SECTION 1.05. Currency Equivalents. At any time that any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is issued and outstanding:

(a) For purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any issuance, renewal or extension of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, together with all other Letters of Credit then issued, and all Borrowings then outstanding, would exceed the aggregate amount of Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Commitments and (iii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Borrowings or aggregate face amount of issued Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, the face amount of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit determined as of the date of such determination. In connection with any issuance, renewal or extension of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit where a required minimum or multiple amount is expressed in Dollars, the minimum or multiple amount will be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of the relevant Alternative Currency).

SECTION 2.01. The Commitments.

(a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such

- 35 -

Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b) Tranche A Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche A Term Loan Lender agrees to make a Tranche A Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Tranche A Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid in respect of Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed hereunder.

(c) Tranche B Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche B Term Loan Lender agrees to make a Tranche B Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Tranche B Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid in respect of Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed hereunder.

(d) Limit on Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01, in no event shall the total Revolving Exposure, after giving effect to any borrowing on any date of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or issuance, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit hereunder, exceed the lesser of (i) U.S.$500,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Commitments on such date.

(e) Incremental Term Loans. In addition to Borrowings of Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans specified in Section 2.01(a), (b) and (c), respectively, at any time and from time to time prior to the Incremental Term Loan Availability Date, the Borrower may request that the Lenders offer to enter into commitments to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars. It is understood in each case that such offer may be made by any financial institution that is to become a Lender hereunder in connection with the making of such offer under this paragraph (e), so long as the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such financial institution being a Lender hereunder (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In the event that one or more of the Lenders offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders and the Borrower agree as to the amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders making such offers, as to the fees (if any) to be payable by the Borrower in connection therewith and the Applicable Rate and (in the case of Incremental Term Loans) amortization relating thereto, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders shall execute and deliver an Incremental Term Loan Agreement and such Lenders shall become obligated to make Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Term Loan Commitments as specified in such Incremental Term Loan Agreement. The Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental Term Loan Agreement in response to any such request by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments entered into pursuant to any request specified above (and, accordingly, the minimum aggregate principal amount of any Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be $75,000,000, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Incremental Term Loans of all Series, together with the aggregate unutilized Incremental

- 36 -

Term Commitments of all Series, shall not exceed $500,000,000 at any time, (iii) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall terminate on the earlier of the Incremental Term Loan Availability Date and the date after the date of the respective Incremental Term Loan Agreement for such Series as agreed upon by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders and (iv) in no event shall the Incremental Term Loan Agreement for any Series of Incremental Term Loans provide for the final maturity of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series to be earlier than the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, or for the weighted average life to maturity of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series to be less than the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans as of the date of such Incremental Term Loan Agreement (such determination of average life to be made by the Administrative Agent).

Following agreement by the Borrower and one or more of the Lenders as provided above, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Incremental Term Loan Lender of any Series agrees to make Incremental Term Loans of such Series to the Borrower from time to time during the period from and including the date of the respective Incremental Term Loan Agreement for such Series to and including the earlier of the Incremental Term Loan Availability Date and the date after the date of such Incremental Term Loan Agreement as agreed upon by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Series of such Incremental Term Loan Lender.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans (as the Borrower may request) in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of U.S.$3,000,000 or a larger multiple of U.S.$100,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to U.S.$3,000,000 or a larger multiple of U.S.$100,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of the applicable Class or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(g). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount equal to U.S.$500,000 or a larger multiple of U.S.$100,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and

- 37 -

Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of thirty (30) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Limitations on Lengths of Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue as a Eurodollar Borrowing: (i) any Revolving Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) any Term Loan Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Term Loan Maturity Date for the relevant Class; or (iii) unless the Borrower shall confirm to the Administrative Agent in connection with such request or election that the Borrower intends to compensate each Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 (to the extent required to do so thereunder), any Term Loan Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after any Principal Payment Date unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, having Interest Periods that end after such Principal Payment Date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, respectively, permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal Payment Date.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a Revolving ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(g) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by such Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans.

(a) Agreement to Make Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding U.S.$50,000,000 or (ii) the total Revolving Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Interest Rates. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans or FFBR Loans (with an Interest Period of two weeks), as selected by the Borrower, except that the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree that the interest rate in respect of a Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender, for a period ending on the date that is not earlier than one day and not later than fifteen days after such Swingline Loan is made, be at an alternative rate of interest (and with such applicable margins and prepayment premiums) as may from time to time be offered by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower in its sole discretion; provided that upon any sale pursuant to Section 2.04(d) of participations in any Swingline Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Federal Funds Base Rate or any such alternative rate, such Swingline Loans shall automatically be converted into an ABR Loan.

