occurred or it would be reasonably likely that a Material Adverse Effect under clause (y) of the definition thereof would occur were such Reserves not changed or established prior to the expiration of such five Business Day period.

2.03. Notice of Borrowing. Whenever a Borrower desires to incur Loans hereunder, such Borrower shall give the Facility Agent at the Notice Office (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least (x) four Business Days’ prior notice of each Australian Dollar Loan to be incurred hereunder, (y) three Business Days’ prior notice of each U.S. Dollar Loan and Euro Loan to be incurred hereunder and (z) one Business Day’s prior written notice of each Sterling Loan to be incurred hereunder; provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before (x) 9:30 A.M. (London time) on such day, in the case of Sterling Loans and (y) 9:30 A.M. (London time) on such day, in the case of Australian Dollar Loans, U.S. Dollar Loans and Euro Loans. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the Available Currency), (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Facility Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

2.04. Disbursement of Funds. No later than 2:00 P.M. (London time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender, subject to Section 15, will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts will be made available in U.S. Dollars (in the case of U.S. Dollar Loans), in Australian Dollars (in the case of Australian Dollar Loans), in Pounds Sterling (in the case of Sterling Loans) or Euros (in the case of Euro Loans), as the case may be, and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Facility Agent will make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Facility Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Facility Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Facility Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Facility Agent by such Lender, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Facility

Agent’s demand therefor, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, and the relevant Borrower or Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Facility Agent to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Facility Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loans or Euro Loans, the cost to the Facility Agent of acquiring overnight funds in Australian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as the case may be) for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding this Section 2.04 and subject to the provisions of Section 15, (x) the Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s pro rata portion of a Specified Foreign Currency Loan and (y) each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall not be obligated to make its pro rata portion of a Specified Foreign Currency Loan.

2.05. Notes. (a) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender to such Borrower shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by such Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B (except in the case of any Spanish Obligor to the extent execution of a promissory note would give rise to payment of stamp duty), with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request, obtain, maintain or produce a Note evidencing its Loans to any Borrower shall affect, or in any manner impair, the obligations of any Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Secured Obligations) incurred by such Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to any Credit Document. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the respective Borrower shall promptly execute and

deliver to the respective Lender, at such Borrower’s expense, the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06. Continuations. Any Loan (other than any Base Rate Loan) may be continued upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the applicable Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent) giving notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto to the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in accordance with the applicable provisions for Interest Period set forth in Section 2.09 (such notice a “Notice of Continuation”), of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. Except as provided in Section 15, all Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08. Interest. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to such Borrower maintained as a U.S. Dollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to such Borrower maintained as a Sterling Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Sterling Rate for such Interest Period plus any Mandatory Costs.

(c) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to such Borrower maintained as a Euro Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Euro LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any Mandatory Costs.

(d) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan maintained as a Australian Dollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Australian Dollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum (1) in the case of overdue principal of, and overdue interest on, Sterling Loans and any other overdue amounts owing in Pounds Sterling, equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Sterling Loans plus the Sterling Rate for such successive periods not exceeding three months as the Facility Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (2) in the case of overdue principal of, and overdue interest on, Euro Loans and any other overdue amounts owing in Euros, equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Euro Loans plus the Euro LIBOR for such successive periods not exceeding three months as the Facility Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (3) in the case of overdue principal of, and overdue interest on, Australian Dollar Loans and any other overdue amounts owing in Australian Dollars, equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Australian Dollar Loans plus the Australian Dollar Rate for such successive periods not exceeding three months as the Facility Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid, and (4) in the case of overdue principal of, and overdue interest on, U.S. Dollar Loans and any other overdue amounts owing in U.S. Dollars, equal to the rate which is equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(e) shall be payable on demand. With respect to the French Borrower, default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount only if, within the meaning of Article 1154 of the French Code Civil, such interest is due for a period of at least one year, but will remain immediately due and payable.

(f) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (ii) in respect of each Loan, (x) on the date of any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or repaid), (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (z) after such maturity, on demand.

(g) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Facility Agent shall determine the Euro Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Loans and shall promptly notify the respective Borrowers and the Lenders thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(h) For the purposes of articles L.313-1 et seq., R.313-1 and R.313-2 of the French Code de la consommation, the Parties acknowledge that by virtue of certain characteristics of the Loans (and in particular the variable interest rate applicable to Loans and the Borrowers’ right to select the currency and the duration of the Interest Period of each Loan) the taux effectif global (effective global rate) cannot be calculated at the date of this Agreement. However, the French Borrower acknowledges that it has received from the Administrative Agent a letter containing an indicative calculation of the taux effectif global, based on examples calculated on assumptions as to the taux de période and durée de période set out in the letter (the

“TEG Letter”). Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that such TEG Letter forms part of this Agreement.

2.09. Interest Periods. At the time any Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation in respect of the making of, or continuing into, any Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to (x) in the case of an Australian Dollar Loan, 9:30 A.M. (London time) on the fourth Business Day, (y) in the case of Euro Loan or a U.S. Dollar Loan, 9:30 A.M. (London time) on the third Business Day and (z) in the case of a Sterling Loan, 9:30 A.M. (London time) on the first Business Day, in each case prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), such Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (i) a one or two week period, (ii) a one, two, three or six month period or (iii) a nine or twelve month period to the extent agreed to by all Lenders, provided that (in each case):

(a) all Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(b) the initial Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Loan and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Interest Period for a Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(d) if any Interest Period for a Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the preceding Business Day;

(e) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree or as otherwise provided below in the case of U.S. Dollar Loans, Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loans or Euro Loans, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date.

If by 12:00 Noon (London time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Loans, any Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to select a one month Interest Period for such U.S. Dollar Loans, Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loans or Euro Loans, as the case may be, in any such case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) (x) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the respective Euro Rate and/or (y) the applicable Euro Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (1) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein or (2) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan has been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)) shall promptly give notice to the affected Borrowers and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders and the Facility Agent). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, (A) in the event that U.S. Dollar Loans are so affected, U.S. Dollar Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Obligors’ Agent and the Lenders (with a copy to the Facility Agent) that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (B) in the event that Sterling Loans are so affected, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined

on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Sterling Rate, (C) in the event that Euro Loans are so affected, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Euro LIBOR and (D) in the event that Australian Dollar Loans are so affected, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Australian Dollar Rate, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the respective Borrowers by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the affected Borrower may, and in the case of a Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the affected Borrower shall, either (i) if the affected Loan is then being made initially, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Facility Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (ii) if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a U.S. Dollar Loan, require the affected Lender to convert such U.S. Dollar Loan into a Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law) bearing interest at the Base Rate and (B) in the case of any Euro Rate Loan (other than a U.S. Dollar Loan), repay all outstanding Borrowings which include such affected Euro Rate Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.01; provided that (i) if the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) apply to any Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loan or Euro Loan, the respective Borrower may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such outstanding Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loan or Euro Loan, as the case may be, in which case, (x) in the case of Sterling Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Sterling Rate (y) in the case of Euro Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Euro LIBOR and (z) in the case of Australian Dollar Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Australian Dollar Rate, as the case may be, unless the maintenance of such outstanding Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loan or Euro Loan, as the case may be, on such basis would not stop the conditions described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described above, without giving effect to this proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the

respective Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.10(c) shall require any Borrower to pay to any Lender any amount for which such Lender is compensated by way of payment of Mandatory Costs.

(d) In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loans or Euro Loans or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Sterling Loan or Euro Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves are included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loans or Euro Loans or in Section 2.10(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves in respect of such Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loans and/or Euro Loans (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and the respective Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that such Borrower is otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Australian Dollar Loans, Sterling Loans and Euro Loans or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

2.11. Compensation. Each Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or continuation from or into, Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment

made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or continuation of any of its Euro Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period or maturity date, as applicable, with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrowers; or (d) as a consequence of (i) any other default by the respective Borrowers to repay Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12. Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Facility Agent) to the extent not already reflected on Schedule 13.03, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender (including, without limitation, by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with respect to such Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings; provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although if such designation results in increased costs, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the costs which would have applied in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

(b) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Obligors’ Agent, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to mitigate the effects of such event, including by designating another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12(b) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (a) (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to any Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Obligors’ Agent shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a

Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Fronting Lender (unless such Person will not be a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender) and any Issuing Lender; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Borrowers) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the entire Commitment and all outstanding Loans and all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (i) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (if any) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01 and (ii) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the relevant Borrowers, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06 and any others expressly stated to survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) the Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after a good faith effort in consultation with the Administrative Agent, the Obligor’s Agent is unable to procure a Replacement Lender

pursuant to this Section 2.13 for a Lender affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 and Section 5.04, then the Obligor’s Agent shall have the right on giving not less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly so notify the applicable Replaced Lender) to prepay without premium or penalty to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender all (but not in part only) of such Lender’s participation in the aggregate Advances then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all other sums owing to such Lender hereunder and otherwise in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement; provided that such prepayment shall not relieve any applicable Borrower from its obligation to pay such additional interest that may be due or any other amount that is due and owing to such Replaced Lender under this Agreement as of the date of such payment. When such prepayments are made, the Commitment of such Lender shall be canceled and reduced to zero and no amount prepaid in connection therewith may be redrawn.

2.14. Incremental Loan Commitments. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.14, but without requiring the consent of the Administrative Agent (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.14) or the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date (or, if later, after the satisfaction of any condition previously agreed to among the Agents and the Obligors’ Agent) and prior to the Maturity Date that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the relevant Incremental Commitment Agreement, make Loans and participate in Letters of Credit pursuant thereto; provided that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers an Incremental Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Loans in excess of its Commitment (if any) or participate in any Letters of Credit in excess of its Percentage, in each case, as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender; provided that any Person that is not a Lender prior to the effectiveness of its Incremental Commitment shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Fronting Lender (unless such Person will not be a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld) to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14, (iii) the aggregate amount of each request (and provision therefor) for Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to a given Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including Persons who are Eligible Transferees and will become Lenders) of at least £5,000,000 (or such lesser amount that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed in the aggregate £28,000,000, (v) the Borrowers shall not increase the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14 more than 3 times, (vi) such Incremental Commitments shall have the same terms as the Commitments, (vii) all Loans incurred pursuant to an Incremental Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts

payable thereon) shall be Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under the relevant Guaranties, on a pari passu basis with all other Loans secured by each relevant Security Document and guaranteed under the Guaranty, and (viii) each Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, participate in Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.01(c) and 3.04, respectively, and make Loans as provided in Section 2.01(a) and such Loans shall constitute Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, (I) each Borrower, each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement, appropriately completed (with the effectiveness of the Incremental Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (i) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (ii) all Incremental Commitment Requirements have been satisfied, (iii) all conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied and (iv) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied) and (II) each Borrower, each Guarantor and the Security Agent and each Incremental Lender (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent such additional Security Documents and/or amendments to the Security Documents which are necessary to ensure that all Loans incurred pursuant to the Incremental Commitments and any Additional Margin are secured by each relevant Security Document (the “Incremental Security Documents”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and the Facility Agent as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement and, at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Incremental Commitments provided by an Incremental Lender or Incremental Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Total Commitment and each Incremental Lender shall constitute a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and each other applicable Credit Document.

(d) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, each Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14) and with the Borrowers being obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing.

2.15. Obligors’ Agent as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Obligors’ Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under this Agreement and each other Credit Document, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the respective appointing Borrower that such appointment has been revoked. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Obligors’ Agent (i) to provide the Administrative Agent and/or the Facility Agent, as applicable, with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) to take such action as the Obligors’ Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. It is understood that the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral of the respective Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the consolidated group. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, each Co-Collateral Agent and each Lender and hold the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, each Co-Collateral Agent and each Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Credit Account and Collateral of the Borrowers as provided in this Agreement or (b) the Administrative Agent’s, the Facility Agent’s, the Security Agent’s, the Co-Collateral Agents’ and the Lenders’ relying on any instructions of the Obligors’ Agent, or (c) any other action taken by the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, except that the Borrowers will have no liability to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent with respect to any such liability, expense, loss, claim, damage or injury to the extent the same has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent or such Co-Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

3.01. Letters of Credit. (a) (A) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 7), a Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the 10^th day prior to the Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrowers and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to any Group Member, an irrevocable trade letter of

credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) (although without limiting the nature of the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit, any particular Letter of Credit may name only one or more of the Borrowers, as the case may be, as the applicant or obligor therein and, at the direction of such respective Borrower(s), may be issued for the benefit of one or more Group Members). All Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only.

