(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the US Borrower or, in the case of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, the European Borrower, delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. at least two Business Days (or such later date or time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the Revolving Credit Facility under which such Letter of Credit is to be issued and the amount and currency thereof (which shall be (x) in the case of Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit, Dollars or an Alternative Currency and (y) in the case of US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit, Dollars); (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended and under which Revolving Credit Facility such Letter of Credit was issued; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the applicable Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of (i) each Multicurrency RCF Letter of Credit, each Multicurrency RCF Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Multicurrency RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit and (ii) each US Dollar RCF Letter of Credit, each US Dollar RCF Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such US Dollar RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as the case may be, so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a date (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that (x) in the case of an extension of Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit, the Required Multicurrency Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension and (y) in the case of an extension of US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit, the Required US Dollar Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility or the applicable Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 or 4.04, as applicable, is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings, Payments, Disbursements and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit under of any notice of a drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Multicurrency RCF Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Multicurrency RCF Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Multicurrency RCF Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage, as the case may be, thereof. In such event, the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to have requested a Multicurrency RCF Borrowing or US Dollar RCF Borrowing, as the case may be (which, in the case of the US Borrower, shall consist of Base Rate Loans) to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Multicurrency RCF Commitments or US Dollar RCF Commitments, as the case may be, and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each such Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Multicurrency RCF Borrowing or US Dollar RCF Borrowing, as applicable, of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer a Multicurrency RCF L/C Borrowing or an US Dollar RCF L/C Borrowing, as applicable in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing, as the case may be, shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Multicurrency RCF Lender’s or US Dollar RCF Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Multicurrency RCF Borrowing or US Dollar RCF Borrowing, as the case may be, and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Multicurrency RCF Loan or US Dollar RCF Loan, as applicable, or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Multicurrency RCF Lender’s or US Dollar RCF Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn, paid or disbursed, as applicable, under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than delivery by the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender under (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03(c), in no event shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent in respect of any drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, of a Letter of Credit subsequent to the Maturity Date for the applicable Revolving Credit Facility.

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, or any their respective Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to either Borrowers or any other Subsidiary of the Parent or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

The US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the applicable Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, agree that, in paying any drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Multicurrency RCF Lenders, US Dollar RCF Lenders, the Required Multicurrency Revolving Lenders or the Required US Dollar Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude either Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the applicable Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, request under any Letter of Credit for the account of the US Borrower or the European Borrower and such drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of its respective L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender) with respect to the L/C Obligations issued from its own account. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of cash collateral, request that additional cash collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver cash collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means, in the case of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, solely as collateral for the L/C Obligations issued for the account of the respective Borrower, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders with respect to the L/C Obligations issued for the account of such Borrower, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing pledged and deposited by such Borrower. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Deutsche Bank. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as cash collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations issued for the account of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, the applicable Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as cash collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as cash collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, under any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as cash collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer. In no event shall any Cash Collateral pledged or deposited by the European Borrower serve as security or collateral for any L/C Obligation issued for the account of the US Borrower or any borrowing by the US Borrower under any Letter of Credit.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The US Borrower and the European Borrower, as applicable, shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender under a Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit issued under such Revolving Credit Facility equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans in respect of the Revolving Credit Facilities times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn or that may be requested to be paid or disbursed, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender under a Revolving Credit Facility with respect to any Letter of Credit issued under such Revolving Credit Facility as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders under such Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and (v), with the balance of such fees, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn or that may be requested to be paid or disbursed, as applicable, under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn or that may be requested to be paid or disbursed, as applicable, under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans in respect of the Revolving Credit Facilities separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Fees in respect of any Extended US Dollar RCF Commitment or Multicurrency RCF Commitment, as applicable, shall be the rate set forth in the relevant Extension Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) upon the request of the Required Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees for Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit shall accrue at the Default Rate and (ii) upon the request of the Required US Dollar Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees for US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer, for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the applicable Borrower and the L/C Issuer, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the applicable Borrower and the L/C Issuer, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn or that may be requested to be paid or disbursed, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears, and (iv) with respect to each Bank Guarantee issued by the L/C Issuer, a fronting fee whose amount, computation and payment requirements shall be separately agreed between the applicable Borrower and the L/C Issuer,. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn or that may be requested to be paid or disbursed, as applicable, under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the fronting fee described in this clause (j) applicable to a BOA Existing Letter of Credit shall accrue from the later of (x) January 1, 2012 and (y) the date of issuance of such BOA Existing Letter of Credit under the Existing Parent Credit Agreement.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings, payments and disbursements, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit and such Letter of Credit shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to have been issued for the account of such Borrower. Each of the US Borrower and the European Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, and that the US Borrower’s or the European Borrower’s, as applicable, business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.04. Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender may in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, (x) pursuant to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, make loans in Dollars, Sterling or Euros to the US Borrower or to the European Borrower (each such loan, a “Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loan”) from time to time or (y) pursuant to the US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, make loans in Dollars to the US Borrower (each such loan, a “US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day on or after the Acquisition Funding Date and during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that (x) such Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Multicurrency RCF Loans and Multicurrency RCF L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Multicurrency RCF Commitment and (y) such US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of US Dollar RCF Loans and US Dollar RCF L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s US Dollar RCF Commitment; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Multicurrency RCF Outstandings shall not exceed the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility at such time, (ii) the Total US Dollar RCF Outstandings shall not exceed the US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility at such time, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Multicurrency RCF Loans of any Multicurrency RCF Lender at such time, plus such Multicurrency RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Multicurrency RCF L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Multicurrency RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Multicurrency RCF Commitment and (iv) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the US Dollar RCF Loans of any US Dollar RCF Lender at such time, plus such US Dollar RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all US Dollar RCF L/C Obligations at such time, plus such US Dollar RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s US Dollar RCF Commitment; and provided, further, that neither Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the US Borrower and the European Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan (other than an Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan) to the US Borrower shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate, and each Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan shall only bear interest as provided in Section 2.08. Immediately upon the making of a (i) Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loan, each Multicurrency RCF Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Multicurrency RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loan and (ii) US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loan, each US Dollar RCF Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such US Dollar RCF Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent by delivery of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. on the requested borrowing date (or, in the case of any Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan, not later than 1:00 P.M. (London time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the requested borrowing date), and shall specify (i) the applicable Revolving Credit Facility and the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, €100,000 or £100,000, as applicable, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such Swing Line Loan Notice must be in writing and transmitted via facsimile to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 P.M. (or, in the case of any Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan, at such time as may be specified by the Administrative Agent to the US Borrower or European Borrower, as applicable) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 P.M. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, at its office by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender under a Revolving Credit Facility make a Base Rate Loan under such Revolving Credit Facility (or, in the case of Alternative Currency Swing Line Loans, a Multicurrency RCF Loan in an Alternative Currency that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans under such Revolving Credit Facility then outstanding, as applicable. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans (or, if applicable, Eurocurrency Rate Loans), but subject to the unutilized portion of such Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each (x) Multicurrency RCF Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments (or, in the case of Alternative Currency Swing Line Loans, the Administrative Agent’s Office designated by it for Alternative Currency-denominated payments) and (y) each US Dollar RCF Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments, not later than 1:00 P.M. (or, in the case of any Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan, at such time as may be specified by the Administrative Agent to the US Borrower or European Borrower) on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the US Borrower (in the case of a Swing Line Loan made in Dollars to the US Borrower) or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to the US Borrower or the European Borrower (in the case of an Alternative Currency Swing Line Loan to either the US Borrower or European Borrower), as applicable, in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan under a Revolving Credit Facility cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing under such Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders under such Revolving Credit Facility fund its risk participation in such Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan under a Revolving Credit Facility is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the US Borrower and the European Borrower, as applicable, for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender under its Base Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage of such Swing Line Loan shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The US Borrower and the European Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05. Prepayments. (a) Optional. (i) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.05(a)(i), each Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in clause (D) of the proviso hereto); provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (1) on the date that is three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (2) on the date that is four Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (3) on the date that is one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars), €1,000,000 or a whole multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of Loans denominated in Euros) or £1,000,000 or a whole multiple of £500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of Loans denominated in Sterling) or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (D) any prepayment of Term B Loans made on or prior to the one year anniversary date of the ClosingAcquisition Funding Date in connection with a Repricing Event shall be accompanied by the payment of the fee described in Section 2.09(b)(iii). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) (and currency) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied (subject to Section 2.05(b)(vii)) to the Term Loans of such Borrower as it shall elect and shall apply to reduce future scheduled amortization payments, as directed by the US Borrower (or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity). Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.

