Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that no amount on deposit at any time in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account shall be the property of any Secured Party (other than the Deposit Bank) or of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. In addition, each CL Lender hereby grants to the Deposit Bank a security interest in, and rights of offset against, its rights and interests in such CL Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit, and investments thereof and proceeds of any of the foregoing, to secure the obligations of such CL Lender hereunder. Each CL Lender agrees that its right, title and interest with respect to the Credit-

-56-

Linked Deposit Account shall be limited to the right to require its Credit-Linked Deposit to be used as expressly set forth herein and that it will have no right to require the return of its Credit-Linked Deposit other than as expressly provided herein (each CL Lender hereby acknowledges that its Credit-Linked Deposit constitutes payment for its obligations under Sections 2.05(e) and 2.06(a) and that each Issuing Bank will be issuing, amending, renewing and extending CL Letters of Credit, and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the respective CL Lender) will be advancing CL Loans to the applicable CL Borrower, in each case in reliance on the availability of such CL Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit to discharge such CL Lender’s obligations in respect thereof).

(c) If the Deposit Bank is not offering Dollar deposits (in the applicable amounts) in the London interbank market, or the Deposit Bank determines that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Credit-Linked Deposits (or any part thereof), then the Credit-Linked Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Deposit Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) If any CL Loan is repaid by the respective CL Borrower, or if any L/C Disbursement under a CL Letter of Credit that has been funded by the CL Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be reimbursed by the respective CL Borrower, on a day other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Credit-Linked Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt thereof, pay over such amounts to the Deposit Bank which will invest such amounts in overnight or short-term cash equivalent investments until the end of the Interest Period at the time in effect and respective CL Borrower shall pay to the Deposit Bank, upon the Deposit Bank’s request therefor, the amount, if any, by which the interest accrued on a like amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for Term Loans for the Interest Period in effect therefor shall exceed the interest earned through the investment of the amount so reimbursed for the period from the date of such reimbursement through the end of the applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Deposit Bank (such determination shall, absent manifest error, be presumed correct and binding on all parties hereto) and set forth in the request for payment delivered to CAC. In the event that the respective CL Borrower shall fail to pay any amount due under this Section 2.02(B)(d), the interest payable by the Deposit Bank to the CL Lenders on their Credit-Linked Deposits under Section 2.02 (B)(a) shall be correspondingly reduced and the CL Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their CL Percentages, to the rights of the Deposit Bank with respect to such amount due from the respective CL Borrower. All repayments of CL Loans, and all reimbursements of L/C Disbursements under a CL Letter of Credit that have been funded by the CL Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits, in each case received by the Administrative Agent prior to the termination of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment, shall be paid over to the Deposit Bank which will deposit same in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account.

(e)(i) If the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and/or the Deposit Bank is enjoined from taking any material action referred to in this Section 2.02(B), Section 2.05(e) and/or Section 2.06(a) (in respect of a CL Loan), or if the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and/or the Deposit Bank reasonably determines that, by operation of law, it may reasonably

-57-

be precluded from taking any such material action, or if any Loan Party or CL Lender challenges in any legal proceeding any of the material acknowledgements, agreements or characterizations set forth in any of this Section 2.02(B), Section 2.05(e) and Section 2.06(a) (in respect of CL Loans), then, in any such case (and so long as such event or condition shall be continuing), and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) the respective Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, renew or extend any CL Letter of Credit and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to advance any CL Loan on behalf of the affected CL Lender or CL Lenders.

(ii) If the Deposit Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent is enjoined from withdrawing amounts from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account of a CL Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(e), or reasonably determines that it is precluded from taking such actions, (A) from and after the date such withdrawal would have been made but for such circumstance the amounts otherwise that would have been required to be paid to such CL Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(B)(a) and the second sentence of Section 2.12(b) shall instead be added to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account of such CL Lender and (B) such CL Lender shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank interest on the amount that should have been withdrawn at the rate equal to the interest rate otherwise applicable for ABR CL Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(c) until such time as such withdrawal is made.

(iii) In the event any payment of a CL Loan or L/C Reimbursement in respect of a CL Letter of Credit shall be required to be refunded to a Borrower after the return of the Credit-Linked Deposits to the CL Lenders as permitted hereunder, each CL Lender agrees to acquire and fund a participation in such refunded amount equal to the lesser of its CL Percentage thereof and the amount of its Credit-Linked Deposit that shall have been so returned. The obligations of the CL Lenders under this clause (iii) shall survive the payment in full of the Credit-Linked Deposits and the termination of this Agreement.

To request any Borrowing, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.