(B) Schedule 3.01(a) contains a description of letters of credit that were issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and which remain outstanding on the Effective Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated amount, (v) the currency in which the letter of credit is denominated, (vi) the name of the beneficiary, (vii) the expiry date and (viii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit, including any extension or renewal thereof in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued on the Effective Date.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 7), each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the 5^th day prior to the Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default; provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from any Borrower, any other Obligor or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Currencies Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) no Letter of Credit

shall be issued (or required to be issued) if the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (for this purpose, using the Pounds Sterling Equivalent of all amounts denominated in a currency other than Pounds Sterling) (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed £35,000,000 (the “Maximum Letter of Credit Amount”), (b) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) at any time when the Aggregate Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) the Total Commitment at such time, (c) the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 7), (d) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in either U.S. Dollars, Australian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, (e) each standby Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (i) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date) and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date and (f) each trade Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (i) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least (x) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Pounds Sterling, Euro and US Dollars, two Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof and (y) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Australian Dollars, four Business Days’ written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such requesting Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from any Borrower, any other Obligor or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower to be named as account party therein and the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that one or more Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit or increase or extend

any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrowers to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing (in Pounds Sterling or the Pounds Sterling Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars) such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings (such arrangements, the “Back-Stop Arrangements”).

(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than £100,000 (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, the Pounds Sterling Equivalent thereof) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.04. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower, any other Obligor, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Pounds Sterling (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, the Pounds Sterling Equivalent of such unreimbursed payment, as determined by the Issuing Lender on the date on which such unreimbursed payment was made by such Issuing Lender) in immediately available funds. If the Facility Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (London time) on any Business Day,

any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Pounds Sterling (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, the Pounds Sterling Equivalent thereof) such Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, at the respective Issuing Lender’s customary rate for interbank advances) for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to U.S. Dollar Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its Percentage thereof, in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, the Pounds Sterling Equivalent thereof) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Group Member may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated

herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Group Member and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Facility Agent in Pounds Sterling (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, the Pounds Sterling Equivalent of such payment or disbursement as determined by the respective Issuing Lender on the date of such payment or disbursement) in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower, as the case may be (each such amount (or the Pounds Sterling Equivalent thereof, as the case may be), so paid until reimbursed by such Borrower, as the case may be, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by any such Borrower, as the case may be, of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.01(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (London time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by such Borrower, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Euro Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for U.S. Dollar Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (London time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by any such Borrower, as the case may be, of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.01(e), interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by such Borrower, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Euro Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Dollar Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrowers prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the obligations of such Borrowers hereunder.

(b) The obligations of such Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,

counterclaim or defense to payment which any Group Member may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, or gross negligence, faith on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit is outstanding, such Borrowers shall enter into Back-Stop Arrangements with the relevant Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders no later than two Business Days after the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.

3.06. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (b) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Issuing Lender or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein, then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrowers by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), each Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

4.01. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage of the Unutilized Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Commitment is terminated.

(b) Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (based on each such Lender’s respective Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Loans that are maintained as Eurodollar Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(c) Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/4 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less than £500, it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if £500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full £500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it issued for the account of such Borrower, as the case may be, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

(e) The Borrowers agree to pay to each Agent such fees as may have been, or are hereafter, agreed to in writing from time to time by the Obligors and such Agent.

4.02. Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office

(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders and the Facility Agent), the Obligors’ Agent shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of £1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Commitment; provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Commitment of each Lender; provided, further, that a notice of termination of the Total Unutilized Commitment in whole delivered by the Obligors’ Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Obligors’ Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date).

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrowers shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders and the Facility Agent), to terminate the entire Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06 and any others expressly stated to survive as to such repaid Lender.

(y) the Aggregate Exposure at such time exceeds the Total Commitment at such time; and/or

(z) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time exceeds the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount.

For purposes of this Section 5.02(a)(i), the Borrowing Base will be based upon the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered less any reserves then in effect on the date of the calculation of the Aggregate Exposure. The Borrowing Base Certificate will not be the basis for determining the amount of the Aggregate Exposure. Such amounts shall be determined as of each day.

In connection with any repayment and/or cash collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) on any day, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in the following order:

(i) in the case of a repayment and/or cash collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(x) on any day, the Borrowers shall repay on such day the principal of outstanding Loans in each case in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions giving rise to such mandatory repayment requirement to cease to exist on such day, and

(ii) in the case of a repayment and/or cash collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(y) on any day, the Borrowers shall repay on such day the principal of outstanding Loans, in each case in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions giving rise to such mandatory repayment requirement to cease to exist on such day.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 5.02(a), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any prepayment or cash collateralization required pursuant to this Section 5.02(a), the Borrowers may prepay Loans and cash collateralize the relevant Letters of Credit as directed by the Borrowers (so long as such application cures the related conditions).

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which any Group Member receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by any Group Member of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04), an

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02 (but subject to Section 5.02(g)), on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which any Group Member receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event, in respect of Inventory, while a Compliance Period is in effect, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(e) and (f).

(e) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (c) and (d) in accordance with this Section 5.02(e) shall be applied (i) first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Loans without any reduction in the Total Commitment, and (ii) second, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clause (i) have been paid in full, to cash collateralize (on a ratable basis) all outstanding Letters of Credit (such cash collateral to be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent and applied to the Secured Obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and/or Lenders in respect of any Drawings made under any such Letters of Credit).

(f) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrowers may designate the Types of Loans which are to be repaid and the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made; provided that: (i) repayments of U.S. Dollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.11; (ii) if any repayment of Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be repaid in full at the end of the then current Interest Period and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders holding such Loans. In the absence of a designation by a Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(g) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.

(d) Except as provided in paragraphs (e), (l) and (n), if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(e) A payment by a Qualifying Obligor shall not be increased under paragraph (d) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax that is imposed by the relevant Qualifying Obligor’s Tax Jurisdiction (A) on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (except that the foregoing shall not apply (i) in the case of a Tax imposed by Australia and (ii) unless applicable by reason of Clause (B) below, to the extent that such Lender’s assignor, if any, was entitled at the time of assignment to receive an increased payment (see Section 5.04.5(c)) or (B) if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(i) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender unless (A) that Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender or is not a Qualifying Lender as a result of any Change in Law after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement, and (B) that Lender was a Protected Party immediately prior to such change; or

(ii) that Lender has not complied with its obligations under Clause 5.04.5 (Lender Status Confirmation) and/or Clause 5.04.6 (Filings); or

(iii) in relation to a United Kingdom Qualifying Obligor, the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (a)(B) of the definition of “Qualifying Lender”; and

(A) an officer of H.M. Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the Income Tax Xxx 0000 which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the Qualifying Obligor making the payment or from the Obligors’ Agent a certified copy of that Direction; and

(B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or

(iv) in relation to a United Kingdom Qualifying Obligor, the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (a)(B) of the definition of “Qualifying Lender”; and

(A) the relevant Lender has not given a Tax Confirmation to the Obligor’s Agent or it has revoked or otherwise retracted any Tax Confirmation given to the Obligors’ Agent or it has failed to comply with its obligations under Clause 5.04.5; and

(B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a Tax Confirmation to the Obligors’ Agent which had not been so revoked or retracted and had complied with its obligations under clause 5.04.5; or

(v) in relation to a Spanish Qualifying Obligor, such Lender has not complied with its obligations under paragraph (o) below; or

(vi) the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraphs (h), (k), (l) or (m) below.

(f) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(g) Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the Lender entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the ITA (or existing equivalent documentation in the relevant Obligor’s Tax Jurisdiction) or evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Lender that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(h) A Treaty Lender and each Qualifying Obligor which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including making or obtaining filings, declarations and instructions) necessary for that Qualifying Obligor to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction, provided that such Treaty Lender is legally entitled to complete any such procedural formalities.

(i) No Obligor will be obliged to make any payment or increased payment pursuant to this Clause 5.04 in respect of a Tax Deduction where:

(A) the Tax Deduction is required to be made, pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC, from a payment made or received by the Administrative Agent; and

(B) the Tax Deduction arises as a result of a failure by the Administrative Agent to comply with the terms of Clause 5.04.5(b) (Location of Administrative Agent).

(j) A UK Non-Bank Lender which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into gives a Tax Confirmation to the Obligors’ Agent by entering into this Agreement.

(k) A UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Obligors’ Agent and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation.

(l) A Lender which will be a Lender on the Effective Date and which will be entitled to receive a payment from a U.S. Obligor shall provide the necessary Withholding Forms on or prior to the Effective Date; provided, however that such Lender shall not be required to provide such Withholding Forms if it is not legally entitled to do so. No U.S. Obligor shall be obligated pursuant to Clause 5.04.2(d) to increase payments to be made to such Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States if such Lender failed to provide the necessary Withholding Forms as so required, until such time as such Lender provides to the U.S. Obligor the necessary Withholding Forms as required by the preceding sentence.

(m) Each Lender mentioned in (l) above agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous Withholding Forms obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to the U.S. Obligors and the Administrative Agent two new, accurate and complete original signed Withholding Forms, or such Lender shall immediately notify the U.S. Obligor of its inability to deliver any such Withholding Forms, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Withholding Forms, except if the Lender’s inability to deliver such Withholding Forms

is solely as a result of a change in circumstance of such Lender and not a change in circumstance of the U.S. Obligor.

(n) A payment by a Qualifying Obligor shall not be increased under paragraph (d) above by reason of a Tax Deduction that is imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein.

(o) In relation to the Spanish Qualifying Obligor , a Lender which is a Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraphs (d) (C) and (d) (D) of the definition of “Qualifying Lender” shall provide the Spanish Qualifying Obligor, before any payment of interest is due or effectively paid, with a certificate of tax residence duly issued by the competent Tax authorities of its jurisdiction of residence or with the corresponding form, if any, required under the applicable treaty for the avoidance of double taxation, evidencing such Lender as resident for Tax purposes in that jurisdiction and, if a Treaty Lender, accrediting such Treaty Lender as resident in the relevant jurisdiction and declaring that it is entitled to the benefits of the relevant treaty for the avoidance of double taxation. Each such Lender shall deliver a new certificate of tax residence or form, as the case may be, to the Spanish Qualifying Obligor each time the existing certificate or form expires in accordance with applicable Spanish legislation. For such purposes, the Qualifying Obligor shall notify the Qualifying Lender within at least two months prior to the expiration date of the former tax certificates in order for the Qualifying Lender to provide the renewed tax certificates to the competent Tax authorities of its jurisdiction in a timely fashion.

5.04.3 Tax indemnity

(a) The Obligors’ Agent shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent) pay or procure that an Obligor pays to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in relation to a Credit Document.

(b) Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

(i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Lender or Administrative Agent (or any corresponding losses, liability, or costs):

(A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender or Administrative Agent is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Lender or Administrative Agent is treated as resident for tax purposes or from which the Administrative Agent acts for the purpose of this Agreement; or

(B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender’s Facility Office or the Administrative Agent is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income or gross receipts received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Administrative Agent or Lender; or

(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 5.04.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 5.04.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph (e) of Clause 5.04.2 (Tax gross-up) applied; or

(C) is suffered or incurred by a Lender that is a Qualifying Lender solely under paragraph (a)(B) of the definition of Qualifying Lender and:

(iii) it has not given a Tax Confirmation to the Obligors’ Agent or it has revoked or otherwise retracted any Tax Confirmation given to the Obligors’ Agent or it has failed to comply with its obligations under Clause 5.04.2 (Tax Gross-Up) (h), (k) or (l) or Clause 5.04.5 (Lender Status Confirmation) or Clause 5.04.6 (Filings).

(c) A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the Obligors’ Agent.

(d) A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 5.04.3, notify the Administrative Agent.

5.04.4 Tax Credit

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender or Administrative Agent determines that:

(a) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(b) that Lender or Administrative Agent has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

the Lender or Administrative Agent shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Lender or Administrative Agent determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor, provided that if such Tax Credit is subsequently disallowed or reduced, such Obligor shall indemnify the relevant Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for or for the relevant portion of such amount. Nothing in this Section 5.04 or any other provision in any Credit Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).

