THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.
 Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
 
1.  Accounting Policies
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the cash flows for the same nine-month periods, and the financial position at September 30, 2008, and except as otherwise discussed such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature.  The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do not contain information included in the company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company’s latest annual report.
 
All dollar amounts, except share and per share amounts, are in millions of dollars throughout the tables included in these notes unless otherwise indicated.
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as a result of the decision to sell the Marine segment.  The company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying notes and other information provided in this Form 10-Q reflect the Marine segment as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.  After reclassifying the Marine segment to discontinued operations, the company has two remaining reportable segments, the Crane and Foodservice segments.  See further detail related to the Marine segment at Note 3, “Discontinued Operations.”
 
2. Acquisitions
 
On March 6, 2008, the company formed a 50% joint venture with the shareholders of TaiAn Dongyue Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. (TaiAn Dongyue) for the production of mobile and truck-mounted hydraulic cranes.  The joint venture is located in TaiAn City, Shandong Province, China.  The company controls 60% of the voting rights and has other rights that give it significant control over the operations of TaiAn Dongyue, and accordingly, the results of this joint venture are consolidated by the company.  The aggregate consideration for the joint venture interest in TaiAn Dongyue was $32.5 million and resulted in $21.7 million of goodwill and $8.5 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  See further detail related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the TaiAn Dongyue acquisition at Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
 
On July 19, 2007, the company acquired Shirke Construction Equipments Pvt. Ltd (Shirke) for an aggregate consideration of $64.5 million including approximately $1.3 million of acquisition costs.  Headquartered in Pune, India, Shirke is a market leader in the Indian tower crane industry and has been Potain’s Indian manufacturing partner and distributor since 1982.  The aggregate consideration paid for Shirke resulted in $33.8 million of goodwill and $30.2 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  See further detail related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the Shirke acquisition at Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
 
On January 3, 2007, the company acquired the Carrydeck line of mobile industrial cranes from Marine Travelift, Inc. of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin for an aggregate consideration of $16.0 million.  The acquisition of the Carrydeck line added six new models to the company’s product offering of mobile industrial cranes.  The aggregate consideration paid for the Carrydeck line resulted in $9.2 million of goodwill and $6.5 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  See further detail related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the Carrydeck acquisition at Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
 
3. Discontinued Operations
 
On August 1, 2008, the company signed a definitive purchase agreement to sell the ownership interests of its Marine segment to Fincantieri Marine Group Holdings Inc, a subsidiary of Fincantieri-Cantieri Navali Italiani, S.p.A. (“Fincantieri”).  Lockheed Martin Corporation has agreed to be a minority investor with Fincantieri in the proposed acquisition.  This transaction will allow the company to focus its financial assets and managerial resources on the growth of its increasingly global crane and foodservice businesses.  The purchase price for the Marine segment is $120 million in cash
 
6

 
and is subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments.  Assuming a timely completion of this sale by year-end, the transaction is expected to generate a per-share, after-tax gain of approximately $0.60.  The company intends to use the after-tax proceeds for general corporate purposes, which include pay down of debt anticipated as a result of the pending acquisition of Enodis.   The sale is subject to customary clearances for transactions of this type including U.S. antitrust and certain U.S. security agencies.
 
The Company is reporting the Marine segment as a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes as of September 30, 2008, and for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  Results of the Marine segment in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued in the Consolidated Financial Statements to exclude the results from continuing operations.  The following selected financial data of the Marine segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the businesses operated as a stand-alone entity.  There were no general corporate expenses or interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for this business during the periods presented.

4. Financial Instruments
 
As discussed in Note 18, the company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” effective January 1, 2008.  The following table sets forth the company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2008 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 	 	Fair Value as of September 30, 2008	 	
 	 	Level 1	 	Level 2	 	Level 3	 	Total

Forward commodity contracts	 	—	 	—	 	—	 	—	 	
Interest rate swaps	 	0.3	 	—	 	—	 	0.3	 	
Total assets at fair value	 	3.2	 	—	 	—	 	3.2

Interest rate swaps	 	—	 	—	 	—	 	—	 	
Total liabilities at fair value	 	205.2	 	1.2	 	—	 	206.4	 	
 
The carrying value of the company’s other financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, retained interest in receivables sold and short-term loans payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). SFAS No. 157 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 	Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities	
 	 	 	
 	Level 2	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or	
 	 	 	
 	 	Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or	
 	 	 	
 	 	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability	
 	 	 	
 	Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability	
 
The company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The company has determined that our financial assets and liabilities are level 1 and level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
As a result of our global operating and financing activities, the company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. When deemed appropriate, we minimize our risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes and we do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts and forward commodity purchase agreements are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 1 and level 2.
 
During July 2008, the Company entered into various hedging transactions (the "hedges") to comply with the terms of its New Credit Agreement (see further detail related to the New Credit Agreement at Note 8, “Debt”) issued to fund the purchase of Enodis plc ("Enodis").  The hedges were required to limit the company’s exposure to fluctuations in the underlying purchase price of the Enodis shares which could ultimately require additional funding capacity under the New Credit Agreement.  Subsequent to entering into the hedging transactions, the U.S. Dollar strengthened against the British Pound which resulted in a significant change to the fair value of the underlying hedges.   FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" states that hedges of a firm commitment to acquire a business do not qualify for hedge accounting (or balance sheet) treatment.  Therefore, the periodic market value changes in these hedges are required to go through the income statement.  Additionally, the hedge accounting treatment will lower the initial amount of goodwill booked for the purchase by the amount of the loss on currency hedges.  The final disposition of these hedge positions will be determined based upon the market exchange rate on the date the funding transaction is completed.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, loss on currency hedges related to the purchase of Enodis was $198.4 million.  The acquisition price of Enodis, in U.S. Dollars, has decreased by a similar amount from the point in time in which the hedges were entered into.  Accordingly, the goodwill that will be recorded when the acquisition is finalized will be lower than it would have been if the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the British Pound had not changed from the time the hedges were entered into.

Balance as of September 30, 2008	 	$	291.2	 	$	200.1	 	$	491.3	 	
 
As discussed in Note 2, “Acquisitions,” during 2008, the company formed a 50% joint venture with the shareholders of TaiAn Dongyue for the production of mobile and truck-mounted hydraulic cranes.  The joint venture is located in TaiAn City, Shandong Province, China.  The aggregate consideration for the joint venture interest in TaiAn Dongyue was $32.5 million and resulted in $21.7 million of goodwill and $8.5 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  The other intangible assets consist of trademarks of $1.0 million, which have an indefinite life, customer relationships of $0.9 million, which have been assigned a 10-year life, and other intangibles of $6.6 million, which consist primarily of crane manufacturing licenses and have been assigned a 10-year life.
 
During 2007, the company completed the acquisitions of the Carrydeck line of mobile industrial cranes and Shirke.  The acquisition of the Carrydeck line resulted in an increase of $9.2 million of goodwill and $6.5 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  The other intangible assets consist of trademarks totaling $1.2 million, which have an indefinite life, customer relationships of $4.2 million, which have been assigned a 20-year life, and non-patented technologies of $1.1 million which have been assigned a 20-year life.  The acquisition of Shirke resulted in an increase of $33.8 million of goodwill and $30.2 million of other intangible assets being recognized by the company’s Crane segment.  The other intangible assets consist of customer relationships of $10.5 million, which have been assigned a 10-year life, trademarks totaling $9.1 million, which have an indefinite life, and other intangibles of $10.6 million, which include various intangible assets that are amortized over 6 months to 6 years, which approximates their estimated useful lives.
 
The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the company’s intangible assets other than goodwill were as follows as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

8. Debt
 
In April 2008, the company entered into a $2,400.0 million credit agreement which was amended and restated as of August 25, 2008 to ultimately increase the size of the total facility to $2,925.0 million (New Credit Agreement).  The New Credit Agreement will not become effective until the effective date of the acquisition (see further detail related to the acquisition in Note 21, “Subsequent Events”) or, in the case of a takeover offer, the date on which the takeover offer has become or is declared unconditional in all respects.  Until such time as the company borrows under the New Credit Agreement, the company’s existing $300.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2006, will remain in effect.
 
The New Credit Agreement includes four loan facilities – a revolving facility of $400.0 million with a five-year term, a Term Loan A of $1,025.0 million with a five-year term, a Term Loan B of $1,200.0 million with a six-year term, and a Term Loan X of $300.0 million with an eighteen-month term.  The company is obligated to prepay the three term loan facilities from the net proceeds of asset sales, casualty losses, equity offerings, and new indebtedness for borrowed money, and from a portion of its excess cash flow, subject to certain exceptions.
 
Borrowings made under the revolving facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan X will initially bear interest at 3.25 percent in excess of an adjusted LIBOR rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement, or 1.50 percent in excess of an alternate base rate, at the company’s option.  Borrowings made under the Term Loan B will initially bear interest at 3.50 percent in excess of an adjusted LIBOR rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement, or 1.50 percent in excess of an alternate base rate, at the company’s option.  The company will also pay a commitment fee of 0.50 percent per annum for the first 120 days, and 0.75 percent per annum after the 120th day on the entire facility balance up to the date of funding; upon funding, the commitment fee will reduce to apply only to the revolving commitment and will be 0.50 percent per year.  As of September 30, 2008, the company incurred $17.6 million in deferred financing expenses.  The cash flow impact of these fees is included in cash flow used for financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008.
 