If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three months’ duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Swingline Dollar Lender agrees to make Swingline Dollar Loans to any Domestic Swingline Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all Swingline Dollar Loans that will not result in (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Dollar Loans made by such Swingline Dollar Lender exceeding such Swingline Dollar Lender’s Swingline Dollar Commitment or (y) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments and (ii) each Swingline Euro Lender agrees to make Swingline Euro Loans to any Foreign Swingline Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all Swingline Euro Loans that will not result in (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Euro Loans made by such Swingline Euro Lender exceeding such Swingline Euro Lender’s Swingline Euro Commitment or (y) the sum of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro Borrowing. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro Borrowing, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by telecopy), not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of

Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the amount of the requested Swingline Dollar Borrowing (expressed in Dollars) or Swingline Euro Borrowing (expressed in Euros), as applicable, and (iv) in the case of a Swingline Euro Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (b) of the definition of the term “Interest Period.” The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each Swingline Dollar Lender (in the case of a notice relating to a Swingline Dollar Borrowing) or each Swingline Euro Lender (in the case of a notice relating to a Swingline Euro Borrowing) of any such notice received from the Borrower Representative on behalf of a Borrower and the amount of such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loan to be made as part of the requested Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro Borrowing, as applicable. Each Swingline Dollar Lender shall make each Swingline Dollar Loan to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.04(a) on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent by notice to the Swingline Dollar Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Swingline Dollar Loans available to the applicable Domestic Swingline Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the general deposit account of the applicable Domestic Swingline Borrower with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline Dollar Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank). Each Swingline Euro Lender shall make each Swingline Euro Loan to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.04(a) on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Swingline Euro Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Swingline Euro Loans available to the applicable Foreign Swingline Borrower by (i) promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the general deposit account with the Administrative Agent of the applicable Foreign Swingline Borrower most recently designated to the Administrative Agent or (ii) by wire transfer of the amounts received in immediately available funds to the general deposit account of the applicable Foreign Swingline Borrower most recently designated to the Administrative Agent.

(c) A Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (and to the other Swingline Dollar Lenders or Swingline Euro Lenders, as applicable) not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Facility Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by it. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Facility Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and uncondi-

-60-

tional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Facility Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall continue to remain outstanding as a CL Letter of Credit or RF Letter of Credit as specified on Schedule 2.05(a) hereunder on and after such date on the same terms as applicable to it immediately prior to such date. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance of Dollar Letters of Credit, Euro Letters of Credit and Alternative Currency Letters of Credit (x) in the case of RF Letters of Credit, for its own account or for the account of any of the other Revolving Borrowers and (y) in the case of CL Letters of Credit, for the account of a CL Borrower (as specified in the related Request to Issue), in each case in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period and prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the relevant Loan Party, shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Issuing Bank) in advance of the requested date of issuance a request in the form of Exhibit B-2 (a “Request to Issue”) for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, which Request to Issue shall specify, inter alia, whether the requested Letter of Credit is to be a

-61-

CL Letter of Credit or an RF Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the relevant Loan Party, also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit and in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any such form of letter of credit application, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. An RF Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if after giving effect thereto (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed $250,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii) the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure with respect to any Revolving Borrower shall not exceed the Maximum Credit Limit for such Revolving Borrower, and a CL Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if after giving effect thereto the CL Exposure would not exceed the Total Credit-Linked Commitment at such time, provided that no RF Letter of Credit shall be issued unless a CL Letter of Credit could not be issued in lieu thereof, giving effect to the aforesaid limitations. In the event that an RF Letter of Credit is outstanding at a time when there is availability to support the issuance of a new CL Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in a stated amount at least equal to the stated amount of such RF Letter of Credit, the Company shall have the right, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Bank, to re-designate such RF Letter of Credit as a CL Letter of Credit, in each case so long as (i) each such CL Letter of Credit may otherwise be issued in accordance with, and will not violate, the above limitations and requirements of this Section and (ii) the Company certifies in writing to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Bank that the conditions specified in Sections 4.01(b) and (c) are then satisfied. Upon satisfaction of the aforesaid conditions, (x) the respective Issuing Bank shall re-designate the affected RF Letter of Credit as a CL Letter of Credit, and (y) a new CL Letter of Credit shall be deemed issued at such time under this Agreement. No Letter of Credit shall be issued, increased in stated amount, or renewed or extended without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent to be limited to the question of whether such issuance, increase, renewal or extension is being effected on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days (or, in the case of a trade Letter of Credit, 30 days) prior to (A) in the case of an RF Letter of Credit, the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, and (B) in the case of a CL Letter of Credit, the Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that any standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants (x) if such Letter of Credit is a CL Letter of Credit, to each CL Lender or (y) if such Letter of Credit is an RF Letter of Credit to each Revolving Facility Lender (and such CL Lender or Revolving Facility Lender, as the case may be, in its capacity under this Section 2.05(d), a “Participant”) and each such Participant hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s CL Percentage or Revolving Facility Percentage, as the case may be, as in effect