5.04.5 Lender Status Confirmation and Assignment

(a) Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Assignment Agreement which it executes on becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in:

(i) not a Qualifying Lender;

(ii) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender);

(iii) a Treaty Lender; or

(iv) lending from a Facility Office located in and tax resident in a Specified Sovereign.

If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 5.04.5 then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Qualifying Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category or categories apply (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Obligors’ Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 5.04.5(a).

(b) No Administrative Agent will, for the purposes of the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC and in relation to payments made or received under any Credit Document by it in its capacity as Administrative Agent, be established in, change its place of establishment to, act through any office situated or established in, maintain any account used for making or receiving payments in relation to the Credit Documents in, or delegate any of its duties, trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested in it under the Credit Documents to, any person established in or acting from Austria, Belgium or Luxembourg.

(i) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights, benefits or obligations under the Credit Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Qualifying Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the new Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 5.04 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 2.10 (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.),

then the new Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is not entitled to receive payment under those Clauses in an amount greater than the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been entitled to receive if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. The relevant Obligor, however, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay to such new Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office any other increased costs under Section 2.10,

3.06 and 5.04.2 resulting from a change after the date of the respective assignment, to the extent such new Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office (A) was a Qualifying Lender at the time of such assignment or transfer (provided, however, that in the case of a U.S. Obligor, this clause (A) shall not be applicable), and (B) is entitled under the provisions of this Section 5.04 to payment of such amounts.

(d) Upon request of the Obligors’ Agent, the Administrative Agent will promptly provide the Borrowers with an accurate and up-to-date list of the Lenders under the Facility and their respective Commitments.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each assignee Lender, Participating Lender, or Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender which is entitled to receive a payment from a U.S. Obligor shall provide the necessary Withholding Forms. No U.S. Obligor shall be obligated pursuant to Clause 5.04.5(b) to increase payments to be made to a assignee Lender, Participating Lender, or Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States (i) to the extent such increase payments are a result of such Assignee Lender, Participating Lender, or Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s failure to provide the necessary Withholding Forms or (ii) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender that is required to provide the certificate described in (b) of the definition of Withholding Forms, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes. Each assignee Lender, Participating Lender, or Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous Withholding Forms obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such assignee Lender, Participating Lender, or Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender will deliver to the U.S. Obligors and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed Withholding Forms, or such Lender shall immediately notify the U.S. Obligor of its inability to deliver any such Withholding Forms, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Withholding Forms, except if the Lender’s inability to deliver such Withholding Forms is solely as a result of a change in circumstance of such Lender and not a change in circumstance of the U.S. Obligor.

5.04.6 Filings

At the reasonable request of a Borrower, each Lender shall promptly co-operate with such Borrower by submitting such forms and documents and completing such other procedural formalities as may be necessary for such Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without having to make a Tax Deduction, provided such Lender is legally entitled to submit such forms and documents and complete such other procedural formalities. Each Lender which will become a Qualifying Lender only on completion of certain procedural requirements (whether to obtain the benefit of applicable Taxation treaties and legislation or otherwise) shall notify the Facility Agent and the Obligors’ Agent promptly on completion of all such formalities provided, however, that once all formalities have been completed, such Lender shall not lose its right to receive additional amounts, gross-up payments or indemnity payments under this Section 5.04 as a result of its failure to make such notifications.

5.04.7 Stamp taxes

The Obligors’ Agent shall pay and, within five Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender or Administrative Agent against any cost, loss or liability that Lender or Administrative Agent incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Credit Document except for any such Tax payable in connection with any document relating to the assignment or transfer by any Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations under any Credit Documents, other than relating to an assignment or transfer under Sections 2.13 or 13.12(b) or any other assignment or transfer that is requested by an Obligor.

5.04.8 VAT

(i) All amounts set out, or expressed in a Credit Document to be payable by any party to such agreement (a “Party”) to a Secured Creditor which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to sub-paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Creditor to any Party under a Credit Document, that Party shall pay to the Secured Creditor (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Secured Creditor shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party) unless the reverse charge procedure applies.

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Creditor (the “Supplier”) to any other Secured Creditor (the “Recipient”) under a Credit Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Credit Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT.

(iii) Where a Credit Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Creditor for any cost or expense, the Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Creditor for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Creditor reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 5.04.8 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (United Kingdom) and the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Xxx 0000 (Australia) as well as the equivalent meaning in any other jurisdiction where applicable).

5.05. Public Offer. (a) Each Lead Arranger represents and warrants that: (i) it will, jointly with each other Joint Lead Arranger, on behalf of the Australian Borrower make invitations to become a “Lender” under this agreement publically in an electronic form on either

the Bloomberg or Reuters screen; or (ii) as dealer, manager, or underwriter, in relation to the placement of debt interests issued under this agreement, will, jointly with each other Joint Lead Arranger, make invitations to become a “Lender” under this agreement within 30 days after the date of this agreement in a way consistent with 5.05(a)(i).

(b) Each Australian Borrower represents and warrants that it does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that an Offshore Associate of any Australian Borrower will become a “Lender” under this agreement and agrees to notify the Joint Lead Arranger immediately if any proposed substitute Lender disclosed to it is known or suspected by it to be an Offshore Associate of the Australian Borrower.

(c) Each Lender that became a Lender as a result of an invitation under Clause 5.05(a) represents and warrants that (i) an invitation to become “Lender” was made to it by the Joint Lead Arrangers under clause 5.05(a); and (ii) except as disclosed to the Australian Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers, it is not, so far as its relevant officers involved in the transaction on a day to day basis are actually aware, an Offshore Associate of the Australian Borrower.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 5.04 (other than with respect to Section 5.04.3(b)) and any other Section in this Agreement, all payments made by an Australian Borrower under any Credit Document will be made free and clear of, and without any Tax Deduction; provided that if the Australian Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction from such payments, then (i) the amount of the payment due from that Australian Borrower (or its applicable Obligor, as the case may be) shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no such Tax Deduction had been required, (ii) the Australian Borrower shall make such Tax Deduction and (iii) the Australian Borrower shall pay the full amount of such Tax Deduction to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. The Australian Borrower (or its applicable Obligor) shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of any payment made or required to be made by an Australian Borrower under any Credit Document.

5.06. Net Payments. All payments made by the Obligors under Section 5.04 and under any other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense other than as relates to monies due and payable to an Obligor by a Defaulting Lender where the set-off, counterclaim or other defense is made or raised by an Obligor in relation to sums payable by an Obligor to that Defaulting Lender.

105

fact, condition or event on the Effective Date. Upon the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that the conditions specified in this Section 6 have been met (after giving effect to the preceding sentence), then the Effective Date shall be deemed to have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although the occurrence of the Effective Date shall not release any Obligor from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions contained in this Section 6).

SECTION 7. Conditions Precedent to All Credit Events. The obligation of each Lender to make Loans (including Loans made on the Effective Date), and the obligation of each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit (including Letters of Credit issued on the Effective Date), is subject, at the time of the Effective Date and at the time of each such Credit Event (except as hereinafter indicated), to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

7.01. No Default; Representations and Warranties. At the time of each such Credit Event and also after giving effect thereto (i) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default and (ii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the date of such Credit Event (it being understood and agreed that (x) any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date and (y) any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such date).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (but subject to Section 2.01), it shall be a condition precedent to each Credit Event that after giving effect thereto (and the use of the proceeds thereof) that the Aggregate Exposure at such time would not exceed the Borrowing Base at such time. For purposes of this Section 7.03, the Borrowing Base will be based upon the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered less any reserves then in effect on the date of the calculation of the Aggregate Exposure. The Borrowing Base Certificate will not be the basis for determining the amount of the Aggregate Exposure. Such amounts shall be determined as of each day.

The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Obligors’ Agent and the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 6 (with respect to Credit Events on the Effective Date) and in this Section 7 (with respect to Credit Events on or after the Effective Date) and applicable to such Credit Event are satisfied as of that time. All of the Notes, certificates, legal opinions and other documents and papers referred to in Section 6

106

and in this Section 7, unless otherwise specified, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office for the account of each of the Lenders and, except for the Notes, in sufficient counterparts or copies for each of the Lenders and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, and issue (or participate in) the Letters of Credit as provided herein, each Obligor makes the following representations, warranties and agreements, in each case after giving effect to the Transaction, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, with the occurrence of the Effective Date and each Credit Event on or after the Effective Date being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters specified in this Section 8 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date and on the date of each such other Credit Event (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).

8.01. Company Status. Each Group Member (i) is a duly organized and validly existing Company in good standing (or its equivalent, to the extent that such concept is applicable in the respective jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (ii) has the Company power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing or its equivalent in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualifications except in the case of this clause (iii) for failures to do so or to be so qualified or authorized or to be in good standing which, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.02. Power and Authority. Each Obligor has the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary Company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Documents. Each Obligor has duly executed and delivered each of the Documents to which it is party, and each of such Documents constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law) and subject, further, to the qualifications included in the opinions delivered pursuant to Section 6.03.

8.03. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Obligor of the Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any Applicable Law, (ii) will conflict with or result in a default under any indenture or other agreement or instrument binding upon any Group Member or any of their respective assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Group Member or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation thereunder, (iii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of

107

the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Group Member pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Group Member is a party or by which it or any its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject (including, without limitation, any Local Law Financing), or (iv) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, articles of association, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents), as applicable, of any Group Member, except, in each case, to the extent that such contravention, conflict, violation, default or breach would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

8.04. Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except for (x) those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to the Effective Date and which remain in full force and effect on the Effective Date, (y) filings which are necessary to perfect the security interests created under the Security Documents) and (z) those the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Group Member to authorize, or is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Group Member in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Document.

8.05. Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections. (a) The audited consolidated balance sheet of each Borrower as at the last day of full Fiscal Years ended February 3, 2007, February 2, 2008 and January 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of each Borrower as for the Fiscal Years ended on such dates, copies of which are in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of each Borrower at the date of said financial statements and the results for the respective periods covered thereby. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of as at the last day of their Fiscal Quarter ended August 1, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of each Parent Guarantor and each Borrower as for the six month period ended on such date, copies of which were in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of each Parent Guarantor and each Borrower as at the date of said financial statements and the consolidated results of their operations for the period covered thereby, subject to normal year-end adjustments. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with local generally accepted accounting principles or with other local or internationally recognized accounting standards consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements and subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which are of a recurring nature and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be material) and the absence of footnotes.

(b) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.05(a), and except for the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement, there were as of

108

the Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to any Group Member of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Effective Date have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Parent Guarantors or the Borrowers to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information known to the Parent Guarantors or the Borrowers regarding the matters reported therein, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results included in such Projections.

(d) After giving effect to the Transaction since January 31, 2009 nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have or result in, either indirectly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

8.06. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.06, there are no actions, suits, claims, demands, investigations, inspections, audits, charges, or proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority pending or, to the actual knowledge of an Authorized Officer of either Parent Guarantor or any other Obligor, threatened (i) with respect to the Transaction or any Document or (ii) that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

8.07. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of either Parent Guarantor or any Borrower in writing to the any Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of either Parent Guarantor or any Borrower in writing to any Agent or any Lender was true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided.

8.08. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrowers (i) on the Effective Date, to effect the Refinancing, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction and (ii) thereafter, for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes of the Obligors (including making intercompany Investments permitted under this Agreement in (including transfers and payments to Guarantors) Group Members for use by them for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes); provided that in no event may proceeds of the Loan be utilized to refinance any Indebtedness incurred in connection with the direct or indirect acquisition of the Borrowers and Guarantors by the Sponsor or its Affiliates other than in connection with the Transaction.

109

(b) No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X. No Borrower owns any Margin Stock.

8.09. Tax Returns and Payments. Each Group Member has timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of, each Group Member. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of each Group Member, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. Each Group Member has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than those (a) that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of each Group Member, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to any Group Member the extent of which would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, no Group Member has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of any Group Member, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of any Group Member not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations.