(ii) Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans of such Borrower in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000, €100,000 or £100,000, as applicable (or such lesser amount as equals the entire principal amount outstanding on such date). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and which Swing Line Loans are being prepaid. If such notice is given by either Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(b) Mandatory. Subject to Section 2.07(fg), (i) if any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries disposes of any property (other than (x) any Disposition of any property permitted by Section 7.05 (other than clause (d) and (f) thereof) and (y) any Asbestos Insurance Settlement so long as such proceeds are used or committed to be used to reimburse Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or make payments in respect of related claims against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and defense costs related thereto) that results in the realization by the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds in the aggregate for all such dispositions in excess of $50,000,000 in any Fiscal Year (excluding any portion thereof that is reinvested as provided below), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (to the extent in excess of $50,000,000 in such Fiscal Year) within three Business Days of receipt thereof by such Person (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below); provided, however, that, with respect to any such Net Cash Proceeds realized, at the election of either the US Borrower or the European Borrower (as notified by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such disposition), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in operating assets so long as, within 12 months after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, such purchase shall have been consummated (or, if the Parent or its Subsidiaries have entered into binding contractual commitments for reinvestment within such 12-month period, not so reinvested within 18 months following the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds); and provided further, however, that any such Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be immediately subject to prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(i).

(ii) Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Debt (other than Debt expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.02), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

(iii) Upon any Extraordinary Receipt (other than proceeds of any Asbestos Insurance Settlement or Asbestos Judgment, so long as such proceeds are used or committed to be used to reimburse Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or make payments in respect of related claims against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and defense costs related thereto, as applicable) received by or paid to or for the account of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in clause (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.05(b), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom within three Business Days of receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

(iv) Upon the delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 6.17(b) and the related Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.17(b)(v) (other than in respect of the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2011), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the Fiscal Year covered by such financial statements over (B) the same of (x) aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) and (y), to the extent accompanied by a voluntary reduction to the total aggregate amount of Multicurrency RCF Commitments and/or US Dollar RCF Commitments in an amount equal to such prepayment, Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a), in each case, with internally generated funds (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

(v) Upon the expiry of the Certain Funds Period, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of (I) any amounts held in the Overadvance Account at such time and (II) any amount in excess thereof which constitutes proceeds of the Term Facilities which have not been used for Certain Funds Purposes (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

(vi) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied (subject to Section 2.05(b)(vii)) ratably to each of the Term A-1 Facility, the Term A-2 Facility, the Term A-3 Facility and the Term B Facility and to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro-rata basis.

(vii) The US Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any optional or mandatory repayment of Term B Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such repayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such repayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such repayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term B Loans of the contents of the US Borrower’s repayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of any repayment. Each such Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any voluntary or mandatory repayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term B Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or 2.05(b) respectively, by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower no later than 5:00 P.M. on the Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such repayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the voluntary or mandatory repayment, as the case may be, of Term B Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver such Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term B Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such voluntary or mandatory repayment, as the case may be, of Term B Loans to which such Lender is otherwise entitled. Any Declined Proceeds of a mandatory prepayment of Term B Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.05(b) shall be (i) applied ratably to each of the Term A-1 Facility, the Term A-2 Facility and the Term A-23 Facility and to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro-rata basis or (ii) to the extent there are no Term A-1 Loans, Term A-2 Loans or Term A-23 Loans outstanding at such time, retained by the US Borrower. Any Declined Proceeds of voluntary prepayments of Term B Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) shall be retained by the US Borrower. Notwithstanding the above, this clause (vii) shall not apply in respect of any voluntary prepayment if (A) all Term A-1 Loans, Term A-2 Loans and Term A-23 Loans have been repaid in full or (B) all Term B Loans are being repaid with such voluntary or mandatory prepayment.

(viii) The US Borrower or the European Borrower shall, on any Revaluation Date, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Multicurrency RCF Loans comprising part of the same Multicurrency RCF Borrowings, the L/C Advances and the Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans and deposit an amount in the L/C Collateral Account, in a manner determined by the Borrowers, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Dollar Equivalent (which shall be advised by the Administrative Agent from time to time as requested by the Borrowers) of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (x) the Multicurrency RCF Loans, (y) the Multicurrency RCF L/C Advances and (z) the Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans then outstanding plus the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Available Amount of all Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility on the date of such determination; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, such determination and payment shall be made by the applicable Borrower on each Business Day; and provided further, that if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers at any time that the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Amount of all Multicurrency RCF Loans and Multicurrency RCF L/C Obligations at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency RCF Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Multicurrency RCF Loans comprising part of the same Borrowings, the Multicurrency RCF L/C Advances and the Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans and deposit an amount in the L/C Collateral Account, in a manner determined by the Borrowers, in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency RCF Commitments then in effect

(ix) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b) and subject to Section 2.07(fg), (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (each such Disposition a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Extraordinary Receipt incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary (each such Extraordinary Receipt a “Foreign Extraordinary Receipt”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary from being repatriated to a Borrower to repay the Term Loans of such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay such Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.05(b)(i), (iii) or (iv) as applicable, but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary will not permit repatriation to such Borrower (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions on repatriation and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment and/or use the other cash and Cash Equivalents of Parent and its Subsidiaries to make the relevant prepayment), and if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof and additional costs relating to such repatriation) to the repayment of such applicable Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05 or (ii) to the extent that the applicable Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation to a Borrower to repay the Term Loans of such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Extraordinary Receipt or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have adverse tax consequences (including any reduction in tax attributes) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay such Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.05(b)(i), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable adverse tax consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow remain (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any adverse tax consequences and/or use the other cash and Cash Equivalents of Parent and its Subsidiaries to make the relevant prepayment), and if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have adverse tax consequences, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof and additional costs relating to such repatriation) to the repayment of such Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05.

2.09. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j):

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Multicurrency RCF Lender xxxxx US Dollar RCF Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Fee Rate times the actual daily amount by which (A) in the case of a Multicurrency RCF Lender, the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Multicurrency RCF Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of Multicurrency RCF L/C Obligations and (B) in the case of a US Dollar RCF Lender, the US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of US Dollar RCF Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of US Dollar RCF L/C Obligations, as applicable. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period for the respective Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Fee Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commitment fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall be the rate set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.