-62-

from time to time of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or Euros, as the case may be, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each LC Disbursement made in respect of an RF Letter of Credit and, in each case, not reimbursed by the Applicant Party on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Applicant Party for any reason. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Applicant Party shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement in Dollars, Euros or an Alternative Currency, as the case may be, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the applicable Applicant Party receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement, provided that (I) in the case of any L/C Disbursement under an RF Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Revolving Borrower, such Revolving Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed (x) if a Dollar Letter of Credit, with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Dollar Borrowing, as applicable, (y) if a Euro Letter of Credit, with a Swingline Euro Borrowing, or (z) if an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Dollar Borrowing, in the cases of clauses (x) and (y), in an equivalent amount and in the case of clause (z), in the Dollar Equivalent of such amount and, to the extent so financed, such Revolving Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Euro Borrowing, as the case may be, and (II) no Applicant Party shall be entitled to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for any drawings under a CL Letter of Credit which occur within the period commencing on the 91st day prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date until after the Credit-Linked Deposits shall have been applied as set forth below in this Section 2.05(e). If the applicable Applicant Party fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement under an RF Letter of Credit when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each relevant Participant of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due in respect thereof and, in the case of each such Participant, such Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each such Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or Euros, as applicable, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Applicant Party, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Participants), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars, Euros or an Alternative Currency, as applicable, the amounts so received by it from such Participants. In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement under any CL Letter of Credit issued by it and the respective CL Borrower shall not have reimbursed

-63-

such amount in full to such Issuing Lender as provided above, or an Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement under any CL Letter of Credit issued by it within the period commencing on the 91st day prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, and in each case such Issuing Lender has notified the Administrative Agent thereof, each CL Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to reimburse on the date of (or if received after 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such date, on the Business Day following the date of) receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice such Issuing Lender for such amount solely by requesting the Deposit Bank to withdraw such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Deposit Bank in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same over to the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank hereby agreeing to effect such a withdrawal and all other withdrawals and payments requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All reimbursements of Issuing Banks by Revolving Facility Lenders or CL Lenders (through application of Credit-Linked Deposits) shall be made as provided herein notwithstanding the occurrence of a CAM Exchange Date after the L/C Disbursement and prior to such reimbursement. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Applicant Party pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Participants have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear (it being understood and agreed that any such payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) to a Participant which is a CL Lender shall be made by such Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of such CL Lender and paid over to the Deposit Bank for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account). Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Dollar Borrowing as contemplated above) shall constitute a Loan.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the applicable Applicant Party to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Applicant Party’s obligations hereunder; provided that, in each case, payment by the Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a

-64-

drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to an Applicant Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Applicant Party to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Applicant Party that are determined by a court having jurisdiction to have been caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s refusal to issue a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of court of competent jurisdiction, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination and each refusal to issue a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Applicant Party and the Company (if the Company is not the Applicant Party) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicant Party of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Applicant Party shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Applicant Party reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans provided that, in the case of an L/C Disbursement made that is (i) a Euro Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (A) be payable in Euros and (B) bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such L/C Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time or (ii) an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (A) be payable in the applicable Alternative Currency and (B) bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such L/C Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time; and provided, further, that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the applicable Applicant Party when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply, with the rate per annum for L/C Disbursements made in respect of a CL Letter of

-65-

Credit from the date any payment is made to the Issuing Lender on behalf of the CL Lenders shall be 2% in excess of the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Term Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility Lender or by or on behalf of any CL Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender or CL Lender, as the case may be, to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the contrequire. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the fifth Business Day following the date on which the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders and/or CL Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure and/or CL Percentages representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure and/or total CL Percentages), as the case may be, demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company and, to the extent relating to CL Exposure, CAC (on a joint and several basis with the Company) agree to deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Lenders and/or the CL Lenders, an amount in Dollars in cash equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure and/or CL Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the portion of such amount attributable to undrawn Euro Letters of Credit or L/C Disbursements in Euros shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent in Euros in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and L/C Disbursements; provided, further that the portion of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or L/C Disbursements in any Alternative Currency shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent in the applicable Alternative Currency in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and L/C Disbursements. The obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately on the Business Day specified above, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable in Dollars, Euros or an Alternative Currency, as applicable, without demand or other notice of any kind. The applicable Applicant Party also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit pursuant to

-66-

this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Company, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Company, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Revolving L/C Exposure and CL Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Facility Lenders and/or CL Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure and/or CL Percentages representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure and/or total CL Percentages), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If an Applicant Party is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Applicant Party within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrowers would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Company may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate up to two Lenders (in addition to DBNY and any Lender that is an issuer of Existing Letters of Credit) that agree (in their sole discretion) to act in such capacity and are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as Issuing Banks. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.

(l) Reporting. Promptly upon the issuance or amendment by it of a standby Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender the Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with a copy of such issuance or amendment. Each Issuing Bank shall on the first Business Day of each calendar week during which any CL Letters of Credit and/or RF Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank are outstanding provide the Administrative Agent, by facsimile, with a report detailing the aggregated daily outstandings of each such Letter of Credit issued by it.

(m) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the Effective Date, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for an Issuing Bank to issue Letters of

-67-

Credit denominated in Euros or any Alternative Currency, then by prompt written notice thereof to the L/C Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), such Issuing Bank may declare that Letters of Credit will not thereafter (for the duration of such declaration) be issued by it in Euros or any Alternative Currency, as applicable.

