PART I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Visteon Corporation
 
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Visteon Corporation and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ (deficit) / equity and cash flows for the year then ended, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005; in our report dated March 16, 2006, we expressed (i) an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements, (ii) an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and (iii) an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not presented herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2005 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1. Description of Business and Company Background
 
Visteon Corporation (the “Company” or “Visteon”) is a leading global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components to global vehicle manufacturers and the automotive aftermarket. Headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan, with regional headquarters in Kerpen, Germany and Shanghai, China, the Company has a workforce of approximately 46,000 employees and a network of manufacturing operations, technical centers, sales offices and joint ventures in every major geographic region of the world.
 
ACH Transactions
 
On May 24, 2005, the Company and Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), setting forth a framework for the transfer of 23 North American facilities and related assets and liabilities (the “Business”) to a Ford-controlled entity. In September 2005, the Company and Ford entered into several definitive agreements and the Company completed the transfer of the Business to Automotive Components Holdings, LLC (“ACH”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
On October 1, 2005, Ford acquired from Visteon all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the parent of ACH in exchange for Ford’s payment to the Company of approximately $300 million, as well as the forgiveness of certain other postretirement employee benefit (“OPEB”) liabilities and other obligations relating to hourly employees associated with the Business, and the assumption of certain other liabilities with respect to the Business (together, the “ACH Transactions”). Additionally, on October 1, 2005, Ford acquired from the Company warrants to acquire 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock and agreed to provide funds to be used in the Company’s further restructuring.
 
The Company maintains significant commercial relationships with Ford and its affiliates. Accordingly, transactions with Ford constitute a significant amount of the Company’s product sales and services revenues, accounts receivable and certain postretirement benefit obligations, as summarized below:

NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation
 
Interim Financial Statements:  The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation — (Continued)
 
These interim consolidated financial statements include adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company’s management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results.
 
Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and over which the Company exercises control. Investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are accounted for using the equity method. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of certain entities in which the Company holds a controlling interest based on exposure to economic risks and potential rewards (variable interests) for which it is the primary beneficiary.
 
Reclassifications:  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
 
Revenue Recognition:  The Company ships product and records revenue pursuant to commercial agreements with its customers generally in the form of an approved purchase order, including the effects of contractual customer price productivity. The Company does negotiate discrete price changes with its customers, which are generally the result of unique commercial issues between the Company and its customers and are generally the subject of specific negotiations between the Company and its customers. The Company records amounts associated with discrete price changes as a reduction to revenue when specific facts and circumstances indicate that a price reduction is probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable. The Company records amounts associated with discrete price changes as an increase to revenue upon execution of a legally enforceable contractual agreement and when collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Management believes that such estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable and appropriate. However, due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual results may differ from those provided in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” Under this statement, companies must recognize a net asset or liability representing the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans beginning with the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. Implementation of this standard will result in an additional non-current liability on the Company’s balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to accumulated other comprehensive loss (after consideration of tax effects); such recognition will not affect the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The amount of this liability is dependent on actuarial valuations and plan asset values as of the September 30, 2006 measurement date, as well as foreign currency exchange rates as of December 31, 2006. The Company estimates that the pre-tax charge to equity could range from $125 to $175 million. Additionally, the Company expects that the effect of the implementation of this standard on its financial covenants will be immaterial.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation — (Continued)
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement, which becomes effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements,” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 clarifies that the evaluation of financial statement misstatements must be made based on all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors; this is referred to as a “dual approach.” The adoption of SAB 108 is effective for the year ending December 31, 2006 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109 with respect to recognition and measurement of tax positions that are taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and is effective January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 (“SFAS 156”), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.” This statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective on January 1, 2007 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payments.” This statement requires that all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated fair value. SFAS 123(R) was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. In accordance with the modified-prospective method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Under the modified-prospective method, compensation expense includes:
 
•  Share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, (“SFAS 123”) “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”
 
•  Share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).
 
The cumulative effect, net of tax, of adoption of SFAS 123(R) was $4 million or $0.03 per share as of January 1, 2006. The Company recorded $1 million, or $0.01 per share, and $12 million, or $0.10 per share, of incremental compensation expense during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, under SFAS 123(R) when compared to the amount that would have been recorded under SFAS 123. Additional disclosures required by SFAS 123(R) regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and related accounting are provided in Note 3 “Stock-Based Compensation.”

NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation — (Continued)
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and effective January 1, 2003 the Company began expensing the fair value of stock-based awards granted to employees pursuant to SFAS 123. This standard was adopted on the prospective method basis for stock-based awards granted, modified or settled after December 31, 2002. For stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, the Company measured compensation cost using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” as permitted by SFAS 123. If compensation cost for all stock-based awards had been determined based on the estimated fair value of stock options and the fair value at the date of grant for restricted stock awards, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s reported net loss and net loss per share would have resulted in the pro forma amounts provided below:

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (“SFAS 151”), “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This statement clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) and requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 was adopted by the Company effective from January 1, 2006 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
NOTE 3. Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, and accordingly prior period amounts have not been restated to reflect and do not include the impact of SFAS 123(R). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company recorded compensation expense including the cumulative effect of change in accounting, for various stock-based compensation awards issued pursuant to the plans described below in the amounts of $17 million and $18 million, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $47 million and $25 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. No related income tax benefits were recorded during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans
 
The Visteon Corporation 2004 Incentive Plan (“2004 Incentive Plan”) that was approved by shareholders, is administered by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance stock rights, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock and various other rights based on common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards under the 2004 Incentive Plan is approximately 22 million shares, including an additional 7 million shares approved on May 10, 2006. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted under the 2004 Incentive Plan approximately 20,000 and 2 million RSUs, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted approximately 5 million SARs, 25,000 RSAs and 41,000 stock options under the 2004 Incentive Plan. No SARs, RSAs or stock options were granted during the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, there were approximately 8 million shares of common stock available for grant under the 2004 Incentive Plan.
 
The Visteon Corporation Employees Equity Incentive Plan (“EEIP”) that was approved by shareholders is administered by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options, SARs, performance stock rights and stock, and various other rights based on common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards under the EEIP is approximately 7 million shares. At September 30, 2006, there were approximately 1 million shares of common stock available for grant under the EEIP although the Company has not granted shares under this plan during 2006.
 
The Visteon Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Unit Plan provides for the automatic annual grant of RSUs to non-employee directors. RSUs awarded under the Non-Employee Director Stock Unit Plan vest immediately, but are settled after the participant terminates service as a non-employee director of the Company.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Awards
 
The Company’s stock-based compensation awards take the form of stock options, SARs, RSAs and RSUs.
 
•  Stock options and SARs granted under the aforementioned plans have an exercise price equal to the average of the highest and lowest prices at which the Company’s common stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant and become exercisable on a ratable basis over a three year vesting period. Stock options and SARs granted under the 2004 Incentive Plan after December 31, 2003 expire five to seven years following the grant date. Stock options granted under the EEIP, and those granted prior to January 1, 2004 under the 2004 Incentive Plan, expire 10 years after the grant date. Stock options are settled in shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise. Accordingly, such amount is recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Additional paid-in capital.” SARs are settled in cash and accordingly result in the recognition of a liability representing the vested portion of the obligation. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately $27 million and less than $1 million, respectively, of such liability is recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Other non-current liabilities.”

•  RSAs and RSUs granted under the aforementioned plans vest after a designated period of time (“time-based”), which is generally two to five years, or upon the achievement of certain performance goals (“performance-based”) at the completion of a performance period, which is generally three years. RSAs are settled in shares of the Company’s common stock upon the lapse of restrictions on the underlying shares. Accordingly, such amount is recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Additional paid-in capital.” RSUs awarded under the 2004 Incentive Plan are settled in cash and, accordingly, result in the recognition of a liability representing the vested portion of the obligation. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately $15 million and $1 million, respectively, of the current portion of such liability is recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Other current liabilities.” As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately $12 million and $13 million, respectively, of the long-term portion of such liability is recorded under the caption “Other non-current liabilities.”
 
Fair Value Estimation Methodology and Assumptions
 
The Company’s use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make various assumptions including the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility, and dividend yield. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. The risk-free rate for periods during the contractual life of stock-based compensation rewards is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Dividend yield assumptions are based on historical patterns and future expectations.
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its equity based awards. All other awards were based on the intrinsic value of the underlying stock. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:
 
                                 
    Three-Months Ended
    Nine-Months Ended
 
    September 30     September 30  
    2006     2005     2006     2005  
 
Expected term (in years)
    *       4       4       4  
Risk-free interest rate
    *       3.9 %     5.1 %     4.0 %
Expected volatility
    *       50.0 %     57.0 %     44.3 %
Expected dividend yield
    *       0.0 %     0.0 %     0.0 %
 
There were no stock options awarded for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006.
 
The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of SARs for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 are an expected term of 3 years, a risk-free rate of 4.6%, expected volatility of 60% and an expected dividend yield of zero.

NOTE 4. Restructuring Activities
 
The Company has undertaken various restructuring activities designed to achieve its strategic objectives and improve profitability. Restructuring activities include, but are not limited to, plant closures, employee reductions, production relocation, administrative realignment and consolidation of available capacity and resources. The Company expects to finance restructuring programs through cash reimbursement from an escrow account established pursuant to the ACH Transactions, from cash generated from its ongoing operations, or from cash available under its existing debt agreements, subject to the terms of applicable covenants. The Company does not expect that the execution of these programs will have a significant adverse impact on its liquidity position.

Escrow Agreement
 
Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2005, among the Company, Ford and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Ford paid $400 million into an escrow account for use by the Company to restructure its businesses. The Escrow Agreement provides that the Company will be reimbursed from the escrow account for the first $250 million of reimbursable restructuring costs, as defined in the Escrow Agreement, and up to one half of the next $300 million of such costs. Cash in the escrow account is invested, at the direction of the Company, in high quality, short-term investments and related investment earnings are credited to the account as earned. Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, investment earnings are not available for disbursement until the initial funding is utilized. The following table provides a reconciliation of amounts available in the escrow account.

2006 Restructuring Actions
 
On January 11, 2006, the Company announced a three-year improvement plan that involves certain underperforming and non-strategic plants and businesses and is designed to improve operating performance and achieve cost reductions. Activities associated with this plan are expected to affect up to 23 facilities with costs expected to include employee severance and termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, and production transfer costs.
 
The Company currently estimates that the total cash cost associated with this three-year improvement plan will be approximately $400 million, which is lower than the initially estimated amount of $550 million. The Company continues to achieve targeted cost reductions associated with the three-year improvement plan at a lower cost than expected due to higher levels of employee attrition and lower per employee severance cost resulting from changes to certain employee benefit plans during 2006. The Company anticipates that approximately $300 million of cash costs incurred under the three-year improvement plan will be reimbursed from the escrow account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Generally, charges are recorded as elements of the plan are finalized and the timing of activities and the amount of related costs are not likely to change.
 
The Company has incurred $72 million in cumulative restructuring costs related to the three-year improvement plan including $35 million, $18 million, $13 million and $6 million for the Other, Electronics, Interiors and Climate product groups respectively. Substantially all restructuring expenses recorded to date relate to employee severance and termination benefit costs and are aggregated as “Restructuring expenses” on the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 4. Restructuring Activities — (Continued)
 
On October 31, 2006 the Company announced a plan to reduce its salaried workforce by approximately 900 people in response to significant reductions in vehicle production by a number of the Company’s customers. The Company expects to record a charge of up to $65 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, offset by an equivalent amount of recovery from the escrow account. The Company anticipates that this action will generate up to $75 million of annual savings when completed.
 
Significant restructuring actions under the three-year improvement plan for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 include the following:
 
•  Approximately $6 million of severance and termination benefit costs for approximately 1,000 employees related to a restructuring initiative at a North American Electronics manufacturing facility.
 
•  Approximately $5 million related to the announced closure of a North American Interiors manufacturing facility, comprised of approximately $4 million for an early termination lease penalty and approximately $1 million for severance for 265 hourly and 26 salaried employees.
 
•  Approximately $2 million of severance and termination benefit costs for 21 hourly employees related to the exit of certain assembly operations at a European Interiors manufacturing facility.
 
In addition to the above, significant restructuring actions for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 include the following:
 
•  Approximately $6 million related to workforce reduction activities in Electronics manufacturing facilities in Mexico and Portugal for employee severance and termination benefit costs for approximately 500 hourly and 50 salaried employees.
 
•  Approximately $6 million related to the announced closure of a European Interiors manufacturing facility for employee severance and termination benefits costs for approximately 150 hourly and salaried employees.
 
•  Approximately $3 million related to a Climate manufacturing facility in Mexico for employee severance and termination benefit costs associated with approximately 350 hourly and salaried employees.

Reserve utilization primarily includes cash payments and reclassifications between restructuring reserves and post-employment benefit obligations. For the three-months ended September 30, 2006, approximately $8 million of utilization was related to cash payments and $1 million related to the reclassification of postretirement benefit obligations.
 
NOTE 5. Asset Impairments
 
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $22 million and $1,176 million, respectively, to adjust property and equipment to their estimated fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). The fair value of property and equipment is based upon estimated discounted future cash flows and estimates of salvage value. These impairment charges represent the difference between the estimated fair values and the carrying value of the subject assets.
 
2006 Asset Impairments
 
During the second quarter of 2006 the Company announced the closure of a European Interiors facility. In connection with this action, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $10 million to reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets to their estimated fair value.
 
Also during the second quarter of 2006 and in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,” the Company determined that an “other than temporary” decline in the fair market value of its investment in Vitro Flex, S.A. de C.V. (“Vitro Flex”) had occurred. Consequently, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in Vitro Flex by approximately $12 million to its estimated fair market value at June 30, 2006.
 
2005 Asset Impairments
 
On May 24, 2005, the Company and Ford entered into a non-binding MOU, setting forth a framework for the transfer of the Business to a Ford-controlled entity. In September 2005, the Company and Ford entered into several definitive agreements and the Company completed the transfer of the Business to ACH, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Following the signing of the MOU and at June 30, 2005, the Company classified the manufacturing facilities and associated assets, including inventory, machinery, equipment and tooling to be sold as “held for sale.” The liabilities to be assumed or forgiven by Ford pursuant to the ACH Transactions, including employee liabilities and postretirement employee benefits payable to Ford were classified as “liabilities associated with assets held for sale” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet following the signing of the MOU. SFAS 144 requires long-lived assets that are considered “held for sale” to be measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell and future depreciation of such assets is ceased. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s Automotive Operations segment recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $920 million to write-down those assets considered “held for sale” to their aggregate estimated fair value less cost to sell.
 
Additionally, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Automotive Operations segment recorded an impairment charge of $256 million to reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets considered to be “held for use” to their estimated fair value. The impairment assessment was performed pursuant to impairment indicators including lower than anticipated current and near term future production volumes and the related impact on the Company’s projected operating results and cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

NOTE 6. Acquisitions and Divestitures
 
On September 29, 2006, the Company and its joint venture partners Vitro Plan, S.A. de C.V. and Vidrio Plano de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively “Vitro”) entered into a Master Termination and Withdrawal Agreement whereby the Company agreed to withdraw from the Vitro Flex joint venture. The Company received proceeds of $9 million for its withdrawal, which approximated the carrying value of the Company’s investment. Proceeds included a four-year non-interest bearing note receivable from Vitro payable in equal annual installments of $1.85 million through 2010. This non-interest bearing note receivable has been recorded at its discounted value of approximately $7 million.
 
On April 27, 2006, the Company’s wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary Carplastic, S.A. de C.V. acquired all of the real property, inventories, furniture, fixtures, tools, and related equipment of Guide Lighting Technologies of Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., a lighting manufacturing facility located in Monterrey, Mexico. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocated the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired. The sum of the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities acquired exceeded the cost of the acquired entity and that excess was allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that otherwise would have been assigned to all of the acquired non-financial assets (i.e. property and equipment). An excess of $8 million remained after reducing to zero the amounts that otherwise would have been assigned to the non-financial assets, and was recorded as an extraordinary gain in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 7. Accounts Receivable Transfers
 
European Securitization
 
Effective August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a European accounts receivable securitization facility (“European Securitization”) that extends until August 2011 and provides up to $325 million in funding from the sale of certain customer trade account receivables originating from Company subsidiaries located in Germany, Portugal, Spain, France and the U.K. (“Sellers”). Under the European Securitization, receivables originated by the Sellers and certain of their subsidiaries are transferred to Visteon Financial Centre P.L.C. (the “Transferor”). The Transferor is a bankruptcy-remote qualifying special purpose entity. Receivables transferred from the Sellers are funded through cash obtained from the issuance of variable loan notes to third-party lenders and through subordinated loans obtained from a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, representing the Company’s retained and beneficial interests in the receivables transferred.
 
Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the Company receives consideration other than a beneficial interest, are accounted for as “true sales” under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (“SFAS 140”), “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and are removed from the balance sheet. The Company recorded true sales of approximately $64 million at a loss of approximately $1 million during the three-months ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company has approximately $21 million of retained amounts related to these sales as of September 30, 2006. Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the Company receives a beneficial interest are not removed from the balance sheet and total $281 million as of September 30, 2006. The carrying value of the Company’s retained and beneficial interests in the receivables approximates fair value due to the current nature of the maturities and are subordinated to the interests of the third-party lenders.

NOTE 7. Accounts Receivable Transfers — (Continued)
 
Availability of funding under the European Securitization depends primarily upon the amount of trade accounts receivables, reduced by outstanding borrowings under the program and other characteristics of those receivables that affect their eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor, delinquency and excessive concentration). As of September 30, 2006, approximately $112 million of the Company’s transferred receivables were considered eligible for borrowing under this facility, $60 million was outstanding and $24 million was available for funding.
 
The Sellers act as servicing agents and continue to service the transferred receivables for which they receive a monthly servicing fee based on the aggregate amount of the outstanding purchased receivables. The Company is required to pay a monthly fee to the lenders based on the unused portion of the European Securitization.
 
Other
 
The Company has certain factoring agreements in place whereby trade accounts receivable are sold to third-party financial institutions without recourse. The Company sold 60 million euro ($76 million), and 99 million euro ($117 million) under such agreements in Europe as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Additionally, the Company sold 830 million Japanese yen ($7 million) of trade receivables under such agreements as of December 31, 2005.
 
The Company recognized losses of approximately $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and less than $1 million and approximately $1 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Such losses represent the discount from book values at which these receivables were sold to third parties.

NOTE 13. Debt — (Continued)
 
The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on certain assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries, including real property, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other tangible and intangible property, including the capital stock of nearly all direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than those domestic subsidiaries the sole assets of which are capital stock of foreign subsidiaries), as well as a second-priority lien on substantially all other material tangible and intangible assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries which secure the Company’s term loan agreement entered into on June 13, 2006. The terms of the agreement limit the obligations secured by certain U.S. assets to ensure compliance with the Company’s bond indenture. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest based on a variable rate interest option selected at the time of borrowing.
 
On June 13, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of third-party lenders to provide for an $800 million seven-year secured term loan and used the proceeds from that loan to repay borrowings and interest under the $350 million 18-month term loan, the $241 million five-year term loan, and amounts outstanding under the five-year revolving credit facility. Subsequent to closing on the new term loan, the Company initiated open market purchases of its 8.25% notes due 2010. The Company purchased $150 million of the notes at an all-in weighted cost of 94.16% of par, resulting in a gain on early extinguishment of approximately $8 million.
 
The $800 million seven-year secured term loan is secured by a first-priority lien on certain assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries, including intellectual property, intercompany debt, the capital stock of nearly all direct and indirect subsidiaries (excluding Halla Climate Control) and 65% of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries as well as a second-priority lien on substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries. The terms of the facilities limit the obligations secured by certain U.S. assets to ensure compliance with the Company’s bond indenture. Borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest based on a variable rate interest option selected at the time of borrowing and mature on June 13, 2013.
 
Interest Rate Swaps
 
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps for a portion of the 8.25% notes due August 1, 2010 ($125 million) and for a portion of the 7.00% notes due March 10, 2014 ($225 million). These interest rate swaps effectively convert the designated portions of these notes from fixed interest rate to variable interest rate instruments in connection with the Company’s risk management policies. The Company’s fixed-for-variable interest rate swaps have been designated as fair value hedges and the effect of marking these contracts to market has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a direct adjustment to the underlying debt. The adjustment does not affect the results of operations unless the contract is terminated, in which case the resulting gain or loss on termination is recorded as a valuation adjustment of the underlying debt and is amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the debt.

Retirement Benefit Related Restructuring Expenses
 
In addition to retirement benefit expenses, the Company has recorded certain retirement benefit-related restructuring charges in connection with restructuring activities related to the Company’s three-year improvement plan. Such charges are initially recorded as restructuring expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and related liabilities are subsequently reclassified to pension and OPEB liabilities. Approximately $1 million was recorded for such retirement benefit-related restructuring charges for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006.
 
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company recognized $11 million of retirement benefit-related restructuring charges which resulted from a curtailment loss associated with a non-U.S. pension plan reflecting a reduction in expected future years of service for plan participants expected to transfer employment from a Company manufacturing facility to a Ford facility. In addition, the Company recorded $4 million of retirement benefit-related restructuring charges during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 resulting from a pension loss related to the continuation of the voluntary termination incentive program in the U.S. and special termination benefits related to certain non-U.S. pensions.

The Company presently anticipates additional contributions to its U.S. retirement plans and postretirement health care and life insurance plans of $2 million and $12 million, respectively, in 2006 for a total of $53 million and $31 million, respectively. The Company also anticipates additional 2006 contributions to non-U.S. retirement plans of $24 million for a total of $58 million.
 