(b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, for their own respective accounts, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(iii) At the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Event that is consummated on or prior to the first anniversary of the ClosingAcquisition Funding Date, the US Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with Term B Loans that are either repaid, converted or subjected to a pricing reduction in connection with such Repricing Event, a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of (x) in the case of a Repricing Event described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans prepaid or converted in connection with such Repricing Event and (y) in the case of a Repricing Event described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans outstanding on such date that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such Repricing Event. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Event.

2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Deutsche Bank’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Parent or for any other reason, Parent or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by Parent as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, each Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period by such Borrower over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period by such Borrower. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.11. Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of each Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to either Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, either Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 P.M., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by either Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be obliged to distribute to any Lender any amount in excess of payments actually received from applicable Borrower.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02(b) (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02(b)) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing (and, to the extent that such amount has been previously remitted to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, such amount shall be paid to such Borrower). Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or either Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to either Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to payment of that portion of such Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts then due to such parties, (ii) second, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder that are not otherwise included under clause (i) above, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

2.13. Sharing of Payments by Lenders. Subject to Section 10.09, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim, receipt of proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be; provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by either Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and pursuant to the terms of Section 2.17) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to either Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower and each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower or Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower or Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.14. Incremental Facilities.

provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of Incremental Term A Facilities shall not exceed $250,000,000 (ii) in no event shall any Incremental Facility be in a principal amount of less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent);

(ix) if the Effective Yield in respect of any Incremental Facility exceeds the Effective Yield of the Term B Facility by more than 0.50% (the amount of such excess being the “Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Rate with respect to the Term B Facility shall be automatically increased, effective on the Increase Date, by the Yield Differential (x) the Effective Yield in respect of any Incremental Term A Facility shall not exceed the Effective Yield of the Term A Loan Facility immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term A Facility; (xi) such Incremental Facility is a new Facility (i.e., not on the same terms as any existing Facility) unless the requirements of Section 2.14(e) are satisfied, provided that the Collateral for any such new Facility (and priority thereof) shall be the same as that applicable to the existing Facilities provided by the relevant Borrower(s) unless approved by the Required Lenders; (xii) all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility shall have been paid; (xiii) such Incremental Facility shall be treated substantially the same as the existing Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments, provided that, with respect to Incremental Term Facilities, (I) the maturity date may differ as provided in clause (vi) or (vii) above, (II) the interest rate may differ as provided in clause (ix) above and (III) the other terms of a Incremental Facility may differ if reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (xiv) such Incremental Facility shall benefit ratably from the Guaranty and from the Collateral Documents (other than the Overadvance Account Escrow Agreement);

(b) If the Administrative Agent approves the terms of the Incremental Facility (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such terms are otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the applicable Borrower for Incremental Commitments, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount and other material terms of the Incremental Facility, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Incremental Facility must commit to an Incremental Commitment (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in the requested Incremental Facility (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount it is willing to commit to the Incremental Facility. If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to participate in an Incremental Facility by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Incremental Commitments, the requested Incremental Commitments shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Promptly following the applicable Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Incremental Facility. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Incremental Facility on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Incremental Commitments, then the US Borrower or the European Borrower, as applicable, may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Incremental Facility that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount equal to at least $1,000,000 (or the remaining portion of such Incremental Commitments if less than $1,000,000).

(d) On the applicable Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Incremental Facility in accordance with Section 2.14(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of the applicable Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such Incremental Facility shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.14(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before the Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Boards of Directors (or corresponding body) of the applicable Borrower and each Guarantor approving the Incremental Facility and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Loan Parties, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent, the US Borrower and, if applicable, the European Borrower; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to Parent and the Administrative Agent.

On the applicable Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.14(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and Parent, at or before 11:00 A.M., by electronic mail, telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Incremental Facility to be effected on the related Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, each Incremental Facility shall constitute a new Facility, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Facilities pursuant to this Agreement, provided that an Incremental Facility may constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Facility, so long as:

(i) the advances made under any such Incremental Term Facility shall have the same final maturity date and same weighted average life to maturity as the existing Facility to which such new Incremental Facility is being added, and shall bear interest at the same rates applicable to such Facility;

(ii) any such Revolving Incremental Facility shall have the same final maturity date and mandatory commitment reduction provisions as the existing Facility to which such new Revolving Incremental Facility is being added, and shall bear interest at the same rates applicable to such Facility;

(iii) any such new Incremental Facility shall have the same scheduled repayment dates as then remain with respect to the existing Facility to which such new Incremental Facility is being added, with the amount of each scheduled repayment installment of such new Incremental Term Facility to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the existing Facility to which such new Incremental Facility is being added; and

(iv) on the date of the making of advances under any such new Incremental Facility, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.07, the aggregate principal amount of such new advances shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding advances of the respective Facility on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing under the respective Facility, and so that the existing Lenders with respect to such Facility continue to have the same participation (by amount) in each Borrowing as they had before the making of the new advances under such Facility.

(f) To the extent the provisions of the preceding clause (e) (iv) require that Lenders making new advances under an Incremental Facility, add the aggregate principal amount of such new advances to the then outstanding Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new advances having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that will began during an Interest Period then applicable to the outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, the applicable Borrower may agree to compensate the Lenders making the advances under the new Incremental Facility for funding Eurocurrency Rate Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed between such Borrower and the respective Lender or Lenders.

2.15. German Civil Code Release. Each Loan Party hereby releases any and all Persons acting on its behalf pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) (restriction of self-dealing).

2.16. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loan, US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loan, Multicurrency RCF Letter of Credit or US Dollar RCF Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 or Section 4.04, as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(i).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. (a) During any period in which there is a Multicurrency RCF Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans and Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04 the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a Multicurrency RCF Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Multicurrency RCF Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date of the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, and (B) the aggregate obligation that exists or may arise of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a Multicurrency RCF Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit and Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans plus, without duplication, the aggregate amount of any participation in Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit and Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans funded which have not been repaid or refinanced shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Multicurrency RCF Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Multicurrency RCF Loans of that Lender.

(b) During any period in which there is a US Dollar RCF Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans and US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04 the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a US Dollar RCF Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the US Dollar RCF Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date of the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, and (B) the aggregate obligation that exists or may arise of each non-Defaulting Lender that is a US Dollar RCF Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit and US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans plus, without duplication, the aggregate amount of any participation in US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit and US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans funded which have not been repaid or refinanced shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the US Dollar RCF Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the US Dollar RCF Loans of that Lender

(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, so long as (x) any Multicurrency RCF Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loan unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Multicurrency RCF Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral has been provided by the Borrower in accordance with 2.03(g), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly made Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among Multicurrency RCF Lenders that are non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(a)(iv) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein) and (b) any US Dollar RCF Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loan unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the US Dollar RCF Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral has been provided by the Borrower in accordance with 2.03(g), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly made US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among US Dollar RCF Lenders that are non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(a)(iv) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

2.17. Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the latest to occur of (x) the Closing Date and (y) Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter), conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase the Term Loans of such Borrower (each, an “Auction” and each such Auction to be managed exclusively by an investment bank of recognized standing selected by the US Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.17 and such other procedures, terms and conditions to be mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Borrower;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Auction;

(iii) the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that such Borrower offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(iv) the Minimum Liquidity exceeds $100,000,000 and immediately after giving effect to the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction;

(v) both before and after giving effect to such respective purchase of Term Loans, Parent shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.18;

(vi) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by such Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by such Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(vii) no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time for each Tranche of Term Loans;

(viii) no more than four Auctions may be effected in any twelve month period (unless a higher number is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(ix) each Auction shall be open and offered to all Lenders of the relevant Tranche on a pro rata basis;

(x) such Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Auction, no Loan Party shall have any MNPI that both (A) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than because such Lender does not wish to receive such MNPI) prior to such time and (B) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to participate in the Auction; and

(xi) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, such Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate of an Responsible Officer of Parent certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (ii), (iv), (v) and (x) (and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) required by preceding clauses (iv) and (v)).

