follows:
Section 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.
1.01 Commitments.
(a) Tranche B-1 Term Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Lender with a Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan in
Dollars (each, a “Tranche B-1 Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Tranche B-1 Term
Loans”) to the U.S. Borrower on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date in an amount equal to its
Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment. Except as hereinafter provided, Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall, at
the option of the U.S. Borrower, be incurred and maintained as one or more Borrowings of Base Rate
Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided that unless the Administrative Agent has determined
that the Syndication Date has occurred, no more than four Borrowings of Tranche B-1 Term Loans to
be maintained as Eurodollar Loans may be incurred prior to the 30th day after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date (or, if later, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the fourth
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans referred to below), each of which Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may
only have an Interest Period of one week, and the first of which Borrowings may be made no earlier
than the third Business Day, and no later than the fifth Business Day, after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date, the second of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest

closing fee (the “Tranche B-1 Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal
amount of such Lender’s Tranche B-1 Term Loan made on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. Such
Tranche B-1 Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Amendment No.
3 Effective Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and such Tranche B-1 Closing Fee
shall be netted against the Tranche B-1 Term Loans made by such Lender.
(b) Tranche C-1 Term Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Tranche C-1 Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make a term loan in Dollars (each, a
"Tranche C-1 Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Tranche C-1 Term Loans”) to the
Bermuda Borrower on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date in an amount equal to its Tranche C-1 Term
Loan Commitment. Except as hereinafter provided, Tranche C-1 Term Loans shall, at the option of
the Bermuda Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, one or more Borrowings
of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that unless the Administrative Agent has
determined that the Syndication Date has occurred, no more than four Borrowings of Tranche C-1 Term
Loans to be maintained as Eurodollar Loans may be incurred prior to the 30th day after the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (or, if later, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the
fourth Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans referred to below), each of which Borrowings of Eurodollar
Loans may only have an Interest Period of one week, and the first of which Borrowings may be made
no earlier than the third Business Day, and no later than the fifth Business Day, after the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the second of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of
the Interest Period of the first such Borrowing, the third of which Borrowings may only be made on
the last day of the Interest Period of the second such Borrowing and the fourth of which Borrowings
may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the third such Borrowing. Once repaid,
Tranche C-1 Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay on the Amendment
No. 3 Effective Date to each Lender party to this Agreement on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date,
as compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Tranche C-1 Term Loan, a closing fee (the
"Tranche C-1 Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of such
Lender’s Tranche C-1 Term Loan made on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. Such Tranche C-1
Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Amendment No. 3 Effective
Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and such Tranche C-1 Closing Fee shall be
netted against the Tranche C-1 Term Loans made by such Lender.
(c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an
Incremental Term Loan Commitment for a given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees, on
the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, to make a term
loan in Dollars (each, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental
Term Loans”) to the Incremental Term Loan Borrower for such Tranche in an amount equal to its
Incremental Term Loan Commitment for such Tranche. Except as hereinafter provided, Incremental
Term Loans shall, at the option of the Incremental Term Loan Borrower for such Tranche, be incurred
and maintained as, and/or converted into, one or more Borrowings of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar
Loans. Once repaid, Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
1.02 Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing
of Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day,
but at no time shall there be outstanding more than 20 Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans.
-2-
1.03 Notice of Borrowing. Whenever a Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of Loans
hereunder, an Authorized Officer of such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice
Office at least one Business Day’s prior written (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) notice of each Base Rate Loan and at least three Business Days’ prior written (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be made
hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain
day only if given before 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day. Each such written notice or
written confirmation of telephonic notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as
otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by or on
behalf of the respective Borrower in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to
specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing,
(ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective
Borrowing shall consist of Tranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche C-1 Term Loans, U.S. Borrower
Incremental Term Loans or Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans and (iv) whether the Loans being
made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar
Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of
the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing notice of such proposed Borrowing, of
such Lender’s proportionate share thereof (determined in accordance with Section 1.07) and of the
other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of
Borrowing.
1.04 Disbursement of Funds. Not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date
specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Commitment under the respective Tranche
will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 1.07) of each such
Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars
and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent will make available to the applicable Borrower at the Payment Office or such
other location as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and specified in the
relevant Notice of Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders prior to
1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the
Administrative Agent prior to such time on such day (provided that on the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date (i) the proceeds of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall be applied, first, to
repay in full the Tranche B Term Loans (as defined in this Agreement immediately prior to giving
effect to Amendment No. 3) together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
thereafter, shall be made available to the U.S. Borrower (ii) the proceeds of the Tranche
C-1 Term Loans shall be applied, first, to repay in full the Tranche C Term Loans (as
defined in this Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 3) together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon and thereafter, shall be made available to the Bermuda
Borrower). Unless the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent
such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of
Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower to pay immediately such corresponding amount to
the Administrative Agent and such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from
such Lender or the relevant Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day
from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the
relevant Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative
Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds
Rate
-3-
and (ii) if recovered from the relevant Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the
relevant Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.08. Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights
which a Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make
Loans hereunder.
1.05 Notes.
(a) At the request of any Lender, the U.S. Borrower’s (in the case of Tranche B-1 Term Loans
and U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans) or the Bermuda Borrower’s (in the case of Tranche C-1
Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans) obligation to pay the principal of, and
interest on, the Loans made by such Lender shall be evidenced (i) in the case of Tranche B-1 Term
Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the U.S. Borrower substantially in the
form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a
"Tranche B-1 Term Note” and, collectively, the “Tranche B-1 Term Notes”), (ii) in
the case of Tranche C-1 Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Bermuda
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith (each, a “Tranche C-1 Term Note” and, collectively, the “Tranche
C-1 Term Notes”) and (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, by a promissory note duly
executed and delivered by the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower for such Tranche
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity
herewith (each, an “Incremental Term Note” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term
Notes”).
(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each
payment in respect thereof. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation
shall not affect either Borrower’s obligations in respect of any Loans.
1.06 Conversions. Each Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day
occurring after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, all or a portion equal to at least $5,000,000
(and, if greater, in an integral multiple of $500,000) of the outstanding principal amount of Loans
made to such Borrower pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans under a
single Tranche into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan under such Tranche,
provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10(b) or unless the respective
Borrower pays all amounts owing pursuant to Section 1.11 concurrently with any such conversion,
Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period
applicable to the Eurodollar Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar
Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a
single Borrowing to less than $5,000,000, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base
Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in
existence on the date of conversion, (iii) unless the Administrative Agent has determined that the
Syndication Date has occurred, prior to the 30th day after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date,
conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans may only be made if any such conversion is
effective on the first day of the first, second, third or fourth Interest Period referred to in the
provisos appearing in each of Section 1.01(a) and Section 1.01(b) and so long as any such
conversion does not result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans prior to the 30th
day after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date as are permitted under Section 1.01(a) and Section
1.01(b), and (iv) no conversion pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall result in a greater number of
Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be
effected by the applicable Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office prior
to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior notice (each, a “Notice of
Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to
specify the Loans of such Borrower to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to
which such Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar
-4-
Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
give each applicable Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its
Loans.
1.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Tranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche C-1 Term
Loans and Incremental Term Loans of a given Tranche under this Agreement shall be incurred from the
Lenders pro rata on the basis of such Lenders’ Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments, Tranche C-1 Term
Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be. 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.
1.08 Interest.
(a) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche B-1 Term Loans and U.S.
Borrower Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans) and the Bermuda
Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche C-1 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower
Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans) interest in respect of the
unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof
until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan
and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, at a
rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time during
the period such Base Rate Loan is outstanding plus the relevant Applicable Margin as in
effect from time to time.
(b) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche B-1 Term Loans and U.S.
Borrower Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Eurodollar Loans) and the Bermuda
Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche C-1 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower
Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Eurodollar Loans), interest in respect of the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof
until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar
Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06,
1.09 or 1.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period
applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period
plus the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time.
(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each
Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the greater of (x) 2% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to
Base Rate Loans maintained pursuant to the respective Tranche (or, if the overdue amount owing does
not relate to any specific Tranche, the rate otherwise applicable to Tranche B-1 Term Loans which
are maintained as Base Rate Loans) from time to time and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the
rate then borne by such Loans, in each case with such interest to be payable on demand.
(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base
Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar
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 (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any repayment or prepayment (on
the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such
maturity, on demand.
(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the
Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period or Interest Periods and shall promptly notify
-5-
the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
1.09 Interest Periods. At the time a Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in
the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to
the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any
subsequent Interest Period), the respective Borrower shall have the right to elect, by having an
Authorized Officer of such Borrower give the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest
period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such
Borrower (but otherwise subject to the (x) proviso appearing in Section 1.01(a), (y) the proviso
appearing in Section 1.01(b) and (z) clause (iii) of the proviso appearing in Section 1.06), be, in
the case of a Eurodollar Loan, a one-, two-, three- or six-month period or, to the extent agreed to
by all Lenders required to make Loans under the respective Tranche, a nine- or twelve-month period
(or, if required by the proviso appearing in either Section 1.01(a) or Section 1.01(b), a one-week
period); provided that:
(i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times have the same
Interest Period;
(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of
Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of
such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period
applicable thereto expires;
(iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurodollar 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;
(iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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
next preceding Business Day;
(v) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing under a given Tranche of Loans shall
be selected which extends beyond the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans;
(vi) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Loan may be selected at any time when a Default or Event of Default is then in existence;
and
(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Term Loans shall
be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Repayment for the respective
Tranche of Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 4.02(b) if, after giving
effect to the election of such Interest Period, the aggregate principal amount of such
Tranche of Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be
in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding
less the aggregate amount of such required Scheduled Repayment.
If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the
U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as applicable, has failed to elect, or is not permitted to
elect, a new In-
-6-
terest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the relevant Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, in any such
case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.
1.10 Increased Costs; Illegality; etc.
(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (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) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date 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 Eurodollar Rate; 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 Eurodollar Loan because of (x)
any change since the Amendment No. 3 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, for example, but not
limited to (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to a Lender of the principal of
or interest on the Loans 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
imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or applicable lending office is
located) or (B) 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 Amendment No. 3 Effective
Date affecting such Lender, the interbank market or the position of such Lender in such
market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the time of such occurrence); or
(iii) at any time after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, that the making or
continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule,
regulation or order (or would conflict with any governmental rule, regulation, guideline,
request or order not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies
even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or impracticable as a
result of a contingency occurring after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date which materially
and adversely affects the applicable interbank market;
then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)
above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the applicable Borrower,
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).
Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until
such time as the Administrative Agent notifies any affected Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by either Borrower with respect to
Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed
rescinded by such Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the respective Borrower or
Borrowers, as the case may be, agrees to pay to such Lender, upon written demand 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
-7-
to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable
hereunder (with the written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, submitted to
the respective Borrower or Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the foregoing to be, absent
manifest error, final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto, although the failure to
give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the respective Borrower’s or Borrowers’
obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(a) upon the subsequent
submission of such notice) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or
Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as possible and,
in any event, within the time period required by law. Each of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender agrees that if it gives notice to either Borrower of any of the events described in clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) above, it shall promptly notify such Borrower and, in the case of any such
Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist.
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section
1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower may (and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected
by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(iii), shall) either (x) if the affected
Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective
Borrowing by giving the Administrative 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 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), as the case may be, or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then
outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require
the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the
case of the circumstance described in Section 1.10(a)(iii), shall occur on the last day of the
Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by
applicable law).
(c) If any Lender shall have determined after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date that the
adoption or effectiveness after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or
regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change after the Amendment No.
3 Effective Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s
Commitment or Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such
Lender or such other controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to in the next
succeeding sentence of this Section 1.10(c), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to
such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other
controlling Person for such reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other
controlling Person. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will
be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the
relevant Borrower (a copy of which shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which
notice shall set forth such Lender’s basis for asserting its rights under this Section 1.10(c) and
the calculation, in reasonable detail, of such additional amounts claimed hereunder, although the
failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish either Borrower’s obligations to pay
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A
Lender’s good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.10(c) shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.
-8-
(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 Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit, any
Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranties or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by
reference to which the interest rate on any Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit or any
Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty 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 Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit or such Non-Dollar Denominated Bank
Guaranty or in Section 1.10(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 (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional
amounts) and the Borrowers, jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender such specified
amounts as additional fees at the time that either Borrower is otherwise required to pay regularly
accruing fees in respect of such Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit or such Non-Dollar
Denominated Bank Guaranty or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.
1.11 Compensation.
(a) 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 Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profit) which such Lender may
sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or any Agent) a Borrowing of,
or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans of such Borrower does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by
the respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any
repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender
pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.12(b)), conversion or permitted “realignment” of any of its
Eurodollar Loans to such Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of the Eurodollar Loans to such Borrower is not
made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrower or Borrowers;
or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by such Borrower to repay its Loans when required
by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to
Section 1.10(b) relating to Loans to such Borrower. Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of
compensation owing pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis for
requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 1.11 and a Lender’s calculation of the amount
thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to compensate the Deposit Bank and each CL
Lender, upon the Deposit Bank’s or applicable CL Lender’s written request (which request shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses
and liabilities incurred by the Deposit Bank or such CL Lender in connection with: (i) any
withdrawals from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to
the end of the applicable Interest Period or Scheduled Investment Termination Date for the
Credit-Linked Deposits; and (ii) the termination of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment (and the
related termination of the investment
-9-
of the funds held in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account) prior to the end of any applicable
Interest Period or Scheduled Investment Termination Date for the Credit Linked Deposits;
provided, however, that neither of the Borrowers shall have any obligation to
compensate the Deposit Bank or any CL Lender pursuant to this Section 1.11(b) for any losses,
expenses and liabilities in connection with periods after such Interest Period or Scheduled
Investment Termination Date, as the case may be.
1.12 Change of Lending Office.
(a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule II, 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 and Bank Guaranties participated in, by such Lender (including,
without limitation, by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with
respect to Dollar-Denominated Letter of Credit Outstandings and Dollar-Denominated Bank Guaranty
Outstandings versus Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit Outstandings and Non-Dollar Denominated
Bank Guaranty Outstandings) by such Lender; provided that, for designations made after the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (unless such designation is made after the occurrence of a Sharing
Event as a result of any Lender’s purchase of participating interests in Loans, Letters of Credit,
Unpaid Drawings, Unreimbursed Payments and Credit-Linked Deposits pursuant to Section 1.14), to the
extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 2A.06, 2B.06 or 4.04 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 no Borrower shall be
obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although if such designation results in increased
costs, each Borrower 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, such 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 upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c), Section 2A.06, Section 2B.06 or Section 4.04 with
respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower by notice to such Lender,
use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another lending office for any Loans, Letters of Credit and/or Bank Guaranties, as the case may be,
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 any of the aforementioned
Sections. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of either
Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Sections 1.10, 2A.06, 2B.06 and 4.04.
1.13 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section
1.10(c) or (d), Section 2A.06, Section 2B.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which
results in such Lender charging to either Borrower increased costs materially in excess of the
average costs being charged by the other Lenders in respect of such contingency 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 provided in Section
13.12(b), the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, shall have the right, in
accordance with the requirements of Section 13.04(b), if no Event of Default then exists or would
exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced
Lender”) with one or more Eligible Transferees (collectively, the “Re-
-10-
placement Lender”), none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of
such replacement and each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or, in
the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of the respective
Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, at the
option of the applicable Borrower, to replace only the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such
Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually
required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the
Replacement Lender; provided that:
(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.13, 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
Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the
Commitments and all then outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of less than
all the Tranches of Commitments and outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, all
the Commitments and/or all then outstanding Loans relating to the Tranche or Tranches with
respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of, and all participations in all then
outstanding Letters of Credit and Bank Guaranties issued pursuant to the respective Tranche
or Tranches where the respective Lender is being replaced by, the Replaced Lender and, in
connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to
the sum (in the relevant currency or currencies) of (A) an amount equal to the principal of,
and all accrued interest on, all then outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender
under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an
amount equal to the then remaining Credit-Linked Deposit of such Lenders (if any) at such
time, (C) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (if any) under each Tranche with respect to
which the respective Replaced Lender is being replaced, in each case that have been funded
by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender (including by way of application of such
Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit) at such time, together with all then unpaid interest with
respect thereto at such time, (D) an amount equal to all Unreimbursed Payments (if any)
under each Tranche with respect to which the respective Replaced Lender is being replaced,
in each case that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender
(including by way of application of such Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit) at such time,
together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (E) an amount
equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only
with respect to the relevant Tranche or Tranches, in the case of the replacement of less
than all Tranches then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 3.01;
provided that the failure of any Replaced Lender to execute an Assignment and
Assumption shall not affect the validity of any assignment pursuant to this Section 1.13;
and
(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender in respect
of each Tranche where such Replaced Lender is being replaced (other than those specifically
described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or
is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with
such replacement.
Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement (or, otherwise, upon
notice by the Administrative Agent to the Replaced Lender), 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 13.17 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender (when applicable)
pursuant to Section 1.05(a), delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes
executed by the applicable Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder
and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Loans or any Commitment
hereunder, the Replaced Lender
-11-
shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06, 4.04, 13.01
and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender, and (y) in the case of the replacement
of any Credit Linked Commitment pursuant to this Section 1.13, the CL Percentages of the CL Lenders
shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement. The Credit-Linked
Deposit funded by any CL Lender shall not be released in connection with any assignment of its
Credit-Linked Commitment, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee (at par, as
described in clause (i)(B) of the proviso above) and continue to be held by the Deposit Bank for
application (if not already applied) pursuant to Sections 2A.04 and 2B.04 in respect of such
assignee’s obligations under the Credit-Linked Commitment assigned to it.
1.14 Special Provisions Applicable to Lenders upon the Occurrence of a Sharing Event.
(a) On the date of the occurrence of any Sharing Event, or promptly thereafter, (i) if there
have been any Drawings pursuant to Letters of Credit which have not yet been reimbursed to the
respective Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2A, the respective Issuing Lender shall seek
reimbursement therefor as permitted pursuant to Section 2A.04(c) and (ii) if there have been any
Bank Guaranty Payments pursuant to Bank Guaranties which have not yet been reimbursed to the
respective Bank Guaranty Issuer pursuant to Section 2B, the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer shall
seek reimbursement therefor as permitted pursuant to Section 2B.04(c). After giving effect to the
actions taken (or required to be taken) pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative
Agent, shall request that the Deposit Bank return (in which case the Deposit Bank shall return) to
the Administrative Agent who shall, in turn, return to the CL Lenders, amounts (if any)
representing Credit-Linked Deposits which are permitted to be returned to the CL Lenders at such
time in accordance with Section 2C.04(a) hereof.
(b) (i) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, but after giving effect to the actions
required to be taken pursuant to preceding clause (a) of this Section 1.14 (although any failure by
the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank or any Lender to take the actions required of it
pursuant to said clause shall not prevent the actions required hereby, but the respective
Administrative Agent, Deposit Bank or Lender shall continue to be obligated to perform its
obligations as required above and the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to make any
equitable adjustments as may be deemed necessary or desirable pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 1.14(b)), the Lenders shall purchase participations from other Lenders in each of the
respective Tranches of Loans and the CL Tranche (including, in the case of the CL Tranche,
participations in each outstanding Letter of Credit, each Unpaid Drawing owing to the CL Lenders,
each outstanding Bank Guaranty, each Unreimbursed Payment owing to the CL Lenders and the
Credit-Linked Deposits of the various CL Lenders) so that, after giving effect to such purchases,
each Lender shall have the same credit exposure in each Tranche at such time (including (x) in the
case of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment, an interest in each outstanding Letter of Credit, each
Unpaid Drawing owing to the CL Lenders, each outstanding Bank Guaranty, each Unreimbursed Payment
owing to the CL Lenders and the Credit-Linked Deposits of the various CL Lenders and (y) a
participation in the Credit Linked Deposits established pursuant to Section 2C.01 and all amounts
deposited in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account from time to time or to be returned to the Lenders
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2), whether or not such Lender shall previously have
participated therein, equal to such Lender’s Exchange Percentage thereof.
(ii) The foregoing actions pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) shall be accomplished
pursuant to this Section 1.14(b) through purchases and sales of participations in the various
Tranches as required hereby, and at the request of the Administrative Agent each Lender hereby
agrees to enter into customary participation agreements approved by the Administrative Agent to
evidence the
-12-
same. All purchases and sales of participations pursuant to this Section 1.14(b) shall be
made in Dollars. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, pursuant to
this Section 1.14(b), the various CL Lenders may be selling participations to the other Lenders in
their Credit-Linked Deposits (after giving effect to the actions required on, or promptly
following, the occurrence of the Sharing Event pursuant to Section 1.14(a)), and in connection
therewith each CL Lender shall be paid, in immediately available funds in Dollars, amounts equal to
the percentage participations sold by it in its Credit-Linked Deposits, which immediately available
funds shall be paid by the Lenders acquiring participations therein). At the request of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender which has sold participations in any of its Tranches as provided
above (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) which has so purchased a participation therein a participation certificate in the
appropriate amount as determined in conjunction with the Administrative Agent. It is understood
that the amount of immediately available funds delivered by each Lender shall be calculated on a
net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Lenders
as required above.
(c) In the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the
Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit or any Bank Guaranty as provided in Section
1.14(b), each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender (and not against the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank or any other
Lender) for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default.
(d) All determinations by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall be made
by it in accordance with the provisions herein and with the intent being to equitably share the
credit risk for all Tranches (and the Credit-Linked Deposits) hereunder in accordance with the
provisions hereof. Absent manifest error, all determinations by the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall be binding on the Borrowers, each of the Lenders, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty
Issuer and the Deposit Bank. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to either Borrower
or any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Bank Guaranty Issuer or the Deposit Bank for any
determinations made by it hereunder except to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).
(e) Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Credit Events shall be
made or occur, and (ii) all Credit-Linked Commitments and all Incremental Term Loan Commitments (if
any) shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above,
the failure of any Lender to purchase its participating interests as required above in any
extensions of credit (and/or any Credit-Linked Deposits) upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating
interests in a timely manner, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Lender on any date.
(f) If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to this Section 1.14 is not paid
to the Administrative Agent on the date upon which the Sharing Event occurred, such Lender shall,
in addition to such aforementioned amount, also pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount
equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such Lender for the purchase of
its participations, (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate, during the period from and including
the date of request for payment to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
Administrative Agent and (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed
during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent
submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts payable under this Section 1.14 shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to this
Section 1.14 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders,
provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole
-13-
discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such other Lender the amounts owing to such other
Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.
(g) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Lenders have received from any other Lenders
purchases of participations pursuant to this Section 1.14, the various Lenders receive any payment
on account thereof, such Lenders will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the various Lenders participating therein, such Lenders’ participating interests in such amounts
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during
which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as received, provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by any Lenders is required to be
returned, the Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating
interests therein will return to the respective Lenders any portion thereof previously so
distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective
Lenders.
(h) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 1.14
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including,
without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Lender may have against any other Lender, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of either Borrower or any
other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by either Borrower,
any Lender, any Issuing Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer, any Agent, the Deposit Bank or any other
Person, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any
purchase of participations as required above, (i) the relevant Borrower shall pay to each Lender
granting any participations as required above, for the account of the respective Lender which has
purchased such participations, any increased costs and indemnities (including, without limitation,
pursuant to Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2A.06, 2B.06 and 4.04) to the same extent as if such Lender which
has purchased such participations were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein, which
increased costs shall be calculated without regard to Section 1.13, Section 13.04(a) or the
penultimate sentence of Section 13.04(b) and (ii) each Lender which has sold such participations
shall be entitled to receive from the relevant Borrower indemnification from and against any and
all taxes imposed as a result of the sale of the participations pursuant to this Section 1.14.
Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving
effect to the requirements of this Section 1.14, increased Taxes may be owing by it pursuant to
Section 4.04, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 4.04) by the respective
Borrower or Borrowers, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same
resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 1.14.
1.15 Incremental Term Loan Commitments.
(a) Each Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the
Administrative Agent but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request, at any
time and from time to time on or after the CL Maturity Date and prior to the then latest 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 Term Loan Commitments to such Borrower and, subject
to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan
Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed,
however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a
result of any
-14-
such request, (ii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be made available
to a single Incremental Term Loan Borrower and shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) the amount of
each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of
$25,000,000, (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant
to this Section 1.15 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amount, (v) the
up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees payable in
respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the respective
Incremental Term Loan Borrower and each Incremental Term Loan Lender (and with all such fees to be
disclosed in writing by the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower to the Administrative Agent),
(vi) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (I) (x) an Incremental Term Loan Maturity
Date of no earlier than the then latest Maturity Date as then in effect, and (y) a Weighted Average
Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the
Tranche of then outstanding Loans with the longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity and (II) an
“interest rate” or “interest rates” applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which,
for such purposes only, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and deemed to include all
upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the life of such Incremental
Term Loans) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any
arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all
Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) that may (at such time or from time to
time thereafter) exceed the “interest rates” applicable to the Term Loans; provided that,
in the event that the “interest rate” excess applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans
shall at such time be greater than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, the
Tranche C-1 Term Loans and each other then existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be
increased by such amounts, and for such time periods, as are needed so that at no time shall the
“interest rate” for the respective new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (calculated as described
above) exceed the relevant interest rates applicable to the then existing Tranches of Term Loans by
more than 0.50%, (vii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the
purposes permitted by Section 7.05(a), (viii) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall
specifically designate, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the
Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche may be a new Tranche
(i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term
Loan Commitments or other Term Loans) or an increase in a previously established Tranche), (ix) all
Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be
Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by
the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari
passu basis with all other Loans of the applicable Borrower secured by each such Security
Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, and (x) each Lender (including any Eligible
Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment
pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the
Tranche
specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 1.01(c) and
such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.
(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section
1.15, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender
or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an
"Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I
(appropriately completed), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided
therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which
date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which all Incremental Term Loan Commitment
Requirements are satisfied.
-15-
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each
Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.