On August 1, 2007, the company redeemed its 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, the company paid the note holders 105.25 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. As a result of this redemption, the company incurred a charge of $12.5 million ($8.1 million net of income taxes) related to the call premium, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
9. Accounts Receivable Securitization
 
The company has entered into an accounts receivable securitization program whereby it sells certain of its domestic trade accounts receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sells participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third-party financial institution (Purchaser). The Purchaser receives an ownership and security interest in the pool of receivables.  New receivables are purchased by the special purpose subsidiary and participation interests are resold to the Purchaser as collections reduce previously sold participation interests. The company has retained collection and administrative responsibilities on the participation interests sold. The Purchaser has no recourse against the company for uncollectible receivables; however, the company’s retained interest in the receivable pool is
 
10

 
subordinate to the Purchaser and is recorded at fair value. Due to a short average collection cycle of less than 60 days for such accounts receivable and due to the company’s collection history, the fair value of the company’s retained interest approximates book value. The retained interest recorded at September 30, 2008 is $81.3 million and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
The securitization program includes certain of the company’s domestic U.S. Foodservice and Crane segments’ businesses and the capacity of the program is $105.0 million. Trade accounts receivables sold to the Purchaser and being serviced by the company totaled $85.0 million at September 30, 2008.
 
Incremental sales of trade receivables from the special purpose subsidiary to the Purchaser totaled $278.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Cash collections of trade accounts receivable balances in the total receivable pool totaled $910.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
The accounts receivables securitization program is accounted for as a sale in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” Sales of trade receivables to the Purchaser are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds received are included in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
 
The table below provides additional information about delinquencies and net credit losses for trade accounts receivable subject to the accounts receivable securitization program.

10.  Income Taxes
 
The company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2001.  The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (WDOR) continues its examination of the company’s Wisconsin income tax returns for 1997 through 2005.  The company anticipates that this examination will be completed by the end of 2008.  As of September 30, 2008, the WDOR has not issued a formal assessment report.  In August 2007, the German tax authorities began an examination of the company’s German entity’s income and trade tax returns for 2001 through 2005.  Thus far, there have been no significant developments with regard to this German examination.
 
The company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to increase by $2.0 million, including interest and penalty, to $38.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2008.  All of the company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2008, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
 
During the next 12 months, the company does not expect any other significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits.

11.  Earnings Per Share
 
The following is a reconciliation of the average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share:

 	 	Three Months Ended
September 30,	 	Nine Months Ended
September 30,	 	
 	 	2008	 	2007	 	2008	 	2007	 	
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	 	130,090,741	 	125,175,721	 	129,855,810	 	124,314,233	 	
Effect of dilutive securities - stock options and restricted stock	 	—	 	2,739,283	 	1,925,824	 	2,826,979	 	
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	 	130,090,741	 	127,915,004	 	131,781,634	 	127,141,212	 	
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the total number of potential dilutive options was 1.4 million.  However, these options were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the quarter since to do so would decrease the loss per share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, 0.3 million common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, no common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
 
During each of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per outstanding common share.  During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the company paid three quarterly dividends totaling $0.06 and $0.055 per share, respectively.
 
12.  Stockholders’ Equity
 
On March 21, 2007, the Board of Directors of the company approved the Rights Agreement between the company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the company (the “Common Stock”), to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2007 (the “Record Date”).  In addition to the Rights issued as a dividend on the record date, the Board of Directors has also determined that one Right will be issued together with each share of Common Stock issued by the company after the Record Date.  Generally, each Right, when it becomes exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from the company one share of Common Stock at a purchase price, in cash, of $110.00 per share ($220.00 per share prior to the September 10, 2007 stock split), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Rights Agreement (the “Purchase Price” or “Exercise Price”).
 
As explained in the Rights Agreement, the Rights become exercisable on the “Distribution Date”, which is that date that any of the following occurs: (1) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the company; or (2) 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of such outstanding shares of Common Stock.  The Rights will expire at the close of business on March 29, 2017, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the company as described in the Rights Agreement.
 
On July 26, 2007, the board of directors authorized a two-for-one split of the company’s common stock.  Record holders of the company’s common stock at the close of business on August 31, 2007 received on September 10, 2007 one additional share of common stock for every share of the company’s common stock they owned as of August 31, 2007.  The company’s shares outstanding at the close of business on August 31, 2007 totaled 62,787,642.  The company’s common stock began trading at its post-split price at the beginning of trading on September 11, 2007.  Per share, share and stock option amounts within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.
 
In November 2007, the company sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, approximately 4.0 million shares of its common stock at a price of $39.48 per share to the public.  The offering was undertaken to meet anticipated investor demand for the company's common stock in connection with Standard & Poor's decision to add the company to the S&P 500 Index as of the close of trading on November 15, 2007.  Net cash proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, were $156.9 million.  The company used the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

13.  Stock Based Compensation
 
Stock based compensation expense is calculated by estimating the fair value of incentive stock options at the time of grant and amortized over the stock options’ vesting period.  Stock based compensation was $1.5 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.  Stock based compensation was $1.6 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
 
14.  Contingencies and Significant Estimates
 
The company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) in connection with the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site near Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Approximately 150 potentially responsible parties have been identified as having shipped hazardous materials to this site. Eleven of those, including the company, have formed the Lemberger Site Remediation Group and have successfully negotiated with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to fund the cleanup and settle their potential liability at this site. The estimated remaining cost to complete the clean up of this site is approximately $8.1 million. Although liability is joint and several, the company’s share of the liability is estimated to be 11% of the remaining cost. Remediation work at the site has been substantially completed, with only long-term pumping and treating of groundwater and site maintenance remaining. The company’s remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2008 is $0.8 million. Based on the size of the company’s current allocation of liabilities at this site, the existence of other viable potential responsible parties and current reserve, the company does not believe that any liability imposed in connection with this site will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
During the due diligence process for the sale of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Diversified Refrigeration, LLC, (f/k/a Diversified Refrigeration, Inc.) (DRI) certain contaminants in the soil and ground water associated with the facility were identified. As part of the sale agreement, the company agreed to be responsible for costs associated with further investigation and remediation of the issues identified. Estimates indicate that the costs to remediate this site are approximately $2.0 million. During December 2005, the company recorded a $2.0 million reserve for these estimated costs. This charge was recorded in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. The company’s remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in other accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2008 is $0.7 million. Based upon available information, the company does not expect the ultimate costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
At certain of the company’s other facilities, the company has identified potential contaminants in soil and groundwater. The ultimate cost of any remediation required will depend upon the results of future investigation. Based upon available information, the company does not expect the ultimate costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
The company believes that it has obtained and is in substantial compliance with those material environmental permits and approvals necessary to conduct its various businesses. Based on the facts presently known, the company does not expect environmental compliance costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
As of September 30, 2008, various product-related lawsuits were pending. To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these are insured with self-insurance retention levels. The company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business, and have fluctuated over the last five years. The range of the company’s self-insured retention levels is $0.1 million to $3.0 million per occurrence. The high-end of the company’s self-insurance retention level is for certain cranes manufactured in the United States for occurrences from January 2000 through October 2002.  As of September 30, 2008, the largest self-insured retention level currently maintained by the company is $2.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims for cranes manufactured in the United States.
 
Product liability reserves in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2008, were $34.1 million; $13.4 million was reserved specifically for actual cases and $20.7 million for claims incurred but not reported which were estimated using actuarial methods. Based on the company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.
 
At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the company had reserved $91.5 million and $91.2 million, respectively, for warranty claims included in product warranties and other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
13

 
Certain of these warranties and other related claims involve matters in dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiations, arbitration, or litigation.
 
It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental remediation, product liability and warranty costs may change in the near future based upon new information that may arise or matters that are beyond the scope of the company’s historical experience.
 
The company is involved in numerous lawsuits involving asbestos-related claims in which the company is one of numerous defendants. After taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, the current political environment with respect to asbestos related claims, and the liabilities accrued with respect to such matters, in the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the company.
 
The company is also involved in various legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, which, taking into account the liabilities accrued and legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
15. Guarantees
 
The company periodically enters into transactions with customers that provide for residual value guarantees and buyback commitments.  These transactions are recorded as operating leases for all significant residual value guarantees and for all buyback commitments.  These initial transactions are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period equal to that of the customer’s third party financing agreement.  The deferred revenue included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and non-current liabilities at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $102.0 million and $102.4 million, respectively.  The total amount of residual value guarantees and buyback commitments given by the company and outstanding at September 30, 2008 was $120.0 million.  This amount is not reduced for amounts the company would recover from repossessing and subsequent resale of the units.  The residual value guarantees and buyback commitments expire at various times through 2013.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the company sold $1.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of its long term notes receivable to third party financing companies.  The company guarantees some percentage, up to 100%, of collection of the notes to the financing companies. The company has accounted for the sales of the notes as a financing of receivables.  The receivables remain on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of payments made, in other current and non-current assets and the company has recognized an obligation equal to the net outstanding balance of the notes in other current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The cash flow benefit of these transactions, net of payments made by the customer, are reflected as financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the customers have paid $5.8 million of the notes to the third party financing companies.  As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of the notes receivables guaranteed by the company was $13.9 million.
 