(n) Subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), documentary Letters of Credit may be issued on a “time basis” on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than CL Loans) to be made (as opposed to be continued) by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. Each CL Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to fund each CL Loan to be made by it hereunder solely by requesting the Deposit Bank to withdraw such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Deposit Bank in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same over to it. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of funds made available to it pursuant to the two preceding sentences available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent (i) in New York City, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) in London, in the case of Loans denominated in Euros and designated by the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans, Swingline Dollar Borrowings and Swingline Euro Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans and/or Term Loans that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans or Term Loans available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount (with demand to be first made on such Lender if legally possible) with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or (y) the rate reasona-

-68-

xxx determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros) or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Euro Borrowings or Swingline Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

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

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

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

-69-

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that the resulting Borrowing is required to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three months’ duration.

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

(e) If the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) except as provided in clause (iii) below, no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the Credit-Linked Commitments shall terminate on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. New York Time on the Effective Date.

(b) The Company (on behalf of itself and all other Revolving Borrowers) may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments.

-70-

(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments and/or Credit-Linked Commitments under paragraph (b) or (d) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments and/or Credit-Linked Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility.

(d) The Company (on behalf of itself and CAC) shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Credit-Linked Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or if less the remaining amount of the Credit-Linked Commitments) in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Credit-Linked Commitment, provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Credit-Linked Commitment of each CL Lender. At the time of any termination or reduction of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) or on the Term Loan Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall request the Deposit Bank to withdraw from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same over to it, and shall return to the CL Lenders (ratably in accordance with their respective CL Percentages) the CL Lenders’ Credit-Linked Deposits in an aggregate amount equal to such reduction or the amount of such Commitment being terminated, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, following the reimbursement or repayment by a Borrower for any drawing or CL Loan under the CL Facility, in no event shall the Deposit Bank be required to return to any CL Lender any proceeds of such CL Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit prior to the 90th day following such reimbursement or repayment unless the respective CL Lender shall have sufficiently indemnified the Deposit Bank (in the sole discretion of the Deposit Bank) for any losses the Deposit Bank may incur as a result of preference claims brought by any creditor of a Borrower with respect to the proceeds of such reimbursement or repayment.

SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt, etc.

(a) The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in Euros or Dollars, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan made to the Company and (ii) in Euros or Dollars, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10. Each CL Borrower hereby unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promises to pay on the Term Loan Maturity Date in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each CL Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each CL Loan of such CL Lender owing by any CL Borrower. Each Domestic Swingline Borrower

-71-

hereby unconditionally promises to pay in Dollars to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower on the earlier of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing is made by such Borrower, then such Borrower shall repay all its Swingline Loans then outstanding. Each Revolving Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay in Dollars (or in Euros if the Revolving Facility Borrowing was made in Euros) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan to such Borrower on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Each Foreign Swingline Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay in Euros to each Swingline Euro Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Euro Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower on the earlier of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Swingline Euro Loan.

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

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

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(f) At the time of any termination of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or pursuant to Article VII (but otherwise subject to the last sentence of Section 2.08(d)), the Administrative Agent shall request the Deposit Bank to withdraw from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and to pay same over to it, and shall return to the CL Lenders

(ratably in accordance with their respective CL Percentages), the CL Lenders’ Credit-Linked Deposits in an amount by which the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the aggregate CL L/C Exposure (less unreimbursed L/C Disbursements included therein) at such time.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Term Loans.

(a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the Company shall repay Term Loans owed by it (such repayment to be in Dollars if made in respect of Dollar Term Loans or in Euros if made in respect of Euro Term Loans) on (x) the three-month anniversary of the Effective Date, and each three-month anniversary thereafter (each such date being referred to as an “Installment Date”) and prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date in an aggregate amount equal to 1/4 of 1% of the then Maximum Term Amount and (y) the Term Loan Maturity Date in an amount equal to the remaining principal amount of the Term Loans owed by it.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(c) Prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied to reduce on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of such amortization payments) the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans.

(d) Any Lender holding Term Loans may elect, on not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(c), not to have such prepayment applied to such Lender’s Term Loans, in which case the amount not so applied shall be retained by the Company (and applied as it elects).

(e) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing under any Facility hereunder, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under such Facility to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Dollar Borrowing or a Swingline Euro Borrowing hereunder, the applicable Swingline Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the scheduled date of such repayment. Except as provided in Section 2.13(d), repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

-73-

(f) Amounts to be applied pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under Section 2.11(c) shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess Amount”), only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the Excess Amount shall be either (A) deposited in an escrow account on terms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and applied to the prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans; provided that (i) interest in respect of such Excess Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Amount is intended to repay until such Excess Amount shall have been used in full to repay such Loans and (ii) at any time while a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds then on deposit to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Amount; or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.16.

SECTION 2.11 Prepayments, etc.

(a) The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(e), provided that such optional prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of such amortization payments) the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds (x) 105% of the total Revolving Facility Commitments solely as a result of currency fluctuations or (y) the total Revolving Facility Commitments (other than as a result of currency fluctuations), the Borrowers under the Revolving Facility shall prepay Revolving Facility Borrowings, Swingline Dollar Borrowings and/or Swingline Euro Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(k)) made to such Borrowers, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments.