(c) Notice of Swingline Loans by the Borrower. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), amount and Type of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to a deposit account designated by the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(g), by remittance to the respective Issuing Lender) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(d) Participations by Lenders in Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time,

- 39 -

on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice to the Administrative Agent shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans on the applicable Business Day as provided above. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Replacement of Swingline Lender. The Borrower may at any time, and from time to time, request that the then-current Swingline Lender be replaced with another Lender hereunder designated by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any such replacement shall be effected pursuant to a written instrument, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, under which such new Lender agrees to become the “Swingline Lender” hereunder, and the predecessor Swingline Lender is relieved of all of its obligations hereunder as the “Swingline Lender”; provided that in no event shall any such replacement occur unless the principal of and interest on all of the Swingline Loans of the predecessor Swingline Lender shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Borrower may request an Issuing Lender to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, Committed Letters of Credit for its own account in such form as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender in its reasonable

- 40 -

determination. Committed Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments specified by the Borrower at the time it requests such Committed Letter of Credit to be issued hereunder.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Committed Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Committed Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Lender) to the respective Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Committed Letter of Credit, or identifying the Committed Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Committed Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (e) of this Section) and the amount of such Committed Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Committed Letter of Credit. If requested by the respective Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Committed Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Committed Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(i) Requests for Offers. From time to time during the Revolving Availability Period the Borrower may request the Issuing Lenders to make offers to issue a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency for account of the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers. The issuance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions of Section 5.02 and to such other conditions as are agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuing Lender issuing such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.05, each such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be issued, and subsequently, renewed, extended, amended and confirmed, on such terms as the Borrower and such Issuing Lender shall agree, including, without limitation, expiry, drawing conditions, reimbursement, interest, fees and provision of cover. Each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments specified by the Borrower at the time it requests such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit to be issued hereunder.

(ii) Reports to Administrative Agent. Each Issuing Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each other Issuing Lender a report in respect of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (each such report, an “Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Report”) on and as of the date on which (x) such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is issued, (y) the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of a Committed Letter of Credit, if any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is then outstanding, and (z) the Revolving Commitments

Each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Report shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which it is required to be delivered. The Borrower agrees to promptly provide the Issuing Lenders with such reasonably requested information as may be needed to prepare an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Report.

(d) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of all Issuing Lenders (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section) shall not exceed U.S.$200,000,000, (ii) the total Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (iii) the aggregate LC Exposure of such Issuing Lender (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section) shall not exceed the maximum LC Exposure for such Issuing Lender, if any, specified in the instrument contemplated by clause (k) below.

(e) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit, so long as such renewal or extension occurs within three months of such then-current expiration date) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(f) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Lender in respect of the Revolving

- 42 -

Commitments, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the respective Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (x) each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing Lender in respect of each Committed Letter of Credit and (y) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in an Alternative Currency, promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(g) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement (i) under a Committed Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (x) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time (provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $100,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Revolving ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan) and (ii) under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the relevant Alternative Currency equal to such LC

- 43 -

Disbursement or, if the Lenders have paid in Dollars to acquire a participation, an amount of Dollars equal to such LC Disbursement not later that 12:00 noon, London time, on (x) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., London time, or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time.

If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, together with, in the case of an LC Disbursement under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, using the Exchange Rates which would apply were such Lender to pay such amount on the date such notice is delivered to such Lender.

(h) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (g) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that:

(i) an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may

- 44 -

make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(ii) an Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(i) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(j) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply; provided further that, in case of any LC Disbursement made under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall be payable in U.S. Dollars and shall accrue on the Dollar Equivalent thereof calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date such LC Disbursement was made. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of such Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(k) Addition / Termination of Issuing Lenders. Any Lender may be added as an Issuing Lender (each such Lender, an “Additional Issuing Lender”) at any time pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Additional Issuing Lender and to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Additional Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of each Additional Issuing Lender. From and after the effective date of any such addition, (i) the Additional Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include such Additional Issuing Lender.

- 45 -

In addition, any Issuing Lender, with the consent of the Borrower, may cease being an Issuing Lender (each such Issuing Lender, a “Terminating Issuing Lender”) at any time pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Terminating Issuing Lender and to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Terminating Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of each Terminating Issuing Lender. At the time such termination is effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the respective Terminating Issuing Lender. After the termination of a Terminating Issuing Lender, such Terminating Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto as an Issuing Lender and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(l) Cash Collateralization. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least 66-²/3% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VIII. For purposes of this paragraph, Alternative Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Borrower. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account as collateral in the first instance for the LC Exposure under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the “Secured Obligations” under and as defined in the U.S. Pledge Agreement, and for these purposes the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Collateral Account and in any financial assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or other Property held therein.