ter of Credit, £150,000, or in each
case such lesser amount as is reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.
2A.03 Letter of Credit Requests.
(a) Whenever an Account Party desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, such
Account Party shall give the Administrative Agent (at the appropriate Notice Office) and the
respective Issuing Lender at least 3 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to
such Issuing Lender in any given case) written notice prior to the proposed date of issuance (which
shall be a Business Day). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C-1 (each, a
"Letter of Credit Request”), including, without limitation, by specifying: (i) whether the
requested Letter of Credit shall constitute a U.S. Borrower Letter of Credit or a Bermuda Borrower
Letter of Credit; and (ii) the currency in which the requested Letter of Credit is to be
denominated (which shall be Dollars or, to the extent permitted hereunder, an Alternative
Currency). Each Letter of Credit Request shall include any other documents as such Issuing Lender
customarily requires in connection therewith.
(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the applicable Account Party that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance
with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2A.01(c). Unless the respective Issuing
Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one
or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6, as the case may be, are not then
satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2A.01(c), then such
Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the respective Account
Party in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.
2A.04 Letter of Credit Participations.
(a) Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, but subject
to Section 2C.03 to the extent applicable in the case of Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit,
such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each CL Lender (each such
Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit, in its capacity under this Section 2A.04, an “L/C
Participant”), and each such L/C 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 (each an “L/C Participation”), in a percentage equal to such L/C
Participant’s CL Percentage in such Letter of Credit, and each Drawing made thereunder and the
obligations of the respective Account Party under this Agreement with respect thereto (although CL
Facility Fees shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the CL
Lenders as provided in Section 3.01(a) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any
portion of any Facing Fees or any administration fees with respect to any such Letters of Credit)
and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Credit-Linked
Commitments and, as a result thereof, the CL Percentages of the CL Lenders pursuant to Section 1.13
or 13.04, 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 2A.04 to reflect the new CL Percentages of the CL Lenders. With respect to each
Letter of Credit from time to time outstanding, all calculations of the percentage participations
therein of the various CL Lenders shall be made from time to time by the Administrative Agent,
which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of
a Sharing Event and as more fully set forth in Section 1.14, additional sub-participations may be
required to be granted by the various CL Lenders in their participations in outstanding Letters of
Credit, in each case in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Section 1.14.
-18-
(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the respective Issuing Lender
shall have no 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 any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) shall
not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Account Party or any Lender.
(c) In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of
Credit issued by it and the respective Account Party shall not have reimbursed such amount in full
to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2A.05(a) by the date required by said Section 2A.05(a)
for such reimbursement, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which
shall promptly notify each L/C Participant therein and the Deposit Bank of such failure, and each
CL Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant) hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Deposit Bank (and the Deposit Bank hereby agrees) to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such amount
in Dollars (or, to the extent that the respective Unpaid Drawing is in an Alternative Currency, in
an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as determined by the Administrative Agent on the
date on which such payment or disbursement was made under the respective Letter of Credit) solely
from such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Deposit Bank
in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, in which case the Total Credit-Linked Commitment shall be
reduced by the amount so applied (with a corresponding reduction in the Credit-Linked Commitment of
each CL Lender equal to such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of such aggregate amount so applied);
provided that any portion of the Unpaid Drawings with respect to a Non-Dollar Denominated
Letter of Credit, which, because of currency fluctuations, represents amounts in excess of the
Total Credit-Linked Deposits (as more fully described in Section 2C.03), shall not be reimbursed
from Credit-Linked Deposits but shall instead be immediately repaid by the respective Account
Party. Furthermore, if any Specified Default or any Event of Default then exists, the respective
Issuing Lender may, with respect to any payment or disbursement made by it under any Letter of
Credit, request the Deposit Bank, in which case each CL Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Deposit Bank (and the Deposit Bank hereby agrees), to reimburse the Issuing Lender, solely from
such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit in the Credit-Linked
Deposit Account with the Deposit Bank, for any Drawing under such Letter of Credit as provided in
the immediately preceding sentence (notwithstanding the date of reimbursement of any such Drawings
by the date required by Section 2A.05(a)), in which case the Total Credit-Linked Commitment shall
be reduced by the amount so applied as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
and any amounts actually received pursuant to Section 2A.05(a) shall be applied to reimburse L/C
Participants as provided in following Section 2A.04(d).
(d) Whenever any Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which
the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuing Lender any payments from the
L/C Participants (or from the Deposit Bank on their behalf) pursuant to Section 2A.04(c) above,
such Issuing Lender shall, after paying itself any amounts owing to it as described in Section
2C.03 in the case of payments received with respect to Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit,
pay (in same day funds in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay (in same day funds in Dollars) to each L/C Participant which has paid its relevant CL
Percentage thereof) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based on the proportionate
aggregate amount funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C
Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon
accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.
-19-
(e) Each Issuing Lender shall, promptly after the issuance of, or amendment or modification
to, a Standby Letter of Credit, give the Administrative Agent and the respective Account Party
written notice of such issuance, amendment or modification, as the case may be, and such notice
shall be accompanied by a copy of such Standby Letter of Credit, such amendment or such
modification, as the case may be. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each L/C Participant, in writing, of such issuance, amendment or modification and if
any L/C Participant shall so request, the Administrative Agent shall furnish said L/C Participant
with a copy of such Standby Letter of Credit, such amendment or such modification, as the case may
be.
(f) Each Issuing Lender (other than DBAG) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Deposit Bank, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by facsimile transmission, the
aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under the outstanding Trade Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender for the previous week.
(g) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the respective Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall
be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other 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 Credit
Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Credit Party
or any of its Subsidiaries 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), any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender, any L/C 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 Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries 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;
provided that the L/C Participants shall not be obligated to reimburse such Issuing Lender
for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a
result of deliberate acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the
part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or
in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting
liability to the L/C Participants or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be
taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
-20-
2A.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.
(a) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees (in the case of U.S Borrower Letters of Credit) and the
Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees (in the case of Bermuda Borrower Letters of Credit) to reimburse the
respective Issuing Lender, by making payment in Dollars (or, if the respective Letter of Credit is
denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the
respective payment or disbursement, as determined by the Administrative Agent on the date of such
payment or disbursement) to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office (or by making the payment directly to such Issuing Lender at such location as may otherwise
have been agreed upon by the respective Account Party and such Issuing Lender), for any payment or
disbursement (in the case of any such payment or disbursement under any Non-Dollar Denominated
Letter of Credit, taking the Dollar Equivalent, as determined by the Administrative Agent, of the
amount of the respective payment or disbursement on the date upon which the respective payment or
disbursement is made) made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each
such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than the third
Business Day after the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender notifies the respective Account
Party 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 10.05 shall have occurred and be
continuing, in which case all such Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the
respective Account Party)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing
Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York 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 is reimbursed by the respective Account Party therefor at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche B-1 Term Loans
maintained as Base Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time; provided, however,
to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third
Business Day following the receipt by the Account Party of notice to the respective Account Party
by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement (or,
if sooner, from the date of occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05),
interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and
until reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which is 2% in excess of the
rate otherwise applicable to the respective Unpaid Drawing as provided above, with all such
interest payable pursuant to this Section 2A.05 to be payable on demand. The respective Issuing
Lender shall give the respective Account Party prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of
Credit, provided that the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall in
no way affect, impair or diminish the respective Account Party’s obligations under this Agreement.
The obligations of the respective Account Party to repay Unpaid Drawings as required above shall
not be reduced, or satisfied, in any respect by payments made to the Issuing Lender with any
amounts on deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or as otherwise provided in Section
2A.04(c).
(b) The obligations of the U.S. Borrower (with respect to U.S. Borrower Letters of Credit) and
the obligations of the Bermuda Borrower (with respect to Bermuda Borrower Letters of Credit) under
this Section 2A.05 to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender with respect to Unpaid Drawings
(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 the
respective Account Party may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as
Issuing Lender or as L/C Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the
failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each, a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms
of such Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the
proceeds of such Drawing, the respective Issuing Lender’s only obligation to the respective Account
Party being to confirm that any documents required to
be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to
substan-
-21-
tially comply on their face with requirements of such Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that no Account Party 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
deliberate acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of
such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or
in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting
liability to any Account Party unless such action is taken or admitted to be taken with gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).
2A.06 Increased Costs. If after the Restatement Effective Date, the Deposit Bank, any
Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant determines in good faith that the adoption or effectiveness
after the Restatement Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or regulation, order, guideline or
request or any change therein, or any change after the Restatement Effective Date in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing
Lender or any L/C Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (i) impose, modify or
make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant’s participation therein, or (ii)
impose on the Deposit Bank, any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant any other conditions directly
or indirectly affecting this Agreement, the Credit-Linked Deposits, any Letter of Credit or such
L/C Participant’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to the Deposit Bank, such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or
participating in the Credit-Linked Deposits or any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by the Deposit Bank, such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant
hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or reduce the rate of return on its capital with
respect to Credit-Linked Deposits or Letters of Credit, then, upon written demand to the U.S.
Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, by the Deposit Bank, such Issuing Lender or
such L/C Participant (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Deposit Bank, such Issuing Lender
or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the certificate described in
the last sentence of this Section 2A.06, the respective Account Party shall pay to the Deposit
Bank, such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction. A
certificate submitted to the relevant Borrower by the Deposit Bank, such Issuing Lender or such L/C
Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Deposit Bank,
such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to
compensate the Deposit Bank, such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be
final and conclusive and binding on such Account Party absent manifest error, although the failure
to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish such Account Party’s obligations to
pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2A.06 upon subsequent receipt of such certificate.
Section 2B. Bank Guaranties.
2B.01 Bank Guaranties.
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, a Borrower may request a
Bank Guaranty Issuer, at any time and from time to time on and after the Restatement Effective Date
and prior to the tenth Business Day preceding the CL Maturity Date, to issue, for the account of
the U.S. Borrower (in the case of requests made by it) or the account of the Bermuda Borrower (in
the case of
requests made by it) and for the benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar
representative for any such holders) of B/G Supportable Indebtedness of the respective Account
Party or any of its or
-22-
their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, a bank guaranty in a form customarily used
by such Bank Guaranty Issuer or in such other form as has been approved by such Bank Guaranty
Issuer (each such bank guaranty, a “Bank Guaranty” and collectively, the “Bank
Guaranties”) in support of such B/G Supportable Indebtedness (it being understood and agreed
that (i) the form of Bank Guaranties shall be subject to the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer’s
internal policies and procedures for the issuance of bank guaranties and to applicable local law
restrictions and regulations and (ii) each Bank Guaranty Issuer may request the respective Account
Party to accept such Bank Guaranty Issuer’s general business conditions specifically applicable to
its bank guaranty business prior to the issuance of any Bank Guaranty). Each Bank Guaranty shall
constitute a utilization of the Credit-Linked Commitments and shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 1.14 if a Sharing Event occurs, be participated in (as more fully described in following
Section 2B.04(a)) by the CL Lenders in accordance with their respective CL Percentages. All Bank
Guaranties shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency and shall expressly provide
the maximum amount that may be paid thereunder. Each Bank Guaranty shall constitute either a U.S.
Borrower Bank Guaranty or a Bermuda Borrower Bank Guaranty. The Bermuda Borrower shall have no
liability with respect to any U.S. Borrower Bank Guaranty which may be issued to the U.S. Borrower.
(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank Guaranty Issuer
hereby agrees (subject to Section 2C.03, to the extent applicable in the case of Non-Dollar
Denominated Bank Guaranties) that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the
Restatement Effective Date and prior to the tenth Business Day preceding the CL Maturity Date,
following its receipt of the respective Bank Guaranty Request, issue for the account of the
respective Account Party one or more Bank Guaranties, in support of such B/G Supportable
Indebtedness as is permitted to remain outstanding without giving rise to a Default or Event of
Default hereunder; provided that the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer shall be under no
obligation to issue any Bank Guaranty 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 Bank Guaranty Issuer from issuing such Bank
Guaranty or any requirement of law applicable to such Bank Guaranty Issuer or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with
jurisdiction over such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Bank
Guaranty Issuer refrain from, the issuance of bank guaranties generally or such Bank
Guaranty in particular or shall impose upon such Bank Guaranty Issuer with respect to such
Bank Guaranty any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Bank
Guaranty Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Restatement Effective
Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known
to such Bank Guaranty Issuer as of the Restatement Effective Date and which such Bank
Guaranty Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or
(ii) such Bank Guaranty Issuer, prior to the issuance of such Bank Guaranty, shall have
received written notice from either Borrower or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance
of such Bank Guaranty of the type described in clause (v) of Section 2B.01(c) or the last
sentence of Section 2B.03(b).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Bank Guaranty shall be issued at any time when the
Aggregate CL Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) either (x) the
Total Credit-Linked Commitment at such time or (y) the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked
Deposits in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account at such time, and (ii) each Bank Guaranty shall by
its terms terminate on or before the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance
thereof (although any such Bank Guaranty may be extendable for successive periods of up to 12 months, but
not beyond the tenth Business Day preceding the CL Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Bank
Guar-
-23-
anty Issuer thereof), provided, however, that a Bank Guaranty shall not be
required to terminate by its terms on or before the twelve month anniversary of the date of
issuance thereof if the respective Account Party reasonably determines that the intended
beneficiary of such Bank Guaranty will not permit same to terminate as otherwise provided above,
(iii) no Bank Guaranty shall have an expiry date occurring later than the tenth Business Day
preceding the CL Maturity Date, provided, however, that a Bank Guaranty shall not
be required to have an expiry date as otherwise required above if the respective Account Party
reasonably determines that the beneficiary of such Bank Guaranty will not accept a Bank Guaranty
with an expiry date, (iv) each Bank Guaranty shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative
Currency and (v) no Bank Guaranty Issuer will issue any Bank Guaranty after it has received written
notice from either Borrower or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default
exists until such time as such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x)
rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a waiver
of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.
(d) Part B of Schedule XI hereto contains a description of certain bank guaranties issued (or
deemed issued) pursuant to the Original
Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Restatement
Effective Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such bank guaranty, (i) the name of the
bank guaranty issuer, (ii) the face amount (including the currency in which such bank guaranty is
denominated, which shall be Dollars or an Alternative Currency), (iii) the name of the beneficiary,
and (iv) the expiry date (if any)). Each such bank guaranty, including any extension or renewal
thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, an
"
Existing Bank Guaranty”), shall constitute either a “Bermuda Borrower Bank Guaranty” or a
“U.S. Borrower Bank Guaranty” (as set forth on Part B of Schedule XI) for all purposes of this
Agreement and issued, for purposes of Section 2B.04(a), on the Restatement Effective Date. Any
Lender hereunder (and any of such Lender’s Affiliates and/or branches) which has issued an Existing
Bank Guaranty shall constitute a “Bank Guaranty Issuer” for all purposes of this Agreement.
2B.02 Minimum Face Amount. The Face Amount of each Bank Guaranty upon issuance shall
be not less than (x) in the case of a Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty, $250,000, (y) in the case
of a Euro Denominated Bank Guaranty, €150,000 and (z) in the case of a Sterling Denominated Bank
Guaranty, £150,000, or in each case such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Bank
Guaranty Issuer.
2B.03 Bank Guaranty Requests.
(a) Whenever an Account Party desires that a Bank Guaranty be issued for its account, such
Account Party shall give the Administrative Agent (at the appropriate Notice Office) and the
respective Bank Guaranty Issuer at least 3 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable
to such Bank Guaranty Issuer in any given case) written notice prior to the proposed date of
issuance (which shall be a Business Day). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C-2
(each, a “Bank Guaranty Request”), including, without limitation, whether the requested
Bank Guaranty shall constitute a U.S. Borrower Bank Guaranty or a Bermuda Borrower Bank Guaranty
and, by specifying the Available Currency in which the requested Bank Guaranty is to be
denominated. Each Bank Guaranty Request shall include any other documents as such Bank Guaranty
Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith.
(b) The making of each Bank Guaranty Request shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, that such Bank Guaranty
may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2B.01(c).
Unless the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer has received notice from the Required Lenders
before it issues a Bank Guaranty that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section
6, as the case may
-24-
be, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Bank Guaranty would
violate Section 2B.01(c), then such Bank Guaranty Issuer may issue the requested Bank Guaranty for
the account of the respective Account Party in accordance with such Bank Guaranty Issuer’s usual
and customary practices.
2B.04 Bank Guaranty Participations.
(a) Immediately upon the issuance by any Bank Guaranty Issuer of any Bank Guaranty, but
subject to Section 2C.03 to the extent applicable in the case of Non-Dollar Denominated Bank
Guaranties, such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each CL
Lender (each such Lender with respect to any Bank Guaranty, in its capacity under this Section
2B.04, a “B/G Participant”), and each such B/G Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and
unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Bank Guaranty Issuer, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each a “B/G Participation”), in a
percentage equal to such B/G Participant’s CL Percentage in such Bank Guaranty, each Bank Guaranty
Payment made thereunder and the obligations of the respective Account Party under this Agreement
with respect thereto (although CL Facility Fees shall be payable directly to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the CL Lenders as provided in Section 3.01(a) and the B/G Participants
shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees or any administration fees with
respect to any such Bank Guaranties) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto.
Upon any change in the Credit-Linked Commitments and, as a result thereof, the CL Percentages of
the CL Lenders pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all
outstanding Bank Guaranties and Unreimbursed Payments relating thereto, there shall be an automatic
adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2B.04 to reflect the new CL Percentages
of the CL Lenders. With respect to each Bank Guaranty from time to time outstanding, all
calculations of the percentage participations therein of the various CL Lenders shall be made from
time to time by the Administrative Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and as more fully set forth in Section
1.14, additional sub-participations may be required to be granted by the various CL Lenders in
their participations in outstanding Bank Guaranties, in each case in accordance with, and subject
to the provisions of, Section 1.14.
(b) In determining whether to pay under any Bank Guaranty, the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer
shall have no obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents
required to be delivered under such Bank Guaranty appear to have been delivered and that they
appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Bank Guaranty. Any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any Bank Guaranty Issuer under or in connection with any
Bank Guaranty issued by it if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision), shall not create for such Bank Guaranty Issuer any resulting liability to the respective
Account Party or any Lender.
(c) In the event that any Bank Guaranty Issuer makes any payment or disbursement under any
Bank Guaranty issued by it and the respective Account Party shall not have reimbursed such amount
in full to such Bank Guaranty Issuer pursuant to Section 2B.05(a) by the date required by said
Section 2B.05(a) for such reimbursement, such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each B/G Participant therein and the Deposit Bank
of such failure, and each CL Lender (including in its capacity as a B/G Participant) hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Deposit Bank (and the Deposit Bank hereby agrees) to reimburse such Bank
Guaranty Issuer for such amount in Dollars (or, to the extent that the respective Unreimbursed
Payment is in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as
determined by the Administrative Agent on
the date on which such payment or disbursement was made under the respective Bank Guaranty)
solely from such B/G Participant’s CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the
Deposit Bank in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, in which case the Total Credit-Linked Commitment
shall be
-25-
reduced by the amount so applied (with a corresponding reduction in the Credit-Linked
Commitment of each CL Lender equal to such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of such aggregate amount so
applied); provided that any portion of the Unreimbursed Payments with respect to a
Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty which, because of currency fluctuations, represents amounts in
excess of the Total Credit-Linked Deposits, as more fully described in Section 2C.03, shall not be
reimbursed from Credit-Linked Deposits but shall instead be immediately repaid by the respective
Account Party. Furthermore, if any Specified Default or any Event of Default then exists, the
respective Bank Guaranty Issuer may, with respect to any payment or disbursement made by it under
any Bank Guaranty, request the Deposit Bank, in which case each CL Lender hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Deposit Bank (and the Deposit Bank hereby agrees), to reimburse the Bank Guaranty,
solely from such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit in the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account with the Deposit Bank for any Bank Guaranty Payment made by such Bank
Guaranty Issuer under such Bank Guaranty, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence
(notwithstanding the date of reimbursement of any such Bank Guaranty Payment by the date required
by Section 2B.05(a)), in which case the Total Credit-Linked Commitment shall be reduced by the
amount so applied as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and any amounts
actually received pursuant to Section 2B.05(a) shall be applied to reimburse B/G Participants as
provided in following Section 2B.04(d)
(d) Whenever any Bank Guaranty Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to
which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Bank Guaranty Issuer any
payments from the B/G Participants (or from the Deposit Bank on their behalf) pursuant to Section
2B.04(c) above, such Bank Guaranty Issuer shall, after paying itself any amounts owing to it as
described in Section 2C.03 in the case of payments received with respect to Non-Dollar Denominated
Bank Guaranties, pay (in same day funds in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent (and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay (in same day funds in Dollars) each B/G Participant which
has paid its CL Percentage thereof), an amount equal to such B/G Participant’s share (based on the
proportionate aggregate amount funded by such B/G Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all
B/G Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon
accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.
(e) Each Bank Guaranty Issuer shall, promptly after the issuance of, or amendment or
modification to, a Bank Guaranty, give the Administrative Agent and the respective Account Party
written notice of such issuance, amendment or modification, as the case may be, and such notice
shall be accompanied by a copy of such Bank Guaranty, such amendment or such modification, as the
case may be. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each B/G
Participant, in writing, of such issuance, amendment or modification and if any B/G Participant
shall so request, the Administrative Agent shall furnish said B/G Participant with a copy of such
Bank Guaranty, such amendment or such modification, as the case may be.
(f) Each Bank Guaranty Issuer (other than DBAG) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and
the Deposit Bank, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by facsimile transmission, the
aggregate daily Face Amount available to be drawn under each outstanding Bank Guaranty issued by
such Bank Guaranty Issuer for the previous week.
(g) The obligations of the B/G Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer with respect to Bank Guaranties issued by it
shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other
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:
-26-
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Credit
Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Credit Party
or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Bank
Guaranty, any transferee of any Bank Guaranty (or any Person for whom any such transferee
may be acting), any Agent, any Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer, any B/G Participant, or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Bank Guaranty, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction
between any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such
Bank Guaranty);
(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Bank Guaranty
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;
provided that the B/G Participants shall not be obligated to reimburse such Bank Guaranty
Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Bank Guaranty Issuer under a Bank Guaranty issued by
it as a result of deliberate acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence
on the part of such Bank Guaranty Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision). Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Bank Guaranty
Issuer under or in connection with any Bank Guaranty shall not create for such Bank Guaranty Issuer
any resulting liability to the B/G Participants or any other Person unless such action is taken or
omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
2B.05 Agreement to Repay Bank Guaranty Payments.
(a) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees (in the case of U.S. Borrower Bank Guaranties) and the
Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees (in the case of Bermuda Borrower Bank Guaranties) to reimburse the
respective Bank Guaranty Issuer, by making payment in Dollars (if the respective Bank Guaranty is
denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the
respective payment or disbursement, as determined by the Administrative Agent on the date of such
payment or disbursement) to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office (or by making the payment directly to such Bank Guaranty Issuer at such location as may
otherwise have been agreed upon by the respective Account Party and such Bank Guaranty Issuer), for
any payment or disbursement (in the case of any such payment or disbursement under any Non-Dollar
Denominated Bank Guaranty, taking the Dollar Equivalent, as determined by the Administrative Agent,
of the amount of the respective payment or disbursement on the date upon which the respective
payment or disbursement is made) made by such Bank Guaranty Issuer under any Bank Guaranty issued
by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unreimbursed Payment”), not later
than the third Business Day after the Administrative Agent or the Bank Guaranty Issuer notifies the
respective Account Party 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 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case all such
Unreimbursed Payments shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or
notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the respective Account Party)), with interest
on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Bank Guaranty Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior
to 1:00 P.M. (New
-27-
York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the
date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Bank Guaranty Issuer is reimbursed by the
respective Account Party therefor at a rate per annum which shall be equal to Base Rate in effect
from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche B-1 Term Loans maintained as Base
Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, to the extent such
amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day following
the receipt by an Account Party of notice of such payment or disbursement (or, if sooner, from the
date of occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05), interest shall
thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Bank Guaranty Issuer (and until
reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which is 2% in excess of the rate
otherwise applicable to the respective Unreimbursed Payment as provided above, with all such
interest payable pursuant to this Section 2B.05 to be payable on demand. The respective Bank
Guaranty Issuer shall give the respective Account Party prompt notice of each Bank Guaranty Payment
under any Bank Guaranty, provided that the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any
such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the respective Account Party’s obligations
under this Agreement. The obligations of the respective Account Party to repay Unreimbursed
Payments as required above shall not be reduced, or satisfied, in any respect by payments made to
the Issuing Lender with any amounts on deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or as otherwise
provided in Section 2B.04(c).
(b) The obligations of the U.S. Borrower (with respect to U.S. Borrower Bank Guaranties) and
the Bermuda Borrower (with respect to Bermuda Borrower Bank Guaranties) under this Section 2B.05 to
reimburse the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer with respect to Unreimbursed Payments (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 the respective Account
Party may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as Bank Guaranty Issuer or
as B/G Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any
payment under a Bank Guaranty (each, a “Bank Guaranty Payment”) to conform to the terms of
such Bank Guaranty or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of
such Bank Guaranty Payment, the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer’s only obligation to the respective
Account Party being to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Bank Guaranty
appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with
requirements of such Bank Guaranty; provided, however, that no Account Party shall
be obligated to reimburse any Bank Guaranty Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Bank
Guaranty Issuer under a Bank Guaranty issued by it as a result of deliberate acts or omissions
constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Bank Guaranty Issuer (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any Bank Guaranty Issuer under or in connection with any
Bank Guaranty shall not create for such Bank Guaranty Issuer any resulting liability to any Account
Party unless such action is taken or admitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision).
2B.06 Increased Costs. If after the Restatement Effective Date, the Deposit Bank, any
Bank Guaranty Issuer or any B/G Participant determines in good faith that the adoption or
effectiveness after the Restatement Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or regulation,
order, guideline or request or any change therein, or any change after the Restatement Effective
Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the
Deposit Bank, any Bank Guaranty Issuer or any B/G Participant with any request or directive
(whether or
not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall
either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar
requirement against Bank Guaranties issued by such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant’s
participation therein, or (ii) impose on the Deposit Bank, any Bank Guaranty Issuer or any B/G
Participant any other conditions directly or indirectly affecting this
-28-
Agreement, the Credit-Linked
Deposits or any Bank Guaranty or such B/G Participant’s participation therein; and the result of
any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Deposit Bank, such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such
B/G Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in the Credit-Linked Deposits, any Bank
Guaranty, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Deposit Bank, such Bank
Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or reduce the
rate of return on its capital with respect to Bank Guaranties, then, upon written demand to the
U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, by the Deposit Bank, such Bank Guaranty
Issuer or such B/G Participant (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Deposit Bank, such Bank
Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the
certificate described in the last sentence of this Section 2B.06, the respective Account Party
shall pay to the Deposit Bank, such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant for such increased
cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the relevant Account Party by the Deposit Bank, such
Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall
be sent by the Deposit Bank, such Bank Guaranty Issuer or such B/G Participant to the
Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such
additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Deposit Bank, such Bank Guaranty Issuer or
such B/G Participant as aforesaid shall be final and conclusive and binding on such Account Party
absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or
diminish such Account Party’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2B.06
upon subsequent receipt of such certificate.
2B.07 Cash Collateralization. No later than the date occurring ten Business Days
prior to the CL Maturity Date, the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, shall
either (i) terminate each Bank Guaranty issued to it without an expiry date (and cause each such
terminated Bank Guaranty to be surrendered for termination to the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer)
or (ii) enter into cash collateral arrangements with each Bank Guaranty Issuer which shall have
issued a Bank Guaranty to it without an expiry date on terms satisfactory to such Bank Guaranty
Issuer and the Administrative Agent, with the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case
may be, depositing cash and/or Cash Equivalents (in the respective currency or currencies of the
respective Bank Guaranties, and in such amounts as will fully cash collateralize the maximum future
payments that could be made under the respective Bank Guaranties) pursuant to such cash collateral
arrangements to be held as security for all Bank Guaranty Outstandings of the U.S. Borrower or the
Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, in respect of such Bank Guaranties. If (and only if) all
actions required above are taken to the satisfaction of the relevant Bank Guaranty Issuers and the
Administrative Agent, the Aggregate CL Exposure attributable to the Bank Guaranties so fully cash
collateralized shall be deemed to be $0 (including for purposes of Section 2C.04(a));
provided that unless and until such actions are taken the full amount of Bank Guaranty
Outstandings relating thereto shall be included in determining the Aggregate CL Exposure (including
for purposes of Section 2C.04(a)).
Section 2C. Special Provisions.
2C.01 Credit-Linked Deposit Account.
(a) On the Restatement Effective Date and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Sections 5 and 6, each CL Lender on such date shall pay to the Deposit Bank
such CL Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit. The Credit-Linked Deposits shall be held by the Deposit
Bank
in (or credited to) the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no Person other than the Deposit
Bank shall have a right of withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or
power with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the funding obligation of each CL Lender in respect of its participation in CL Credit Events shall
be satisfied in full upon the funding in full of its Credit-Linked Deposit.
-29-
(b) Each of the Deposit Bank, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank
Guaranty Issuer and each CL Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each CL Lender is
funding its Credit-Linked Deposit to the Deposit Bank for application in the manner contemplated by
Sections 2A.04 and 2B.04, (ii) the Deposit Bank may invest the Credit-Linked Deposits in such
investments as may be determined from time to time by the Deposit Bank and (iii) the Deposit Bank
has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent, who shall in turn pay to each CL Lender, a return on
its Credit-Linked Deposit (except (x) during periods when such Credit-Linked Deposits are used to
reimburse an Issuing Lender or a Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, with respect to payments
and disbursements on Letters of Credit and/or Bank Guaranties or (y) as otherwise provided in
Sections 2C.01(d) and 2C.01(e)) for each CL Lender equal at any time to the LIBOR Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time less the
Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount at such time. Such interest will be paid to the CL Lenders
(solely from amounts received by it from the Deposit Bank) at the LIBOR Rate for an Interest Period
of (x) three months through April 14, 2010 and (y) one month or three months on and after April 14,
2010 (or at an amount determined in accordance with Section 2C.01(d) or 2C.01(e), as applicable)
less, in each case, the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount in arrears on each CL Interest
Payment Date.
(c) The U.S. Borrower, the Bermuda Borrower or any other Credit Party shall not have (x) any
right, title or interest in or to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or the Credit-Linked Deposits
and/or (y) any obligations with respect thereto (except to refund portions thereof used to
reimburse (I) an Issuing Lender with respect to payments or disbursements on Letters of Credit as
provided in Section 2A.04 and/or (II) a Bank Guaranty Issuer with respect to payments or
disbursements on Bank Guaranties as provided in Section 2B.04), it being acknowledged and agreed by
the parties hereto that the funding of the Credit-Linked Deposits by the CL Lenders to the Deposit
Bank for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and the application of the Credit-Linked
Deposits in the manner contemplated by Sections 2A.04 and 2B.04 constitute agreements among the
Deposit Bank, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer and each CL
Lender with respect to the L/C Participations in the Letters of Credit and the B/G Participations
in the Bank Guaranties and do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to the U.S. Borrower,
the Bermuda Borrower or any other Credit Party.
(d) If the Deposit Bank is not offering Dollar deposits (in the applicable amounts) in the
applicable Eurodollar interbank market, or the Deposit Bank determines that adequate and fair means
do not otherwise exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for the Credit-Linked Deposits (or any part
thereof), then the Credit-Linked Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall be invested so as to
earn a return equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) a rate determined by the
Deposit Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If any (x) payment or disbursement under a Letter of Credit that has been funded by the CL
Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits as provided in Section 2A.04(c) or (y) payment or
disbursement under a Bank Guaranty that has been funded by the CL Lenders from the Credit-Linked
Deposits as provided in Section 2B.04(c) shall, in either case, be reimbursed by the applicable
Account Party (or another Person on its behalf) on a day other than on the last day of an Interest
Period or Scheduled Investment Termination Date applicable to the Credit-Linked Deposits, the
Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt thereof, pay over such amounts to the Deposit Bank, which,
in turn, will invest the
amount so reimbursed in overnight or short-term cash equivalent investments until the end of
the Interest Period or Scheduled Investment Termination Date at the time in effect, and the
respective Account Party shall pay to the Deposit Bank, upon the Deposit Bank’s request therefor
(provided that if an Event of Default specified in Section 10.05 shall occur with respect
to either Borrower, the result which would occur upon the giving of such request by the Deposit
Bank shall occur automatically without the giving of any such request), the amount, if any, by
which the interest accrued on a like amount of the Credit-Linked
-30-
Deposits at the LIBOR Rate for the
Interest Period in effect therefor shall exceed the interest earned through the investment of the
amount so reimbursed for the period from the date of such repayment or reimbursement through the
end of the applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Deposit Bank (such determination shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) and set forth in
the request for payment delivered to the respective Account Party. In the event that the
respective Account Party shall fail to pay any amount due under this Section 2C.01(e), the interest
payable by the Deposit Bank to the CL Lenders on their Credit-Linked Deposits under Section
2C.01(b) shall be correspondingly reduced and the CL Lenders shall, without further act, succeed,
ratably in accordance with their respective CL Percentages, to the rights of the Deposit Bank with
respect to such amount due from the respective Account Party. All reimbursements of (x) Drawings
under Letters of Credit that have been funded by the CL Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits as
provided in Section 2A.04(c) or (y) Bank Guaranty Payments under Bank Guaranties that have been
funded by the CL Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits as provided in Section 2B.04(c), in each
case received by the Administrative Agent prior to the termination of the Total Credit-Linked
Commitment, shall be paid over to the Deposit Bank, which will deposit same in the Credit-Linked
Deposit Account. The Account Party shall not have any responsibility or liability to the CL
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any other Person in respect of the
establishment, maintenance, administration or misappropriation of the Credit-Linked Deposit Account
or with respect to the investment of amounts held therein; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2C.01(e), the Administrative
Agent, acting in its capacity as such, shall be entitled to the indemnities provided elsewhere in
this Agreement.
2C.02 European Monetary Union. The following provisions of this Section 2C.02 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 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 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 Sterling hereunder
either in Euros or in 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 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 this
Section 2C.02, 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
2C.02 shall not reduce or increase any actual or contingent liability arising under this Agreement.
2C.03 Special Provisions Regarding Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit and Non-Dollar
Denominated Bank Guaranties. As an accommodation to each of the Account Parties, it is
understood and agreed that the respective Issuing Lenders and Bank Guaranty Issuers may, but shall
not be obligated to, issue from time to time Letters of Credit or
Bank Guaranties, as the case may be, denominated in Alternative Currencies, otherwise in
accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2. The respective Issuing Lender or Bank
Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, may, at any time, in its sole discretion, determine not to
issue Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties, as the case may be, denominated in any Alternative
Currency. If any Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit and/or Non-Dollar Denominated Bank
Guaranties are from time to time issued, it is understood that the definitions of Stated Amount (in
the case of Non-Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit) and Face Amount (in the case of Non-Dollar
Denominated Bank Guaranties) contained in this Agreement are each, respectively, designed to
-31-
provide (pursuant to the proviso thereto) a cushion to reduce the risk that the sum of (x) the
aggregate Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Letters of Credit and (y) the aggregate Unreimbursed
Payments with respect to the Bank Guaranties would ever exceed the aggregate amount of
Credit-Linked Deposits available to repay same. Nonetheless, it is possible, because of currency
fluctuations, that the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty
Outstandings would exceed the amount of Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time. If that
situation ever occurs at any time, the U.S. Borrower and/or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may
be, shall immediately make all payments required pursuant to Section 4.02(a). Furthermore, if a
Drawing occurs under any Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit or a Bank Guaranty Payment occurs
under any Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty at a time when the sum of the aggregate Letter of
Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings exceeds the Total Credit-Linked Deposits as a
result of currency fluctuations after the initial issuance of the respective Non-Dollar Denominated
Letter of Credit and/or Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty, as the case may be, then, unless the
respective Account Party repays such Drawing and/or Bank Guaranty Payment (or the portion thereof
which represents the excess amounts described above), (x) the respective Issuing Lender shall bear
the risk on that portion of the Unpaid Drawings with respect to such Non-Dollar Denominated Letter
of Credit which represents the excess of the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings and
Bank Guaranty Outstandings over the amount of Credit-Linked Deposits (but only to the extent caused
by currency fluctuations after the issuance of the respective Non-Dollar Denominated Letter of
Credit) and (y) the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer shall bear the risk on that portion of the Bank
Guaranty Payments with respect to such Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranties which represents the
excess of the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty Outstandings
over the amount of Credit-Linked Deposits (but only to the extent caused by currency fluctuations
after the issuance of the respective Non-Dollar Denominated Bank Guaranty), and any payments
received by the Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be (or others on their
respective behalf), with respect to such Unpaid Drawings (and interest thereon, which shall in any
event be payable at the rates specified in Section 2A.05(a)) and/or Unreimbursed Payments (and
interest thereon, which shall in any event be payable at the rates specified in Section 2B.05(a)),
shall be retained by the respective Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer, as the case may be, for
its own account. Any amounts owing to an Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty Issuer as described above
in this Section 2C.03 shall be entitled to elevated priorities with respect to cash collateral as
described in Section 4.02(a) and the enhanced priorities described in Section 7.4 of the U.S.
Security Agreement.
2C.04 Special Provisions Regarding Return of Credit-Linked Deposits. At the time of
any termination or reduction of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to Section 2A.04(c),
2B.04(c), 3.02(b), 3.03 or 10, the Deposit Bank shall return to the Administrative Agent who shall,
in turn, return to the CL Lenders (ratably in accordance with their respective CL Percentages),
their Credit-Linked Deposits (to the extent not theretofore applied pursuant to Section 2A.04(c) or
2B.04(c)) in an amount (if any) by which the aggregate amount of Credit-Linked Deposits at such
time exceeds the greater of (x) the Total Credit-Linked Commitment after giving effect to such
reduction or termination and (y) the Aggregate CL Exposure at such time. If at the time of any
determination pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence the amount determined pursuant to
clause (y) of the preceding sentence exceeded the amount determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the Deposit Bank shall from time to
time thereafter, upon the direction of the Administrative Agent, return to the Administrative
Agent, who shall, in turn, return to the CL Lenders (ratably in accordance with their CL
Percentages), their Credit-Linked Deposits to the extent that the aggregate amount thereof from
time to time exceeds the greater of (x) the Total Credit-Linked Commitment after giving effect to
prior reductions thereto or terminations thereof and (y) the Aggregate CL Exposure at such time.
If at any time, and for any reason, any Issuing Bank or Bank Guaranty Issuer is required to
return to the respective Account Party (or any other Person) or otherwise disgorge amounts in
respect
-32-
of payments previously received by it from (or on behalf of) any Account Party or other
Credit Party in respect of payments theretofore received by the respective Issuing Bank or Bank
Guaranty Issuer in respect of Drawings or Bank Guaranty Payments, as the case may be, previously
made, then the respective Issuing Bank or Bank Guaranty Issuer shall be entitled to treat the
amounts so returned or disgorged as not having been paid to it (by the respective Account Party or
other Credit Party) for purposes of this Agreement and shall be entitled to reimbursement as
provided in the relevant provisions of Section 2A or 2B, as the case may be, and, without limiting
the foregoing, to the extent that Credit-Linked Deposits have previously been returned to the CL
Lenders (in accordance with the provisions of preceding clause (a) or otherwise), the respective
Issuing Bank or Bank Guaranty Issuer shall be entitled to be indemnified by the CL Lenders for the
amount so returned or disgorged (and the CL Lenders hereby agree to so indemnify the respective
Issuing Bank or Bank Guaranty Issuer); provided that no CL Lender shall be obligated
pursuant to this clause (b) to make payments, in the aggregate, of amounts in excess of the amount
of Credit-Linked Deposits actually returned to it.
Section 3. Fees; Termination of Commitments.
3.01 Fees.
(a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each CL Lender (based on each such CL Lender’s CL Percentage) a fee (the “CL
Facility Fee”) equal to the sum of (I) a rate per annum equal to the CL Applicable Margin on
the Total Credit-Linked Commitment as in effect from time to time (or, if terminated, on the
aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time), (II) a rate per annum equal to
the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount as in effect from time to time on the amount of the Total
Credit-Linked Commitment as in effect from time to time (or, if terminated, on the aggregate amount
of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time) and (III) for the period commencing on the
effective date of Amendment 1, a rate per annum equal to the amount, if any, by which (x) 3.00%
exceeds (y) the LIBOR Rate in effect for the Interest Period with respect to which such CL Facility
Fee is being paid on the amount of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment as in effect from time to
time (or, if terminated, on the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time),
in each case for the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date (or in the case of
subclause (III) above, the effective date of Amendment 1) to and including the date on which the
Total Credit-Linked Commitment has been terminated, all remaining Credit-Linked Deposits have been
returned to the CL Lenders or applied to pay amounts owing with respect to Letters of Credit and/or
Bank Guaranties as more fully provided in Sections 2A and 2B hereof, all Unpaid Drawings and all
Unreimbursed Payments (including, in each case, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) have been
paid in full and all Letters of Credit and all Bank Guaranties have been terminated. Accrued CL
Facility Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each CL Interest Payment Date and on
the first date upon which the Total Credit-Linked Commitment has been terminated, all remaining
Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the CL Lenders or applied to pay amounts owing with
respect to Letters of Credit and/or Bank Guaranties as more fully provided in Sections 2A and 2B
hereof, all Unpaid
Drawings and all Unreimbursed Payments (including, in each case, all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon) have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit and all Bank Guaranties have
been terminated.
(b) Each Account Party agrees to pay to the respective Issuing Lender, for its own account, in
Dollars, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for its account hereunder (the
"Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance or renewal of such
Letter of Credit to and including the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed
at a rate equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit;
provided that in no event shall the annual Facing Fee with respect to any Letter of Credit
be less than the Minimum Applicable Facing Fee; it being agreed that (i) on the date of issuance of
any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the
-33-
termination of such Letter of
Credit, if the Minimum Applicable Facing Fee will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue
with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding 12-month period, the full
Minimum Applicable Facing Fee shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and
on each such anniversary thereof prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit and (ii) if on
the date of the termination of any Letter of Credit, the Minimum Applicable Facing Fee actually
exceeds the amount of Facing Fees paid or payable with respect to such Letter of Credit for the
period beginning on the date of the issuance thereof (or, if the respective Letter of Credit has
been outstanding for more than one year, the date of the last anniversary of the issuance thereof
occurring prior to the termination of such Letter of Credit) and ending on the date of the
termination thereof, an amount equal to such excess shall be paid as additional Facing Fees with
respect to such Letter of Credit on the next date upon which Facing Fees are payable in accordance
with the immediately succeeding sentence. Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each CL Interest
Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Credit-Linked
Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Account Party has paid advance facing
fees to any Issuing Lender with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit pursuant to the Original
Credit Agreement, there shall be credited against the Facing Fees due to such Issuing Lender under
this Agreement the amount of such advance facing fees which related to periods after the
Restatement Effective Date.
(c) The respective Account Party agrees to pay to the respective Issuing Lender, in Dollars,
for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit,
such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge which such Issuing
Lender is customarily charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of, Letters of Credit
issued by it.
(d) Each Account Party agrees to pay to the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer, for its own
account, in Dollars, a fronting fee in respect of each Bank Guaranty issued to it hereunder (the
"
Fronting Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance or renewal of such
Bank Guaranty to and including the termination or expiration of such Bank Guaranty, computed at a
rate equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the daily Face Amount of such Bank Guaranty,
provided
that in no event shall the annual Fronting Fee with respect to any Bank Guaranty be less than the
Minimum Applicable Fronting Fee; it being agreed that (i) on the date of issuance of any Bank
Guaranty and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination of such Bank Guaranty, if the
Minimum Applicable Fronting Fee will exceed the amount of Fronting Fees that will accrue with
respect to such Bank Guaranty for the immediately succeeding 12-month period, the full Minimum
Applicable Fronting Fee shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Bank Guaranty and on each
such anniversary thereof prior to the termination of such Bank Guaranty and (ii) if on the date of
the termination of any Bank Guaranty, the Minimum Applicable Fronting Fee actually exceeds the
amount of Fronting Fees paid or payable with respect to such Bank Guaranty for the period beginning
on the date of the issuance thereof (or, if the respective Bank Guaranty has been
outstanding for more than one year, the date of the last anniversary of the issuance thereof
occurring prior to the termination of such Bank Guaranty) and ending on the date of the termination
thereof, an amount equal to such excess shall be paid as additional Fronting Fees with respect to
such Bank Guaranty on the next date upon which Fronting Fees are payable in accordance with the
immediately succeeding sentence. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, accrued
Fronting Fees shall be due and payable, quarterly in arrears on each CL Interest Payment Date and
upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment upon which no
Bank Guaranties remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, to the extent that any Account Party has paid advance fronting fees to any Bank Guaranty
Issuer with respect to any Existing Bank Guaranty pursuant to the Original
Credit Agreement, there
shall be credited against the Fronting Fees due to such
-34-
Bank Guaranty Issuer under this Agreement
the amount of such advance fronting fees which related to periods after the Restatement Effective
Date.
(e) The respective Account Party agrees to pay to the respective Bank Guaranty Issuer, in
Dollars, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Bank
Guaranty, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge which such
Bank Guaranty Issuer is customarily charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of,
Bank Guaranties issued by it.
(f) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Incremental
Term Loan Lender such fees and other amounts, if any, as are specified in the relevant Incremental
Term Loan Commitment Agreement, with the fees and other amounts, if any, to be payable on the
respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Date.
(g) Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Agent, for its own account, such other fees as have
been agreed to in writing by such Borrower and the Agents.
(h) All computations of Fees shall be made in accordance with Section 13.07(b).
3.02 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments and Adjustments of Commitments.
(a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice from an Authorized Officer of the
applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Incremental Term Loan
Lenders), the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time, without premium or penalty, to terminate the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment
at such time, in whole or in part, in aggregate minimum amounts of at least $1,000,000 in the case
of partial reductions, with the amount of each reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) to apply
proportionately and permanently reduce the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of each Lender with
such a Commitment. Each reduction to the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this
Section 3.02(a) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Incremental Term Loan Scheduled
Repayments of the respective Tranche of Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the
then remaining principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche
after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).
(b) Upon at least three 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 CL
Lenders), the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without
premium or penalty, to terminate the Total Unutilized Credit-Linked Commitment in whole, or reduce
it in part in aggregate minimum amounts of $1,000,000, provided that no such reduction
shall be permitted to be
made pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) if the effect thereof is to cause the Aggregate CL
Exposure to exceed the Total Credit-Linked Commitment after giving effect to the reduction thereto
pursuant to this Section 3.02(b). Each reduction to the Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to
this Section 3.02(b) shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Credit-Linked
Commitment of each CL Lender (based on their respective CL Percentages). At the time of any
termination or reduction of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02(b),
the Administrative Agent shall request the Deposit Bank to (and the Deposit Bank agrees that it
will) withdraw from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same over to the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall return to the CL Lenders (ratably in accordance with
their respective CL Percentages) their Credit-Linked Deposits in
-35-
an amount by which the aggregate
amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the Total Credit-Linked Commitment as in
effect immediately after giving effect to such termination.
(c) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender as provided in Section 4.01 or 13.12(b) to
consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this
Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the applicable Incremental Term Loan
Borrower may, subject to the applicable requirements of said Sections 4.01 and/or 13.12(b), upon
five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), terminate the
Incremental Term Loan Commitments, if any, and/or the Credit Linked Commitment, if any, of such
Lender, so long as (x) all Loans, Unpaid Drawings and Unreimbursed Payments (to the extent that
such Lender’s Credit-Linked Commitment is being terminated), together with accrued and unpaid
interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (excluding amounts owing in respect of
Loans of any Tranche maintained by such Lender which are not being repaid pursuant to Section
13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time
Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and (y) after giving effect to
such termination (and the adjustments to the CL Percentages of the remaining Lenders as
contemplated below), the Individual CL Exposure of any remaining CL Lender shall not exceed its
Credit-Linked Commitment. After giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of any Lender
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.02(c), unless the respective Lender continues to have
outstanding Term Loans or other Commitments (if any) hereunder, such Lender shall no longer
constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06, 4.04, 13.01 and
13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. In cases where the Credit-Linked Commitments
of any Lender are terminated pursuant to this Section 3.02(c), except in cases where the respective
Credit-Linked Commitments are replaced in full, after giving effect to the termination of any such
Credit-Linked Commitments of a given Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02(c), there shall occur
automatic adjustments (as determined by the Administrative Agent) in the respective CL Percentages
of the remaining CL Lenders in accordance with the definition of CL Percentage contained herein.
At the time of any termination of a CL Lender’s Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to this Section
3.02(c), the Administrative Agent shall request the Deposit Bank to (and the Deposit Bank agrees
that it will) withdraw from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same over to the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall return to such CL Lender its Credit-Linked
Deposit; provided that if, and to the extent, the respective CL Lender is replaced by way
of assignment, then its Credit-Linked Deposit shall remain in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and
the respective assignee shall pay the assigning CL Lender an amount equal to the Credit-Linked
Deposit so assigned. Each reduction to the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this
Section 3.02(c) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Incremental Term Loan Scheduled
Repayments of the respective Tranche of Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the
then remaining principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche
after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).
3.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.
(a) The Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments shall terminate in full on the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date (after giving effect to the making of Tranche B-1 Term Loans on such date).
(b) The Tranche C-1 Term Loan Commitments shall terminate in full on the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date (after giving effect to the making of Tranche C-1 Term Loans on such date).
(c) The Total Credit-Linked Commitment shall be reduced on the dates, and in the amounts,
provided in Sections 2A.04(c) and 2B.04(c). At the time of any termination or reduction of the
-36-
Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to Section 2A.04(c), Section 2B.04(c), this Section 3.03 or
Section 10, the actions required by Section 2C.04(a) shall be taken. Each reduction to, or
termination of, the Total Credit-Linked Commitment shall be applied to proportionately reduce or
terminate, as the case may be, the Credit-Linked Commitment of each CL Lender (in accordance with
their respective CL Percentages).
(d) The Incremental Term Loan Commitments under a given Tranche shall terminate in full on the
Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date in respect of such Tranche (after giving effect to any
Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche to be made on such date).
Section 4. Prepayments; Repayments; Taxes.
4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans
made to such Borrower, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 1.11), and the right to
allocate such prepayments to Loans of a given Tranche, as such Borrower elects, in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions:
(i) an Authorized Officer of such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its
Notice Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its
intent to prepay the Loans, specifying the Tranche or Tranches of the Loans to be prepaid,
the Types of Loans to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing
or Borrowings pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Authorized Officer
of such Borrower (x) prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) at least one Business Day prior to
the date of such prepayment in the case of Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans and (y) prior
to 10:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such
prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans, which notice shall be promptly transmitted by
the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders;
(ii) each partial prepayment applied to any Tranche of Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of at least $1,000,000, provided that if any partial prepayment of
Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar
Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $5,000,000, then such Borrowing
may not be continued as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans beyond the Interest Period
applicable thereto and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by such
Borrower shall have no force or effect;
(iii) each prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be
applied pro rata among such Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing; and
(iv) each prepayment of principal of Loans of a given Tranche pursuant to this Section
4.01 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective
Tranche of Term Loans in the manner specified by the applicable Borrower in the
applicable prepayment notice.
4.02 Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions.
(a) If on any date the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings and Bank Guaranty
Outstandings exceeds the Total Credit-Linked Commitment as then in effect, the U.S. Borrower or the
Bermuda Borrower (as determined by the U.S. Borrower) (subject to clause (x) of the proviso to this
clause (a)) agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount
of cash and/or Cash Equivalents in Dollars equal to such excess, such cash or Cash Equiva-
-37-
xxxxx to
be held as security for all Obligations of the respective Borrower (including, without limitation,
in the case of the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the Borrower Guaranty) to the Issuing Lenders, Bank
Guaranty Issuers and Lenders relating to Letters of Credit and Bank Guaranties (and reimbursement
and other Obligations relating thereto) hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established
by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent; provided that (x)
the aggregate amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents paid by the Bermuda Borrower to the
Administrative Agent under this clause (a) shall not at any time exceed the sum of the Letter of
Credit Outstandings (with respect to Bermuda Borrower Letters of Credit) and the Bank Guaranty
Outstandings (with respect to Bermuda Borrower Bank Guaranties) at such time and (y) any such cash
and/or Cash Equivalents shall first be applied to repay any amounts owing to the respective Issuing
Lender and Bank Guaranty Issuer as described in Section 2C.03 hereof.
(b) (i) On each date set forth below, the U.S. Borrower shall repay the principal amount of
Tranche B-1 Term Loans set forth opposite such date (each such repayment, as the same may be
reduced as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02(g), a “Tranche B-1 Term Loan Scheduled
Repayment”):