(c) Holdings shall cause (i) an amount equal to all Net Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest Borrowing Multiple) promptly upon receipt thereof to be used to prepay Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(c) and (ii) an amount equal to the Remaining Note Amount (rounded down to the nearest Borrowing Multiple) to be used to prepay Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(c) on the date three months after the Effective Date to the extent not previously used to redeem the Remaining Notes.

(d) On any day on which the aggregate CL Exposure exceeds the Total Credit-Linked Commitment at such time, CAC and the Company on a joint and several basis agree to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash

-74-

and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents first, to be used to repay any outstanding CL Loans, with any remaining cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the respective CL Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the CL Lenders hereunder in respect of CL Letters of Credit in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.12 Fees.

(a) The Company (on behalf of itself and the other Revolving Borrowers) agrees to pay to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, 10 Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “RF Commitment Fee”) in Dollars on the daily amount of the Available Revolving Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Effective Date or ending with the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum; provided that the RF Commitment Fee will be reduced (i) to 0.375% per annum if as of the most recent Calculation Date Holdings demonstrates a First Lien Senior Secured Leverage Ratio not greater than 2.25:1 (but greater than 1.75:1) and (ii) to 0.25% per annum if as of the most recent Calculation Date Holdings demonstrates a First Lien Senior Secured Leverage Ratio not greater than 1.75:1. All RF Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year).

(b) The Company (on behalf of itself and the other Revolving Borrowers and/or CAC) from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, 10 Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) in Dollars on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Effective Date or ending with the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings effective for each day in such period, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) 10 Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments or Credit-Linked Commitments, as the case may be, of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/8

-75-

of 1% per annum of the daily stated amount of such Letter of Credit) (with the minimum annual fronting fee for each Letter of Credit to be not less than $500) plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). The Company and CAC, jointly and severally, agree to pay to each CL Lender (based on each such CL Lender’s CL Percentage), through the Administrative Agent, a fee (the “CL Facility Fee”) equal to the sum of (I) a rate per annum equal to the Applicable CL Margin on the aggregate amount of such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time and (II) a rate per annum equal to the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount as in effect from time to time on such CL Lender’s CL Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time, in each case for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the date on which the Total Credit-Linked Commitment has been terminated, the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the CL Lenders and all CL Letters of Credit have been terminated. Accrued CL Facility Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each CL Interest Payment Date and on the date on which the Total Credit-Linked Commitment has been terminated, the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the CL Lenders and all CL Letters of Credit have been terminated. All L/C Participation Fees, Issuing Bank Fees and CL Facility Fees that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter dated the Closing Date (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Dollar Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the applicable Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue principal amount shall bear interest, and each such other overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest, in each case after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount (x) payable in Dollars, 2% plus the rate applicable to CL Loans or Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section or (y) payable in Euros, 2% plus the rate otherwise appli-

-76-

cable to a Revolving Loan denominated in Euros with a one-month Interest Period made on such date; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any payment default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments, (iii) in the case of any CL Loans, upon the expiration of the CL Availability Period or upon termination of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment and (iv) in the case of the Term Loans, on the Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or Swingline Dollar Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion or payment of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion or payment.

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

(f) All interest paid or payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be paid in the applicable currency in which the Loan giving rise to such interest is denominated.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

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

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders under a Facility that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of

-77-

the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in Euros, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility and the applicable Borrower shall agree adequately reflects the costs to the Revolving Facility Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is requested to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility shall agree adequately reflects the costs to the Revolving Facility Lenders of making the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or those for which payment has been requested pursuant to Section 2.21) or Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Euro Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (except those for which payment has been requested pursuant to Section 2.21);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Euro Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case determined to be material by such Lender, then the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the applicable Applicant Party (in the case of a Letter of Credit) will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) and determined to be material by such Lender, then from time to time the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the applicable Applicant Party (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay to such Lender or

-78-

such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (as well as reasonably detailed calculations thereof) shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the applicable Applicant Party (in the case of a Letter of Credit) and shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts thereof. The applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the applicable Applicant Party (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that a Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Euro Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Euro Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Euros of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts thereof.

-79-

Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Each CL Borrower jointly and severally agrees to compensate the Deposit Bank, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Deposit Bank in connection with (i) any withdrawals from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period or scheduled investment termination date for the Credit-Linked Deposits and (ii) the termination of the Total Credit-Linked Commitment (and the related termination of the investment of the funds held in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account) prior to the end of any applicable Interest Period or scheduled investment termination date for the Credit-Linked Deposits.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

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

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Agents, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expense arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

-80-

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may reasonably be requested by such Borrower to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (e) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

(f) If an Agent or a Lender determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent or Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Company by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.21 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof or, in the case of payments made prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in respect of CL Loans or of L/C Disbursements funded by CL Lenders from Credit-Linked Depos-

-81-

its, the Administrative Agent shall deposit same in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations shall, subject to Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(k), be made in the currency in which the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. Any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to one or more Lenders in the national currency of a member state of the European Union that has adopted the Euro as its lawful currency shall be paid in Euros.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, CL Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, CL Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, CL Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans, CL Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including in connection with any reduction or termination of commitments under any Facility) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disburse-

-82-

ments to any assignee or participant, other than to such Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply).

