Company and Administrative Agent shall enter into an amendment reflecting the foregoing on or before the date of such Rollover Conversion (the “Rollover Amendment”).

2.2 Notes.

(a) Evidence of Indebtedness.  At the request of any Lender, Company’s obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all the Loans made to it by such Lender shall be evidenced, (1) if Bridge Loans, by a promissory note (each, a “Bridge Note” and, collectively, the “Bridge Notes”) duly executed and delivered by Company substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a)(1) hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith, and (2) if Rollover Loans, by a promissory note (each, a “Rollover Note” and, collectively, the “Rollover Notes”) duly executed and delivered by Company substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a)(2) hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith.

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

2.3 Maximum Number of Eurocurrency Loans.  Unless approved by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, at no time shall there be outstanding more than twelve Interest Periods of Eurocurrency Loans.

47

2.4 [Reserved].

2.5 Notice of Borrowing.  Whenever Company desires to make a Borrowing of a Bridge Loan hereunder, Company shall deliver a written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5 hereto (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) to Administrative Agent at its Notice Address at least three Business Days before the anticipated Funding Date of any such Bridge Loan, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time); provided, however, that a Notice of Borrowing may, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, be delivered later than the time specified above.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable, shall be deemed a representation by Company that all conditions precedent to such Borrowing have been satisfied and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans to be made, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto (provided that if Company shall have failed to specify the Interest Period of such Bridge Loans (and shall not have promptly responded to Administrative Agent’s request for such information), Company shall be deemed to have requested an Interest Period of one month).  Administrative Agent shall as promptly as practicable give each Lender written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing.  Without in any way limiting Company and Company’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of Company prior to receipt of written confirmation.  Administrative Agent’s records shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Company with respect to evidence of the time and terms of such telephonic Notice of Borrowing.

2.6 Continuation.  Company may elect at the end of any Interest Period with respect thereto, to continue Bridge Loans for an additional Interest Period.  Each continuation of Bridge Loans shall be allocated among the Bridge Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.  Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.6 hereto (a “Notice of Continuation”) and shall be made by giving Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Notice Address given not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) specifying (i) the amount and type of continuation and (ii) the Interest Period therefor. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.6, Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Continuation from Company containing a permitted election to continue any Bridge Loans for an additional Interest Period, then, upon the expiration of the Interest Period therefor, such Bridge Loans will be automatically continued with an Interest Period of one month.  Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable.

2.7 Disbursement of Funds.  No later than 12:00 p.m. (London time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of Bridge Loans requested to be made on such date in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office and Administrative Agent will make available to Company at its Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time).  Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender at least one Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to

48

Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the Bridge Loans to be made on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Company a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of Borrowing, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and, if so notified, Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from Company interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Company to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the rate for Eurocurrency Loans applicable during the period in question; provided, however, that any interest paid to Administrative Agent in respect of such corresponding amount shall be credited against interest payable by Company to such Lender under Section 3.1 in respect of such corresponding amount.  Any amount due hereunder to Administrative Agent from any Lender which is not paid when due shall bear interest payable by such Lender, from the date due until the date paid, at Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for the first three days after the date such amount is due and thereafter at such cost of funds rate plus 1%, together with Administrative Agent’s standard interbank processing fee.  Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder first to Administrative Agent to fund any outstanding Loans made available on behalf of such Lender by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7 until such Loans have been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise) and then to fund Loans of all Lenders other than such Lender until each Lender has outstanding Loans equal to its Pro Rata Share of all Loans (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).  Such Lender shall not have recourse against Company with respect to any amounts paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the preceding sentence, provided that such Lender shall have full recourse against Company to the extent of the amount of such Loans it has so been deemed to have made.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights which Company may have against the Lender as a result of any failure to fund or other default by such Lender hereunder.

2.8 Exchange Notes.

(a) Subject to satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2.8 and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, at any time after the date of the Rollover Conversion (each, an “Exchange Date”), at the option of the applicable Lender, the Rollover Loans of such Lender may be exchanged for exchange notes (individually, an “Exchange Note” and collectively, the “Exchange Notes”) in a Sterling for Dollar or a Sterling for Euro exchange at par value for an equal principal amount of all or a portion of its outstanding Rollover Loans hereunder, in each case, based on the Exchange Rate at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Exchange Date; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s Rollover Loans shall only be exchanged for Exchange Notes hereunder following the

49

occurrence of an Exchange Trigger Event, (ii) Administrative Agent shall provide Company and the Lenders written notice of the occurrence of an Exchange Trigger Event (an “Exchange Trigger Event Notice”) five days (ten days in the case of notice of the occurrence of the first Exchange Trigger Event) prior to an Exchange Date for such Lender’s Rollover Loans to be exchanged for Exchange Notes on such Exchange Date (an “Exchange Event”) and the Exchange Event shall occur on such fifth or tenth day, as applicable, after such Exchange Trigger Event Notice and (iii) Company shall not be required to effectuate more than two Exchange Events in any calendar month.

(b) Such Lender shall provide Administrative Agent prior written notice of such election (an “Exchange Notice”), at least five Business Days prior to an Exchange Date (ten Business Days if the notice is provided prior to the first Exchange Trigger Event Notice) (or such shorter period as agreed to by Administrative Agent), with a copy to the Exchange Note Trustee.  Each Lender’s Exchange Notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Rollover Loans that such Lender desires to exchange for Exchange Notes pursuant to this Section 2.8, which shall be in a minimum amount of £5,000,000 (and integral multiples of £500,000 in excess thereof), or, if less, all outstanding remaining Rollover Loans. Such Exchange Notes shall bear interest at the Total Cap.