(b) The applicable Borrower under an Auction must terminate such Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction. If a Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement such Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then such Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, (x) such Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to, but not including (if paid prior to 12:00 Noon the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by such Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, the definition of “Excess Cash Flow”, Sections 2.05 and Section 2.13) (although the par principal amount of Term Loans of the respective Tranche so purchased pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be applied to reduce the remaining scheduled repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.07(c) of the applicable Lenders being repaid on a pro rata basis).

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.13 and 11.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by a Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.17 shall not constitute Investments by such Borrower)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17 or result in a Default or an Event of Default as a result of the Auction or purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article IX and Section 11.04 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

2.18. Extension of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.18, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by Parent to all Lenders of a Tranche of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date or Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments with a like Maturity Date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Tranche of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date or Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments with a like Maturity Date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, Parent is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time following the initial Extension of Credit on or after the Closing Date transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the Maturity Date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Tranche of Term Loans and/or Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Tranche of Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans)) (each, an “Extension”, any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Tranche of Term Loans from the Tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders;

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity, the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) (except for covenants or other provisions contained herein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date then in effect); provided that (x) (I) subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(fg), to the extent dealing with Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans which mature after the Initial Multicurrency RCF Maturity Date, all Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Multicurrency RCF Lenders with Multicurrency RCF Commitments in accordance with their Applicable Percentage (and, except as provided in Section 2.01(fg), without giving effect to changes thereto on the Initial Multicurrency RCF Maturity Date, with respect to Swing Line Loans theretofore incurred), (II) subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(gh), to the extent dealing with Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit which expire after the Initial Multicurrency RCF Maturity Date, all Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Multicurrency RCF Lenders with Multicurrency RCF Commitments in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (and, except as provided in Section 2.01(gh), without giving effect to changes thereto on the Initial Multicurrency RCF Maturity Date, with respect to the Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (III) subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(hi), to the extent dealing with US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans which mature after the Initial US Dollar RCF Maturity Date, all US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all US Dollar RCF Lenders with US Dollar RCF Commitments in accordance with their Applicable Percentage (and, except as provided in Section 2.01(hi), without giving effect to changes thereto on the Initial US Dollar RCF Maturity Date, with respect to US Dollar Swing Line Loans theretofore incurred) and (IV) subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(ij), to the extent dealing with US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit which expire after the Initial US Dollar RCF Maturity Date, all US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all US Dollar RCF Lenders with US Dollar RCF Commitments in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (and, except as provided in Section 2.01(ij), without giving effect to changes thereto on the Initial US Dollar RCF Maturity Date, with respect to the US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), and all borrowings and commitment reductions under Revolving Credit Commitments of the respective Tranche and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the applicable Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than six different Maturity Dates;

(iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by Parent and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained herein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date then in effect);

(iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Maturity Date then in effect (other than the Maturity Date specified in any other Extension Offer with respect to any other Tranche of Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.18) and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(a), (b) and (c), as the case may be, for periods prior to the respective Maturity Date may not be increased;

(v) the weighted average life to maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer;

(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Tranche, as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Tranche, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by Parent pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer;

(viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by Parent generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(ix) the applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied;

(x) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent; and

(xi) the Extension shall not become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of the Extension, (x) Parent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an authorized officer of each applicable Loan Party dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Extension and (y) the conditions set forth in Sections 4.03(a) and (b) shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to any Credit Extension being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of the Extension) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by an authorized officer of Parent certifying as to the satisfaction of such conditions. In connection with each Extension Offer, each relevant Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall determine whether it wishes to participate in the respective Extension contemplated by such Extension Offer. Any relevant Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer within the time period contemplated by the applicable Extension Offer shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Offer. The election of any relevant Lender to agree to an Extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.18, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05(a), 2.05(b), 2.13 or 11.08 and (ii) no Tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.18 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (but otherwise subject to Section 11.01(a)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.18, provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of an Extension Offer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 11.01) to the contrary, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with Parent (and the other applicable Loan Parties) as (and to the extent) may be necessary in order establish new Tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such other amendments as may be necessary in connection therewith, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.18.

(d) In connection with any Extension, Parent shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 15 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.18.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the respective Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require either Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If either Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) either Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) either Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes with respect to Obligations of such Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within seven Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, with respect to Obligations of such Borrower, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within seven Business Days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection with respect to Obligations of such Borrower. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within seven Business Days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority (A) as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e) or (B) attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer’s failure to comply with provisions of 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable, after any payment of Taxes by either Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. The relevant Borrower and the relevant Lender (at the reasonable written request of the relevant Borrower) shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities relating thereto. In particular, each Treaty Lender shall within the applicable time limits under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction complete, file and/or provide any tax certificate, treaty application or other document as may be reasonably requested by the relevant Borrower in writing in order for the Borrower to be able to make payments without a Tax Deduction. Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect as a result of changes in circumstances with respect to such Lender, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentences of this Section 3.01(e), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the US Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding;

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code (the “portfolio interest exemption”), (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit R-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10-percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(V) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner or is classified as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit R-2 or Exhibit R-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is classified as a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit R-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner:

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and;

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that such Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender

(iv) Without limiting the generality of Section 3.01(e)(i), each Lender which becomes a Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender after the date of this Agreement shall indicate in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender and which of the following categories it falls in: (A) not a Qualifying Lender; (B) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or (C) a Treaty Lender.

(v) Nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall require a Treaty Lender to:

(A) register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme;

(B) apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any Loan if it has so registered; or

(C) file treaty forms if it has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with clause (vi) below or Section 3.01(h) (HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme confirmation) and the UK Borrower making that payment has not complied with its obligations under Section 3.01(e)(vii) and Section 3.01(h)(ii) below (HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme confirmation).

(vi) A Treaty Lender which becomes a Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Borrower) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Exhibit S and any such passport holder that becomes a Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender after the date of this Agreement and wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply shall give an indication to that effect in the Assignment and Assumption and include its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in such Assignment and Assumption.

(vii) Where a Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender includes the indication described in Section 3.01(e)(vi) above in Exhibit S or in the Assignment and Assumption, the European Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with the United Kingdom HM Revenue & Customs within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement or date of assignment, as appropriate, and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.

(viii) If a Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.01(e)(vi) above or Section 3.01(h), no Borrower shall file any form relating to the United Kingdom HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Loan.

(ix) Each Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into gives a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the European Borrower by entering into this Agreement.

(x) Any Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender that has previously given a UK Tax Confirmation shall promptly notify the European Borrower and the Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in that U.K. Tax Confirmation.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by either Borrower or with respect to which either Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to either Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Value Added Tax.