(m) Existing Letters of Credit. Pursuant to (i) section 2.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement, JPMorgan Chase, as an “Issuing Lender” thereunder, has issued various “Letters of Credit” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, and (ii) the The Bank of Nova Scotia has issued various Letters of Credit as listed identified on Schedule IX. On the Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder set forth in Article V, each of such “Letters of Credit” under the Existing Credit Agreement and Letters of Credit issued by the The Bank of Nova Scotia shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any Person, become a Letter of Credit hereunder and constitute a utilization of the Revolving Commitments. Each Letter of Credit issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia will constitute a Letter of Credit under this Agreement notwithstanding that it does not comply with Section 2.05(e) of this Agreement; provided that

- 46 -

any replacement, varied or amended Letter of Credit issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia as listed in Schedule IX after the date hereof must comply with all provisions of this Section 2.05.

(n) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VIII, all amounts (i) that the Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which the Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to paragraph (l) of this Section, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the Issuing Lenders pursuant to paragraph (g) of the Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any Revolving Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(g) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Lender.

(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the 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 Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If

- 47 -

such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections.

(a) Elections for Borrowings. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing made to it to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, the Borrower, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period for Borrowings made to it, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies (including, if applicable, the respective Series of Incremental Term Loans to which such Interest Election Request relates) and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clause (iii) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; and

(iii) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, each of which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

- 48 -

(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of each such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VIII and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of the Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments and the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date, (ii) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of each Series shall terminate on the Incremental Term Loan Availability Date and (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount that is U.S.$3,000,000 or a larger multiple of U.S.$100,000, or the remaining amount of the Commitments of such Class and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.08(d) (but subject to Section 2.10(c)), the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any

- 49 -

Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans as follows:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Revolving Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date;

- 51 -

fifteenth day after such Loan is made (but not earlier than one Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made) and (C) in the case of any Swingline FFBR Loan, the earlier of (x) the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan and (y) the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year; provided that (i) if any such day is not a Business Day, then the Borrower shall pay such Swingline Loan on the next preceding Business Day and (ii) on each date that a U.S. Dollar Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline ABR Loans then outstanding; and

(v) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Incremental Term Loan Lender of any Series the outstanding principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan of such Lender of such Series on the respective Incremental Term Loan Principal Payments Dates for the Incremental Term Loans of such Series.

(b) Adjustment of Amortization Schedule. The scheduled repayments of Borrowings of Term Loans of each Class to be made pursuant to clause (a)(ii) and (iii) above shall be reduced as provided in Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(b)(vi). To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans of each Class shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Class.

(c) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the scheduled date of such payment; provided that, in the case of a payment by the Borrower, unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, each payment of Borrowings by the Borrower of any Class shall be applied to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings by the Borrower of such Class. If the Borrower fails to make a selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings by the Borrower to be repaid or prepaid within the applicable time period, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of the Borrower of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be paid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(d) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(e) Maintenance of Loan Accounts by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

- 52 -

(f) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made to it identified by the Borrower in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section; provided that the aggregate principal amount of any prepayment on any date pursuant to this paragraph shall be at least equal to U.S.$2,000,000. Any prepayment of a Tranche A Term Loan Borrowing, Tranche B Term Loan Borrowing or an Incremental Term Loan Borrowing pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied (i) at the Borrower’s option, first to reduce up to the next four scheduled repayments thereof in direct chronological order and second to reduce the remaining scheduled repayments thereof on a pro rata basis, or (ii) if the Borrower so elects or does not designate its option under the immediately preceding clause (i), to reduce the remaining scheduled payments thereof on a pro rata basis.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments – All Loans. The Borrower will make prepayments of the Loans hereunder as follows:

(i) Casualty Events. Upon the date 270 days following the receipt by the Borrower of the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event affecting any Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Non-Controlled Joint Venture Entity) (or upon such earlier date as the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have determined not to repair or replace the Property affected by such Casualty Event), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event not theretofore applied to the repair or replacement of such Property, such prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi) below; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment under this clause (i) to the extent that

(A) the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt thereof that it or such Subsidiary intends to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds into the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and

- 53 -

(B) such Net Available Proceeds are in fact so applied to such reinvestment within 270 days of receipt thereof (it being understood that, in the event Net Available Proceeds from more than one Casualty Event are held by the Borrower, or have been applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans, such Net Available Proceeds shall be deemed to be utilized in the same order in which such Casualty Event occurred and, accordingly, any such Net Available Proceeds so held or applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans for more than 270 days shall be forthwith applied to the prepayment of Loans as provided above),

it being understood that, if the Borrower does not so advise the Administrative Agent that it intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to make such reinvestment as provided above, or does not in fact apply such Net Available Proceeds to reinvestments within the time periods specified above, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an amount equal to the amount specified above.

