Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the relevant Borrowing Date, the Refunded Swingline Loans (including the Swingline Lender’s ratable share thereof, in its capacity as a Lender) shall be deemed to be repaid with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made as provided above (including a Revolving Loan deemed to have been made by the Swingline Lender), and such Refunded Swingline Loans deemed to be so repaid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall be outstanding as Revolving Loans. If any portion of any such amount repaid (or deemed to be repaid) to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower from the Swingline Lender in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be shared ratably among all the Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.15(b).

(f) If, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to Xxxxxxxx or the applicable Borrower, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.2(e) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans, or if the Swingline Lender is otherwise precluded for any reason from giving a notice on behalf of Xxxxxxxx and the applicable Borrower as provided for hereinabove, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have sold without recourse, representation or warranty (except for the absence of Liens thereon created, incurred or suffered to exist by, through or under the Swingline Lender), and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the unpaid amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s prior notice from the Swingline Lender, each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall make available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the applicable Payment Instructions an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its respective participation. To the extent the Lenders have made such amounts

available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent shall make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. In the event any such Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this Section 2.2(f), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is required to be made available for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date such amount is made available to the Swingline Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three Business Days and thereafter at the Adjusted Base Rate applicable to Revolving Loans. Promptly following its receipt of any payment by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower in respect of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein such Lender’s ratable share of such payment.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and each such Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(f) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance or event whatsoever, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) the failure of the amount of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans to meet any minimum Borrowing amount specified in Section 2.2(b), or (iv) the failure of any conditions set forth in Section 4.2 or elsewhere herein to be satisfied.

2.3 Disbursements; Funding Reliance; Domicile of Loans.

(a) Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing in accordance with the terms of any written instructions from any Authorized Officer of Xxxxxxxx or such Borrower; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated under any circumstances to forward amounts to any account not listed in an Account Designation Letter. Each Borrower may at any time deliver to the Administrative Agent an Account Designation Letter listing any additional accounts or deleting any accounts listed in a previous Account Designation Letter.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of a Borrowing comprising Base Rate Loans, two hours prior to the proposed time of such Borrowing, or (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2 or 3.5, as applicable, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender,

the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the Adjusted Base Rate. If the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If the applicable Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.1(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, fund its participation or to make any such payment required hereunder.

(d) Each Lender may, at its option, subject to Section 2.19, make and maintain any Loan at, to or for the account of any of its Lending Offices; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan to or for the account of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.4 Evidence of Debt; Notes.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount, Type and Currency of each Loan 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 in respect of each such Loan and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower in respect of each such Loan and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, Section 2.4(a)) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The Revolving Loans shall, if requested by the applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by a Revolving Note appropriately completed in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1. The Swingline Loans shall, if requested by the Swingline Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by a Swingline Note appropriately completed in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2. Each Note shall be executed by the applicable Borrower and payable to the order of the applicable Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Each Note shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and thereof.

2.5 Termination and Reduction of Commitments and Swingline Commitment.

(a) The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Termination Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision of this Section 2.5 or Section 9.2. The Swingline Commitment shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Swingline Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision of this Section 2.5 or Section 9.2.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (and in the case of a termination or reduction of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment, the Swingline Lender), Xxxxxxxx may terminate in whole or reduce in part the aggregate Unutilized Commitments or the Unutilized Swingline Commitment; provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 ($500,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment) and, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof ($100,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment). The amount of any termination or reduction made under this Section 2.5(b) may not thereafter be reinstated; provided that a notice of termination or reduction delivered by Xxxxxxxx pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) may state that such termination or reduction is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be revoked by Xxxxxxxx (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to one Business Day before the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders according to their respective Commitments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.5 that has the effect of reducing the aggregate Commitments to an amount less than the amount of the Swingline Commitment or the L/C Subcommitment at such time shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment or the L/C Subcommitment, as the case may be, to the amount of the aggregate Commitments (as so reduced), without any further action on the part of Xxxxxxxx, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank.

2.6 Mandatory Payments and Prepayments.

(a) Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal of the Swingline Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Swingline Maturity Date.

(b) If, at any time, the Dollar Amount of the Aggregate Credit Exposure (determined as of the most recent Revaluation Date and excluding the aggregate amount of any Swingline Loans to be repaid with proceeds of Revolving Loans made on the date of determination) shall exceed 105% (or, if no Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency are then outstanding, 100%) of the aggregate Commitments at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof), then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, shall immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans and, to the extent of any excess remaining after prepayment in full of outstanding Swingline Loans, outstanding Reimbursement Obligations in the amount of such excess, and, to the extent of any excess remaining after prepayment in full of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess; provided that, to the extent such excess amount is greater than the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Revolving Loans outstanding immediately prior to the application of such prepayment, the amount so prepaid shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and held in the Cash Collateral Account as cover for L/C Exposure, as more particularly described in Section 3.8, and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate L/C Exposure by an equivalent amount; provided further that the Administrative Agent shall promptly return any Cash Collateral held in excess of the amount required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) as determined on any Revaluation Date.