Curtailments
 
During the third quarter, approximately 200 hourly employees were laid off at certain U.S. manufacturing facilities, resulting in a reduction in expected future years of service in the related retirement and postretirement health care plans. As a result, the Company expects to recognize a net curtailment gain of approximately $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
 
Postretirement Benefit Related Relief
 
Effective January 1, 2006, Ford acquired two plants from ACH, which are located in Rawsonville, Michigan and Sterling Heights, Michigan. In connection with this transaction and the Salaried Employee Transition Agreement between the Company and Ford, certain salaried employees of the Company were transferred to Ford who were eligible for benefits or had rights to benefits under Ford’s postretirement health care and life insurance plans. The Company reported in the consolidated statements of operations as “Cost of sales” approximately $24 million related to the relief of postretirement benefits payable to Ford during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 and recorded curtailment gains of approximately $48 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 related to the reduction in expected future service in Visteon sponsored postretirement health care and life insurance plans and retirement plans.
 
NOTE 15. Income Taxes
 
The Company’s provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against income (loss) before income taxes, excluding related equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates for the period. Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” the Company is required to adjust its effective tax rate each three-month period to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate.

NOTE 15. Income Taxes — (Continued)
 
For both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, income taxes included the impact of maintaining a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. As a result, income tax benefits attributable to pre-tax losses incurred in the affected jurisdictions were not provided. The Company recorded a provision of $10 million and $57 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, as compared with a provision of $21 million and $41 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005. The provisions for both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 reflect income tax expense related to those countries where the Company is profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected, accrued withholding taxes, and certain non-recurring and other discrete tax items, including changes in other comprehensive loss principally due to foreign currency exchange rates.
 
The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will continue to cause variability in the Company’s quarterly and annual effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries, which include the U.K. and Germany, will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them.

NOTE 17. Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing reported net loss by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, adjusted for restricted stock. The calculation of diluted loss per share takes into account the effect of dilutive potential common stock, such as stock options, and contingently returnable shares, such as restricted stock.

NOTE 18. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Guarantees
 
The Company has guaranteed approximately $99 million and $136 million of debt capacity held by subsidiaries, and $99 million and $84 million for lifetime lease payments held by subsidiaries at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, the Company has guaranteed certain Tier 2 suppliers’ debt and lease obligations and other third-party service providers’ obligations of up to $17 million at September 30, 2006 and $20 million at December 31, 2005, to ensure the continued supply of essential parts.
 
Litigation and Claims
 
In February 2005, a shareholder lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against the Company and certain current and former officers of the Company. In July 2005, the Public Employees’ Retirement System of Mississippi was appointed as lead plaintiff in this matter. In September 2005, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which alleges, among other things, that the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, made misleading statements of material fact or omitted to state material facts necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The named plaintiff seeks to represent a class consisting of purchasers of the Company’s securities during the period between June 28, 2000 and January 31, 2005. Class action status has not yet been certified in this litigation. On August 31, 2006, the defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim was granted. The plaintiffs have appealed this decision.
 
In March 2005, a number of current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in two shareholder derivative suits pending in the State of Michigan Circuit Court for the County of Wayne. As is customary in derivative suits, the Company has been named as a defendant in these actions. As a nominal defendant, the Company is not liable for any damages in these suits nor is any specific relief sought against the Company. The complaints allege that, among other things, the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of good faith and loyalty and aided and abetted such breaches during the period between January 23, 2004 and January 31, 2005 in connection with the Company’s conduct concerning, among other things, the matters alleged in the securities class action discussed immediately above. The derivative matters have been stayed pending resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss the securities matter pending in the Eastern District of Michigan and any related appeal.
 
In March and April 2005, the Company and a number of current and former employees, officers and directors were named as defendants in three class action lawsuits brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. In September 2005, the plaintiffs filed an amended and consolidated complaint, which generally alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA during the class period by, among other things, continuing to offer Visteon stock as an investment alternative under the Visteon Investment Plan (and the Visteon Savings Plan for Hourly Employees, together the “Plans”), failing to disclose complete and accurate information regarding the prudence of investing in Visteon stock, failing to monitor the actions of certain of the defendants, and failing to avoid conflicts of interest or promptly resolve them. These ERISA claims are predicated upon factual allegations similar to those raised in the derivative and securities class actions described immediately above. The consolidated complaint was brought on behalf of a named plaintiff and a putative class consisting of all participants or beneficiaries of the Plans whose accounts included Visteon stock at any time from July 20, 2001 through May 25, 2005. In November 2005, the defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on various grounds. Settlement negotiations are currently on-going in this matter.

In June 2006, the Company and Ford Motor Company were named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit brought under ERISA in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of certain former salaried employees of the Company associated with two plants located in Michigan. The complaint alleges that the Company and Ford violated their fiduciary duties under ERISA when they established and spun off the Company and allocated certain pension liabilities between them, and later when they transferred the subject employees to Ford as new hires in 2006 after Ford acquired the plants. In August 2006, the Company and Ford moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which are currently pending.
 
The Company and its current and former directors and officers intend to contest the foregoing lawsuits vigorously. However, at this time the Company is not able to predict with certainty the final outcome of each of the foregoing lawsuits or its potential exposure with respect to each such lawsuit. In the event of an unfavorable resolution of any of these matters, the Company’s earnings and cash flows in one or more periods could be materially affected to the extent any such loss is not covered by insurance or applicable reserves.
 
Product Warranty and Recall
 
Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts that will ultimately be required to settle such items. The Company’s estimates for product warranty and recall obligations are developed with support from its sales, engineering, quality and legal functions and include due consideration of contractual arrangements, past experience, current claims and related information, production changes, industry and regulatory developments and various other considerations. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers.
 
The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in product warranty and recall liability for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

Environmental Matters
 
The Company is subject to the requirements of federal, state, local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. The Company is also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at properties it presently owns or operates and at third-party disposal or treatment facilities to which these sites send or arranged to send hazardous waste.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 18. Commitments and Contingencies — (Continued)
 
The Company is aware of contamination at some of its properties and relating to various third-party superfund sites at which the Company or its predecessor has been named as a potentially responsible party. The Company is in various stages of investigation and cleanup at these sites and at September 30, 2006, has recorded a reserve of approximately $8 million for these activities. However, estimating liabilities for environmental investigation and cleanup is complex and dependent upon a number of factors beyond the Company’s control which may change dramatically. Although the Company believes its reserve is adequate based on current information, the Company cannot provide assurance that the eventual environmental investigation, cleanup costs and related liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserve.
 
Other Contingent Matters
 
In addition to the matters discussed above, various other legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company, including those arising out of alleged defects in the Company’s products, governmental regulations relating to safety, employment-related matters, customer, supplier and other contractual relationships, and intellectual property rights. Some of the foregoing matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for equitable relief, sanctions, or other relief.
 
Contingencies are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by the Company for matters where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that some of the matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated at September 30, 2006 and that are in excess of established reserves. The Company does not reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.
 
The Company enters into agreements that contain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business for which the risks are considered nominal and impracticable to estimate.
 
NOTE 19. Segment Information
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires the Company to disclose certain financial and descriptive information about certain segments of its business. Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or a decision-making group, in deciding the allocation of resources and in assessing performance.
 
In late 2005 the Company announced a new operating structure to manage the business on a go-forward basis, post the ACH Transactions. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 the Company completed the realignment of its information systems and reporting structures to facilitate financial reporting for the new operating structure. Accordingly, segment disclosures have been updated to reflect the current operating structure and comparable prior period segment data has been revised.

Executive Summary
 
Business Overview
 
Visteon Corporation is a leading global supplier of climate, interiors, electronics and other automotive systems, modules and components to vehicle manufacturers as well as the automotive aftermarket. The Company sells to the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers including BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai / Kia, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault-Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen.
 
The Company has a broad network of manufacturing, technical engineering and joint venture operations throughout the world, supported by approximately 46,000 employees dedicated to the design, development, manufacture and support of its product offering and its global customers, and conducts its business across five segments: Climate, Interiors, Electronics, Other and Services.
 
Visteon has embarked upon a multi-phase, multi-year plan to focus its business, improve its operating position and competitive profile and to ultimately achieve sustainable profitability. A significant milestone in this long-term plan was the successful completion of the ACH Transactions with Ford on October 1, 2005. Although the ACH Transactions resulted in a significant reduction in the Company’s total sales (the business constituted approximately $6 billion in 2005 sales through the date of the transaction), this business was loss making and the Company’s ability to improve profitability was significantly restricted given the inflexible operating arrangements. Further, pursuant to this transaction, the Company transferred all master Ford-UAW employees to ACH including full relief of approximately $2.2 billion of related postretirement employee obligations and received cash funding for future restructuring actions with the establishment of a $400 million escrow account funded by Ford under the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
 
In January 2006, the Company announced a three-year improvement plan designed to further restructure the business and improve profitability. This improvement plan identified certain underperforming and non-strategic facilities that require significant restructuring or potential sale or exit, as well as other infrastructure and cost reduction initiatives. This program is expected to have a cumulative cash cost of approximately $400 million, of which $300 million is expected to be reimbursed from the escrow account. The Company expects to record restructuring charges, and related reimbursement from the escrow account as available, as elements of the plan are finalized.
 
Highlights for the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2006

The automotive industry remains challenging in North America and Europe, with continued market share pressures concentrated with U.S. vehicle manufacturers. While the ACH Transactions significantly reduced the Company’s exposure to Ford’s North America vehicle production, Ford remains an important customer, constituting 44% of the Company’s product sales. Ford North America production volumes decreased year-over-year, which was partially offset by an increase in Ford Europe production volume. Further, the Company has significant content on certain key Nissan vehicles produced for the North American market and PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault-Nissan vehicles produced for the European market which posted year-over-year production declines. The Company’s net product sales and gross margin for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 were pressured by these vehicle production declines, unfavorable vehicle mix, a weakening aftermarket business in North America and deteriorating performance of certain Western European manufacturing facilities comprehended by the Company’s three-year improvement plan. These pressures were partially offset by net sales increases associated with new business launches and continued growth in the Company’s Asia Pacific operations.
 
Ford has recently announced further year-over-year reductions in North America vehicle production for the remainder of 2006 and into the first part of 2007. Continued declines in Ford’s vehicle production could materially affect the Company’s operating results and the Company continues to work with other vehicle manufacturers to further its sales growth and diversification. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company was awarded new forward year programs across all of its product groups by other vehicle manufacturers as well as Ford. These new programs, as well as awards during the first half of 2006, will further diversify the Company’s sales base in future years.
 
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $14 million of restructuring charges associated with its three-year improvement plan for severance and related benefits associated with manufacturing facility actions in the U.S., Mexico and Europe. These restructuring charges were offset by an equal amount of reimbursement from the escrow account. As part of the three-year improvement plan, the Company originally identified 23 facilities that were targeted for closure, divestiture or actions to improve profitability. During 2006, the Company has commenced restructuring actions under this plan and, to date, has substantially completed actions at seven facilities. The Company continues to pursue alternatives to address or exit certain facilities in Western Europe, including the possibility of divestitures or renegotiated labor arrangements. However, there is no assurance that a transaction or other arrangement will occur in the near term or at all. The Company’s ultimate course of action for these facilities will be dependent upon that which provides the greatest return to shareholders.
 
In light of current and expected near-term vehicle production levels by the Company’s key customers, on October 31, 2006 the Company announced a plan to reduce its salaried workforce by 900 people. The Company expects to record a charge of up to $65 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 for severance and related termination benefits, offset by an equivalent amount of recovery from the escrow account. The Company anticipates that this action, once fully completed, will yield annual savings of approximately $75 million.
 
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement to provide for up to $350 million in secured revolving loans and a European accounts receivable securitization facility to provide up to $325 million in funding principally from the sale of certain customer receivable balances, both of which expire in 2011. These facilities replaced the $500 million five year revolving credit facility due to expire in 2007.
 
The Company continues to execute its long-term improvement program however, there are a number of challenges that may negatively affect the Company’s future financial results, including customer production volumes, pricing pressures, labor disruptions and raw material costs. In connection with the long-term improvement program, the Company continues to assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets which may result in future impairment charges. The Company cannot provide assurances that the results of its actions will fully mitigate the potential impact of continued negative industry trends.

Net Sales
 
The Company’s net sales were $2.6 billion in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $4.1 billion in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $1.5 billion or 37%. The ACH Transactions resulted in a decrease of $1.8 billion, which was partially offset by services revenues of $133 million. Excluding the ACH Transactions and related eliminations and revenue from services provided to ACH, product sales increased by $66 million. Currency accounted for $90 million of the year-over-year increase. Sales were also higher in the Asia Pacific region despite work stoppages at Hyundai/Kia during the quarter. The increase in Asia Pacific sales reflected new business launched during the year and higher pass-through sales at a consolidated joint venture. The impact of currency and the increase in Asia Pacific sales were partially offset by lower sales in North America reflecting decreased Ford North America vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix, as well as lower non-Ford vehicle production, principally Nissan products.
 
Net sales for Climate were $691 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $627 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $64 million or 10%. Continued growth in the Company’s Asia Pacific consolidated subsidiaries increased net sales by $62 million, including favorable currency of $17 million. This growth was primarily driven by new business, partially offset by customer price reductions. Net sales in North America were $22 million lower year-over-year reflecting lower Ford North America vehicle production volume. Net sales in Europe were $24 million higher year-over-year reflecting higher Ford Europe vehicle production volume and favorable currency of $7 million.

Net sales for Electronics were $685 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $705 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $20 million or 3%. Vehicle production volume and mix decreased net sales by $45 million, primarily attributable to lower Ford and Nissan vehicle production volume, unfavorable product mix in North America and lower sales in Asia Pacific. These negative factors were partially offset by higher Ford Europe vehicle production volume. Customer price reductions were more than offset by price increases resulting from material commodity recoveries and product design actions. Favorable currency of $23 million, primarily in Europe, increased sales year-over-year.
 
Net sales for Interiors were $631 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $630 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005. Vehicle production volume and product mix decreased net sales by $27 million. Lower Ford and Nissan vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix in North America of $55 million and lower vehicle production by certain Europe OEM’s of $28 million were partially offset by increased sales in the Asia Pacific region of $56 million. The increase in Asia Pacific sales were primarily attributable to increased pass-through sales at a consolidated joint venture. Customer price reductions were more than offset by price increases resulting from raw material cost recoveries and product design actions. Favorable currency of $21 million in Europe and Asia Pacific increased sales year-over-year.
 
Net sales for Other were $627 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $606 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $21 million or 3%. Favorable currency contributed $22 million in the increase in net sales. Vehicle production volume and product mix decreased net sales by $8 million, primarily attributable to lower North America aftermarket and non-Ford Europe sales partially offset by increased South America sales. Customer price reductions were more than offset by price increases resulting from raw material cost recoveries and product design actions.
 
Services revenues were $133 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, related to information technology, engineering, administrative and other business support services provided by the Company approximating cost, under the terms of various agreements with ACH.
 
Gross Margin
 
The Company’s gross margin was $47 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $100 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $53 million or 53%. The decrease in gross margin is primarily explained by unfavorable vehicle volumes and mix of $43 million, unfavorable operating performance associated with the volume declines and deteriorating operating performance of certain Western European manufacturing facilities comprehended by the Company’s three-year improvement plan. In addition, the nonrecurrence of favorable commodity hedges in 2005 and an arbitration settlement of $9 million in 2006 contributed to the decrease in gross margin. These factors were partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense of $21 million primarily reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, material and manufacturing efficiencies, and the impact of the ACH Transactions of $11 million.
 
Gross margin for Climate was $9 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $20 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $11 million or 55%. Vehicle volume and mix increased gross margin $12 million, primarily attributable to continued growth of the Company’s Asia Pacific consolidated subsidiaries. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $14 million. This performance was more than offset by net customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs, principally aluminum, of $31 million. Unfavorable currency reduced gross margin by $5 million.

Gross margin for Electronics was $41 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $79 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $38 million or 48%. Lower vehicle production and unfavorable product mix reduced gross margin by $35 million, primarily attributable to lower Ford and non-Ford volumes in North America. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $10 million. This performance was offset by net customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs of $6 million. Unfavorable currency reduced gross margin by $7 million.
 
Gross margin for Interiors was $(14) million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, equal to the amount in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005. Lower vehicle production and unfavorable product mix reduced gross margin by $9 million, primarily attributable to lower Ford and Nissan production in North America. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $7 million. Additionally, price increases for raw material cost recoveries and product design actions more than offset customer price reductions and raw material cost increases, increasing gross margin by $4. Unfavorable currency reduced gross margin by $2 million.
 
Gross margin for Other was $9 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $26 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $17 million or 65%. Lower vehicle production and unfavorable product mix reduced gross margin by $11 million, with North America, Europe, and Aftermarket volumes all contributing to the reduction. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $1 million, despite the unfavorable operating performance at certain Western Europe manufacturing facilities. This performance was partially offset by net customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs of $1 million and an arbitration settlement of $9 million, net of reserves. Favorable currency increased gross margin $2 million.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $177 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $239 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $62 million or 26%. Under the terms of various agreements between the Company and ACH, expenses previously classified as selling, general and administrative expenses incurred to support the business of ACH are now classified as “Cost of sales” in the consolidated statements of operations, comprising $59 million of the decrease. Fees associated with the closing of the European securitization facility were charged to expense in the quarter and resulted in an increase of $9 million. Expenses related to the Company’s stock-based compensation and annual employee incentive programs, reflecting the Company’s progress towards established 2006 financial objectives, decreased $6 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. Furthermore, selling, general, and administrative expenses were favorably impacted by lower OPEB and pension expenses and net cost efficiencies, partially offset by unfavorable currency of $3 million.
 
Interest
 
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 net interest expense of $40 million was $2 million higher than the three-month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average interest rates on outstanding debt of $4 million and higher average debt levels of $1 million offset by lower corporate bank line fees of $3 million.

Restructuring Activities
 
On January 11, 2006, the Company announced a three-year improvement plan that involves certain underperforming and non-strategic plants and businesses and is designed to improve operating performance and achieve cost reductions. Activities associated with this plan are expected to affect up to 23 facilities with costs expected to include employee severance and termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, and production transfer costs.
 
The Company currently estimates that the total cash cost associated with this three-year improvement plan will be approximately $400 million, which is significantly lower than the initially estimated amount of $550 million. The Company continues to achieve targeted cost reductions associated with the three-year improvement plan at a lower cost than expected due to higher levels of employee attrition and lower per employee severance cost resulting from changes to certain employee benefit plans during 2006. The Company anticipates that approximately $300 million of cash costs incurred under the three-year improvement plan will be reimbursed from the escrow account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Generally, charges are recorded as elements of the plan are finalized and the timing of activities and the amount of related costs are not likely to change.
 
The Company has incurred $72 million in cumulative restructuring costs related to the three-year improvement plan including $35 million, $18 million, $13 million and $6 million for the Other, Electronics, Interiors and Climate product groups respectively. Substantially all restructuring expenses recorded to date relate to employee severance and termination benefit costs and are aggregated as “Restructuring expenses” on the consolidated statements of operations.
 
On October 31, 2006 the Company announced a plan to reduce its salaried workforce by approximately 900 people in response to significant reductions in vehicle production by a number of the Company’s customers. The Company expects to record a charge of up to $65 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, offset by an equivalent amount of recovery from the escrow account. The Company anticipates that this action will generate up to $75 million of annual savings when completed.
 
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 the Company recorded $14 million of severance and other restructuring costs related to its three-year improvement plan. The most significant of the 2006 costs include the following:
 
•  Approximately $6 million of severance and termination benefit costs for approximately 1,000 employees related to a restructuring initiative at a North American Electronics manufacturing facility.
 
•  Approximately $5 million related to the announced closure of a North American Interiors manufacturing facility, comprised of approximately $4 million for a early termination lease penalty and approximately $1 million for severance for 265 hourly and 26 salaried employees.
 
•  Approximately $2 million of severance and termination benefit costs for 21 hourly employees related to the exit of certain assembly operations at a European Interiors manufacturing facility.
 
During the same period of 2005, restructuring expenses were comprised of an $11 million pension curtailment charge relating to a European workforce reduction plan.
 
The Company continues to evaluate alternatives for certain Western European manufacturing facilities comprehended by the three-year improvement plan, including potential divestitures, which may result in significant gains or losses. The Company cannot predict the timing or range of such amounts, if any, which may result.

Income Taxes
 
The provision for income taxes was $10 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with a provision of $21 million in the same period in 2005. Income taxes during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 included the impact of maintaining a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. As a result, income tax benefits attributable to pre-tax losses incurred in the affected jurisdictions were not provided. The provisions for both of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 reflect income tax expense related to those countries where the Company is profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected, accrued withholding taxes, and certain non-recurring and other discrete tax items. Non-recurring and other discrete items recorded in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 included a $4 million provision for an increase to income tax audit reserves and exchange rate impacts on centrally held tax liabilities. The reduction in tax expense for the three month period ending September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily a result of a $15 million allocation of tax benefits to continuing operations, as it relates to gains recorded in other comprehensive loss.
 
The Company is currently progressing toward a restructuring of its legal entities in Europe, the final form of which is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2006. The impact of this restructuring is expected to result in a reduction to the tax cost of remitting earnings or cash from Europe and therefore, will likely result in a reduction to previously established tax liabilities when the structure is implemented and implications are quantified. The Company may also undertake a similar restructuring of its operations in Asia.