8.10. Compliance with Pensions/ERISA. (a) The pension schemes of each Group Member are funded to the extent required by law or otherwise to comply in all material respects with the requirements of any law applicable in the jurisdiction in which the relevant pension scheme is maintained, in each case, where failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) (i) Schedule 8.10(b) sets forth each Plan as of the Initial Borrowing Date; each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) maintained by it is in substantial compliance with its terms and with all applicable laws, including without limitation ERISA and the Code; (ii) each Plan maintained by it which is intended to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it meets the requirements of sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all tax law changes including the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service; (iii) no Reportable Event has occurred in relation to a Plan maintained by it; (iv) no Group Member has received written notice that a Plan maintained by it which is a Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; (v) no Plan maintained by it has an Unfunded Current Liability; (vi) no Group Member has received written notice that a Plan maintained by it which is subject to section 412 of the Code or section 302 of ERISA has an accumulated funding deficiency, within the meaning of such sections of the Code or ERISA, or has applied for or received a waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or an extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of section 412 of the Code or section 303 or 304 of ERISA; (vii) neither an Obligor nor any Subsidiary of an Obligor nor any ERISA Affiliate has

110

incurred any material liability (including any direct, contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan pursuant to section 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or section 436(f) of the Code or expects to incur any such liability under any of the foregoing sections with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan; (viii) no condition exists which presents a material risk to any Obligor, any Subsidiary of an Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a liability to or on account of a Plan or Multiemployer Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; (ix) no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Plan maintained by it which is subject to Title IV of ERISA; (x) using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with Part I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of the Obligors, Subsidiaries of the Obligors and ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan ended prior to the date of the most recent Credit Event, would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (xi) no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of an Obligor or any Subsidiary of an Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is reasonably likely to arise on account of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan maintained by any of them.

(c) Each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and 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. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Non-U.S. Plan have been timely made. Neither an Obligor nor any of Subsidiary of an Obligor has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Non-U.S. Plan.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 8.10(d), (a) no Group Member is or has at any time on or after April 27, 2004 been an employer (for the purposes of sections 38 to 51 of the Pensions Act 2004) of an occupational pension scheme which is not a money purchase scheme (both terms as defined in the Pension Schemes Act 1993); and (b) no Group Member is or has at any time on or after April 27, 2004 been “connected” with or an “associate” of (as those terms are used in sections 39 and 43 of the Pensions Act 2004) such an employer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.10, the representations and warranties made in this Section 8.10 shall only be untrue if the effect of any or all conditions, violations, claims, restrictions, failures and non compliances of the types described above would have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.11. Collateral Matters. (a) After taking the actions specified for perfection therein, each Security Document, when executed and delivered, will be effective under applicable law to create in favor of the Security Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Creditors a valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral subject thereto (the enforceability of the security interest in which is 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), and will, constitute a fully perfected Lien on and security interest in all right, title and interest of the Obligors in the Collateral subject thereto, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights and obligations secured by Permitted Liens and subject to claims with a preference as a matter of law (it being understood that no representation is made under

111

this clause as to the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien to the extent that such creation, perfection or priority is determined under the law of a jurisdiction outside of the jurisdiction governing the laws of the applicable Security Document purporting to create, perfect or establish the priority of any such Lien).

(b) Each Mortgage, upon execution and delivery by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Security Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under local law), for the ratable benefit of the Secured Creditors, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in and mortgage lien on the all the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties subject thereto and the proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages have been filed or registered in the appropriate jurisdiction, the Mortgages will constitute a fully perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on all right, title and interest of the mortgagors in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, prior and superior in right to any other Person (but subject to (i) Liens or other encumbrances for which exceptions are taken in the policies of title insurance delivered in respect of the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) Permitted Liens and (iii) Permitted Encumbrances).

(c) As of the Effective Date, there does not exist any Subsidiary of either Parent Guarantor which is not an Obligor other than Immaterial Subsidiaries. No Borrower is aware of any intellectual property that is owned by any Obligor that has not pledged its rights in such intellectual property under the Security Documents, other than intellectual property that is not material to any business of the Group.

8.12. Properties. All Real Property owned or leased by any Group Member as of the Effective Date, and the nature of the interest therein, is correctly set forth in Schedule 8.12. Each Group Member has good and indefeasible title to all material properties (and to all buildings, fixtures and improvements located thereon) owned by it, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, except for any defects of title which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Group Member has a valid and indefeasible leasehold interest in the material properties leased by it free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens except for any defects which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.13. Subsidiaries. On and as of the Initial Borrowing Date, no Parent Guarantor has any Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 8.13. Schedule 8.13 sets forth, as of the Effective Date, the percentage ownership (direct and indirect) of either Parent Guarantor in each class of capital stock or other Equity Interests of each of its Subsidiaries and joint ventures and also identifies the direct owner thereof and which Subsidiaries are Obligors. All outstanding shares of Equity Interests of each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of either Parent Guarantor and each Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of either Parent Guarantor whose Equity Interests are pledged pursuant to the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements have been duly and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued free of preemptive rights except as expressly indicated in the applicable Collateral documentation. No Subsidiary of either Parent Guarantor has outstanding any securities convertible into or exchangeable for its Equity Interests or outstanding any right to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options or warrants for the purchase of, or any agreement providing for the

112

issuance (contingent or otherwise) of or any calls, commitments or claims of any character relating to, its Equity Interests or any stock appreciation or similar rights.

8.14. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each Group Member is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business, the relationship with its employees and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to environmental standards and controls), except such non-compliances as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.15. Investment Company Act. No Group Member is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

8.16. Insurance. Schedule 8.16 sets forth a listing of all insurance maintained by each Group member as of the Effective Date, with the amounts insured (and any deductibles) set forth therein.

8.17. Environmental Matters. (a) Each Group Member is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of either Parent Guarantor or any Borrower, threatened Environmental Claims against any Group Member or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (including any such claim arising out of the ownership, lease or operation by any Group Member of any Real Property formerly owned, leased or operated by any Group Member but no longer owned, leased or operated by any Group Member). There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences with respect to the business or operations of any Group Member, or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (including any Real Property formerly owned, leased or operated by any Group Member but no longer owned, leased or operated by any Group Member) or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, any property adjoining or adjacent to any such Real Property that could be reasonably expected (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against any Group Member or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Group Member or (ii) to cause any Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Group Member to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, lease, occupancy or transferability of such Real Property by any Group Member under any applicable Environmental Law.

(b) To the best knowledge of each Obligor, Hazardous Materials have not at any time been generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, or Released on or from, any Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Group Member or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, any property adjoining or adjacent to any Real Property, where such generation, use, treatment, storage, transportation or Release has violated or could be reasonably expected to violate any applicable Environmental Law or give rise to an Environmental Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.17, the representations and warranties made in this Section 8.17 and for all purposes of all Documents shall be untrue only if the effect of any or all conditions, violations, claims, restrictions, failures

113

and noncompliances of the types described above could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.18. Employment and Labor Relations. No Group Member is engaged in any unfair labor practice or has violated any applicable labour law that could reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (i) no unfair labor practice or labor law violation complaint pending against any Group Member or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened against any of them, before the National Labor Relations Board or other Governmental Authority, and no grievance, arbitration or other proceeding arising out of or under any Collective Bargaining Agreement or any other similar collective agreement with any type of employees’ representative is so pending against any Group Member or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened against any of them, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending against any Group Member or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened against any Group Member, (iii) no union representation question exists with respect to the employees of any Group Member, (iv) no equal employment opportunity charge or other claim of employment discrimination pending or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened against any Group Member, (v) to the knowledge of any Group Member, no threatened or pending organizing activity or union, works council or any other type of employees’ representatives elections and (vi) no wage and hour department investigation that has been made of any Group Member and no violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state or foreign law dealing with the hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Group Member, except (with respect to any matter specified in clauses (i)-(vi) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of any Group Member, except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the consummation of the Transaction will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union, works council or any other type of employees’ representatives under any Collective Bargaining Agreement to which any Group Member (or any predecessor) is currently a party or by which any Group Member (or any predecessor) is currently bound, unless otherwise expressly provided by applicable laws.

8.19. Intellectual Property, etc. Each Group Member owns or has the right to use all the patents, trademarks, permits, domain names, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, inventions, trade secrets, proprietary information and know-how of any type, whether or not written (including, but not limited to, rights in computer programs and databases) and formulas, or rights with respect to the foregoing, and has obtained assignments of all leases, licenses and other rights of whatever nature, necessary for the present conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights of others which, or the failure to own or have which, as the case may be, could reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.20. Indebtedness. Schedule 8.20 sets forth a list of all Indebtedness for borrowed money (including Contingent Obligations in respect of Indebtedness) of each Group Member as of the Initial Borrowing Date and which is to remain outstanding after giving effect to the Transaction (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 Group Member which directly or indirectly guarantees such debt.

114

9.14. Further Assurances. (a) Each Obligor will, and will cause each other Group Member to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing, registration and recording of

127

would have been complied with if the Permitted Acquisition had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period; (iv) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (v) the Aggregate Consideration payable for the proposed Permitted Acquisition, when added to the Aggregate Consideration paid or payable for all other Permitted Acquisitions theretofore consummated during the then Fiscal Year of the Obligors’ Agent, does not exceed the Permitted Acquisition Basket Amount for such Fiscal Year; (vi) the Payment Conditions are satisfied (both immediately before and after giving effect to the respective Permitted Acquisition; and (vii) the Obligors’ Agent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a certificate executed by its chief financial officer, certifying to the best of such officer’s knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) required by preceding clauses (iii), (v) and (vi); provided that if on the date a binding contract for an otherwise Permitted Acquisition is entered into the conditions in clauses (i) and (iv) would have been met had such Permitted Acquisition been consummated on such date, then such acquisition shall be deemed a Permitted Acquisition.

(b) At the time of each Permitted Acquisition involving the creation or acquisition of a Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other Equity Interest of any Person, the capital stock or other Equity Interests thereof created or acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition shall be pledged for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements.

150

to any Obligor, together with all other moneys received by the Security Agent hereunder, shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all amounts owing the Security Agent, each Co-Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of the type described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) of the definition of “Secured Obligations”;

(ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), to the payment of all amounts owing to any Agent of the type described in clauses (v) and (vi) of the definition of “Secured Obligations”;

(iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 11.02(e) hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;

(iv) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 11.02(e) hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;

(v) fifth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, an amount equal to the outstanding Tertiary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in Section 11.02(e), with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Tertiary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Tertiary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

(vi) sixth, to the extent proceeds remain after application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, and following the Termination Date, to the relevant Obligor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, (x) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Primary Obligations, Secondary Obligations or Tertiary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations, Secondary Obligations or Tertiary Obligations, as the case may be, (y) “Primary Obligations” shall mean (i) in the case of the Credit Document Obligations, all principal of, premium, fees and interest on, all Loans, all Unpaid Drawings, the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and all Fees and (ii) in the case of the Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations, all amounts due under each Secured Hedging Agreement that

151

is a Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement and each Secured Cash Management Agreement that is a Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement (other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) and similar obligations and liabilities); provided that such Primary Obligations in respect of such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and such Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements shall not exceed an aggregate of £30,000,000 and (z) “Secondary Obligations” shall mean all Secured Obligations other than Primary Obligations and Tertiary Obligations.

(c) When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares (other than in respect of Tertiary Obligations), the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 11.02 only) (i) first, to their Primary Obligations and (ii) second, to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution.

(d) Each of the Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement (which shall only occur after all outstanding Loans under this Agreement and Unpaid Drawings have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Secured Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under this Agreement, and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Secured Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Security Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 11.02(a) hereof.

(e) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Creditors, (y) if to the Hedging Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Hedging Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Hedging Creditors and (z) if to the Cash Management Creditors, directly to the Cash Management Creditors.

(f) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 11.02, the Security Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Representative or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Hedging Creditors and (iii) Cash Management Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent and the

152

Secured Creditor agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Security Agent) of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors, the Other Creditors or the Cash Management Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has received written notice from a Secured Creditor to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Security Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has written notice from a Hedging Creditor or Cash Management Creditor to the contrary, the Security Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secured Hedging Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements are in existence.

(g) It is understood that the Obligors shall remain severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

SECTION 12. The Agents.