(c) On each Exchange Date, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender any accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender’s Rollover Loans being exchanged for Exchange Notes on such date.  On each Exchange Date, Company shall execute and deliver, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Note Trustee to authenticate and deliver an Exchange Note in the principal amount equal to 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Rollover Loans (or portion thereof) for which each such Exchange Note is being exchanged.  The Exchange Notes shall be governed by the Exchange Note Indenture.  Upon issuance of the Exchange Notes in accordance with this Section 2.8, a corresponding amount of the Rollover Loans of such exchanging Lenders shall be deemed to have been cancelled.  If a Default (but not an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Exchange Date, any notices given or cure periods commenced while the Rollover Loans were outstanding shall be deemed given or commenced (as of the actual dates thereof) for all purposes with respect to the Exchange Notes (with the same effect as if the Exchange Notes had been outstanding as of the actual dates thereof).

(d) Company shall, and shall cause each applicable Credit Party to, as promptly as reasonably practicable after being requested to do so by one or more of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any time following the first Exchange Trigger Event and no later than the applicable Exchange Date, (i) select a bank or trust company to act as Exchange Note Trustee, (ii) enter into the Exchange Note Indenture and an exchange agreement containing provisions customary for Rule 144A transactions with registration rights, (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lead Arrangers such legal opinions and accountants’ “comfort letters” addressed to the Lead Arrangers, 10b-5 letters covering such customary matters as reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers and such certificates as the Lead Arrangers may request as would be customary in Rule

50

144A offerings with registration rights, (iv) deliver a customary offering memorandum relating to the sale of Exchange Notes in accordance with Rule 144A of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act containing such disclosures as are customary for such a document and (v) take such other actions, and cause its advisors, auditors and counsel to take such actions, as reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers in connection with issuances or resales of Exchange Notes.  The Exchange Note Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, in good standing, that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than £500,000,000.

(e) It is understood and agreed that the Rollover Loans exchanged for Exchange Notes constitute the same Indebtedness as such Exchange Notes and that no novation shall be effected by any such exchange.

(f) The Exchange Notes shall have a make-whole premium, guarantees, covenants and events of default substantially similar to those contained in the Senior Notes (2023) Indenture (as reasonably determined by Company and Administrative Agent).

2.9 [Reserved].

2.10 [Reserved].

2.11 Pro Rata Borrowings.  Borrowings of Bridge Loans under this Agreement shall be loaned by the applicable Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments.  No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Bridge Loans hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Bridge Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its Commitments hereunder.

ARTICLE III

INTEREST AND FEES

3.1 Interest.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Interest Rate.  Company agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of Loans from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to Company until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan, (i) in the case of Bridge Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that if the Eurocurrency Rate is not available under the circumstances described in Section 3.6(b)(i), then the interest of such Bridge Loan shall be at a rate equal to the Cost of Funds until such time as the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period becomes available; provided, further, that the interest rate per annum applicable to Bridge Loans shall not exceed the Total Cap (exclusive of any default interest described in Section 3.1(e)) and (ii) in the case of Rollover Loans, in an amount per annum equal to the Total Cap.

51

(c) Payment of Interest.  Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest accruing pursuant to Section 3.1(e) shall be payable from time to time on demand.  Interest shall also be payable on all then outstanding (i) Bridge Loans on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, (ii) Rollover Loans on the Rollover Maturity Date and (iii) on all Loans on the date of repayment (including prepayment) thereof and on the date of maturity (by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loans.  During the existence of any Event of Default, interest on any Loan shall be payable on demand.

(d) Notification of Rate.  Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify Company and the Lenders thereof.  Such determination shall, absent manifest error and subject to Section 3.6, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.

(e) Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified herein, effective on the date 30 days after the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default (other than the failure to pay Obligations when due or the occurrence of an Event of Default under either Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f) hereunder) and for so long thereafter as any such Event of Default shall be continuing, and effective immediately upon any failure to pay any Obligations or any other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents when due or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f), whether by acceleration or otherwise, the principal balance of each Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payment on each Loan not paid when due or other amounts then due and payable shall bear interest payable on demand, after as well as before judgment at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(f) Maximum Interest.  If any interest payment or other charge or fee payable hereunder exceeds the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law, Company shall be obligated to pay the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law and Company shall continue to pay the maximum amount from time to time permitted by applicable law until all such interest payments and other charges and fees otherwise due hereunder (in the absence of such restraint imposed by applicable law) have been paid in full.

3.2 Fees.

Company shall pay to the Agents and the Lead Arrangers such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing, including in the Syndication & Fee Letter, in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

3.3 Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest on all Loans and fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.  Each determination of an interest rate by Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  Administrative Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon request of Company, deliver to Company a

52

statement showing the quotations used by Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

3.4 Interest Periods.  At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation, Company shall elect, by giving Administrative Agent written notice, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) which Interest Period shall, at the option of Company, be one, two, three or six months (or, (x) if available to each of the applicable Lenders (as determined by each such applicable Lender in its sole discretion) a twelve month period or (y) in the discretion of Administrative Agent, a period of less than one month); provided that:

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

(b) the initial Interest Period shall commence on the date of such Borrowing and each Interest Period occurring thereafter shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period;

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

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

(e) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Rollover Loan Maturity Date.