|
(iii) Each Incremental Term Loan Borrower shall be required to make, with respect to each
Tranche of Incremental Term Loans of such Incremental Term Loan Borrower, to the extent then
outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans on the dates
and in the principal amounts set forth in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement
(each such repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in Sections 3.02, 4.01 and 4.02(g), an
"Incremental Term Loan Scheduled Repayment”); provided that, if any Incremental
Term Loans are incurred which will be added to (and form part of) an existing Tranche of Term
Loans, the amount of the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche shall be
proportionally increased (with the aggregate amount of increases to the then remaining Scheduled
Repayments to equal the aggregate principal amount of such new Incremental Term Loans then being
incurred).
(c) Not later than the fifth Business Day after the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
receives Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale that is consummated after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02 (g) and (h);
provided that Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than (x) Net Sale Proceeds from
any Contemplated Asset Sale and (y) the proceeds from any sale of Principal Properties (other than
one Principal Property) made in reliance on Section 9.02(xiv)) shall not give rise to a mandatory
repayment on such date as otherwise required above, so long as no Specified Default and no Event of
Default exists at the time such Net Sale
Proceeds are received and an Authorized Officer of the U.S. Borrower has delivered a
certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale
Proceeds shall be used (or contractually committed to be used) to purchase capital assets used or
to be used in a Permitted Business (other than inventory) within 360 days following the date of
receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale; provided, however, that (I)
if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not so used within such 360-day period (or
contractually committed within such period to be used), such remaining portion shall be applied on
the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment as provided above (without giving effect to
the immediately preceding proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not
required to be applied on the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this
proviso because such amount is contractually committed within such period to be used and then
either (A) subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion
being so used or
-40-
(B) such contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after
the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such remaining
portion shall be applied as a mandatory repayment as provided above (without giving effect to the
immediately preceding proviso).
(d) On each date on or after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date on which the U.S. Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any incurrence of Indebtedness which is not
permitted to be incurred by this Agreement, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the
respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with
the requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h).
(e) Within 10 days following each date on or after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date on which
the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event (other
than proceeds from Recovery Events in an amount less than $10,000,000 per Recovery Event), an
amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs (including,
without limitation, legal costs and expenses) and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery
Event and the amount of such proceeds required to be used to repay any Indebtedness (other than
Indebtedness of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement) which is secured by the respective assets
subject to such Recovery Event) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h); provided that so long as no Specified Default and
no Event of Default then exists, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date
to the extent that an Authorized Officer of the U.S. Borrower has delivered a certificate to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds shall be used (or
contractually committed to be used) within 360 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds
from such Recovery Event to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such
proceeds were paid, and provided, further, that (I) if all or any portion of such
proceeds are not so used (or contractually committed to be used) within such 360-day period, such
remaining portion shall be applied as a mandatory repayment as provided above (without giving
effect to the immediately preceding proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such proceeds are
not required to be applied on the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this
proviso because such amount is contractually committed to be used and then either (A) subsequent to
such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used or (B) such
contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after the last day of such 360-day
period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such remaining portion, in the case of either of
the preceding clauses (A) or (B), shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment
reduction as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso).
(f) On each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder (if positive) of (x)
the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow
Payment Period minus (y) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of Loans made as a
voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof with internally generated funds during the
relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h).
(g) (I) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) in
accordance with this Section 4.02(g) shall be applied, subject to the succeeding clause (IV), to
repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.
(II) Each amount required to be applied to repay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 4.02(g) shall, subject to the succeeding clause (IV) and the immediately succeeding
proviso, be applied pro rata to each Tranche of Term Loans (based upon the TL Repayment Percentages
of the various Tranches of
Term Loans and the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective
Tranches of
-41-
Term Loans); provided that (i) an amount equal to the Net Sale Proceeds from
any Asset Sale effected by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and proceeds from
any Recovery Event with respect to the properties or assets of the U.S. Borrower or any of its
Domestic Subsidiaries and, in each case, required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans
pursuant to clause (I) of this Section 4.02(g), shall be applied (x) first, to repay principal of
outstanding Tranche B-1 Term Loans and U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans, if any (on a pro rata
basis to each Tranche of U.S. Borrower Term Loans based on the then outstanding principal amount of
the Tranche B-1 Term Loans and each such Tranche of U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans) and (y)
second, after the repayment in full of all outstanding U.S. Borrower Term Loans, to repay principal
of outstanding Tranche C-1 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans (on a pro rata
basis to each such Tranche of Term Loans based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of such
Tranches of Term Loans) and (ii) an amount equal to the Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale
effected by any Foreign Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and the proceeds from any Recovery Event
with respect to the properties or assets of any Foreign Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and, in
each case, required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to clause (I) of this
Section 4.02(g), shall be applied (x) first, to repay principal of outstanding Tranche C-1