In the normal course of business, the company provides its customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the company. Such warranty generally provides that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 6 months to 60 months. If a product fails to comply with the company’s warranty, the company may be obligated, at its expense, to correct any defect by repairing or replacing such defective products. The company provides for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its warranty at the time product revenue is recognized. These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement. The primary factors that affect the company’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped and historical and anticipated warranty claims. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.  Below is a table summarizing the warranty activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

 	 	2008	 	2007

16. Employee Benefit Plans
 
The company provides certain pension, health care and death benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents.  The pension benefits are funded, while the health care and death benefits are not funded but are paid as incurred.  Eligibility for coverage is based on meeting certain years of service and retirement qualifications.  These benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions, and other limitations.  The company has reserved the right to modify these benefits.
 
The components of periodic benefit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

The three U.S. pension plans had benefit accruals frozen during 2003.  Effective January 1, 2007, the company merged all U.S. pension plans together and made a contribution of $27.2 million that is expected to fully fund the ongoing pension liability.  The company also changed its investment policy to more closely align the interest rate sensitivity of its pension assets with the corresponding liabilities.  The resulting asset allocation is approximately 10% equities and 90% fixed

income.  This funding and change in allocation removed a significant portion of the U.S. pension’s volatility arising from unpredictable changes in interest rates and the equity markets.  This decision will protect the company’s balance sheet as well as support its goal of minimizing unexpected future pension cash contributions based upon the new provisions of the Pension Protection Act and protect our employees’ benefits.
 
During the second quarter of 2007, the company made a $15.1 million pension contribution to its U.K. defined benefit pension plan.  The $15.1 million contribution funded the defined benefit plan as well as paid an incentive to certain pensioners to transfer from the defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan.  As a result of this payment, the company recorded a charge during the second quarter of 2007 of approximately $3.8 million to reflect the incentive given to the pensioners and expenses incurred.  This charge is recorded in pension settlements in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.  Subsequent to the funding of the defined benefit pension plan, approximately $39.2 million of assets and related liabilities were transferred from the defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution pension plan.
 
During the second quarter of 2007, the company recorded a charge of $1.4 million related to a withdraw liability from a multiemployer pension plan at its former River Falls, Wisconsin facility.  During the third quarter of 2005, the company closed its Kolpak operation located in River Falls, Wisconsin and consolidated it with its operation in Tennessee.  The $1.4 million represents the estimated payment the company will make to the multiemployer pension plan for its former union employees at the closed facility.  This charge is recorded in pension settlements in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
17. Sale of Parts Line
 
On April 3, 2007, the company sold all of its aftermarket replacement parts and rights to manufacture, sell and service aftermarket replacement parts for all the models of the Grove Manlift aerial work platform product line around the world, to MinnPar LLC.  The company received $4.9 million in proceeds and recognized a gain of $3.3 million, which is recorded in gain on sale of parts line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
18. Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: 1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and 3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The company is currently evaluating the impact on disclosures of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest.  It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.  SFAS 160 also provides guidance when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations “,which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:  (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141(R) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled.  SFAS 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs to be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition.  SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.  SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”).  A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.  SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as the company did not elect the fair value option for any of such eligible financial assets or financial liabilities as of March 31, 2008.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value. SFAS 157 also expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FAS 157 and FSP 157-2 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have elected a partial deferral of SFAS 157 under the provisions of FSP 157-2 related to the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment and valuing asset retirement obligations and liabilities for exit or disposal activities. The impact of partially adopting SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

19. Subsidiary Guarantors of Senior Notes due 2013
 
The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for (a) The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (Parent); (b) the guarantors of the Senior Notes due 2013, which include substantially all of the domestic wholly owned subsidiaries of the company (Subsidiary Guarantors); and (c) the wholly and partially owned foreign subsidiaries of the company, which do not guarantee the Senior Notes due 2013 (Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries).  Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally liable under the guarantees, and 100% owned by the company.  On August 1, 2007, the company redeemed its 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012, the guarantors of which were substantially the same as the guarantors of the Senior Notes due 2013.

As a result of the decision to sell the Marine segment, the company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying notes and other information provided in this Form 10-Q reflect the Marine segment as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

On October 27, 2008, the company completed the previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Enodis plc (“Enodis”) from the existing shareholders of Enodis for cash of 328 pence per share.  Enodis is a global leader in the design and manufacture of innovative equipment for the commercial foodservice industry.  The Acquisition was valued at approximately $2.7 billion, including the assumption of Enodis’ net debt, and was funded by loan facilities made available to the company under its Amended and Restated New Credit Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2008, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Syndication Agents, and BNP Paribas, as Documentation Agent, as amended.  The initial funding date for the Acquisition was November 6, 2008.  A total of $175.0 million was drawn from the $400.0 million revolving facility of the New Credit Agreement to fund the transaction.  In addition, a total of $2,525.0 million was drawn under the term loan facilities of the New Credit Agreement to fund the transaction which represents the total amount available under these facilities.

The following table presents net sales by business segment (in millions):

 	 	Three Months Ended	 	Nine Months Ended	 	
 	 	September 30,	 	September 30,	 	
 	 	2008	 	2007	 	2008	 	2007	 	
Net sales:	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Cranes and Related Products	 	$	991.0	 	$	812.3	 	$	2,939.2	 	$	2,300.2	 	
Foodservice Equipment	 	115.8	 	112.9	 	347.2	 	337.9	 	
Total net sales	 	$	1,106.8	 	$	925.2	 	$	3,286.4	 	$	2,638.1	 	
 
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased 19.6% to $1.1 billion, from $925.2 million for the same period in 2007.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 sales increased 24.6% to $3.3 billion versus sales of $2.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increases in sales were driven mainly by our Crane segment.
 
Net sales from the Crane segment for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased 22.0% to $991.0 million versus $812.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 sales increased 27.8% to $2.9 billion versus $2.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  Net sales for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased over the same periods in the prior year in all major geographic regions despite the ongoing softness in some residential and commercial construction markets, as well as challenges in customer and project financing.  From a product-line standpoint, the higher sales were driven by increased volume of crawler, tower, and mobile hydraulic cranes worldwide and increases in our aftermarket sales and service business.  Crane sales also benefited from product pricing increases in 2008 versus 2007.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 versus the same periods in 2007, the stronger Euro currency compared to the U.S. Dollar had a favorable impact on sales of  approximately $43.6 million and $170.7 million, respectively.  As of September 30, 2008, total Crane segment backlog was $3.3 billion, a 5.4% decrease over the June 30, 2008 backlog of $3.5 billion and a 15.8% increase over the December 31, 2007 backlog of $2.9 billion.   The solid backlog reflects the increased international activity, the pay back of our innovation strategy, and the success of our new products in the marketplace.  The drop in backlog for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, reflected slowing demand for tower cranes in Europe, and a delay in opening the 2009 and 2010 customer order book until material price forecasts and customer pricing arrangements can be finalized.  Demand has also softened in China which was expected due to the pause in construction projects after the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
 
Net sales from the Foodservice segment increased 2.6% to $115.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus $112.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The sales increase during the quarter was a result of higher sales for ice and beverage products despite the fact that the weak global economy is negatively impacting the growth of new restaurant and commercial foodservice facilities worldwide.  The 2008 quarter benefited from strong sales from global markets and from a weak third quarter in 2007 as a result of a slowing ice market.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Foodservice segment sales of $347.2 million increased 2.8% over the same period in 2007.  The sales increase during the nine months versus the prior year was driven by higher product volume, strong sales from global markets, and pricing increases.  Despite the challenging environment, the company increased its market share across several product lines and will continue to aggressively pursue potential sales opportunities.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $243.7 million, an increase of $31.9 million over the $211.8 million of consolidated gross profit for the same period in 2007.  Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $773.6 million, an increase of $151.6 million over the $622.0 million of consolidated gross profit for the same period in 2007.  These increases were driven by significantly higher gross profit in the Crane segment.  The three and nine month increases in the Crane segment were due to increased sales volumes, factory productivity gains, favorable impact of price increases, and favorable translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 versus the same periods in 2007, the stronger Euro currency compared to the U.S. Dollar had a favorable impact on gross profit of approximately $7.5 million and $32.5 million, respectively.  The gross profit increases from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to last year, were partially offset by unfavorable material cost increases.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Foodservice segment gross profit declined approximately $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, versus the same periods last year.  The decreases in the Foodservice segment were primarily the result of material price increases and higher warranty expenses.
 
Engineering, selling and administrative (ES&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2008 increased approximately $5.9 million to $98.7 million versus $92.8 million for the third quarter of 2007.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, ES&A was $317.3 million, which was a $41.4 million increase over ES&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  This increase was primarily driven by the Crane segment due to higher employee related costs, increased research and development costs, expenses for product support call centers, and higher sales and marketing expenses due to increased sales efforts in emerging markets.  ES&A expenses were also higher due to the impact of the stronger Euro currency to the U.S. Dollar currency and to higher corporate expenses primarily due to higher employee-related costs.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Crane segment reported operating earnings of $137.1 million compared to $111.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Crane segment reported operating earnings of $435.6 million compared to $326.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  Operating earnings of the Crane segment were favorably affected by increased volume across all regions, impact of price increases, product cost reductions, and the positive translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  These increases were partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher ES&A related costs.  Operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 13.8% versus 13.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  Volume and favorable mix, effective leveraging of fixed costs and ES&A expenses on higher sales volume, and favorable pricing levels in all our regions contributed to the margin improvement.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Foodservice segment reported operating earnings of $18.3 million compared to $17.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Foodservice segment reported operating earnings of $53.1 million compared to $50.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increases in operating earnings for the quarter and nine month period was the result of increased pricing, product cost reductions, and tightly controlled ES&A expenses.  These increases were partially offset by higher raw material costs.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, corporate expenses were $12.4 million compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, corporate expenses were $37.9
 
28

 
million compared to $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  These increases are the result of higher employee-related costs and other professional services expenses.
 
