waivers.

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

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

The Boeing Company

Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.4(f) of the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of November , 2003, among The Boeing Company, the lenders parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as syndication agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for the lenders (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I am counsel to the Company, and have acted in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Borrower Subsidiary Letter, dated as of [month, date, year], by the Company and , a Subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary Borrower” and such letter, the “Borrower Subsidiary Letter”) and the execution and delivery of the Guaranty Agreement, dated as of [month, date, year], made by the Company in favor of the Agent and the Lenders (the “Guaranty”) in conjunction with the initial Borrowing made by the Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

In that connection, I have or have had examined:

(4) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and all amendments thereto (the “Charter”).

(5) The by-laws of the Company and all amendments thereto (the “By-Laws”).

Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as I have deemed necessary, I am of the following opinions:

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Borrower Subsidiary Letter and the Guaranty are within the Company’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Charter or the By-laws or (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iii) any contractual or legal restriction binding on the Company.

4. To the best of my knowledge, there are no pending overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or administrative agency which purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Borrower Subsidiary Letter or the Guaranty.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

My opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of 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).