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars) and (ii) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in Euros).

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.17 or 2.21, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall

-83-

have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Company shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all Obligations of Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (and all Credit-Linked Deposits funded by such Lender) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Company, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided that the processing and recordation fee due and payable pursuant to 9.04(b)(ii)(C) shall be waived in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.19(c).

SECTION 2.20 Revolving Borrowers. The Company may designate after the Effective Date any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that is party to the U.S. Collateral Agreement and/or any Foreign Subsidiary of the Company that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary as an additional Revolving Borrower, with a specified Maximum Credit Limit, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Revolving Borrower Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company at least 5 Business Days (or 10 Business Days in the case of any Subsidiary which is not both a Domestic Subsidiary and a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) prior to the date of such designation, a copy of which the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Lenders. It is agreed that Grupo Celanese S.A., if and when designated by the Company as a Revolving Borrower, will have a Maximum Credit Limit equal at any time to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments at such time. Each such designation shall specify whether such Subsidiary shall be entitled to make Borrowings under and/or request Letters of Credit under the Revolving Facility, and each such designation and specified Maximum Credit Limit shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). Upon the execution by the Company and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Revolving Borrower Termination with respect to any Revolving Borrower, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Revolving Borrower and a party to this Agreement as a Revolving Borrower; provided that no Revolving Borrower Termination will become effective as to any Revolving Borrower (other than to terminate such Revolving Borrower’s right to make further

-84-

Borrowings under this Agreement) at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Revolving Borrower or any Letter of Credit for the account of such Revolving Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Revolving Borrower Agreement or Revolving Borrower Termination, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Revolving Facility Lender. The Company shall be entitled to designate any Foreign Subsidiary that complies with the requirements described in Section 5.10(f) as a Revolving Borrower.

SECTION 2.21 Additional Reserve Costs.

(a) For so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case any other authority which replaced all or any of its functions) and/or the European Central Bank or comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case any other authority which replaced all or any of its functions) and/or the European Central Bank, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Euro Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a percentage rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formulae and in the manner set forth in Exhibit H hereto.

(b) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be determined by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be prima facie evidence of the amount thereof, and notified to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least 10 days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

SECTION 2.22 Illegality.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that it is unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Euro Term Loan, any Revolving Facility Loan denominated in Euros or any Swingline Euro Loan, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Euro Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans denominated in Euros or Swingline Euro Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon any of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) prepay such Euro Term Loan, Revolving Facility Loan denominated in Euros or Swingline Euro Loan. Upon any such prepayment, such Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Effective Date that it is

-85-

unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans (other than as set forth in paragraph (a) above), then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon the receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either (i) for Loans denominated in Euros (A) prepay each Loan denominated in Euros or (B) keep such Loan denominated in Euros outstanding, in which case the Adjusted LIBO Rate with respect to such Loan shall be deemed to be the rate determined by such Lender as the all-in-cost of funds to fund such Loan with maturities comparable to the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (ii) for Loans denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, such Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.23 New Commitments.

(a) New Commitments. At any time after completion of the primary syndication (as determined by the Lead Arrangers) and prior to the date which is 12 months prior to (i) in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and (ii) in the case of Term Loans, the Term Loan Maturity Date, the Company may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request New Revolving Lenders to provide new Revolving Facility Commitments (the “New Revolving Facility Commitments”) and New Term Lenders to provide Commitments to make incremental Term Loans hereunder (“New Term Loans” and, together with the New Revolving Facility Commitments, the “New Commitments”) in an aggregate principal amount for all such New Commitments not to exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $500.0 million, the proceeds of which may be used for any general corporate purposes (including any Investment, Capital Expenditure, Restricted Payment or repayment of other Indebtedness, in each case as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). Such notice shall specify the date (the “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Company proposes that the such New Term Commitments take effect, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and prior to the date which is 12 months prior to, in the case of New Revolving Facility Commitments, the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and, in the case of New Term Loans, the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of each Lender or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to whom such new Revolving Facility Commitments (each, a “New Revolving Facility Lender”) and/or Commitments for New Term Loans (each, a “New Term Lender” and, together with the New Revolving Facility Lenders, the “New Lenders”) have been (in accordance with the prior sentence) allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender requested to provide all or a portion of such New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment.

The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other party hereto on account of the failure, delay in performance or breach by, or as a result of information provided by, any Lender or Issuing Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender or Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or Issuing Bank or any Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

SECTION 8.02 Nature of Duties. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Lenders further acknowledge and agree that so long as an Agent shall make any determination to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document in good faith, such Agent shall have no liability in respect of such determination to any Person. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. Each Lender recognizes and agrees that the Joint Book Runners and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and shall have no functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities for acting as the Joint Book Runners or as the Joint Lead Arrangers hereunder.