(c) If, at any time, the Dollar Amount of the Credit Extended (determined as of the most recent Revaluation Date and excluding the aggregate amount of any Swingline Loans to be repaid with proceeds of Revolving Loans made on the date of determination) to any Borrower shall exceed 105% (or, if no Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency are then outstanding to such Borrower, 100%) of such Borrower’s Sublimit at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof), then such Borrower shall immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans made to such Borrower in the amount of such excess; provided that, to the extent such excess amount is greater than the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans made to such Borrower outstanding immediately prior to the application of such prepayment, the amount so prepaid shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and held in the Cash Collateral Account as cover for L/C Exposure, as more particularly described in Section 3.8, and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate L/C Exposure by an equivalent amount; provided further that the Administrative Agent shall promptly return any Cash Collateral held in excess of the amount required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) as determined on any Revaluation Date.

2.7 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) At any time and from time to time, each Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (iii) below), upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than

11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, (x) four Business Days prior to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, (y) three Business Days prior to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars or (z) one Business Day prior to each intended prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans, which may be prepaid on a same-day basis); provided that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof ($100,000 and $100,000, respectively, in the case of Swingline Loans); (ii) no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any single Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR Loans under such Borrowing to less than $1,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) unless made together with all amounts required under Section 2.18 to be paid as a consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount, Currency and Type of the Loans to be prepaid (and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period of the Borrowing pursuant to which made), and shall be irrevocable and shall bind the applicable Borrower to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein. Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) may be re-borrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a notice of prepayment under this Section 2.7(a), the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that if such notice has also been furnished to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Lenders with respect thereto.

(b) Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each; provided that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time of any such prepayment, any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero.

2.8 Interest.

(a) Subject to Section 2.8(b), each Borrower will pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to it, from the date of Borrowing thereof until such principal amount shall be paid in full, (i) at the Adjusted Base Rate, as in effect from time to time during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as in effect from time to time during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(f) or 9.1(g) and (at the election of the Required Lenders) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, all outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and, to the greatest extent permitted by law, all interest accrued on the Loans and all other past due accrued and outstanding fees and other amounts hereunder or under any other Credit Document, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable from time to time thereafter to such Loans (whether the Adjusted Base Rate or the

Adjusted LIBOR Rate) plus 2% (or, in the case of interest, fees and other amounts for which no rate is provided hereunder, at the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%), and, in each case, such default interest shall be payable on demand by the Administrative Agent. To the greatest extent permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue after the filing by or against the applicable Borrower of any petition seeking any relief under any Debtor Relief Law.

(i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan (including any Base Rate Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, except as provided hereinbelow), in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date; provided that if all Loans are repaid or prepaid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, then accrued interest in respect of all Base Rate Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof;

(ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan (including any LIBOR Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, except as provided hereinbelow), in arrears (y) on the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(iv)) and (z) in addition, in the case of a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period having a duration of six months or longer, on each date on which interest would have been payable under clause (y) above had successive Interest Periods of three months’ duration been applicable to such LIBOR Loan; provided that if all LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing are repaid or prepaid in full, then accrued interest in respect of such LIBOR Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof; and

(iii) in respect of any Loan, at maturity (whether pursuant to acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.

(d) (i) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Administrative Agent or any Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law or, with respect to payments by the Canadian Borrower, at a rate that would result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)). If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount. In the event of any such reduction affecting any Lender, if from time to time thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Lender on any interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the previous sentence.

(ii) If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Document would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited or so result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under Section 2.8, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Administrative Agent or such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in the two immediately preceding sentences shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders upon determining the interest rate for each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans after its receipt of the relevant Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, and upon each change in the Base Rate; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide any Borrower or the Lenders with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of such Borrower or the Lenders hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to such Borrower or any Lender. Each such determination (including each determination of the Reserve Requirement) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(f) In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.11, 6.1 or 6.2 is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Rate applied for such Applicable Period,

then the applicable Borrower shall immediately (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) determine the Applicable Rate for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected Compliance Certificate and (iii) pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest and commitment fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Rate for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.12(e). This Section 2.8(f) is in addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to Sections 2.8(b) and 9.1 and other respective rights under this Agreement.

(g) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or the actual number of days in such other period of time, respectively.