The ACH Transactions resulted in a decrease of $6.1 billion, which was offset partially by services revenues of $416 million. Excluding the ACH Transactions and related eliminations and revenue from services provided to ACH, product sales decreased by $173 million. Sales were significantly lower in North America reflecting decreased Ford vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix, and lower non-Ford vehicle production, principally Nissan products, and lower aftermarket sales. This decrease was partially offset by increases in the Europe and Asia Pacific regions, reflecting higher Ford Europe volumes, new business launched during the year, and higher pass-through sales at a consolidated joint venture. Favorable currency increased net sales by $38 million.
 
Net sales for Climate were $2.3 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $2.1 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $177 million or 8%. Continued growth in the Company’s Asia Pacific consolidated subsidiaries increased net sales by $257 million. This growth was primarily driven by new business, and included favorable currency of $37 million partially offset by customer price reductions. Net sales in the North America region were $71 million lower year-over-year. This decrease reflects lower Ford North America vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix partially offset by the launch of a new manufacturing facility in Alabama. Net sales in Europe were $26 million higher year-over-year reflecting higher Ford Europe vehicle production volume partially offset by unfavorable currency of $14 million.
 
Net sales for Electronics were $2.3 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $2.5 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $156 million or 6%. Vehicle volume and mix decreased net sales by $103 million, attributable to lower Ford and Nissan vehicle production volume and adverse product mix in North America and lower sales in Asia Pacific. This reduction was partially offset by higher Ford Europe vehicle production volume. Net customer price reductions decreased sales year-over-year and currency was unfavorable $39 million, primarily in Europe.
 
Net sales for Interiors were $2.1 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $2.3 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $231 million or 10%. Vehicle production volume and mix decreased net sales by $216 million, attributable to lower Ford and Nissan vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix in North America, and lower non-Ford vehicle production volume in Europe. This reduction was partially offset by higher Asia Pacific net sales, primarily due to higher pass-through sales at a consolidated joint venture. Net customer price decreases were more than offset by price increases resulting from raw material cost recoveries and product design actions. Currency was unfavorable $34 million, primarily in Europe.
 
Net sales for Other were $1.9 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $1.9 billion in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. Vehicle production volume and product mix increased net sales by $13 million. Increased production in the Asia Pacific and South America regions was partially offset by lower North America aftermarket sales. Net customer price decreases were more than offset by price increases resulting from raw material cost recoveries and product design actions. Currency was favorable $10 million, reflecting favorable currency movement in South America partially offset by Europe.
 
Services revenues were $416 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, related to information technology, engineering, administrative and other business support services provided by the Company approximating cost, under the terms of various agreements to ACH.

Gross Margin
 
The Company’s gross margin was $602 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $490 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $112 million or 23%. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to the assumption by Ford of OPEB and pension liabilities of $72 million related to the transfer of certain Visteon salaried employees supporting two ACH manufacturing facilities that were transferred to Ford in January 2006, lower depreciation and amortization expense of $60 million primarily reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, the benefit of the ACH Transactions of $42 million, and improved operating performance, partially offset by unfavorable vehicle production and mix of $103 million, unfavorable currency of $26 million, and a one time arbitration settlement of $9 million net of reserves.
 
Gross margin for Climate was $128 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $151 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $23 million or 15%. Although net sales increased during the period, unfavorable customer and product mix resulted in a decrease in gross margin of $2 million. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $58 million. This performance was offset by net customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs, principally aluminum, of $72 million. Unfavorable currency reduced gross margin by $8 million.
 
Gross margin for Electronics was $252 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $274 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $22 million or 8%. Vehicle production and product mix was unfavorable $88 million primarily in the North America and Europe regions. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments, and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $111 million. This performance was partially offset by net customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs of $30 million. Unfavorable currency reduced gross margin by $14 million.
 
Gross margin for Interiors was $28 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $5 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $23 million. Vehicle volume and product mix was unfavorable $21 million, primarily in the Europe region. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin $43 million. Favorable net customer pricing and settlements of $14 million were partially offset by increases in raw material costs of $7 million and unfavorable currency of $6 million.
 
Gross margin for Other was $118 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $102 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $16 million or 16%. Vehicle production and product mix was favorable by $8 million. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, including negotiated labor concessions in Germany, lower depreciation and amortization expense reflecting the impact of the 2005 asset impairments and lower OPEB expenses increased gross margin by $17 million. This performance was offset partially by increases in raw material costs and net customer price reductions of $2 million, and an arbitration settlement of $9 million, net of reserves. Favorable currency increased gross margin by $2 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $539 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $763 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $224 million or 29%. Under the terms of various agreements between the Company and ACH, expenses previously classified as selling, general and administrative expenses incurred to support the business of ACH are now classified as “Cost of sales” in the consolidated statements of operations, comprising $175 million of the decrease. Bad debt expense improved by $18 million reflecting the bankruptcy of a significant customer in the second quarter of 2005. Expenses related to the Company’s stock-based compensation and annual employee incentive programs, reflecting changes in the Company’s stock price and progress towards established 2006 financial objectives, increased $4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. OPEB and pension expenses, net cost efficiencies, and currency comprised the remainder of lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Interest
 
The nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 net interest expense of $117 million was $19 million higher than the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average interest rates on outstanding debt of $27 million and recognition of unamortized debt issuance costs relating to credit facilities terminated in June 2006 of $5 million, partially offset by a gain on debt extinguishment of $8 million and an increase in interest income of $5 million.
 
Asset Impairments
 
The Company recorded asset impairments of $22 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2006. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and in connection with restructuring activities undertaken at a European Interiors facility, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $10 million to reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets to their estimated fair value. Additionally, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,” the Company determined that an “other than temporary” decline in the fair market value of an investment in a joint venture in Mexico occurred. Consequently, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment by approximately $12 million to its estimated fair market value at June 30, 2006.
 
On May 24, 2005, the Company and Ford entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), setting forth a framework for the transfer of 23 North American facilities and related assets and liabilities (“the Business”) to a Ford-controlled entity. In September 2005, the Company and Ford entered into several definitive agreements and the Company completed the transfer of the Business to Automotive Component Holdings, LLC (“ACH”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Following the signing of the MOU and at June 30, 2005, the Company classified the manufacturing facilities and associated assets, including inventory, machinery, equipment and tooling to be sold as “held for sale.” The liabilities to be assumed or forgiven by Ford pursuant to the ACH Transactions, including employee liabilities and postretirement employee benefits payable to Ford were classified as “liabilities associated with assets held for sale” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet following the signing of the MOU. SFAS 144 requires long-lived assets that are considered “held for sale” to be measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell and future depreciation of such assets is ceased. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s Automotive Operations segment recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $920 million to write-down those assets considered “held for sale” to their aggregate estimated fair value less cost to sell.

Additionally, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Automotive Operations segment recorded an impairment charge of $256 million to reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets considered to be “held for use” to their estimated fair value. The impairment assessment was performed pursuant to impairment indicators including lower than anticipated current and near term future production volumes and the related impact on the Company’s projected operating results and cash flows.
 
Restructuring Activities
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $35 million of severance and other restructuring costs compared with $18 million for the same period in 2005.
 
Significant actions in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 include:
 
•  Approximately $6 million of severance and termination benefit costs for approximately 1,000 employees related to a restructuring initiative at a North American Electronics manufacturing facility.
 
•  Approximately $5 million related to the announced closure of a North American Interiors manufacturing facility, comprised of approximately $4 million for a early termination lease penalty and approximately $1 million for severance for 265 hourly and 26 salaried employees.
 
•  Approximately $2 million of severance and termination benefit costs for 21 hourly employees related to the exit of certain assembly operations at a European Interiors manufacturing facility.
 
•  Approximately $6 million related to workforce reduction activities in Electronics manufacturing facilities in Mexico and Portugal for employee severance and termination benefit costs for approximately 500 hourly and 50 salaried employees.
 
•  Approximately $6 million related to the announced closure of a European Interiors manufacturing facility for employee severance and termination benefits costs for approximately 150 hourly and salaried employees.
 
•  Approximately $3 million related to a Climate manufacturing facility in Mexico for employee severance and termination benefit costs associated with approximately 350 hourly and salaried employees.
 
The Company continues to evaluate alternatives under the three-year improvement plan, including divestitures, which may result in significant gains or losses.
 
Income Taxes
 
The provision for income taxes was $57 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $41 million in the same period in 2005. Income taxes during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 included the impact of maintaining a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. As a result, income tax benefits attributable to pre-tax losses incurred in the affected jurisdictions were not provided. The provisions for both the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, reflect primarily income tax expense related to those countries where the Company is profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected, accrued withholding taxes, and certain non-recurring and other discrete tax items. Non-recurring and other discrete items recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 included a $14 million benefit to restore net deferred tax assets associated with the Company’s operations in Brazil. Non-recurring and other discrete tax items recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 resulted in a net benefit of $37 million, including a net benefit related to adjustments to the Company’s income tax reserves, and benefits related to a change in the estimated benefit associated with tax losses in Canada and the favorable resolution of tax matters in Mexico.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
The Company’s cash and liquidity needs are impacted by the level, variability, and timing of its customers’ worldwide vehicle production, which varies based on economic conditions and market shares in major markets. The Company’s intra-year needs are impacted by seasonal effects in the industry, such as the shutdown of operations in July and August, the subsequent ramp-up of new model production and the additional one-week shutdown in December by its primary customers. These seasonal effects normally require use of liquidity resources during the three-month period ended March 31 and the three-month period ended September 30. Further, as the Company’s operating profitability has become more concentrated with its foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures, the Company’s cash balances located outside the U.S. continue to increase. As of September 30, 2006 approximately 80% of the Company’s cash balance is located in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. as compared to approximately 60% at December 31, 2005. The Company’s ability to efficiently access cash balances in certain foreign jurisdictions is subject to local regulatory, statutory and contractual requirements.
 
Credit Ratings
 
Moody’s current corporate rating of the Company is B2 and SGL rating is 3. The rating on senior unsecured debt is Caa1 with a negative outlook. On October 4, 2006 Moody’s placed the ratings under review for possible downgrade. On October 31, 2006, S&P lowered the current corporate rating of the Company to B and the Company’s short term liquidity to B-3 and maintained the negative outlook on the rating. Fitch’s current rating on the Company’s senior secured debt is B with a negative outlook.
 
Any further downgrade in the Company’s credit ratings could reduce its access to capital, increase the costs of future borrowings, and increase the possibility of more restrictive terms and conditions contained in any new or replacement financing arrangements or commercial agreements or payment terms with suppliers.
 
European Securitization
 
The Company entered into a European accounts receivable securitization facility (“European Securitization”) in August 2006 that extends until August 2011 and provides up to $325 million in funding principally from the sale of certain customer trade account receivables originating from Company subsidiaries located in Germany, Portugal, Spain, France and the U.K.
 
Availability of funding under the European Securitization depends primarily upon the amount of trade accounts receivables, reduced by outstanding borrowings under the program and other characteristics of those receivables that affect their eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor, delinquency and excessive concentration). As of September 30, 2006, approximately $112 million of the Company’s transferred receivable balance was considered eligible for borrowings under this facility, $60 million was outstanding and $24 million was available for funding. The facility allows, and management intends, to add more countries and receivables to the program, which is expected to increase future availability levels in excess of $200 million.
 
Debt
 
On June 13, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement ( the “term loan credit agreement”) for a $800 million seven-year secured term loan. The Company borrowed the full $800 million upon closing and repaid approximately $650 million of existing borrowings and accrued interest on outstanding credit facilities. This borrowing bears interest at a LIBOR plus 3% and matures on June 13, 2013. Subsequent to closing on the seven-year term loan, the Company initiated open market purchases of its 8.25% interest bearing notes due August 1, 2010. The Company purchased $150 million of these notes at an all-in weighted cost of 94.16% of par, resulting in a gain on early extinguishment of approximately $8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Table of Contents

On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “ABL credit agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, to provide for up to $350 million in secured revolving loans. The Company borrowed $25 million upon closing which was used for general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company had $94 million of obligations under letters of credit that reduced availability under the facility. The credit agreement expires on August 14, 2011. Borrowings under the ABL credit agreement bear interest based on a variable rate interest option selected at the time of borrowing. In addition, as of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $565 million of available borrowings under other committed and uncommitted facilities.
 
The Company had $1,932 million of outstanding long-term debt at September 30, 2006. This debt includes $550 million of notes bearing interest at 8.25% due August 1, 2010, $439 million of notes bearing interest at 7.00% due March 10, 2014, $800 million under the seven-year term loan bearing interest at LIBOR + 3% due June 13, 2013, and $143 million of various other, primarily non-U.S. affiliate, long-term debt instruments with various maturities.
 
Covenants and Restrictions
 
Subject to limited exceptions, each of the Company’s direct and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries acts as guarantor under its term loan credit agreement. The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on certain assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries, including intellectual property, intercompany debt, the capital stock of nearly all direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, and 65% of the stock of certain first tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as a second-priority lien on substantially all other material tangible and intangible assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries.
 
The obligations under the ABL credit agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on certain assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries, including real property, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other tangible and intangible property, including the capital stock of nearly all direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than those domestic subsidiaries the sole assets of which are capital stock of foreign subsidiaries), as well as a second-priority lien on substantially all other material tangible and intangible assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries which secure the Company’s term loan credit agreement.
 
The terms relating to both credit agreements specifically limit the obligations to be secured by a security interest in certain U.S. manufacturing properties and intercompany indebtedness and capital stock of U.S. manufacturing subsidiaries in order to ensure that, at the time of any borrowing under the Credit Agreement and other credit lines, the amount of the applicable borrowing which is secured by such assets (together with other borrowings which are secured by such assets and obligations in respect of certain sale-leaseback transactions) do not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as defined in the indenture applicable to the Company’s outstanding bonds and debentures).
 
The credit agreements contain, among other things, mandatory prepayment provisions for certain asset sales, recovery events, equity issuances and debt incurrence, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. Such covenants include certain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other repurchases in respect of capital stock, voluntary prepayments of certain other indebtedness, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, changes in fiscal periods, hedging arrangements, lines of business, negative pledge clauses, subsidiary distributions and the activities of certain holding company subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Table of Contents

Under certain conditions amounts outstanding under the credit agreements may be accelerated. Bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to us or certain of our subsidiaries will result in an automatic acceleration of the indebtedness under the credit agreements. Subject to notice and cure periods in certain cases, other events of default under the credit agreements will result in acceleration of indebtedness under the credit agreements at the option of the lenders. Such other events of default include failure to pay any principal, interest or other amounts when due, failure to comply with covenants, breach of representations or warranties in any material respect, non-payment or acceleration of other material debt, entry of material judgments not covered by insurance, or a change of control of the Company.
 
At September 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with applicable covenants and restrictions, as amended, although there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in compliance with such covenants in the future. The ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to transfer assets is subject to various restrictions, including regulatory, governmental and contractual restraints.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company has guaranteed certain Tier 2 suppliers’ debt and lease obligations as well as certain obligations of an unconsolidated joint venture and other third-party service providers. These guarantees have not, nor does the Company expect they are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
European Securitization
 
Effective August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a European accounts receivable securitization facility (“European Securitization”) that extends until August 2011 and provides up to $325 million in funding from the sale of certain customer trade account receivables originating from Company subsidiaries located in Germany, Portugal, Spain, France and the U.K. (“Sellers”). Under the European Securitization, receivables originated by the Sellers and certain of their subsidiaries are transferred to Visteon Financial Centre P.L.C. (the “Transferor”). The Transferor is a bankruptcy-remote qualifying special purpose entity. Receivables transferred from the Sellers are funded through cash obtained from the issuance of variable loan notes to third-party lenders and through subordinated loans obtained from a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, representing the Company’s retained and beneficial interests in the receivables transferred.
 
Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the Company receives consideration other than a beneficial interest, are accounted for as “true sales” under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (“SFAS 140”), “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and are removed from the balance sheet. The Company recorded true sales of approximately $64 million at a loss of approximately $1 million during the three-months ended September 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company has approximately $21 million of retained amounts related to these sales as of September 30, 2006. Transfers under the European Securitization, for which the Company receives a beneficial interest are not removed from the balance sheet and total $281 million as of September 30, 2006. The carrying value of the Company’s retained and beneficial interests in the receivables approximates fair value due to the current nature of the maturities and are subordinated to the interests of the third-party lenders.
 
Availability of funding under the European Securitization depends primarily upon the amount of trade accounts receivables, reduced by outstanding borrowings under the program and other characteristics of those receivables that affect their eligibility (such as bankruptcy or the grade of the obligor, delinquency and excessive concentration). As of September 30, 2006, approximately $112 million of the Company’s transferred receivables were considered eligible for borrowing under this facility, $60 million was outstanding and $24 million was available for funding.

Table of Contents

The Sellers act as servicing agents and continue to service the transferred receivables for which they receive a monthly servicing fee based on the aggregate amount of the outstanding purchased receivables. The Company is required to pay a monthly fee to the lenders based on the unused portion of the European Securitization.
 
Other
 
The Company has certain factoring agreements in place whereby trade accounts receivable are sold to third-party financial institutions without recourse. The Company sold 60 million euro ($76 million), and 99 million euro ($117 million) under such agreements in Europe as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Additionally, the Company sold 830 million Japanese yen ($7 million) of trade receivables under such agreements as of December 31, 2005.
 
The Company recognized losses of approximately $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and less than $1 million and approximately $1 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Such losses represent the discount from book values at which these receivables were sold to third parties.
 
Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities
 
Cash provided from operating activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 totaled $42 million, compared with $375 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. The decrease is largely attributable to non-recurrence of the March 2005 funding agreement with Ford and subsequent amendment (which, in total, accelerated payment terms from 33 days to 22 days in 2005), lower postretirement benefit liabilities other than pensions, and lower depreciation and amortization related to the impact of the second quarter 2005 asset impairment, partially offset by lower losses excluding restructuring and impairment charges.
 
Investing Activities
 
Cash used by investing activities was $253 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with $70 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase resulted principally from the non-recurrence of the $311 million deposit from Ford as consideration for the purchase of inventory related to the sale of certain North American facilities, partially offset by a reduction in capital expenditures. The Company’s capital expenditures, excluding capital leases, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 totaled $265 million, compared with $400 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, reflecting the impact of the ACH transactions and the Company’s continued focus on capital spending management. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, proceeds from asset disposals were $18 million.
 
Financing Activities
 
Cash provided from financing activities totaled $60 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared with a use of $136 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. Cash proceeds in 2006 primarily resulted from the borrowing on the $800 million seven-year term loan due June 13, 2013, partially offset by a net repayment of $322 million on the revolving credit facility, repayment and termination of the $241 million five-year term loan due June 25, 2007, and repurchase of $150 million of outstanding 8.25% interest bearing notes due August 1, 2010. In connection with the borrowing on the $800 million seven-year term loan, the Company repaid and terminated its $350 million 18-month term loan issued in January 2006. Cash used by financing activities in 2005 primarily reflects the retirement of $250 million of 7.95% notes due August 1, 2005, termination of the General Electric Capital Corporation trade payables program, and reductions in other consolidated subsidiary debt, partially offset by a $300 million borrowing on the Company’s short-term revolving credit facility.

New Accounting Standards
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. Under this statement, companies must recognize a net asset or liability representing the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans beginning with the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. Implementation of this standard will result in an additional non-current liability on the Company’s balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to accumulated other comprehensive loss (after consideration of tax effects). The amount of this liability is dependent on actuarial valuations and plan asset values as of the September 30, 2006 measurement date, as well as foreign currency exchange rates as of December 31, 2006. The Company estimates that the pre-tax charge to equity could range from $125 to $175 million. Additionally, the Company expects that the effect of the implementation of this standard on its financial covenants will be immaterial.
 
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 “Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements, (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 clarifies that the evaluation of financial statement misstatements must be made based on all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors; this is referred to as a “dual approach.” The adoption of SAB 108 is effective for the year ending December 31, 2006 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” this statement, which becomes effective January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109 with respect to recognition and measurement of tax positions that are taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and is effective January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 (“SFAS 156”), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.” This statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective on January 1, 2007 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payments.” This statement requires that all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated fair value. SFAS 123(R) was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. In accordance with the modified-prospective method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Under the modified-prospective method, compensation expense includes:
 
•  Share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, (“SFAS 123”) “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”
 
•  Share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).


51


Table of Contents

 
The cumulative effect, net of tax, of adoption of SFAS 123(R) was $4 million or $0.03 per share as of January 1, 2006. The Company recorded $1 million, or $0.01 per share, and $12 million, or $0.10 per share, of incremental compensation expense during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, under SFAS 123(R) when compared to the amount that would have been recorded under SFAS 123. Additional disclosures required by SFAS 123(R) regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and related accounting are provided in Note 3 “Stock-Based Compensation.”
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and effective January 1, 2003 the Company began expensing the fair value of stock-based awards granted to employees pursuant to SFAS 123. This standard was adopted on the prospective method basis for stock-based awards granted, modified or settled after December 31, 2002. For stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, the Company measured compensation cost using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” as permitted by SFAS 123. If compensation cost for all stock-based awards had been determined based on the estimated fair value of stock options and the fair value at the date of grant for restricted stock awards, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s reported net loss and net loss per share would have resulted in the pro forma amounts provided below:

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (“SFAS 151”), “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This statement clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 was adopted by the Company effective from January 1, 2006 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

•  Visteon’s ability to satisfy its future capital and liquidity requirements; Visteon’s ability to access the credit and capital markets at the times and in the amounts needed and on terms acceptable to Visteon, which is influenced by Visteon’s credit ratings (which have declined in the past and could decline further in the future); Visteon’s ability to comply with financial covenants applicable to it; and the continuation of acceptable supplier payment terms.
 
•  Visteon’s ability to satisfy its pension and other post-employment benefit obligations, and to retire outstanding debt and satisfy other contractual commitments, all at the levels and times planned by management.
 