(i) All amounts payable under a Loan Document by any Loan Party to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be exclusive of value added tax. If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to any Loan Party in connection with a Loan Document, that Loan Party shall, subject to Section 3.01(g)(iii) below, pay to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent (in addition to and at the same time as paying the amount for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such person).

(ii) Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent for any costs or expenses, that Loan Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify such Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent against all VAT incurred by it in respect of such costs and expenses to the extent that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment in respect of the VAT. The limitations set out in Section 10.08 shall apply mutatis mutandis for any obligation of a Loan Party incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to reimburse or indemnify a Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent.

(iii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any person other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such person shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT on production of a VAT invoice. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 3.01(g) to any person shall, at any time when such person is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the U.K. Value Added Tax Xxx 0000 or such similar concept as may be provided under similar legislation).

(h) HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme Confirmation.

(i) A Lender that becomes a Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender as an Eligible Assignee following entering into an Assignment and Assumption and which is a Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes, by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in that Assignment and Assumption.

(ii) Where a Term A-2 Lender or a Term A-3 Lender includes the indication described in Section 3.01(h)(i) above in the relevant Assignment and Assumption, the European Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with the United Kingdom H.M. Revenue and Customs within 30 days of that assignment and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.

3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Law has made it unlawful, that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful or that governmental request (whether or not having force of law) has made it impossible (upon the good faith compliance of such request by any Lender), for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on prompt notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, in the case of the US Borrower, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

3.04. Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);

(iii) result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, to represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans; or

(iv) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, any cost or expense arising as a result of the implementation or application of, or compliance with, the UK Bank Levy);

in each case, otherwise than in connection with any Excluded Tax, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the European Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amount under this Section 3.04(a) that is solely attributable to the Loans and Commitments that are solely for the benefit of, or Letters of Credit issued solely for the account of, the US Borrower and the US Subsidiaries.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that the European Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amount under this Section 3.04(b) that is solely attributable to the Loans and Commitments that are solely for the benefit of, or Letters of Credit issued solely for the account of, the US Borrower and the US Subsidiaries.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within seven Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and it is such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefore (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05. Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the applicable Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;

(c) any failure by such Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing, payment or disbursement, as applicable, under any Multicurrency RCF Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

(d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, such Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.07. Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Deutsche Bank (and Deutsche Bank hereby accepts such appointment) to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) Deutsche Bank or an Affiliate or designee thereof shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents (for purposes of this Article IX and Section 11.04, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be collectively referred to as the “Agents”), and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Deutsche Bank (and Deutsche Bank hereby accepts such appointment) and each such Affiliate and designee to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c) The provisions of the Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any such provisions.

9.02. Rights as a Lender. Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include such Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law;

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer; and

(e) shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

9.06. Resignation of Agent. (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with consent of the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent in any event not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with consent of the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent in any event not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent.

Any resignation by Deutsche Bank as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.07. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the parties listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder; it being understood and agreed that such parties shall be entitled to all indemnification rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 11.04(b).

9.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Agents under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

9.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank), and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize each Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by such Agent under any Loan Document (i) the occurrence of the Termination Date (as defined in the US Security Agreement), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by such Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01 (other than Sections 7.01(f) and (g), in which case such Agent is irrevocably authorized to enter into an intercreditor agreement in connection with any Liens permitted under such Section 7.01(f)).

Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the applicable Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

9.11. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Collateral Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Agents shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.

9.12. Declaration of Trust (Treuhand) and Appointment as Administrator. (a) The Collateral Agent shall: (i) hold, administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release any Lien or security interest which is governed by German law and which constitutes an assignment or transfer (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) or any other non-accessory security right (nicht akzessorische Sicherheit) granted to it pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or otherwise for the purpose of securing any of the Obligations secured thereunder as trustee (Treuhänder) for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and (ii) hold (with regard to its own rights under Section 9.14), administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release any Lien or security interest (if any) which constitutes a pledge (Verpfändung) or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) granted to it and/or the Secured Parties pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or otherwise for the purpose of securing any of the Obligations secured thereunder and each Lender authorizes the Collateral Agent to accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any other accessory right made to such Lender and to act as its representative (Stellvertreter) with regard to any amendments of, accessions to, releases of, confirmations of and any similar dealings with regard to the Collateral Documents which create a pledge or other accessory security right in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby ratifies and approves all acts done by any Agent on such Lender’s behalf. Each Lender hereby releases the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent acting on its behalf pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) (restriction on self-dealing) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible to such Lender. A Lender which is barred by its constitutional documents or by-laws from granting such exemption shall notify the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent accordingly.

(b) It is hereby agreed that, in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognize or give effect to the trust (Treuhand) expressed to be created by this Section 9.12, the relationship of the Lenders to the Agents in relation to any Lien or security interest governed by German law shall be construed as one of principal and agent but, to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this Section 9.12 shall have full force and effect between the parties hereto.

(c) For the purposes of enforcement of security interest which constitutes a pledge (Verpfändung) or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit), any Loan Party creating such security interest agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be the joint and several creditor (together with each Secured Party) of each and every obligation of any such Loan Party towards each of the Secured Parties and that accordingly, the Collateral Agent will have its own independent right to demand performance by such Loan Party of those obligations.

(d) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against any Loan Party (whether under this Section 9.12 or any other provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents), the Collateral Agent agrees that, subject to the following sentence, it will not exercise its rights as a joint creditor with a Secured Party except with the consent of the relevant Secured Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Collateral Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Collateral Document as contemplated by this Agreement and/or the relevant Collateral Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).

9.13. Fee Letter. The Borrowers agree to pay all fees payable under and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Fee Letter, including, without limitation, by executing all instruments and documents and taking all further actions reasonably requested by the Arrangers or the Agents in connection with such compliance.

9.14. Parallel Debt. Each of the parties hereto agree, and the Loan Parties acknowledge, by way of an abstract acknowledgement of indebtedness (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis), that (save in respect of any obligations owing under any Collateral Document governed by a law other than German law) each and every obligation of any Loan Party (and any of its successors) under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Secured Cash Management Agreements and the Secured Hedge Agreements shall also be owing in full to the Collateral Agent and that, accordingly, the Collateral Agent will have its own independent right to demand performance by such Loan Party of those obligations (the “Acknowledgement”), provided that in no event shall the European Borrower or any Foreign Guarantor be obligated to pay any amount that is attributable to principal, interest or other Obligations relating to the Term A-1 Facility, the Term B Facility, the US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, any Borrowing made by the US Borrower or (unless requested by the European Borrower) any Letters of Credit issued for the account of the US Borrower or any of its US Subsidiaries. The Collateral Agent undertakes with the relevant Loan Party that (a) in case of any discharge of any obligation owing to any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent will not, to the extent of such discharge, make a claim against such Loan Party under the Acknowledgement and (b) it will not, at any time, make any claim against any Loan Party exceeding the amount then payable by such Loan Party under the Loan Documents, the Secured Cash Management Agreements or the Secured Hedge Agreements. The Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Acknowledgment shall not be held on trust. The Security granted under the Collateral Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure the Acknowledgment is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Acknowledgment and shall not be held on trust.