(ii) Dispositions. In the event that the Net Available Proceeds of any Disposition (herein, the “Current Disposition”), and of all prior Dispositions consummated in the then-current fiscal year of the Borrower as to which a prepayment has not yet been made under this paragraph, shall exceed U.S.$30,000,000 then, no later than 365 days after the occurrence of the Current Disposition, the Borrower will deliver to the Lenders a statement, certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, in reasonable detail, of the amount of the Net Available Proceeds of the Current Disposition and of all such prior Dispositions and will prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such excess amount of the Net Available Proceeds of the Current Disposition and such prior Dispositions, such prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi) below; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Current Disposition is not a Disposition of Receivable Assets as part of a Permitted Receivable Financing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment under this clause (iii) to the extent that

(A) the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent at the time of such Disposition, or as promptly as is reasonably practical thereafter, that it intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to finance one or more Acquisitions pursuant to Section 7.05(b), or otherwise to reinvest the proceeds thereof into the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and

(B) such Net Available Proceeds are in fact so applied to such Acquisition(s) or reinvestment within 365 days of such Disposition (it being understood that, in the event Net Available Proceeds from more than one Disposition are held by the Borrower, or have been applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans, such Net Available Proceeds shall be deemed to be utilized in the same order in which such Dispositions occurred and, accordingly, any such Net Available Proceeds so held or applied to the prepayment of Revolving Loans for more than 365 days shall be forthwith applied to the prepayment of Loans as provided above),

- 54 -

it being understood that, if the Borrower does not so advise the Administrative Agent that it or such Subsidiary intends to use such Net Available Proceeds to finance one or more Acquisitions or make such reinvestment as provided above, or does not in fact apply such Net Available Proceeds to one or more Acquisitions or reinvestments within the time periods specified above, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an amount equal to the amount specified above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the amount of the required prepayment on any date is not greater than U.S.$50,000,000, the Borrower shall not be required to make any prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing until the expiration(s) of the then-current Interest Periods.

(v) Foreign Subsidiary Debt Incurrence. On or prior to the date 90 days after the date of any Foreign Subsidiary Debt Incurrence, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds thereof unless such Net Available Proceeds are applied or maintained for working capital or other general corporate purposes of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, such prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi) below.

(vi) Application. Prepayments by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be applied as follows:

first, such prepayment shall be applied to any then outstanding Term Loans, ratably in accordance with the then-outstanding aggregate principal amounts thereof; and

second, after the payment in full of any then outstanding Term Loans, such prepayment shall be applied to any then outstanding Revolving Loans (without reduction of Revolving Commitments), ratably in accordance with the then-outstanding aggregate principal amounts thereof.

Each such prepayment of the Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this clause (b)(vi) shall be applied (i) at the Borrower’s option, first to reduce up to the next four scheduled repayments thereof in direct chronological order and second to reduce the remaining scheduled repayments thereof on a pro rata basis or (ii) if the Borrower so elects or does not designate its option under the immediately preceding clause (i), to reduce the remaining scheduled repayments thereof on a pro rata basis.

- 57 -

(d) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Revolving Commitment terminates and the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date the Revolving Commitments terminate and the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. For purposes of this Section 2.11(a), outstanding Swingline Loans shall not constitute a usage of the Revolving Commitments. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender, a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate set forth in the instrument of such Issuing Lender contemplated

- 58 -

by Section 2.05(j) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure of such Issuing Lender (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements and determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to paragraph (f) of Section 2.05) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For the purposes of calculating the average daily balance of the LC Exposure for any period under this Section 2.11(b), the average daily amount of the Alternative Currency LC Exposure for such period shall be calculated by multiplying (x) the average daily balance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (expressed in the Alternative Currency of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit) by (y) the Exchange Rate for each such Alternative Currency in effect on the last Business Day of such period or by such other reasonable method that the Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing (other than in respect of Swingline Loans, as to which paragraph (c) below shall apply) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Swingline ABR and FFBR Borrowings. Each ABR Borrowing constituting a Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. Each Swingline Borrowing the interest on which is determined by reference to the Federal Funds Base Rate for any Interest Period therefor shall bear interest at a rate per

- 59 -

annum, for each day during such Interest Period, equal to the Federal Funds Base Rate for such period plus the Applicable Rate plus 0.50%. Each Swingline Borrowing the interest on which is determined at an alternate rate of interest as contemplated in Section 2.04(b), shall bear interest at the respective alternate rate of interest so agreed for the period so contemplated by Section 2.04(b).