•  Visteon’s ability to access funds generated by its foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures on a timely and cost effective basis.
 
•  Changes in the operations (including products, product planning and part sourcing), financial condition, results of operations or market share of Visteon’s customers, particularly its largest customer, Ford.
 
•  Changes in vehicle production volume of our customers in the markets where we operate, and in particular changes in Ford’s North American and European vehicle production volumes and platform mix.
 
•  Visteon’s ability to profitably win new business from customers other than Ford and to maintain current business with, and win future business from, Ford, and, Visteon’s ability to realize expected sales and profits from new business.
 
•  Increases in costs or disruptions in the supply of commodities, including steel, resins, aluminum, copper, fuel and natural gas.
 
•  Visteon’s ability to generate cost savings to offset or exceed agreed upon price reductions or price reductions to win additional business and, in general, improve its operating performance; to achieve the benefits of its restructuring actions; and to recover engineering and tooling costs.
 
•  Restrictions in labor contracts with unions that restrict Visteon’s ability to close plants, divest unprofitable, noncompetitive businesses, change local work rules and practices at a number of facilities and implement cost-saving measures.
 
•  The costs and timing of facility closures or dispositions, business or product realignments, or similar restructuring actions, including potential impairment or other charges related to the implementation of these actions or other adverse industry conditions and contingent liabilities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. To manage these risks, the Company uses a combination of fixed price contracts with suppliers, cost sourcing arrangements with customers and financial derivatives. The Company maintains risk management controls to monitor the risks and the related hedging. Derivative positions are examined using analytical techniques such as market value and sensitivity analysis. Derivative instruments are not used for speculative purposes, as per clearly defined risk management policies.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries. The Company’s on-going solution is to reduce the exposure through operating actions.
 
The Company’s primary foreign exchange operating exposures include the euro, Czech koruna, Korean won, Mexican peso and Hungarian forint. Because of the mix between the Company’s costs and revenues in various regions, operating results are exposed generally to weakening of the euro and to strengthening of the Czech koruna, Korean won, Mexican peso and Hungarian forint. For transactions in these currencies, the Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage. As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s coverage for projected transactions in these currencies was approximately 58% for 2006.
 
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the net fair value of foreign currency forward contracts was a liability of $2 million and an asset of $9 million, respectively. The hypothetical pre-tax gain or loss in fair value from a 10% favorable or adverse change in quoted currency exchange rates would be approximately $69 million and $62 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These estimated changes assume a parallel shift in all currency exchange rates and include the gain or loss on financial instruments used to hedge loans to subsidiaries. Because exchange rates typically do not all move in the same direction, the estimate may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on the net fair value of the Company’s financial derivatives. It is also important to note that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying exposures being hedged.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. These swaps effectively convert a portion of the Company’s fixed rate debt into variable rate debt. Including the effect of $350 million of interest rate swaps, approximately 36% and 45% of the Company’s borrowings were effectively on a fixed rate basis as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the net fair value of interest rate swaps was a liability of $18 million and $15 million, respectively. The potential loss in fair value of these swaps from a hypothetical 50 basis point adverse change in interest rates would be approximately $8 million and $10 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The annual increase in pre-tax interest expense from a hypothetical 50 basis point adverse change in variable interest rates (including the impact of interest rate swaps) would be approximately $7 million and $6 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. This analysis may overstate the adverse impact on net interest expense because of the short-term nature of the Company’s interest bearing investments.

Commodity Risk
 
The Company’s exposure to market risks from changes in the price of commodities including aluminum, copper, steel products, plastic resins and diesel fuel are not hedged due to a lack of acceptable hedging instruments in the market. The Company’s exposures to price changes in such commodities are attempted to be addressed through negotiations with the Company’s suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to absorb any or all price increases and/or surcharges. When and if acceptable hedging instruments are available in the market, management will determine at that time if financial hedging is appropriate, depending upon the Company’s exposure level at that time, the effectiveness of the financial hedge and other factors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company files with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and the CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the existence of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as discussed below. Notwithstanding the material weakness, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly state, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
In the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 because of the existence of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting relating to ineffective controls over the complete and accurate recording of freight, raw material and other supplier costs and related period-end accruals and payables originating in its North American purchasing function. This material weakness continued to exist as of September 30, 2006.
 
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the third and fourth quarter of 2005, the Company implemented additional controls to identify potential liabilities related to activities with its North American suppliers, and to ensure that costs are recorded in the correct period and that related period-end accruals and payables are complete and accurate. These controls included the implementation of policies and procedures to identify, assess and account for supplier activities and contracts and to estimate and record costs as incurred. Further, additional procedures have been implemented to ensure that period-end accruals and payables are complete and accurate. The Company continues to monitor and test the operating effectiveness of these controls.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 that have materially effected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as "Protective Advances"); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed $20,000,000; provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent's authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent's receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b). (b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance. SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans and Overadvances. (a) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon notice of the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, promptly after the Borrower Representative requests an ABR Borrowing, the Swingline Lender shall advance, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the Borrowers, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a "Swingline Loan"), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(d). Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other ABR Loans funded by the Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. In addition, the Borrowers hereby authorize the Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on each Business Day, make available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance reimbursement of an LC Disbursement, as provided in Section 2.06(e), by 53

remittance to the Issuing Bank), the proceeds of a Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that day (as determined based on notice from the Administrative Agent). If the conditions for borrowing under Section 4.02 cannot in fact be fulfilled, (x) the Borrower Representative shall give notice (a "Noncompliance Notice") thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with a copy of the Noncompliance Notice. Unless the Required Lenders so direct the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may, but is not obligated to, continue to make Swingline Loans commencing one (1) Business Day after the Noncompliance Notice is furnished to the Lenders. The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $25,000,000. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan to the extent the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Availability. All Swingline Loans shall be ABR Borrowings. The Borrowers may borrow, prepay, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans. (b) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as "Overadvances"); provided that, no Overadvance shall result in a Default due to Borrowers' failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. In addition, Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. All Overadvances shall constitute ABR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time, no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days and no Overadvance shall cause any Revolving Lender's Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment; provided that, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent's authorization to make Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent's receipt thereof. (c) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan or an Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan or Overadvance), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. The Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Revolving Lenders to fund their participations (as set forth in clause (d) below with respect to Swingline Loans). From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan. 54

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a "Settlement") with the Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or more frequently on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon Chicago time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date"). Each Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender's Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 11:00 am, Chicago time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or such shorter period as the Issuing Bank shall agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal 55

or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $250,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. (e) Reimbursement.

If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers' joint and several obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers' obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of 57

Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced with another Lender (or Affiliate of a Lender) at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and 58

obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the "LC Collateral Account"), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h)(i) or (h)(ii) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits (which investment shall occur following written notice from the Borrower Representative), with the type of investments to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers' risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived. (k) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Effective Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto deemed converted into Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 for the account of the Borrowers and subject to the provisions hereof, and for this purpose fees in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be payable (in substitution for any fees set forth in the applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such Existing Letters of Credit, except to the extent that such fees are also payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b)) as if such Existing Letters of Credit had been issued on the Effective Date, (ii) JPMorgan Chase shall be deemed to be the Issuing Bank with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit, (iii) such Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Exposure and (iv) all liabilities of the Borrowers with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations. No Existing Letter of Credit converted in accordance with this clause (k) shall be 59

amended, extended or renewed except in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional issuance fees with respect to the issuance of such Existing Letter of Credit solely as a result of such letter of credit being converted to a Letter of Credit hereunder, it being understood that the fronting, participation and other fees set forth in Section 2.12(b) shall otherwise apply to such Existing Letters of Credit. SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing. SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as otherwise designated in Section 2.03). Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued. 60

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article II) and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, electronic pdf or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative. (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) the Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period". If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing. (e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period 61

applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. (b) The Borrowers may at any time, without premium or penalty (but subject to the payment of break funding payments as set forth in Section 2.16), terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted) together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. (c) The Borrowers may from time to time, without premium or penalty, reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments to the extent, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base. (d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, and in the case of ABR Loans, not later than noon, Chicago time, on the date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and (where applicable) the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of an acquisition, sale or transaction, or the receipt of proceeds from and the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent 62

on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. SECTION 2.10 Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and all other Obligations on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Overadvance on the earliest of the Maturity Date, the 30th day after such Overadvance is made, or demand by the Administrative Agent. (b) At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Security Agreement, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Account the previous Business Day first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) (without reduction of the Commitments) and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure. (c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof. (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be (absent manifest error) prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after 63

assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty (but subject to the payment of break funding payments as set forth in Section 2.16), to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. (b) Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments or (B) the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. (c) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement: (i) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 6.01, other than paragraphs (m) and (o) thereof), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to prepay the Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) with the Net Cash Proceeds of Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 6.01(m) so long as (A) no Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) Availability is not less than zero, (C) full cash dominion is not in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Security Agreement, and would not result from the application of such Net Cash Proceeds as set forth in clause (D) below, and (D) such Net Cash Proceeds are applied by the Borrowers, at their option (subject to Section 6.18), to prepay the 2010 Notes (or, to the extent the 2010 Notes have been prepaid in full, the 2014 Notes); (ii) Subject to clause (iii) below, if on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale permitted under Section 6.04(m)) or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice or a Note Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Asset Sale Proceeds Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Asset Sale Proceeds Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Asset 64

Sale Proceeds Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d); (iii) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale permitted under Section 6.04(m), an amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the date of such Asset Sale toward the prepayment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d); and (iv) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance by the Company of any Capital Stock, or the receipt by the Company of any capital contribution (other than any such issuance of Capital Stock or capital contribution (A) pursuant to a stock incentive plan, stock option plan or other equity based compensation plan or arrangement for employees, officers and/or directors, (B) pursuant to or in connection with a Permitted Acquisition and (C) to or from, as the case may be, any Subsidiary), an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the date of such issuance or receipt toward the prepayment of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided, however, no mandatory prepayment shall be required under the Section 2.11(c) unless (i) full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Security Agreement, or would result from the making of such mandatory prepayment or any mandatory prepayment otherwise payable in respect of such event or occurrence pursuant to the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Term Loan Agreement or (ii) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. (d) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure. (e) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by electronic pdf or facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such 65

notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. SECTION 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee"), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders' Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing the Commitment Fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Exposure and participation in Protective Advances of such Lender. (b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's reasonable standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 66

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent under the Fee Letter. (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. SECTION 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that the interest rate on Protective Advances and Overadvances as set forth in clause (d) below shall not be subject to increase pursuant to this clause (c). (d) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans plus 2%. (e) Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 67

days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) (as conclusively certified by such Lender(s)) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if any Borrowing Request is outstanding at the time the Administrative Agent gives such initial notice, the Borrower Representative may upon receipt thereof revoke such outstanding Borrowing Request by prompt notice to the Administrative Agent. SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 68

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall promptly upon written demand (together with reasonably detailed supporting information) pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan 69

other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. SECTION 2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Indemnified Taxes, (y) to the extent such amounts are attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section or (z) to the extent such amounts are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, promptly after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the 70

Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (e) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a "U.S. Person" as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Non U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest", a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit J and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non U.S. Lender shall deliver the appropriate forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non U.S. Lender. Each Non U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower Representative (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. (f) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S.-withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by a Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to 71

complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender's judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. (g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) no later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Security Agreement, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks (in addition to immediately available funds applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b)) from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the Business Day after receipt, subject to actual collection. (b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under 72

the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11), (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when full cash dominion is in effect (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (D) amounts that the Borrowers are entitled to receive in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers, and tenth, upon the cash collateralization of any other Secured Obligations to the extent required by the Loan Documents, any excess in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement or to the Borrowers, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. (c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 73

2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents. (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. (f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of 74

such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then: (a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment); (b) the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, require such Lender or any Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder (herein, a "Departing Lender"), upon notice to the Departing Lender and the Administrative Agent, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing Lender (other than a Lender which is a Departing Lender due to a default in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. SECTION 2.20 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued to the extent of the payment or proceeds so surrendered, and this Agreement shall 75

continue in full force with respect thereto as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that: SECTION 3.01 Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2006 (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Loans to be made on the Effective Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses due and payable in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Company as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2006, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report with respect to such financial statements from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as at March 31, 2006, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). No Group Member has any material Guarantee, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from March 31, 2006 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any Group Member of any material part of its business or property. 76

SECTION 3.02 No Change. Since December 31, 2005, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.03 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except, in the case of a Group Member which is not a Borrower, to the extent the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged except to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent that all failures to be duly qualified and in good standing could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.04 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Borrower has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Borrower has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 3.04, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 3.19 and consents, authorizations, filings and notices obtained or made in the ordinary course of business. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Borrower party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower party thereto, enforceable against each such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). SECTION 3.05 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member, except to the extent that all such violations could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or as could not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the interests of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the 77

Security Documents). No Requirement of Law applicable to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.06 Litigation. Except as described in Schedule 3.06, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.07 No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. SECTION 3.08 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.02. SECTION 3.09 Intellectual Property. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and material to the business of the Group Members, taken as a whole. Except as described on Schedule 3.09, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property by any Group Member or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property owned or used by any Group Member that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.10 Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed (after giving effect to any extension periods) and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member) except to the extent that the failure to file such tax returns or pay such taxes, fees or other charges could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; no material tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of each Borrower, no claim is being asserted in writing, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. SECTION 3.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used (a) for "buying" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board or (b) for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of 78

the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U 1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. SECTION 3.12 Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member. SECTION 3.13 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. Each Foreign Plan has been administered in accordance with its terms and applicable law in all material respect. No Plan or Foreign Plan has any unfunded liabilities that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.

of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby; provided that no Event of Default shall occur under this clause (m) as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to have a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral to the extent that (i) such failure arises from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent after a request from the Borrower to execute any document or take any other action with respect to the Collateral or (ii) such failure results from the Administrative Agent's loss of possessory collateral; then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (h)(i) or (h)(ii) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers (other than notice to the Borrower Representative to the extent expressly specified in this paragraph); and in case of any event with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (h)(i) or (h)(ii) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC. ARTICLE VIII THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any 120

Subsidiary of a Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action lawfully taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The 121

Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of the Borrower Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7(a) or (h) shall have occurred and be continuing, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, with the approval of the Borrower Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7(a) or (h) shall have occurred and be continuing,, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such 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 Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not 122

comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the Borrowers' books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrowers' personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Borrower or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. The syndication agent and the documentation agents shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Borrowers) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Loan Document, all such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" 124

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. (b) Except as set forth in Section 2.01(b) with regard to technical or similar amendments in connection with a Commitment Increase, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or Borrowers that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided, however, that to the extent the Administrative Agent establishes a reserve or creates additional eligibility requirements not in place on the Effective Date, the termination of such reserves or eligibility criteria shall not be deemed to be an increase of the amount of any Lender's Commitment), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder (provided, however, that waiver of any default or event of default shall not be deemed to be a reduction in the rate of interest or any fee), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such 125

payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the order or manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required Lenders" or "Supermajority Lenders" or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release any Borrower or Loan Guarantor from its obligation hereunder or under the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section or in any Security Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. The foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit this Agreement from being amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extension of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder by such lenders as may agree to provide such extensions of credit, and to permit the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on a pro rata basis. (c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion (without further notice to or consent of any Lender, except as provided in this Section 9.02(c)), to release (or subordinate on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers on any Collateral or, pursuant to clause (ii) below with regard to the permitted sale or disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Borrower, release any guarantees executed by such Borrower, (i) upon the termination of all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted, and other than Banking Services Obligations or Swap Obligations for which cash collateral or other arrangements satisfactory to the Lender (or Affiliate of a Lender) providing such Banking Services Obligations or Swap Obligations have been enacted), and the cash collateralization of all LC Exposure in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of or, pursuant to Sections 6.01(o) and 6.02(o), separately financed, if the Borrower disposing of (or refinancing) such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale, disposition or financing is made in compliance with the terms 126

of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower has at any time during the term of this Agreement owned any interest, (iv) constituting property leased to a Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (v) owned by or leased to any Borrower which is subject to a purchase money security interest or which is a Capital Lease Obligation, in either case, entered into by such Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, or (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 9.02(b)(viii), each Lender). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release any guarantees and Liens with regard to particular guarantors or upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.02. (d) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any documentation required pursuant to Section 9.02(c) (including any Lender confirmation requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant thereto), and upon at least five Business Days prior written request by the Borrower Representative (or such shorter time as is agreed to by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to, without further notice to or consent of any Lender) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release (or subordination) of its Liens upon such Collateral or guaranty to the extent such release (or subordination) is authorized by Section 9.02(c); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent's opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens or guaranty without recourse or warranty, and (ii) any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. (e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of "each Lender" or "each Lender affected thereby," the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), then the Borrowers may elect to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, 127

including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. (f) Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable, documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable documented fees and other reasonable charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (and such other local and foreign counsel as shall be reasonably required), in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing but in each and every case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, reasonable documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with: (i) appraisals and insurance reviews; (ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination, together with the reasonable documented fees and expenses 128

associated with collateral monitoring services performed by the Specialized Due Diligence Group of the Administrative Agent (and the Borrowers agree to modify or adjust the computation of the Borrowing Base -- which may include maintaining additional Reserves or modifying the eligibility criteria for the components of the Borrowing Base -- to the extent required by the Administrative Agent as a result of any such evaluation, appraisal or monitoring); provided, however, that no more than two field examinations per year will be at the Borrower's cost unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which event there shall be no limitation on the number or frequency of field examinations at the Borrowers' cost; (iii) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and title insurance and (B) recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent's Liens; (iv) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Borrower under the Loan Documents that such Borrower fails to pay or take; and (v) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c). (b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of 129

Environmental Concern on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this Section 2.04(b), "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have (a) resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (b) resulted from the breach of such Indemnitee of its obligations under any Loan Document, or (c) arisen from a dispute solely between the Lenders and not involving the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) or the Borrower; provided, further, that such reimbursement obligations shall be limited to one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel for the Lenders (and, to the extent necessary as determined by the Administrative Agent, one or more local counsel) unless there is a conflict of interest with respect to a particular Indemnitee, in which case such Indemnitee shall be reimbursed for its own counsel. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and each Borrower hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. If any suit, action, proceeding, claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnitee (other than the Administrative Agent) with respect to the matters covered by the Borrowers' indemnification in this Agreement, (i) such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative thereof and (ii) to the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest or other duties binding on it, such Indemnitee shall work cooperatively with the Borrower Representative with a view toward minimizing the legal and other expenses associated with any defense and any potential settlement or judgment, which cooperation shall include (A) the use of a single counsel selected by such Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower Representative (so long as such Indemnitee, in its reasonable judgment, does not believe that the use of a single counsel is not reasonably practicable or, based on the advice of counsel, disadvantageous from a legal perspective and (B) regular consultation with the Borrower Representative (and, to the extent a single counsel is not used, its counsel) upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative with regard to the management of any litigation and the negotiation of any potential settlement, in order to afford the Borrower Representative (and, to the extent a single counsel is not used, its counsel) reasonable opportunities to participate in the consideration of material decisions with respect thereto. (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or 130

asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement, nor any Indemnitee, shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor, accompanied by an invoice or, if not available, other reasonable documentation supporting such request. SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: (A) the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; (B) the Administrative Agent; and (C) the Issuing Bank. 131

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more "credit contacts" to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the Borrowers and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee's compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund" has the following meaning: "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in 132

each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the 133

information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender. (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no 134

such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless cash collateralized in an amount equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount thereof or subject to other repayment arrangements, in each case in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Bank) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic pdf shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender and each of its Affiliates that is a Secured Party shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and 135

payable by any Borrower hereunder or pursuant to any Secured Obligation (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or Affiliate or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers, as the case may be (other than amounts held in payroll, trust and tax accounts). Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliate; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks. (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER 136

LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be responsible for the compliance with the provisions hereof by any of the foregoing), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process (it being understood that, to the extent permitted, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice to the Borrower Representative of such disclosure), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) if requested or required to do so in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (it being understood that, to the extent permitted, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice to the Borrower Representative of such disclosure), (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative, (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (i) if reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law.