12.01. Appointment. The Lenders (including in their capacity as Issuing Lenders and the Lead Arrangers) hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Agents to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agents to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agents may perform any of their respective duties hereunder by or through their officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

12.02. Nature of Duties. (a) The Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agents any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, the Lead Arrangers are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 12.06 and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, the

153

Lead Arrangers shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

12.03. Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Independently and without reliance upon the Agents, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Obligors and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Obligors or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Obligors or the existence or possible existence of any Default or an Event of Default.

12.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.05. Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that such Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by such Agent.

12.06. Indemnification. To the extent any Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders and as if all references to Affiliated Lenders in the definition of Required Lenders were deleted) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments,

154

costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s (or such affiliates’ thereof) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.07. Agents in their Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, each Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender”, “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Lenders”, “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include such Agent in its respective individual capacities. Each Agent and its respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Obligor or any Affiliate of any Obligor (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Obligor or any Affiliate of any Obligor for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

12.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

12.09. Resignation by, and Removal of, the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12.09(a) through (e), the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include DBNY in its capacity as Security Agent hereunder and pursuant to the Security Documents) may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.01(e) then exists, the Borrowers. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Fronting Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Specified Foreign Currency Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Specified Foreign Currency Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below. If the Administrative Agent shall become (and for so long as it remains) subject

155

to any event or proceeding described in clause (iii) of the definition of Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent may be removed by the Borrowers or the Required Lenders; provided that (x) in the case of a removal by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall be contemporaneously replaced as Administrative Agent by one or more of the other Agents or a Person approved by the Required Lenders and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (y) in the case of a removal by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall be contemporaneously replaced by a successor Administrative Agent designated by the Required Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrowers’ approval shall not be required if a Default or an Event of Default then exists).

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrowers’ approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20^th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

156

analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Co-Collateral Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Co-Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

12.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender) authorizes and directs the Security Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Security Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Security Agent, at its option and in its discretion or upon request of a Borrower, to release or subordinate (as the case may be) any Lien granted to or held by the Security Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Total Commitment (and all Letters of Credit) and payment and satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations not due and payable) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than an Obligor unless such respective Obligor is not required to give a security interest in the assets being transferred) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 10.05, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.12) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Security Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to Section 12.10.

157

The exculpatory and indemnification provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13.01 shall apply to any such sub-agent, trustee or third party and to their respective Affiliates to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Security Agent.

It is understood and agreed that the Collection Accounts and Concentration Accounts will not be permitted to be subject to such cash pooling arrangements.

12.11. Lower Ranking Share Pledges. (a) The Lenders (including in their capacity as Issuing Lenders) hereby mandate the Security Agent to execute in their name and for their account, simultaneously with the execution of each Incremental Commitment Agreement, Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement and Qualified Cash Management Agreement (as applicable), any Incremental Security Document and/or Hedging/Cash Management Security Document to the extent necessary to allow each Incremental Lender, Hedging Creditor and Cash Management Creditor to benefit from the Incremental Security Documents and the Hedging/Cash Management Security Document (as applicable).

(b) Specifically, the Secured Creditors in their capacity as beneficiaries of the French Share Pledge, expressly authorize the granting of second ranking pledges and, if applicable, of lower ranking pledges on the French Pledged Shares to the benefit of the Incremental Lenders, the Hedging Creditors and the Cash Management Creditors in accordance with the terms of such lower ranking pledge agreements. Each Incremental Lender (and each Hedging Creditor and Cash Management Creditor in the relevant intercreditor agreement or similar agreement), in its capacity as beneficiary of lower ranking pledge agreements, expressly authorizes the granting of pledges ranking lower than the pledge of which it is the beneficiary on the French Pledged Shares, in favor of other Incremental Lenders, Hedging Creditors and the Cash Management Creditors which would execute Incremental Commitment Agreements, Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and Qualified Cash Management Agreements (as applicable) after the date on which it executed the Incremental Commitment Agreement(s) to which it is a party.

12.12. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Obligor, any Subsidiary thereof, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (a) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

12.13. Co-Collateral Agent. If a Co-Collateral Agent proposes an adjustment or revision to Borrowing Base eligibility standards, advance rates applicable to the Borrowing Base or Reserves, or makes any other proposal regarding a determination or action which may be made by the Co-Collateral Agents pursuant to this Agreement or any Security Document, the other Co-Collateral Agent shall respond to such proposal within three Business Days of its receipt of such written proposal. In the event that the Co-Collateral Agents do not agree on eligibility standards or Reserves or any other action or determination which may be made by the Co-Collateral Agents pursuant to the Agreement or any Security Documents, the Administrative Agent shall nevertheless undertake such action with respect thereto as any Co-Collateral Agent may request (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement); provided that the amount of Reserves established or increased or eligibility reduced by any Co-Collateral Agent in the event of any such disagreement may not exceed £5,000,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding for all such disagreements; and further provided that the Administrative Agent may not, without the prior consent of such Co-Collateral Agent, reduce or eliminate any such Reserves established under this sentence; and further provided that if the Co-Collateral Agents subsequently agree on the establishment or amount of Reserves to be imposed after their initial disagreement, the Reserves so established upon such agreement shall not be subject to the first proviso hereof and shall not be included in calculating the amount of Reserves or eligibility reductions permitted under such first proviso.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of

160

any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Subject to Section 9.01(l), in addition, the Obligors agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable third party administrative, audit and monitoring expenses incurred in connection with the Borrowing Base and determinations thereunder.

(b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental 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 contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Obligor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against and on account of the Secured Obligations and liabilities of the Obligors to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Secured Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Secured Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier communication, facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and mailed, telecopied, transmitted or delivered: if to any Obligor, to such Obligor as set forth on Schedule I hereto; if to any Lender, at its address, facsimile number or electronic mail address specified on Schedule 13.03; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; if to the Facility Agent, at the Notice Office, if to the Security Agent at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx X.

13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that neither Parent Guarantor nor any Borrower may assign or transfer any of their rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders which consent will not be given unless the assignee or transferee is a member of the same “wholly-owned group” as, or an Associate of, each of the Borrowers for the purposes of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under any or all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such

162

Lender had not sold such participation; provided that nothing herein shall require any notice to any Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.02 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.06 as though it were a Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Secured Obligations (or, if the Commitments have terminated, outstanding Secured Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)); provided that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least £5,000,000, in each case in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Secured Obligations (or, if the Commitments have terminated, outstanding Secured Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (t) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (u) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at such Borrower’s reasonable expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (v) any assignment of any Commitment (or related extensions of credit) shall require the consents (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of each Issuing Lender and, unless such assignment is to a Person that will not be a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, the Fronting Lender, (w) the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Lender (unless such assignment is to a Person that will not be a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender) and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Obligors’ Agent shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (x) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (y) each assignment by any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall require a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement with respect to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender unless the Fronting Lender agrees in its sole discretion that the respective assignee shall succeed such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender as a

163

Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender itself, in which case such assignee shall acquire the Specified Foreign Currency Participation of the respective assignor and (z) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15. A Lender may only assign all or a portion of its Commitments hereunder if that assignment would result in at least two Lenders under this Agreement.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Obligors’ Agent), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d) An assignment of rights will only be effective vis-à-vis third parties if the assignment is notified (signifié) to each French Obligor by a bailiff (huissier) in accordance with article 1960 of the French Code Civil.

(e) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06 and any others expressly stated to survive as to such assigning Lender.

13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Obligor and the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Obligor in any case shall entitle any Obligor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Facility Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Secured Obligations hereunder, the Facility Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented

164

in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Secured Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Secured Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Secured Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Secured Obligations of the respective Obligor to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07. Calculations; Computations. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed, and all financial statements shall be prepared and related computations and determinations shall be made, in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if any Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that such Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such terms shall be construed, or computations or determinations made, on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees (other than Drawing Fees) hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (save in the case of amounts denominated in Pounds Sterling or Australian Dollars where a year shall be 365 days) days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor (other than the Borrowers) may be released from, the Guaranty and the relevant Security Documents, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender except that, for the purposes of succeeding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) (but, in the case of such clause (iii), only to the extent relating to such clause (i) or (ii)), a Defaulting Lender shall have a separate vote to the extent otherwise provided therein; provided that for the purposes of succeeding clauses (ii) and (iii) (but, in the case of such clause (iii), only to the extent relating to such clause (ii)), to the extent a Defaulting Lender does not accept or reject in writing to the Administrative Agent a written amendment, waiver or modification proposal on or prior to the expiry of the period of time granted to all Lenders required to consent to such proposal such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the respective written amendment, waiver or modification proposal) (with Secured Obligations being directly affected in the case of the following clauses (i) and (vii)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12(a) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Commitments on the Effective Date), (iv) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments are included on the Effective Date), (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Obligor of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which it is a party, (vi) amend the definition of Supermajority Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Supermajority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments are included on the Effective Date) or (vii) amend the priority of payments set forth in Section 11.02 hereof; provided, further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of the Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (3) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (4) without the consent of the Security Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the

168

Security Agent, (5) without the consent of the Facility Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Facility Agent or (6) without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders and each Co-Collateral Agent, (w) change the definition of the term Borrowing Base or any component definition thereof if, as a result thereof, the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrowers would be increased (provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Agents to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves or to add Inventory or Eligible Credit Card Receivables acquired in a Permitted Acquisition to the Borrowing Base as provided herein), (x) amend the definition of Dominion Period or the definition of Availability Condition, (y) increase the advance rates applicable to the Borrowing Base over those in effect on the Effective Date (it being understood that the establishment, modification or elimination of Reserves and adjustment, establishment and elimination of criteria for Eligible Credit Card Receivables and Eligible Inventory, in each case by the Co-Collateral Agents in accordance with the terms hereof, will not be deemed such an increase in advance rates) or decrease the frequency of Borrowing Base Certificate deliveries required pursuant to Section 9.01(j) or (z) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10.13.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay each outstanding Loan of such Lender and/or cash collateralize its applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit of Outstandings in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b), provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrowers shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above of this Section 13.12, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and each Incremental Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14, as applicable, enter into an Incremental Commitment Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and each such Incremental Lender of such Incremental Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 13.12.

169

13.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 and any others expressly stated to survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Secured Obligations.

13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans and/or participations in outstanding Letters of Credit at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, provided that each Lender shall carry all Loans made to the French Borrower through (i) a credit institution (établissement de crédit) licensed for such purpose by the relevant French banking and financial authorities or (ii) a credit institution (établissement de crédit) or a financial institution (établissement financier), in each case having its registered office in a member state of the European Union or in a state which is a party to the European Economic Area agreement if such credit institution or financial institution has otherwise complied with articles L.511-22 and L.522-23 of the French Code monétaire et financier, as applicable and/or participations in outstanding Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer, unless such transfer has been made in order to comply with the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence).

13.15. Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (including as contemplated by Section 2.13). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. Any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance of the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Incremental Commitment Agreement. The Obligors agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and

170

against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15 (absent gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment)).

13.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior consent of the Obligors’ Agent; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent, Issuing Lender or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the extent required pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to inform the Obligors’ Agent promptly thereof), (b) to the extent required upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (in which case, the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender to the extent permitted, agrees to inform the Obligors’ Agent promptly thereof; although no such notice to the Obligors’ Agent shall be required in connection with ordinary course reviews by any such regulatory authority), (c) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender or any of its Affiliates, (d) to the extent that such information is received by the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender from a third party that is not to its knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to any Obligor, (e) to the extent that such information is independently developed by any of the Agents, any Issuing Lender or Lender without using any such Confidential Information obtained from the Obligors’ Agent or any other Obligor, (f) to the Agents’, any Issuing Lender’s or any Lender’s respective Affiliates and their respective employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such information in connection with the Transaction and are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (g) to potential Lenders, participants or assignees or any potential direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective obligations, in each case who are instructed that they shall be bound by terms no less restrictive than this paragraph (or language substantially similar to this paragraph), (h) to market data collectors in each case, who are instructed that they shall be bound by terms no less restrictive than this paragraph, or (i) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, provided that the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender will, to the extent permitted, promptly provide the Obligors’ Agent with the opportunity to seek a protective order or other measure ensuring confidential treatment of the Confidential Information used to establish such defense.