SECTION 8.03 Resignation by the Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank, as the case may be, as provided below, each of the Administrative Agent and the Deposit Bank may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York and an office in London, England (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a combined capital and surplus having a Dollar Equivalent that is not less than $500.0 million or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank, as the case may be, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the resignation by the Administrative Agent or by the Deposit Bank hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent or Deposit Bank, as the case may be.

SECTION 8.04 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.05 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse each Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of its applicable outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as applicable)) of any reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by such Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Company and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Company (and without limiting its obligation to do so), provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judg-

-135-

ments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

SECTION 8.06 Lack of Reliance on Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent and any Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 8.07 Designation of Affiliates for Loans Denominated in Euros. The Administrative Agent shall be permitted from time to time to designate one of its Affiliates to perform the duties to be performed by the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to Loans, Borrowings and Letters of Credit denominated in Euros.

the benefit of Holdings, the Borrowers, each Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than pursuant to a merger permitted by Section 6.05(b) or 6.05(i), no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04.

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under paragraph (b), (c), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee (other than a natural person) (provided that any liability of the Borrowers to an assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 2.21 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by such Borrower in the absence of such assignment); and

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (i) a Revolving Facility Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment, immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, or (ii) a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with re-

-138-

spect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $5.0 million (or the Euro Equivalent in the case of Revolving Facility Loans denominated in Euros), in the case of Revolving Facility Commitments and Revolving Facility Loans, (y) $5.0 million in the case of Credit-Linked Commitments and Credit-Linked Deposits and (z) $1.0 million (or the Euro Equivalent in the case of Euro Term Loans), in the case of Term Loans, unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under paragraph (b), (c), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (B) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that no such recordation fee shall be due in connection with an assignment to an existing Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment by the Administrative Agent;

(D) no assignment of Revolving Facility Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments shall be permitted to be made to an assignee that cannot make Revolving Facility Loans in Dollars and Euros; and

(E) no assignments of Euro Term Loans or of a commitment to make Euro Term Loans shall be permitted to be made to an assignee that cannot hold or make Euro Term Loans.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. Without the consent of the Deposit Bank, the Credit-Linked Deposit funded by any CL Lender shall not be released in connection with any assignment of its Credit-Linked Commitment, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (if not already applied) pursuant to Section 2.05(e) or 2.06(a) in respect of such assignee’s obligations under the Credit-Linked Commitment assigned to it.

-139-

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent acting for itself and, in any situation wherein the consent of the Company is not required, the Company shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Loan Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Loan Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Loan Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such participation may exist between such Lender and such Loan Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each of the Borrowers agrees that each Loan Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Loan Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided such Loan Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Loan Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive

-140-

with respect to the participation sold to such Loan Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Loan Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Loan Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the extent such Loan Participant fails to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Deposit Bank in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the administration of this Agreement and by the Agents in connection with the syndication of the Commitments (including expenses incurred prior to the Effective Date in connection with due diligence and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx llp, counsel for the Administrative Agent and Deposit Bank, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel (including the reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel if a Lender elects to use internal counsel in lieu of outside counsel) for the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or all Lenders (but no more than one such counsel for all Lenders).

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Deposit Bank, the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Let-

-141-

ter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Company agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any Environmental Claim related in any way to Holdings, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any Mortgaged Property or any property owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of Holdings, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Deposit Bank, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for which indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of its choice at its expense (in which case the Company shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an Indemnitee except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the Company’s election to assume the defense of such action, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, and the Company shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent such Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Company and such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense or such action on behalf of such Indemnitee); (iii) the Company shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the Company shall authorize in writing such Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the Company’s expense. The Company will not be liable under this Agreement for any amount paid by an Indemnitee to settle any claims or actions if the settlement is entered into without the Company’s consent, which consent may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is unrea-

-142-

sonable in light of such claims or actions against, and defenses available to, such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an Indemnitee releases the Borrower from its indemnification obligations hereunder, such Indemnitee may assume the defense of any such action with respect to itself.

(d) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes.

SECTION 9.06 Right of Set-off. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by a Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) after the expiration of any cure or grace periods, to set off and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the Company or any Subsidiary, matured or unmatured, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.

SECTION 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders (or, in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 6.10, the

-143-

Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility rather than the Required Lenders) and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements as provided for therein; provided, however, that no such agreement shall

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

(iii) extend or waive any Installment Date or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any fees payable hereunder are due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

(iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18(c) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

(v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Effective Date),

(vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release Holdings, the Company, CAC or all or substantially all of the other Subsidiary Loan Parties from its Guarantee under the Holdings Agreement or the U.S. Collateral Agreement, as applicable, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(vii) effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms directly adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in other Facilities, without the consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility (it being

-144-

agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed); or

(viii) convert the currency of any Loan or any Commitment, without the prior written consent of the Lender holding such Loan or Commitment;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Deposit Bank or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

(c) Without the consent of either Joint Lead Arranger, the Deposit Bank or any Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, the CL Loans and the Revolving Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Holdings, the Borrowers and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement “B” term loan tranche hereunder which shall be Loans hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to

-145-

provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

SECTION 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

SECTION 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letters shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

-146-

SECTION 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

SECTION 9.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings, any Borrower or any Loan Party or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, the Deposit Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Holdings, the Company and the other Loan Parties furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings, the Company or the other Loan Parties (other than information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Deposit Bank or the Administrative Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Deposit Bank or the Administrative Agent from a third party having, to such Person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, the Company or any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (A) to the extent necessary to comply

-147-

with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (B) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (C) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (D) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (E) to any prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than this Section 9.16) and (F) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than this Section 9.16).