Each Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys' and paralegals' fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon this Loan Guarantee 139

notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. SECTION 10.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an "Obligated Party"), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. SECTION 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. (b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense (other than the defense of payment) or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). 140

SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the payment in full in cash (or performance, as applicable) of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security. SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any Collateral or other collateral granted to it by any Obligated Party, until the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders. SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor's obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender. SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers' financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 141

SECTION 10.08 Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations. SECTION 10.09 Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that the Loan Guarantors shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (i) to the extent such amounts are attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) of Section 2.17 or (ii) to the extent such amounts are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to Indemnified Taxes. SECTION 10.10 Maximum Liability. Anything herein or in any Security Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Loan Guarantor hereunder and under the Security Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Loan Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 10.11). The determination of such maximum liability hereunder and under the Security Documents, on the one hand, and the maximum liability of such Loan Guarantor in respect of its guarantee of the obligations under the Term Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility Documents, on the other hand, shall be ratable to the extent necessary to give effect to the sharing provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be voidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor's liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor's "Maximum Liability". This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any 142

other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor's obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. SECTION 10.11 Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a "Paying Guarantor") shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its Guaranteed Obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a "Non-Paying Guarantor") shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor's "Applicable Percentage" of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor's "Applicable Percentage" with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor's several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor's Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 10.12 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Borrower as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Borrowers, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 143

ARTICLE XI THE BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE SECTION 11.01 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Company is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the "Borrower Representative") hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower, provided that, in the case of a Revolving Loan, such amount shall not exceed such Borrower's Availability. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.01. SECTION 11.02 Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative. SECTION 11.03 Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers. SECTION 11.04 Notices. Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative. SECTION 11.05 Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lenders. SECTION 11.06 Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Loan 144

Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers. 145

6. Termination
Termination Event — no further purchase of Receivables
6.1 If any Termination Event shall occur and has not been waived by the Master Purchaser and the Security Trustee, then, and in any such event, the Master Purchaser (or the Collateral Monitoring Agent or the Security Trustee on its behalf) may in its absolute discretion declare a termination of the Master Purchaser’s obligations to purchase further Receivables hereunder. Upon such declaration being made by the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee or the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the agreement between the Master Purchaser and the Sellers to purchase and sell Receivables set out in Clause 2 shall be terminated with immediate effect and there shall be no further purchase of Receivables by the Master Purchaser from the Sellers. The Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee or the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall give written notice of the declaration to the Parent and the Master Servicer as soon as possible following such declaration.
Termination Event — Set off
6.2 Following the occurrence of a Termination Event due to an event of the kind described in paragraph (n) of Schedule 1 to the Framework Deed (Termination Events — Insolvency) affecting a Seller, each of the Master Purchaser, the MP Cash Manager, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Security Trustee shall to the extent permitted by law be entitled without notice (but shall not be obliged) to set off any obligation which is due

Page 20


 

and payable by that Seller and unpaid against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed under any Transaction Document by the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee, the MP Cash Manager or the Collateral Monitoring Agent (as the case may be) to that Seller regardless of the place of payment or currency of either obligation.
Termination by the Parent
6.3 The Parent on behalf of the Sellers may terminate the agreement of the Sellers to sell Receivables to the Master Purchaser as provided in Clause 2.1 at any time by giving 5 Business Days’ notice in writing to the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Funding Agent.
Continuing Effect
6.4 Any termination pursuant to this Clause 6 or any other permitted termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of the parties in relation to any Purchased Receivables purchased prior to such termination and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to bind the parties to the extent and for so far and so long as may be necessary to give effect to such rights and obligations. The covenants, obligations and undertakings contained in this Agreement and the rights and remedies in this Agreement in respect of any representation, warranty or statement made under or in connection with this Agreement and the indemnification and other payment obligations in this Agreement shall continue and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.
7. Remedies for Breach of Warranty
Non-Conforming Receivables
7.1 If any representation or warranty set out in Part A of Schedule 2 insofar as it relates to the assignability, collectability, validity or enforceability of a Purchased Receivable or if any representation or warranty set out in Part B of Schedule 2 in respect of a Purchased Receivable proves to have been incorrect on the Funding Date (for Receivables purchased on the Funding Date) or for other Purchased Receivables on the date on which it is made or deemed to be made and remains incorrect, or if the relevant Purchased Receivable has never existed (each affected Purchased Receivable being a Non-Conforming Receivable), the Seller that originated any such Non-Conforming Receivable shall be deemed to have received a collection of the full amount of each such Non-Conforming Receivable in the same Agreed Currency (a Deemed Collection) and shall pay the amount of each such Deemed Collection in that Agreed Currency to the relevant Deposit Account on the next Settlement Date in respect of each such Non-Conforming Receivable. To the extent that a Seller has made a payment to the Master Purchaser in respect of a Non-Conforming Receivable in accordance with this Clause 7.1 and an actual Collection is subsequently received by the Master Purchaser in respect of such Non-Conforming Receivable, the Master Purchaser will pay to that Seller on the immediately succeeding Settlement Date by crediting the relevant Deposit Account of such Seller in the same Agreed Currency, in accordance with the applicable Master Purchaser Priority of Payments and by way of refund of the payment made by that Seller pursuant to this Clause 7.1, an amount equal to the Collection so received in respect of such Non-Conforming Receivable in the same Agreed Currency.

Page 21


 

Dilutions
7.2 If at any time:
(a)   there arises any set-off, counterclaim, dispute, defence or deduction in respect of a Purchased Receivable by the relevant Obligor; or
 
(b)   any Dilution occurs in relation to a transaction under which a Purchased Receivable arises or any other transaction between the relevant Seller and the relevant Obligor;
then the relevant Seller shall be deemed to have received a collection of each such Diluted Receivable in the amount of the relevant dilution in the same Agreed Currency on the day such dilution occurs (a Deemed Collection) and the relevant Seller shall pay the amount of each such Deemed Collection in that Agreed Currency to the relevant Deposit Account on the next Settlement Date.
Means of remedying breach
7.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the payment by a Seller in full of the amount due in respect of any Receivable under Clause 7.1 or 7.2 on the Settlement Date on which it is due (which the Master Purchaser and that Seller agree may be effected by way of set-off against any Purchase Price payable to that Seller on such Settlement Date) will remedy any breach or default by that Seller in respect of that Receivable and neither the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee nor the Funding Agent shall have any other right or remedy in respect of such breach or default.
Recoupment of Value Added Tax
7.4 For the purpose of ensuring recoupment of any VAT forming part of a Purchased Receivable:
(a)   all or part of which remains unpaid after the statutory period for purposes of claiming bad debt relief has elapsed; or
 
(b)   which or the Outstanding Balance of which is, or would be, reduced, adjusted or cancelled by the Seller that originated such Purchased Receivable;
that Seller will use its reasonable endeavours to recover such value added tax to the extent that such Seller is legally entitled to claim a repayment of such value added tax (or the appropriate part thereof) from the appropriate tax authorities, and shall, upon receipt of any amount in respect of such value added tax, to the extent that the Master Purchaser has not already been fully compensated for the non-receipt of such part of the Purchased Receivable as is equal to the valued added tax charged thereon, promptly remit the net amount not so compensated to the Master Purchaser and any such net amount will be paid into the relevant Deposit Account of such Seller in the relevant Agreed Currency and treated as a Collection in that Agreed Currency. The Seller that originated such Purchased Receivable will make such accounting write-offs and transfers and raise such credit notes as may be necessary or desirable for this purpose, and take all such other steps as may be reasonably requested by the Master Purchaser provided that the Seller shall not be required to take any steps which it reasonably considers will unduly prejudice its tax affairs. At the request of that Seller and whether or not any amounts are payable to

Page 22


 

the Master Purchaser under this Clause 7.4, the Master Purchaser may, or at such time as the Master Purchaser is fully compensated, will, reassign or re-transfer a Purchased Receivable which is a Defaulted Receivable to the relevant Seller, who will accept such re-assignment or re-transfer of any such Purchased Receivable (for a nil or nominal consideration), solely for the purpose of facilitating recoupment of such value added tax.

(g)   take all other action as necessary or desirable for the Master Servicer to perform its own duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents and for the servicing of all other Receivables; and
 
(h)   perform those other functions as more particularly described in this Agreement,
in all such cases as provided for under this Agreement.

Page 24


 

8.4 In connection with the sale and purchase of German Receivables under Clause 2, it is agreed and acknowledged that such German Receivables are sold on a fully serviced basis (i.e. servicing is retained by the German Seller in its capacity as a Sub-Servicer) and accordingly the German Seller (in its capacity as Sub-Servicer) undertakes in favour of the Master Purchaser that it shall:
(a)   collect all sums due in relation to the German Receivables including Delinquent Receivables and Defaulted Receivables and provide administration services in relation to the collection of the German Receivables;
 
(b)   report to the Master Purchaser and the Collateral Monitoring Agent on the performance of the German Receivables;

(g)   perform those other functions as more particularly described to be performed by it in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents,
in all such cases as provided for under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Acceptance of Appointment
8.5 Each Servicer confirms that it has received a copy of all of the Transaction Documents and accepts its appointment pursuant to Clause 8.1 on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.
Authority
8.6 Subject to Clause 8.7, during the continuance of its appointment, each Servicer and the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement have the full power, authority and right to do or cause to be done any and all things which it reasonably considers necessary, desirable, convenient or incidental to the performance of its duties hereunder.
Operating and Financial Policies
8.7 Neither the Master Purchaser nor its directors and officers shall be required or obliged at any time to comply with any direction which any Servicer or Collateral Monitoring Agent may give with respect to the operating and financial policies of the Master Purchaser and each Servicer and Collateral Monitoring Agent hereby acknowledges that all powers to determine such policies (including the determination of whether or not any particular policy is for the benefit of the Master Purchaser) are, and

Page 25


 

shall at all times remain, vested in the Master Purchaser and its directors and officers and none of the provisions of this Agreement or the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with this Clause 8.7.
9. Representations, Warranties and Undertakings
In entering into this Agreement, each Servicer and each Seller and the Parent hereby represents and warrants severally to the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee and the Collateral Monitoring Agent on the Funding Date as to the terms set out in Part A of Schedule 2 (excluding, with respect to the Parent only, paragraphs (e), (g), (i), (j), (t), (v) and (w)) with reference to the facts and circumstances then subsisting (and, with respect to the Parent only in relation to paragraph (l), (m), (n) and (o), to the best of its knowledge).
10. Collection of Receivables
Sending of Invoices and payments into Deposit Accounts
10.1 The Master Servicer shall procure that each Sub-Servicer shall send Invoices to the Obligors in its own name, in accordance with the Seller Credit and Collection Procedures, shall collect all Collections in an efficient and timely fashion and shall ensure that the payment terms of each Purchased Receivable require payment to be made into the appropriate Deposit Account (denominated in the same Agreed Currency as the Receivable) of the Seller that originated the Receivable. In connection with such Collections, each Servicer shall present all documents necessary in support of such amounts due from the relevant Obligors.
Use of Deposit Accounts
10.2 Each Servicer shall at all times following the date falling 60 days after the Closing Date procure that only monies which derive from Purchased Receivables sold by that Servicer (in its capacity as Seller) will be paid into such Deposit Account held in the name of that Seller and that no Deposit Account will be used for any purpose other than the payment of Collections of the same Agreed Currency to the Master Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents save that, prior to the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, the Seller in whose name a Deposit Account is held may apply any monies retained in that Deposit Account in accordance with Clause 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 and Clause 10.3 (Payment of Collections) for payment of the Purchase Price or Advance Purchase Price in respect of newly originated Receivables. If at any time during the period from the Closing Date to the date falling 60 days after the Closing Date amounts not representing monies derived from Purchased Receivables are paid to the credit of a Deposit Account, the relevant Servicer shall upon such monies being identified as not being derived from Purchased Receivables (and in any event within 2 Business Days of such monies being paid into such Deposit Account) procure that such amounts are transferred out of the Deposit Account. To the extent that any monies are credited to a Deposit Account which are not Collections, the relevant Servicer will, if it is otherwise unable to distinguish the same, attribute such monies first to Collections, and second to any other amount.

Page 26


 

Payment of Collections
10.3 On each Business Day prior to the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, Collections received in a Deposit Account will be applied in payment of the Purchase Price or Advance Purchase Price in respect of newly originated Receivables (provided they are in the same Agreed Currency and originated by that Servicer) pursuant to Clause 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
10.4 Upon the occurrence of a Cash Control Event which is continuing, the Servicers shall no longer be entitled to apply any Collections in payment of the Purchase Price or Advance Purchase Price in respect of newly originated Receivables, will not be entitled to withdraw funds credited to the Deposit Accounts, and will procure that all funds credited to the Deposit Accounts are transferred to the Master Purchaser Transaction Account in the same Agreed Currency prior to 5.00 p.m. London time each day on which banks are generally open for business in the location of the relevant Deposit Account Bank.
10.5 If any Servicer transfers any amount to a Master Purchaser Transaction Account in accordance with Clause 10.4 and such amount is later proven by that Servicer to the Master Purchaser’s satisfaction to be an amount which is not a Collection, the Master Purchaser agrees that, upon request by that Servicer and at the expense of that Servicer, it will transfer such amount to such bank account as the Servicer may direct.
Notification to Deposit Account Bank
10.6 Each of the Sellers and Servicers acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Cash Control Event which is continuing, the Master Purchaser (and its authorised representatives notified to the Seller(s) in whose name the Deposit Account(s) are held) and the Security Trustee shall have the right to notify any of the Deposit Account Banks of the occurrence of the Cash Control Event and thenceforth exercise their control rights in respect of the Deposit Account in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the relevant Account Control Agreement, and that for this purpose, subject always to the terms of the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge, the Master Purchaser has appointed the Collateral Monitoring Agent to act as its agent for the purpose of notifying any Deposit Account Bank of the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, and after doing so for the purpose of instructing the relevant Deposit Account Bank how to operate the relevant Deposit Account.
11. Records and Accounts
Determination of Collections
11.1 On each Business Day, the Master Servicer will calculate the aggregate amount of Collections denominated in each Agreed Currency received into the Deposit Accounts on the immediately preceding Business Day. After the occurrence of a Cash Control Event which has not been waived by the Master Purchaser, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Security Trustee, the Master Servicer will, if so requested by the Funding Agent, notify such aggregate amount to the Master Purchaser, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Funding Agent on the Business Day immediately succeeding the Business Day on which such Collections were received.

Page 27


 

Allocation of Collections
11.2 For the purpose of Clause 11.1 where, for any reason, the Master Purchaser has received in cash less than 100 per cent. of the Outstanding Balance of a Purchased Receivable, all amounts collected in respect of that Purchased Receivable shall be applied:
(a)   first to the Discount element;
 
(b)   secondly to the Purchase Price element.
Operation of Accounts
11.3 If pursuant to Clause 18(o)(i) Visteon Portuguesa Ltd. transfers the Deposit Accounts in its name to the name of the Master Purchaser, the Master Purchaser will grant a power of attorney to Visteon Portuguesa Ltd., in its capacity as Servicer, to operate such Deposit Accounts prior to the occurrence of a Cash Control Event and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement on terms acceptable to the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee and the Collateral Monitoring Agent.
12. Calculations
On or before each Reporting Date, the Master Servicer shall calculate the following in respect of the immediately preceding Determination Period:

Payment to the Seller’s Accounts

SCHEDULE 3
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES
In order for a Receivable to meet the Eligibility Criteria, the Receivable or, as the case may be, the relevant Contract from which it is derived must satisfy the following criteria on the date on which the Purchase Price in respect of that Receivable becomes due and payable:
(a)   Ordinary Course of Business: the Receivable has been originated by the relevant Seller in the ordinary course of its business in accordance with that Seller’s Credit and Collection Procedures from the sale of goods to an Eligible Obligor and is evidenced by an Invoice.
(b)   Trade Receivable: the Receivable is a non-interest bearing trade receivable (subject only to late-payment charges), not represented by a bill of exchange or promissory note or similar document, due delivery of which is required to achieve a true sale of such Receivable, and is unsecured other than by way of retention of title.
(c)   Original Creditor: the Seller of the Receivable is the original creditor of the Receivable and did not purchase it or acquire it otherwise from a third party.
(d)   Existence: the Receivable arises out of a valid and binding Contract in accordance with its respective terms against the corresponding Obligor. The Receivable does not originate under contracts subject to public procurement laws.
(e)   Non-Violation: the Contract under which any obligation to make payment in respect of a Receivable arises complies with the laws and regulations applicable in the jurisdiction of the governing law of such Contract.
(f)   Assignability: the applicable Seller is the sole owner of the Receivable free and clear of any Encumbrance and (i) the Receivable can be freely and validly transferred by way of assignment to the Master Purchaser without any requirement to give notice to or obtain consent from the Obligor (or, where there is such a requirement, it is either satisfied by the Seller, or it is not effective under applicable law to prevent the valid transfer of the Receivable to the Master Purchaser) and (ii) the Receivable can be freely and validly transferred by way of assignment to the Master Purchaser or the benefit of such Receivable can be freely and validly held on trust for the Master Purchaser without breaching the Contract under which the Receivable arises where such breach would prejudice the claim against the Obligor for the amount of such Receivable other than by way of a claim for set-off arising from such breach.
(g)   Governing Law: the Receivable and the Contract under which any obligation to make payment in respect of that Receivable arises is expressed to be

Page 62


 

    governed by the laws of England, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, or the Netherlands.
(h)   Legal Validity; Full Performance: the Receivable constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the corresponding Obligor, including, without limitation, that of paying the amount due in respect of the Receivable, and such obligations are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms subject only to any laws and regulations of mandatory application to creditors generally in the event that such corresponding Obligor becomes insolvent. The Receivable represents a bona fide obligation of the Obligor to pay the stated amount with no activity required to be performed by the applicable Seller other than to collect such Receivable, and the Obligor has no right to return the related goods for any reason other than the goods do not conform to the underlying Contract.
(i)   No Default: to the best knowledge of the applicable Seller it is not in default under the terms of the Contract from which the Receivable arises.
(j)   Maximum Term: the Receivable is, or will when invoiced be, payable within a maximum period of 180 days from the invoice date of such Receivable; provided that the aggregate outstanding balance of Receivables that are required to be paid in full between 125 and 180 days from the invoice date may not at any time exceed 10% of the Receivables Pool.
(k)   Currency: the Receivable is denominated and payable in EUR or GBP or USD.
(l)   Defaulted Receivables: the Receivable is not a Defaulted Receivable.
(m)   Payment Plan: the Receivable is not subject to any agreement between the applicable Seller and the corresponding Obligor which would enable the Obligor to pay it in instalments; and the Receivable is not subject to payment in kind and/or by the delivery of goods to the applicable Seller or the performance of services in favour of the applicable Seller.
(n)   Contract: The Contract relating to the Receivable does not contain any confidentiality provisions which may prejudice the sale or enforcement or collectability of the Receivable and/or the Related Security or the creation or enforceability of a first priority security interest thereover.
(o)   Concentration limit: the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Purchased Receivables owed by the same Obligor and which remain outstanding, may not exceed such percentage of the Net Pool Receivables Balance for such Obligor designated in Schedule 5 to the Framework Deed (a Concentration Limit); provided that, affiliated Obligors shall be treated as if they were one Obligor.
(p)   Receivables of the Portuguese Seller:

Page 63


 

  (i)   In respect of a Purchased Receivable sold to the Master Purchaser, the EUR Equivalent of the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable when aggregated with the EUR Equivalent of the Outstanding Balance of all other Purchased Receivables sold by the Portuguese Seller to the Master Purchaser and which are categorised as Eligible Receivables does not exceed the maximum amount of the obligations secured by any Portuguese Account Control Agreement as set out therein; and
 
  (ii)   in respect of a Purchased Receivable sold to FCC Visteon, the EUR Equivalent of the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable when aggregated with the EUR Equivalent of the Outstanding Balance of all other Purchased Receivables sold by the Portuguese Seller to FCC Visteon and which are categorised as Eligible Receivables does not exceed the maximum amount of the obligations secured by any Portuguese FCC Account Control Agreement as set out therein,
provided that in the case of both (i) and (ii) above only that part of the Outstanding Balance of the relevant Receivable which when aggregated with the EUR Equivalent of the Outstanding Balance of all other relevant Purchased Receivables shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as not satisfying the Eligibility Criteria.
(q)   Receivable of the Spanish Sellers: in respect only of Receivables sold by the Spanish Sellers and which are governed by Spanish law, the Receivable is the subject of a Spanish Transfer Deed entered into in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 11.

SCHEDULE 4
Part A
Form of Spanish Seller Solvency Certificate
I, the undersigned, being a duly appointed authorised signatory of [the Spanish Seller] (the Spanish Seller), hereby certify on behalf of the Spanish Seller, but without incurring any personal liability for ourselves, that based on all appropriate reviews of the books and records of the Spanish Seller and the Spanish Seller’s accounts (both management and those required by law) which we have made or caused to be made:
(a)   as at the date hereof, the Spanish Seller is not within any of the circumstances described in article 2 of the Insolvency Law (Ley 22/2003 of July 9, Concursal), and is not insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they fall due and nothing leads us to believe that it would become unable to do so (en situación de concurso o insolvente ) by the mere fact of entering into the Transaction Documents to which the Spanish Seller is a party or performing any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party;
(b)   as at the date hereof, no enforceable judgment in favour of a creditor of the Spanish Seller remains unsatisfied in whole or in part, which, if satisfied in whole, would result in the Spanish Seller becoming unable to pay its debts as they fall due (en situación de concurso o insolvente) taking into account all sources of funding which will be available on the relevant due date;
(c)   as at the date hereof, no corporate action has been taken or is pending, and no other steps have been taken by the Spanish Seller and no legal proceedings have been commenced or are pending or, to our knowledge, are threatened for (save when the Spanish Seller is in good faith contesting such steps or proceedings) (i) its bankruptcy, suspension of payments, concurso, liquidation, dissolution, administration or reorganisation (other than a solvent reorganisation), or (ii) it to enter into any composition or arrangement with its creditors due to financial difficulties or (iii) the appointment of a receiver, administrador concursal, administrative receiver trustee, administration or similar officer in respect of it or any of all or substantially all of its property, undertaking or assets. No event equivalent to any of the foregoing has occurred in or under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction;
(d)   we are not aware, as at the date hereof, of any facts or circumstances which would lead us to believe that (i) the situations mentioned in paragraphs (a), (b) or (b) above would occur, (ii) the Spanish Seller’s operation would not continue for a period of at least three (3) months from the date of this Certificate or (iii) an alert proceeding would be initiated;
(e)   the Spanish Seller is entering into the transactions as described in the Transaction Documents (including all obligations to be assumed by the Spanish Seller in connection therewith) in good faith and for the purpose of carrying on the Spanish Seller’s business and, in our opinion, such transactions will benefit the Spanish Seller;

Page 65


 

(f)   none of the Transaction Documents to which the Spanish Seller is a party is, or will be, a transaction at an undervalue since the value of the consideration to be received by the Spanish Seller will not be significantly less than the value of the consideration provided by the Spanish Seller under any such document and the Purchase Price which will be received by the Spanish Seller from the Master Purchaser for the sale of Receivables is fair and reasonable;
(g)   the execution of the Transaction Documents to which the Spanish Seller is a party or the performance of the transactions referred to therein by the Spanish Seller, and in particular the sale of Receivables, will not cause an economic damage (perjuicio patrimonial) to the Spanish Seller; and
(h)   the Spanish Seller, by entering and performing the Transaction Documents to which the Spanish Seller is a party, has no desire to give a preference to any person nor is it the purpose of the Spanish Seller to put assets beyond the reach of any person who is making or may at some time make, a claim against the Spanish Seller or of otherwise prejudicing the interests of such a person in relation to the claim which such person is making or may make.
This certificate is given and delivered to you in my capacity as a duly appointed authorised signatory of the Spanish Seller and without personal liability.