3.5 Compensation for Funding Losses.  Company shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurocurrency Loans to the extent not recovered by the Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds and including the compensation payable by such Lender to a Participant) and any loss sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds (including, without limitation, a return on such liquidation or re-employment that would result in such Lender receiving less than it would have received had such Eurocurrency Loan remained outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Loans, but excluding Excluded Taxes) which such Lender may sustain as a result of:

(a) for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or Administrative Agent) a continuation or a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans does not occur on a

53

date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation (whether or not withdrawn);

(b) any payment, prepayment or continuation of any of its Eurocurrency Loans occurring for any reason whatsoever on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto;

(c) any repayment of any of its Eurocurrency Loans not being made on the date specified in a notice of payment given by Company; or

(d) (i) any other failure by Company to repay Company’s Eurocurrency Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (ii) an election made by Company pursuant to Section 3.7.  A written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the incurrence of  additional amounts owed such Lender under this Section 3.5 and delivered to Company and Administrative Agent by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.  Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.5 shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded its relevant Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a Eurocurrency deposit bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurocurrency deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurocurrency Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 3.5.

3.6 Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

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

(i) in connection with any request for any Eurocurrency Loan continuations that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurocurrency market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurocurrency Rate; or

(ii) at any time that any Lender shall incur increased costs (except for costs resulting from a change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender) or reduction in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan because of (x) any Change in Law having general applicability to all comparably situated Lenders within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates since the date of this Agreement such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) Taxes imposed on or with respect to any Lender on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (except

54

for (1) changes in the basis of taxation of or rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, Excluded Taxes and (2) taxes and other amounts that are the subject of Section 4.7; provided, further, that if such increased costs are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment to have been imposed as a result of a Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Lender will promptly repay to Company the amount of any increased costs paid to such Lender by Company under this Section 3.6) or (B) a change in official reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements by any Governmental Authority (but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurocurrency Rate) and/or (y) other circumstances since the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the interbank Eurocurrency market or the position of such Lender in such market (excluding, however, differences in a Lender’s cost of funds from those of Administrative Agent which are solely the result of credit differences between such Lender and Administrative Agent); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law, directive or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurocurrency market,

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be available until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation given by Company with respect to Eurocurrency Loans shall thereafter bear interest at a rate equal to the Cost of Funds, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, Company shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (any written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the reasonable basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to Company by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto; however the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish Company’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6; provided that such amounts shall be proportionate to the amounts that such Lender charges other borrowers or account parties for such additional costs incurred or reductions suffered on loans similarly situated to Company in connection with substantially similar facilities as reasonably determined by such Lender acting in good faith; provided, further, that no Lender shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6 for periods occurring prior to the 180th day before the giving of such notice) and (z) in the case of

55

clause (iii) above, Company shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.6(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.  In determining such additional amounts pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and will, to the extent the increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable relate to such Lender’s loans in general and are not specifically attributable to a Loan hereunder, use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which cover all loans similar to the Loans made by such Lender whether or not the loan documentation for such other loans permits the Lender to receive increased costs of the type described in this Section 3.6(a).

(b) Affected Loans.  At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.6(a)(i) or (iii), Company may either (i) if the affected Loan is then being made initially by giving Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that Company was notified by the affected Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(i) or (iii), elect that the Loans under such Borrowing accrue at the Cost of Funds, or (ii) if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Loan into a Loan that accrues at the Cost of Funds, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.6(b).

(c) Capital Requirements.  Without duplication of Section 3.6(a) hereof, if any Lender determines that any Change in Law by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then Company shall pay to such Lender within 15 days after receipt by Company of written demand by such Lender in accordance with the provisions hereof such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital or liquidity; provided that such amounts shall be proportionate to the amounts that such Lender charges other borrowers or account parties for such additional costs incurred or reductions suffered on loans or letters of credit, as the case may be, similarly situated to Company in connection with substantially similar facilities as reasonably determined by such Lender, acting in good faith.

(d) Certificates for Reimbursement.  In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which will, to the extent the increased costs or reduction in the rate of return relates to such Lender’s commitments, loans or obligations in general and are not specifically attributable to the Commitments, Loans and obligations hereunder, cover all commitments, loans and obligations similar to the Commitments, Loans and obligations of such Lender hereunder whether or not the loan documentation for such other commitments, loans or obligations permits the Lender to make the determination specified in this Section 3.6. Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.  Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be

56

payable pursuant to this Section 3.6, will give prompt written notice thereof to Company, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of Company’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6 (provided that no Lender shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6 for periods occurring prior to the 135th day before the giving of such notice); except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 135 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive affect thereof).

(e) Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender which is or will be owed compensation pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (c) will, if requested by Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to cause a different branch or Affiliate to make or continue a Loan or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its branches or Affiliates if in the judgment of such Lender such designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation to such Lender and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous in any significant respect to such Lender.  Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any Lender in utilizing a different branch or Affiliate pursuant to this Section 3.6(e).  Nothing in this Section 3.6(e) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Company or the right of any Lender provided for herein.

3.7 Replacement of Affected Lenders.  (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its Obligations to make Loans, (b) if any Lender is owed increased costs under Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii) or Section 3.6(c), or Company are required to make any payments under Section 4.7 to any Lender that Company determines are materially in excess of those to the other Lenders or (c) as provided in Section 12.1(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed amendment, changes, supplements, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, Company shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and to require each such Replaced Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.8(c)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to such Replacement Lender, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more assignment agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and (ii) all obligations of Company owing to the Replaced Lender (including, without limitation, such increased costs and excluding those amounts and obligations specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.  Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, entry into the Register and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement

57

Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by Company, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS;
PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

4.1 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments; Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Voluntary Reduction of Commitments.  Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender in writing), Company shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the unutilized portion of the Commitments in part or in whole, provided that:

(i) any such voluntary termination of the Commitments shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Commitment of each Lender;