9.15. English-law Security. The Collateral Agent shall hold any Lien or security interest which is governed by English law and is assigned or otherwise transferred to it pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or otherwise for the purpose of securing any of the Obligations secured thereunder on trust pursuant to the terms of the Security Trust Deed.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY

10.01. Guaranty, Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Foreign Obligations Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the European Borrower and each other Foreign Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Foreign Obligations”). Each US Obligations Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the US Borrower and each other US Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed US Obligations” and, together with the Guaranteed Foreign Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party in enforcing any rights against such Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Obligations Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Foreign Obligations and each US Obligations Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed US Obligations, in each case that would be owed by the European Borrower and other Foreign Loan Parties or the US Borrower and the other US Loan Parties, respectively, to any Lender Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Borrower or other Loan Party.

(b) Each Guarantor and each Lender Party hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that the Obligations of each Guarantor that is organized under the laws of a state of the United States or the District of Columbia hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guaranty and the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Lender Party and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor that is organized under the laws of a state of the United States or the District of Columbia with respect to the Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under the Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Lender Party with respect to the Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Lender Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents; provided that each Foreign Obligations Guarantor shall only be required to contribute such amounts to other Foreign Obligations Guarantors.

(d) The obligations under this Agreement of each Foreign Guarantor (in its capacity as a Foreign Guarantor) that becomes a Foreign Guarantor after the date hereof shall be limited as set forth in the Guaranty executed by such Foreign Guarantor.

10.02. Guaranty Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted pursuant to applicable Law, each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Foreign Obligations or Guaranteed US Obligations, as applicable, guaranteed by it will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of the Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce the Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against either Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether either Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under the Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

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

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Lender Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Lender Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

The Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

10.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke its Obligations with respect to the Guaranty and acknowledges that such Obligations are continuing in nature and apply to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, subject to applicable Law, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable Law.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

(f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 10.02 and this Section 10.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Notwithstanding the generality of this Section 10.03, for the avoidance of doubt, each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Jersey irrevocably waives and abandons any and all rights under the laws of Jersey:

(i) whether by virtue of the droit de disivion or otherwise, to require that any liability under a Guaranty be divided or apportioned with any other person or reduced in any manner whatsoever;

(ii) whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or otherwise, to require that recourse be had to the assets of any other person before any claim is enforced against such Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Jersey under a Guaranty.

10.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against either Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of the Guaranty or any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against either Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated and the Letters of Credit and Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated; provided that each Guarantor may make any necessary filings solely to preserve its claims against the applicable Borrower, other Loan Party or other insider guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty and (b) the date on which the Commitments shall have been terminated in whole, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under the Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and (iii) the Commitments shall have been terminated in whole, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

10.05. Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a US Obligations Guarantor or a Foreign Obligations Guarantor, as the case may be, hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor,” a “US Obligations Guarantor” or a “Foreign Obligations Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor and (b) each reference herein to “the Guaranty,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Guaranty under this Article X, and each reference in any Loan Document to the “Guaranty,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to the Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

10.06. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed US Obligations or Guaranteed Foreign Obligations, as applicable, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 10.06:

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Lenders and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

10.07. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. The Guaranty under this Article X is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty and (ii) the date on which the Commitments shall have been terminated in whole.

10.08. German Limitation Language.

(a) The restrictions in this Section 10.08 shall apply to the Guaranty granted by a Foreign Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic 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).

(b) The restrictions in this Section 10.08 shall not apply to the extent the German Guarantor secures any Guaranteed Foreign Obligations in respect of (i) loans to the extent they are on-lent to the relevant German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent is not repaid or (ii) bank guarantees, letters of credit or any other financial or monetary instrument issued for the benefit of any of the creditors of the German Guarantor or the German Guarantor’s Subsidiaries.

(i) The parties to this Agreement agree that if payment under the Guaranty by a German Guarantor would cause the amount of such German Guarantor’s net assets, as calculated pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 10.08, 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 (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) (“GmbHG”), (such event is hereinafter referred to as a “Capital Impairment”), then the Secured Parties shall, subject to paragraphs (ii) to (iii) below, demand payment under the Guaranty from such German Guarantor only to the extent such Capital Impairment would not occur.

(ii) If the relevant German Guarantor does not notify the Administrative Agent in writing (the “Management Notification”) within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent notified such German Guarantor of its intention to demand payment under the Guaranty that a Capital Impairment would occur (setting out in reasonable detail to what extent a Capital Impairment would occur, providing an up-to-date pro forma balance sheet and a statement if and to what extent a realization or other measures undertaken in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out in subsection (e) of this Section 10.08 would not prevent such Capital Impairment), then the restrictions set out in paragraph (i) above shall not apply.

(iii) If the Administrative Agent disagrees with the Management Notification, the relevant German Guarantor shall instruct Auditors to prepare an Auditors’ Determination. If the relevant German Guarantor does not provide an Auditors’ Determination (as defined in subsection (f) of this Section 10.08) within twenty-five (25) Business Days from the date on which the Administrative Agent has notified the relevant German Guarantor of its objection against the Management Notification then the restrictions set out in paragraph (i) above shall not apply and the Administrative Agent shall not be obliged to assign or make available to the German Guarantor any net proceeds realized.

(d) Net Assets.

The calculation of net assets (the “Net Assets”) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) (“HGB”) consistently applied by the German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss according to Section 42 GmbHG, Sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous years, save that the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:

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

(ii) loans provided to the German Guarantor by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall be disregarded, if and to the extent that such loans are subordinated or are considered subordinated by law or by contract at least to the rank pursuant to section 39 (1) Nr. 5 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung), provided the relevant German Guarantor is, as a consequence of payment under the Guaranty, entitled to a reimbursement claim against the relevant lender and is entitled to set-off such reimbursement claim against the relevant repayment claim under such loans;

(iii) any funds borrowed by any Borrower under this Agreement which have been or are on-lent 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 Guaranty is demanded, shall be disregarded;

(iv) 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.

(e) Mitigation.

The relevant German Guarantor shall:

(i) realize, to the extent legally permitted in a situation where it does not have sufficient Net Assets to maintain its registered share capital, any and 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; and

(ii) take measures (including, without limitation, setting-off claims or dissolution of hidden reserves) to increase the amount of Net Assets to the extent that the relevant German Guarantor is legally permitted to do so and provided that it is commercially justifiable to take such measures.

(f) Auditors’ Determination.

(i) If the relevant German Guarantor claims that a Capital Impairment would occur on payment under this Guaranty, the German Guarantor may (at its own cost and expense) arrange for the preparation of a balance sheet as of the date on which the payment under this Guaranty is sought (Stichtagsbilanz) by a firm of recognized auditors (the “Auditors”) in order to have such Auditors determine whether (and if so, to what extent) any payment under this Guaranty would cause a Capital Impairment (the “Auditors’ Determination”) and whether (and if so, to what extent) a realization or other measures undertaken in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out in subsection (e) of this Section 10.08 would not prevent such Capital Impairment).

(ii) The Auditors’ Determination shall be prepared, taking into account the adjustments set out in subsection (d) of this Section 10.08 above, by applying the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in the Federal Republic of 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 subsection (h) of this Section 10.08, such Auditors’ Determination shall be binding on the relevant German Guarantor and the Administrative Agent except in case of manifest error.

(iii) 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 subsection (e) of this Section 10.08 shall continue to exist.

(g) Improvement of Financial Condition.