principal amount of such Tranches of U.S. Borrower Term Loans).
(III) All repayments of outstanding Term Loans of a given Tranche pursuant to Section 4.02(c),
(d), (e) or (f) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the
respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal
amounts of the Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior
reductions thereto).
(IV) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02, neither the U.S. Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be obligated to apply any Net Sale Proceeds pursuant to this
Section 4.02(g) to the extent attributable to any Asset Sales of ABL Priority Collateral
(including, in the case of an Asset Sale consisting of the sale of all or substantially all of the
capital stock or equity interests in, any U.S. Credit Party, that portion of the proceeds
determined in good faith by the U.S. Borrower to be attributable to the ABL Priority Collateral
owned by such U.S. Credit Party at the time of the consummation of such Asset Sale) to the extent
that such Net Sale Proceeds are required to be and are applied to the repayment of ABL Loans (or to
the permanent reduction of any commitment under the ABL
Credit Agreement) in accordance with the
terms of the ABL Credit Agreement.
(h) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the applicable
Borrower may (subject to the requirements of the preceding Section 4.02(g)) designate the Types of
Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the
specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made, provided
that (i) in the case of repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 on any day
other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, such repayments shall be
accompanied by payment by the applicable Borrower of all amounts owing in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 1.11 and (ii) each repayment of any Tranche of Loans made pursuant to a
Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Tranche of Loans. In the absence of a designation
by the applicable Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall,
subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation,
to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.11(a)
-42-
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, all
outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date for such Loans.
(j) For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that none of Sections 4.02(c) through
(f), inclusive, shall require that amounts received by any Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign
Subsidiaries be used to repay Obligations owed by any U.S. Credit Parties, but that such Sections
merely determine the amounts required to be applied by the Borrowers to the repayment of their
Obligations as more fully described in this Section 4.02.
4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due
and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same
day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York
time)) like funds relating to payment of principal, interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders
entitled thereto. Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than 2:00 P.M. (New York
time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment
to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of
principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.
4.04 Net Payments.
(a) All payments made by any Credit Party under any Credit Document (including, in the case of
a Borrower, in its capacity as a guarantor pursuant to Section 14) or under any Note will be made
without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such
payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or
hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second
succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income 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) and
all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as
"Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the respective Borrower (and any other
Credit Party making the payment) agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional
amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under
any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than
the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes
pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the applicable Borrower (and any other Credit Party making
the payment) shall be obligated to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender,
for the net additional taxes (after taking into account available credits with respect to such
withholding taxes) imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender pursuant to the laws of
the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable
lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing
authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal
office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as
such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such
amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of
any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence, the applicable Bor-
-43-
rower
(or Credit Party) will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date of the
payment of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing
such payment by such Borrower (or the respective other Credit Party). The Borrowers jointly and
severally agree (and each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its respective Subsidiary Guaranty, and
the incorporation by reference therein of the provisions of this Section 4.04, shall agree) to
indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for
the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.
(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or
transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04 (unless the
respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer),
on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original
signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete
exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement
as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments
to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty)
pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any
such certificate, a “Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio
interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to
a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be
made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to
time after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances
renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver
to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any
income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section
4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to
confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in
United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it
shall immediately notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver
any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such
Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding
sentence, (x) the U.S. Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to
deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable by the U.S.
Borrower hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term
is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent
that such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that
establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall
not be obligated pursuant
to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in
respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided
to the U.S. Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the U.S.
Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to
a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete
exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section
13.04(b), the U.S. Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each
-44-
Lender in the
manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring
the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in
the immediately preceding sentence (x) as a result of any changes after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date (or, if later, the date such Lender became party to this Agreement) in any
applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation
thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar taxes or (y) as a result of
the purchase of a participation as required by Section 1.14 following the occurrence of a Sharing
Event.

Document 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 (except 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).
6.02 Notice of Borrowing; Letter of Credit Request; etc.
(a) Prior to the making of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of

proceeds of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation and warranty by each Borrower to
each Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 6 (with respect to
Credit Events on and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date) and applicable to such Credit Event
(other than such conditions that are expressly subject to the satisfaction of the Agents and/or the

which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans, the
funding of the Credit-Linked Deposits and the issuance (or deemed issuance) of the Letters of
Credit and Bank Guaranties (with the occurrence of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and each
Credit Event on or after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date being deemed to constitute a

all material respects on and as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and on and as of the date of
each such Credit Event, 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

7.01 Company Status. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a
duly organized and validly existing Company in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of

the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the
Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary Company action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. Each Credit
Party and each Subsidiary thereof has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it

such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the
enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
7.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party
or any Subsidiary thereof of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by any
Credit Party or any such Subsidiary with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation of
the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (i) will contravene any material provision of any
applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach
of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or

Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its material property or assets are bound or to
which it may be subject or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation,
by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of limited liability

connection therewith. All proceeds of Incremental Term Loans incurred by each Incremental Term
Loan Borrower shall be used for any purpose permitted under this Agreement, including, without

its Subsidiaries (for such purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by the U.S. Borrower or
such Subsidiary for the respective shares of Margin Stock) does not exceed $10,000,000. 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, Regulation U or

heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries in

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 any such Persons in writing
to any Agent or any Lender will be, 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 material
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, it being
understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 7.08, such factual information shall not
include the Projections or any projected financial information contained in any financial
projections delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(c).
-47-
7.09 Financial Condition; Financial Statements.
(a) On and as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect
to the Refinancing, with respect to each Borrower (on a stand-alone basis), and each Borrower and
its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) (x) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of each
Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and each Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis)
will exceed its or their debts, (y) it has or they have not incurred nor intended to, nor believes
or believe that it or they will, incur debts beyond its or their ability to pay such debts as such
debts mature and (z) it or they will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its or their
business. For purposes of this Section 7.09(a), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim”
means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated,
unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable,
secured or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach
gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment,
fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of
contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all facts
and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to
become an actual or matured liability.
(b) The audited consolidated statements of financial condition of the U.S. Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries at December 30, 2006, December 29, 2007 and January 3, 2009 and the
related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the
U.S. Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Years of the U.S. Borrower ended on
such dates, in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date,
present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the U.S. Borrower
and its Consolidated Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the
respective periods covered thereby.
(c) Since January 3, 2009, nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Except as fully reflected in the financial statements described in Section 7.09(b) and as
otherwise permitted by Section 9.04, (i) there were as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (and
after giving effect to any Loans made on such date), no liabilities or obligations with respect to
the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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 be material to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole and (ii) no Borrower knows of any basis for the assertion against the U.S. Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries of any such liability or obligation which, either individually or in the
aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The Projections have been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements
referred to in Section 7.09(b) and are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the
management of the U.S. Borrower, and on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Borrowers believe
that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
projections of future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results contained
therein. There is no fact known to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been disclosed herein or
in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders for use in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby.
7.10 Security Interests. On and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, each of the
Security Documents creates (or after the execution and delivery thereof will create), as security
for the
-48-
Obligations covered thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and
Lien on all of the Collateral subject thereto, superior to and prior to the rights of all third
Persons, and subject to no other Liens (except that, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement, (i) the Security Agreement Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens, (ii) the Pledge
Agreement Collateral may be subject to the Liens described in clauses (i), (iv) and (v) of Section
9.03 and clauses (y) and (z) of Section 9.03(iii) and (iii) the security interest and mortgage lien
created on any Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto), in
favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee or sub-agent as may be required or desired
under local law). No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect and/or render
enforceable as against third parties the security interests created under any Security Document
except for filings or recordings required in connection with any such Security Document which shall
have been made on or prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date or on or prior to the execution
and delivery thereof as contemplated by Section 8.10.
7.11 Compliance with ERISA.
(a) Schedule V sets forth, as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, each Plan and each
Multiemployer Plan. Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in
compliance in all respects with its terms and in all respects with all applicable laws, including,
without limitation, ERISA and the Code, except to the extent that any such noncompliances,
individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; except as would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan (and each related trust, if
any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a
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 (or the sponsor has applied for such determination letter
within the remedial amendment period); except as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (1) no Reportable Event has occurred; (2) to the knowledge of any Senior
Officer, no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; (3) no Plan has an Unfunded
Current Liability; (4) no Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA

accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Subsidiaries to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force
and effect its existence and its material rights, franchises, authorities to do business, licenses,

8.11 Additional Security; Additional Guaranties; Actions with Respect to Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries; Further Assurances.
(a) Each Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries which are Credit Parties to, grant to
the Collateral Agent security interests and mortgages (each, an “Additional Mortgage”) in:
(i) each vessel acquired by such Person after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and having an
initial book value in excess of $5,000,000 and (ii) such fee-owned (or the equivalent) Real
Property acquired by such Person after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and having an initial
book value in excess of
$10,000,000 which is not covered by the Mortgages or Foreign Security Agreements in effect on
the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, as appropriate (each such Real Property referred to in this
clause (ii), an “Additional Mortgaged Property”); provided, however, that
if the aggregate initial book value of all Second-Tier Material Real Properties acquired by such
Persons after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date which are not then covered by Mortgages or Foreign
Security Agreements, as appropriate, equals or exceeds $20,000,000, each Credit Party shall grant
to the Collateral Agent security interests and mortgages in all such Second-Tier Material Real
Properties owned by any such Person which are not then covered by Mortgages or Foreign Security
Agreements, as appropriate (and not just those required to re-
-60-
duce the aggregate value of all
Second-Tier Material Real Properties (determined as provided above) at such time below
$20,000,000). All such Additional Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any “after-acquired property”
covenant contained in any Foreign Security Document requiring the grant of a mortgage in
“after-acquired” Real Property of any Foreign Credit Party in favor of the Collateral Agent, no
Foreign Credit Party shall be required to grant to the Collateral Agent an Additional Mortgage in
any Real Property of such Foreign Credit Party acquired after the Initial Borrowing Date as
otherwise required by the respective Foreign Security Document unless and until the grant of such
Additional Mortgage would otherwise be required pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.11(a).
(b) The U.S. Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, at its own expense,
take such further actions relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as
the Collateral Agent may reasonably require pursuant to this Section 8.11. Furthermore, the U.S.
Borrower will cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel and other
related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to assure itself that this
Section 8.11 has been complied with.
(c) Subject to the provisions of the following clauses (e) and (f), if (w) at any time any
Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (other than an Excluded JV) is created, established or
acquired, the U.S. Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver counterparts of the
U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Intercompany Subordination Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement,
the U.S. Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement and comply with the provisions of Section
8.11(a) and the provisions of the U.S. Security Agreement and U.S. Pledge Agreement, (x) at any
time any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (other than an Excluded JV) organized under the laws of
any Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdiction is created, established or acquired, such Subsidiary shall be
required to execute and deliver counterparts of the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Intercompany
Subordination Agreement and such Security Documents as may be specified by the Administrative Agent
(which shall, to the extent applicable, be consistent with the Security Documents entered into by
other Foreign Credit Parties organized under the laws of such Qualified Non-U.S. Jurisdiction), (y)
at any time any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (other than an Excluded JV) organized under the
laws of any Non-Qualified Jurisdiction in which a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement
was organized on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date is created, established or acquired, such
Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver counterparts of the Foreign Subsidiaries
Guaranty and, in each case, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees based on advice of
local counsel, the Intercompany Subordination Agreement and such Security Documents as may be
specified by the Administrative Agent (which shall, to the extent applicable, be consistent with
the Security Documents entered into by other Foreign Credit Parties organized under the laws of
such Non-Qualified Jurisdiction) and (z) if at any time after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date
any jurisdiction is added to the list of Qualified Jurisdictions in accordance with the definition
thereof contained herein, then at the time of such designation each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the
U.S. Borrower organized under the laws of such Qualified Jurisdiction specified by the U.S.
Borrower shall be required to become a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor and take all actions specified
in the preceding clause (x).
(d) At such time as any Equity Interests owned by any Credit Party cease to be Excluded
Collateral, the Credit Parties shall take such actions as may be required by the U.S. Pledge
Agreement and the other Security Documents or any other documents that are reasonably requested by
the Collateral Agent in order to ensure that the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority
security interest therein, provided that in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a
corporation (or treated as such for U.S. tax purposes) that is owned by a U.S. Credit Party, not
more than 65% of the total outstanding voting Equity Interests of such Person shall be required to
be pledged in support of such U.S. Credit Party’s ob-
-61-
ligations (x) as a Borrower under the Credit
Agreement (in the case of the U.S. Borrower) or (y) under its Guaranty in respect of the
Obligations of the U.S. Borrower (in the case of the other U.S. Subsidiary Guarantors).
(e) Each action required above by Section 8.11(a), (b), (c) or (d) shall be completed no later
than 90 days (or, in the case of actions relating to assets located outside the United States, such
greater number of days as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in its sole and absolute
discretion in any given case) after such action is required pursuant to such clause,
provided that in the case of a newly-formed Subsidiary organized in (i) a Qualified
Non-U.S. Jurisdiction or (ii) a Non-Qualified Jurisdiction in which an existing Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor is organized, such action shall not be required to be taken until the gross book value of
its assets (determined as of the last day of the calendar month then last ended) is greater than
$10,000,000, unless the aggregate gross book value of all newly-formed Subsidiaries which have not
executed Security Documents in reliance on this proviso (determined as of the last day of the
calendar month then last ended) exceeds $20,000,000, at which time all such excluded Subsidiaries
(and not just those Subsidiaries required to reduce the aggregate gross book value of such excluded
Subsidiaries to below $20,000,000) shall execute the required Credit Documents.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (c) through (e) above, to
the extent the taking of any action as described above by a new Subsidiary acquired pursuant to a
Permitted Acquisition, which is subject to Permitted Acquired Debt which at such time remains in
existence as permitted by Section 9.04(b)(vi), then to the extent that the terms of the respective
Permitted Acquired Debt prohibit the taking of any actions which would otherwise be required of
such Subsidiary by this Section 8.11, then the time for taking the respective actions (to the
extent prohibited by the terms of the respective Permitted Acquired Debt) shall be extended until
10 Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date of repayment of such Permitted Acquired Debt and
(ii) the first date on which the taking of such actions would not violate the terms of the
respective issue of Permitted Acquired Debt. Furthermore, to the extent any Subsidiary which is
not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition (in accordance with
the limitations contained in the definition thereof), then for so long as such Subsidiary is not a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to the extent the U.S. Borrower in good faith determines that the
respective Subsidiary is not able, under applicable requirements of law (whether because of
fiduciary duties under applicable law or other requirements of applicable law) to execute and
deliver any Credit Documents such Subsidiary would otherwise be required to execute in accordance
with this Section 8.11, such Subsidiary shall not be required to take such actions as would
otherwise be required above.
(g) Within 30 days following the request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or
the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall cause each Fee Capped Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor (to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) to (x) enter into such amendments and/or
modifications to the relevant Credit Documents to which such Fee Capped Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor is a party to cause the guaranty amount or the secured obligations thereunder, as
applicable, to equal 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Property owned or held by such Fee Capped
Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor and (y) pay all registration, notarial and other fees, all taxes and
all other amounts as may be required in connection with the increase in amount of the guaranty and/or the secured obligations under such
Credit Documents.
(h) In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders at any time after the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date determine in their reasonable discretion (whether as a result of a
position taken by an applicable bank regulatory agency or official, or otherwise) that real estate
appraisals satisfying the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R., Part 34-Subpart C, or any successor
or similar statute, rule, regulation, guideline or order (any such appraisal, a “Required
Appraisal”) are or were required
-62-
to be obtained, or should be obtained, in connection with any
U.S. Mortgaged Property or U.S. Mortgaged Properties, then, within 90 days after receiving written
notice thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, the U.S.
Borrower shall cause such Required Appraisal to be delivered, at the expense of the U.S. Borrower,
to the Administrative Agent, which Required Appraisal, and the respective appraiser, shall be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(i) Notwithstanding any “after-acquired property” covenant contained in any Foreign Security
Document requiring the grant of security interests in Property of any Foreign Credit Party in favor
of the Collateral Agent (but subject to Section 8.11(a), no Foreign Credit Party shall be required
to grant the Collateral Agent security interests in Property of such Foreign Credit Party acquired
after the Initial Borrowing Date which is not a vessel and does not constitute Real Property (all
such Property, “After-Acquired Foreign Personal Property”) and which is not covered already
expressly by the respective Foreign Security Document as otherwise required by such Foreign
Security Document if the gross book value of all After-Acquired Foreign Personal Property of such
Foreign Credit Party (determined as of the last day of the calendar month then last ended) excluded
from the pledge requirements pursuant to this clause (i) is less than $10,000,000, unless (and
until) the aggregate gross book value of all After-Acquired Foreign Personal Property of all
Foreign Credit Parties excluded from the pledge requirements pursuant to this clause (i)
(determined as of the last day of the calendar month then last ended) exceeds $20,000,000, at which
time the Foreign Credit Parties shall take all actions required to be taken pursuant to the
respective Foreign Security Documents to grant the Collateral Agent a security interest in all
After-Acquired Foreign Personal Property as is required to cause the aggregate gross book value
(determined as described above) of all After-Acquired Foreign Personal Property of all Foreign
Credit Parties not then subject to a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to
the relevant Foreign Security Documents not to exceed $10,000,000.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 8.11 or elsewhere
in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, no Credit Party shall be required to grant a
security interest in, or Lien on, any Excluded Collateral (so long as the respective Property
constitutes Excluded Collateral), and the value of any Excluded Collateral shall not be taken into
account in making determinations pursuant to the foregoing clauses of this Section 8.11.
(k) No later than 45 days after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (or such later date as the
Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion), the applicable Credit Parties shall cause
to be executed and/or delivered, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent:
(i) with respect to the Foreign Security Documents, such amendments duly executed and
acknowledged by the applicable Credit Parties as may be requested by the Administrative
Agent in order to preserve and protect the validity of the Liens granted to the Collateral
Agent pursuant to such Foreign Security Documents;

U.S. Mortgaged Property, an amendment (each, a “Mortgage Amendment”) duly executed
and acknowledged by the applicable Credit Party in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
(iii) with respect to each Mortgage Amendment (other than with respect to the Mortgage
Amendment for the U.S. Mortgaged Properties in Florida and Hawaii), an endorsement or other
modification to the existing Mortgage Policy providing assurance reasonably satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent that the lien on such Mortgaged Property in favor of the Collateral
Agent shall continue to have the enforceability and priority in effect immediately prior to
the effectiveness of Amendment 1;
-63-

hazard area (x) a notice about special flood hazard area status and flood disaster
assistance duly executed by the applicable Credit Parties and (y) evidence of flood
insurance in amounts and otherwise sufficient to comply with applicable law; and
(vi) a copy of, or a certificate as to coverage under, the insurance policies required
by Section 8.03 in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
8.12 Use of Proceeds. The U.S. Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, use the proceeds of the Loans for the purposes specified in Section 7.05. Neither Borrower
will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, use any of the proceeds of the Loans, any
Letter of Credit or any Bank Guaranty to finance the acquisition of any Person that has not been
approved and recommended by the board of directors (or functional equivalent thereof) or the
requisite shareholders of such Person.
8.13 Ownership of Subsidiaries.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (x) the U.S.
Borrower shall at all times own directly or indirectly 100% of the capital stock of the Bermuda
Borrower and (y) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 8.13(b), the U.S. Borrower
shall at all times own directly or indirectly (through one or more Wholly-Owned Domestic
Subsidiaries (as opposed to through Foreign Subsidiaries)) all of the capital stock or other Equity
Interests (to the extent owned by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) of each Domestic
Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower.
(b) The Borrowers shall take all actions so that, at all times from and after the Amendment
No. 3 Effective Date, all the assets of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries located within the
United States, all Equity Interests in all Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons and all or
substantially all of the business of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries conducted in the United
States, are, in each case, owned or conducted, as the case may be, by the U.S. Borrower and one or
more Domestic Subsidiaries which are not direct or indirect Subsidiaries of any Foreign Subsidiary
of the U.S. Borrower, provided that if a Foreign Subsidiary (not itself created or
established in contemplation of a Permitted Acquisition) is acquired pursuant to a Permitted
Acquisition which Foreign Subsidiary has (either directly or through one or more Domestic
Subsidiaries) assets or operations in the United States, the U.S. Borrower shall have a reasonable
period of time (not to exceed 60 days) to effect the transfer of U.S. assets and operations
(including all Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons held by
it) of the respective Foreign Subsidiary to one or more Qualified U.S. Obligors,
provided, further, that the respective transfer shall not be required to be made if
the U.S. Borrower in good faith determines that such transfer would give rise to adverse tax
consequences to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries or would give rise to any material breach or
violation of law or contract (in which case, the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall transfer
such assets and operations at such time, if any, as such adverse tax consequences or breach or
violation would not exist and, until such time, shall use good faith efforts so that any growth in
the assets or operations of the foreign entity so acquired, to the extent located in the United
States, are made within one or more Qualified U.S. Obligors).
-64-
(c) The Borrowers shall take all actions so that all Foreign Subsidiaries that are not
Qualified Non-U.S. Obligors are directly or indirectly owned by one or more Qualified Non-U.S.
Obligors (or, in the case of the Bermuda Partnership, is owned by the Bermuda Partnership
Partners).
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions of
this Section 8.13 shall not prohibit the acquisition of, or Investments in, Non-Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries, provided that the Equity Interest owned by the U.S. Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries in such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, to the extent organized under the laws of any
Qualified Jurisdiction, shall be subject to the requirements of the preceding clauses (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section 8.13.
8.14 Maintenance of Company Separateness. The U.S. Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, satisfy customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular
board of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a
meeting and the maintenance of Company records. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result
in the Company existence of either Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of the U.S. Borrower or any other
Credit Party being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.
8.15 Performance of Obligations. The U.S. Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations under the terms of each mortgage, deed of trust,
indenture, loan agreement or credit agreement and each other material agreement, contract or
instrument by which it is bound, except such non-performances as, individually or in the aggregate,
have not caused, and could not reasonably be expected to cause, a Default or Event of Default
hereunder or a Material Adverse Effect.
8.16 Margin Stock. The U.S. Borrower shall take all actions so that at all times the
aggregate value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (for such purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by the U.S. Borrower or such
Subsidiary for the respective shares of Margin Stock) shall not exceed $10,000,000. So long as the
aggregate value of Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (determined as provided in the preceding sentence) does not exceed $10,000,000, all
Margin Stock at any time owned by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not constitute
Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant to any Credit Document.
Without excusing any violation of the first sentence of this Section 8.16, if at any time the
aggregate value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (determined as provided in the first sentence of this Section 8.16) exceeds
$10,000,000, then (x) all Margin Stock owned by the Credit Parties (except to the extent
constituting Excluded Collateral) shall be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the
relevant Security Documents and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lenders
appropriate com
pleted forms (including, without limitation, Forms G-3 and U-1, as appropriate) establishing
compliance with the Margin Regulations.

Document is entered into by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date or (y) any change in applicable law governing any Foreign Security Document relevant
to the scope of the Obligations covered by such Foreign Security Document or the Secured Creditors
entitled to the benefits of such Foreign Security Document occurs after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date and, in any such case, the Collateral Agent (based on the advice of local counsel)
has determined that amendments to the respective Foreign Security Document are required to maintain
a valid and enforceable first

Document in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all of the Secured Creditors securing
all of the relevant Obligations (i.e., all Tranche C-1 Term Loans, all Bermuda Borrower
Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings thereunder, all Bermuda Borrower Bank Guaranties and
Unreimbursed Payments thereunder, and, after a given Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date, all
related incremental Obligations resulting from the provision of the respective Incremental Term
Loan Commitments to the Bermuda Borrower), then, within 90 days following the request of the
Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower shall duly authorize, execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent, or cause to be duly authorized, executed and delivered to the
Collateral Agent, a fully executed counterpart of an amendment to such Foreign Security Document,

otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Section 12. The Agents.
12.01 Appointment.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints (x) DBAG as Administrative Agent
for such Lender (for purposes of this Section 12 and the term “Agent” as used herein, the term
“Administrative Agent” shall mean DBAG in its capacities as Administrative Agent, Deposit Bank
-129-
and
as Collateral Agent hereunder and pursuant to the Security Documents), (y) BAS as Syndication Agent
for such Lender, and (z) Scotia Capital and Rabobank as Co-Documentation Agents for such Lender,
each to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each such Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and each Co-Documentation
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or
required of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents, as the
case may be, by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Agents may perform any of their
respective duties under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and
agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents,
employees or affiliates (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may
perform any of its duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of its
affiliates).
(b) The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents and the Lenders, and neither the U.S.
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of
the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each of the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall act solely as agent
for the Lenders, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the
Co-Documentation Agents assumes (and shall not be deemed to have assumed) any obligation or
relationship of agency or trust with or for the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
12.02 Nature of Duties.
(a) No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused
by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (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; no Agent shall 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 any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein, provided that the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be a trustee and stand in a
fiduciary relationship with respect to the Lenders and the holders of Notes for purposes of any
Security Document governed by the laws of a jurisdiction located outside the United States where
the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall determine, based on
advice of local counsel, that same is necessary or desirable for purposes of realizing the benefits
intended to be conferred pursuant to such Security Document, and the Lenders hereby irrevocably
designate each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as their trustee for such
purpose and authorize each of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to at any time and from time to time take all
actions (including, without limitation, making demand for all amounts then due and payable and the
exercise of other remedies) on their behalf in accordance with the terms of such Security Document
without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, and the Lenders hereby
agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (and each of their respective
officers, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents) and hold each of them
harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions),
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judg-
-130-
ments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements
(including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on
or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by
reason of, the taking of any action or any omission to take action under any such Security Document
unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit
Document, the Lead Arranger is 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 Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and
reimbursement rights in favor of “Agents” as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 12.07
and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lead Arranger 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 Certain Rights of the Agents. The Agents shall have the right (but shall be
under no obligation) to request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If any 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, such Agent shall be
entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have
received instructions from the Required Lenders; and such 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 any Agent or any of its
employees, directors, officers, agents or affiliates as a result of such Agent or such other person
acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with
the instructions of the Required Lenders.
12.04 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any note, writing,
resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram,
radiogram, order, telephone message or other document or conversation that such Agent believed, in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), 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 (which may be counsel for
the Credit Parties) and, with respect to other matters, upon advice of independent public
accountants or other experts selected by it.
12.05 Notice of Default, etc. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative
Agent has actually received written notice from a Lender or the U.S. Borrower or either Borrower
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a
notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
12.06 Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Independently and without reliance
upon any Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Lender and the holder of each
Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans, the issuance and the participation in
Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties and the taking or not taking of any action in connection
herewith and, except as ex-
-131-
pressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender, any Issuing
Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer 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 the
issuing of any Letter of Credit or any Bank Guaranty or at any time or times thereafter. No Agent
or their respective affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, agents or employees
shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer or the holder of
any Note for, or be required or have any duty to ascertain, inquire or verify the accuracy of, (i)
any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document,
certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, (ii) the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) the financial condition of the U.S. Borrower and any
of its Subsidiaries, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or
conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 of the Original Credit Agreement or Section 6, or (vi)
the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
12.07 Indemnification.
(a) 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 “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders
(determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders and at the time such indemnity is sought), for
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, 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 in its capacity as Agent, provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).
(b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and
under any other Credit Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or
under the Credit Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.
(c) The agreements in this Section 12.07 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.
12.08 Agents in Their Individual Capacities.
(a) With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit
or Bank Guaranties, 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,”
“Majority Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly
otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent and its 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 Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party
(or any Person engaged in a similar business with
-132-
any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if
they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration
from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
(b) Without limiting the provisions of preceding clause (a), the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that any Agent hereunder may also act in individual or agency capacities in connection
with other financings, including, without limitation, pursuant to the ABL Credit Documents. The
parties hereto agree to each of the Agents acting in such other individual and agency capacities,
and shall not raise any claim in connection therewith (except to the extent resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the respective such Person as an Agent hereunder).
12.09 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 or entity 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.
12.10 Resignation of the Agents.
(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties
hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, its functions and
duties as Collateral Agent) at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and,
unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 then exists, the U.S. Borrower. Any
such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation (if
applicable) as an Issuing Lender and Bank Guaranty Issuer, in which case the resigning
Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or Bank
Guaranties hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Bank Guaranty

below.

shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents
who shall be a commercial bank or trust company acceptable to the U.S. Borrower, which acceptance
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the U.S. Borrower’s approval
shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the U.S. Borrower’s consent shall not be
required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent
who shall serve as
Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c)
above by the 30th 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
-133-
Document until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided above.
(e) Upon a resignation of any Agent pursuant to this Section 12.10, such Agent shall remain

provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent for all of its
actions and inactions while serving as such Agent.