(b) The Obligors hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may share with any of its Affiliates, and such Affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to any Obligor (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of any Obligor), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

13.17. Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the

171

Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Obligors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Obligors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.18. Judgment Currency. (a) The Obligors’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the respective Available Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, the respective Issuing Lender or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Obligor in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by a nationally known third party dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

13.19. European Monetary Union. The following provisions of this Section 13.19 shall come into effect on and from the date on which the United Kingdom becomes a Participating Member State. Each obligation under this Agreement which has been denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be redenominated into Euros in accordance with the relevant EMU Legislation. However, if and to the extent that the relevant EMU Legislation provides that an amount which is denominated in Pounds Sterling can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or in that national currency unit, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any amount denominated or owing in Pounds Sterling hereunder either in Euros or in Pounds Sterling. Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any relevant EMU Legislation, (i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Pounds Sterling shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Euros as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify and (ii) except as expressly provided in

172

this Section 13.19, this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to Euros in the United Kingdom, provided that this Section 13.19 shall not reduce or increase any actual or contingent liability arising under this Agreement.

13.20. Australian Code of Banking Practice. The parties agree that the Australian Code of Banking Practice does not apply to this Agreement and the transactions in connection with it.

13.21. Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements. On or prior to the date on which any Obligor shall enter into any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement, the Obligors’ Agent shall, if it wishes that the respective Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement be treated as pari passu with the Credit Document Obligations with respect to the priority of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth Section 11.02, notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether (x) such Secured Hedging Agreement is to be a “Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement” or (y) such Secured Cash Management Agreement is to be a “Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement”. If the Obligors’ Agent shall fail to deliver such notice within the time period described above, such Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement shall not constitute a Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be. Each Borrower, each Guarantor and the Security Agent, each Hedging Creditor (pursuant to the relevant intercreditor agreement) and each Cash Management Creditor (pursuant to the relevant intercreditor agreement) (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent such additional Security Documents and/or amendments to the Security Documents which are necessary to ensure that all Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements are secured by each relevant Security Document (the “Hedging/Cash Management Security Documents”). The parties hereto understand and agree that the provisions of this Section 13.21 are made for the benefit of the Hedging Creditors and the Cash Management Creditors which become parties to Secured Hedging Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, and agree that any amendments or modifications to the provisions of this Section 13.21 shall not be effective with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, entered into prior to the date of respective amendment or modification of this Section 13.21 (without the written consent of the relevant parties thereto).

Notwithstanding any such designation of a Secured Hedging Agreement as a Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or a Secured Cash Management Agreement as a Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement, no provider or holder of any such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider of such agreements or the obligations owing thereunder, nor shall their consent be required (other than in their capacities as a Lender to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, including without limitation, as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or guarantors. The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure

173

owing by the Obligors under any such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement and/or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement or the amount of any Hedge Product Reserve and/or Bank Product Reserve, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable Secured Party (or Affiliate thereof) and the applicable Obligor party to such agreement for the calculation thereof. Such Secured Party (or Affiliate thereof) party to any such Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement agrees to provide the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents with the maximum exposure under such agreements at the time of such designation as a Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement (and the Co-Collateral Agents shall reserve for such amounts). Such Secured Party (or Affiliate thereof) party to any Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement agrees to provide the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents with the calculations of all such exposures and reserves, if any, at such times as the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents shall reasonably request, and in any event, at least weekly (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents). The applicable Secured Party (or Affiliate thereof) understands and agrees that the amount of exposures secured under any such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement and/or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement shall be limited (as Primary Obligations) to the exposures as notified pursuant to the preceding two sentences.

13.22. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Obligor agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Obligor, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on the other. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, each Obligor, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Obligor, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Obligor, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Obligor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Obligor, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that such Obligor has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Obligor agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Obligor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

13.23. Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Obligors shall be required to take the actions (if any) specified in Schedule 13.23

174

as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time periods set forth in Schedule 13.23. The provisions of Schedule 13.23 shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set forth herein in its entirety.

All conditions precedent, representations and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Credit Documents), provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Effective Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.23 and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true immediately after the actions required to be taken by this Section 13.23 have been taken (or were required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by the Obligors to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this Section 13.23 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in this Section 13.23 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.23, and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time periods required above, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 14. Nature of Obligations.

14.01. Nature of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that all Secured Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Loans, Letters of Credit and other Secured Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Credit Document (including, without limitation, all fees, indemnities, taxes and other Secured Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the several direct obligations of each of the Obligors subject to the Agreed Security Principles. In addition to the direct (and several) obligations of the Obligors with respect to Obligations as described above, all such Secured Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Guaranty.

14.02. Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Obligor with respect to the Secured Obligations are independent of the Secured Obligations of each other Obligor under the Guaranty of such Secured Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Obligor, whether or not any other Obligor is joined in any such action or actions. Each Obligor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Obligor or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Obligor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Obligor.

175

14.03. Authorization. Each of the Obligors authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Credit Documents:

(a) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Obligor or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(b) release or substitute any other Obligor, endorsers, or other obligors;

(c) settle or compromise any of the Secured Obligations of any other Obligor, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(d) apply any sums paid by any other Obligor or any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Obligor or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Obligor or other Person remain unpaid; and/or

(e) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Obligor or any other Person.

14.04. Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Obligor, or any other Obligor or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Secured Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the obligations of the respective Obligors hereunder.

14.05. Contribution; Subrogation. No Obligor shall exercise any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Obligor as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until (i) the Total Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash; provided that so long as no Event of Default exists (it being understood solely for this purposes an Event of Default will not exist if any Obligor makes the full payment owing by another Obligor), the foregoing shall not restrict the right of any Obligor to request reimbursement from any other Obligor in respect of payments made by it hereunder in respect of such other Obligor’s obligations hereunder or the right of such other Obligor to repay the party requesting repayment.

14.06. Waiver. Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders to (i) proceed against any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Security Agent’s, any Issuing Lender’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or on or

176

arising out of any defense of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.

14.07. Lender’s Rights and Obligations. The obligations of each Issuing Lender and Lender under this Agreement bind each of them severally. Failure by an Issuing Lender or Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement does not affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement. No Issuing Lender or Lender is responsible for the obligations of any other Issuing Lender or Lender under this Agreement. The rights, powers and remedies of each Issuing Lender and Lender in connection with this Agreement are separate and independent rights, powers and remedies and any debt arising under this Agreement to or for the account of an Issuing Lender or Lender from an Obligor is a separate and independent debt.

SECTION 15. Loans; Intra-Lender Issues.

15.01. Specified Foreign Currency Participations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Loans which are denominated in Australian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros (each, a “Specified Foreign Currency Loan”) shall be made solely by the Lenders (including the Fronting Lender) who are not Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders. Subject to Section 15.07, each Lender acceptable to the Fronting Lender (in its sole discretion) that does not have Specified Foreign Currency Funding Capacity (a “Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender”) at the time such Lender becomes a “Lender” hereunder shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire and shall be deemed to irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire from the Fronting Lender, and the Fronting Lender shall sell and be deemed to sell to each such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, without recourse or any representation or warranty whatsoever, an undivided interest and participation (a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation”) in each Loan which is a Specified Foreign Currency Loan funded by the Fronting Lender in an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Percentage of the Borrowing that includes such Loan (it being understood and agreed that whether or not a Person should become a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall be made by the Administrative Agent in it sole discretion). Such purchase and sale of a Specified Foreign Currency Participation shall be deemed to occur automatically upon the making of a Specified Foreign Currency Loan by the Fronting Lender, without any further notice to any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender. The purchase price payable by each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender for each Specified Foreign Currency Participation purchased by it from the Fronting Lender shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Specified Foreign Currency Participation (i.e., the product of (i) the amount of the Borrowing that includes the relevant Loan and (ii) such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Percentage), and such purchase price shall be payable by each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender in accordance with the settlement procedure set forth in Section 15.02. The Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall record on their books the amount of the Loans made by the Fronting Lender and each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Specified Foreign Currency Participation and funded Specified Foreign Currency Participation

177

therein, all payments in respect thereof and interest accrued thereon and all payments made by and to each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender pursuant to this Section 15.01. This Section 15 shall not affect the obligations of any Lender that does not have Specified Foreign Currency Funding Capacity and that is not a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to make Specified Foreign Currency Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement.

15.02. Settlement Procedures for Specified Foreign Currency Participations. Each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Specified Foreign Currency Participation in the Specified Foreign Currency Loans shall be in an amount equal to its Percentage of all such Specified Foreign Currency Loans. However, in order to facilitate the administration of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made by the Fronting Lender and the Specified Foreign Currency Participations, settlement among the Fronting Lender and the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders with regard to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders’ Specified Foreign Currency Participations shall take place in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Fronting Lender and the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders shall settle (a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement”) by payments in respect of the Specified Foreign Currency Participations as follows: So long as any Specified Foreign Currency Loans are outstanding, Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlements shall be effected upon the request of the Fronting Lender through the Administrative Agent on such Business Days as requested by the Fronting Lender and as the Administrative Agent shall specify by a notice by telecopy, telephone or similar form of notice to each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender requesting such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement (each such date on which a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement occurs herein called a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date”), such notice to be delivered no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the requested Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date; provided that the Fronting Lender shall have the option but not the obligation to request a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date and, in any event, shall not request a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided further, that if (x) such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof, (y) no Secured Obligations have yet been declared due and payable under Section 11.01 and (z) the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of such cure or waiver, all prior to the Administrative Agent’s giving notice to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders of the first Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date under this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent shall not give notice to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders of a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date based upon such cured or waived Event of Default. If on any Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date the total principal amount of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made or deemed made by the Fronting Lender during the period ending on (but excluding) such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date and commencing on (and including) the immediately preceding Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date (or the Effective Date in the case of the period ending on the first Specified Foreign Currency

178

Participation Settlement Date) (each such period herein called a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Period”) is greater than the principal amount of Specified Foreign Currency Loans repaid during such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Period to the Fronting Lender, each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall pay to the Fronting Lender (through the Administrative Agent), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date, an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s ratable share of the amount of such excess. If in any Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Period the outstanding principal amount of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans repaid to the Fronting Lender in such period exceeds the total principal amount of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made or deemed made by the Fronting Lender during such period, the Fronting Lender shall pay to each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender (through the Administrative Agent) on such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s ratable share of such excess. Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlements in respect of Specified Foreign Currency Loans shall be made in the respective Available Currency in which such Specified Foreign Currency Loan was funded on the Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date for such Specified Foreign Currency Loans.

(b) If any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender fails to pay to the Fronting Lender on any Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date the full amount required to be paid by such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender on such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date in respect of such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Specified Foreign Currency Participation (such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount”) with the Fronting Lender, the Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover such unpaid amount from such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, together with interest thereon (in the same respective currency or currencies as the relevant Specified Foreign Currency Loans) at the relevant Euro Rate plus 2.00%. Without limiting the Fronting Lender’s rights to recover from any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender any unpaid Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount payable by such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise payable to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s unpaid Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount owing to the Fronting Lender and apply such withheld amount to the payment of any unpaid Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount owing by such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender.

15.03. Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to purchase from the Fronting Lender a participation in each Specified Foreign Currency Loan made by the Fronting Lender and to make payments to the Fronting Lender with respect to such participation, in each case as provided herein, shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances:

179

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or of any Loans, against the Borrowers or any other Obligor;

(b) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers or any other Obligor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Foreign Currency Loans, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions;

(d) the surrender or impairment of any security for any Specified Foreign Currency Loans;

(e) the occurrence of any Default or an Event of Default;

(f) the commencement or pendency of any events specified in Section 11.01(e), in respect of any Obligor or other Group Member or any other Person; or

(g) the failure to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 or 7.