Dear Sirs,
Re: Solvency Certificate
The definitions contained in the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement dated 14 August 2006 (the Agreement) shall apply to this certificate.
We, the undersigned, being directors of Visteon UK Limited (the Company), having, inter alia:
(a)   duly considered the provisions of Sections 123 and 238 to 245 and Section 423 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the Act);

(c)   considered the provisions of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party; and
(d)   made all due enquiries and considered all matters which we considered relevant to the Company’s business and financial position,
have determined and hereby certify on behalf of the Company, that to the best of our knowledge, information and belief having made all appropriate investigations and enquiries (without personal liability) as at the date hereof:
  (i)   the Company is not unable to pay its debts within the meaning of Section 123 of the Act (but, for this purpose, without reference to the words “it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that” in section 123(1)(e) and s123(2)) and to the best of our knowledge and belief would not become unable to do so in consequence of entering into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents;
  (ii)   no corporate action has been taken or is pending, no other procedures or steps have been taken in relation to, and no legal proceedings have been commenced or are threatened or are pending with a view to:
  (A)   the suspension of payments, a moratorium of any indebtedness, winding up, liquidation, dissolution, administration (whether

Page 69


 

      out of court or by a court) or reorganisation (by way of voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement or otherwise) of the Company;
  (B)   the entry into any composition, assignment or arrangement with any creditor of the Company;
  (C)   the appointment of a liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy, judicial custodian, compulsory manager, receiver, administrative receiver, administrator, nominee or similar officer (in each case, whether out of court or by a court) in respect of the Company or any of its property, undertaking or assets;
  (D)   a meeting of the Company, its directors or its members being convened for the purpose of considering any resolution for, or to petition for, or to apply for, or to file documents with a court for, its winding-up, administration (whether out of court or any registrar or otherwise) or dissolution or any such resolution is passed;
  (E)   any person presenting a petition or an application for the Company’s winding-up, administration (whether out of court or by a court) or dissolution;
  (F)   the Company’s directors or other officers requesting the appointment of or giving notice of their intention to appoint or take any step with a view to appointing a liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy, judicial custodian, compulsory manager, receiver, administrative receiver, administrator (whether out of court or by a court) or similar officer; or
  (G)   any analogous or equivalent procedure or step being taken in any jurisdiction.
  (iii)   none of the transactions or arrangements contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will, in our opinion, be a transaction at an undervalue within the meaning of Section 238 of the Act since the value in money or money’s worth of the consideration to be provided by the Company pursuant to its entry into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will not be significantly less than the value in money or money’s worth of the consideration to be received by the Company;
  (iv)   the transactions as envisaged by the Transaction Documents and the execution of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is expressed to be a party (including all obligations to be assumed by the Company in connection therewith), are being carried out by the Company in good faith and for the purposes of carrying on its business, and in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the sale of such receivables

  (vii)   no execution, distress or diligence is being levied against the whole or any part of the Company’s property, undertaking or assets nor are any analogous proceedings being commenced against the Company under the laws of any jurisdiction.

Background:
(A) Pursuant to clause 2 of the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement dated 14 August 2006 (the MRPSA) the Purchaser has agreed to sell to the Master Purchaser, among others, certain Receivables which are governed by German law.
(B) In relation to such Receivables governed by German law the Seller has undertaken pursuant to clause 2.2 of the MRPSA to execute a transfer agreement on the same date as the MRPSA.
(C) The Seller and the Master Purchaser therefore enter into this German law governed transfer and assignment agreement (the Agreement) in order to transfer and assign (abtreten) legal title to all German Law Receivables (as defined below) as well as all German Law Rights (as defined below) with respect to such German Law Receivables.

Future Collateral means any asset which constitutes Collateral under this Agreement after the Cut-Off Date.
German Law Receivables means any and all Receivables:

  (iii)   which are otherwise governed by German law;
     and
(b) originated by the Seller during the Securitisation Availability Period, provided such Receivables come into existence after the Cut-Off Date and during the Securitisation Availability Period and arise from Contracts

  (iii)   which are otherwise governed by German law;

4. Governing Law / Jurisdiction
4.1 This Agreement is governed by German law.
4.2 The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the courts in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows: 1. INTERPRETATION 1.1 Capitalised terms in this Agreement shall, except where the context otherwise requires and save where otherwise defined herein, bear the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Definitions and Framework Deed (the FRAMEWORK DEED) executed by, among others, each of the parties hereto dated on or about the date hereof (as the same may be amended, varied or supplemented from time to time with the consent of the parties thereto unless, in relation to any such amendment, variation or supplement, such persons expressly state in writing that such amendment, variation or supplement is not to apply hereto) and this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the principles of construction set out therein. 1.2 In addition, the provisions set out in Clauses 3 to 6 and 12 to 28 of the Framework Deed (the FRAMEWORK PROVISIONS) shall be expressly and specifically incorporated into this Agreement, as though they were set out in full in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Framework Provisions, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

1.3 This Agreement is the Variable Funding Agreement referred to in the Framework Deed. 1.4 The Security Trustee has agreed to become a party to this Agreement solely for the better enforcement and preservation of its rights, to receive benefit of the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings, indemnities and other obligations expressed to be in its favour hereunder and to agree amendments to this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Security Trustee shall not assume any obligation or incur any liability whatsoever to any Party by virtue of the provisions contained in this Agreement. 2. THE VARIABLE FUNDING FACILITY GRANT OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING FACILITY 2.1 The Lenders hereby grant to the Issuer upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement a committed note issuance facility in each of the Agreed Currencies from, and including, the Funding Date to, but excluding the Variable Funding Facility Termination Date pursuant to which the Master Purchaser shall issue Notes to the Lenders denominated in EUR, USD and GBP provided that the aggregate USD Equivalent of the Principal Amount Outstanding of all Notes shall at all times be limited to the lesser of: (i) the Variable Funding Facility Limit; and (ii) the product of the Net Receivables Pool Balance calculated as at the immediately preceding Determination Date (or prior to the First Determination Date, as at the Funding Date) multiplied by the Adjusted Advance Rate Percentage, (the NOTE PROGRAMME LIMIT). SECURITY 2.2 It is hereby acknowledged and agreed upon a Lender making a payment of Initial Subscription Price following receipt by it of an Initial Funding Request in respect of a Note in accordance with this Agreement, it: (a) shall become a beneficiary of the security created by or pursuant to the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge in respect of all sums payable to it (or to the Funding Agent on its behalf) under this Agreement and in its capacity as a Noteholder; and (b) shall be bound by the terms of the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge; OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS AND NOTEHOLDER SEVERAL 2.3 The rights and obligations of each of the Lenders and the Noteholders under this Agreement and the Notes are several. Failure of a Lender or a Noteholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or under any Note shall neither: Page 2

(a) result in any other Lender or Noteholder incurring any liability whatsoever; nor (b) relieve any other Lender or Noteholder from any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Notes. SEPARATENESS OF DEBTS 2.4 The aggregate of the amounts due to each Noteholder under this Agreement and the Notes owned by such Noteholder at any time is a separate and independent debt and each Noteholder shall have the right (expect as otherwise provided in the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge and the other Transaction Documents) to protect and enforce its rights under the Transaction Documents and it shall not be necessary for any other Noteholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceedings to this end. 3. PURPOSE PURPOSE 3.1 The Variable Funding Facility is intended to provide the Issuer with financing to fund: (a) in part, the payment of the Purchase Price in respect of the Purchased Receivables; (b) to enable the Issuer to refinance certain amounts due and payable under the Subordinated VLN Facility; and (c) in part, the payment of the initial subscription price and any further subscription price for the FCC Units, provided that where any Further Subscription Price payable under the Variable Funding Facility is payable on a day other than a Settlement Date such Further Subscription Price shall be applied solely in repayment of principal outstanding in respect of the Subordinated VLNs denominated in the Agreed Currency in which such Further Subscription Price is to be paid and accordingly, the Issuer shall apply all amounts raised by it under the Variable Funding Facility only for such purposes and always in accordance with the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge. NO OBLIGATION TO MONITOR USE OF PROCEEDS 3.2 Without in any way affecting the obligations of the Issuer, no other Party is bound to monitor or verify the application of amounts raised by the Issuer under this Agreement.

4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ISSUE 4.1 The entitlement of the Issuer to issue and the obligations of a Lender to fund a Note under this Agreement shall be subject in all respects to Clause 18 (Conditions Precedent) of the Framework Deed. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH ADVANCE 4.2 The Issuer shall not deliver an Initial Funding Request or a Further Funding Request and a Lender shall not have any obligation to make payment of any Initial Subscription Price or Further Subscription Price unless the following conditions precedent are satisfied on the date on which the notice is delivered and, where applicable, the date on which the payment of the Initial Subscription Price or the Further Subscription Price is to be made: (a) the conditions specified in Clause 17 (Initial Conditions Precedent) of the Framework Deed shall have been satisfied as of the Funding Date; (b) no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing; (c) the date on which the Initial Subscription Price or Further Subscription Price is required to be paid falls on a Business Day during the period from (and including) the Funding Date to (but excluding) the Variable Funding Facility Termination Date; and (d) in the relevant calendar month in which such Further Funding Request is made, no more than three other requests for funding have been made and in respect of which Initial Subscription Price or Further Subscription Price has been paid; (e) all representations and warranties set out in Schedule 6 are true and correct, both before and after giving effect to the Initial Funding Request or Further Funding Request (as the case may be); (f) the aggregate USD Equivalent of the Principal Amount Outstanding of all Notes, after giving effect to the requested increase, does not exceed the Note Programme Limit as at such Determination Date; (g) the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of all USD Notes, after giving effect to the requested increase, does not exceed the Maximum USD Available Amount calculated as at the Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Settlement Date; (h) the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of all EUR Notes, after giving effect to the requested increase, does not exceed the Maximum EUR Available Amount calculated as at the Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Settlement Date; Page 4

(i) the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of all GBP Notes, after giving effect to the requested increase, does not exceed the Maximum GBP Available Amount as at the Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Settlement Date; (j) in relation to a Further Funding Request such Further Funding Request is for an aggregate USD Equivalent amount which when aggregated with the aggregate USD Equivalent of the amount of all other Further Funding Requests made for funding on the same date is not less than USD5,000,000. (k) where the Further Subscription Price is to be paid on a day other than a Settlement Date that the application of such Further Subscription Price in repayment of principal outstanding under the Subordinated VLNs in accordance with Clause 3.1 will not result in the aggregate Subordinated VLN Principal Amount Outstanding of the Subordinated VLNs denominated in the Agreed Currency in which such Further Subscription Price is to be paid to be less than the applicable Subordinated VLN Required Amount calculated as at the Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Settlement Date. 5. UTILISATION OF THE VARIABLE FUNDING FACILITY INITIAL FUNDING REQUEST 5.1 The Issuer may make a request for funding in respect of the Notes of a particular Agreed Currency to the Lenders by delivering an Initial Funding Request to the Funding Agent (copied to the Collateral Monitoring Agent) by no later than the close of business on the day falling three Business Days prior to the Funding Date. The Funding Agent shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, send a copy of any Initial Funding Request received by it in accordance with this Clause 5.1 to each of the Noteholders. 5.2 Each Initial Funding Request delivered by the Issuer pursuant to Clause 5.1 must specify: (a) the currency in which the Notes to be issued are to be denominated which shall be an Agreed Currency; (b) the aggregate par value of the Notes to be issued in the relevant Agreed Currency; (c) the Initial Subscription Price for each Lender which shall be not less than USD 1,000 per Lender in relation to an Initial Funding Request made in respect of USD Notes, not less than EUR 1,000 per Lender in relation to an Initial Funding Request made in respect of EUR Notes and not less than GBP 1,000 per Lender in relation to an Initial Funding Request made in respect of GBP Notes; and (d) the Final Maturity Date of the Notes to be issued (which shall be a date no later than the date falling 5 years after the Closing Date). Page 5

5.3 Following receipt of an Initial Funding Request made in accordance with Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 and subject always to Clause 4, each Lender shall (i) subscribe for a Note denominated in the Agreed Currency specified in the Initial Funding Request with a par value equal to that Lender's Initial Subscription Price specified in the Initial Funding Request and (ii) pay to the Funding Agent (for the account of the Issuer) by no later than 11 a.m. (London time) (or in relation to any Initial Subscription Price payable in USD, by no later than 11 a.m. (New York time)) on the Funding Date that Lender's Initial Subscription Price and the Funding Agent shall pay the amount received from each Lender to or to the order of the Issuer by no later than 1 p.m. (London time) (or in relation to any such amounts payable in USD, by no later than 1 p.m. (New York time)). Upon receipt from the Funding Agent of such amounts, the Issuer shall issue to each Lender a Note denominated in the applicable Agreed Currency as stated in the Initial Funding Request with a par value on issue equal to the Initial Subscription Price so paid by that Lender. FURTHER FUNDING REQUEST 5.4 Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent referred to in Clause 4.2, the Issuer (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) may request an increase in the par value of the Notes issued in a particular Agreed Currency by delivering a signed and completed Further Funding Request to the Funding Agent (copied to the Collateral Monitoring Agent) by no later than the close of business on any Funding Request Date. The Funding Agent shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, send a copy of any Further Funding Request received by it in accordance with this Clause 5.4 to each of the Noteholders. 5.5 Each Further Funding Request delivered by the Issuer or the Master Servicer as the case may be, pursuant to Clause 5.4 must specify: (a) the aggregate amount by which the par value of the Notes of the relevant Agreed Currency shall be increased; (b) the Further Subscription Price for each Noteholder; and (c) the date on which the Further Subscription Price is payable (being a date no earlier than the third Business Day following the date of delivery of the Further Funding Request). 5.6 Following receipt of a Further Funding Request made in accordance with Clauses 5.4 and 5.5, each Noteholder shall pay the Further Subscription Price as specified in the Further Funding Request to be payable by such Noteholder to the Funding Agent (for the account of the Issuer) by no later than 11:00 a.m. London time on the date specified for such payment in the Further Funding Request and the Funding Agent shall pay the amount received from each Noteholder to or to the order of the Issuer by no later than 1 p.m. (London time) (or in relation to any such amounts payable in USD, by no later than 1 p.m. (New York time)). 5.7 The Issuer hereby instructs the Master Servicer, on its behalf to make such Further Funding Requests during the Securitisation Availability Period as the Master Servicer may in its absolute discretion determine provided that each such Further Page 6

Funding Request and the funding requested thereby complies in all respects with the terms of Clauses 4.2 and 5.5 and the other provisions of this Agreement. ALL FUNDING REQUESTS 5.8 The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that delivery of an Initial Funding Request or a Further Funding Request pursuant to this Clause 5 (including, for the avoidance of doubt by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Issuer) shall constitute an irrevocable agreement by the Issuer binding upon it: (a) (i) to accept the payment of the Initial Subscription Price or the Further Subscription Price described in it in the Agreed Currency and on the date stated in the notice; and (ii) in the case of a Further Funding Request to an increase in the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Notes in accordance with Clause 5.5; and (b) a representation by the Issuer that each of the conditions precedent described in Clause 4 have been satisfied. 5.9 If the Funding Agent makes a payment in respect of Further Subscription Price to the Issuer in accordance with Clause 5.6, the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Note, subject to Clause 5.10, shall be increased automatically by the amount of the Further Subscription Price paid without the need for any further action by the Funding Agent, any Noteholder or the Issuer by the amount of that payment. 5.10 Each Note shall evidence the outstanding indebtedness owed by the Issuer to the relevant Noteholder in respect of that Note from time to time. The Issuer authorises each Noteholder to record on the Grid attached to each Note held by it (or, at its option, in its internal books and records): (a) the date and amount of the funding of: (i) the initial Principal Amount Outstanding of the Note; and (ii) each increase in the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Note; and (b) the date and amount of each repayment of the principal amount represented by the Note and corresponding reduction in its Principal Amount Outstanding, provided that the failure to record, or any error in recording, any of these matters on the Grid or in the internal books or records referred to above shall not adversely affect the right of the Noteholder to receive principal and interest in respect of its Note to the extent there is sufficient evidence otherwise available to prove the obligations of the Issuer to make such payments. 5.11 If a payment of Further Subscription Price is made Issuer in accordance with Clause 5.6, and the relevant Master Purchaser Transaction Account is not credited for value as of 11:00 a.m. London time on that day (or, in relation to payments to be Page 7

made in USD as of 11.00 a.m. New York time on that day) with the amount which is required to be advanced on that day by the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider pursuant to the Subordinated VLN Facility in order that the principal amount outstanding of each Subordinated VLN is not less than its respective Required Subordinated VLN Amount then there will be no increase in the Principal Amount Outstanding of that Note on account of such payment of Further Subscription Price made by such Noteholder and the Issuer will return that payment to the Funding Agent on the same day, if reasonably practicable, and otherwise on the next Business Day, by transfer to the relevant Noteholder Account. Upon receipt from the Issuer, the Funding Agent will return any amounts so returned to the relevant Noteholder. 6. CONSTITUTION OF EACH NOTE 6.1 The Issuer hereby constitutes each Note and covenants in favour of each Lender and each Noteholder that it will duly perform and comply with the obligations expressed to be undertaken by it in each Note and in the Conditions (and for this purpose any reference in the Conditions to any obligation or payment under or in respect of a Note shall be construed to include a reference to any obligation or payment under or pursuant to this provision). 6.2 Each Note issued by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement shall be: (a) in definitive registered form in the form set out in Schedule 2 or in such other form as may from time to time be agreed between the Issuer, the Funding Agent, the Security Trustee and the relevant Noteholder and executed by, or on behalf of, the Issuer; (b) denominated in an Agreed Currency and shall be the same currency in which the Receivables which are or are proposed to be purchased with the proceeds of the issue of such Notes are denominated; and (c) transferable, subject to Clause 11.8 and Condition 2. 6.3 The Issuer covenants with each Lender that it will register that Lender in the Register as the holder of each Note subscribed by it in accordance with Clause 5.3 (or, in the case of an Additional Lender (as defined in Clause 20 of the Framework Deed) issued to it in accordance with Clause 20 of the Framework Deed) immediately upon issue thereof and as the sole person with right to payment of principal of, and interest on, such Note and covenants with each Noteholder that it will register each person who has duly executed in compliance with Condition 2 a Note Transfer in substantially the form contained in Schedule 4 and a Noteholder Accession Letter in substantially the form contained in Schedule 5 in the Register as the holder of each Note transferred to it promptly upon delivery to the Issuer of such Note Transfer and Noteholder Accession Letter and as the sole person with the right to payment of principal of, and interest on, the relevant Note. The Register shall be held and maintained by, or on behalf of, the Issuer in the Republic of Ireland. The Issuer undertakes that it shall promptly notify the Funding Agent of any transfer of any Note registered pursuant to this Clause 6.3. Page 8