The company is engaged in a number of integration activities associated with the Enodis acquisition.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, integration expenses were approximately $1.6 million.  Integration expenses include only costs directly associated with the integration such as costs related to outside vendors or services, costs of employees who have been assigned full-time to integration activities, and travel related expenses.
 
Restructuring expenses relate to costs associated with ceasing operations for two U.K. facilities in the Crane segment and centralizing its activities in a new sales, administration, and customer service office located close to Buckingham, Buckinghamshire.   The new facility is an important step in continuing the company’s expansion in the U.K. and support for the company’s presence in the U.K. and Ireland.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, restructuring expenses were approximately $0.8 million.
 
On April 3, 2007, we sold all of our aftermarket replacement parts and rights to manufacture, sell and service aftermarket replacement parts for all the models of the Grove Manlift aerial work platform product line around the world to MinnPar LLC (MinnPar).  We received $4.9 million in proceeds and recognized a gain of $3.3 million, which is recorded in gain on sale of parts line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
During the second quarter of 2007, we made a $15.1 million pension contribution to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan.  The $15.1 million contribution funded the defined benefit plan as well as paid an incentive to certain pensioners to transfer from the defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan.  As a result of this payment, the company recorded a charge during the second quarter of 2007 of approximately $3.8 million to reflect the incentive given to the pensioners and expenses incurred.  This charge is recorded in pension settlements in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  Subsequent to the funding of the defined benefit pension plan, approximately $39.2 million of assets and related liabilities were transferred from the defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution pension plan.
 
During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a charge of $1.4 million related to a withdraw liability from a multiemployer pension plan at our former River Falls, Wisconsin facility.  During the third quarter of 2005, we closed our Kolpak operation located in River Falls, Wisconsin and consolidated it with our operation in Tennessee.  The $1.4 million represents the estimated payment we will make to the multiemployer pension plan for our former union employees at the closed facility.  This charge is recorded in pension settlements in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Analysis of Non-Operating Income Statement Items
 
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2008 was $7.5 million versus $8.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease resulted from the redemption of the 10 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2012 during August of 2007.
 
During July 2008, the Company entered into various hedging transactions (the “hedges”) to comply with the terms of its New Credit Agreement (see further detail related to the New Credit Agreement at Note 8, “Debt”) issued to fund the purchase of Enodis plc (“Enodis”).  The hedges were required to limit the company’s exposure to fluctuations in the underlying purchase price of the Enodis shares which could have ultimately required additional funding capacity under the New Credit Agreement.  Subsequent to entering into the hedging transactions, the U.S. Dollar strengthened against the British Pound which resulted in a significant change to the fair value of the underlying hedges.   FAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” states that hedges of a firm commitment to acquire a business do not qualify for hedge accounting (or balance sheet) treatment.  Therefore, the periodic market value changes in these hedges are required to go through the income statement.  Additionally, the hedge accounting treatment will lower the initial amount of goodwill booked for the purchase by the amount of the loss on currency hedges.  The final disposition of these hedge positions will be determined based upon the market exchange rate on the date the funding transaction is completed.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, loss on currency hedges related to the purchase of Enodis was $198.4 million.  The acquisition price of Enodis, in U.S. Dollars, has decreased by a similar amount from the point in time in which the hedges were entered into.  Accordingly, the goodwill that will be recorded when the acquisition is finalized will be lower than it would have been if the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the British Pound had not changed from the time the hedges were entered into.
 
Other income, net for the first nine months of 2008 was $5.3 million versus $4.4 million for the same period ended September 30, 2007.  This increase is primarily the result of an increase in interest income as a result of higher cash
 
29

 
balances during the first nine months of 2008 versus the same period last year.  This result was partially offset by foreign currency losses reflecting a stronger U.S. Dollar against Chinese and Australian currencies and its effect on net monetary assets that are denominated in those currencies.
 
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were 43.4% and 23.9%, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were 26.4% and 27.3%, respectively.  The loss on the currency hedges drove a significant decrease in U.S. pre-tax income, and consequently a change in the mix between U.S. and foreign source pre-tax income.  Because the foreign effective tax rate is less than the U.S. effective tax rate, there is a decrease in the projected annual overall effective tax rate.   During the quarter, the company recognized a loss from continuing operations.  Therefore, an income tax benefit was recorded.  The benefit recorded during the quarter was favorably impacted by the effect of reduction in the overall effective tax rate as previously described.  The rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was favorably impacted by a foreign tax credit carryforward which was recognized during the quarter.  In addition, all periods were favorably affected, as compared to the statutory rate, to varying degrees by certain global tax planning initiatives.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, a minority interest loss of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, was recorded in relation to our 50% joint venture with the shareholders of TaiAn Dongyue.  See further detail related to the joint venture at Note 2, “Acquisitions.”
 
On August 1, 2008, the company signed a definitive purchase agreement to sell the ownership interests of its Marine segment to Fincantieri Marine Group Holdings Inc, a subsidiary of Fincantieri-Cantieri Navali Italiani, S.p.A. (“Fincantieri”).  This transaction will allow the company to focus its financial assets and managerial resources on the growth of its increasingly global crane and foodservice businesses.  The Company is reporting the Marine segment as a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes as of September 30, 2008, and for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  Results of the Marine segment in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued in the Consolidated Financial Statements to exclude the results from continuing operations.  See further detail related to the Marine segment at Note 3, “Discontinued Operations.”
 
The following selected financial data of the Marine segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the businesses operated as a stand-alone entity.  There were no general corporate expenses or interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for these businesses during the periods presented.

Financial Condition
 
First Nine Months of 2008
 
Cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 30, 2008 totaled $382.0 million, which was an increase of $12.6 million from the December 31, 2007 balance of $369.4 million.  Cash flow provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the first nine months of 2008 was $112.9 million compared to $18.5 million for the first nine months of 2007.  During the first nine months of 2008, the cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations primarily benefited from $210.4 million of net earnings, the unrealized loss on currency hedges of $205.2 million and a non-cash adjustment for depreciation expense of $62.2 million.  Cash flow was negatively impacted by an increase in inventory of $257.5 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $68.0 million, and a non-cash adjustment for discontinued operations earnings of $31.7 million.  The increase in inventory was due to the increase in production to support higher sales volumes

and higher backlog levels in the Crane segment.  In addition, supplier constraints have negatively impacted production throughput resulting in higher Crane segment inventories.  The increase in accounts receivable was driven primarily by an increase in the Crane segment sales volumes.   During the first nine months of 2008 we made tax payments of approximately $96.3 million versus $103.8 million during the first nine months of 2007.
 
On March 6, 2008, the company formed a 50% joint venture with the shareholders of TaiAn Dongyue for the production of mobile and truck-mounted hydraulic cranes.  The cash flow impact of this acquisition is included in business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, within the cash flow from investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  See further detail related to the joint venture at Note 2, “Acquisitions.”
 
Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2008 were $94.0 million versus $52.4 million during the first nine months of 2007.  The majority of the capital expenditures are related to capacity expansion projects and ERP implementation costs for the Crane segment and ERP costs for the Foodservice segment.
 
First Nine Months of 2007
 
Cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 30, 2007 were $103.8 million, which was a reduction of $69.9 million from the December 31, 2006 balance of $173.7 million.  Cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 2007 was $29.5 million compared to $128.9 million for the first nine months of 2006.  During the first nine months of 2007 inventories and accounts receivable increased by $148.0 million and $123.1 million, respectively.  This is primarily due to increased production and sales in the Crane segment.  In addition, during the first nine months of 2007 we made pension payments totaling $42.3 million to our U.S. and U.K. pension plans and tax payments of approximately $103.8 million.
 
On January 3, 2007, we acquired the Carrydeck line of mobile industrial cranes from Marine Travelift, Inc. of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.  The cash flow impact of this acquisition is included in business acquisition, net of cash acquired, within the cash flow from investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
 
On July 19, 2007, we acquired Shirke Construction Equipments Pvt. Ltd (Shirke).  Headquartered in Pune, India, Shirke is a market leader in the Indian tower crane industry and has been Potain’s Indian manufacturing partner and distributor since 1982. The cash flow impact of this acquisition is included in business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, within the cash flow from investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
 
On April 3, 2007, we sold all of our aftermarket replacement parts and rights to manufacture, sell and service aftermarket replacement parts for all the models of the Grove Manlift aerial work platform product line around the world to MinnPar, LLC. We received $4.9 million in proceeds from this transaction. The cash flow impact of this sale is included in proceeds from sale of parts line within the investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
 
Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2007 were $52.4 million versus $35.9 million during the first nine months of 2006.  In the third quarter of 2007 we reached an agreement with Valcovna profilov a.s. for the development of a crane manufacturing facility in Saris, Slovakia. Capital expenditures in 2007 are also related to other facility expansions, machinery and tooling for our three segments.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2007 we entered into agreements with a major software and systems supplier and a related consulting firm to purchase software and consulting services to implement an ERP system in our Crane segment.  Through the third quarter of 2007, capital expenditures on the ERP system were not significant.
 
On August 1, 2007, we redeemed our 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we paid the note holders 105.25 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The total cash payment for the redemption was $129.6 million As a result of this redemption, we incurred a charge of $12.5 million ($8.1 million net of income taxes) related to the call premium, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our outstanding debt at September 30, 2008 consisted of $44.1 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, $150.0 million of 7 1/8% senior notes due 2013 (Senior Notes due 2013), and $53.0 million of other debt and capital leases.