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving ABR Loan prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) if such Borrowing is of a particular Class of Loans, the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent

- 60 -

notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to, or continued as, an ABR Borrowing and (ii) any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will upon request pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error (such certificate, in the case of any amount payable as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section, shall set forth in

- 61 -

reasonable detail the calculation of such amount). The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or Swingline FFBR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(d) and is revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the Borrowing of any Term Loan the Interest Period for which commences before and ends after any Principal Payment Date (unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, having Interest Periods that end after such Principal Payment Date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, respectively, permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal Payment Date), or (e) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (including such loss, cost and expense as calculated below but otherwise excluding any lost profit):

(a) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, Borrowing, failure or assignment to the last day of then current Interest Period for such Loan (or (x) in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation and (y) in the case of a Borrowing of any Term Loan, the period from the date of such Borrowing to the applicable Principal Payment Date) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Term Loans, such other period), over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such

- 62 -

period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in U.S. Dollars from other banks in the Eurodollar market at the commencement of such period; and

(b) in the case of a Swingline FFBR Loan, the loss to the Swingline Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by the Swingline Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Federal Funds Base Rate for the period commencing on the date of such payment to but not including the last day of the Interest Period for such Swingline FFBR Loan, over (ii) the Federal Funds Base Rate for such Interest Period.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error (such certificate to include in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount or amounts). The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Covered Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within 30 days after written 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 such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error (such certificate to include in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount).

- 63 -

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) Refund. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set–offs.

(a) Payments by the Obligors. Each Obligor shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim; provided that if a new Loan is to be made by any Lender on a date the Borrower is to repay any principal of an outstanding Loan of such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of such new Loan to the payment of the principal to be repaid and only an amount equal to the difference between the principal to be borrowed and the principal to be repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.06 or paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph, as the case may be. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest

- 64 -

thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at an office specified by it, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document, and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.11 shall be made for account of the relevant Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the

aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Obligor 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 Obligor rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d), 2.05(f) or (g), 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

- 66 -

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may exercise its rights under Section 10.04(i).

(xiii) obtain the appointment of a receiver with respect to any collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and apply the proceeds of such receivership as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may in its discretion determine (it being agreed that nothing in this clause (xiii) shall be deemed to make the Administrative Agent or any Lender a party in possession in contemplation of law, except at its option);

(viii) any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of, or other election of remedies with respect to, any interest in real Property or other collateral serving as security for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, even though such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies may impair the subrogation rights of any Subsidiary Guarantor or may preclude any Subsidiary Guarantor from obtaining reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or other recovery from any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower any other guarantor or any other Person and even though the Borrower may not, as a result of such foreclosure, sale or election of remedies, be liable for any deficiency;

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that it has established adequate means of obtaining financial and other information pertaining to the business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the Borrower and its properties on a continuing basis and that such Subsidiary Guarantor is now and will in the future remain fully familiar with the business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the Borrower and its properties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further represents and warrants that it has reviewed and approved this Agreement and the related Loan Documents and is fully familiar with the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents and that it will in the future remain fully familiar with such transaction and with any new Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated by such Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (should any such duty exist) to disclose to such or any other Subsidiary Guarantor any matter of fact or other information related to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or its properties or to any Loan Documents or the transactions undertaken pursuant to, or contemplated by, such Loan Documents, whether now or in the future known by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 3.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or

- 72 -

restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 3.04. Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including any such right arising under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Article until such time as the obligations under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full and the Commitments have terminated. Each Subsidiary Guarantor understands that, by reason of the foregoing provisions of this Section, the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges that it has under this Article and under the other Loan Documents will result in nonreimbursable liabilities under this Agreement. Nevertheless, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to exercise, in its or their sole discretion, any combination of such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as they, in their sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.

SECTION 3.05. Remedies. Each Subsidiary Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII) for purposes of Section 3.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 3.01.

SECTION 3.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

SECTION 3.07. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

SECTION 3.08. Rights of Contribution. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this

- 73 -

Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

For purposes of this Section, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 3.09. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally (including “financial assistance” rules under the laws of England, including Sections 151 to and including 158 of the Companies Act), if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 3.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 3.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding (or, in the case of Canandaigua Limited, be limited so as not to guarantee the portion of the Loans that are not permitted to be guaranteed under such “financial assistance” rules).

SECTION 3.10. Borrower Guarantee with Respect to Hedging Agreements. Subject to the relevant requirements and limitations set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.06, the Borrower hereby guarantees the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all amounts owing from time to time by any Subsidiary of the Borrower under any Hedging Agreement entered into by such Subsidiary with any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender in strict accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Hedging Guaranteed Obligations”). The Borrower hereby further agrees

- 74 -

that if any Subsidiary shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Hedging Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Hedging Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Sections 3.02 through 3.07, inclusive, shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Guarantee by the Borrower contained in the preceding paragraph, as if each reference in said Sections to the “Guaranteed Obligations” were a reference to the Hedging Guaranteed Obligations and each reference in said Sections to the “Administrative Agent” or to any “Lender” were a reference to the Lender or Affiliate thereof that is a party to the applicable Hedging Agreement referred to in the preceding paragraph.