SECTION 9.17 Conversion of Currencies.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of its assets (including the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party (other than a Borrower)) to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.05, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the Company and at the Company’s expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in

-148-

respect of such assets or Equity Interests, and, in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party that is not a Borrower in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be a Subsidiary, terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its Guarantee. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to take such actions as are reasonably requested by Holdings or the Company and at the Company’s expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations are paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments are terminated. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Equity Interests, asset or subsidiary of Holdings shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or asset is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

SECTION 9.19 Parallel Debt.

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees, and each Foreign Revolving Borrower acknowledges by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt, that each and every obligation of each Foreign Revolving Borrower (and any of its successors pursuant to this Agreement) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall also be owing in full to the Collateral Agent (and each of its successors under this Agreement), and that accordingly the Collateral Agent will have its own independent right to demand performance by each such Foreign Revolving Borrower of those obligations. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Foreign Revolving Borrower that in case of any discharge of any such obligation owing to the Collateral Agent or any Lender, it will, to the same extent, not make a claim against the relevant Foreign Revolving Borrower under the aforesaid acknowledgement at any time; provided that any such claims can be made against any such Foreign Revolving Borrower if such discharge is made by virtue of any set off, counterclaim or similar defense invoked by any such Foreign Revolving Borrower vis-à-vis the Collateral Agent.

(b) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against any Foreign Revolving Borrower (whether under this paragraph or under any other provision of the Loan Documents), the Collateral Agent agrees with each other Lender that, except as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights under the Acknowledgement except with the consent of the relevant Lender. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Collateral Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Loan Document as contemplated by this Agreement and/or the relevant Loan Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to the foregoing).

ARTICLE X

COLLECTION ALLOCATION MECHANISM

SECTION 10.01 Implementation of CAM.

(a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as provided in Section 7.01, (ii) each Revolving Facility Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c)) participations in the Swingline Euro

-149-

Loans (other than any Swingline Euro Loan in respect of which Revolving Facility Lenders have funded their purchase of participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c)) in an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based on the respective Revolving Facility Commitments of the Revolving Facility Lenders immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date) of each Swingline Euro Loan outstanding on such date, (iii) each Revolving Facility Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c)) participations in the Swingline Dollar Loans (other than any Swingline Dollar Loan in respect of which the Revolving Facility Lenders have funded their purchase of participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c)) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each Swingline Dollar Loan outstanding on such date, (iv) simultaneously with the automatic conversions pursuant to clause (v) below, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.04) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans), Swingline Loans and undrawn Letters of Credit, such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Loan and Letter of Credit in which it shall participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and undrawn Letter of Credit), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and a participation in every one of the Swingline Loans and undrawn Letters of Credit (including the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and each Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 10.02 below), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof and (v) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (iv) above, the interests in the Loans to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any Person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan. Each Loan Party agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes evidencing its interests in the Loans so executed and delivered; provided, however, that the failure of any Loan Party to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, and each distribution made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Security Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in re-

-150-

spect of an Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

SECTION 10.02 Letters of Credit.

(a) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any RF Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, each Revolving Facility Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, an “RF Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with respect to each such RF Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. On the CAM Exchange Date, the Administrative Agent shall request the Deposit Bank to withdraw all amounts remaining in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account (after giving effect to withdrawals therefrom made pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) less the aggregate amount (if any) equal to all unreimbursed L/C Disbursements made in respect of CL Letters of Credit not yet founded by application of Credit-Linked Deposits as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) and deposit same in a new separate account maintained with the Administrative Agent (each a “CL Reserve Account” and together with the RF Reserve Account, the “Reserve Accounts”) or accounts for such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account, as the case may be, such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Revolving Facility Lenders or the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, as the case may be, as provided above. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account, as the case may be, shall be held as a reserve against the Revolving L/C Exposures or CL L/C Exposures, as the case may be, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05.

(b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank withdraw from the RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account, as applicable, of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts, to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the respective Lenders under Section 2.05(d) (but not of the Applicant Party under Section 2.05(e)). In the event that any Revolving Facility Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any

-151-

amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 10.02, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Revolving Facility Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Revolving Facility Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such RF Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account, as applicable, of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Bank (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its RF Reserve Account or CL Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit to pay over to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment.

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from either of its Reserve Accounts as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Permitted Investments. Each Lender that has not withdrawn all of the amounts in its Reserve Accounts as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts remaining in its Reserve Accounts and to retain such earnings for its own account.

SECTION 10.03 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.