If, after it has been provided with an Auditors’ Determination which prevented it from demanding any or only partial payment under this Guaranty, the Administrative 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 subsection (e) of this Section 10.08), the Administrative Agent may, at the relevant German Guarantor’s cost and expense, arrange for the preparation of an updated balance sheet of the relevant German Guarantor by applying the same principles that were used for the preparation of the Auditors’ Determination by the Auditors who prepared the Auditors’ Determination pursuant to subsection (f)(i) of this Section 10.08 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 Secured Parties may demand payment under this Guaranty to the extent that the Auditors determine that the Capital Impairment has been cured.

(h) No waiver.

Nothing in this Section 10.08 shall limit the enforceability (other than as specifically set out herein), legality or validity of this Guaranty or prevent the Secured Parties from claiming in court that the provision of this Guaranty and/or making payments under this Guaranty by the relevant German Guarantor does not fall within the scope of section 30 GmbHG. The Secured Parties’ rights to any remedies they may have against the relevant German Guarantor shall not be limited if, due to a change of law or final binding decision of the German Federal Supreme Court (Budesgerichtshof), the provision of this Guaranty and/or making payments under this Guaranty by the relevant German Guarantor does not fall within the scope of section 30 GmbHG. The agreement of the Administrative Agent to abstain from demanding any or part of the payment under this Guaranty in accordance with the provisions above shall not constitute a waiver (Verzicht) of any right granted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party.

(i) GmbH & Co KG.

In the case of a limited partnership with a limited liability company as its general partner (GmbH & Co. KG) payment under the Guaranty may be demanded up to an amount which does not cause such Foreign Guarantor to be over-indebted. For any further demand under the Guaranty against such Foreign Guarantor the aforementioned provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis and all references to net assets shall be construed as a reference to the net assets of the general partner of such Foreign Guarantor.

(j) AG.

(i) The parties to this Agreement agree that the Secured Parties shall not, subject to paragraph (ii) below, demand payment under the Guaranty from a Foreign Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as a stock corporation (“AG”) (a “German AG Guarantor”) to the extent the Guaranty secures 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) (“AktG”) (cross-stream) (excluding, for clarification purposes any direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Guarantor).

(ii) The restrictions in this Section 10.08 (j) shall not apply to the extent that the Guaranty granted by that German AG Guarantor (i) does not violate section 57 or section 71a AktG or (ii) secures Guaranteed Foreign Obligations in respect of (A) loans to the extent they are on-lent to the relevant German AG Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent is not repaid or (B) bank guarantees, letters of credit or any other financial or monetary instrument issued for the benefit of any of the creditors of the German AG Guarantor or the German AG Guarantor’s Subsidiaries.

10.09. OVERRIDING LIMITATION ON FOREIGN PAYMENTS, GUARANTEES AND PLEDGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY (INCLUDING ANY PROVISION THAT PROVIDES IT IS TO APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING CONTRARY PROVISIONS), (I) NO MORE THAN 65 PERCENT OF EQUITY INTERESTS REPRESENTING THE TOTAL COMBINED VOTING POWER OF ALL CLASSES OF EQUITY INTERESTS ENTITLED TO VOTE IN OR OF ANY FIRST-TIER FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY (AND NO EQUITY INTEREST IN ANY OTHER FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY THAT IS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, A SUBSIDIARY OF A FIRST-TIER FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY) SHALL BE PLEDGED OR SIMILARLY HYPOTHECATED TO GUARANTEE OR SUPPORT ANY GUARANTEED US OBLIGATIONS, (II) IN NO EVENT SHALL A PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF EQUITY INTERESTS IN ANY US OWNED DRE TO GUARANTEE OR SUPPORT ANY GUARANTEED US OBLIGATIONS, BE DEEMED TO GRANT A LENDER ANY PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF MORE THAN 65 PERCENT OF THE EQUITY INTERESTS IN ANY FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY HELD BY SUCH US OWNED DRE, (III) NO FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY SHALL GUARANTEE OR SUPPORT ANY GUARANTEED US OBLIGATIONS (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) AND (IV) NO SECURITY OR SIMILAR INTEREST SHALL BE GRANTED (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) IN THE ASSETS OF ANY FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY, WHICH SECURITY OR SIMILAR INTEREST GUARANTEES OR SUPPORTS ANY GUARANTEED US OBLIGATIONS. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IF A PLEDGE, GUARANTY OR SECURITY OR SIMILAR INTEREST MADE OR GRANTED BY A FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY IN CONTRAVENTION OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE DEEMED MODIFIED SUCH THAT IT IS SUBJECT TO, AND LIMITED BY, THIS SECTION 10.09.

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) believed by it in good faith to be given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice believed by it in good faith to be given by or on behalf of such Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Bankruptcy Law; and provided, further, that, if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

11.04. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) Costs and Expenses. The US Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Subject to Section 10.09, each of the Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by such Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof) and their respective Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by such Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of such Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives) or (y) result from a claim brought by such Borrower or any other Loan Party against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the liability of the European Borrower under this Section 11.04(b) shall be subject to Section 2.07(fg), and (2) the European Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 11.04(b) solely as a result of acts or omissions of or property or assets (other than interests in Foreign Subsidiaries) owned or operated by Parent or the US Subsidiaries.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that either of the Borrowers for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agents (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, neither Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives) as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

11.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;

(B) in the case of an assignment by Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch or HSBC Bank USA, N.A. prior to the occurrence of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter), no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(BC) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) or (b)(i)(B) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than (x) in the case of any Term B Loans, $1,000,000 and (y) in the case of any Revolving Credit Facility, Term A-1 Loans and Term A-2 Loans, $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Parent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Multicurrency RCF Commitment or US Dollar RCF Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Multicurrency RCF Commitment or US Dollar RCF Commitment, as the case may be, (2) any Term Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (3) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility and the US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries other than in accordance with Section 2.17 or (B) to a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the applicable Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.06(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may, at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the US Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation..

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Deutsche Bank assigns all of its Multicurrency RCF Commitment, US Dollar RCF Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 11.06(b), Deutsche Bank may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint, from among the Lenders, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Deutsche Bank as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Deutsche Bank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Deutsche Bank resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Deutsche Bank to effectively assume the obligations of Deutsche Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(h) Consent to Assignment or Transfer. Without prejudice to any other provisions of this Section 11.06, each Loan Party hereby expressly consents to each assignment and transfer of rights or obligations made in accordance with this Section 11.06. Each Loan Party also accepts and confirms, for the purposes of Sections 401, 412 and 1250 para. 1(1) of the German Civil Code (BGB) that all guarantees, indemnities and security granted by it under any Collateral Document governed by German law will, notwithstanding any such assignment and transfer, continue and be preserved for the benefit of the new Lender and each of the other Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents governed by German law.

(i) Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.06 or in this Agreement, (I) on or prior to the Closing Date, ano Lender shall not be permitted to assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement unless such assignment is (x) made to a Qualified Assignee or (y) made on the Closing Date to an otherwise permitted assignee who concurrently with such assignment funds its respective portion of all Loans borrowed on the Closing Date and (II) during the period beginning on (and including) the Closing Date through (and including) the Acquisition Funding Date, no Lender shall be permitted to assign all or a portion of its unfunded Term X-0 Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx X-0 Commitments or Term A-3 Commitments under this Agreement.

11.07. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) in accordance with customary bank practices, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of either Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deposits from, or obligations of, a Foreign Loan Party may be set off against Obligations of the US Borrower.