(A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

- 103 -

(B) except with respect to the CBI Preferred Stock Payments, the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made during any fiscal year, including the fiscal year ending February 28, 2004, shall not exceed an amount equal to 50% of consolidated net income of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year;

(C) except with respect to the CBI Preferred Stock Payments, the Debt Ratio for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date of any such Restricted Payment shall not exceed 2.00 to 1; and

(D) except with respect to the CBI Preferred Stock Payments, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least 10 Business Days (but not more than 20 Business Days) prior to the date of declaration of any such Restricted Payment, a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth computations in reasonable detail demonstrating satisfaction of the foregoing conditions as at the date of such certificate and stating that such Financial Officer believes in good faith that none of such conditions will fail to be satisfied on the date of payment of such Restricted Payment,

it being understood that to the extent the conditions specified in the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) are satisfied on the date of declaration of such Restricted Payment by the board of directors of the Borrower, such Restricted Payment may be made at any time within the 60-day period thereafter, regardless of whether such conditions continue to be satisfied.

(b) The Borrower may make Restricted Payments consisting of repurchases of its capital stock; provided that:

(i) the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Payments made during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed (i) U.S.$100,000,000 in the case of the Borrower’s 2007 fiscal year and (ii) for each successive fiscal year of the Borrower thereafter, 120% of the amount permitted during the immediately preceding fiscal year;

(ii) after giving effect to any such Restricted Payment, the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with Section 7.10 during the four quarter period most-recently ended under the assumption that such Restricted Payment, and any related borrowing, shall have been made or incurred at the beginning of such period (and, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered a calculation demonstrating such pro forma compliance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); and

(iii) the Borrower will not make any Restricted Payment under this paragraph (b) unless at the time thereof, and after giving effect thereto, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(c) Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit the making or paying of any dividends or other distributions (in any type of Property), or entering into any agreement to pay or make dividends or other distributions, directly or indirectly, by any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the Borrower or to any other Subsidiary of the Borrower.

- 104 -

SECTION 7.08. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than Non-Controlled Joint Venture Entities) to, sell, lease or otherwise transfer any property or assets to, or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise engage in any other transactions with, any of its Affiliates; provided that (x) any Affiliate who is an individual may serve as a director, officer or employee of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and receive reasonable compensation for his or her services in such capacity and (y) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may enter into transactions with any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Subsidiary if the monetary or business consideration arising therefrom would be substantially as advantageous to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as the monetary or business consideration which would obtain in a comparable transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

During any period that the Borrower is a public company regulated by, and required to file regular periodic reports with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, any compensation paid to an executive officer of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (who is an Affiliate) which has been specifically approved by the board of directors of the Borrower (or by the Human Resources Committee of the board of directors of the Borrower or other committee responsible for such approval) during such period will be deemed to be reasonable for purposes of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary may enter into so-called split-dollar life insurance agreements with Affiliates, so long as the aggregate amount of premiums payable by the Borrower during any fiscal year pursuant to such agreements shall not exceed U.S.$2,000,000 in the aggregate.

SECTION 7.09. Certain Restrictions. The Borrower will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than Joint Venture Entities) to enter into, after the date hereof, any indenture, agreement, instrument or other arrangement that, directly or indirectly, prohibits or restrains, or has the effect of prohibiting or restraining, or imposes materially adverse conditions upon, the incurrence or payment of Indebtedness, the granting of Liens, the declaration or payment of dividends, the making of loans, advances, guarantees or Investments or the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of Property; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions imposed by law, by this Agreement or, in the case of any restrictions or conditions other than in respect of the declaration or payment of dividends by Subsidiaries, restrictions or conditions imposed by any evidence of Senior Unsecured Indebtedness, Subordinated Indebtedness or Foreign Subsidiary Indebtedness (so long as no such restriction or condition is materially more restrictive on the Borrower or any Subsidiary than the corresponding provisions of the 1999 Indenture or the Senior Subordinated Note Indentures as in effect on the date hereof), (ii) the foregoing shall not apply to customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of a Subsidiary or its assets or capital stock pending such sale; provided that such restrictions and conditions apply only to the Subsidiary or its assets or capital stock that are to be sold and such sale is permitted hereunder, (iii) as applied to Liens, the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to secured Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, (iv) as applied to Liens, the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries obligated in respect of such Indebtedness and (v) as applied to Liens, the foregoing shall not apply to customary provisions in leases and other contracts restricting the assignment thereof.