(ii) any partial voluntary reduction pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be in the amount of at least £10,000,000 and integral multiples of £5,000,000 in excess of that amount; and

(iii) during the Certain Funds Period, no such reduction shall be effective unless:

(1) Company or Purchaser shall have entered into one or more agreements for the provision of debt financing in an amount at least equal to the amount of such reduction for the purposes of financing the Target Acquisition; or

(2) Company shall have deposited cash denominated in (x) Sterling or (y) another currency (provided that in the event that cash in another currency is deposited with the Escrow Agent, Company or Purchaser shall have entered into an Other Hedging Agreement to convert such currency into Sterling on or prior to each date on which Purchaser may be required to make any payment in respect of Target Shares in connection with the Target Acquisition), in each case in an amount at least equal to the amount of such reduction with the Escrow Agent on the terms set forth in Section 4.4(d),

and the Cash Confirmation Provider has confirmed in writing its approval of the arrangements set forth in (1) or (2) above (including any escrow arrangement), as applicable, and such reduction of Commitments.

(ii) Each Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes, together with any interest, penalties and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses associated with such Excluded Tax) and any taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 4.7(c)(ii), attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent, whether or not such Excluded 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 any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorize Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 4.7.  The agreements in this Section 4.7 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent.  Company shall also indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount attributable to Excluded Taxes, together with any interest, penalties and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses associated with such Excluded Tax) and any taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 4.7(c)(ii), in each case, arising under FATCA which a Lender for any

68

70

or maintaining of such Loans (or portions thereof) through such other lending office would not be otherwise significantly disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Credit Party agrees to  pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any Lender in utilizing another lending office of such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.7(e).

or Event of Default unless requested to do so by the Required Lenders.  Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals (including the failure to act or approve) which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable.  Further, Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting, approving or refraining from acting or approving under any of the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or, to the extent required by Section 12.1, all of the Lenders.

11.4 Reliance.  Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, writing, resolution notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone, telex, teletype, telecopier or electronic mail message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining herein or to any of the other Loan Documents and their duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by Agent, independent accountants or other experts selected by Agent and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

For purposes hereof, “Aggregate Pro Rata Share” means, when used with reference to any Lender and any described aggregate or total amount, an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying such desired aggregate or total amount by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loan and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of all of the Loans outstanding hereunder.

117

11.6 Administrative Agent In Its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its Loans and Commitments (and its Pro Rata Share thereof), Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and are subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or holder of Obligations.  The terms “Lenders”, “holder of Obligations” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agents in their individual capacity as a Lender, one of the Required Lenders or a holder of Obligations.  Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of Company as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the acceptance of fees or other consideration for services without having to account for the same to any of the Lenders.

11.7 Notice of Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default hereunder unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Company referring to this Agreement describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

11.8 Holders of Obligations.  Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Obligation as reflected on the books and records of Agent as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent pursuant to Section 12.8(c). Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Obligation shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Obligation or of any Obligation or Obligations granted in exchange therefor.

11.9 Resignation by Administrative Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to Company and the Lenders.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall be satisfactory to Company and shall be an incorporated bank or trust company.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, Administrative Agent, with the consent of Company, shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of Company, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

118

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) by the thirtieth (30th) Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by Administrative Agent, Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of Company, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

11.10 The Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of “Agents” as provided for under Section 11.5.  Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.1, if Administrative Agent and Company shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error,

122

agreed by Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.  Administrative Agent or Company may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

12.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification.

(a) Generally.  Company agrees to pay promptly upon request by Administrative Agent (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery and syndication of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of only one counsel to Administrative Agent and one additional local counsel in each jurisdiction where applicable in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents executed on the Effective Date or required to be executed or delivered pursuant to Section 7.14 unless Company otherwise agrees) and any amendment, waiver, consent relating hereto or thereto or other modifications of (or supplements to) any of the foregoing, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of White & Case LLP, local and foreign counsel to Administrative Agent relative thereto, and independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all reasonable search fees, and expenses, filing and recording fees and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of only one primary counsel and one local counsel in each jurisdiction where applicable for Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, plus one additional counsel where necessary in the event of a conflict of interest). Company acknowledges that Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lead Arrangers may receive a benefit, including without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any such counsel based on the fees such counsel

123

may receive on account of their relationship with Administrative Agent, the Lenders and/or the Lead Arrangers, including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto.

(b) Other Fees and Expenses.  In addition, Company agrees to pay any and all present and future stamp, transfer, excise, registration, court, documentary, intangible, recording, filing and other similar taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, and each agrees to save and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay by Company in paying, or omission by Company to pay, such taxes, excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from a transfer, assignment or grant of a participation by a Lender or Administrative Agent (other than any transfer or assignment pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 4.7(e)).  Any portion of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses which remains unpaid more than thirty (30) days following Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s statement and the due date thereof shall bear interest from the date of such due date at the Default Rate.

(c) Indemnification.  Company agrees jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless Lead Arrangers, Bookrunners, Administrative Agent and each Lender and each partner, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney and Affiliate of Administrative Agent and each Lender (each such Person an “Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against all losses, claims, damages, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), reasonable expenses or liabilities (not including taxes that are the subject matter of Section 4.7 hereof) (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any counsel for any Indemnified Person) to which such Indemnified Person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, penalties, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), reasonable expenses or liabilities (or actions, suits or proceedings including any investigation or claims in respect thereof (whether or not Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto)) arise out of, in any way relate to, or result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that:

(i) no Indemnified Person shall have the right to be so indemnified hereunder for any loss, claim, damage, penalties, obligations, expense or liability to the extent it (A) arises or results from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Person’s partner, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney or Affiliate or from such Indemnified Person’s (or such Indemnified Person’s partner’s, director’s, officer’s, employee’s, agent’s, attorney’s or Affiliate’s) material breach of its obligations under this Agreement as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) arises out of a dispute solely among Indemnified Persons (and not involving Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) and not resulting from any act or omission by Company or any of its Affiliates; and

(ii) nothing contained herein shall affect the express contractual obligations of the Lenders to Company contained herein.