On August 1, 2007, we redeemed our 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we paid the note holders 105.25% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The total cash payment for the redemption was $129.6 million.  As a result of this redemption, we incurred a charge of $12.5 million ($8.1 million net of income taxes) related to the call premium, the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
Our Revolving Credit Facility, governed by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2006, (as amended), has $300 million of initial borrowing capacity and provides us the ability to increase the capacity by an additional $250 million during the life of the facility under the same terms.  Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, which is based on our consolidated total leverage ratio as defined by the Credit Agreement. The annual commitment fee in effect at September 30, 2008 on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.15%.  As of September 30, 2008, we had $44.1 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.57%.  In addition to the outstanding borrowings, the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is also reduced for outstanding letters of credit of $2.2 million as of September 30, 2008.
 
The Senior Notes due 2013 are unsecured senior obligations ranking equal with our indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility, except that the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of the company and its subsidiaries.  Interest on the Senior Notes due 2013 is payable semiannually in May and November of each year.  The Senior Notes due 2013 can be redeemed by us in whole or in part for a premium on or after November 1, 2008.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we also had outstanding $53.0 million of other indebtedness with a weighted-average interest rate of 7.0%. This debt includes outstanding bank overdrafts in Asia and Europe, swaps, and various capital leases.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had two fixed-to-floating rate swap contracts which effectively converted $50.0 million of our fixed rate Senior Notes due 2013 to variable rate debt.  Under these swap agreements, we contract with a counter-party to exchange the difference between a floating rate and the fixed rate applied to $50.0 million of our Senior Notes due 2013.  These contracts are considered to be a hedge against changes in the fair value of the fixed-rate obligations.  Accordingly, these interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2008 as an asset of $0.3 million, and the related debt is reflected at an amount equal to the sum of its carrying value plus an adjustment representing the change in fair value of the debt obligation attributable to the interest rate risk being hedged.  Changes during any accounting period in the fair value of the interest rate swap contract, as well as the offsetting changes in the adjusted carrying value of the related portion of fixed-rate debt being hedged, are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The change in the fair value of the swaps exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged fixed-rate debt; therefore, there was no net impact on earnings from these swaps for the nine months ending September 30, 2008.
 
Our Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes due 2013 contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. In general, the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility are more restrictive than those of the Senior Notes due 2013. Among other restrictions, these covenants require us to meet specified financial tests, which include the following: consolidated interest coverage ratio; consolidated total leverage ratio; and consolidated senior leverage ratio. These covenants also limit, among other things, our ability to redeem or repurchase our debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, repurchase capital stock, and create or become subject to liens. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains cross-default provisions whereby certain defaults under any other debt agreements would result in default under the Revolving Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2008, and based upon our current plans and outlook, we believe we will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent 12 months.
 
We have entered into an accounts receivable securitization program whereby we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sells participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third-party financial institution (Purchaser). The Purchaser receives an ownership and security interest in the pool of receivables. New receivables are purchased by the special purpose subsidiary and participation interests are resold to the Purchaser as collections reduce previously sold participation interests. We have retained collection and administrative responsibilities on the participation interests sold. The Purchaser has no recourse against us for uncollectible receivables; however, our retained interest in the receivable pool is subordinate to the Purchaser’s interest and is recorded at fair value. Due to a short average collection cycle of less than 60 days for such accounts receivable and our collection history, the fair value of our retained interest approximates book value. The total capacity of this facility is
 
32

 
$105.0 million as of September 30, 2008. The accounts receivable balances sold from the special purpose subsidiary was $85.0 million at September 30, 2008. The retained interest recorded at September 30, 2008 is $81.3 million, and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
In April 2008, the company entered into a $2,400.0 million credit agreement which was amended and restated as of August 25, 2008 to ultimately increase the size of the total facility to $2,925.0 million (New Credit Agreement).  The New Credit Agreement became effective on the effective date of the acquisition (see further detail related to the acquisition in Note 21, “Subsequent Events”) or, in the case of a takeover offer, the date on which the takeover offer has become or is declared unconditional in all respects.  Until such time as the company borrows under the New Credit Agreement, the company’s existing $300.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2006, will remain in effect.
 
The New Credit Agreement includes four loan facilities – a revolving facility of $400.0 million with a five-year term, a Term Loan A of $1,025.0 million with a five-year term, a Term Loan B of $1,200.0 million with a six-year term, and a Term Loan X of $300.0 million with an eighteen-month term.  The company is obligated to prepay the three term loan facilities from the net proceeds of asset sales, casualty losses, equity offerings, and new indebtedness for borrowed money, and from a portion of its excess cash flow, subject to certain exceptions.
 
Borrowings made under the revolving facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan X will initially bear interest at 3.25 percent in excess of an adjusted LIBOR rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement, or 1.50 percent in excess of an alternate base rate, at the company’s option.  Borrowings made under the Term Loan B will initially bear interest at 3.50 percent in excess of an adjusted LIBOR rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement, or 1.50 percent in excess of an alternate base rate, at the company’s option.  The company will also pay a commitment fee of 0.50 percent per annum for the first 120 days, and 0.75 percent per annum after the 120th day on the entire facility balance up to the date of funding; upon funding, the commitment fee will reduce to apply only to the revolving commitment and will be 0.50 percent per year.  As of September 30, 2008, the company incurred $17.6 million in deferred financing expenses.  The cash flow impact of these fees is included in cash flow used for financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008.
 
Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: 1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and 3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The company is currently evaluating the impact on disclosures of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest.  It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.  SFAS 160 also provides guidance when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,

beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations “,which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:  (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141(R) requires contingent consideration to be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings until settled.  SFAS 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs to be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition.  SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.  SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”).  A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.  SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as the company did not elect the fair value option for any of such eligible financial assets or financial liabilities as of March 31, 2008.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value. SFAS 157 also expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FAS 157 and FSP 157-2 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have elected a partial deferral of SFAS 157 under the provisions of FSP 157-2 related to the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment and valuing asset retirement obligations and liabilities for exit or disposal activities. The impact of partially adopting SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cautionary Statements About Forward-Looking Information
 
Statements in this report and in other company communications that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, which are based upon our current expectations.  These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what appears within this annual report.
 
Forward-looking statements include descriptions of plans and objectives for future operations, and the assumptions behind those plans.  The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “targets” and “expects,” or similar expressions, usually identify forward-looking statements.  Any and all projections of future performance are forward-looking statements.
 
In addition to the assumptions, uncertainties, and other information referred to specifically in the forward-looking statements, a number of factors relating to each business segment could cause actual results to be significantly different from what is presented in this annual report.  Those factors include, without limitation, the following:
 
34

 
Crane—market acceptance of new and innovative products; cyclicality of the construction industry; the effects of government spending on construction-related projects throughout the world; unanticipated changes in global demand for high-capacity lifting equipment; the replacement cycle of technologically obsolete cranes; and demand for used equipment.

Marine—shipping volume fluctuations based on performance of the steel industry; weather and water levels on the Great Lakes; trends in government spending on new vessels; five-year survey schedule; the replacement cycle of older marine vessels; growth of existing marine fleets; consolidation of the Great Lakes marine industry; frequency of casualties on the Great Lakes; the level of construction and industrial maintenance; government approval and funding of projects; ability of our customers to obtain financing; award of military and commercial ship and barge construction contracts; and in connection with the previously announced sale of the Marine segment, the anticipated tax gain, the expected timing and conditions precedent, unanticipated issues associated with the satisfaction of conditions precedent and obtaining regulatory approvals, the terms and conditions of any regulatory approvals, anticipated earnings impact, and estimated costs to be incurred in completing the proposed sale.
 
Corporate (including factors that may affect more than one of the three segments)— changes in laws and regulations throughout the world; the ability to finance, complete and/or successfully integrate, restructure and consolidate acquisitions, divestitures, strategic alliances and joint ventures; issues related to new facilities and expansions or consolidation of existing facilities; efficiencies and capacity utilization of facilities; competitive pricing; availability of certain raw materials; changes in raw materials and commodity prices; issues associated with new product introductions; matters impacting the successful and timely implementation of ERP systems; changes in domestic and international economic and industry conditions, including steel industry conditions; changes in the markets served by the company (including Enodis); unexpected issues associated with the availability of local suppliers and skilled labor; changes in the interest rate environment; risks associated with growth; foreign currency fluctuations and their impact on hedges in place with Manitowoc; world-wide political risk; geographic factors and economic risks; health epidemics; pressure of additional financing leverage resulting from acquisitions; success in increasing manufacturing efficiencies and capacities; unanticipated changes in revenue, margins, costs and capital expenditures; work stoppages, labor negotiations and rates; actions of competitors; unanticipated changes in consumer spending; the ability of our customers to obtain financing; the state of financial and credit markets; and unanticipated changes in customer demand.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures:   The company’s management, with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:   Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).

(c)           The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate, and such amount of Swingline Loans, if denominated in Foreign Currency, shall be converted to Dollars and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate (or such lower rate to which the Borrower and Swingline Lender may agree). Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including 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. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, 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 Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender in writing, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default is continuing.

Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. 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 Borrower to, or entered into by the Applicable Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
 
(b)           Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions . To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (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 (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying which of the Borrowers shall be the account party with respect thereto, 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 Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Alternate Currency Loans denominated in Foreign Currency shall not exceed $300,000,000; (iv) the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of all LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of Subsidiary Borrowers shall not exceed $100,000,000; and (v) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure associated with the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed $75,000,000 without the consent of such Issuing Bank.
 