(a) such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the obligations of the Borrower to pay principal of and interest on the Loans, the reimbursement obligation in respect of each LC Disbursement and all other amounts payable hereunder on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Lenders than the terms and conditions of the Senior Subordinated Note Indentures;

(b) such Indebtedness shall be an obligation of the Borrower only, and none of its Subsidiaries shall be contingently or otherwise obligated in respect thereof, unless

- 106 -

subordinated to the obligations of such Subsidiary to pay principal of and interest on the Loans, the reimbursement obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Lenders than the terms and conditions of the Senior Subordinated Note Indentures;

(c) the Net Available Proceeds of such Indebtedness shall be applied to (i) prepay Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(iv), (ii) repay or prepay Subordinated Indebtedness (in accordance with this Section 7.11) or Senior Unsecured Indebtedness (in accordance with Section 7.12) or (iii) finance one or more Acquisitions pursuant to Section 7.05(b);

(f) at the time of issuance of such Indebtedness, and after giving effect thereto, the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 7.10 (the determination of such ratios to be calculated under the assumption that such Indebtedness was issued, at the beginning of the respective period and that any other Indebtedness to be retired with the proceeds thereof was in fact retired on such date of issuance);

(g) at the time of such issuance, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder; and

(h) prior to such issuance the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect specified in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (e), (f) and (g) (and setting forth in reasonable detail the computations necessary to determine compliance with said clause (f)).

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value, or set apart any money for a sinking, defeasance or other analogous fund for, the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of, or make any voluntary payment or prepayment of the principal of or interest on, or any other amount owing in respect of, any Subordinated Indebtedness (or enter into any transaction that has a substantially similar effect), except that (i) the Borrower may make payments on the regularly-scheduled payment dates with respect to the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness as in effect on the date hereof (or, as to any Subordinated Indebtedness issued after the date hereof, as originally in effect) and (ii) so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or will occur as a result of such payment), from the proceeds of other Subordinated Indebtedness issued in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section, the Borrower may redeem or prepay such Subordinated Indebtedness.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will consent to any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the provisions of any Senior Unsecured Indebtedness if such amendment, supplement or waiver could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on (x) the legal ability or financial capacity of any Obligor to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party or (y) the rights of or benefits available to the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.

The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.

Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and not to be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Without the authorization of the Required Lenders, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall send to the Borrower or the Trustee under the Senior Subordinated Note Indentures any notice of a Default or Event of Default hereunder if such notice would result in a payment block in respect of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

The Administrative Agent in its capacity as trustee or otherwise under any Foreign Pledge Agreement:

(a) shall not be liable for any failure, omission, or defect in perfecting the security constituted or created by such Foreign Pledge Agreement including, without limitation, any failure to (i) register the same in accordance with the provisions of any of the documents of title of the Chargor (as defined in the U.K. Equity Pledge Agreement) to any of the assets thereby charged or (ii) effect or procure registration of or otherwise protect the security created by this deed under any registration laws in any jurisdiction;

- 113 -

(b) may accept without inquiry such title as the Chargor (as defined in the U.K. Equity Pledge Agreements) or the Mortgagor (as defined in each Australian Equity Pledge Agreement) may have to the Shares (as so respectively defined); and

(c) shall not be under any obligation to hold any title deed or any other documents in connection with any Foreign Pledge Agreement or to take any steps to protect or preserve the same. The Administrative Agent may permit the Chargor (as defined in the U.K. Equity Pledge Agreements) or the Mortgagor (as defined in each Australian Equity Pledge Agreement) to retain all such title deeds and other documents in its possession.

Except as otherwise provided in the Foreign Pledge Agreements, all moneys which under the trusts therein contained are received by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as trustee or otherwise may be invested in the name of or under the control of the Administrative Agent in any investment for the time being authorized by English law (in the case of the U.K. Equity Pledge Agreements), Australian law (in the case of the Australian Equity Pledge Agreements), Luxembourg law (in the case of the Luxembourg Equity Pledge Agreement) or New Zealand Law (in the case of the New Zealand Equity Pledge Agreements), in each case for the investment by trustees of trust money or in any other investments which may be selected by the Administrative Agent. Additionally, the same may be placed on deposit in the name of or under the control of the Administrative Agent at such bank or institution (including JPMorgan Chase) and upon such terms as the Administrative Agent may think fit.

SECTION 10.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such scheduled payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts

- 115 -

hereunder shall be applied as among the Lenders or Types or Classes of Loans, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender or (vi) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under Article III without the written consent of each Lender; and provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (y) any modification or supplement of Article III shall require the consent of each Subsidiary Guarantor and (z) subject to the foregoing clause (vi), any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released from its guarantee obligations under Article III if such Subsidiary Guarantor is the subject of a Disposition permitted by this Agreement or if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Inactive Subsidiary (and any other release of a Subsidiary Guarantor not described in the foregoing clause (vi) may be effected only with the consent of the Required Lenders).

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect (either immediately or at some later time) of enabling the Borrower to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Loan of any Class shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class for purposes of the Commitments of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification, and no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification.