124

If any action, suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.4, Company will, if requested by Administrative Agent, any Lender or any such Indemnified Person, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified.  The Indemnified Persons shall, unless Administrative Agent, a Lender or other Indemnified Person has made the request described in the preceding sentence and such request has been complied with, have the right to employ their own counsel (or (but not as well as) staff counsel) to investigate and control the defense of any matter covered by such indemnity and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that in any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, Company shall not be liable for reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel), which counsel shall be designated by Administrative Agent provided, further, however, that each Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such inquiry, action, claim or proceeding and to control the defense thereof, and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Company if (i) Company shall have agreed in writing to pay such reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses or (ii) such Indemnified Person shall have notified Company that it has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the other Indemnified Persons and that such common representation would adversely impact the adequacy of the proposed representation.  Excluding any losses, costs, liabilities or damages arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, Company agrees to indemnify and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from all loss, reasonable out-of-pocket cost (including Attorney Costs), liability and damage whatsoever incurred by any Indemnified Person by reason of any violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or for the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material by Company or any of its Subsidiaries or which occurred at or migrated from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by or on behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or by reason of the imposition of any Environmental Lien or which occurs by a breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants relating to environmental matters contained herein, provided that with respect to any liabilities arising from acts or failure to act for which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is strictly liable under any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, Company’s obligation to each Indemnified Person under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of Company or any such Subsidiary.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Indemnified Person as set forth in this Section 12.4 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.  The obligations of Company under this Section 12.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Company’s other Obligations hereunder.

125

(d) Foreign Exchange Indemnity.  If any sum due from Company under this Agreement or any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable hereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim or proof against Company with any Governmental Authority or in any court or tribunal, or (ii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such sum is due from and against any loss actually suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used to convert the amount in question from the first currency into the second currency, and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Person, acting in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner, purchased the first currency with the second currency after receipt of a sum paid to it in the second currency in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof.  The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of Company distinct from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such other obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of principal and interest on Loans shall be made in Sterling.

12.5 Confirmations.  Company and each holder of any portion of the Obligations agrees from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan or Loans and other Obligations then outstanding.

12.6 Adjustment; Setoff.

(a) If any lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f) hereof, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each Lender; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Company agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Company, any such notice being expressly waived by Company, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to setoff and apply against any Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, of Company

126

or any Credit Party to such Lender, any amount owing from such Lender to Company or Credit Party, at or at any time after, the happening of any of the above-mentioned events, and the aforesaid right of setoff may be exercised by such Lender against Company or Credit Party or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, administrator, administrative receiver, court appointed monitor or other similar official, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Company or Credit Party, or against anyone else claiming through or against, Company or Credit Party or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, administrator, administrative receiver, court appointed monitor or other similar official, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of setoff shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, court appointed monitor or other similar official, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Company and Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application and provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(b) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

(c) Company expressly agrees that to the extent Company makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, court appointed monitor or other similar official, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law, rule, regulation or equitable cause in any jurisdiction, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Indebtedness to the Lenders or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.

12.7 Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New

000

Xxxx Xxxxx Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.8 Binding Effect; Assignment; Addition and Substitution of Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Company, Administrative Agent, the Lenders, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Lenders and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.8.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, including Section 12.8(c), no Lender may assign any portion of its undrawn Commitment under this Agreement to any Person during the Certain Funds Period unless such Lender has assigned its Commitment or portion thereof to another bank or financial institution, in each case, whose senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness has, on any date of determination, a rating by S&P and Xxxxx’x of, respectively, BBB and Baa2, or higher, and such bank or other financial institution has become a party to this Agreement as a Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  During the Certain Funds Period, no Initial Lender shall assign any portion of its undrawn Commitment if, after giving effect to any such assignment, such Initial Lender would hold less than fifty point one percent (50.1%) of its Commitments under this Agreement on the Effective Date.

(b) Each Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Commitment and Loans or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (in respect of any Lender, its “Credit Exposure”).  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and Company and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  At the time of the sale of a participating interest, the Lender transferring the interest (i) shall cause the Participant to provide the forms required under Section 4.7(d), if applicable, as if such Participant became a Lender on the date of the sale and (ii) shall, if required under applicable law, deliver revised forms in accordance Section 4.7(d) reflecting the portion of the interest sold and the portion of the interest retained.  Further, the Participant shall be subject to the obligations of Section 3.6 and Section 4.7 as if such Participant was a Lender.  Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in Section 12.6.  Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of

128

Section 3.6 and Section 4.7 with respect to its participation in the Loans outstanding from time to time, as if such Participant becomes a Lender on the date it acquired an interest pursuant to this Section 12.8(b); provided that no participation shall be made to any Person under this section if, at the time of such participation, the Participant’s benefits under Section 3.6 or Section 4.7 would be greater than the benefits that the participating Lender was entitled to under Section 3.6 or Section 4.7 (and if any participation is made in violation of the foregoing, the Participant will not be entitled to the incremental amounts).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  Each Lender agrees that any agreement between such Lender and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not, except with the consent of Administrative Agent and Company, restrict such Lender’s right to approve or agree to any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to, waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except to the extent that any of the forgoing would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such Participant is participating beyond the Bridge Loan Maturity Date or Rollover Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees on any such Loan or Note (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, representations, warranties, Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, including an Affiliate of such Lender (which Affiliate, in the case of Credit Exposure under the Loans or Commitments, otherwise meets the definition of “Eligible Assignee”) (each an “Assignee”), all or any part of its Credit Exposure pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that no assignment shall be made to any Person under this Section 12.8(c) if, at the time of such assignment, the Assignee’s benefits under Section 3.6 or Section 4.7 would