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, subject to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, 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 Collateral Agent is hereby authorized
on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any

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 the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to
release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral, subject to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) upon termination of the Commitments (and all Letters
of Credit and Bank Guaranties) and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of the
Obligations 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 the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other

Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for,
protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto

entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers
granted or available to the Collateral Agent in
this Section 12.11 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in
respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may
act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own
interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty
or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect

created under the Security Documents which are governed by German law), the Collateral Agent shall

Creditors and in its own name on the basis of the abstract acknowledgement of indebtedness pursuant
to Section 12.17 (Parallel Debt owed to the Collateral Agent).
d) For the purposes of performing its rights and obligations as Collateral Agent under any
accessory (akzessorische) German Security, each Secured Creditor hereby authorizes the Collateral
Agent to act as its agent (Stellvertreter), and releases the Collateral Agent from the restrictions
imposed by Section 181 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). At the request of the
Collateral Agent, each Secured Creditor shall provide the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent on such Secured Creditor’s behalf.
e) The Collateral 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 Creditors, the
Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent shall further be entitled to
rescind, release, amend and/or execute new and different documents securing the German Security.

12.14 Special Provisions Relating to Canadian Security Documents.
(a) For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent hereunder
or under any of the Foreign Security Documents, each of the Bermuda Borrower and the Secured
Creditors hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Agent is, for purposes of holding any security
granted by Xxxx Foods of Canada Ltd. (“Xxxx Canada”) on the property of Xxxx Canada
pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney
(fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future
Secured Creditors and in particular for all present and future holders of the bond issued by Xxxx
Canada in favor of the Collateral Agent (the “Canadian Bond”). Each of the Agents and
Lenders (for themselves as Secured Creditors and for the Other Creditors (as defined in the
security agreement governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario executed by Xxxx Canada (the
"Canadian Security Agreement”)) hereby irrevocably confirms the constitution of and
constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of
attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in
order to hold security granted by Xxxx Canada in the Province of Quebec to secure the Canadian
Bond. The acceptance of an assignment by an assignee of a Secured Creditor shall be deemed to have
confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Collateral Agent as the holder of such irrevocable
power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir). For greater certainty, by their acceptance of the benefits
of the Canadian Security Agreement, each of the Other Creditors (as defined in the Canadian
Security Agreement) shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the appointment of the
Collateral Agent for purposes of the Bond and the Bond pledge agreement to be entered into by Xxxx
Canada pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), each of the Bermuda Borrower,
the Agents and the Lenders (for themselves as Secured Creditors and for the Other Creditors) agree
that the Collateral Agent may acquire and be the holder of the Canadian Bond. The Bermuda Borrower
hereby acknowledges that the Canadian Bond constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is
used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.
(b) Each Lender irrevocably consents to the amendment of the Canadian Security Agreement
pursuant to the acknowledgement, confirmation and amendment of security dated as of the date hereof
between Xxxx Canada and the Collateral Agent.
12.15 Special Appointment of Collateral Agent (Italy).
(a) Without prejudice to the generality of Section 12.11:
(i) each Lender (including, without limitation, each Lender which is a Hedging Creditor
(as defined in the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty)) (as “mandante” under Italian law), by
executing this Agreement, irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent to act as agent
(“mandatario con rappresentanza” under Italian law) under and in connection with the Foreign
Security Documents governed by Italian law (collectively, the “Italian Collateral
Documents”) and irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent (x) to execute on its behalf
the Italian Collateral Documents, and (y) to perform the duties and to exercise the rights,
powers and discretions that are specifically delegated to it under or in connection with the
Italian Collateral Documents, together with any other incidental rights, powers and
discretions; and
(ii) each Lender (including, without limitation, each Lender which is a Hedging
Creditor (as defined in the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty)) irrevocably authorizes the
Collateral Agent for and on its behalf to exercise the rights, powers and discretions which
are specifically delegated to it by the terms of the Italian Collateral Documents and this
Agreement, together with all rights, powers and discretions which are incidental thereto and
to give any discharge for any monies payable under the Italian Collateral Documents.
-136-
(b) Notwithstanding Section 13.08 hereof, the provisions of this Section 12.15 shall be
governed by Italian law.
12.16 Continuing Indemnities for Original Agents. Notwithstanding the effectiveness
of Amendment No. 3, the parties hereto understand and agree that all indemnities provided pursuant
to the Original Credit Agreement (whether by the Original Lenders, the Borrowers or any other
Credit Party) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Original
Credit Agreement, for any actions or occurrences prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, in
accordance with the terms of the Original Credit Agreement. Any indemnities pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be in addition to any applicable indemnities hereunder.
12.17 Parallel Debt owed to the Collateral Agent
a) Each of the Guarantors resident in the Federal Republic of Germany (the “German
Guarantors”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent
as creditor in its own right and not as a representative of the Secured Creditors amounts equal to
any amounts owing from time to time by that German Guarantor to any Secured Creditor under any
Credit Document as and when those amounts are due for payment under the relevant Credit Document.
b) Each German Guarantor and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each
German Guarantor under paragraph a) are several and are separate and independent from, and shall
not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of the German Guarantors to any
Secured Creditor under any Credit Document (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts
for which each German Guarantor 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 German Guarantor 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 German Guarantor shall be decreased to the extent that its
Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged.
c) The Collateral 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 German Security granted under the Credit
Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.17,
and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any
German Security granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement.
e) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the German Guarantors
(whether under this Section 12.17 or under any other provision of the Credit Documents), each
German Guarantor acknowledges that:
(i) nothing in this Section 12.17 shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to
advance any sum to any German Guarantor or otherwise under any Credit Document, except in its
capacity as lender; and
-137-
(ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit Document, the Collateral Agent shall
not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its
capacity as a lender.
Section 13. Miscellaneous.
13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to: (i)
whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable

therewith (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) and the
protection of the rights of each Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank
Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank and each of the Lenders thereunder (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including in house counsel) for each
Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank and
each of the Lenders); (iii) pay and hold each of the Agents, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing
Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank and each of the Lenders harmless from and
against any and all present and future stamp, documentary, transfer, sales and use, value added,
excise and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters, the performance of any

each of the Agents, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer, the
Deposit Bank and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect
to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Agents,
the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank or such
Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iv) indemnify each Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing
Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank, each Lender, each affiliate of the foregoing
Persons and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, trustees, advisors,
and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any
and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by, imposed on or assessed
against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of,
(a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender,
any Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit
Bank or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not any
such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is between or among any Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank, any Lender, any Credit Party
or any third Person or otherwise) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement
or any other Document or the use of any Letter of Credit, Bank Guaranty or Credit-Linked Deposit
or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or any other transactions contemplated by any Document or
the exercise or enforcement of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other
Credit Documents (but excluding any such li-
-138-
abilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, actions, costs, expenses and disbursements to the extent incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision) of the Person to be indemnified), or (b) the actual or alleged presence of
Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any
Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries,
the Release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at
any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, the non-compliance of any Real Property with foreign, federal, state and local laws,
regulations, and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real
Property, or any Environmental Claim in connection with or relating to any Credit Party, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their operations or activities or any Real Property at any time owned,
leased or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and independent consultants incurred
in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs, expenses and
disbursements to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non appealable decision) of the
Person to be indemnified)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless
any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Bank Guaranty Issuer, the Deposit Bank or
any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any
law or public policy, the Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
13.02 Right of Setoff.
(a) 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 of an Event of Default, each
Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer, each Lender and the Collateral Agent is
hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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 such Agent, such
Issuing Lender, each Bank Guaranty Issuer, such Lender or the Collateral Agent (including, without
limitation, by branches and agencies of such Agent, such Lender or the Collateral Agent wherever
located) to or for the credit or the account of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the U.S. Borrower or such Subsidiary,
as the case may be, to such Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer, such Lender or
the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including,
without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section
13.06(b), all participations by any Lender in Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties as required
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement 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 such Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Bank Guaranty Issuer, such Lender or the
Collateral Agent shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations shall be
contingent or unmatured.
Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing participations in one or more Letters of
Credit or Bank Guaranties issued to it as required by the provisions of this Agreement, or
purchasing participations as required by Section 13.06(b), may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, exercise all rights (including without limitation the right of setoff) with respect to such
participations as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower with respect to
such participations in the amount thereof.
(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER
OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY
-139-
LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE
ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT
IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION
2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY,
PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY
DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED
EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT
OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b)
SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.
13.03 Notices.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable
communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to either
Borrower, at the address specified opposite its signature below; if to any Lender, at its address
specified for such Lender on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative Agent, at its Notice Office;
or, as to any either Borrower or any of the Agents, at such other address as shall be designated by
such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other
address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall be mailed, telegraphed, telexed,
telecopied or cabled or sent by overnight courier, and shall be effective when received.
(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, any Agent, any Issuing
Lender (in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit) or any Bank Guaranty Issuer (in the case
of the issuance of a Bank Guaranty), as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written
confirmation act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by such Agent,
such Issuing Lender or such Bank Guaranty Issuer in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer.
In each such case, the U.S. Borrower and each of the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute
such Agent’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such Bank Guaranty Issuer’s record of the terms of such
telephonic notice.
13.04 Benefit of Agreement.
(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, no
neither Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any
other Credit Document without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders and
provided, further, that, although any Lender may (without the consent of any Credit
Party) 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 Section 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
-140-
shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document except (I) to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final
scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note, Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty (unless such Letter of
Credit or Bank Guaranty is not extended beyond the CL 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, 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 or of a mandatory repayment of Loans
shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any
Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s
participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the
financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or
fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification
actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any either
Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or
substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly
provided in the Security Documents) supporting the Obligations in which such participant is
participating and (II) that, solely in the case of a participant (each, a “Voting
Participant”) which (x) has purchased a participation interest in such Lender’s Commitments
and/or outstanding Term Loans in a minimum aggregate amount (without duplication) of at least
$2,000,000 on or after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and (y) is (A) designated by such Lender
to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent by written notice (a “Voting Participant
Notice”) as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a “voting” participant hereunder, (B)
approved by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such approvals not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) and (C) not a Disqualified Voting Participant, such participant shall be
entitled to vote with respect to each Tranche in which it holds a participation from such Lender
(and the voting rights of such Lender for each such Tranche shall be correspondingly reduced), on a
Dollar basis, as if such participant were a Lender under such Tranche on any matter requiring or
allowing such Lender to provide or withhold its consent or to otherwise vote on any proposed action
(with any Voting Participant Notice, with respect to any Voting Participant, to be effective only
if same (a) states the full legal name of such Voting Participant, as well as the relevant contact
information and administrative details for such Voting Participant, and (b) states the Dollar
amount of the participation interest in each Tranche purchased). 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 Lender
had not sold such participation; provided that a Voting Participant shall have the voting
rights to which it is entitled as described in the preceding sentence.
(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 outstanding Term Loans and/or Credit-Linked
Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations (and Credit-Linked Deposit, if applicable)
hereunder) to (i) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50%
owned by such Lender or its parent company, (ii) one or more Lenders or (iii) in the case of any
Lender that is a fund that invests
in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment
advisor of a Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less
than all, a portion equal to at least (A) $1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or
assigning Lenders, of such outstanding principal amount of Term Loans hereunder and (B) $1,000,000
in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Credit-Linked Commitments
and related Credit-Linked Deposit and Obligations, in each case, to one or more Eligible
Transferees (treating (I) any fund that invests in bank loans and (II) any other fund that invests
in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as
-141-
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 (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the
outstanding Term Loans and/or Credit-Linked Commitments, as the case may be, of such new Lender and
of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the request of the respective Lender and upon the surrender of
the old Notes (if any), new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and
to the assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05
(with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised outstanding Term
Loans, as the case may be, (iii) except in the case of assignments by the Agents in connection with
their syndication of this Agreement, the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no
Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower shall be required in
connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) 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 and, provided, further, that such transfer
or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register
pursuant to Section 13.17. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the
assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned
Commitments (and, in the case of an assignment of Credit-Linked Commitments, will lose its rights
with respect to the assigned CL Percentage in its Credit-Linked Deposit) and/or outstanding Term
Loans, as the case may be. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a
Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective
assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the U.S. Borrower and
the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a
Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b)(ii) to the extent such forms would
provide a complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax. To the extent
that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding
Obligations pursuant to Section 1.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such
assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06 or 4.04 from those
being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall
not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and
pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased
costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
assignment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, at any time after the
termination of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment, if any Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties
remain outstanding, assignments may be made as provided above, except that the respective
assignment shall be of a portion of the respective CL Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit
and Bank Guaranties (and the related share of its Credit-Linked Deposit), although any such
assignment effected after the termination of
the Total Credit-Linked Commitment shall not release
the assigning CL Lender from its obligations as a participant with respect to outstanding Letters
of Credit or Bank Guaranties (although the respective assignee may agree, as between itself and the
respective assigning CL Lender, that it shall be responsible for such amounts). The Credit-Linked
Deposit funded by any CL Lender shall not be released in connection with any assignment of its
Credit-Linked Commitment, but shall instead be purchased (to the extent of the CL Percentage so
assigned) by the relevant assignee and
continue to be held for application (if not already applied) pursuant to Section 2 in respect
of such assignee’s obligations under the Credit-Linked Commitment assigned to it.
(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, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or either Borrower, any
Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee or to a
collateral agent or to another creditor providing credit or credit support to such Lender in
support of its
-142-
obligations to such trustee, such Collateral Agent or a holder of, or any other
representative of a holder of, such obligations, or such other creditor, as the case may be. No
pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledge or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.
13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent,
the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under
any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and any Agent, the
Collateral Agent 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 and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights or remedies which any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.
No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights
of any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.
13.06 Payments Pro Rata.
(a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on
behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender
that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such payment) pro rata based upon
their respective shares, if any, of the 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 or 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 Obligation then owed and due to such
Lender bears to the total of such 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 Obligations of the
respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of
such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, 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) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except
as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the U.S. Borrower to the
Lenders), provided that (i) if at any time any change in U.S. GAAP is reasonably likely to
cause any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document to be violated or to impose
additional obligations on the Borrowers, or to prevent any such violation or any such imposition
absent such change, and
-143-
either the U.S. Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the
Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or
requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in U.S. GAAP (subject
to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (x) such
ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP prior to such
change therein (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if such notice is provided following the last day
of a Test Period but prior to the date the officer’s certificate required pursuant to Section
8.01(d) has been delivered for such Test Period, such notice shall be deemed to have been received
on the last day of such Test Period) and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall provide to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as
reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or
requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in U.S. GAAP, (ii) to the extent
expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made
on a Pro Forma Basis and (iii) for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or
expenditure tests set forth in Sections 8 and/or 9, any amounts so incurred or expended (to the
extent incurred or expended in a currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on
the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such
exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as
in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section
that has an aggregate Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective
incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is
expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies
other than Dollars shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on
Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence
or expenditures made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount
outstanding at any time).
(b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.
13.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN OF THE SUBSIDIARIES
GUARANTIES AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other
Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States for
the Southern District of New York, in each case located within the City of New York and, by
execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and
in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers Corporation Service
Company, with offices on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000,
as its designee,
appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect
of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be
served in any such action or proceeding. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent
shall cease to be available to act as such, each Borrower agrees to designate a new designee,
appointee and agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes of this provision reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby further
irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such Borrower, and agrees
not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any
other Credit Document brought in any of the aforesaid
-144-
courts, that any such court lacks
jurisdiction over such Borrower. Each Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of
process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower, as the case may be, at its address for notices
pursuant to Section 13.03, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing. Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably
waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under
any other Credit Document that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the holder of any
Note to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against any Borrower in any other jurisdiction.
(b) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN
CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH
COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.
13.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. A complete set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with
each Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
13.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective (subject to the
immediately succeeding sentence) on the date (the “Amendment No. 3 Effective Date”) on

13.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc.
(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Lenders,

Note or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit or Bank Guaranty beyond the CL Maturity
Date or extend the duration of any Interest Period beyond six months, or reduce the rate or extend

shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i),
notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction),
(ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit
Documents) under all the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this
Section 13.12 (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit

Date), (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being
understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant

Restatement Effective Date), (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of

of Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties, without the written consent of the Majority Lenders
holding Credit-Linked Commitments, (q) increase the Commitments 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 any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute
an increase in the Commitment of such Lender), (r) without the consent of each Issuing Lender
affected and Bank Guaranty Issuer affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section
2 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit or Bank Guaranties, (s)
without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12
as the same applies to the Administrative Agent or any other provision as same relates to the
rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (t) without the consent of each Agent affected
thereby, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 as same applies to such Agent or any
other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent, (u) without the consent
of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations
of the Collateral Agent, (v) except in cases where additional extensions of term loans are being
afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement as
in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, without the consent of the Majority Lenders of each
Tranche which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result
of the actions described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or
commitment reduction), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 (excluding
Section 4.02(a)) (although the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such
prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various
Tranches, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be
made is not altered), (w) without the consent of the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche
affected thereby, amend the definition of Majority 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 Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the
extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Restatement Effective Date), (x) except in
cases where additional extensions of credit are being afforded substantially the same treatment
afforded to
the Term Loans and Credit-Linked Commitments pursuant to Section 1.14 (as in effect on
the Restatement Effective Date) and except for technical amendments which are consistent with the
intent of the provisions of such Section and do not adversely affect the protections afforded to
the Lenders pursuant to said Section, without the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche
adversely affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any provisions of Section 1.14, (y) without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders of the respective
affected Tranche, reduce the amount of or extend the date of, any Scheduled Repayment under such
Tranche (except that, if additional Loans are made pursuant to a given Tranche, the Scheduled
Repayments of such Tranche may be increased on a proportionate basis without the consent otherwise
required by this clause (y)), or 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 extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Restatement Effective
Date) or (z) without the consent of the Deposit
-146-
Bank, amend, modify or waive any provision relating
to the rights or obligations of the Deposit Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above in this Section 13.12(a), the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent
shall be permitted (x) to enter into such amendments and/or modifications to the Foreign
Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Foreign Security Documents which may be required in the discretion of
the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent which are of a technical nature and/or are, in
the judgment of the Collateral Agent, required by applicable law, in the interests of the Secured
Creditors or (in the case of Foreign Security Documents) necessary or desirable to preserve,
maintain, perfect and/or protect the security interests purported to the granted by the respective
Foreign Security Documents and (y) to enter into such releases of Collateral pledged pursuant to
Foreign Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower for legitimate
operational reasons (e.g., the transfer of Property from one jurisdiction to another), so
long as the Fair Market Value of all Collateral so subject to release (as determined in good faith
by the U.S. Borrower) at any time does not exceed $5,000,000.
(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 U.S.
Borrower 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 each
such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the U.S. Borrower if the respective
Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches (or related Commitments), to
replace only the respective Tranche or Tranches of Commitments (and related Obligations and, if
applicable, Credit-Linked Deposits) and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave
rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders
pursuant to Section 1.13 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 each
Credit-Linked Commitment and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such non-consenting Lender (if
such Lender’s consent is required as a result of such Credit-Linked Commitment and/or Incremental
Term Loan Commitment), and/or repay outstanding Obligations under each Tranche of such Lender which
gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent, in accordance with Sections 3.01 and/or
4.01, provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans and other
Obligations 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 and 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 both (x)
after giving effect to the proposed action and (y) as if the Commitments, Loans and related
Obligations being terminated and/or repaid (and not replaced) were not outstanding) shall
specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that the U.S. Borrower shall not
have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans or other
Obligations 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 respective Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Loan Lender may, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.15, enter into an Incremental Term Loan Commitment
Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery by the respective Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and each such Incremental Loan Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment
Agreement, such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in
accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 13.12.
-147-
(d) For purposes of Section 13.12(a), (i) a Voting Participant shall be deemed to be a
“Lender” holding the portion of the Credit-Linked Commitment (and related Obligations), Incremental
Term Loan Commitment and/or outstanding Term Loans of a given Tranche of any Lender (other than a
Defaulting Lender) in which it purchased a participation (and to have the voting rights of such
Lender for the respective such Tranche) and (ii) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) which
has sold a participation in a portion of its Credit-Linked Commitment (and related Obligations),
Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche to a Voting
Participant shall be deemed to hold a Credit-Linked Commitment (and related Obligations), an
Incremental Term Loan Commitment or outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche, as the case
may be, in each case, as reduced by the amount of the participations therein sold to a Voting
Participant.
13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in
Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06, 4.04, 12.07, 13.01 and 13.17, shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit and
Bank Guaranties and the repayment in full of the Loans and the other Obligations. With respect to
the Original Lenders and Original Agents, all indemnities set forth in the Original Credit
Agreement, including without limitation, in Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06, 4.04, 12.07, 13.01
and 13.17 thereof shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement
pursuant to this Agreement and the repayment of any outstanding Obligations (as defined in the
Original Credit Agreement) thereunder, as fully as if same were set forth herein in their entirety.
13.14 Domicile of Loans and Commitments. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans
and/or Commitments at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such
Lender. 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 1.10, 1.11, 2A.06, 2B.06 or 4.04 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).
13.15 Confidentiality.
(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without
the prior consent of either Borrower (other than to its directors, employees, auditors, counsel or
other professional advisors, to affiliates or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s
holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access
to such information) any information with respect to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement; provided that any
Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b)
as may be required or appropriate (x) in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any
municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such
Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar
organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors
or (y) in connection with any request or requirement of any such regulatory body, (c) as may
be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any
litigation, (d) to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e)
to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder and
(f) to any creditor or any prospective transferee or participant in connection with any
contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Obligations or any interest therein by such
Lender; provided that such creditor or prospective transferee or participant agrees to be
bound by this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender. Each Borrower
-148-
hereby acknowledges
and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates or its investment advisors any
information related to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation,
any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of such entities),
provided that such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the
same extent as such Lender and shall only use such information in connection with matters relating
to this Agreement.
(b) Each Borrower hereby represents and acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge,
neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any employees or agents of, or other persons affiliated with,
any Agent or any Lender, have directly or indirectly made or provided any statement (oral or
written) to such Borrower or to any of its employees or agents, or other persons affiliated with or
related to such Borrower (or, so far as such Borrower is aware, to any other person), as to the
potential tax consequences of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Neither the Agents nor the Lenders provide accounting, tax or legal advice.
Notwithstanding any express or implied claims of exclusivity or proprietary rights, each Borrower,
each Agent and each Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that each Borrower, each Agent and each
Lender (and each of their employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to
any and all persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their discussions and without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided
to either Borrower any Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. In
this regard, each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender acknowledge and agree that the disclosure of
the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby is not limited in any
way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such
understanding or agreement is legally binding). For purposes of this authorization, “tax” means
United States Federal income tax, “tax treatment” means the purported or claimed Federal income tax
treatment of the transaction, and “tax structure” means any fact that may be relevant to
understanding the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the transaction. This
paragraph is intended to reflect the understanding of each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender
that the transactions contemplated hereby are not “confidential transactions” as that phrase is
used in Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent
therewith. Nothing herein is intended to imply that any of each Borrower, each Agent and each
Lender made or provided a statement, oral or written, to, or for the benefit of, any of each other
as to any potential tax consequences that are related to, or may result from, the transactions
contemplated hereby.
13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY.
13.17 Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Section
13.17,
to maintain a register at one of its offices in New York, New York (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 Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made
pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register
maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and/or Loans
prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor
-149-
with respect to such Commitments
and/or Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer
of all or part of any Commitments and/or 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). 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 Commitment and/or Loan, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing
such Commitment and/or 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. The
registration of any provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 1.15 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 Term Loan Commitment
Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement for
acceptance and registration of the provision of an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, to the extent requested by such Incremental Term Loan Lenders,
Incremental Term Notes shall be issued, at the respective Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental
Term Loan Lenders, to be in conformity with Section 1.05 (with appropriate modification) to the
extent needed to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and outstanding Incremental Term
Loans made by such Incremental Term Loan Lender. The Borrowers agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of
whatsoever nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent
in performing its duties under this Section 13.17.
13.18 English Language. This Agreement and all other Credit Documents shall be in the
English language, except as required by applicable local law and, with respect to each of the
Security Documents governed by the laws of Italy or otherwise related to Collateral located in
Italy, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require (in which event certified English
translations thereof shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, be provided by the U.S.
Borrower to the Administrative Agent). All documents, certificates, reports or notices to be
delivered or communications to be given or made by any party hereto pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be in the English language or, if originally written
in another language, shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, be accompanied by an accurate
English translation upon which the other parties hereto shall have the right to rely for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
13.19 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes
Owed by, Persons Not Organized in Qualified Jurisdictions; Special Provisions Regarding Foreign
Security Documents and Secured Hedge Counterparties.
(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security
Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things, all
promissory notes executed by, and Equity Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective
Credit Party (to the extent not constituting Excluded Collateral) be pledged, and delivered for
pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that
each Credit Party shall be
required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is
organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the various Security
Documents and to take all actions under the laws of each Qualified Jurisdiction to perfect the
security interests in the Equity Interests of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person organized
under the laws of said jurisdictions (in each case, to the extent such Equity Interests or
promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party and do not constitute Excluded Collateral). Except
as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires or
provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or Equity Interests in, any Person organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately
-150-
preceding sentence,
it is acknowledged that, as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, no actions have been required to
be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective
promissory notes or whose Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The
Borrowers hereby agree that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders
to do so, each Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including,
without limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and
the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to
which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or
Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the
security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such
jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.19(a), all such actions shall be
taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.19(a) and Section 8.11 and within the
time periods set forth therein. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing
and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law (but
only with respect to Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, Persons organized under
laws of jurisdictions other than Qualified Jurisdictions) not required to be taken in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 13.19(a), provided that to the extent any
representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the
respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material
respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19(a) or pursuant to Section 8.11.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that certain Foreign Security Documents executed
and delivered by the Credit Parties on or prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date secure, inter
alia, obligations of any Lender (or any affiliate of a Lender) which is a counterparty to certain
Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements (as further provided in each such
Foreign Security Document) and that it is the parties intent that each such Foreign Security
Document shall be amended, as provided in Article III of the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty
Acknowledgement and/or Amendment, such that (after giving effect to such amendment) the foregoing
secured counterparties shall be amended to include the Secured Hedge Counterparties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that, as of the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, no other amendments, modifications or supplements to the foregoing
Foreign Security Documents under the laws of any jurisdiction to effect the intent in the foregoing
sentence have occurred. The Borrowers hereby agree that, within 90 days after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), each Borrower
shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation,
amending, modifying or supplementing each such Foreign Security Document and the delivery of
appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such
actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or Required
Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to effect the foregoing amendments to each such
Foreign Security Document. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and
so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law not required
to be taken in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.19(b), provided that to the extent
any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the
respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material
respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19(b) or pursuant to Section 8.11.
13.20 Powers of Attorney; etc. The U.S. Borrower is hereby authorized by, and on
behalf of, the Bermuda Borrower to give Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion and other
notices
-151-
and directions in connection with the extensions of credit and repayments thereof to be
made pursuant to this Agreement to the Bermuda Borrower (including without limitation notices as to
the application of proceeds of such extensions of credit). The Bermuda Borrower hereby grants to
the U.S. Borrower and the U.S. Borrower an irrevocable power-of attorney, in the Bermuda Borrower’s
name, to take the actions contemplated above in this Section 13.20 and in the last sentence of
Section 1.13 hereof. Furthermore, the Bermuda Borrower agrees that the Agents and the Lenders may
at any time rely upon any notices, instructions or other information furnished by the U.S.
Borrower.
13.21 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of the Borrowers, in respect of itself, its
Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that,
to the extent that such Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties has or may hereafter
acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any
legal proceedings, whether in the United States, any other Qualified Jurisdiction or elsewhere, to
enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Credit Document or any other liability or obligation of
such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated
by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process,
immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a
judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or
from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its
Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any
such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in
the United States, any other Qualified Jurisdiction, or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Borrower further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 13.21
shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the
United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.
13.22 Judgment Currency.
(a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make
payments in Dollars (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency,
the Dollar Equivalent thereof) (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 any Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the
Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any
Credit Party 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 Dollar Equivalent thereof, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange
(as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of
exchange on such currency, by a known 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, the 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 or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date.
-152-
(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this
Section 13.22, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the
purchase of the Obligation Currency.
13.23 Special Acknowledgments. By their execution and delivery hereof, the Lenders
party hereto hereby acknowledge (i) that the guarantee of each Bermuda Partnership Partner made
pursuant to the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty is limited to the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under

Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements with Secured Hedge Counterparties,
all on the terms as more specifically provided therein, (ii) the Bermuda Partnership has not
entered into any Credit Documents and, as such, is not a Credit Party (but is otherwise subject to
the provisions of Sections 9.01(b) and (c)) and (iii) the obligations secured pursuant to the
Security Documents are not secured by any Excluded Collateral.
13.24 Special Provisions Relating to Amendment and Restatement.

consent to the “refinancing indebtedness” under this Agreement being treated as “indebtedness
pursuant to the Credit Agreement” for purposes of the U.S. Pledge Agreement and the Intercompany

indebtedness under this Agreement shall be treated as “issued under the Credit Agreement” for
purposes of the U.S. Pledge Agreement and the Intercompany Subordination Agreement.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:
(i) Holdings and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement)
executed and delivered the Security Documents (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement)
in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the
Original Credit Agreement) to secure the payment and performance of, inter
alia, the Obligations (as defined in the respective such Security Documents);
(ii) the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured
Creditors pursuant to the Security Documents (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement)
shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect, without interruption or impairment of
any kind, but subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with
the terms of such Security Documents and shall continue to secure the Obligations (as
defined in such Security Documents);
(iii) the Obligations represent, among other things, the amendment, restatement,
renewal, extension, consolidation and modification of the Obligations (as defined in the
Original Credit Agreement) arising in connection with the Original Credit Agreement and
other Credit Documents (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) executed in connection
therewith; and
(iv) (a) the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement, to the extent restated,
renewed, extended, consolidated, amended and modified hereby, are hereby superseded and
replaced by the provisions hereof; (b) the Notes restate, renew, extend, consolidate, amend,
modify, replace, are substituted for and supersede, but do not extinguish, the Obligations
(as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) evidenced by the Notes (as defined in the
Original Credit Agreement) issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement; and (c) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by the Borrowers of their
respective obligations hereunder, shall not constitute a novation.
-153-
13.25 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act (Title 111 of Pub.
L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.
13.26 Other Liens on Collateral; Terms of Intercreditor Agreement; etc.
(a) EACH LENDER HERETO UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE
COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE ABL CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE ABL CREDIT DOCUMENTS (AS DEFINED THEREIN),

THE LIENS CREATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED CREDIT DOCUMENTS (WITH THE LIENS SO CREATED
HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS ON ABL PRIORITY COLLATERAL BEING SUBORDINATED TO
SUCH LIENS PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT) AND (Y) TO THE EXTENT CREATED WITH
RESPECT TO TL PRIORITY COLLATERAL, SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE SUBJECT TO THE SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS
(TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ALSO HAS
OTHER PROVISIONS WHICH ARE BINDING UPON THE LENDERS AND THE SECURED HEDGE COUNTERPARTIES PURSUANT
TO THIS AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF SECTION 13.26 OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT,
IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT
DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.
(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO
ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDER, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND
EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.
(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.26 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS
OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NO AGENT (AND NONE OF ITS AFFILIATES) MAKES ANY
REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN
THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER IS FURTHER AWARE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT IS ALSO ACTING IN AN
ADMINISTRATIVE AND COLLATERAL AGENCY CAPACITY UNDER, AND AS DEFINED IN, THE ABL CREDIT AGREEMENT
AND THE ABL CREDIT DOCUMENTS (AS DEFINED THEREIN), AND LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION THERETO OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING THEREFROM.
-154-
13.27 Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:
1. Real Property. The actions relating to the Mortgages and Real Property of
U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries described on Part A of Schedule XVIII shall be completed
in accordance with Part A of said Schedule XVIII.
2. Actions by Various Foreign Subsidiaries Relating to Security Documents. The
U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions specified in Part B
of Schedule XVIII as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time periods set
forth in Part B of said Schedule XVIII. The provisions of Part B of said Schedule XVIII
shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set forth herein in its
entirety.
3. Miscellaneous Actions by Various Subsidiaries of U.S. Borrower. The U.S.
Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions specified in Part C of
Schedule XVIII as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time periods set
forth in Part C of said Schedule XVIII. The provisions of Part C of said Schedule XVIII
shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set forth herein in its
entirety.
All provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without
limitation, all conditions precedent, representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and
other agreements herein and therein) 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 otherwise 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 Amendment No. 3 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 13.27 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 13.27 have been taken (or
were required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a
covenant and agreement by each Borrower to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant
to this Section 13.27 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in
this Section 13.27 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties contained in this
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and correct without any
modification pursuant to this Section 13.27. 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. Borrower Guaranty.
14.01 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and
to extend credit hereunder and to induce the Secured Hedge Counterparties to enter into Interest
Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits
to be received by each Borrower from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of
Credit and Bank Guaranties, the entering into of Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other
Hedging Agreements, each Borrower hereby agrees with the Lenders and the Secured Hedge Counterparties as follows: each
Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as
surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of
any and all of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. For the avoidance
of doubt, the “Relevant Guaranteed Obligations” of the U.S. Borrower include, without limitation,
all Obligations of the Bermuda Borrower under this Agreement and such Obligations. If any or all
of the Relevant Guaranteed Obliga-
-155-
tions of either Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due
and payable hereunder, each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the
Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred
by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. This
Borrower Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This Borrower 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. If claim is ever made upon any
Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on
account of any of the Relevant Guaranteed 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 any Relevant
Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the respective Borrower agrees that any such judgment,
decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Credit Agreement Party,
notwithstanding any revocation of this Borrower Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any
liability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, and each Borrower 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.
14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees the payment of any and all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed
Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Relevant Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any
of the events specified in Section 10.05, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to
the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.
14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Borrower hereunder is exclusive and
independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations whether
executed by such Borrower, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each
Borrower hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by
any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty,
undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Relevant Guaranteed
Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or
(d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Relevant
Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Relevant Guaranteed
Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Relevant Guaranteed Party pursuant to
court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief
proceeding, and each Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations
hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in
Section 14.05, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other
instrument relating thereto.
14.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all
or any part of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair
or be a defense to this Borrower Guaranty, and this Borrower 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, or a defense available to,
a surety or guarantor except
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations
of each Borrower hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any
other guarantor or any other party and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against either Borrower whether or not action is brought against any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any
other guarantor or any other party and whether or not any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other
guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the
full extent permitted by law, the
-156-
benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability
hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Relevant Guaranteed Party or other
circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Relevant Guaranteed Party
shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the relevant Borrower.
14.05 Authorization. Each Borrower authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors 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:
(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time
of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Relevant Guaranteed
Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any
security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and
this Borrower Guaranty shall apply to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations as so changed,
extended, renewed, increased or altered;
(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and
sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any
manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to
secure, or howsoever securing, the Relevant Guaranteed 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 Relevant Guaranteed
Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Relevant
Guaranteed Party or other obligors;
(e) settle or compromise any of the Relevant Guaranteed 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
the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to their
respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;
(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or
liabilities of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what
liability or liabilities of such Relevant Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;
(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this
Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other
Hedging Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or
otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any
Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of such other
instruments or agreements; and/or
(h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common
law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense available to, such
Borrower from its liabilities under this Borrower Guaranty.
-157-
14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the
capacity or powers of any Relevant Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents
acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or
created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
14.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of any Relevant Guaranteed Party now or
hereafter owing to any Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of
such Relevant Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent
so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Relevant
Guaranteed Party to such Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower in
trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such
Relevant Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any
manner the liability of either Borrower under the other provisions of this Borrower Guaranty.
Prior to the transfer by either Borrower of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the
indebtedness of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to such Borrower, such Borrower 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 Borrower hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors
that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a
result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise) until all Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
14.08 Waiver.
(a) Each Borrower waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and
cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any other Relevant
Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any
security held from any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii)
pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other
guarantor or any other party, other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party,
any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Relevant Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of
any Relevant Guaranteed Party other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security
held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor 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 Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party,
or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder
except to the extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in
cash. Each Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed
Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or
subrogation or other right or remedy of such Borrower against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any
other party or any security.
Each Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices,
including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor,
notices of acceptance of this Borrower Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or
incurring of new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. Each Borrower assumes all
responsibility for being and keep-
-158-
ing itself informed of each Relevant Guaranteed Party’s financial
condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Borrower
assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise
any Borrower of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
(b) Until such time as the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash,
each Borrower hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a
result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or
otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any
other guarantor of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law
rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other
guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty.
(c) Each U.S. Credit Party hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the
extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, such
U.S. Credit Party shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding
the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such U.S.
Credit Party’s or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed against any Relevant Guaranteed Party
or any other guarantor of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of
the California Code of Civil Procedure, each U.S. Credit Party hereby waives:
(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any
other rights and defenses that are or may become available to such U.S. Credit Party by
reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure;
(ii) all rights and defenses that such U.S. Credit Party may have because the Relevant
Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among
other things, that: (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from such U.S. Credit Party
without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Credit
Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged
by any Credit Party, (1) the amount of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced
only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the
collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect
from such U.S. Credit Party even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real
Property collateral, have destroyed any right such U.S. Credit Party may have to collect
from any Relevant Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and
irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such U.S. Credit Party may have because the
Relevant Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation,
any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure); and
(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed
Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with
respect to security for the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed such U.S. Credit
Party’s rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against any Relevant Guaranteed Party by the operation of
Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(d) Each Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with
full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are deter-
-159-
mined
to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the
maximum extent permitted by law.
14.09 Payments. All payments made by either Borrower pursuant to this Section 14
shall be made in the respective Applicable Currency in which the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations
are then due and payable (giving effect, in the circumstances contemplated by Section 1.14, to any
conversion occurring pursuant thereto). All payments made by either Borrower pursuant to this
Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the
provisions of Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 13.22.

(d) Amendments to ABL Security Documents or Notes Security Documents.
(i) Without the prior written consent of the Term Collateral Agent, no ABL Security Document
or Notes Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to
the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new ABL Document or new
Notes Document, would contravene the provisions of this Agreement. Grantors agree that each ABL

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests
granted to [the ABL Collateral Agent] [the Notes Collateral Agent] pursuant to this
Agreement in any TL Priority Collateral and the exercise of any right or remedy by
[the ABL Collateral Agent] [the Notes Collateral Agent] with respect to
-34-
any TL Priority Collateral hereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of [April 12, 2006] [March 18, 2009] (as amended,

shall govern and control.”
In addition, Grantors agree that (x) each mortgage in favor of the ABL Secured Parties or the Notes
Secured Parties covering any TL Priority Collateral shall contain such other language as the Term
Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such mortgage to the
mortgage in favor of the Term Secured Parties covering such TL Priority Collateral and (y) each
mortgage in favor of the Notes Secured Parties covering any TL Priority Collateral shall contain
such other language as the ABL Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination
of such mortgage to the mortgage in favor of the ABL Secured Parties covering such TL Priority

Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Term Security
Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any
departures from any provisions of, any Term Security Document or changing in any manner the rights
of the Term Collateral Agent, such Term Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor
thereunder, in each case with respect to or relating to the TL Priority Collateral, then such

Comparable ABL Security Document without the consent of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured
Parties and without any action by the ABL Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Grantor and
(y) the Comparable Notes Security Document without the consent of the Notes Collateral Agent or the
Notes Secured Parties and without any action by the Notes Collateral Agent, the Company or any
other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the
effect of (i) removing assets that constitute TL Priority Collateral subject to the Lien of the ABL
Security Documents or the Notes Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such
Lien is permitted or required by Section 2.4(a) and provided that there is a corresponding
release of such Lien securing the Term Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the ABL Collateral
Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent without its consent or (iii) permitting other liens on the TL
Priority Collateral not permitted under the terms of the ABL Documents, the Notes Documents or
Section 2.5 and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the ABL
Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective
date of such amendment, waiver or consent.
(iii) Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, in the event any ABL Collateral Agent or
the ABL Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment,
-35-
waiver or consent in respect of any of the ABL Security Documents for the purpose of adding
to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any ABL
Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent, such ABL
Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect to or
relating to the TL Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply
automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Notes Security Document without the
consent of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Secured Parties and without any action by the
Notes Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such
amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets that constitute TL
Priority Collateral subject to the Lien of the Notes Security Documents, except to the extent that
a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 2.4(b) and provided that there
is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the ABL Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the
Notes Collateral Agent without its consent or (iii) permitting other liens on the TL Priority
Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Notes Documents or Section 2.5 and (B) notice of

and the Notes Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the
Company or any other Grantor that has guaranteed the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations in
accordance with the terms of the ABL Documents, the Notes Documents and applicable law. Except as
otherwise set forth in Section 2.1, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL
Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties
of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the ABL Obligations
and Notes Obligations, as applicable, so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result
of the exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or
any Notes Secured Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including setoff) in respect
of the TL Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or enforcement in contravention of
this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.
(f) Bailee for Perfection.
(i) The Term Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the TL Priority Collateral that is
in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the

Priority Collateral being the “Pledged TL Priority Collateral”) as collateral agent for the
Term Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any collateral that cannot be perfected
in such manner, as agent for, the ABL Collateral Agent (on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties) and
the Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof and
act as such agent under all control agreements relating to the Pledged TL Priority Collateral, in
each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Term
Documents, the ABL Documents and the Notes Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 2.4(f). Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, the ABL Collateral
Agent agrees to hold the Pledged TL Priority Collateral as collateral agent for the ABL Secured

Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security
interest granted under the ABL Documents and the Notes Documents, as applicable, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 2.4(f). As security for the payment and performance in full
of all the Notes Obligations and ABL Obligations each Grantor hereby grants to the Term Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties and the ABL Secured Parties a lien on and
security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor, in and to and under the
Pledged TL Priority Collateral wherever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or
acquired from time to time. As security for the payment and performance in full of all the Notes
Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants to the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes
Secured Parties a lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such
Grantor, in and to and under the Pledged TL Priority Collateral wherever located and whether now
existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time.
(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (x) until the Discharge of Term Obligations has
occurred, the Term Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged TL Priority
Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Term Documents as if the Liens of the ABL Collateral
Agent under the ABL Security Documents and the Liens of the Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes
Security Documents did not exist and (y) following the Discharge of Term Obligations and until the
Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with
the Pledged TL Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Documents as if the
Liens of the Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes Security Documents did not exist. The rights
of the ABL Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the
terms of this Agreement and to the Term Collateral Agent’s rights under the Term Documents.
(iii) The Term Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Term Secured Party,
the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Party to ensure that the Pledged TL Priority Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors
or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section

shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged TL Priority Collateral as bailee or agent in
accordance with this Section 2.4(f). The ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever
to any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party to ensure that the
Pledged TL Priority Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or
benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.4(f). The duties or
responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 2.4(f) shall be limited solely to
holding the Pledged TL Priority Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section
2.4(f).
(iv) The Term Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall not have by reason
of the Term Security Documents, the ABL Security Documents, the Notes Security Documents, this
Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Term Secured Party, the
ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party.
The ABL Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall not have by reason of the
ABL Security Documents, the Notes Security Documents,
-37-
this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any ABL Secured
Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party.
(v) Upon the Discharge of Term Obligations under the Term Documents to which the Term
Collateral Agent is a party, the Term Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the
remaining Pledged TL Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its
agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the ABL Collateral Agent to
the extent ABL Obligations remain outstanding, second, to the Notes Collateral Agent to the extent
Notes Obligations remain outstanding and third, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Term
Obligations, ABL Obligations or Notes Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow
such Person to obtain control of such Pledged TL Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the
ABL Collateral Agent or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, in assigning (without recourse to or
warranty by the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control
over any other Pledged TL Priority Collateral under its control. The Term Collateral Agent further
agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such Person
obtaining a first priority interest in the Pledged TL Priority Collateral or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Following the Discharge of Term Obligations and upon
the Discharge of ABL Obligations under the ABL Documents to which the ABL Collateral Agent is a
party, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged TL
Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or bailees,
together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Notes Collateral Agent to the extent Notes
Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no ABL

obtain control of such Pledged TL Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the Notes Collateral
Agent in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured
Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any other Pledged TL Priority Collateral under its
control. The ABL Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by
such Person in connection with such Person obtaining a first priority interest in the Pledged TL
Priority Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any ABL Obligations
remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Obligations, all rights of the Term Collateral Agent
hereunder and under the Term Security Documents, the ABL Security Documents or the Notes Security
Documents (1) with respect to the delivery and control of any part of the TL Priority Collateral,
and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence the maintenance or disposition of
such TL Priority Collateral, shall immediately, and (to the extent permitted by law) without
further action on the part of either of the Notes Collateral Agent, the ABL Collateral Agent or the
Term Collateral Agent, pass to the ABL Collateral Agent, who shall thereafter hold such rights for
the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any collateral that
cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Notes Secured Parties. Each of the Term
Collateral Agent and the Grantors agrees that it will, if any ABL Obligations or Notes Obligations
remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Obligations, take any other action required by any
law or reasonably requested by the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, in
connection with the ABL Collateral Agent’s establishment and perfection of a First Priority
security interest in the TL Priority Collateral and the Notes Collateral
-38-
Agent’s establishment and perfection of a Second Priority security interest in the TL Priority
Collateral.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason, prior to
the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent
acquires possession of any Pledged ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes
Collateral Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the same extent as is provided in the
preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged TL Priority Collateral, provided that as soon
as is practicable the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to
be delivered such Pledged ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Collateral Agent in a manner otherwise
consistent with the requirements of the preceding clause (v).
(g) When Discharge of Term Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if at any time after the Discharge of Term Obligations has
occurred (or concurrently therewith) the Company or any other Grantor immediately thereafter (or
concurrently therewith) enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any Term Obligations, then such
Discharge of Term Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes
of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such
designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Term Obligations), and the
obligations under the Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Term Obligations
(together with Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements on the basis
provided in the definition of “Term Documents” contained herein) for all purposes of this
Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set
forth herein, the term “Term Credit Agreement” shall be deemed appropriately modified to refer to
such Permitted Refinancing and the Term Collateral Agent under such Term Documents shall be a Term
Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof and the new secured parties under such Term Documents
(together with Secured Hedge Counterparties as provided herein) shall automatically be treated as
Term Secured Parties for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that the
Company or any other Grantor has entered into a new Term Document in respect of a Permitted
Refinancing of Term Obligations (which notice shall include the identity of the new collateral
agent, such agent, the “New Term Agent”), and delivery by the New Term Agent of an
Intercreditor Agreement Joinder, the ABL Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent shall
promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this
Agreement) as the Company or such New Term Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to
the New Term Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects
with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New Term Agent any Pledged TL Priority
Collateral held by the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent together with any
necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Term Agent to obtain control of such Pledged TL
Priority Collateral). The New Term Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
If the new Term Obligations under the new Term Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of
the type constituting TL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Obligations and the
Notes Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Second Priority Lien
on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Security Documents with respect to the other
TL Priority Collateral and the Notes Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Third Priority
Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Notes Security Documents with respect to the
other TL Priority Collateral. If the new Term Obligations under the new Term Documents are secured
by assets of
-39-
the Grantors of the type constituting ABL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL
Obligations and the Notes Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a
First Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Security Documents with
respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral and the Notes Obligations shall be secured at such
time by a Third Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Notes Security
Documents with respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral.
(h) Option to Purchase Term Obligations.
(i) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the Term Collateral Agent and the Term
Secured Parties, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility standards
contained in all relevant Term Documents) at any time or from time to time designated by the
holders of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the ABL Obligations under the
ABL Credit Agreement as being entitled to exercise all default purchase options as to the Term
Obligations then outstanding (an “Eligible ABL Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase
by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the Term Secured
Parties), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (iii) below of this Section
2.4(h), all, but not less than all, of the Term Obligations (other than the Term Obligations of a
Defaulting Term Secured Party (as defined below)), including all principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of
all Term Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase; provided that at the time of (and
as a condition to) any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.4(h), all commitments pursuant to any
then outstanding Term Credit Agreement shall have terminated and all Hedge Agreements constituting
Term Documents also shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms. Any purchase
pursuant to this Section 2.4(h)(i) shall be made as follows:
(1) for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A)(I) in the case of all loans,
advances or other similar extensions of credit that constitute Term Obligations (including
unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit and bank guaranties, but
excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit and bank guaranties),
100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the
date of purchase (without regard, however, to any acceleration prepayment penalties or
premiums other than customary breakage costs) and (II) in the case of all credit-linked
deposits (or equivalents) related to the foregoing Obligations set forth in the preceding
clause (I) (which credit-linked deposits, for the avoidance of doubt, will continue to be
held by the applicable deposit bank for application pursuant to the terms of the Term Credit
Agreement and it being understood and agreed that upon any drawing under any letter of
credit or any bank guaranty, such deposit bank and the Term Administrative Agent shall apply
the credit-linked deposits deposited with the deposit bank to repay the respective unpaid
drawing or unreimbursed payment, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the
Term Credit Agreement), 100% of the aggregate amount of such credit-linked deposits and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase, (B) in the case of any
Hedge Agreement, the aggregate amount then owing to each Secured Hedge Counterparty (which
is a Term Secured Party) thereunder pursuant to the terms of the respective Hedge Agreement,
including without limitation all amounts owing to such Secured Hedge Counterparty (which is
a Term Secured Party) as a result of the
-40-
termination (or early termination) thereof (in each case, to the extent of its interest
as a Term Secured Party) plus (C) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and
other amounts through the date of purchase; and (y) an obligation on the part of the
respective Eligible ABL Purchasers (which shall be expressly provided in the assignment
documentation described below) to reimburse each issuing lender and bank guaranty issuer
(or, any Term Secured Party required to pay same) for all amounts thereafter drawn with
respect to any letters of credit and any bank guaranties constituting Term Obligations which
remain outstanding after the date of any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.4 (except to
the extent of the credit-linked deposits actually held at such time by the deposit bank
under the Term Credit Agreement which are required, in accordance with the provisions of the
Term Credit Agreement, to be applied to pay same);
(2) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) payable in cash on
the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible
ABL Purchasers (without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever,
whether as to the enforceability of any Term Obligation or the validity, enforceability,
perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting
obligation for, any Term Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the
representation and warranty that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and
encumbrances (other than participation interests not prohibited by the Term Credit
Agreement, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) shall be
appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers do not
pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the
right to convey, whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the Term
Obligations); provided that the purchase price in respect of any outstanding letter
of credit that remains undrawn on the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when
such letter of credit is drawn upon (i) first, from the credit-linked deposits which then
remain on deposit in accordance with the terms of the Term Credit Agreement (as described in
clause (1)(A)(II) above), until the amounts contained therein have been exhausted, and (ii)
thereafter, directly by the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers;
(3) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) accompanied by a
waiver by the ABL Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties)
of all claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as a
result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 2.4(h);
(4) with all amounts payable to the various Term Secured Parties in respect of the
assignments described above to be distributed to them by the Term Collateral Agent in
accordance with their respective holdings of the various Term Obligations; and
(5) with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the Term Collateral Agent
(with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make
such payment, by the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers, who shall
have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the
-41-
Grantors); it being understood and agreed that the Term Collateral Agent and each other
Term Secured Party shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant
Term Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.4(h). The relevant assignment documentation shall also provide that, if for
any reason (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Term Collateral
Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment)), the amount of credit-linked deposits held by the deposit bank under the terms of
the Term Documents is at any time less than the full amounts owing with respect to any
letter of credit and/or any bank guaranty described above (including facing, fronting,
facility and similar fees) then the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL
Purchasers shall promptly reimburse the Term Collateral Agent (who shall pay the respective
issuing lender and/or bank guaranty issuer, as the case may be) the amount of deficiency.
(ii) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 2.4(h)(i) above shall be
exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of
exercise (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective
Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers) given to the Term Collateral Agent by an
Eligible ABL Purchaser. Neither the Term Collateral Agent nor any Term Secured Party shall have
any disclosure obligation to any Eligible Term Purchaser, the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL
Secured Party in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.
(iii) The right to purchase the Term Obligations as described in this Section 2.4(h) may be
exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (ii)) during the
period that (1) begins on the date occurring three Business Days after the first to occur of (x)
the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement,
(y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement or (z) the
occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Company or any other
Grantor which constitutes an event of default under the Term Credit Agreement (in each case, so
long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due at final maturity or such Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of default has not been rescinded or cured within such
10 Business Day period, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting Term Obligations remain
owing); provided that if there is any failure to meet the condition described in the
proviso of preceding clause (i) hereof, the aforementioned date shall be extended until the first
date upon which such condition is satisfied, and (2) ends on the 90th day after the start of the
period described in clause (1) above.
(iv) The obligations of the Term Secured Parties to sell their respective Term Obligations
under this Section 2.4(h) are several and not joint and several. To the extent any Term Secured
Party breaches its obligation to sell its Term Obligations under this Section 2.4(h) (a
“Defaulting Term Secured Party”), nothing in this Section 2.4(h) shall be deemed to require
the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party to purchase such Defaulting Term Secured
Party’s Term Obligations for resale to the holders of ABL Obligations and in all cases, the Term
Collateral Agent and each Term Secured Party complying with the terms of this Section 2.4(h) shall
not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or
inaction of any Defaulting Term Secured Party; provided that nothing in this clause (iv)
shall require any Eligible ABL Purchaser to purchase less than all of the Term Obligations.
-42-
(v) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible ABL
Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.4(h) (so long as they meet all eligibility standards
contained in all relevant Term Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an
assignment to the extent required by such Term Documents) for purposes of all Term Documents and
hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor shall be required.
2.5. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
(a) Finance and Sale Issues.
(i) Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor
shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Term Collateral Agent shall
desire to permit the use of cash collateral constituting TL Priority Collateral on which the Term
Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to
obtain financing, whether from the Term Secured Parties or any other entity under Section 363 or
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (each, a “DIP Financing”),
then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that they will raise no
objection to such use of cash collateral constituting TL Priority Collateral or to the fact that
such DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the TL Priority Collateral and will not request adequate
protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly, agreed by the Term
Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 2.5(c)) and, to the extent the Liens on the
TL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations are subordinated or pari passu
with the Liens on the TL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing, the ABL Collateral Agent
and the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate their Liens in the TL Priority Collateral to the
Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto). The ABL Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself
and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that they will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or
other disposition of any TL Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment
of proceeds with respect to the Second Priority Lien on the TL Priority Collateral in favor of the
ABL Collateral Agent and the Third Priority Lien on the TL Priority Collateral in favor of the
Notes Collateral Agent in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims
under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Term Secured Parties have consented to such sale or
disposition of such assets.
(ii) Following the Discharge of Term Obligations and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations
has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding and the ABL Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the Company or any other Grantor to
obtain a DIP Financing, then the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral constituting TL
Priority Collateral or to the fact that such DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the TL Priority
Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith
(except, as expressly, agreed by the ABL Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section
2.5(c)) and, to the extent the Liens on the TL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are
subordinated or pari passu with the Liens on the TL Priority Collateral securing
such DIP Financing, the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the TL Priority
Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating
-43-
thereto). Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf
of the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other
disposition of any TL Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of
proceeds with respect to the Third Priority Lien on the TL Priority Collateral in favor of the
Notes Collateral Agent in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims
under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the ABL Secured Parties have consented to such sale or
disposition of such assets.
(b) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has
occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that none of them shall
seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
in respect of the TL Priority Collateral without the prior written consent of the Term Collateral
Agent. Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has
occurred, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees
that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the TL Priority Collateral without the prior written consent
of the ABL Collateral Agent.
(c) Adequate Protection.
(i) The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that none of them shall
contest (or support any other person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Collateral Agent or
the Term Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any TL Priority Collateral or (ii)
any objection by the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties claiming a lack
of adequate protection with respect to the TL Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions in this Section 2.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the Term
Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional
collateral in the nature of assets constituting TL Priority Collateral in connection with any DIP
Financing, then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Secured Parties and
the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, may seek or request
adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien of the ABL
Collateral Agent will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Obligations and such DIP
Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on TL
Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Obligations under
this Agreement and which Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent will be subordinated to the Liens
securing the Term Obligations, such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and the
ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens on TL Priority Collateral securing the Notes
Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Obligations and ABL Obligations under this Agreement,
and (B) in the event the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties or
the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, seek or request
adequate protection in respect of TL Priority Collateral securing ABL Obligations or the Notes
Obligations, as applicable, and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional
collateral in the nature of assets constituting TL Priority Collateral, then the ABL Collateral
Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Secured Parties and
-44-
the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that the
Term Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security
for the Term Obligations and for any such DIP Financing provided by the Term Secured Parties and
that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations
shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Term Obligations and any such
DIP Financing provided by the Term Secured Parties (and all obligations relating thereto) and to
any other Liens granted to the Term Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the
other Liens on TL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations are so
subordinated to such Term Obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of
itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other
person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties for
adequate protection with respect to any TL Priority Collateral or (ii) any objection by the ABL
Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on
the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with
respect to the TL Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section
2.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset
thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of
assets constituting TL Priority Collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate
protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to
the Liens securing the ABL Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating
thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on TL Priority Collateral securing the Notes
Obligations are so subordinated to the ABL Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event
the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, seek or request
adequate protection in respect of TL Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations, and such
adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets
constituting TL Priority Collateral, then the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Notes Secured Parties, agree that the ABL Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on
such additional collateral as security for the ABL Obligations and for any such DIP Financing
provided by the ABL Secured Parties and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the
Notes Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the ABL
Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the ABL Secured Parties (and all obligations
relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the ABL Secured Parties as adequate protection
on the same basis as the other Liens on TL Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are
so subordinated to such ABL Obligations under this Agreement.
(d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(a), nothing
contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured
Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken
by the ABL Collateral Agent, any of the ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any of
the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the TL Priority Collateral, including the seeking by the
ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Parties of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the ABL Collateral Agent, any
ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of any of its rights
and remedies under the ABL Documents, the Notes Documents or
-45-
otherwise in respect thereof. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(b),
nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL
Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action
taken by the Notes Collateral Agent or any of the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the TL
Priority Collateral, including the seeking by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Parties of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the Notes Collateral Agent or
any Notes Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the Notes Documents or otherwise
in respect thereof.
(e) Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt
obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor
are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on
account of Term Obligations, on account of ABL Obligations and on account of Notes Obligations,
then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Term Obligations, on account
of the ABL Obligations and on account of Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same
property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations
pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
(f) Post-Petition Interest.
(i) None of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any
Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Collateral Agent or any
Term Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Obligations
consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Term
Secured Party’s Lien on the TL Priority Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of
the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral or the
Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties on the TL Priority
Collateral. None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to
challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for allowance in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees
or expenses to the extent of the value of the ABL Secured Party’s Lien on the TL Priority
Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of
the Notes Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral.
(ii) Neither the Term Collateral Agent nor any other Term Secured Party shall oppose or seek
to challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral
Agent or any Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL
Obligations or Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the
extent of the value of the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties on
the TL Priority Collateral or the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured
Parties on the TL Priority Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the Term Secured
Parties on the TL Priority Collateral and with respect to the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent,
after taking into account the Lien of the ABL Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral).
Neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any other ABL Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge
any claim by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding of Notes Obligations consisting of
-46-
post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Notes
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral (after taking
into account the Lien of the Term Secured Parties and the ABL Secured Parties on the TL Priority
Collateral).
(g) Waiver. The ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured
Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties,
waive any claim they may hereafter have against any Term Secured Party arising out of the election
of any Term Secured Party of the application of Section 111l(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or
out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in
connection with the TL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
2.6. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.
(a) Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent,
for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, acknowledge that they and such ABL Secured
Parties and such Notes Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the Term
Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Parties, and based on documents and information deemed by them
appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such ABL Documents and Notes