(c) Amendments to Security Documents. No Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, nor may the Liens thereof be spread to secure any additional or other obligations (excluding any Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to Section 2.01(e), but including any other increase in Loans hereunder) of the Obligors except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower or any Subsidiary party thereto, and by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, (i) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release the Borrower or all or substantially all of its Subsidiaries from their respective obligations under the Security Documents and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens created under the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional or other obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations hereunder) with respect to all or substantially all of the collateral security provided thereby, except that (A) no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors), to release any Lien covering property (and to release any such Subsidiary Guarantor) that is the subject of either a Disposition permitted hereunder or a Disposition to which the Required Lenders have

- 116 -

consented and (B) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement 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 any Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof, provided that to the extent that the costs and expenses referred to in this clause (iii) consist of fees, costs and expenses of counsel, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such fees, costs and expenses for only two counsel acting for the Lenders (in addition to any counsel for the Administrative Agent) and (iv) and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent

- 117 -

jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Assignments 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 (i) (unless in connection with a transaction expressly permitted under Section 7.03) no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Obligor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Participants referred to in paragraph (e) below and the directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and trustees of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders.

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

- 118 -

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (x) to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (y) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VIII, to any other assignee or (z) in connection with the syndication contemplated by the Commitment Letter;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the Issuing Lender, provided that no such consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required for the assignment of any Term Loan.

(ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure, the amount of the Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S.$5,000,000 (or, in the case of any assignment of a Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment, U.S.$1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VIII;

(B) each partial assignment of any Commitment, Loan, LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Commitment, Loan, LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S.$3,500 payable by the assigning Lender; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning

- 119 -

Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 hereof). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04.

(c) Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment(s) of, and principal amount of the Loan(s), LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure held by, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s), Loan(s), LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure held by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may

- 120 -

provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) hereof that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 hereof to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 hereof as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) hereof as though it were a Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System that (a) has purchased a participation from CoBank in the minimum amount of U.S.$10,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (b) is, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (“Voting Participant Notification”), designated by CoBank as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System so designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (c) receives the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of CoBank shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (i) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of an assignee as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (ii) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph.

(f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 hereof than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or a Farm Credit Bank, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 10.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Commitment, Loan, LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender.

- 121 -

(i) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or (ii) the Borrower shall seek any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Security Document that shall require under Section 10.02 (or the terms of such Security Document) the consent of each Lender, and any Lender shall not consent thereto at a time when Lenders having Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments representing at least 66²/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at such time have so consented thereto, then the Borrower may, with respect to any such Lender identified in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) (in any case, a “Subject Lender”), at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Subject Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Subject Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Subject Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Subject Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Subject Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation under this Section 10.04(i) cease to apply.

SECTION 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 3.03 and 10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the

- 122 -

Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and 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 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Commitment Letter, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or the Commitment shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Commitment Letter against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement constitutes one of the successive renewals, substitutions, refinancings or replacements of the “Credit Agreement” referred to in each of the indentures listed in Part A of Schedule I, and that, accordingly, this Agreement constitutes the “Credit Agreement” under and as defined in each such indenture.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that compliance by the Borrower with any provision of Article VI or VII would violate or conflict with any provision of the Existing Credit Agreement, then such provision of Article VI or VII (as applicable) shall have no force or effect until on and after the Effective Date.

SECTION 10.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 10.15. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or an Alternative Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and any payment in New York County or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, 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 due hereunder in the Second Currency to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against, and to pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

SECTION 10.16. Cleanup Period. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that if, at any time during the period (herein, the “Cleanup Period”) commencing on the date hereof through but not including the 180^th day following the Effective Date, (i) Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail (or the Borrower shall fail to cause Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries) to comply with any of the covenants herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) if any of the representations or warranties made herein or in any of the other

- 126 -

Loan Documents (or in any report, financial statement, certificate or other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith) with respect to Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect or (iii) any event or condition that constitutes a default or an event of default under any Vincor Agreement occurs as a result of or in connection with the Vincor Acquisition or Vincor or any of its Subsidiaries is otherwise in breach or violation of any Vincor Agreement, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such failure to comply with covenants (other than any such failure that is caused or authorized by the Borrower, it being understood that mere knowledge of a failure to comply shall not constitute authorization for purposes hereof), any such incorrectness with respect to representations or warranties and any such default, event of default, breach or violation shall not constitute (x) a Default or Event of Default hereunder or (y) a failure by the Borrower to have satisfied any of the conditions in Section 5.02 or 5.04, in each case until after the expiration of the Cleanup Period (and then only to the extent that the same is continuing).

SECTION 10.17. Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender) shall become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender and the Borrower and, by executing its Lender Addendum, each such Lender agrees to be bound by the provisions hereof with the Commitments set forth opposite its name in such Lender Addendum.