129

be greater than the benefits that the assigning Lender was entitled to under Section 3.6 or Section 4.7 (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Assignee will not be entitled to the incremental amounts) and provided, further, that any assignment of all or any portion of any Lender’s Credit Exposure to an Assignee other than an Affiliate of such Lender or another Lender, or in the case of a Lender that is a Fund, any Related Fund of any Lender (i) shall be an assignment of its Credit Exposure in an amount not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 (treating any Fund and its Related Funds as a single Eligible Assignee) (or if less the entire amount of Lender’s Credit Exposure, provided that if such Lender and its Affiliates (or in the case of a Fund and its Related Funds) collectively hold Credit Exposure at least equal to such minimum amounts, such Affiliates and/or Related Funds must simultaneously assign Credit Exposure such that the aggregate Credit Exposure assigned satisfies such minimum amount) and (ii) shall require (x) the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and (y) during the Certain Funds Period so long as no Certain Funds Default and during any other period so long as no Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the consent in writing of Company (the consent of Company not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to assignments after the expiration of the Certain Funds Period); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, (x) after the expiration of the Certain Funds Period any Lender may at any time assign all or any part of its Credit Exposure to any Affiliate of such Lender or to any other Lender (or in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, to any Related Fund of such Lender) so long as such Affiliate, other Lender or Related Fund is an Eligible Assignee and (y) Xxxxxxx Sachs Bank USA may at any time assign all or any part of its Credit Exposure to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC.  Upon execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the payment of a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that no such fee shall be payable upon assignments by any Lender which is a Fund to one or more Related Funds and provided, further, that Company shall not in any event be required to pay any portion of such fee unless Company requests that a Lender be replaced pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.7) in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent at its Payment Office in connection with each such assignment, written notice thereof by such transferor Lender to Administrative Agent and the recording by Administrative Agent of such assignment and the resulting effect upon the Loans and the Commitment of the assigning Lender and the Assignee, the Assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder and the holder of the Obligations (provided that Company and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assignor Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to the Assignee until written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to Company and Administrative Agent by the assignor Lender and the Assignee) and, if the Assignee has expressly assumed, for the benefit of Company, some or all of the transferor Lender’s obligations hereunder, such transferor Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and assumption, and except as described above, no further consent or action by Company, the Lenders or Administrative Agent shall be required.  At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.8(c) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective Assignee shall provide to Company and Administrative Agent the appropriate forms and certificates as provided in Section 4.7(d), if applicable.  Each Assignee shall take such Credit Exposure subject

130

to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent and Company of written notice of such transfer, by each previous holder of such Credit Exposure.  Such Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement and Schedule 1.1(a) hereto, to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee as a Lender and the resulting adjustment of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement, the Commitment, the determination of its Pro Rata Share, as the case may be (in each case, rounded to twelve decimal places), the Loans and any new Notes, if requested, to be issued, at Company’s expense, to such Assignee, and no further consent or action by Company or the Lenders shall be required to effect such amendments.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or to any other central bank with jurisdiction over such Lender without notice to, or the consent of, Company, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest under this Section 12.8(d) shall release a Lender from any obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  Any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee.  No such pledge or assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.8, no Lender may assign or sell participations, or otherwise syndicate all or any portion of such lender’s interests under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Person who is (i) on any Sanctions List or (ii) either (x) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (y) designated under Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) or similarly designated under any related enabling legislation or any other similar Executive Orders.

12.9 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.  EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR

131

CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY, AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 12.3, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST EACH CREDIT PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT OR JURISDICTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE, IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR DIRECTLY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

12.10 [Reserved]

12.11 GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

12.12 Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.13 Transfers of Notes.  In the event that the holder of any Note (including any Lender) shall transfer such Note, it shall immediately advise Administrative Agent and Company of such transfer, and Administrative Agent and Company shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no transfer of any Note has been made by any holder (including any Lender) unless and until Administrative Agent and Company shall have received written notice to the contrary.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by all of the other parties hereto, no Lender shall, by reason of the transfer of a Note or otherwise, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder and any such transfer shall be in

132

accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents.  Each transferee of any Note shall take such Note subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent and Company of written notice of such transfer, by each previous holder of such Note, and, except as expressly otherwise provided in such transfer, Administrative Agent and Company shall be entitled conclusively to assume that the transferee named in such notice shall hereafter be vested with all rights and powers under this Agreement with respect to the Pro Rata Share of the Loans of the Lender named as the payee of the Note which is the subject of such transfer.

12.14 Registry.  Company hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as Company’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.14 to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitment from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans of each Lender.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and failure to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect Company’s obligations in respect of such Loans.  Company, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each registered holder as absolute owner.  With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.  The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitment and Loans shall be recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.8.  Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon, if requested by the assigning or transferor Lender or new Lender, one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount then owing to such assignor or transferor Lender shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender.