11.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

11.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a) the US Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. ii) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWERS AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWERS OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

(e) FOREIGN PROCESS AGENT. EACH FOREIGN LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY APPOINTS CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY, WITH AN OFFICE ON THE DATE HEREOF XX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXXX 000, XXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXX 00000, AND ITS SUCCESSORS HEREUNDER (THE “PROCESS AGENT”), AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ON BEHALF OF EACH SUCH FOREIGN LOAN PARTY AND ITS PROPERTY ALL WRITS, CLAIMS, PROCESS, AND SUMMONSES IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST IT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SUCH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY MAILING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO THE RESPECTIVE FOREIGN LOAN PARTY IN CARE OF THE PROCESS AGENT AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED ABOVE FOR THE PROCESS AGENT, AND SUCH FOREIGN LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS THE PROCESS AGENT TO ACCEPT SUCH SERVICE ON ITS BEHALF. FAILURE BY THE PROCESS AGENT TO GIVE NOTICE TO THE RESPECTIVE FOREIGN LOAN PARTY, OR FAILURE OF THE RESPECTIVE FOREIGN LOAN PARTY, TO RECEIVE NOTICE OF SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS SHALL NOT IMPAIR OR AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUCH SERVICE ON THE PROCESS AGENT OR ANY SUCH FOREIGN LOAN PARTY, OR OF ANY JUDGMENT BASED THEREON. EACH FOREIGN LOAN PARTY COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT IT SHALL TAKE ANY AND ALL REASONABLE ACTION, INCLUDING THE EXECUTION AND FILING OF ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS, THAT MAY BE NECESSARY TO CONTINUE THE DESIGNATION OF THE PROCESS AGENT ABOVE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT, AND TO CAUSE THE PROCESS AGENT TO ACT AS SUCH. EACH FOREIGN LOAN PARTY HERETO FURTHER COVENANTS AND AGREES TO MAINTAIN AT ALL TIMES AN AGENT WITH OFFICES IN NEW YORK CITY TO ACT AS ITS PROCESS AGENT. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL IN ANY WAY BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE ABILITY TO SERVE ANY SUCH WRITS, PROCESS OR SUMMONSES IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

11.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrowers and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers on the other hand, (ii) each of the Borrowers and each Guarantor has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each of the Borrowers and each Guarantor is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, and each of the Arrangers, is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers has any obligation to the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers, Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers and each Guarantor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

11.17. Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents

. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.18. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended from time to time, the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” an anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

11.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

11.20. OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AND CERTAIN OTHER DOCUMENTS TO SECURE THE DEBT PERMITTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.02(c)(v), WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER (AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFIT OF GUARANTIES AND SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL GRANTED FOR THEIR BENEFIT UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE SECURED PARTIES, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.20 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH SECURED PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY SECURED PARTY AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER (AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFIT OF GUARANTIES AND SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL GRANTED FOR THEIR BENEFIT UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) IS FURTHER AWARE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY ALSO BE ACTING IN AN COLLATERAL AGENCY CAPACITY UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AND CERTAIN OTHER DOCUMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE DEBT PERMITTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.02(c)(v) ON BEHALF OF THE PARTIES PROVIDING SUCH DEBT AND EACH LENDER (AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFIT OF GUARANTIES AND SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL GRANTED FOR THEIR BENEFIT UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THERETO OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING THEREFROM.

ARTICLE XII

LENDER LOSS SHARING INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

The provisions of this Article XII are established solely for the purposes of allocating risks between and among Lenders in relation to the Term Loans, Multicurrency RCF Commitments and US Dollar RCF Commitments, and in effecting the allocations and exchanges to give effect to the provisions hereof, the intention is not to increase any obligations of any Borrower or Guarantor.

12.01. Definitions. As used in this Section 12, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) Applicable Aggregate Percentage: means, in respect of the Facilities, with respect to any Lender at any time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Facilities represented by such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, Multicurrency RCF Commitments and US Dollar RCF Commitments; provided that (i) if the Multicurrency RCF Commitments of each Multicurrency RCF Lender have been terminated or have expired, then for purposes of calculating the Applicable Aggregate Percentage, such Lender’s Multicurrency RCF Commitments shall be determined based on the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility most recently in effect, giving effect to any subsequent assignments and (ii) if the US Dollar RCF Commitments of each US Dollar RCF Lender have been terminated or have expired, then for purposes of calculating the Applicable Aggregate Percentage, such Lender’s US Dollar RCF Commitments shall be determined based on the US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility most recently in effect, giving effect to any subsequent assignments.

(b) CAM: the mechanism for the allocation and exchange of interests in the Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and collections thereunder established under Section 12.02.

(c) CAM Exchange: the exchange of the Term A-1 Lenders’, Term A-2 Lenders’, Term A-3 Lenders’, Term B Lenders’, Multicurrency RCF Lenders’ and US Dollar RCF Lenders’ interests provided for in Section 12.02.

(e) CAM Percentage: as to each Lender, such Applicable Aggregate Percentage of the Facilities, immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the commitments pursuant to Section 8.02(a).

(f) Designated Obligations: all Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to (i) principal and interest under the Loans, (ii) unreimbursed drawings, payments and disbursements under Letters of Credit and interest thereon and (iii) all fees due and payable under the Agreement and interest thereon.

12.02. CAM Exchange. (a) On the CAM Exchange Date:

(i) first, each Multicurrency RCF Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Multicurrency RCF Swing Line Loans in accordance with Section 2.04;

(ii) second, each US Dollar RCF Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding US Dollar RCF Swing Line Loans in accordance with Section 2.04;

(iii) third, each Multicurrency RCF Lender shall fund its full participation in any unreimbursed drawings, payments and disbursements under any Multicurrency RCF Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03;

(iv) fourth, each US Dollar RCF Lender shall fund its full participation in any unreimbursed drawings, payments and disbursements under any US Dollar RCF Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03;

(v) fifth, the Lenders shall purchase, at the Dollar Equivalent of par, interests in the Designated Obligations under each Facility (and shall make payments in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for reallocation to other Lenders to the extent necessary to give effect to such purchases) such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under the Term A-1 Facility, Term A-2 Facility, Term A-3 Facility, Term B Facility, Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility and US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility in which it shall participate immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in each component of the Designated Obligations immediately following the CAM Exchange.

(b) Each Lender and each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 11.06 hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange.

(c) As a result of the CAM Exchange, from and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of any of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages.

(d) In the event that on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by an L/C Issuer that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers, then each Lender shall promptly reimburse such L/C Issuer for its CAM Percentage of such unreimbursed payment.

(e) In the event that on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by an L/C Issuer that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers, then each Lender shall promptly reimburse such L/C Issuer for its CAM Percentage of such unreimbursed payment

12.03. Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if the Administrative Agent or a Lender is required under applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes or other amounts from payments made by it hereunder or as a result hereof to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Person shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts and pay over such Taxes or other amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority imposing such Tax without any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to such amounts and without any other obligation of gross up or offset with respect thereto and there shall be no recourse whatsoever by Agent or any Lender subject to such withholding to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender making such withholding and paying over such amounts, but without diminution of the rights of the Administrative Agent or such Lender subject to such withholding as against Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to the extent (if any) provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated as, for the purpose of this Section 12, having been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender with respect to which such withholding or deduction was made.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