15.04. Recovery or Avoidance of Payments. In the event any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Obligor received by the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender with respect to any Specified Foreign Currency Loan made by the Fronting Lender is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender in connection with any insolvency proceeding or due to any mistake of law or fact, each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall, upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Fronting Lender (through the Administrative Agent) such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Percentage of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate and in the currency required to be paid by the Fronting Lender or the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

15.05. Indemnification by Lenders. Each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender agrees to indemnify the Fronting Lender (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Credit Document) ratably for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Fronting Lender in any way relating to or arising out of any Specified Foreign Currency Loans or any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Lender in connection therewith; provided that no Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the foregoing, each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender agrees to reimburse the Fronting Lender promptly upon demand for such Participating Specified Foreign

180

Currency Lender’s ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrowers to the Fronting Lender in respect of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans to the extent that the Fronting Lender is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. The agreement contained in this Section 15.05 shall survive payment in full of all Specified Foreign Currency Loans.

15.06. Specified Foreign Currency Loan Participation Fee. In consideration for each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s participation in the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made by the Fronting Lender, the Fronting Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, as and when the Fronting Lender receives payment of interest on its Specified Foreign Currency Loans, a fee (the “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on such Specified Foreign Currency Loans minus 0.25% on the unfunded Specified Foreign Currency Participation of such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender in such Specified Foreign Currency Loans of the Fronting Lender. The Specified Foreign Currency Participation Fee in respect of any unfunded Specified Foreign Currency Participation in a Specified Foreign Currency Loan shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in the Available Currency in which the respective Specified Foreign Currency Loan was funded when interest on such Specified Foreign Currency Loan is received by the Fronting Lender. If the Fronting Lender does not receive payment in full of such interest, the Specified Foreign Currency Participation Fee in respect of the unfunded Specified Foreign Currency Participation in such Specified Foreign Currency Loans shall be reduced proportionately. Any amounts payable under this Section 15.06 by the Administrative Agent to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders shall be paid in the Available Currency in which the respective Specified Foreign Currency Loan was funded (or, if different, the currency in which such interest payments are actually received).

15.07. Defaulting Lenders; etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (x) no Lender may become a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender at any time it is a Defaulting Lender, and (y) if any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender at any time becomes a Defaulting Lender or if the Fronting Lender reasonably determines that the credit quality of any then existing Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender has suffered a material adverse change, the Fronting Lender shall have the right to, by notice to the affected Lender, (i) terminate such Lender’s status as a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender for Loans and (ii) declare a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date to occur with respect to such affected Lender.

181

SECTION 16. Parallel Debt and Special Appointment of Security Agent.

16.01. Parallel Debt owed to Security Agent. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Security Agent as creditor in its own right and not as a representative of the other Secured Creditors amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by that Obligor to any Secured Creditor under any Credit Document as and when those amounts are due for payment under the relevant Credit Document.

(b) Each Obligor and the Security Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Obligor under paragraph (a) are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of that Obligor to any Secured Creditor under any Credit Document (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Obligor is liable under paragraph (a) (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:

(i) the Parallel Debt of each Obligor shall be decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and

(ii) the Corresponding Debt of each Obligor shall be decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged.

(c) The Security Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust. The security granted under the Credit Documents to the Security Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Security Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held on trust.

(d) All monies received or recovered by the Security Agent pursuant to this Section 16.01, and all amounts received or recovered by the Security Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) Without limiting or affecting the Security Agent’s rights against the Obligors (whether under Section 16.01 or under any other provision of the Credit Documents), each Obligor acknowledges that:

(i) nothing in this Section 16.01 shall impose any obligation on the Security Agent to advance any sum to any Obligor or otherwise under any Credit Document, except in its capacity as Lender; and

(ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit Document, the Security Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.

16.02. Appointment of Security Agent for German Security. (a) For the purposes of German Security (as defined below) in addition to the provisions set out in

182

Section 12.10, the specific provisions set out in paragraphs (b) to (f) of this Section 16.02 shall prevail.

(b) With respect to German Security (where “German Security” means any security interest created under the Security Documents which are governed by German law), the Security Agent shall in case of German Security constituted by non–accessory (nicht akzessorische) security interests, hold, administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release such German Security in its own name, but for the account of the Secured Creditors.

(c) In the case of German Security constituted by accessory (akzessorische) security interests created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments, hold (with regard to its own rights under Section 16.01), administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release such German Security in the name of and for and on behalf of the Secured Creditors and in its own name on the basis of the abstract acknowledgement of indebtedness pursuant to Section 16.01, but in each case for the account of the Secured Creditors.

(d) For the purposes of performing its rights and obligations as Security Agent under any accessory (akzessorische) German Security, each Secured Creditor hereby authorises the Security Agent to act as its agent (Stellvertreter), and releases the Security Agent from the restrictions imposed by Section 181 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). At the request of the Security Agent, each Secured Creditor shall provide the Security Agent with a separate written power of attorney (Spezialvollmacht) for the purposes of executing any relevant agreements and documents on their behalf. Each Secured Creditor hereby ratifies and approves all acts previously done by the Security Agent on such Secured Creditor’s behalf.

(e) The Security Agent accepts its appointment as administrator of the German Security on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement and the Secured Creditor, the Security Agent and all other parties to this Agreement agree that, in relation to the German Security, no Secured Creditor shall exercise any independent power to enforce any German Security or take any other action in relation to the enforcement of the German Security, or make or receive any declarations in relation thereto.

(f) Each Secured Creditor hereby instructs the Security Agent (with the right of sub-delegation) to enter into any documents evidencing German Security and to make and accept all declarations and take all actions it considers necessary or useful in connection with any German Security on behalf of such Secured Creditor. The Security Agent shall further be entitled to rescind, release, amend and/or execute new and different documents securing the German Security.

SECTION 17. Guaranty.

17.01. Guaranty. (a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as surety to the Secured Creditors the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations.

Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Secured Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Secured Obligations against such Guarantor

183

without proceeding against any Obligor, or against any security for the Secured Obligations, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of the Secured Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt payment and performance and not of collection.

(b) Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Secured Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrowers or any other Obligor upon the occurrence in respect of the Borrowers or any other Obligor of any of the events specified in Section 11.01(e) of this Agreement, and unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Secured Obligations to the Secured Creditors, or order, on demand, subject in each case to the applicable guaranty limitations set forth below.

17.02. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, joint and several, and unconditional and is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of any Borrower whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Obligor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Obligor or any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor or of any other party as to the Secured Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Obligor, (e) the failure of the Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty, (f) any payment made to any Secured Creditor on the indebtedness which any Secured Creditor repays any Obligor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (g) any action or inaction by the Secured Creditors as contemplated in Section 17.05 hereof or (h) any invalidity, rescission, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or of any security therefor.

17.03. Obligations of Guarantors Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Obligor, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Obligor and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Obligor be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Obligor or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Obligor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

17.04. Waivers by Guarantors. (a) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence, creation or incurrence of any new or additional liability to which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by

184

the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Obligor) and each Guarantor further hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice or proof of reliance by any Secured Creditor upon this Guaranty, and the Secured Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty.

(b) Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Secured Creditors to: (i) proceed against any Obligor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Obligor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other party; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Secured Creditors’ power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Obligor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any Obligor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Obligor other than payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. The Secured Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral serving as security held by the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or the other Secured Creditors by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by Applicable Law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Creditors may have against any Obligor or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Obligor, any other guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other party or any security.

(c) Each Guarantor has knowledge and assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Obligor’s financial condition, affairs and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has adequate means to obtain from each Obligor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and each Obligor’s ability to pay and perform its respective Secured Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Guaranty is in effect. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Secured Creditors shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of any Obligor or any other Guarantor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of any Obligor or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Secured Creditor at any time, whether or not such Secured Creditor knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the

185

Secured Obligations hereunder and (y) the Secured Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding any of the aforementioned circumstances or risks.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Creditor nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (a) to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Obligor under the Credit Documents or the obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that such Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which such Guarantor hereby waives.

(e) Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in Section 17.03 and in this Section 17.04 is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any Applicable Law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

17.05. Rights of Secured Creditors. Subject to Section 17.04, any Secured Creditor may (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations or liabilities of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change, increase or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon or the principal amount thereof), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Secured Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, accelerated, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Secured Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, impair, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property or other collateral by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Secured Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Obligor, any other Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, any other guarantor of the Borrowers or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, other guarantors, any Obligor or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Secured Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to

186

the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Obligor to creditors of such Obligor other than the Secured Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Obligor to the Secured Creditors regardless of what liabilities of such Obligor remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Credit Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements;

(h) act or fail to act in any manner which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation against any Obligor to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty; and/or

(i) take any other action or omit to take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any action or omission whatsoever that might otherwise vary the risk of such Guarantor or constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against such Guarantor).

No invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Secured Obligations or of any security or guarantee therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.

17.06. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Secured Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Secured Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Obligor or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

187

17.07. Subordination of Indebtedness Held by Guarantors. Any indebtedness of any Obligor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of such Obligor to the Secured Creditors; and such indebtedness of such Obligor to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Creditors and be paid over to the Secured Creditors on account of the indebtedness of such Obligor to the Secured Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any indebtedness of any Obligor to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Creditors to be credited and applied upon the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or, if the Credit Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Secured Creditors as collateral security for any Secured Obligations thereafter existing.

17.08. Guaranty Enforceable by Administrative Agent or Security Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Guaranty, the Secured Creditors agree (by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that the Guaranty in this Section 17 may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty or to realize upon the security to be granted by the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty and the Security Documents. The Secured Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder). It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 17.08 is among and solely for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and that, if the Required Lenders so agree (without requiring the consent of any Guarantor), this Guaranty may be directly enforced by any Secured Creditor.

17.09. Expenses. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and the protection of the Secured Creditors’ rights hereunder and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including in-house counsel) employed by the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Creditor).

188

17.10. Benefit and Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their successors and assigns.

17.11. Set Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in this Agreement), each Secured Creditor is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Secured Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Secured Creditor under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 17.11 are subject to the sharing provisions set forth in Section 13.06 of this Agreement.

17.12. Reinstatement. If any claim is ever made upon any Secured Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including, without limitation, any Obligor), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Note or any other instrument evidencing any liability of any Obligor, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

17.13. Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Secured Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Secured Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Secured Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of the Secured Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Secured Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit

189

Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash and the Total Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 17.13 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Secured Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 17.13: (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Secured Obligations arising under this Guaranty) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Agreement pursuant to Section 18 of this Agreement shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 17.13, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 17.13, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Secured Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.

17.14. Limitations for US Guarantors. This Section 17.14 shall apply to any guarantee (hereafter a “United States Guarantee”) which is granted by any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State or territory thereof (a “US Guarantor”). Each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Guaranty in this Section 17) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act of any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Guaranty in this Section 17) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Secured Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement

190

providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Secured Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

17.15. Limitations for French Guarantors. (a) The obligations and liabilities of any Obligor incorporated in France under the Credit Documents shall not include any obligation or liability which if incurred would (i) constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of article L. 241-3 or L. 242-6 of the French Code de commerce or (ii) a violation of article L.225-216 of the French Code de commerce.

(b) The obligations and liabilities of any French Obligor under any Credit Document for the Secured Obligations of any guaranteed party which is not a Subsidiary of such French Obligor shall be limited, at any time, to an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts borrowed (directly or indirectly) under this Agreement by such guaranteed party to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent to such French Obligor under intercompany loan arrangements and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by such French Obligor under the relevant Credit Document, it being specified that any payment made by such French Guarantor under Section 17.01 in respect of the obligations of such guaranteed party shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intercompany loans due by such French Guarantor under the intercompany loan arrangements referred to above.

(c) The obligations and liabilities of each French Obligor under any Credit Document for the Secured Obligations of any guaranteed party which is its Subsidiary shall not, in relation to amounts due by such Obligor as Borrower, be limited and shall therefore cover all amounts due by such guaranteed party as Borrower and shall cover, in relation to amounts due by such Obligor as Guarantor, all amounts due by such Obligor as Guarantor subject to the limitations set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above as if the same applied mutatis mutandis to such Obligor. It is understood that the limitations set forth in this Section 17.15 shall also apply to such French Obligor’s obligations under the Guaranty to repay any amounts owed under Sections 13.01, 13.02 and 14.05 which are not attributable to such Obligor.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, it is acknowledged that such French Obligor is not acting jointly and severally with the other Obligors and shall not be considered as “co-débiteur solidaire” as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee or any obligation under any Credit Document.