12.15 Euro Currency.

(a) The following provisions of this Section 12.15 shall come into effect on and from the date on which the United Kingdom becomes a Participating Member State.  Each obligation under this Agreement which has been denominated in Sterling shall be redenominated into Euros in accordance with the relevant EMU Legislation.  However if and to the extent that the relevant EMU Legislation provides that an amount which is denominated in Sterling can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or in that national currency unit, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any amount denominated or owing in Sterling hereunder either in Euros or in Sterling.  Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any relevant EMU Legislation, (i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Sterling shall be replaced

133

by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Euros as Administrative Agent may from time to time specify and (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 12.15, this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to Euros in the United Kingdom.

(b) Company agrees, at the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that such Lender shall reasonably determine shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as a result of the implementation of Section 12.15(a) that would not have been incurred or sustained by such Lender but for the transactions provided for herein.  A certificate of any such Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to Administrative Agent for delivery to Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made by such Lender on a reasonable basis.  Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

12.16 Headings.  The Table of Contents and Article and Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

12.17 Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Effective Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full.  No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which expressly survives such termination

12.18 Confidentiality.  Each of the Lenders severally agrees to keep confidential all non-public information pertaining to Company and its Subsidiaries which is provided to it by any such parties in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in a prudent fashion, and shall not disclose such information to any Person except:

(a) to the extent such information is public when received by such Lender or becomes public thereafter due to the act or omission of any party other than a Lender,

(b) to an Affiliate of such Lender, counsel or auditors of such Lender, accountants and other consultants, in connection with the Loan Documents, retained by Administrative Agent or any Lender,

(c) in connection with any litigation or the enforcement of the rights of any Lender or Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document,

134

(d) to the extent required by any applicable statute, rule or regulation or court order (including, without limitation, by way of subpoena) or pursuant to the request of any Governmental Authority having or asserting jurisdiction over any Lender or Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in such event, if the Lender(s) are able to do so, the Lender shall provide Company with prompt notice of such requested disclosure (other than in connection with routine examinations of such Lender by any such Governmental Authority) so that Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and, in any event, the Lenders will endeavor in good faith to provide only that portion of such information which, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender(s), is relevant and legally required to be provided, or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with rating issued with respect to such Lender.

(e) to the extent disclosure to other entities is appropriate in connection with any proposed or actual assignment, grant of a participation or swap agreement entered into by any of the Lenders with respect to interests in this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents to such other entities (who will in turn be required to maintain confidentiality as if they were Lenders parties to this Agreement).  In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any such information or other materials furnished by Company.

12.19 Concerning the Subsidiary Guaranties and the Loan Documents.

(a) Authority.  Each Lender authorizes and directs Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch to act as Administrative Agent under each of the Subsidiary Guaranties for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms, hereof, a different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such different proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

(b) Release of Subsidiary Guarantees.  Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby direct Administrative Agent to release, in the case of a sale, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Domestic Subsidiary owned by Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such sale, conveyance, transfer, liquidation or other disposition is permitted hereby (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited hereby), to release the affected Subsidiary from its Subsidiary Guaranty),

provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its opinion, would expose it to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Subsidiary Guaranty.

12.20 Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which Company and each of the Lenders party hereto shall have signed a counterpart of this

135

Agreement (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered to the same to Administrative Agent as the Notice Address (or to Administrative Agent’s counsel as directed by such counsel) or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to Administrative Agent or telephonic (confirmed in writing), written, telex or facsimile notice (actually received) at such office or the office of Administrative Agent’s counsel that the same has been signed and mailed to it.

12.21 USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each such Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.22 Restrictions on Guarantees.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Foreign Subsidiary shall provide any guarantees to secure the Obligations; provided that in the case of any Subsidiary organized under U.S. law that does not meet the definition of a “Domestic Subsidiary” by virtue of clauses (i) or (ii) in the definition thereof, such Subsidiary shall be treated as if it were a Foreign Subsidiary solely for the purposes of this Section 12.22.  For purposes of this Section 12.22, Subsidiary shall include any Unrestricted Entity.  The Credit Parties, Lenders and Administrative Agent agree that any guaranty or similar interest made or granted in contravention of this Section 12.22 shall be void ab initio.

12.23 Redesignation of Unrestricted Entities as Subsidiaries.  Any Unrestricted Entity that would be a Subsidiary but for the last sentence of the definition of Subsidiary may be redesignated by Company as a Subsidiary (with such redesignation being deemed to be an Acquisition by Company of such Subsidiary which shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Acquisition for purposes of Section 8.7) provided that (i) Company shall have delivered to Administrative Agent (not less than 30 days prior to the date Company desires such redesignation to be effective) a notice signed by a Responsible Officer identifying such Unrestricted Entity to be redesignated and providing such other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, (ii) immediately before and immediately after the effectiveness of such redesignation, no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists or will exist (including, without limitation, the permissibility of any Investment, Indebtedness, Liens or other obligations existing at such Subsidiaries), (iii) Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with the provisions of Section 7.12, (iv) Administrative Agent has received such other documents, instruments and opinions as it may reasonably request in connection with such redesignation, and all such instruments, documents and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent and (v) on the desired effective date of such redesignation, Company shall deliver a certificate from a Responsible Officer confirming clauses (ii) through (iv) above and that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on the date of, and after giving effect to, such redesignation as though made on such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are expressly made of a specified date in which event they shall be true as of such date).

136

12.24 No Fiduciary Responsibility.  Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that (i) none of the Agents nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Credit Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Company and the Credit Parties, on one hand, and the Agents and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor and (ii) each Agent, Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates.

FORM OF

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

See Attached.