(c)           Expiration Date . Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.
 
(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 Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in
 
46

 
paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Applicable Borrower for any reason. Each 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 Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, such amount, if denominated in Foreign Currency, shall be converted to Dollars and shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(h) and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolver Percentage of the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower, 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 Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that 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 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 Applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
 
(f)          Obligations Absolute . The Applicable Borrower’s 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
 
47

 
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 set-off against, the Applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the 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 Applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Applicable 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 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 Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) 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 Applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
 
(h)         Interim Interest . If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Applicable Borrower 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 Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(d) 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 Lender pursuant to
 
48

 
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 an Issuing Bank . An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(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 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 receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any 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 the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s 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 Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is 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 Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
 
(k)          Existing Letters of Credit . On the Initial Borrowing Date each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder on such date and
 
49

 
governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.06(d)).
 
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 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Alternate Currency Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04 and Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Applicable Borrower or, in the case of Subsidiary Borrowers or Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, in another account, in each case as designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request and acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.
 
(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 Applicable Borrower 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, (x) 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 (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or (y) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of the Applicable Borrower, 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 and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower 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 Foreign Currency Borrowings or Swingline Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
 
50

 
(b)           To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and denominated in the Foreign Currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.
 
(c)           Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
 
(i)           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 Eurocurrency Borrowing; and
 
(iv)        if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower 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 fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period 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 (unless such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
 
51

 
SECTION 2.09.    Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments . (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. Unless previously terminated, the Term A Commitments shall terminate upon the earlier of the close of business (New York time) on November 10, 2008 (or, solely with respect to incremental Term A Commitments arising pursuant to Section 2.09(d), upon the making of the related incremental Term A Loans) and the date on which the aggregate amount of the Term A Borrowings made is equal to the Term A Commitment. Unless previously terminated, the Term B Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Term B Loans on the Initial Borrowing Date. Unless previously terminated, the Term X Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Term X Loans on the Initial Borrowing Date.
 
(b)         The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the 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 Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.
 
(c)          The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and 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 pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent 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 Revolving Commitments or Term Commitments, as applicable.
 
(d)         The Borrower may, at its option, on up to five occasions, seek to increase the Revolving Commitments and/or the Term A Commitments by up to an aggregate amount of $300,000,000 in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall (i) specify (a) the amount of any such increase and (b) whether such increase is in the Revolving Commitments, the Term A Commitments or a combination of any thereof, (ii) if any Indebtedness under the Senior Note Documents is then outstanding, certify that incurrence by the Borrower of Indebtedness under this Agreement in the full amount of the proposed increased Commitments is permitted by the Senior Note Documents, (iii) be delivered at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing and the Term X Loan has been repaid in full, and (iv) specify the effective date of any Revolving Commitments or Term A Commitments and the effective date of any incremental Term A Loans to be made pursuant thereto. The Borrower may, after giving such notice, offer the increase (which may be declined by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the Commitments on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other Lenders or entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No increase in the Commitments shall become effective
 
52

 
until the existing or new Lenders extending such incremental Revolving Commitments or Term A Commitments and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each such existing Lender states the amount of its Commitment or Loan increase, each such new Lender becomes a party hereto, states its Commitment or Loan amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Borrower accepts such incremental Commitments or Loans and certifies that on such date the conditions for a new Loan pursuant to Section 4.03 are satisfied. In the event of an increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, the Lenders with Revolving Commitments (new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments, and the existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall make an assignment to the new or existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments accepting a new or increased Revolving Credit Commitment, of an interest in each then outstanding Revolving Loan, Swingline Loan, Letter of Credit, LC Disbursement and Alternative Currency Loan such that, after giving effect thereto, all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Disbursements and Alternate Currency Loans are held ratably by the Lenders with Revolving Commitments in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and shall not be subject to the assignment fee set forth in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C). The Borrower shall make any payments under Section 2.17 resulting from such assignments. In the event of an increase in the Term A Commitments pursuant to this Section, each Lender accepting a portion of such increased Term A Commitments shall, on the effective date of the increase in such Term A Commitments, make a loan to the Borrower in the amount of its portion of such increase. Any such increase of the Revolving Commitments or Term A Commitments shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. From and after the making of an incremental Term A Loan or Revolving Loan pursuant to this Section, such Loan shall be deemed a “Term A Loan” or “Revolving Loan”, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes hereof, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as each other Term A Loan or Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Agreement.
 
SECTION 2.10.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt . (a) Each Applicable Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each of its Revolving Loans on the Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11, (iii) to the Alternate Currency Lenders, the then unpaid principal amount of each of its Alternate Currency Loans on the Revolving Maturity Date, and (iv) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (x) the Revolving Maturity Date and (y) a date that is no more than seven (7) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.
 
(b)           Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
 
53

 
(c)           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.
 
(d)         The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the 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.
 
(e)          Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after 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).
 
(f)          In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Loans in the amount of such excess.
 
(g)         The Administrative Agent will determine the aggregate LC Exposure and the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan (other than Term Loans) on each Exchange Rate Date. If at any time the sum of such amounts exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrower shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) immediately prepay the Loans (other than Term Loans) in the amount of such excess. To the extent that, after the prepayment of all Loans (other than Term Loans) an excess of the sum of such amounts over the aggregate Revolving Commitments still exists, the Borrower shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) promptly cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in the manner described in Section 2.06(j) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
 
SECTION 2.11.    Amortization of Term Loans . (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay Term A Borrowings on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter set forth below in the aggregate principal amount indicated (and in addition, to the extent that any incremental Term A Loans shall be made pursuant to Section 2.09(d), in an additional amount equal to the corresponding amount required to be amortized with respect to the other Term A Loans based on the initial aggregate principal amount of such incremental Term A Loans on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter from and including the calendar quarter immediately succeeding the calendar quarter in which such incremental Term A Loans are made):
 
54

 
(i)           on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter ending after the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs to and including the eighth such calendar quarter, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to 2.5% of the aggregate amount of the Term A Loan at the time the Term A Loan Commitment terminated;
 
(ii)          on the last Business Day of each of the ninth through sixteenth calendar quarters next following the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to 3.75% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loan at the time the Term A Loan Commitment terminated;
 
(iii)         on the last Business Day of each of the seventeenth through nineteenth calendar quarters next following the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to 12.5% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loan at the time the Term A Loan Commitment terminated; and
 
(iv)        on the Term A Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term A Loan.
 
(b)           Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay the Term B Loan on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter set forth below in the aggregate principal amount indicated:
 
(i)           on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter ending after the calendar quarter in which the Term End Date occurs, to and including the twenty third such calendar quarter, the Borrower shall make an aggregate payment equal to .25% of the initial aggregate amount of the Term B Loan; and
 
(ii)          on the Term B Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term B Loan.
 
(c)           The Borrower shall repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term X Loan in full on the Term X Maturity Date.

The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent any such evidence reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any commitment of any Borrower or any Subsidiary to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.12(c).
 
(d)         Following the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Borrower shall prepay the Term A Borrowings and Term B Borrowings ratably, in each case in an aggregate amount equal to (i) Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year multiplied by the Applicable Prepayment Percentage, less (ii) the amount of optional prepayments of principal under the Term Loans made during such fiscal year. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made before the date that is ten Business Days after the date on which financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 95 days after the end of such fiscal year).

(g)         In the event of any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Term B Loan made (or, in the event of mandatory prepayments, due) on or prior to the first anniversary of the Initial Borrowing Date, on the date of prepayment the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Term B Loan a prepayment premium in an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount prepaid.

The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
SECTION 2.15.       Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:
 
(A)           the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
 
(B)            the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) 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 and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and (ii) such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is requested to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lender of making or maintaining such Borrowing.
 
SECTION 2.16.       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 in payments required by Section 2.22) 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 Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein or in any Alternate Currency Loan;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or of participating in any Alternate Currency 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 Borrower 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 or Alternate Currency Loans 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 Borrower 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 in reasonable detail 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 and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall 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 Borrower 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 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
 
61

 
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 2.17.       Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency 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 deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
 
SECTION 2.18.       Taxes . (a) Subject to Section 2.18(h), any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any of 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 Applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(b)            In addition, the Applicable Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(c)            The Applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Applicable Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
 
62

 
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 in reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower 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 Applicable Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Applicable Borrower 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)            Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Applicable Borrower is regarded by the relevant Governmental Authority for purposes of its Tax laws as being resident, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
 
(f)             If the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank or a Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by one of the Borrowers or with respect to which one of the Borrowers has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over to the Applicable Borrower the amount of such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Applicable Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or such Lender (as the case may be) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Applicable Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be), agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Applicable Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender (as the case may be) in the event the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) 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 any of the Borrowers or any other Person.

If such a UK Tax Deduction is required by law, the amount of the payment due from the UK Borrower in question will be
 
63

 
increased by an amount which (after making all UK Tax Deductions) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no UK Tax Deduction been required.
 