the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Term
Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of
credit under their respective Term Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in
their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties
shall have no duty to the ABL Collateral Agent, any of the ABL Secured Parties, the Notes
Collateral Agent or any of the Notes Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a manner
which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under
any agreements with the Company or any other Grantor (including the Term Documents, the ABL
Documents and the Notes Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be
charged with.
(c) No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
(i) No right of the Term Secured Parties, the Term Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce
any provision of this Agreement or any Term Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any other Grantor or by any act
or failure to act by any Term Secured Party or the Term Collateral
-47-
Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Agreement, any of the Term Documents, any of the ABL Documents or any of the Notes Documents,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties, or
any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.
(ii) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the
rights of the Company and the other Grantors under the Term Documents and subject to the provisions
of Section 2.4(c)), the Term Secured Parties, the Term Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any
time and from time to time in accordance with the Term Documents and/or applicable law, without the
consent of, or notice to, the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral
Agent or any Notes Secured Party, without incurring any liabilities to the ABL Collateral Agent,
any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party and without impairing
or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right
of subrogation or other right or remedy of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the
Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do
any one or more of the following:
(1) sell, exchange, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner (subject

any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly

Term Secured Parties or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.

Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, also agree that the Term
Secured Parties and the Term Collateral Agent shall have no liability to the ABL Collateral Agent,
any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party, and the ABL

Parties or the Term Collateral Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:
(1) the Term Documents (other than this Agreement);
(2) the collection of the Term Obligations; or
-48-
(3) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any TL Priority
Collateral.
The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Collateral
Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that the Term Secured Parties and
the Term Collateral Agent have no duty to the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the

Section 3. ABL Priority Collateral.
3.1. Lien Priorities.
(a) Relative Priorities. Notwithstanding (i) the time, manner, order or method of
grant, creation, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Term Obligations or the Notes
Obligations granted on the ABL Priority Collateral or of any Liens securing the ABL Obligations
granted on the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the security
interests and Liens granted in favor of any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party on the ABL
Priority Collateral, (iii) the date on which any ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or Notes
Obligations are extended, (iv) any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law, including any
rule for determining priority thereunder or under any other law or rule governing the relative
priorities of secured creditors, including with respect to real property or fixtures, (v) any
provision set forth in any ABL Document, any Term Document or any Notes Document (other than this

(vii) any other circumstance whatsoever, the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, hereby agree that:
(i) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations now or
hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Parties or any
agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and
prior to (x) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any of the Term
-50-
Obligations and (y) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any of the Notes
Obligations;
(ii) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of
the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent, any Notes
Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by
grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and
subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL
Obligations;
(iii) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Term Obligations now or
hereafter held by or on behalf of the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Parties or

the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Term Obligations.
All Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations shall be and remain senior in
all respects and prior to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing (x) any Term

ABL Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any
other Grantor or any other Person. All Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Term
Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the ABL Priority
Collateral securing any Notes Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any
Term Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any
other Grantor or any other Person.
(b) Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Term Collateral Agent, for itself
and on behalf of each Term Secured Party, the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of
each ABL Secured Party, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Notes

(i) the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the ABL
Secured Parties in the ABL Priority Collateral, by or on behalf of any of the Term Secured Parties

provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights
of any of the Collateral Agents or any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including the
-51-
priority of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, the Term
Obligations and the Notes Obligations as provided in Sections 3.1(a), 3.2(a) and 3.2(b).
(c) No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, the
parties hereto agree that the Company or any other Grantor shall not grant or permit any additional
Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Term Obligation or Notes Obligation
unless it has granted or contemporaneously grants (x)(i) a First Priority Lien on such asset or

Collateral or (ii) a Second Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the ABL Obligations
if such asset or property constitutes TL Priority Collateral, (y)(i) a Second Priority Lien on such

(d) Effectiveness of Lien Priorities. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that
the Lien priorities provided for in this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any manner
whatsoever, including, without limitation, on account of: (i) the invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of all or any part of the ABL Documents, the Term Documents or the Notes
Documents; (ii) any amendment, change or modification of any ABL Documents, Term Documents or Notes
Documents; or (iii) any impairment, modification, change, exchange, release or subordination of or
limitation on, any liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries party to any of the ABL Documents, the Term Documents or the
Notes Documents, its property, or its estate in bankruptcy resulting from any bankruptcy,
arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation, rehabilitation, similar proceeding or
otherwise involving or affecting any Secured Party.

account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or
arrangement in respect of ABL Priority Collateral to which the Term Collateral Agent, any
Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured

of delivery of a notice in writing to the ABL Collateral Agent of the Term Collateral
Agent’s intention to exercise its right to take such actions (the “Term Standstill
Period”); provided, further, however, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, neither the Term Collateral Agent nor any Term Secured Party will
exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral if,

with respect to all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (prompt notice of such
exercise to be given to the Term Collateral Agent) and are pursuing the exercise thereof,
(y) will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the
ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party with respect to, or any other exercise by the
ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to, the
ABL Priority Collateral under the ABL Documents or otherwise, or (z) subject to the rights

attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 3.1;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.2(a) shall be construed to

or any Notes Secured Party to sell any ABL Priority Collateral free of the Lien of the ABL
Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party or (B) the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes
Secured Party to sell any ABL Priority Collateral free of the Lien of the Term Collateral
Agent or any Term Secured Party; and
(ii) the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have the exclusive
right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid
their debt) and make determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with
respect to, the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the
Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes
Secured Party; provided, that:
(1) the Term Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior
Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, or the rights of
any ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect
thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral;
-53-
(2) the Notes Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior
Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and the Term

secured by the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement;
(4) the Term Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to

terms of this Agreement;
(5) the Term Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to
vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim in an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise and other filings and make any arguments and

respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; and
(6) the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party may exercise any of its
rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral after the termination
of the Term Standstill Period to the extent permitted by clause (i)(x) above.
In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL
Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the ABL Documents and
exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the
exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an
agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of ABL Priority Collateral upon foreclosure,
to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and
remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured
creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
(b) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, so long as the Discharge of Term Obligations
has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or
against the Company or any other Grantor:
(i) none of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Secured Parties (x) will exercise

Collateral to which the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party is a party) or

relative priorities described in Section 3.1; and
(ii) the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall have the exclusive
right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid

respect to, the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the
Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party; provided, that:
(1) the Notes Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior
Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations, or the rights of
any Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties to exercise remedies in
respect thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Priority
Collateral;
(2) the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary
responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary

(iv) If, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, a subordination of the Term Collateral
Agent’s Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral is permitted (or in good faith believed by the Term
Collateral Agent to be permitted) under the Term Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under
the Term Credit Agreement and the Indentures (a “Subsequent ABL Collateral Priority Lien”),
then the Term Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with
respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for
itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Term
Collateral Agent an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the Notes
Collateral Agent for the benefit of (and on behalf of) the Notes Secured Parties to such Subsequent
Term Collateral Priority Lien.
(c) Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the
ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject
to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance
policy covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any
award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of
-60-
condemnation) in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral. Following the Discharge of ABL
Obligations, unless and until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, the Term Collateral
Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights
of the Grantors under the Term Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering
the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in
any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral.
(d) Amendments to Term Security Documents or Notes Security Documents.
(i) Without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, no Term Security Document
or Notes Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to
the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Term Document or new
Notes Document, would contravene the provisions of this Agreement. Grantors agree that each Term
Security Document and Notes Security Document (other than (x) any mortgage, deed of trust or
similar security document relating to real property and fixtures thereon and (y) any Term Security
Document and Notes Security Document where the party or parties granting security interests
thereunder are not parties hereto, as contemplated by Section 6.19) shall include the following
language (with any necessary modifications to give effect to applicable definitions) (or language
to similar effect approved by the ABL Collateral Agent):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests
granted to [the Term Collateral Agent] [the Notes Collateral Agent] pursuant to this
Agreement in any ABL Priority Collateral and the exercise of any right or remedy by
[the Term Collateral Agent] [the Notes Collateral Agent] with respect to any ABL
Priority Collateral hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement, dated as of [April 12, 2006] [March 18, 2009] (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor
Agreement”), among DHM HOLDING COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation, XXXX
HOLDING COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, XXXX FOOD COMPANY, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the other GRANTORS from time to time
party thereto, DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as ABL Collateral Agent, DBAG, as
Term Collateral Agent, [U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Notes Collateral Agent],
and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and
this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”
(ii) In the event any ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor
enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the ABL Security Documents for the
purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any
provisions of, any ABL Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Collateral
Agent, such ABL Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with
respect to or relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall
apply automatically to any comparable provision of (x) the
-61-
Comparable Term Security Document without the consent of the Term Collateral Agent or the Term
Secured Parties and without any action by the Term Collateral Agent, the Company or any other
Grantor and (y) the Comparable Notes Security Document without the consent of the Notes Collateral
Agent or the Notes Secured Parties and without any action by the Notes Collateral Agent, the
Company or any other Grantor, provided that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall
have the effect of (i) removing assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral subject to the Lien
of the Term Security Documents or the Notes Security Documents, except to the extent that a release
of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 3.4(a) and provided that there is a
corresponding release of such Lien securing the ABL Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the Term
Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent without its consent or (iii) permitting other liens
on the ABL Priority Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Term Documents, the Notes
Documents or Section 3.5 and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given
to the Term Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the
effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.
(iii) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, in the event any Term Collateral Agent or
the Term Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in
respect of any of the Term Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or
waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Term Security Document or
changing in any manner the rights of the Term Collateral Agent, such Term Secured Parties, the
Company or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect to or relating to the ABL
Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any
comparable provision of the Comparable Notes Security Document without the consent of the Notes
Collateral Agent or the Notes Secured Parties and without any action by the Notes Collateral Agent,
the Company or any other Grantor, provided that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent
shall have the effect of (i) removing assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral subject to the
Lien of the Notes Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted
or required by Section 3.4(b) and provided that there is a corresponding release of such
Lien securing the Term Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the Notes Collateral Agent without its
consent or (iii) permitting other liens on the ABL Priority Collateral not permitted under the
terms of the Notes Documents or Section 2.5 and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent
shall have been given to the Notes Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the
effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.
(e) Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.1 and
the Notes Documents, the Term Collateral Agent, the Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral
Agent and the Notes Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against
the Company or any other Grantor that has guaranteed the Term Obligations or the Notes Obligations
in accordance with the terms of the Term Documents, the Notes Documents and applicable law. Except
as otherwise set forth in Section 3.1, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the
Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Parties of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the Term
Obligations and Notes Obligations, as applicable, so long as such receipt is not the direct or
indirect result of the exercise by the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Parties, the Notes
Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor
(including setoff) in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of
this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.
-62-
(f) Bailee for Perfection.
(i) The ABL Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the ABL Priority Collateral that is
in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the
extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such
ABL Priority Collateral being the “Pledged ABL Priority Collateral”) as collateral agent
for the ABL Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any collateral that cannot be
perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Term Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Term Secured
Parties) and the Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties) and any assignee
thereof and act as such agent under all control agreements relating to the Pledged ABL Priority
Collateral, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under
the ABL Credit Documents, the Term Documents and the Notes Documents, as applicable, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 3.4(f). Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Term
Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral as collateral agent for the
Term Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any collateral that cannot be perfected
in such manner, as agent for, the Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties)
and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under
the Term Documents and the Notes Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Section 3.4(f). As security for the payment and performance in full of all the Notes
Obligations and Term Obligations each Grantor hereby grants to the ABL Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Notes Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties a lien on and security interest
in all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor, in and to and under the Pledged ABL
Priority Collateral wherever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from
time to time. As security for the payment and performance in full of all the Notes Obligations,
each Grantor hereby grants to the Term Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured
Parties a lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor, in
and to and under the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral wherever located and whether now existing or
hereafter arising or acquired from time to time.
(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (x) until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has
occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged ABL Priority
Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Documents as if the Liens of the Term Collateral
Agent under the Term Security Documents and the Liens of the Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes
Security Documents did not exist and (y) following the Discharge of ABL Obligations and until the
Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, the Term Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal
with the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Term Documents as if
the Liens of the Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes Security Documents did not exist. The
rights of the Term Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to
the terms of this Agreement and to the ABL Collateral Agent’s rights under the ABL Documents.
(iii) The ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any ABL Secured Party,
the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Party to ensure that the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors
or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section
3.4(f). The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 3.4(f) shall
be limited solely to holding the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral as
-63-
bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 3.4(f). The Term Collateral Agent shall have
no obligation whatsoever to any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Party to ensure that the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors
or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section
3.4(f). The duties or responsibilities of the Term Collateral Agent under this Section 3.4(f)
shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral as bailee or agent in
accordance with this Section 3.4(f).
(iv) The ABL Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) shall not have by reason
of the ABL Security Documents, the Term Security Documents, the Notes Security Documents, this
Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any ABL Secured Party, the
Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Party. The Term Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) shall not have by reason
of the Term Security Documents, the Notes Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document
a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any
Notes Secured Party.
(v) Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations under the ABL Documents to which the ABL Collateral
Agent is a party, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining
Pledged ABL Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or
bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Term Collateral Agent to the
extent Term Obligations remain outstanding, second, to the Notes Collateral Agent to the extent
Notes Obligations remain outstanding, and third, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no ABL
Obligations, Term Obligations or Notes Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow
such Person to obtain control of such Pledged ABL Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the
Term Collateral Agent or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, in assigning (without recourse to
or warranty by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof)
control over any other Pledged ABL Priority Collateral under its control. The ABL Collateral Agent
further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such
Person obtaining a first priority interest in the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations and upon
the Discharge of Term Obligations under the Term Documents to which the Term Collateral Agent is a
party, the Term Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged ABL
Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or bailees,
together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Notes Collateral Agent to the extent Notes
Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Term
Obligations or Notes Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to
obtain control of such Pledged ABL Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the Notes
Collateral Agent in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the Term Collateral Agent or any
Term Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any other Pledged ABL Priority
Collateral under its control. The Term Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action
reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such Person obtaining a first priority
interest in the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any Term Obligations
remain outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, all rights of the
-64-
ABL Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Term Security Documents, the ABL Security
Documents or the Notes Security Documents (1) with respect to the delivery and control of any part
of the ABL Priority Collateral, and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence the
maintenance or disposition of such ABL Priority Collateral, shall immediately, and (to the extent
permitted by law) without further action on the part of either of the Term Collateral Agent, the
ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, pass to the Term Collateral Agent, who shall
thereafter hold such rights for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with
respect to any collateral that cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Notes Secured
Parties. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent and the Grantors agrees that it will, if any Term
Obligations or Notes Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, take any
other action required by any law or reasonably requested by the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes
Collateral Agent, in connection with the Term Collateral Agent’s establishment and perfection of a
First Priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and the Notes Collateral Agent’s
establishment and perfection of a Second Priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason, prior to
the Discharge of Term Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent acquires
possession of any Pledged Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes
Collateral Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the same extent as is provided in
preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged ABL Priority Collateral, provided that as soon
as is practicable the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to
be delivered such Pledged Term Priority Collateral to the Term Collateral Agent in a manner
otherwise consistent with the requirements of the preceding clause (v).
(g) When Discharge of ABL Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if at any time after the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred
(or concurrently therewith) the Company or any other Grantor immediately thereafter (or
concurrently therewith) enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any ABL Obligations, then such
Discharge of ABL Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of
this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation
as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of ABL Obligations), and the obligations
under the Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as ABL Obligations (together with
Secured Cash Management Agreements on the basis provided in the definition of “ABL Documents”
contained herein) for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities
and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, the term “ABL Credit Agreement” shall be
deemed appropriately modified to refer to such Permitted Refinancing and the ABL Collateral Agent
under such ABL Documents shall be an ABL Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof and the new
secured parties under such ABL Documents (together with Secured Cash Management Banks as provided
herein) shall automatically be treated as ABL Secured Parties for all purposes of this Agreement.
Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Company or any other Grantor has entered into a new ABL
Document in respect of a Permitted Refinancing of ABL Obligations (which notice shall include the
identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the “New ABL Agent”), and delivery by the
New ABL Agent of an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder, the Term Collateral Agent and the Notes
Collateral Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments
or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New ABL Agent shall reasonably request in
order to pro-
-65-
vide to the New ABL Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all
material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New ABL Agent any
Pledged ABL Priority Collateral held by the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent
together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New ABL Agent to obtain control of
such Pledged ABL Priority Collateral). The New ABL Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of
this Agreement. If the new ABL Obligations under the new ABL Documents are secured by assets of
the Grantors of the type constituting ABL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the Term
Obligations and the Notes Obligations, then the Term Obligations shall be secured at such time by a
Second Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Term Security Documents with
respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral and the Notes Obligations shall be secured at such
time by a Third Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Notes Security
Documents with respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral. If the new ABL Obligations under the
new ABL Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting TL Priority
Collateral that do not also secure the Term Obligations and the Notes Obligations, then the Term
Obligations shall be secured at such time by a First Priority Lien on such assets to the same
extent provided in the Term Security Documents with respect to the other TL Priority Collateral and
the Notes Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Third Priority Lien on such assets to the
same extent provided in the Notes Security Documents with respect to the other TL Priority
Collateral.
(h) Option to Purchase ABL Obligations.
(i) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL
Secured Parties, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility standards
contained in all relevant ABL Documents) at any time or from time to time designated by the holders
of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Obligations under the Term
Credit Agreement as being entitled to exercise all default purchase options as to the Term
Obligations then outstanding (an “Eligible Term Purchaser”) shall have the right to
purchase by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the Term
Secured Parties), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (iii) below of this
Section 3.4(h), all, but not less than all, of the ABL Obligations (other than the ABL Obligations
of a Defaulting ABL Secured Party (as defined below)), including all principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of
all ABL Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase; provided, that at the time of (and
as a condition to) any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4(h), all commitments pursuant to any
then outstanding ABL Credit Agreement shall have terminated in accordance with their terms. Any
purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4(h)(i) shall be made as follows:
(1) for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all loans, advances
or other similar extensions of credit that constitute ABL Obligations (including
unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, but excluding the undrawn amount
of then outstanding letters of credit), 100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (without regard, however, to any
acceleration or other prepayment penalties or premiums other than customary breakage costs)
plus (B) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts through the
date of purchase; and (y) an obligation on the part of the re-
-66-
spective Eligible Term Purchasers (which shall be expressly provided in the assignment
documentation described below) to reimburse each issuing lender and bank guaranty issuer (or
any ABL Secured Party required to pay same) for all amounts thereafter drawn with respect to
any letters of credit and any bank guaranties constituting ABL Obligations which remain
outstanding after the date of any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4, together with all
facing fees and other amounts which may at any future time be owing to the respective
issuing lender or bank guaranty issues with respect to such letters of credit and bank
guaranties;
(2) with the purchase price described in the preceding clause (i)(1)(x) payable in cash
on the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible Term Purchaser or
Eligible Term Purchasers (without recourse and without any representation or warranty
whatsoever, whether as to the enforceability of any ABL Obligation or the validity,
enforceability, perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or
other supporting obligation for, any ABL Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever,
except the representation and warranty that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens
and encumbrances (other than participation interests not prohibited by the ABL Credit
Agreement, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) shall be
appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers do
not pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has
the right to convey, whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the ABL
Obligations); provided that the purchase price in respect of any outstanding letter
of credit that remains undrawn on the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when
such letter of credit is drawn upon (i) first, from the cash collateral account described in
clause (a)(3) below, until the amounts contained therein have been exhausted, and (ii)
thereafter, directly by the respective Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers;
(3) with such purchase accompanied by a deposit of cash collateral under the sole
dominion and control of the ABL Collateral Agent or its designee in an amount equal to 110%
of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding letters of credit and
bank guaranties pursuant to the ABL Documents and the aggregate facing and similar fees
which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the letters of credit and bank
guaranties (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), as security for the
respective Eligible Term Purchaser’s or Eligible Term Purchasers’ obligation to pay amounts
as provided in preceding clause (i)(l)(y), it being understood and agreed that (x) at the
time any facing or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any letter of credit,
the ABL Collateral Agent may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay same
and (y) upon any drawing under any letter of credit, the ABL Collateral Agent shall apply
amounts deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing. After
giving effect to any payment made as described above in this clause (3), those amounts (if
any) then on deposit with the ABL Collateral Agent as described in this clause (3) which
exceed 110% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding letters of
credit and bank guaranties and the aggregate facing and similar fees (to the respective
issuers) which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the then outstanding
letters of credit and bank guaranties (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity),
shall be returned to the respective Eligible
-67-
Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers (as their interests appear). Furthermore,
at such time as all letters of credit and bank guaranties have been cancelled, expired or
been fully drawn, as the case may be, and after all applications described above have been
made, any excess cash collateral deposited as described above in this clause (3) (and not
previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective
Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers, as their interests appear;
(4) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) accompanied by a
waiver by the Term Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Term Secured Parties)
of all claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as a
result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 3.4(h);
(5) with all amounts payable to the various ABL Secured Parties in respect of the
assignments described above to be distributed to them by the ABL Collateral Agent in
accordance with their respective holdings of the various ABL Obligations; and
(6) with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the ABL Collateral Agent
(with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make
such payment, by the respective Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers, who
shall have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the Grantors); it being understood
and agreed that the ABL Collateral Agent and each other ABL Secured Party shall retain all
rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant ABL Documents for all periods prior to
any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.4(h). The relevant
assignment documentation shall also provide that, if for any reason (other than the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the ABL Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment)), the amount of cash
collateral held by the ABL Collateral Agent or its designee pursuant to preceding clause
(a)(3) is at any time less than the full amounts owing with respect to any letter of credit
described above (including facing and similar fees) then the respective Eligible Term
Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers shall promptly reimburse the ABL Collateral Agent (who
shall pay the respective issuing bank) the amount of deficiency.
(ii) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 3.4(h)(i) above shall be
exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of
exercise (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective
Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers) given to the ABL Collateral Agent by an
Eligible Term Purchaser. Neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall have any
disclosure obligation to any Eligible Term Purchaser, the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured
Party in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.
(iii) The right to purchase the ABL Obligations as described in this Section 3.4(h) may be
exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (ii)) during the
period that (1) begins on the date occurring three Business Days after the first to occur of (x)
the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the loans under the ABL Credit
-68-
Agreement, (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the loans under the ABL Credit
Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the
Company or any other Grantor which constitutes an event of default under the ABL Credit Agreement
(in each case, so long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due at final maturity or such
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of default has not been rescinded or
cured within such 10 Business Day period, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting ABL
Obligations remain owing); provided that if there is any failure to meet the condition
described in the proviso of preceding clause (i) hereof, the aforementioned date shall be extended
until the first date upon which such condition is satisfied, and (2) ends on the 90th day after the
start of the period described in clause (1) above.
(iv) The obligations of the ABL Secured Parties to sell their respective ABL Obligations under
this Section 3.4(h) are several and not joint and several. To the extent any ABL Secured Party
breaches its obligation to sell its ABL Obligations under this Section 3.4(h) (a “Defaulting
ABL Secured Party”), nothing in this Section 3.4(h) shall be deemed to require the ABL
Collateral Agent or any other ABL Secured Party to purchase such Defaulting ABL Secured Party’s ABL
Obligations for resale to the holders of Term Obligations and in all cases, the ABL Collateral
Agent and each ABL Secured Party complying with the terms of this Section 3.4(h) shall not be
deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction
of any Defaulting ABL Secured Party; provided that nothing in this clause (iv) shall
require any Eligible Term Purchaser to purchase less than all of the ABL Obligations.
(v) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible Term
Purchasers pursuant to this Section 3.4(h) (so long as they meet all eligibility standards
contained in all relevant Term Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an
assignment to the extent required by such ABL Documents) for purposes of all Term Documents and
hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor shall be required.
3.5. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
(a) Finance and Sale Issues.
(i) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor
shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Collateral Agent shall
desire to permit the use of cash collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral on which the ABL
Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to
obtain a DIP Financing, then the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured
Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree
that they will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral constituting ABL Priority
Collateral or to the fact that such DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the ABL Priority
Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith
(except, as expressly agreed by the ABL Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section
3.5(c)) and, to the extent the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations
are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral
securing such DIP Financing, the Term Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent will
subordinate their Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing
(and all obligations relating thereto). The Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Secured
-69-
Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties,
agree that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any ABL
Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of proceeds with respect to
the Second Priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral in favor of the Term Collateral Agent and
the Third Priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent in
the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code if the ABL Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition of such
assets.
(ii) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations and until the Discharge of Term Obligations
has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding and the Term Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the Company or any other Grantor to
obtain a DIP Financing, then the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral constituting ABL
Priority Collateral or to the fact that such DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the ABL Priority
Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith
(except, as expressly, agreed by the Term Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section
3.5(c)) and, to the extent the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations
are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral
securing such DIP Financing, the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the ABL
Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating
thereto). Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Notes Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other
disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of
proceeds with respect to the Third Priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral in favor of the
Notes Collateral Agent in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims
under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Term Secured Parties have consented to such sale or
disposition of such assets.
(b) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has
occurred, the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, and the
Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that none of them
shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL
Collateral Agent. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, until the Discharge of Term
Obligations has occurred, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral without the
prior written consent of the Term Collateral Agent.
(c) Adequate Protection.
(i) The Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that none of them shall
contest (or support any other person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or the
ABL Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral or (ii) any
objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or
proceeding based on the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Se-
-70-
cured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority
Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 3.5(c), in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate
protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Priority
Collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of
itself or any of the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and
the Notes Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such
additional collateral, which Lien of the Term Collateral Agent will be subordinated to the Liens
securing the ABL Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the
same basis as the other Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations are so
subordinated to the ABL Obligations under this Agreement and which Lien of the Notes Collateral
Agent will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations, such DIP Financing (and all
obligations relating thereto) and the Term Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL
Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to the ABL Obligations and
Term Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of
itself and the Term Secured Parties, or the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Notes Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of ABL Priority Collateral
securing Term Obligations or the Notes Obligations, as applicable, and such adequate protection is
granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Priority
Collateral, then the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Secured Parties,
and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that the
ABL Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security
for the ABL Obligations and for any such DIP Financing provided by the ABL Secured Parties and that
any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Obligations and the Notes Obligations
shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the ABL Obligations and any such DIP
Financing provided by the ABL Secured Parties (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any
other Liens granted to the ABL Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the
other Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations and Notes Obligations are so
subordinated to such ABL Obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) Prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of
itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other
person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties for
adequate protection with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral or (ii) any objection by the Term
Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on
the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with
respect to the ABL Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section
3.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the Term Secured Parties (or any subset
thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of
assets constituting ABL Priority Collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate
protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to
the Liens securing the Term Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating
thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes
Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event
the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes
-71-
Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of ABL Priority Collateral
securing the Notes Obligations, and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional
collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Priority Collateral, then the Notes Collateral
Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Collateral Agent
shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Term
Obligations and for any such DIP Financing provided by the Term Secured Parties and that any Lien
on such additional collateral securing the Notes Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on
such collateral securing the Term Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the Term
Secured Parties (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Term
Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Priority
Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to such Term Obligations under this
Agreement.
(d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a), nothing
contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured
Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken
by the Term Collateral Agent, any of the Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any of
the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, including the seeking by the
Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Parties of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the Term Collateral Agent,
any Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of any of its
rights and remedies under the Term Documents, the Notes Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.
Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or
in any way limit the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party from objecting in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent
or any of the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, including the
seeking by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of adequate protection in
respect thereof or the asserting by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of any
of its rights and remedies under the Notes Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.
(e) Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt
obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor
are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on
account of ABL Obligations, on account of Term Obligations and on account of the Notes Obligations,
then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations, on account
of the Term Obligations and on account of the Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same
property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations
pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
(f) Post-Petition Interest.
(i) None of the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or
any Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or
any ABL Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Obligations
consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent
-72-
of the value of the ABL Secured Party’s Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, without regard to
the existence of the Lien of the Term Collateral Agent on behalf of the Term Secured Parties on the
ABL Priority Collateral or the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured
Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral. None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured
Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Obligations consisting of
post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Term Secured Party’s
Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Notes
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral.
(ii) Neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any other ABL Secured Party shall oppose or seek to
challenge any claim by the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral
Agent or any Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term
Obligations or Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the
extent of the value of the Lien of the Term Collateral Agent on behalf of the Term Secured Parties
on the ABL Priority Collateral or the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes
Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the ABL
Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral and with respect to the Lien of the Notes Collateral
Agent, after taking into account the Lien of the Term Secured Parties on the ABL Priority
Collateral). Neither the Term Collateral Agent nor any other Term Secured Party shall oppose or
seek to challenge any claim by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party for allowance
in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition
interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Notes Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral (after taking into account the
Lien of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral).
(g) Waiver. The Term Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Secured
Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties,
waive any claim they may hereafter have against any ABL Secured Party arising out of the election
of any ABL Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or
out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in
connection with the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
3.6. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent,
for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, acknowledge that they and such Term Secured
Parties and Notes Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the ABL Collateral
Agent or any ABL Secured Parties, and based on documents and information deemed by them
appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Term Documents and

ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The ABL Secured
Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit
under their respective ABL Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their
sole discretion, deem appropriate. The ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have
no duty to the Term Collateral Agent, or any of the Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral
Agent or any of the Notes Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows,
or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements

(c) No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
(i) No right of the ABL Secured Parties, the ABL Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce
any provision of this Agreement or any ABL Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or

or failure to act by any ABL Secured Party or the ABL Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by
any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the ABL Documents,
any of the Term Documents or any of the Notes Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which
the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise
charged with.

rights of the Company and the other Grantors under the ABL Documents and subject to the provisions
of Section 3.4(c)), the ABL Secured Parties, the ABL Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any
time and from time to time in accordance with the ABL Documents and/or applicable law, without the

Agent or any Notes Secured Party without incurring any liabilities to the Term Collateral Agent,
any Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party and without
impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if

Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished
thereby) do any one or more of the following:
(1) sell, exchange, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner (subject

any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party, and the Term
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent,
on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, hereby waive any claim against any ABL Secured

(1) the ABL Documents (other than this Agreement);
(2) the collection of the ABL Obligations; or
(3) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any ABL
Priority Collateral.
The Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that the ABL Secured
Parties and the ABL Collateral Agent have no duty to the Term Collateral Agent, the Term Secured
Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the maintenance or
preservation of the ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Obligations or otherwise.

-75-
(v) The Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree not to assert and hereby
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise

the Notes Collateral Agent (and any purchaser, assignee or transferee of assets as provided in
Section 4.3) (a) consent (without any representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever)
-76-
to the grant by any Grantor to the ABL Collateral Agent of a non-exclusive royalty-free
license to use for a period not to exceed 180 days (commencing with the initiation of any
enforcement of Liens by any of the Term Collateral Agent (provided that the ABL Collateral
Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent have received notice thereof), the ABL Collateral Agent or the
Notes Collateral Agent) any Patent, Trademark or proprietary information of such Grantor that is

assignee or transferee, as the case may be), to the ABL Collateral Agent a non-exclusive
royalty-free license to use for a period not to exceed 180 days (commencing with (x) the initiation
of any enforcement of Liens by the Term Collateral Agent (provided that the ABL Collateral
Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent have received notice thereof) or the ABL Collateral Agent or
(y) the purchase, assignment or transfer of, as the case may be, any Patent, Trademark or
proprietary information that is subject to a Lien held by the Term Collateral Agent or Notes
Collateral Agent (or subject to such purchase, assignment or transfer, as the case may be), in each
case in connection with the enforcement of any Lien held by the ABL Collateral Agent upon any
Inventory or other ABL Priority Collateral of any Grantor and to the extent the use of such Patent,
Trademark or proprietary information is necessary or appropriate, in the good faith opinion of the
ABL Collateral Agent, to process, ship, produce, store, complete, supply, lease, sell or otherwise
dispose of any such inventory in any lawful manner.
4.2. Access to Information. If the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral
Agent takes actual possession of any documentation of a Grantor (whether such documentation is in

of the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent), then upon request of the ABL
Collateral Agent and reasonable advance notice, the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral
Agent, as applicable, will permit the ABL Collateral Agent or its representative to inspect and
copy such documentation if and to the extent the ABL Collateral Agent certifies to the Term
Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, that:
(a) such documentation contains or may contain information necessary or appropriate, in
the good faith opinion of the ABL Collateral Agent, to the enforcement of the ABL Collateral
Agent’s Liens upon any ABL Priority Collateral; and
(b) the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties are entitled to receive and
use such information under applicable law and, in doing so, will comply with all obligations
imposed by law or contract in respect of the disclosure or use of such information.
4.3. Access to Property to Process and Sell Inventory.
(a) (i) If the ABL Collateral Agent commences any action or proceeding with respect to any of
its rights or remedies (including, but not limited to, any action of foreclosure), enforcement,
collection or execution with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (“ABL Priority Collateral
Enforcement Actions”) or if the Term Collateral Agent commences any action or proceeding with
respect to any of its rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), enforcement,
collection or execution with respect to the TL Priority Collateral and the Term Col-
-77-
lateral Agent (or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale conducted in foreclosure of any Term
Collateral Agent’s Liens) takes actual or constructive possession of TL Priority Collateral of any
Grantor (“TL Priority Collateral Enforcement Actions”), then the Term Secured Parties and
the Term Collateral Agent shall (subject to, in the case of any TL Priority Collateral Enforcement
Action, a prior written request by the ABL Collateral Agent to the Term Collateral Agent (the
“TL Priority Collateral Enforcement Action Notice”)) (x) cooperate with the ABL Collateral
Agent (and with its officers, employees, representatives and agents) in its efforts to conduct ABL
Priority Collateral Enforcement Actions in the ABL Priority Collateral and to finish any
work-in-process and process, ship, produce, store, complete, supply, lease, sell or otherwise
handle, deal with, assemble or dispose of, in any lawful manner, the ABL Priority Collateral, (y)
not hinder or restrict in any respect the ABL Collateral Agent from conducting ABL Priority
Collateral Enforcement Actions in the ABL Priority Collateral or from finishing any work-in-process
or processing, shipping, producing, storing, completing, supplying, leasing, selling or otherwise
handling, dealing with, assembling or disposing of, in any lawful manner, the ABL Priority
Collateral, and (z) permit the ABL Collateral Agent, its employees, agents, advisers and
representatives, at the cost and expense of the ABL Secured Parties (but with the Grantors’
reimbursement and indemnity obligation with respect thereto, which shall not be limited), to enter
upon and use the TL Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, equipment, processors,
computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files
and intellectual property), for a period commencing on (I) the date of the initial ABL Priority
Collateral Enforcement Action or the date of delivery of the TL Priority Collateral Enforcement
Action Notice, as the case may be, and (II) ending on the earlier of the date occurring 180 days
thereafter and the date on which all ABL Priority Collateral (other than ABL Priority Collateral
abandoned by the ABL Collateral Agent in writing) has been removed from the TL Priority Collateral
(such period, the “ABL Priority Collateral Processing and Sale Period”), for purposes of:
(A) assembling and storing the ABL Priority Collateral and completing the processing of
and turning into finished goods any ABL Priority Collateral consisting of work-in-process;
(B) selling any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located in or on such TL Priority
Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or
otherwise;
(C) removing and transporting any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located in or

(E) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure, and otherwise enforce the rights or
remedies of the ABL Secured Parties and/or the ABL Collateral Agent (including with respect
to any ABL Priority Collateral Enforcement Actions) in and to the ABL Priority Collateral;
-78-
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the
rights of the Term Collateral Agent from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring any TL
Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of such ABL Priority Collateral Processing and Sale
Period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees in writing (for the benefit of the
ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties) to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.3
and Section 4.1. If any stay or other order prohibiting the exercise of remedies with respect to
the ABL Priority Collateral has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such ABL
Priority Collateral Processing and Sale Period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay
or other order.
(ii) During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by the ABL Secured Parties
and/or the ABL Collateral Agent (or their respective employees, agents, advisers and
representatives) of any TL Priority Collateral, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Collateral
Agent shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage to such TL Priority
Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such TL Priority Collateral
in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or
control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL
Secured Parties or the ABL Collateral Agent have any liability to the Term Secured Parties and/or
to the Term Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.3(a) as a result of any condition
(including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the TL Priority
Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Secured Parties (or the ABL
Collateral Agent, as the case may be) of their rights under this Section 4.3(a) and the ABL Secured
Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the TL Priority Collateral in a condition or
manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Secured
Parties, or for any diminution in the value of the TL Priority Collateral that results from
ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the TL Priority Collateral by the ABL Secured
Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 4.3(a). Without
limiting the rights granted in this Section 4.3(a), the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Collateral
Agent shall cooperate with the Term Secured Parties and/or the Term Collateral Agent in connection
with any efforts made by the Term Secured Parties and/or the Term Collateral Agent to sell the TL
Priority Collateral.
(b) the Term Collateral Agent shall be entitled, as a condition of permitting such access and
use, to demand and receive assurances reasonably satisfactory to it that the access or use
requested and all activities incidental thereto:
(i) will be permitted, lawful and enforceable under applicable law and will be
conducted in accordance with prudent manufacturing practices; and
(ii) will be adequately insured for damage to property and liability to persons,
including property and liability insurance for the benefit of the Term Collateral Agent and
the holders of the Term Obligations, at no cost to the Term Collateral Agent or such
holders.
The Term Collateral Agent (x) shall provide reasonable cooperation to the ABL Collateral Agent in
connection with the manufacture, production, completion, handling, removal and sale of any ABL
Priority Collateral by the ABL Collateral Agent as provided above and (y) shall be entitled
-79-
to receive, from the ABL Collateral Agent, fair compensation and reimbursement for their reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation, support and assistance to the ABL
Collateral Agent. The Term Collateral Agent and/or any such purchaser (or its transferee or
successor) shall not otherwise be required to manufacture, produce, complete, remove, insure,
protect, store, safeguard, sell or deliver any inventory subject to any First Priority Lien held by
the ABL Collateral Agent or to provide any support, assistance or cooperation to the ABL Collateral
Agent in respect thereof.
4.4. Term Collateral Agent Assurances. The Term Collateral Agent may condition its
performance of any obligation set forth in this Article 4 upon its prior receipt (without cost to
it) of:
(a) such assurances as it may reasonably request to confirm that the performance of
such obligation and all activities of the ABL Collateral Agent or its officers, employees
and agents in connection therewith or incidental thereto:
(i) will be permitted, lawful and enforceable under applicable law; and
(ii) will not impose upon the Term Collateral Agent (or any Term Secured Party)
any legal duty, legal liability or risk of uninsured loss; and
(b) such indemnity or insurance as the Term Collateral Agent may reasonably request in
connection therewith.
4.5. Grantor Consent. The Company and the other Grantors consent to the performance
by the Term Collateral Agent of the obligations set forth in this Article 4 and acknowledge and
agree that neither the Term Collateral Agent (nor any holder of Term Obligations) shall ever be
accountable or liable for any action taken or omitted by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL
Secured Party or its or any of their officers, employees, agents successors or assigns in
connection therewith or incidental thereto or in consequence thereof, including any improper use or
disclosure of any proprietary information or other intellectual property by the ABL Collateral
Agent or any ABL Secured Party or its or any of their officers, employees, agents, successors or
assigns or any other damage to or misuse or loss of any property of the Grantors as a result of any
action taken or omitted by the ABL Collateral Agent or its officers, employees, agents, successors

the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties, in its or their sole discretion,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party
hereto, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and such informing party shall not
make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy,
completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (x) to provide any
additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to
undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or

parties hereto, the Term Secured Parties, the ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Secured Parties and
their respective successors and assigns.

parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection
herewith by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement or such other document or instrument, as applicable.
6.13. Authorization; No Conflict. Each of the parties represents and warrants to all
other parties hereto that the execution, delivery and performance by or on behalf of such party to

-87-
6.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof
shall inure to the benefit of the Term Secured Parties, the ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Secured
Parties and each of their respective successors and assigns. No other Person shall have or be

6.15. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining
the relative rights of the Term Secured Parties, the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Secured
Parties. None of the Company, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any
rights hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the
Company or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Term Obligations,
the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve the Company or any Grantor from the performance of
any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Company’s or such Grantor’s part to be performed
or observed under or in respect of any of the Collateral pledged by it or from any liability to any
Person under or in respect of any of such Collateral or impose any obligation on any Collateral
Agent to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Company’s or
such Grantor’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on any Collateral Agent
for any act or omission on the part of the Company’s or such any Grantor relative thereto or for
any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Company or such Grantor contained
in this Agreement or any ABL Document or any Term Document or any Notes Document, or in respect of
the Collateral pledged by it. The obligations of the Company and each Grantor contained in this
paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Company’s or
such Grantor’s other obligations hereunder.
(c) Each of the Collateral Agents and the Administrative Agents acknowledge and agree that
neither has made any representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality,
completeness, collectability or enforceability of any other ABL Document, any Term Document or any
Notes Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Collateral Agents and
the Administrative Agents will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective extensions of
credit to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with law and their usual practices,
modified from time to time as they deem appropriate.
6.16. Additional Grantors. The Company will cause each Person that becomes a Grantor
or is a Domestic Subsidiary required by any Term Document, ABL Document or Notes Document to become
a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement,
by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the parties hereto an Intercreditor Agreement
Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had
executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. The Company shall promptly provide
each Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent with a copy of each Intercreditor Agreement
Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 6.16.
-88-
6.17. Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Notes Secured
Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or
otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”),
then such ABL Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Notes Secured Party, as applicable, shall be
entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or Notes Obligations, as
applicable, with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been
terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and
such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the
obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.
6.18. Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement is the Intercreditor Agreement referred
to in the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Credit Agreement and the Indentures. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to subordinate the right of any ABL Secured Party to receive payment to
the right of any Term Secured Party to receive payment or of any Term Secured Party to receive
payment to the right of any ABL Secured Party to receive payment or the right of any Notes Secured
Party to receive payment to the right of any Term Secured Party or ABL Secured Party to receive
payment (whether before or after the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), it
being the intent of the parties that this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens but
not a subordination of Indebtedness.
6.19. Foreign Collateral. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the
Bermuda Term Borrower and various Foreign Subsidiaries of the Company and/or the Bermuda Term
Borrower have granted security interests in certain of their property, securing their Term
Obligations, and that as of the date of this Agreement, no such security interests have been
provided by the Bermuda Term Borrower or any other Foreign Subsidiary to secure any ABL Obligations
or Notes Obligations. It is understood and agreed by all parties hereto that this Agreement does
not apply to any security interests granted by the Bermuda Term Borrower or any other Foreign
Subsidiary, and that any assets or property pledged by the Bermuda Term Borrower or any other
Foreign Subsidiary to secure (or which are subject to a Lien to secure) any Term Obligations or ABL
Obligations or Notes Obligations shall not be subject to the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
Neither the Bermuda Term Borrower nor any Foreign Subsidiary shall constitute a Grantor hereunder
or be bound by the provisions hereof.
6.20. Cash Collateral (Term Credit Agreement). The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that, all cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement as in effect on
the date hereof, after giving effect to the Restatement Effective Date as defined therein) actually
delivered to the Term Administrative Agent or Term Collateral Agent pursuant to Sections 2B.07
and/or 4.02(a) of the Term Credit Agreement, but in each case only to the extent of the aggregate
stated amounts and/or face amounts of letters of credit and bank guaranties (calculated in
accordance with the Term Credit Agreement) exceed the sum of (x) the relevant commitments
thereunder plus (y) any required cushion or over-collateralization thereof, then such cash and Cash
Equivalents may be held as collateral as provided in the Term Credit Agreement and shall constitute
TL Priority Collateral rather than ABL Priority Collateral.
6.21. Credit-Linked Deposits. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Credit-Linked Deposits (as defined
in the Term Credit Agreement) shall remain property of the respective Term Lenders as
-89-
provided in the Term Credit Agreement and shall not constitute Collateral hereunder;
provided, that, without limiting the foregoing, if, notwithstanding the foregoing, such
Credit Linked Deposits (or any portion thereof) are deemed to be Collateral (whether as a matter of
applicable law or otherwise) then such Credit-Linked Deposits or the applicable portion thereof, as
the case may be, shall be deemed to constitute TL Priority Collateral, rather than ABL Priority
Collateral, for all purposes hereunder.

III. Limitations of the Guaranty granted by the German Guarantors
a) The restrictions in this Clause III 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 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (cross-stream)
(excluding, for clarification purposes any direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Guarantor).
Exhibit B-3
Page 3
b) The restrictions in this Clause III. 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 for the benefit of any of the creditors of the German
Guarantor or the German Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or any other benefit granted under this Agreement.
1. Restrictions on Payment
a) The parties to this Agreement agree that if payment under the Guarantee would cause the
amount of a German Guarantor’s net assets, as calculated pursuant to Clause III.2 (Net Assets)
below, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital) or increase an
existing shortage of its registered share capital in each case in violation of section 30 of the
German Limited Liability Companies Act (“GmbHG”), (such event is hereinafter referred to as a
“Capital Impairment”), then the Secured Creditors shall, subject to paragraphs b) to c) below,
demand payment under the Guarantee from such German Guarantor only to the extent such Capital
Impairment would not occur.
b) If the relevant German Guarantor does not notify the Collateral Agent in writing (the
“Management Notification”) within five (5) Business Days after the Collateral 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 and
providing prima facie evidence that a realisation or other measures undertaken in accordance with
the mitigation provisions set out in Clause III.3 (Mitigation) below would not prevent such Capital
Impairment), 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
Clause III.4 (Auditors’ Determination) below) within sixty (60) Business Days from the date on
which the Collateral Agent received the Management Notification then the restrictions set out in
paragraph a) above shall not apply and the Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to assign or make
available to the German Guarantor any net proceeds realised.
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 Company Code (“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 :
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
Exhibit B-3
Page 4
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent shall be deducted
from the amount of the registered share capital of the relevant German Guarantor;
b) any funds borrowed by any Borrower under this Agreement which have been or are on-lent or
otherwise passed on to the relevant German Guarantor or to any Subsidiary of such German Guarantor
and have not yet been repaid at the time when payment under the Guarantee is demanded, shall be
disregarded;
c) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the relevant German Guarantor in breach
of the Transaction Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.
3. Mitigation
a) The relevant German Guarantor shall realise, to the extent legally permitted 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.
b) The limitations on demanding payment under this Guarantee set out in this Clause III shall
not apply if and to the extent that the relevant German Guarantor is legally permitted to take
measures (including, without limitation, setting-off claims) to avoid demanding payment under the
Guarantee causing a Capital Impairment of the relevant German Guarantor provided that it is
commercially justifiable to take such measures.
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 recognised 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 Clause III.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
Clause III.6 (No waiver) below, such Auditors’ Determination shall be binding on the relevant
German Guarantor and the Collateral 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 Clause III.3 (Mitigation) above shall continue to exist.
5. Improvement of Financial Condition
Exhibit B-3
Page 5
If, after it has been provided with an Auditors’ Determination which prevented it from
demanding any or only partial payment under this Guarantee, the Collateral Agent ascertains in good
faith 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 Clause III.3 (Mitigation)
above), the Collateral 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 Clause III.4 (Auditors’
Determination) above in order for such Auditors to determine whether (and, if so, to what extent)
the Capital Impairment has been cured as a result of the improvement of the financial condition of
the relevant German Guarantor. The Collateral Agent may demand payment under this Guarantee to the
extent that the Auditors determine that the Capital Impairment has been cured.
6. No waiver
Nothing in this Clause III shall limit the enforceability, legality or validity of this
Guarantee nor shall it prevent the Collateral Agent from claiming in court that the provision of
this Guarantee by and/or demanding payment under this Guarantee against the relevant German
Guarantor does not fall within the scope of section 30 of the GmbHG. The Collateral Agent’s rights
to any remedies it may have against the relevant German Guarantor shall not be limited if it is
ascertained that section 30 of the GmbHG did not apply. The agreement of the Collateral Agent to
abstain from demanding any or part of the payment under this Guarantee in accordance with the
provisions above shall not constitute a waiver (Verzicht) of any right granted under this Agreement
or any other Credit Document to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor.
7. 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.
IV. Miscellaneous.
1. (a) THIS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this

not to plead or claim before any authority or court, including the courts of its state of
incorporation or formation, that any judgment issued by the courts referred to in clause (a) above