1

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, dated as of [-], 20[-] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”), is made by each of the undersigned (each, a “Guarantor” and, together with any other entity that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 25 hereof, collectively, the “Guarantors”). Except as otherwise defined herein, terms used herein and defined in the Loan Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of February 19, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) by and among Ball Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent” and together with the Lenders, the “Creditors”), the Lenders have agreed to make Loans as contemplated therein;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a Domestic Subsidiary of Company;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Loan Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans under the Loan Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans by Company under the Loan Agreement and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Lenders to make Loans to Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees with each Creditor as follows:

1. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety to the Creditors the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of (A) the principal of and interest on the Notes issued by, and the Loans made to, Company under the Loan Agreement and (B) all other obligations (including, without limitation, all Obligations and all obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due) and liabilities owing by Company to the Creditors under the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, indemnities, fees and interest thereon) and the other Loan Documents to which Company is a party, whether now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Loan Agreement or any such other Loan Document and the due performance and compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents by Company (all such principal, interest, liabilities and obligations being herein collectively called the “Loan Document Obligations”); provided that the maximum amount payable by each Guarantor hereunder shall at no time exceed the Maximum Amount (as hereinafter defined) of such Guarantor. As used herein, “Maximum Amount” of any Guarantor means the lesser of the amount of the Loan Document Obligations and the highest amount of aggregate liability under this Guaranty which is valid and enforceable as

determined in any action or proceeding involving any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally. Subject to the proviso in the second preceding sentence, each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Loan Document Obligations against each Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor or Company, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of the Loan Document Obligations. All payments by each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made on the same basis, and subject to the same limitations, as payments by Company are made under the Loan Agreement, including Sections 4.6 and 4.7 thereof.

2. Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Loan Document Obligations of Company to the Creditors whether or not due or payable by Company upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 10.1(e) or (f) of the Loan Agreement with respect to Company, and unconditionally, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Loan Document Obligations of Company to the Creditors, or order, on demand, in Sterling.

3. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

4. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any other guaranty of the Loan Document Obligations of Company whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any direction as to application of payment by Company or by any other party, (ii) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Loan Document Obligations of Company, (iii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (iv) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by Company or any Guarantor or (v) any payment made to any Creditor on the Loan Document Obligations which any Creditor repays to Company or any Guarantor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding in any jurisdiction.

5. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or Company and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Company be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by Company or any other Guarantor or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to Company or any other Guarantor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

6. Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to which it may apply, promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by Administrative Agent or any other Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor or any other guarantor or Company).

7. Any Creditor may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) at any time and from time to time in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

2

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Loan Document Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (other than any agreement between any Creditor and one or more Guarantors specifically modifying or amending the terms of this Guaranty), and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Loan Document Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Loan Document Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Company or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more other endorsers or other guarantors who are liable for the Loan Document Obligations;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Loan Document Obligations or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of Company to its creditors other than the Creditors;

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

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Loan Documents (other than this Guaranty) or any of such other instruments or agreements in accordance with their respective terms; and/or

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

8. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Loan Document Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Loan Document Obligations.

9. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in

3

any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

10. Any indebtedness of Company now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of Company to the Creditors; and such indebtedness of Company to any Guarantor, if Administrative Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Creditors and be paid over to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Creditors on account of the Loan Document Obligations of Company to the Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Loan Document Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated (other than indemnity and other contingent obligations described in Section 12.4 of the Loan Agreement that expressly survive termination thereof and for which no claim has been asserted).

11. (a) Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any right to require the Creditors to: (i) proceed against Company, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Company or any other party; or (ii) pursue any other remedy in the Creditors’ power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Company, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Company or any other party other than payment in full of the Loan Document Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Company, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Company or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Loan Document Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Company other than payment in full of the Loan Document Obligations. The Creditors may, at their election and in accordance with Section 12 hereof, exercise any other right or remedy the Creditors may have against Company or any other party without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Loan Document Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated (other than indemnity and other contingent obligations described in Section 12.4 of the Loan Agreement that expressly survive termination thereof and for which no claim has been asserted).  Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against Company or any other party.

(b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of Company’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Loan Document Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

4

12. The Creditors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no other Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty. The Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder).

13. In order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans as provided in the Loan Agreement, each Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that:

(a) Such Guarantor (i) is a duly organized and validly existing organization in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (to the extent that such concept exists in such jurisdiction), (ii) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction) in (x) its jurisdiction of organization and (y) in each other jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except in the case of clause (y) where such failure to be so qualified, authorized or in good standing, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Such Guarantor has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Guaranty. Such Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this Guaranty and this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

(c) The execution and delivery by such Guarantor of this Guaranty and the performance of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder do not (i) contravene any applicable provision of any Requirement of Law applicable to such Guarantor, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Guarantor pursuant to, the terms of any Contractual Obligation to which such Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its assets or property is bound, except for such contraventions, conflicts, breaches or defaults that would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) violate any provision of any Organizational Document of such Guarantor, (iv) require any approval of stockholders or (v) require any material approval or consent of any Person (other than a Governmental Authority) except filings, consents, or notices which have been made, obtained or given and except as set forth on Schedule 6.3 of the Loan Agreement.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 6.4 of the Loan Agreement, no material order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except as have been obtained or made on or prior to the Effective Date), or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (i) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty or the performance of the obligations hereunder or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Guaranty.

5

(e) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened (i) against such Guarantor challenging the validity of any material provision of this Guaranty or (ii) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

14. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date (as defined below), such Guarantor shall take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in Articles VII or VIII of the Loan Agreement relating to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, and so that no Event of Default, is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

15. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of only one primary counsel and one local counsel in each jurisdiction where applicable for all the Creditors, taken as a whole, plus one additional counsel where necessary in the event of a conflict of interest).