6.4 Subject to Condition 2, the registered holder of a Note may request an exchange of such Note for two or more substitute Notes denominated in the same currency as the Initial Note and having an aggregate principal amount outstanding equal to the Principal Amount Outstanding of the initial Note by delivering the initial Note to the Registrar (copied to the Funding Agent) with its written request therefor which shall specify the name, address, payment details and the respective principal amounts of the Notes applicable to each person to be registered as a registered holder of each such substitute Note. If the initial Note is to be exchanged for substitute Notes, the Issuer shall cause the delivery of such substitute Notes to the registered holders thereof within thirty (30) days after the registered holder of the initial Note shall have delivered its request therefor. 7. PAYMENTS 7.1 The currency of account in respect of the Notes and payment for each and every sum at any time payable by the Issuer in respect of the Notes or under this Agreement is as follows: (a) EUR, in respect of the EUR Notes; (b) GBP, in respect of the GBP Notes; and (c) USD in respect of the USD Notes. 7.2 On each date on which this Agreement requires an amount denominated in an Agreed Currency to be paid by a Noteholder hereunder, such Noteholder shall make the same available to the Funding Agent by payment in such Agreed Currency and in immediately available cleared funds to such account as the Funding Agent specifies for this purpose. On each date on which this Agreement requires an amount denominated in an Agreed Currency to be paid by the Funding Agent to the Issuer hereunder, the Funding Agent shall make the same available to the Issuer by payment in such Agreed Currency and in immediately available cleared funds to the Master Purchase Transaction Account denominated in such Agreed Currency. 7.3 All payments to be made by the Issuer hereunder or in respect of the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 11:00 a.m. London time (or, in relation to payment to be made in USD prior to 11.00 a.m. New York time), on the due date thereof to the Funding Agent Account denominated in the Agreed Currency in which the payment is to be made and in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Funding Agent from the Issuer after 11:00 a.m. London time (or, in relation to payments made in USD after 11.00 a.m. New York time), shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day, unless otherwise agreed to by the Funding Agent. Upon receipt of any such payment from the Issuer, the Funding Agent shall as soon as practicable pay the applicable amount to the Noteholder Account of each relevant Noteholder denominated in the Agreed Currency in which the payment is to be made in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any payment due from the Issuer hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the payment date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall accrue thereon at the Page 9

applicable rate during such extension. To the extent that (i) the Issuer makes a payment to the Funding Agent or (ii) the Funding Agent or any Noteholder receives or is deemed to have received any payment or proceeds for application to an obligation under this Agreement or in respect of the Notes, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, liquidator, examiner, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, state or federal law, common law, or for equitable cause, then, to the extent such payment or proceeds are set aside, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received or deemed received by the Funding Agent or that Noteholder (as applicable). 7.4 On each Determination Date the Funding Agent shall determine and notify the Issuer and the Noteholders of the relevant Reference Rate applicable to interest payments in respect of the Notes during the Interest Period ending on the second Interest Payment Date following that Determination Date and the amount of interest that will have accrued on the Notes during that Interest Period from and including the first day of such Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period. 7.5 Each determination by the Funding Agent of the applicable Reference Rate and interest payable shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer and the other parties to this Agreement in the absence of manifest error. 7.6 Where a sum is to be paid to the Funding Agent under this Agreement for or on behalf of another Party, the Funding Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum. 7.7 If the Funding Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Funding Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount was paid by the Funding Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Funding Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Funding Agent, calculated by the Funding Agent to reflect its cost of funds. 8. FEES 8.1 The Issuer will pay to the Funding Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the Commitment Fee monthly in arrears on each Monthly Settlement Date. 8.2 Upon the accession of any other Lender to this Agreement, the Issuer will pay to such Lender or as it directs such programme fee (if any) as shall be agreed with such Lender on the terms of such accession. 8.3 The Issuer will pay to the Funding Agent, for its own account, in USD the Annual Administrative Agent's Fee (as set out in the Fee Letter). Such fee shall be payable annually in advance on the Closing Date and thereafter annually in advance for so long as any obligation of the Master Purchaser to any Finance Party shall Page 10

remain outstanding or any Lender or Noteholder shall have any commitment under the Variable Funding Agreement or any Note. 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE ISSUER 9.1 The Issuer represents and warrants to and agrees with each Lender and each Noteholder on the date of this Agreement and on each Settlement Date that each of the statements set out in Schedule 6 to this Agreement is true and accurate by reference to the facts and circumstances existing at the relevant Settlement Date and the Issuer undertakes to notify the Funding Agent, each Lender and each Noteholder as soon as it becomes aware of any breach of the representations and warranties set out in Schedule 6. 9.2 The Issuer hereby covenants in favour of each Lender and each Noteholder that it will duly perform and comply with the obligations expressed to be undertaken by it in the Transaction Documents. 9.3 The Issuer hereby covenants in favour of each Lender and each Noteholder that it shall: (a) obtain, comply with the terms of and do all that is necessary to maintain in full force and effect all authorisations, approvals, licences and consents required in or by the laws and regulations of Ireland and any other applicable law to enable it lawfully to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents or to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or, subject to the compliance with applicable procedural rules, admissibility in evidence in Ireland in all material respects of each; and (b) promptly inform each Lender and each Noteholder of the occurrence of any event which is or may become (with the passage of time, the giving of notice, the making of any determination or any combination thereof in any of the Agreed Currencies) a Master Purchaser Event of Default and, upon receipt of a written request to that effect from a Lender or a Noteholder, confirm to such Lender or Noteholder (as the case may be) that, save as previously notified to such Lender or Noteholder (as the case may be) or as notified in such confirmation, no such event has occurred. 9.4 The Issuer hereby covenants with each Lender and each Noteholder, not, save to the extent as permitted or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, to: (a) have any employees or premises; or (b) pay any dividends or make any distributions in respect of its share capital or issue any additional shares; or (c) consolidate or merge with any other person or convey or transfer its properties or assets substantially in their entirety to any person except as permitted or contemplated by the Transaction Documents; or Page 11

(d) incur, create, assume or suffer to exist or otherwise become or be liable in respect of any indebtedness whether present or future other than indebtedness in respect of taxes, assessments or governmental charges not yet overdue or administration, corporate or secretarial expenses, or indebtedness incurred, created or assumed with the prior consent of each Lender and each Noteholder, it being understood that the Issuer will incur present and future indebtedness under the Subordinated VLN Facility, to which each Lender and each Noteholder hereby consents; or (e) make, incur, assume or suffer to exist any loan, advance or guarantee (including any indemnity) to any person (other than in respect of the FCC Units); or (f) sell, transfer, release or otherwise dispose of any of, or grant options, warrants or other rights in respect to, any of its assets to any person without the prior consent of each Lender and each Noteholder (other than payments of amounts of a type permitted under paragraph (d) above); or (g) have an interest in any bank account, other than the Master Purchaser Transaction Accounts and those other accounts specified or contemplated in the Transaction Documents; or (h) have any subsidiaries; or (i) carry on any business other than that which is contemplated or necessitated by the operation of the Transaction Documents. BY THE FINANCE PARTIES 9.5 Each Noteholder represents and warrants in favour of the Funding Agent that it will promptly inform the Issuer of any change in the identity of any of its Noteholder Accounts. 9.6 Each Finance Party represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Master Purchaser that: (a) it will not make any offer in Ireland in circumstances that would require the publication of a prospectus in respect of the Notes (and the offer thereof) in accordance with the Prospectus (Directive 2003/71/EC) Regulations 2005; (b) the Notes will not be the subject of a local offer (within the meaning of section 38(1) of the Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2005 of Ireland); and (c) the Notes will not be offered other than in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Investment Intermediaries Acts 1995 to 2000 of Ireland (as amended). 9.7 The Funding Agent and each Lender and Noteholder represents and warrants in favour of the Master Purchaser on each Interest Payment Date that it is beneficially Page 12

entitled to all payments made to it under the Notes and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and that it is either (A) an Irish Qualifying Lender; or (B) a person which is resident for the purpose of income or corporate income tax in a territory that has a double taxation treaty with Ireland, under the laws of that territory, or in a Member State of the European Communities (other than Ireland), under the laws of that Member State; or (C) a US company, provided that the US company is incorporated in the US and subject to tax in the US on its worldwide income; or (D) a US LLC, provided that the ultimate recipients of the interest are resident in a territory that has a double taxation treaty with Ireland, under the laws of that territory, or in a Member State of the European Communities (other than Ireland) under the laws of that Member State and the business conducted through the LLC is so structured for market reasons and not for tax avoidance purposes; provided that in the case of each of (B), (C) and (D), that where the person is a company, it does not provide its commitment through or in connection with a branch or agency in Ireland. 9.8 Each Noteholder represents and warrants that (i) it is either (x) not a US Person and is acquiring Notes for its own account or for the account or benefit exclusively of non-US Persons or (y) an Accredited Investor acquiring the Notes for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except in accordance with a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act (PROVIDED that in making the foregoing representation, such Noteholder does not agree to hold its Notes for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Notes at any time pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) and (ii) it understands that the Notes are being offered and sold to in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Federal and state securities laws and that the Issuer is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of the representation made pursuant to clause (i) and the other representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Noteholder set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemptions. CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH 9.9 If there is a Master Purchaser Event of Default, each Lender shall be released and discharged from any obligation to make any further subscription for Notes which it may have assumed as a consequence of the acceptance of any Funding Request prior to the occurrence of such Master Purchaser Event of Default. 10. TAXES PAYMENT WITHOUT WITHHOLDING 10.1 All sums payable to the Funding Agent or to a Noteholder in respect of any Note and all other sums payable by the Issuer to any person party to this Agreement in any capacity (each such Noteholder and each such person an AFFECTED PERSON) shall be paid free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Tax unless the Issuer is required by law to make such a payment subject to the withholding or deduction of Tax, in which case, the sum payable by the Issuer in respect of which such withholding or deduction is required to be made shall, subject to Clause 10.5 (unless the relevant Noteholder shall have been indemnified by Page 13

a Seller in respect of such deduction or withholding pursuant to Clause 10.7 of the Framework Deed and unless such withholding or deduction arises as a result of a breach by the Funding Agent or by the applicable Noteholder of the representations and warranties given by it in Clause 9.7), be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such withholding or deduction, the relevant Affected Person (subject to, in the case of payment by the Issuer, the relevant Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments), receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such withholding or deduction been made or required to be made. NOTICE OF OBLIGATION TO WITHHOLD 10.2 If, at any time, the Issuer is required by law to make any withholding or deduction from any sum payable by it in respect of any Note or under this Agreement, (or if thereafter there is any change in the rate at which or the manner in which such withholding or deduction is calculated), the Issuer (or the MP Cash Manager on its behalf) shall promptly notify the applicable Noteholder and the Funding Agent. PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING 10.3 If the Issuer makes any payment hereunder in respect of which it is required to make any withholding or deduction of Tax, it shall pay the full amount required to be withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for payment to the applicable authority. An original receipt (or a certified copy thereof) issued by such authority or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Affected Person shall be evidence of the payment to such authority of all amounts so required to be withheld or deducted in respect of such payment and the Issuer shall deliver such receipt to such Affected Person within thirty (30) days after it has made such payment or when such receipt is available (whichever is later). REIMBURSEMENT OF TAX CREDIT 10.4 If and to the extent that the Issuer pays any additional amount under Clause 10.1 in respect of any Tax and the relevant Affected Person receives and retains the benefit of a refund of Tax or credit or other relief against Tax otherwise payable by it which is attributable to such Tax (a TAX CREDIT), that Affected Person shall, to the extent it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of the credit, reimburse to the Issuer such amount as it shall at its own absolute discretion, acting reasonably, determine will leave that Affected Person after that reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been if payment of the relevant additional amount had not been required (taking account of any interest paid or credited in respect of the Tax). The relevant Affected Person shall make reasonable efforts to identify any available Tax Credits, but shall not be under any obligation to make such claim and, if it does so claim, it shall have absolute discretion as to the extent, order and manner in which it does so and in which refunds, reliefs and credits are to be regarded as used for these purposes. The relevant Affected Person shall not be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Issuer and its certificate as to the amount to be reimbursed shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive. Page 14

AFTER TAX AMOUNT 10.5 In the event that any taxing authority seeks to charge to Tax any sum paid to an Affected Person (other than any Tax assessed on the Noteholder under the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant Affected Person or of the jurisdiction of the office through which the relevant Affected Person is acting in connection with this Agreement), if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by the relevant Affected Person)) as a result of the indemnities or other obligations contained in this Agreement or the relevant Note then the amount so payable shall be grossed up by such amount as will ensure that after payment of the Tax so charged there shall be left a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise be payable under such indemnity or obligation. DEFAULT INTEREST 10.6 If the Issuer fails to pay any sum payable by it to any of the Security Trustee, the Funding Agent, any Lender, any Noteholder or any other Affected Person under this Agreement or a Note when due, the Issuer shall pay interest on such sum to the relevant party from the date when it became due and payable to the date of payment at the Default Rate as from time to time applicable (both before and after any judgment obtained under the relevant Transaction Document). COSTS AND EXPENSES 10.7 Without prejudice to the provisions of any other Transaction Document, to the extent that the same has not been satisfied in full by a Seller pursuant to Clause 10.7 of the Framework Deed, the Issuer shall on demand pay by way of indemnity on a full after Tax basis all costs, claims, fees, liabilities, losses and damages and expenses (including legal and out of pocket expenses) suffered or otherwise incurred (provided that, in the case of (a) below and other than in relation to the Security Trustee, such legal and out of pocket expenses have been reasonably incurred) by each Lender, each Noteholder, the Security Trustee and the Funding Agent in connection with: (a) any variation, consent or approval, or any steps taken with a view to any variation, consent or approval, in each case relating to or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or any related document which was requested by the Parent, any Seller, any Servicer or the Lenders; and (b) the preservation or enforcement of, or any action taken to preserve or enforce, any of their rights under any of the Transaction Documents or any related documents, and (for the avoidance of doubt) the Issuer shall, subject to Clause 10.4 and to the extent imposed by a Relevant Jurisdiction, pay to each Lender, each Noteholder, the Security Trustee and the Funding Agent such amount as shall represent any value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties associated with such costs, fees and expenses (if any) howsoever charged to, or suffered by, such Lender, Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent. Page 15

11. INDEMNITY FOR OTHER AMOUNTS INCREASED COSTS INDEMNITY 11.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of any other Transaction Document, to the extent that the same have not been satisfied in full by the Parent or a Seller pursuant to Clause 7 of the Framework Deed, if any Change in Law shall: (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Noteholder; or (b) impose on any Lender or Noteholder or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Variable Funding Agreement or any Notes or any commitment or participation by that Lender or Noteholder thereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Noteholder of making of any funding available pursuant to the Variable Funding Agreement or any Note or in holding any Note (or of maintaining its obligation to provide any funding pursuant to the Variable Funding Agreement or any Note or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Noteholder under any Transaction Document (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Master Purchaser will pay to such Lender or Noteholder, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Noteholder as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 11.2 If any Lender or Noteholder determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or Noteholder's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or Noteholder's holding company, if any, as a consequence of the Variable Funding Agreement or the Notes held by it, to a level below that which such Lender or Noteholder or such Lender's or Noteholder's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or Noteholder's policies and the policies of such Lender's or Noteholder's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then to the extent that the same have not been satisfied in full by the Parent or a Seller pursuant to Clause 7 of the Framework Deed from time to time the Master Purchaser will pay to such Lender or Noteholder, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Noteholder or such Lender's or Noteholder's holding company for any such reduction suffered. 11.3 Subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments, the Issuer shall pay to the Lender or the Noteholder within 10 days of demand by the Lender or the Noteholder, such amount payable under Clause 11.1 as stated in a certificate of the Lender or the Noteholder accompanying its demand, setting out the amount of such increased cost or reduction in return (which certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes). Page 16

DUTIES AND TAXES 11.4 Without prejudice to the provisions of any other Transaction Document other than as set out in Condition 2.6, the Issuer agrees with each Lender, each Noteholder and each other Affected Person that it shall pay any stamp, documentary, transfer, excise, registration, filing and other similar duties, levies, fees or other similar taxes to which: (a) this Agreement, a Note or any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or a Note; or (b) the enforcement of the rights of each Lender, each Noteholder and each other Affected Person under this Agreement or the Note, may be subject or give rise and the Issuer, subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priority of Payments, shall fully indemnify each Lender, each Noteholder and each other Affected Person, on a joint and several and after Tax basis, from and against any losses or liabilities which any of them may properly incur or otherwise suffer as a result of any delay in paying or omission to pay such duties, levies, fees or taxes. VALUE ADDED TAX AND SALES TAX 11.5 Any amounts stated in this Agreement or a Note to be payable, or payable in connection with this Agreement or a Note, by the Issuer (the PAYMENT AMOUNTS) are exclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties arising under the laws of any Relevant Jurisdiction and accordingly, to the extent that any such taxes arise in respect of any such payments under the laws of such jurisdictions, the Issuer, subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments, shall, in addition, pay any amount properly charged in respect of any such taxes or duties. For the avoidance of doubt, Payment Amounts are inclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or any similar taxes or duties arising under the laws of any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Jurisdiction and the Issuer shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts in respect of such taxes and duties under the laws of such other jurisdictions. CURRENCY INDEMNITY 11.6 If any sum due from the Issuer in respect of a Note or under this Agreement or any order or judgment given or made in relation to any such sum has to be converted from the currency (the FIRST CURRENCY) in which the same is payable hereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the SECOND CURRENCY) for the purpose of: (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Issuer; (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal; or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to any such sum, Page 17

the Issuer, subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments, shall indemnify, on an after Tax basis, and hold harmless each Lender, each Noteholder and any other Affected Person from and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Lender or the Noteholder or such other Affected Person may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. INDEMNITY AGAINST BREACH 11.7 The Issuer shall indemnify and keep indemnified each Lender, each Noteholder and any other party to this Agreement on an after Tax basis, in an amount equal to any cost, claim, loss, expense, liability or damages (including legal costs and out of pocket expenses) incurred or otherwise suffered by it in connection with any breach by the Issuer of this Agreement, any Note and any other Transaction Document and the Issuer subject to the applicable Master Purchaser Priorities of Payments shall on demand pay to each Lender, each Noteholder and any other party to this Agreement, without any set off, deduction or withholding whatsoever, the amount of any such cost, claim, loss, expense, liability or damages so suffered or incurred. TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN THE NOTEHOLDER 11.8 The Issuer shall not have any obligation to make any payment pursuant to Clauses 11.1 to 11.7 to any transferee of any Note except in each case to the extent that: (a) the Issuer has countersigned the applicable Note Transfer; and (b) the transferee executes the Noteholder Accession Letter in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 5 to this Agreement. INDEMNITIES AND MITIGATION 11.9 Any person making (or entitled to make) a claim pursuant to Clauses 11.1 to 11.7 shall in consultation with the Issuer, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to, Clause 11.1 to Clause 11.7, and shall exercise whatever rights it has to require an Affected Person to so mitigate, provided that this sentence does not in any way limit the obligations of the Issuer under Clause 11.1 to Clause 11.7. 12. ILLEGALITY AND MITIGATION 12.1 If at any time it becomes unlawful in any relevant jurisdiction for a Lender or a Noteholder to give effect to any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to maintain, make, or fund a Note or to allow a Note to remain outstanding, it shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of that fact, deliver to the Issuer and the Security Trustee and the Sellers notice to that effect Page 18

and the relevant Lender as Noteholder shall, as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of that fact, take such steps as may reasonably be open, but without incurring unreasonable costs, to it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances, including the transfer of its rights and obligations hereunder and under any Note to any Affiliate of such Lender (provided that such transfer or the assumption of such rights and obligations by such Affiliate would not be unlawful) or to another entity agreed by the Issuer, the Funding Agent and the Security Trustee and the Seller as being acceptable to it, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 12.2 If such illegality cannot be avoided in accordance with Clause 12.1 within such time period as the relevant Lender or Noteholder shall in its absolute discretion determine to be permissible, the Variable Funding Facility Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to that Lender's or Noteholder's Maximum Commitment Amount and the Commitment Proportion and the Maximum Commitment Amount applicable to that Lender or Noteholder shall be reduced to zero. Upon any such reduction of the Variable Funding Facility Limit each other Lender and Noteholder's Commitment Proportion shall be recalculated to equal the fraction (expressed as a percentage) calculated by dividing that Lender or Noteholder's Maximum Commitment Amount by the reduced Variable Funding Facility Limit. For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Clause 12 shall increase any Lender's or Noteholder's Maximum Commitment Amount. 13. NO LIABILITY No recourse under any obligation, covenant, or agreement of a Lender (whether in its capacity as a Noteholder or otherwise) or the Issuer contained in this Agreement or any Note shall be had against any shareholder, officer, trustee or director of either a Lender or the Issuer as the case may be, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise, it being expressly agreed and understood that each obligation, covenant and agreement of either a Lender, a Noteholder or the Issuer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is a corporate obligation and no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, officers, trustees, agents, employees or directors of either a Lender, a Noteholder or the Issuer as such, or any of them, or implied therefor, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by such party of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at law or by statute or constitution, of every such shareholder, officer, trustee, agent, employee or director is hereby expressly waived by the other parties as a condition of and consideration for the execution of this Agreement. 14. NO PETITION Each party hereto (other than the Security Trustee) hereby undertakes to the Issuer that it shall not, nor shall any party on its behalf, at any time institute against, or join any person in instituting against the Issuer or any or all of the revenues and assets of the Issuer any bankruptcy, winding up, re-organisation, examination, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceeding under any similar law nor petition for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, examiner, administrative receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar officer of it nor participate in any ex parte proceedings.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT 16.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of each Party and its or any subsequent successors and permitted assigns. 16.2 The Issuer shall not be entitled to assign or transfer all or part of its rights and benefits or obligations hereunder other than to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge. 16.3 Provided that such transfer shall not result in any increased liability of the Issuer relating to the withholding of tax payable in respect of the relevant Note, each Lender shall be entitled to transfer a Note to another party, provided however, that a Note may not be transferred to any person other than an Institutional Investor and provided further that such transfer is made in accordance with Clauses 19.4 and 19.5 of the Framework Deed. 17. EVIDENCE OF DEBT Each Lender shall maintain, in accordance with usual accounting practice, accounts evidencing the amounts from time to time owing to it hereunder and in its capacity as a Noteholder (including in respect of the Principal Amount Outstanding and any other sums due in respect of a Note at any time it is the Noteholder). In any legal action or Page 20

proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or a Note, the entries made in such accounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Issuer therein recorded. 18.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document to the contrary, the Funding Agent shall not be obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or a breach of a fiduciary duty. CREDIT APPRAISAL BY THE LENDERS AND NOTEHOLDERS 18.12 Each Lender and Noteholder confirms to the Funding Agent that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document including but not limited to: (a) the financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Visteon Group; (b) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Transaction Document and any Encumbrances created thereby and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document; (c) whether that Lender or Noteholder has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated Page 25

For the purposes of the Transaction Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted. CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES 18.14 No provision of this Agreement will: (a) interfere with the right of the Funding Agent, Lender or Noteholder to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit; (b) oblige the Funding Agent, Lender or Noteholder to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or (c) oblige the Funding Agent, Lender or Noteholder to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax. 19.

Interest with respect to each Interest Period shall accrue from (and including) the first day of such Interest Period to (but excluding) the last day of such Interest Period. If any Settlement Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month in which event the Settlement Date shall be the immediately preceding business day. 3.3 Interest shall cease to accrue on the Subordinated VLN as from (and including) the Subordinated VLN Final Maturity Date or the date on which a Subordinated VLN Termination Event has occurred and be continuing unless, upon due presentation payment of principal due is improperly withheld or refused, in which case it will continue to bear interest in accordance with this Subordinated VLN Condition 3 (after as well as before judgement) at the rate from time to time applicable to the Subordinated VLN until the moneys in respect thereof have been received by the Subordinated VLN Holder and notice to that effect is given in accordance with the Framework Deed. RATE OF INTEREST 3.4 The Subordinated VLN will bear interest on the Subordinated Loan Principal Amount Outstanding at the rate equal to the aggregate of 4.00 per cent. per annum and [USD LIBOR]/[GBP LIBOR]/[EURIBOR](1) (the SUBORDINATED VLN INTEREST RATE).

PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING 5.3 If the Master Purchaser makes any payment hereunder in respect of which it is required to make any withholding or deduction of Tax, it shall pay the full amount required to be withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for payment to the applicable authority. An original receipt (or a certified copy thereof) issued by such authority or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Subordinated VLN Holder shall be evidence of the payment to such authority of all amounts so required to be withheld or deducted in respect of such payment and the Master Purchaser shall deliver such receipt to such Subordinated VLN Holder within thirty (30) days after it has made such payment or when such receipt is available (whichever is later). 6.

REMEDIES AND WAIVERS No failure by the Subordinated VLN Holder to exercise, nor any delay by the Subordinated VLN Holder in exercising any right or remedy in respect of the Subordinated VLN shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies (whether provided by law or otherwise). 12.

costs, fees and expenses are reasonably incurred) the Master Purchaser, each Lender, each Noteholder, the Security Trustee, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the MP Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser Transaction Account Bank and the Funding Agent in connection with: (a) any variation, consent or approval, or any steps taken with a view to any variation, consent or approval, in each case relating to or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents or any related document which was requested by or required by any Seller, any Servicer, the Parent or any Subordinated VLN Facility Provider; (b) the preservation or enforcement of, or any action taken to preserve or enforce, any of their rights under any of the Transaction Documents or any related documents; (c) the exercise by the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, or the Funding Agent of its rights to monitor compliance by the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or any Subordinated VLN Facility Provider with its obligations under the Transaction Documents; and (d) any audit by any such party and/or any relevant auditors in relation to transaction cash flows, the performance of the Purchased Receivables, Collections and procedures relating to Collections, and (for the avoidance of doubt) the Sellers shall pay to the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the MP Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser Transaction Account Bank and the Funding Agent, as appropriate, such amount as shall represent any value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties associated with such costs, fees and expenses (if any) howsoever charged to, or suffered by, the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the MP Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser Transaction Account Bank and the Funding Agent (other than any Tax on the net income of the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the MP Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser Transaction Account Bank or the Funding Agent). DUTIES AND TAXES 11.6 Without prejudice to the provisions of the other Transaction Documents, the Sellers shall pay any stamp, documentary, transfer, excise, registration, filing and other similar duties, levies, fees or Taxes to which: (a) any of the Transaction Documents or any related documents; or (b) any purchase of Receivables under the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement; or (c) any transaction contemplated under the Transaction Documents and the related documents including the assignment, release, resale or re-assignment of any Receivable; or Page 69

(d) the enforcement of the rights of the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, and the Funding Agent, may be subject or give rise and the Sellers shall fully indemnify the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder and the Funding Agent, on an after Tax basis, from and against any losses or liabilities which any of them may properly incur or otherwise suffer as a result of any delay in paying or omission to pay such duties, levies, fees or taxes (other than any Tax on the net income of the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder and the Funding Agent). VALUE ADDED AND SALES TAX 11.7 (a) Any amounts stated in any Transaction Document to be payable, or payable in connection with any Transaction Document, by the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider are exclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties and accordingly, to the extent that any such taxes arise in respect of such payments, the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider (as the case may be) shall, in addition, pay any amount properly charged in respect of any such taxes or duties. (b) Any amounts stated in any Transaction Document to be payable by the Master Purchaser, any Lender, the Security Trustee, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the MP Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser Transaction Account Bank, the Funding Agent and any Noteholder are unless otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document inclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or other similar taxes or duties. GROSSING-UP 11.8 (a) All payments made by each Seller, each Servicer, the Parent or each Subordinated VLN Facility Provider to the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee, each Noteholder and the Funding Agent under or in connection with any Transaction Document shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes (or otherwise) unless the deduction or withholding is required by law in which event the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider shall: (i) ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; and (ii) forthwith pay to the Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, the Security Trustee, the relevant Noteholder and/or, as the case may be, the Funding Agent such additional amount (other than any Tax on the net profit of the Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, the Security Trustee, the relevant Noteholder or the Funding Agent) so that the net amount received by the Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, the Security Trustee, the relevant Noteholder or the Funding Agent as the case may be, will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been made. Page 70

(b) The Seller hereby undertakes to indemnify the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee and each Noteholder, in respect of any withholding or deduction on account of Tax on the payment of any amount due in respect of any Purchased Receivable or otherwise due under any Transaction Document such that the Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Security Trustee and each Noteholder, as the case may be, receives the same amount that it would have received had there been no such withholding or deduction. (c) All payments made to the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider by the Master Purchaser, any Lender, any Noteholder or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent under or in connection with any Transaction Document shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes (or otherwise) unless the deduction or withholding is required by law in which event the Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, Noteholder or the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, shall ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required. For the avoidance of doubt, save as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document none of the Master Purchaser, any Lender, any Noteholder or the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent shall be obliged to gross up any such payment following any such deduction or withholding. TAX CREDITS 11.9 If any of the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider pays any additional amount (an ADDITIONAL PAYMENT) under Clause 11.8 and the Master Purchaser, a Lender, the Security Trustee, a Noteholder or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, effectively obtains a refund of Tax or credit against Tax on its overall net income by reason of that Additional Payment (a TAX CREDIT) and the Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, the relevant Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, is able to identify such Tax Credit as being attributable to such Additional Payment, then the Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, the relevant Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider (as the case may be) such amount as the Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, the relevant Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, shall determine to be the proportion of such Tax Credit as will leave it, after that reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if that Additional Payment had not been required. The Master Purchaser, the relevant Lender, the relevant Noteholder or the Funding Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to claim any Tax Credit and, if it does so claim, shall have absolute discretion as to the extent, order and manner in which it does so but shall in no circumstances be liable to the Seller, the Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider for not doing so. AFTER TAX AMOUNT 11.10 In the event that any taxing authority seeks to charge to Tax any sum paid to the Master Purchaser, a Lender, a Noteholder, the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent as a result of the indemnities contained herein then the amount so payable shall be grossed up by such amount as will ensure that after payment of the Tax so charged (and taking Page 71

account of the Tax effect of any loss giving rise to the right to such an indemnity) there shall be left a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise be payable under such indemnity or obligation. 12. WAIVERS; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE 12.1 No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document to which it is a party or available at law shall impair such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof. The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Deed or any Transaction Document to which it is a party or at law shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under this Deed or any Transaction Document to which it is a party or at law. 12.2 The rights of any party to any Transaction Document shall not be capable of being waived otherwise than by an express waiver in writing or by a waiver in such other form as may be agreed by the parties to the relevant Transaction Document for the purposes of minimising or avoiding liability to stamp tax. 12.3 The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Deed and any Transaction Document to which it is a party are cumulative and may be exercised as often as they are considered appropriate and are in addition to any rights and remedies provided by law. 13. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER 13.1 Subject to Clauses 13.2, 13.3 and 13.5 no amendment, modification or variation of any or all of the Transaction Documents shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the parties to the relevant Transaction Document to be so modified or varied or initialled for identification on behalf of such parties or in such other form as may be agreed by the parties to the relevant Transaction Document for the purposes of minimising or avoiding any liability to stamp tax. 13.2 The Funding Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Security Trustee are each hereby authorised and instructed by each of the Lenders and the Noteholders to consent and agree to any amendment, modification or variation of any or all of the Transaction Documents or to any waiver of any provision of a Transaction Document: (a) if such amendment, modification, variation or waiver is of a minor or technical nature where the Funding Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent or the Security Trustee (as applicable) is satisfied that such amendment, modification, variation or waiver would not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Lenders and the Noteholders; (b) if such amendment, modification, variation or waiver relates to a Lender Reserved Matter, where such amendment, modification, variation or waiver has been consented to in writing by each Lender affected by such Lender Reserved Matter (with each of the Lender Reserved Matters listed at items (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of the definition thereof being deemed to affect all Lenders); (c) if such amendment, modification, variation or waiver does not relate to a Lender Reserved Matter but relates to any matters involving a variation or amendment to the calculation or definition of the Net Receivables Pool Balance or the Adjusted Page 72

Advance Rate Percentage, where such amendment, modification, variation or waiver has been consented to in writing by Lenders, the sum of whose Commitment Proportions is equal to or greater than 66 2/3 per cent.; and (d) if such amendment, modification, variation or waiver is not of the type referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above, where such amendment, modification, variation or waiver has been consent to in writing by the Majority Lenders. 13.3 Each of the Lenders and the Noteholders hereby agree that they shall upon request by any Seller, by the Parent, by the Master Purchaser or by the Funding Agent execute and deliver such documents as are necessary or desirable to give effect to any amendment, modification, variation or waiver which has been consented and agreed to by the Collateral Monitoring Agent in accordance with the provisions of Clause13.2. 13.4 If, in connection with any proposed modification, amendment, variation, waiver or consent requiring the consent of "each Lender" or "each Lender affected thereby," the consent of the Majority Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a NON-CONSENTING LENDER), then the Parent may elect to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender and a Noteholder pursuant to the Transaction Documents, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Parent and the Funding Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase in full for cash at their Principal Amount Outstanding together with any accrued by unpaid interest thereon or fees or amounts payable to the Non-Consenting Lender in respect thereof, the Notes held by the Non-Consenting Lender and to become a Lender and Noteholder for all purposes under the Transaction Documents and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements for transfer of the relevant Notes contained in the Variable Funding Agreement and the Conditions, and (ii) the Parent and each Seller shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Clause 7 had the Notes of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. 13.5 The Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Security Trustee may upon request by the Parent agree, without either recourse to, or the consent of, the Lenders or the Noteholders (or in the case of the Security Trustee any other Master Purchaser Secured Creditor), to such amendments, modifications and/or variations to the Transaction Documents as are necessary or desirable to include (subject always to their compliance with the Eligibility Criteria) as Eligible Receivables, Receivables owed by Obligors resident in Sweden or in a state of the United States of America or which are governed by the laws of Sweden or the laws of a state of the United States of America, as the case may be, provided that: (a) in respect of a Receivable owed by an Obligor resident in Sweden or which is governed by Swedish law: (i) notice of the assignment to the Master Purchaser or FCC Visteon (as applicable) in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Monitoring Agent has been given to the relevant Obligor; Page 73

(ii) a legal opinion in form and substance and from counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Monitoring Agent (and, in respect of matters directly affecting the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee) has been received, addressed to each of the Security Trustee, the Funding Agent and the Lenders, confirming that as a matter of Swedish law, and subject only to customary assumptions and qualifications, the assignment of such Receivable pursuant to the Master Receivables Purchaser and Servicing Agreement or (if applicable) the FCC Master French Receivables Transfer and Servicing Agreement is valid and enforceable and would be recognised and enforced by the courts of Sweden and confirming such other matters as the Collateral Monitoring Agent may reasonably require; and (iii) such amendments to the Transaction Documents are made as the Collateral Monitoring Agent determines are necessary or desirable to ensure that the Master Purchaser or FCC Visteon (as applicable) has good title to or legal ownership of such Receivable as a matter of the laws of all applicable jurisdictions; and (b) in respect of a Receivable owed by an Obligor resident in a state of the United Sates of America or which is governed by the law of a state of the United States of America: (i) a legal opinion in form and substance and from counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Monitoring Agent (and, in respect of matters directly affecting the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee) has been received, addressed to each of the Security Trustee, the Funding Agent and the Lenders confirming that as a matter of the law of the applicable state of the United States of America, and subject only to customary assumptions and qualifications, the assignment of such Receivable pursuant to the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement or (if applicable) the FCC Master French Receivables Transfer and Servicing Agreement is valid and enforceable and would be recognised and enforced by the courts of the relevant state of the United States of America and confirming such other matters as the Collateral Monitoring Agent may reasonably require; (ii) such amendment to the Transaction Documents are made as the Collateral Monitoring Agent determines are necessary or desirable to ensure that the Master Purchaser or FCC Visteon (as applicable) has good title to or legal ownership of such Receivable as a matter of the laws of all applicable jurisdictions; and (iii) applicable UCC Financing Statements have been filed in the District of Columbia in respect of the Seller of such Receivable and in respect of the Master Purchaser. 13.6 Neither the Collateral Monitoring Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be liable to any Lender or Noteholder or the Master Purchaser or FCC Visteon (as applicable) or any Master Purchaser Secured Creditor or to any other person for any consent given, or any act (or omission) in accordance with the provisions of Clause 13.5. 13.7 The Master Purchaser undertakes to the Parent that it shall not agree to any amendment, variation or modification to the terms of the Corporate Administration Page 74

Agreement or the Cash Management Agreement without the prior written consent of the Parent. 14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT Each and every Transaction Document sets out the entire agreement and understanding between the parties in respect of the subject matter of the agreements contained therein and supersedes any previous agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter therein. It is agreed that: (a) no party has entered into any Transaction Document in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking of any other party which is not expressly set out or referred to in any such Transaction Document; (b) except for breach of an express representation or warranty under any Transaction Document no party shall have any claim or remedy under any of the Transaction Documents in respect of misrepresentation (whether negligent or otherwise, and whether made prior to or at the time of execution of the Transaction Documents) or untrue statement made by any other party; (c) this Clause shall not exclude any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation. 15.

NO PETITION 16.1 Each party hereto, other than the Issuer and the Security Trustee, hereby undertakes to the Issuer and the Security Trustee that it shall not, nor shall any party on its behalf, at any time institute against, or join any person in instituting against the Master Purchaser or any or all of the revenues and assets of such party any bankruptcy, winding up, re-organisation, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other Page 75

19. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS 19.1 In any proceeding, action or claim relating to any Transaction Document a statement as to any amount due which is certified as being correct by an officer of a Lender shall, unless otherwise provided in the Transaction Document or this Deed, or in the case of manifest error, be prima facie evidence that such amount is in fact due and payable. SEVERABILITY 19.2 Any provision of any Transaction Document or this Deed 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby waives any provision of law but only to the extent permitted by law which renders any provision of any Transaction Document prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. ASSIGNABILITY 19.3 Save as specifically provided in any Transaction Document, none of the Sellers, the Servicers, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider shall be entitled to assign any of its rights or transfer any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Parent and of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any such party shall be null and void). 19.4 Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, any Lender may (without the prior written consent of any party) assign its rights and/or transfer its obligations under the Transaction Documents if such assignment is made in accordance with any express provisions of such Transaction Document and is to: (a) any Affiliate of that Lender; or (b) any other Lender or any Affiliate of another Lender; or (c) any other bank or financial institution approved in writing by the Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 19.5 Following the occurrence of a Termination Event which has not been waived, any Lender may (without the prior written consent of any party) assign its rights and/or transfer its obligations under the Transaction Documents to any person provided that any such arrangement or transfer shall not increase the Master Purchaser's cost of funding and provided that such assignment and/or transfer is made in accordance with any express provisions of such Transaction Document. 19.6 Each assignor or transferor shall notify the Funding Agent and the Parent of any assignment or transfer under Clause 19.4 and/or Clause19.5. Each assignor or transferor may, in connection with any such assignment or transfer, disclose to the assignee or Page 77

transferee or potential assignee or transferee any information relating to the Sellers, the Servicers, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider, including the Receivables, furnished to such assignor or transferor by or on behalf of the Sellers, the Servicers, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or transferee or potential assignee or transferee agrees to observe the confidentiality of such information which is confidential in accordance with Clause 23. NO SET-OFF 19.7 Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents and subject to Clause 19.8, all payments required to be made under the Transaction Documents shall be calculated without reference to any set-off or counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction for or on account of any set-off or counterclaim, save as provided by mandatory provisions of law. 19.8 The Master Purchaser, each Lender, the Funding Agent and the Security Trustee may (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred and is subsisting, set-off, appropriate and apply any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Person (acting in its capacity as such) to, or for the account of, a Seller, a Servicer, the Parent or the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider against any amount owing by any Seller, any Servicer, the Parent or any Subordinated VLN Facility Provider, as the case may be, to such Person. RELEASE FROM GERMAN LAW RESTRICTIONS 19.9 Any party to this Agreement organised under German law hereby releases any other party to any Transaction Document to which it grants any power of attorney or other authorisation under any Transaction Document from any restriction of double representation or self-dealing under any applicable law (in particular under section 181 of the German Civil Code (Burgerliches Gesetzbuch)). 20. INCREASE OF VARIABLE FUNDING FACILITY LIMIT 20.1 At any time during the Securitisation Availability Period, the Parent may, by written notice (a FACILITY INCREASE NOTICE) to the Funding Agent (who shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) and the Collateral Monitoring Agent request an increase to the Variable Funding Facility Limit (the amount of any such increase being an INCREMENTAL FACILITY AMOUNT) provided that both (A) at the time of such request and (B) upon the date upon which such increase is to come into effect: (a) no Master Purchaser Event of Default, Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and not been waived; (b) the increase would not result in the Variable Funding Facility Limit being in excess of USD350,000,000. Such Facility Increase Notice shall set out the requested Incremental Facility Amount and shall offer each Lender the opportunity to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amount so as to provide a commitment in respect of a portion of the Incremental Facility Amount by giving written notice of their acceptance of such offered Page 78

increased Maximum Commitment Amount to the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Funding Agent and the Parent within a time period (the OFFER PERIOD) to be specified in the Facility Increase Notice provided that no Lender will have any obligation to so agree to an increase in their Maximum Commitment Amount. In the event that at the end of the Offer Period, Lenders shall have agreed to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amounts by an aggregate amount less than the Incremental Facility Amount requested by the Parent, the Parent may request that the Variable Funding Facility Limit be increased by such lesser amount and/or shall have the right to arrange for one or more banks or financial institutions approved by the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Funding Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) who are persons to whom Notes may be transferred in accordance with Condition 2) (any such bank or other financial institution being an ADDITIONAL LENDER) to agree to extend a commitment to provide funding pursuant to the Variable Funding Agreement with a Maximum Commitment Amount applicable to such Additional Lender being a portion of the amount by which the Incremented Facility Amount exceeds the aggregate amount by which Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amounts in accordance with this Clause 20.1. 20.2 The increase in any Lender's Maximum Commitment Amount agreed to pursuant to Clause 20.1 and the corresponding increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit shall be conditional, and take effect, upon the execution by each of the Lenders who have agreed to increase their Maximum Commitment Amounts, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Security Trustee, the Funding Agent, the Parent and the Master Purchaser of an additional commitment agreement in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Security Trustee and the agreed commitment of any Additional Lender and the corresponding increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit shall be conditional, and take effect, upon the execution by that Additional Lender of deeds of adherence to each of this Deed (in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 6) and the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge (in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 2 to the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge) and the execution by such Lender of a Noteholder Accession Letter in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 5 to the Variable Funding Agreement. 20.3 Immediately following any increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit, each Lender and Noteholder's respective Commitment Proportion shall be recalculated as the fraction (expressed as a percentage) calculated by dividing (A) that Lender or Noteholder's Maximum Commitment Amount (taking into account any increase in such amount agreed to in accordance with this Clause 20) by (B) the Variable Funding Facility Limit (taking into account any increase in such amount agreed to in accordance with this Clause 20). 20.4 Upon any Additional Lender becoming party to the Variable Funding Agreement in accordance with this Clause 20, the Master Purchaser agrees that it shall on the Settlement Date following the date upon which the Additional Lender becomes party to each of the Variable Funding Agreement, the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge and the Framework Deed it shall issue to such Additional Lender a Note in each Agreed Currency each with a par value equal to the Further Subscription Price stated to be payable by that Additional Lender in the Further Funding Request relating to such Settlement Date calculated by reference to that Additional Lender's Commitment Proportion of the total funding to be made available in that Agreed Currency and the Commitment Proportion of all other Lenders (as recalculated pursuant to Clause 20.3) provided that the Further Page 79

Subscription Price so payable by any Additional Lender shall not be less than USD1,000 in respect of the USD Note issued to that Additional Lender, EUR1,000 in respect of the EUR Note issued to that Additional Lender and GBP1,000 in respect of the GBP Note issued to that Additional Lender. The Notes issued pursuant to this Clause 20.4 shall rank pari passu with and have the same terms as all other Notes issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Variable Funding Agreement. 20.5 In order to induce any Additional Lenders to provide a commitment to fund or to induce any Lenders to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amount in accordance with this Clause 20, the Parent may give notice to the Funding Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Master Purchaser (copied to the Lenders) of its intention to increase the interest rate applicable to the Notes which notice shall specify the rate of interest that shall accrue in respect of Notes in each Agreed Currency and with effect from the relevant effective date set out in any such notice, the Reference Rate for all Notes shall be such increased for Notes of the relevant agreed Currency rate as set out in such notice. 20.6 All costs, fees (including legal fees) and expenses of any party in connection with any increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit made in accordance with this Clause 20 (including without limitation in connection with the preparation of any additional commitment agreement) shall be for the account of the Parent. 20.7 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 20 shall result in any Lender having an obligation to make a payment in respect of Initial Subscription Price or Further Subscription Price in circumstances where the conditions set out in Clause 4.2 of the Variable Funding Agreement are not satisfied on the date on which the payment of the Initial Subscription Price or the Further Subscription Price is to be made. 20.8 Each of the Master Purchaser, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Funding Agent, the Parent and the Security Trustee agree that they shall execute and deliver such documents as are necessary to give effect to any increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit, any increase in any Lender's Maximum Commitment Amount and/or the adherence of any Additional Lender to the Variable Funding Agreement, the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge and/or the Framework Deed in each case in accordance with this Clause 20.