17.16. Limitations for German Guarantors. (a) The restrictions in this Section 17.16 shall apply to any guarantee and indemnity (hereinafter the “Guarantee”) granted by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Germany as a limited liability company (“GmbH”) (a “German Guarantor”) to secure liabilities of its direct or indirect shareholder(s) (upstream) or an entity affiliated with such shareholder (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (cross-stream) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt purposes any direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Guarantor). It is understood and agreed that the limitations set forth in this Section 17.16 shall also apply to any German Obligor’s obligations under the Guaranty to repay any amounts owed under Sections 13.01, 13.02 and 14.05 which are not attributable to such Obligor.

191

(b) The restrictions in this Section 17.16 shall not apply to the extent the German Guarantor secures any indebtedness under any Credit Documents in respect of (i) loans to the extent they are on-lent or otherwise (directly or indirectly) passed on to the relevant German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent or otherwise passed on is not repaid or (ii) bank guarantees or letters of credit that are issued under the Credit Documents for the benefit of any of the creditors of the German Guarantor or the German Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or any other benefit granted under the Credit Documents.

17.16.1 Restrictions on Payment. (a) The parties to this Agreement agree that if payment under the Guarantee or enforcement of the Guarantee under the Security Documents to which a German Guarantor is a party would (i) cause the amount of a German Guarantor’s net assets, as calculated pursuant to Section 17.16.2 (Net Assets) below, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital), or (ii) increase an existing shortage of its registered share capital (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz), in each case in violation of section 30 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) (“GmbHG”) (such events are hereinafter referred to as a “Capital Impairment”), then the Secured Creditors shall, subject to paragraphs (b) to (c) below, demand such payment or enforcement from such German Guarantor only to the extent such Capital Impairment would not occur.

(b) If the relevant German Guarantor does not notify the Administrative Agent in writing (the “Management Notification”) within 10 (ten) Business Days after the Administrative Agent notified such German Guarantor of its intention to demand payment under the Guarantee that a Capital Impairment would occur (setting out in reasonable detail to what extent a Capital Impairment would occur), then the restrictions set out in paragraph (a) above shall not apply.

(c) If the relevant German Guarantor does not provide an Auditors’ Determination (as defined in Section 17.16.4 (Auditors’ Determination) below) within 30 (thirty) Business Days from the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Management Notification then the restrictions set out in paragraph (a) above shall not apply and the Administrative Agent shall not be obliged to assign or make available to the German Guarantor any net proceeds realized.

17.16.2 Net Assets. The calculation of net assets (the “Net Assets”) shall only take into account the sum of the values of the assets of the relevant German Guarantor determined in accordance with applicable law and court decisions and, if there is no positive going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose) based on the lower of book value (Buchwert) and liquidation value (Liquidationswert) (consisting of all assets which correspond to those items listed in section 266 subsection (2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) “HGB”) less the relevant German Guarantor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to those items listed in accordance with section 266 subsection (3) B, C and D HGB).

For the purposes of calculating the Net Assets, the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:

192

(a) the amount of any increase in the registered share capital of the relevant German Guarantor which was carried out after the relevant German Guarantor became a party to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be deducted from the amount of the registered share capital of the relevant German Guarantor;

(b) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the relevant German Guarantor in breach of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.

17.16.3 Mitigation. (a) The relevant German Guarantor shall realize, to the extent legally permitted and commercially reasonable in a situation where it does not have sufficient Net Assets to maintain its registered share capital, all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets if such asset is not necessary for the German Guarantor’s business (betriebsnotwendig).

(b) The limitations on demanding payment under this Guarantee set out in this Section 17.16 shall not apply if and to the extent that the German Guarantor has not taken a specific measure which the Security Agent has reasonably requested and which the relevant German Guarantor is legally permitted to take in order to avoid demanding payment under the Guarantee causing a Capital Impairment of the relevant German Guarantor (including without limitation, setting off-claims), provided that it is commercially justifiable to take such measures.

17.16.4 Auditors’ Determination. (a) If the relevant German Guarantor claims that a Capital Impairment would occur on payment under this Guarantee, the German Guarantor may (at its own cost and expense) arrange for the preparation of a balance sheet by a firm of recognized auditors (the “Auditors”) in order to have such Auditors determine whether (and, if so, to what extent) any payment under this Guarantee would cause a Capital Impairment (the “Auditors’ Determination”).

(b) The Auditors’ Determination shall be prepared, taking into account the adjustments set out in Section 17.16.2 (Net Assets) above, by applying the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) based on the same principles and evaluation methods as constantly applied by the relevant German Guarantor in the preparation of its financial statements, in particular in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet, and taking into consideration applicable court rulings of German courts. Subject to Section 17.6.6 (No waiver) below, such Auditors’ Determination shall be binding on the relevant German Guarantor and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Even if the relevant German Guarantor arranges for the preparation of an Auditors’ Determination, the relevant German Guarantor’s obligations under the mitigation provisions set out in Section 17.16.3 (Mitigation) above shall continue to exist.

193

17.16.5 Improvement of Financial Condition. If, after it has been provided with an Auditors’ Determination which prevented it from demanding any or only partial payment under this Guarantee, the Administrative Agent has reasonable grounds to believe that the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor as set out in the Auditors’ Determination has substantially improved (in particular, if the relevant German Guarantor has taken any action in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out in Section 17.16.3 (Mitigation) above), the Administrative Agent may, at the relevant German Guarantor’s cost and expense, arrange for the preparation of an updated balance sheet of the relevant German Guarantor by applying the same principles that were used for the preparation of the Auditors’ Determination by the Auditors who prepared the Auditors’ Determination pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 17.16.4 (Auditors’ Determination) above in order for such Auditors to determine whether (and, if so, to what extent) the situation leading to a Capital Impairment has been cured as a result of the improvement of the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor. The Administrative Agent may demand payment under this Guarantee to the extent that the Auditors determine that the Capital Impairment has been cured.

17.16.6 Reimbursement. Any managing director (Geschäftsführer) of the German Guarantor may request reimbursement from the Finance Parties (pro rata) for such net proceeds received by the relevant Finance Party from the realisation of the security and/or guarantee provided hereunder if such managing director is required to reimburse the German Guarantor pursuant to section 64, sentence 3 GmbHG due to a final non-appealable (rechtskräftig) court decision (other than a court decision based on omission (Versäumnisurteil) or recognisance (Anerkenntnis)) which states that either the granting or the enforcement of any Security Document or a payment under this Guarantee led to the illiquidity (Zahlungsunfähigkeit) of the German Guarantor, such request to be made within one month from the date of service (Zustellung) on such managing director the German Guarantor of such final court decision.

17.16.7 No waiver. Notwithstanding any limitation under this Guarantee, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to further pursue in court payment claims under this Guarantee granted by the respective German Guarantor if it disagrees with the Auditor’s Determination by claiming in court that demanding payment under the German Guarantee against the relevant German Guarantor does not violate §§ 30, 31 GmbHG and would not constitute an unlawful payment within the meaning of § 64 sentence 3 GmbHG. The agreement of the Administrative Agent to abstain from demanding any or part of the payment under this Guarantee in accordance with the provisions above shall constitute neither a waiver (Verzicht) of any right granted under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Creditor nor a definite defense (Einwendung) of the relevant German Guarantor against any of the guaranteed obligations.

17.16.8 GmbH & Co KG. The aforementioned provisions shall apply to a limited partnership with a limited liability company as its general partner (GmbH & Co. KG) mutatis mutandis and all references to net assets shall be construed as a reference to the aggregated net assets of the general partner and the limited partnership.

194

17.17. Limitations for Spanish Guarantors. (a)The obligations and liabilities of any Obligor incorporated in Spain under the Guaranty shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, it would result in such guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of: (i) Article 81 of the Spanish Joint Stock Company Law (Ley de Sociedades Anonimas); or (ii) Article 40.5 of the Spanish Limited Liabilities Company Law (Ley de Sociedades de Responsabilidad Limitada), as applicable.

(b) The obligations and liabilities of any Spanish Obligor under the any Credit Document (except any Security Document executed by such Spanish Obligor) shall further be limited to the higher of: (i) the net assets (“patrimonio neto”) calculated in respect of the latest financial statements of the Spanish Obligor calculated in accordance with the applicable law which have been filed with the commercial registry; (ii) the amounts borrowed directly by the Spanish Obligor plus any amounts borrowed under this Agreement by other Borrowers and on-lent to the Spanish Borrower under any intercompany finance agreement; (iii) the amount that would cause the Spanish Obligor to reduce its share capital below the statutory legal amount for the valid incorporation under Spanish law of such Spanish Obligor; and (iv) the amount that would cause the Spanish Obligor to fall in an event which could force it to file a voluntary insolvency petition based on current insolvency (“insolvencia actual”).

17.18. Payments. All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Borrowers under Sections 5.03 and 5.04 of this Agreement and shall be made in accordance with Section 13.18.

17.19. Application of Payments for Australian Guarantors.

(a) Suspense Account. A Secured Creditor may place in a suspense account any payment it receives from an Australian Guarantor for as long as it thinks prudent and need not apply it towards satisfying the Secured Obligations or other money payable under this Guaranty.

(b) Remaining Money. Each Secured Creditor agrees to pay any money remaining after the Secured Obligations are discharged either to the relevant Australian Guarantor (which the Secured Creditor may do by paying it into an account in the relevant Australian Guarantor’s name) or to another person entitled to it. In doing so, it does not incur any liability to the Australian Guarantor. A Secured Creditor is not required to pay an Australian Guarantor interest on any money remaining after the Secured Obligations are discharged.

(c) Credit from Date of Receipt. An Australian Guarantor is only credited with money from the date the Secured Creditor actually receives it.

17.20. Additional Guarantors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary that is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to Collateral and Guaranty Requirements shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x) executing and delivering a counterpart hereof to the Administrative Agent or executing a Joinder Agreement

195

substantially in the form of Exhibit I and delivering same to the Administrative Agent, in each case as may be requested by (and in form and substance satisfactory to) the Administrative Agent and (y) taking all actions as specified in this Guaranty and the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements as would have been taken by such Guarantor had it been an original party to this Guaranty, in each case with all documents and actions required to be taken above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

17.21. Right to prove.

(a) Appointment of Attorneys. Each Australian Guarantor irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and each of its Authorized Officers individually as its attorney and agrees to formally approve all action taken by an attorney under Section 17.20(b).

(b) Attorneys’ Powers. Each attorney may:

(i) do anything which the Australian Guarantor may lawfully do to exercise its right of proof after an insolvency event occurs in respect of an Australian Borrower or any other Australian Guarantor in connection with a matter not connected with its rights as “Guarantor” under this Guaranty. (These things may be done in the Australian Guarantor’s name or the attorney’s name and they include signing and delivering documents, taking part in legal proceedings and receiving any dividend arising out of the right of proof);

(ii) delegate its powers (including this power) and may revoke a delegation; and

(iii) exercise its powers even if this involves a conflict of duty and even if it has a personal interest in doing so.

(c) Application of Insolvency Dividends. The attorney need not account to the relevant Australian Guarantor for any dividend received on exercising the right of proof under Section 17.20(b)(i) except to the extent that any dividend remains after the Secured Creditors have received all of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty.

17.22. Secured Money Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the other Credit Documents, and solely for purposes of this Guaranty and the obligations guaranteed by the Obligors (other than the Australian Obligors) hereunder, the definition of Secured Obligations shall assume that the Security Documents governed by Australian law and New York law secure the “Secured Obligations” (as defined in a manner consistent with the Security Documents governed by a law other than that of Australia) of the Australian Obligors instead of the “Secured Money” (as defined in the applicable Security Documents) of the Australian Obligors.

SECTION 18. Release of Liens and Guaranties. A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents and all security interests in the Collateral of such Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary

196

of either Parent Guarantor; provided that no Borrower shall be released; provided further that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Obligor of any Collateral (other than a sale or transfer of Collateral to any Obligor, unless the respective transferee is not required to grant a security interest upon the Collateral so transferred to it) that is permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted under any Credit Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 13.12 of this Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Security Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Obligor, at such Obligor’s expense, all documents that such Obligor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Security Agent.

SECTION 19. Security Trust Provisions. Each party hereto agrees and consents to the provisions set forth in Schedule 19 attached hereto.