2.9 Fees.

(a) Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay:

(i) to the Arrangers and Xxxxx Fargo, for their own respective accounts and the accounts of the Lenders (as applicable), on the Closing Date, the fees required under the Fee Letter to be paid to them on the Closing Date, in the amounts due and payable on the Closing Date as required by the terms thereof;

(ii) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) for the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate in effect for such fee from time to time during such quarter on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the average daily aggregate Unutilized Commitments (excluding clause (iii) of the definition thereof for purposes of this Section 2.9(a)(ii) only), payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (B) on the Termination Date; provided, however, that no commitment fee shall accrue on the Unutilized Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during any period that such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; and

(iii) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administrative fee described in the Fee Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set forth therein.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay:

(i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit fee for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time during such quarter for LIBOR Loans, on such Lender’s ratable share (based on the proportion that its Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments) of the Dollar Amount of the daily

average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the later of the Termination Date and the date of termination of the last outstanding Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any letter of credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account;

(ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, any fronting fee required, under any Fee Letter between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank, to be paid to such Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Issuing Bank, in the amounts due and at the times due as required by the terms thereof; and

(iii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, such transfer fees and other fees and charges incurred in connection with the issuance and administration of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Issuing Bank as are customarily charged from time to time by such Issuing Bank for the performance of such services in connection with similar letters of credit, or as may be otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Bank, but without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.9(b)(ii).

2.10 Interest Periods. Concurrently with the giving of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of any Borrowing comprising Base Rate Loans to be converted into, or LIBOR Loans to be continued as, LIBOR Loans, the applicable Borrower shall have the right to elect, pursuant to such notice, the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be a one, two, three or six-month period; provided, however, that:

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

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of the Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan (including the date of any continuation of, or conversion into, such LIBOR Loan), and each successive Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) LIBOR Loans may not be outstanding under more than 14 separate Interest Periods at any one time (for which purpose Interest Periods of different durations shall be deemed to be separate even if they are coterminous);

(iv) if any Interest Period otherwise would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) a Borrower may not select any Interest Period that expires after the Maturity Date;

(vi) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which such Interest Period would otherwise expire, such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month; and

(vii) a Borrower may not select any Interest Period (and consequently, no LIBOR Loans shall be made) if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to any Borrowing.

2.11 Conversions and Continuations.

(a) Any Borrower shall have the right, on any Business Day occurring on or after the Closing Date, to elect (i) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any of its Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, or to convert any of its LIBOR Loans the Interest Periods for which end on the same day into Base Rate Loans, or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, to continue all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any of its LIBOR Loans the Interest Periods for which end on the same day for an additional Interest Period; provided that, in each case, (u) a Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted into, a Borrowing denominated in a different Currency; (v) a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted into a Borrowing of a different Type; (w) (1) any conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans shall involve an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (2) any conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans shall involve an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to less than $1,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; (x) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.16(f), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (and, in any event, if a LIBOR Loan is converted into a Base Rate Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay, upon such conversion, all amounts required under Section 2.18 to be paid as a consequence thereof); (y) no conversion or continuation shall be permitted with regard to Swingline Loans; and (z) no conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be permitted during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default.

(b) A Borrower shall make each such election by giving the Administrative Agent written notice not later than 12:00 p.m., Charlotte time, (i) three Business Days prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or continuation of LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days prior to the intended effective date of any continuation of LIBOR Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, or (iii) two Business Days prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-3 and shall specify (x) the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (y) in the case of a conversion into, or a continuation of, LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (z) the aggregate amount, Currency and Type of the Loans being converted or continued. Upon the receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the proposed conversion or continuation. If any Borrower shall fail to deliver a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation as provided herein (1) with respect to any of its outstanding LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, then such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof) or (2) with respect to any of its outstanding LIBOR Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, then such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically continued as LIBOR Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency with an Interest Period of one month upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. If a Borrower shall have failed to select in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to any conversion into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of one month.

2.12 Method of Payments; Computations; Apportionment of Payments.

(a) Unless the applicable Borrower expressly specifies otherwise, all payments and reimbursements made by such Borrower shall be made for the account of such Borrower. All payments and reimbursements by a Borrower hereunder shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, in the applicable Currency and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or Issuing Banks entitled to such payment or the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (except as otherwise expressly provided herein as to payments required to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Lenders) in accordance with the applicable Payment Instructions prior to (i) (A) with respect to a payment denominated in Japanese Yen, 9:00 a.m., Tokyo time, (B) with respect to a payment denominated in Australian Dollars, 9:00 a.m., Sydney time, or (C) with respect to a payment denominated in any other Forward Foreign Currency, 9:00 a.m., local time for the central bank of the issuing jurisdiction of such Forward Foreign Currency, (ii) with respect to a payment denominated in any other Foreign Currency, 1:00 p.m., London time, or (iii) with respect to a payment denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m., Charlotte time. Any payment made as required hereinabove, but after the applicable time specified above, shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except in the case of LIBOR Loans to which the provisions of Section 2.10(iv) are applicable), and such extension of time shall then be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other applicable amounts.