(h)            Except as provided below, a UK Borrower is not required to make an increased payment under paragraph (g) above for a UK Tax Deduction:
 
(i)             if on the date on which the payment in respect of which the UK Tax Deduction is required falls due, the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a UK Tax Deduction if it was, or had not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not, or has ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender in respect of that UK Borrower;
 
(ii)            if the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the UK Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the UK Tax Deduction would not have been required if the Lender had complied with its obligations under paragraph 2.18(e) above; or
 
(iii)           If on the date on which the payment falls due:
 
(A)           the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely under sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of the definition of UK Lender;
 
(B)            an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked a direction) (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (as that provision has effect on the date on which the relevant Lender became a party to this Agreement) which relates to that payment and that Lender has received from that UK Borrower a certified copy of that Direction; and
 
(C)            the payment could have been made to the Lender with out any Tax Deduction in the absence of that Direction; or
 
(iv)           the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely under sub- paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of the definition of UK Lender and it has not, other than by reason of any change after the date of this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority, given a Tax Confirmation to the Borrowers.
 
(i)             Paragraph (h)(i) above will not apply if the relevant Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender in respect of that UK Borrower by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or treaty or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority.
 
(j)             If a UK Borrower is required to make a UK Tax Deduction, that UK Borrower must make the minimum UK Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that UK Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.
 
64

 
(k)            Within 30 days of making either a UK Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a UK Tax Deduction, the UK Borrower making that UK Tax Deduction or payment must deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to that Lender (acting reasonably) that the UK Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
 
(l)             If a Lender is expressed to be a UK Lender then it shall confirm to the Borrowers that it is a UK Lender by entering into this Agreement. A UK Lender must promptly notify the Borrower if it ceases to be a UK Lender.

SECTION 2.19.       Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs . (a) Each of the Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City 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, Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 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 of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations shall be made in the currency in which the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative
 
66

 
Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
 
(b)            If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
 
(c)            If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (i) any obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time) of payments on account of obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (ii) any obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time) of payments on account of obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Alternate Currency Loans and Swingline Loans of other Lenders, as applicable, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be; 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 any of 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, Alternate Currency Loans and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each of the Borrowers 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 Applicable
 
67

 
Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation.
 
(d)            Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Borrower 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 Applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has 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 Applicable Borrower has 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, (i) 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 (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars) and (ii) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in a Foreign Currency).
 
(e)            If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) or 9.03(c), 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 such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
 
SECTION 2.20.       Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders . (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, 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. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
(b)            If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender 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 Borrower 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
 
68

 
not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and 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 Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender 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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
 
(c)            If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02 (a “ Proposed Change ”) requiring the consent of all or all affected Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (c) being referred to as a “ Non-Consenting Lender ”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request and at its sole cost and expense, the Administrative Agent, or a Person or Persons reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Loans and Commitments of such Non- Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non- Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest, fees and other amounts with respect thereto through the date of the sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated at par pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption (with the Borrower or the assignee paying any applicable assignment fee). Any such required sale and assignment shall be treated as a prepayment for purposes of Section 2.17 and the Borrower shall be liable for any amounts payable thereunder as a result of such sale and assignment.
 
SECTION 2.21.       Subsidiary Borrowers .
 
(a)            The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiaries of the Borrower as a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least five Business Days before such designation is to take effect a Designation Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by the Borrower and such Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary, together with (i) the items described in paragraphs (h) and (i) of Section 4.01 of the Original Credit Agreement relating to such Subsidiary Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) such security agreements and similar documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to accomplish the pledge by such Subsidiary Borrower of substantially all of its assets (other than Real Property) and such immaterial assets as may be agreed upon between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to secure the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and under the Designation Letter, and (iii) such other documents and information (including information relating to “know your customer” rules and regulations) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Upon any such designation of a Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary and the consent of each of the Lenders, which will not be
 
69

 
unreasonably withheld, such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (with the related rights and obligations) and shall be entitled to request Revolving Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement; provided , however , that if the Borrower so indicates in the applicable Designation Letter, the Subsidiary Borrower may be entitled to request only Alternate Currency Loans, in which case such Subsidiary Borrower shall then be entitled to request Alternate Currency Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement and the consent to such designation of only the Administrative Agent and the applicable Alternate Currency Lenders shall be required.
 
(b)            So long as all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower and any related obligations have been paid in full, the Borrower may terminate the status of such Subsidiary Borrower as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a Termination Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by the Borrower and such Subsidiary. Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery or (ii) the obligations of the Borrower under the Parent Guaranty with respect to any such unpaid obligations.
 
(c)            BPGR and Manitowoc Asia Holdings as the initial Subsidiary Borrowers, hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of the second sentence of the third paragraph of the attached form of Designation Letter as if the same were fully set forth herein. The provisions of Section 2.21(a)(ii) shall not be applicable to such Subsidiary Borrowers. It is agreed that BPGR and Manitowoc Asia Holdings shall be entitled to request Alternate Currency Loans only and shall not be entitled to receive Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a).
 
SECTION 2.22.       Additional Reserve Costs . (a) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Cost Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Schedule 2.22 hereto.
 
(b)            For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserves or the Mandatory Cost Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans and Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.
 
70

 
(c)            Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be determined in reasonable detail by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.01, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (except, with respect to Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, where the failure to be in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of incorporation could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect), has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.
 
SECTION 3.02.       Authorization; Enforceability . The Transactions are within the Credit Parties’ corporate or limited liability company or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder or similar action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
 
SECTION 3.03.       Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts . The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect (or, in the case of the Acquisition, shall have been obtained or made prior to the Initial Borrowing Date), (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under (i) the Senior Note Documents or (ii) any other indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, other than (in the case of such other indentures, agreements or instruments referred to in clause (ii)) such violations or defaults which could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its
 
71

 
Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Permitted Liens.

All Real Property having a fair market value in excess of $5,000,000 owned by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors as of the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule 3.05. Schedule 3.05 also sets forth (i) the locations of all leased Real Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor where equipment and/or inventory having a fair market value in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate (as determined at any time during the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters) is held as of the Effective Date, and (ii) the locations where such equipment and/or inventory is held pursuant to bailment arrangements as of the Effective Date.
 
(b)            Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
SECTION 3.06.       Litigation and Environmental Matters . (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve the Credit Documents or the Transactions.
 
(b)            Except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.
 
SECTION 3.08.       Investment Company Status . Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.
 
SECTION 3.09.       Taxes . Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed (including the filing of extensions in respect thereof) and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
SECTION 3.10.       ERISA; Foreign Pension Plans . (a) 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. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements prior to the Effective Date reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements prior to the Effective Date reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.
 
(b)            Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and in substantial compliance with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year prior to the Effective Date on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed by more than $20,000,000 the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.
 
73

 
(c)            To the Borrower’s knowledge, (i) there are no grounds to suspect that the Pensions Regulator would have the power to issue a Financial Support Direction or a Contribution Notice to any member of the Target Group as a result of the consummation of the Acquisition or the Transactions or, if the Pensions Regulator had such a power, it would not be reasonable for it to exercise such a power, in each case with respect to any of the UK defined benefit pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of members of the Target Group; and (ii) there is no requirement (and no requirement will arise) to notify, or, in consequence of (i) above, the Borrower does not consider it necessary to seek any clearance from, the Pensions Regulator as a result of the consummation of the Acquisition or the Transactions. Under the terms of the UK defined benefit pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of members of the Target Group, the pension trustees do not have the power to unilaterally wind up those schemes or to unilaterally increase the contributions required to be made by the members of the Target Group.
 
SECTION 3.11.       Disclosure . The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.
 
SECTION 3.12.       The Security Documents . (a) The provisions of the Security Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the US Security Agreement Collateral and UK Security Agreement Collateral described therein, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, will have, upon its taking all actions required of it under the UCC, a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest in all of the US Security Agreement Collateral described therein (to the extent that such security interest can be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement or, to the extent required by the US Security Agreement, by taking possession of (or taking certain other actions with respect to) the respective US Security Agreement Collateral), subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. In addition, the recordation of (x) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Patents and (y) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Trademarks in the respective forms attached to the US Security Agreement, in each case in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, together with UCC filings made pursuant to the US Security Agreement, will create, as may be perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States trademarks and patents covered by the US Security Agreement, and the recordation of the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Copyrights in the form attached to the US Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office, together with UCC filings made pursuant to the US Security Agreement, will create, as may be perfected by such filings
 
74

 
and recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States copyrights covered by the US Security Agreement.
 
(b)            The security interests created in favor of the Collateral Agent, as pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, under the US Pledge Agreement constitute perfected security interests in the US Pledge Agreement Collateral described in the US Pledge Agreement, subject to no security interests of any other Person. No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security interests created in the US Pledge Agreement Collateral under the US Pledge Agreement other than with respect to that portion of the US Pledge Agreement Collateral constituting a “general intangible” under the UCC.
 
SECTION 3.13.       Subsidiaries . As of the Effective Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3.13. Schedule 3.13 correctly sets forth, as of the Effective Date, (i) the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of the Borrower in each class of capital stock or other equity of its Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof, and (ii) the jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary which was, as of the Effective Date, a Material Subsidiary is identified as such on Schedule 3.13.
 
SECTION 3.14.       Indebtedness . Schedule 6.01 sets forth a true and complete list of all Indebtedness (including Guarantees (other than Guarantees otherwise permitted under Section 6.01)) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Borrower, the Target Group as of the Effective Date and which is to remain outstanding after giving effect to the Transactions (excluding the Loans and the Letters of Credit), in each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof and the name of the respective borrower and any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries (and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any member of the Target Group) which directly or indirectly guarantees such debt.
 
SECTION 3.15.       Insurance . Schedule 3.15 sets forth a true and complete listing of all insurance maintained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date, with the amounts insured (and any deductibles) set forth therein.
 
SECTION 3.16.       Regulation U . Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder. Neither the making of any Loan or issuance of any Letters of Credit hereunder, the use of the proceeds thereof, nor any other aspect of the financing of the Acquisition, will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
 
SECTION 3.17.       Solvency . On the Initial Borrowing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Transaction Documents and the payment of all fees, costs and expenses payable by the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Transaction Documents, (a) on a going concern basis the fair market value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a
 
75

 
consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts or other liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course, (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course, and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Initial Borrowing Date. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual and matured liability.

(c)          Without limiting the provisions of Sections 5.10(c) or 5.13, the Borrower agrees that within 60 days after the Initial Borrowing Date (and periodically thereafter as the Administrative Agent may request) it will identify to the Administrative Agent by written notice each Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower which may (i) become a guarantor of some or all of the Obligations, (ii) have 65% or more of its Equity Interests pledged to secure some or all of the Obligations or (iii) pledge its assets to secure some or all of the Obligations (each of the foregoing being “Credit Support”), in each case (A) without having an adverse tax or other financial consequence to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any material respect, (B) solely to the extent any of the foregoing actions could not reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to the directors of such Foreign Subsidiary and (C) solely to the extent any of the foregoing actions are not otherwise prohibited by applicable law (any of the actions described in (i) – (iii) above which do not have any of the consequences described in (A) – (C) above being “Permitted Credit Support”). Such notice shall not be required to identify Foreign Subsidiaries already providing Credit Support which are not required to provide incremental Credit Support pursuant to this section.
 
(d)         Within 30 days after the delivery of such notice pursuant to Section 5.13(c) (or such longer period to which the Administrative Agent may agree) the Borrower will cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (or the Subsidiary which is the holder of Equity Interests therein, as applicable) to provide the applicable Permitted Credit Support pursuant to such documentation (including certificates and opinions of counsel) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (which documentation shall provide equal and ratable credit support for Swap Agreements and Banking Product Agreements (as defined in the US Security Agreement) to the same extent as provided in the US Security Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Lien shall be taken pursuant to this Section 5.13(d) in any assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax, title insurance or similar items or the cost of the Whitewash procedure)
 
88

 
is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby or in real estate.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder 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 are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrowers 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)                                  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (it being understood that an amendment or waiver extending the Certain Funds Period shall not be deemed to constitute such a postponement) or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender or change Section 2.09(c) in a manner which would alter the pro-rata sharing of Commitment reductions without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof (including Sections 4.02(h)(iv) and 5.15) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, release the Borrower from the Parent Guaranty or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, except in connection with the sale of a Subsidiary Guarantor permitted under this Agreement, without the written consent of each
 
117

 
Lender, (vii) except as permitted by the terms hereof on the date hereof, change the currency of any Loan or the currency in which any Commitment is required to be funded without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby or (viii) alter the amount or the application of any prepayment required by Section 2.12 without the consent of Lenders holding at least 50.1% of the Term Loans and/or Term Commitments, as applicable, affected thereby; provided   further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender, the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender, the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Section 2.09(d) to be delivered in connection with an increase to the total Commitments, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the new or existing Lenders whose Commitments have been affected may and shall enter into an amendment hereof (which shall be binding on all parties hereto and the new Lenders) solely for the purpose of reflecting any new Lenders and their new Commitments and any increase in the Commitment of any existing Lender, (ii) no consent of any Credit Party (nor, to the extent that the amendments referred to below are not materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the consent of any Lender other than the Flex Lenders) shall be required in connection with an amendment hereof or of any other Credit Document (which in each case shall be binding upon each party to the applicable Credit Agreement) being made pursuant to the letter agreement dated June 30, 2008 among the Borrower, the Arrangers and certain of their Lender Affiliates relating to fees and “flex” matters and (iii) an amendment of this Agreement signed only by the Administrative Agent and the Flex Lenders shall be binding upon all parties hereto if the effect of such amendment is to (A) reduce the Term B Loan and/or Term B Commitments by an amount (the “ Retranched Amount ”) not in excess of the aggregate amount of the Term B Commitments (or, after the initial funding hereunder, the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans) of the Initial Lenders immediately prior to giving effect to such amendment, (B) retranche the Retranched Amount as a “Term Y” Loan by re-instating into this Agreement the terms and conditions relating to the “Term Y Loan” and “Term Y Commitments” set forth in the Original Agreement (except that the Term Y Loan/Term Y Commitment amount shall be the Retranched Amount, the Applicable Rate for the “Term Y Loan” hereunder shall be the same as the Applicable Rate relative to the Term B Loan and Subsections 2.12(c) – (f) shall be as set forth on Schedule 9.02)) and (C) allocate such Retranched Amount and related rights and obligations in respect of such “Term Y” facility to the Initial Lenders on a pro-rata (relative to their respective aggregate Commitments under the Original Credit Agreement) basis (i.e., giving effect to such amendment, each of the Initial Lenders will have a “Term Y Loan” or, as applicable, a “Term Y Commitment” in an amount corresponding to the amount by which its Term B Loan or Term B Commitment has been reduced); provided, however, that this subsection (iii) shall cease to be of any force or effect on the first day upon which the aggregate amount of the Term B Commitments and Term B Loans of the Initial Lenders is zero. The Borrower shall (A) at such time as the Flex Lenders shall request, execute and cause its Subsidiaries to execute such amendments to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents as may be requested by the Flex Lenders to effect compliance by the Borrower with its obligations under such letter agreement or, as applicable, to confirm an amendment contemplated by subsection (iii) of the preceding sentence (in each case without respect to whether such execution by the Borrower is, giving effect to subsections (ii) and (iii) of
 
118

 
the preceding sentence, required for the effectiveness thereof) and (B) otherwise comply with its obligations under such letter agreement.
 
SECTION 9.03.     Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver .  (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (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 Collateral 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 or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, 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.
 
(b)                                  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, 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, 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 this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, the Acquisition 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 Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its 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; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
 
(c)                                   To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
 
119

 
expense or indemnity payment is sought by reference to the aggregate outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments (or, if such Term Commitments have terminated, aggregate outstanding Term Loans) and Revolving Commitments (or, if such Revolving Commitments have terminated, aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure)) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.
 
(d)                                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, 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 not later than ten
Business Days after written demand therefor.

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.

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 Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 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 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender.
 
(ii)           A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.18 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’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 2.18 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.18(e) as though it were a Lender.
 
(d)           Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 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.

123

 
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 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 and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Arranger 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. The Borrower agrees to comply with its obligations under such letter agreements. 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.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrowers against any of and all the obligations of such Person now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Person, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
 
SECTION 9.15.                    Conversion of Currencies . (a)            If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
 
(b)         The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “ Applicable Creditor ”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
 
SECTION 9.16.                    Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents . Any syndication agent or documentation agents appointed with respect to this Agreement shall, in their capacities as such, have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. No syndication agent or documentation agent shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any syndication agent or documentation agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.
 
127

 
SECTION 9.17.                    Amendment and Restatement .
 
(a)           On the Restatement Date the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety hereby. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement, any promissory notes delivered pursuant to Section 2.10 and the other Credit Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) under the Original Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Effective Date and (b) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement.
 
(b)           Notwithstanding the modifications effected by this Agreement of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrower contained in the Original Credit Agreement, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any causes of action or other rights created in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or its successors arising out of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in or delivered in connection with the Original Credit Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement.
 
(c)           All indemnification obligations of the Borrower arising under the Original Credit Agreement (including any arising from a breach of the representations thereunder) shall survive this amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement.

Collection Action Mechanism
 
SECTION 10.01.                  Implementation of CAM . (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated in accordance with Article VII, (ii) the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under each Tranche (as defined below) in which it shall participate as of such date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Designated Obligations under each of the Tranches and (iii) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, the interests in the Designated Obligations to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender, each person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 9.04 and each of the Borrowers hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each of the Borrowers and the Lenders agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any of the Borrowers to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note,
 
128

 
instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. For purposes hereof, “ Tranche ” means a category of Commitments and extensions of credits thereunder. For purposes of such definition, each of the following comprises a separate Tranche: (i) the Letters of Credit issued for the account of, and the Swingline Loans, Alternate Currency Loans and Revolving Loans made to, the Borrower, (ii) the Letters of Credit issued for the account of, and the Revolving Loans and Alternate Currency Loans made to, each Subsidiary Borrower, (iii) the Term A Loan, (iv) the Term B Loan and (v) the Term X Loan.
 
(b)           As a result of the CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Credit Document in respect of the Designated Obligations shall (notwithstanding any provision therein to the contrary) be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages (to be redetermined as of each such date of payment or distribution to the extent required by Section 10.01(c)).
 
(c)           In the event that, on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank that is not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower, then (i) each Lender which, immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date, had a Revolving Commitment or Revolving Credit Exposure (a “Revolving Lender”) shall, in accordance with Section 2.06(d), promptly purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank a participation in such L/C Disbursement in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage (determined without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) of such L/C Disbursement, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving effect to such disbursement and the making of such L/C Disbursement and the purchase of participations therein by the applicable Revolving Lenders and the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that each Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Designated Obligations under each of the Tranches (and the interests in the Designated Obligations to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent of such amount in accordance with the first sentence of Section 10.01(a)), and (iii) in the event distributions shall have been made in accordance with Section 10.01(b), the Lenders shall make such payments to one another as shall be necessary in order that the amounts received by them shall be equal to the amounts they would have received had each such disbursement and L/C Disbursement been outstanding on the CAM Exchange Date. Each such redetermination shall be binding on each of the Lenders and their successors and assigns and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