(b) The Administrative Agent will distribute to the Lenders like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as follows: (i) if the payment is received by (A) (1) with respect to a payment denominated in Japanese Yen, 9:00 a.m., Tokyo time, (2) with respect to a payment denominated in Australian Dollars, 9:00 a.m., Sydney time, or (3) with respect to a payment denominated in any other Forward Foreign Currency, 9:00 a.m., local time for the central bank of the issuing jurisdiction of such Forward Foreign Currency, (B) with respect to a payment denominated in any other Foreign Currency, 1:00 p.m., London time, or (C) with respect to a payment denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m., Charlotte time, in immediately available funds, then the Administrative Agent shall make available to each relevant Lender on the same date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable share of such payment (based on the percentage that the amount of the relevant payment owing to such Lender bears to the total amount of such payment owing to all of the relevant Lenders); and (ii) if such payment is received after the applicable time specified in clause (i), or in other than immediately available funds, then the Administrative Agent shall make available to each relevant Lender its ratable share of such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the next succeeding Business Day (or in the case of uncollected funds, as soon as practicable after collected). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision hereof, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. If the Administrative Agent shall not have made a required distribution to the appropriate Lenders as required hereinabove after receiving a payment for the account of such Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each such Lender, on demand, its ratable share of such payment with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount was required to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent until the date repaid to such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Issuing Bank like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as set forth hereinabove with respect to distributions of amounts to the Lenders.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an 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 such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing 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 the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) All computations of interest and fees hereunder (including computations of the Reserve Requirement) shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of (i) in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent or on LIBOR Loans denominated in Sterling, 365/366 days, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other instances, 360 days; and in each case under clause (i) or (ii) above, with regard to the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any Security Trustee pursuant to any Foreign Pledge Document, but subject to any rights of the Security Trustee under such Foreign Pledge Document) from Xxxxxxxx, any U.S. Subsidiary or any Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2 or in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral (other than the Foreign Collateral, but subject to Section 2.12(g)) pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Security Trustee of its remedies shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of U.S. Obligations consisting of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under or in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents;

(ii) second, to the payment of U.S. Obligations consisting of fees owed to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document;

(iii) third, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights against Xxxxxxxx, any U.S. Subsidiary or any Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the U.S. Obligations owing to such Lender;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the U.S. Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest (including fees incurred and interest accruing at the then applicable rate after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event irrespective of whether a claim for such fees incurred and interest accruing is allowed in such proceeding);

(v) fifth, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Obligations (including the payment of any outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and the obligation to Cash Collateralize L/C Exposure, in each case, to the extent constituting U.S. Obligations), and including U.S. Obligations under (A) any Hedge Agreement between Xxxxxxxx, any U.S. Subsidiary or any Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary and any Hedge Party (to the extent such Hedge Agreement is required or permitted hereunder) and (B) any Cash Management Agreement between Xxxxxxxx, any U.S. Subsidiary or any Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary and any Cash Management Bank;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of Foreign Subsidiary Obligations remaining outstanding, to be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(f);

(vii) seventh, to the payment of all other Obligations and other obligations that shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid; and

(viii) eighth, to the payment of the surplus (if any) to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (x) all amounts shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (and Hedge Parties and Cash Management Banks, as applicable) in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other U.S. Obligations owed to them respectively pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vii) above; and (y) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause (v) above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent to Cash Collateralize L/C Exposure pursuant to Section 3.8.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any Security Trustee pursuant to any Foreign Pledge Document, but subject to any rights of the Security Trustee under such Foreign Pledge Document) from any Foreign Subsidiary (other than a Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary) after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2 or in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Foreign Collateral (subject to Section 2.12(g)) pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Security Trustee of its remedies shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of Foreign Subsidiary Obligations consisting of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Foreign Collateral under or in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents;

(ii) second, to the payment of Foreign Subsidiary Obligations consisting of fees owed to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document;

(iii) third, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights against the Foreign Subsidiaries (other than the Disregarded Foreign Subsidiaries) under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations owing to such Lender;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest (including fees incurred and interest accruing at the then applicable rate after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event irrespective of whether a claim for such fees incurred and interest accruing is allowed in such proceeding);

(v) fifth, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations (including the payment of any outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and the obligation to Cash Collateralize L/C Exposure, in each case, to the extent constituting Foreign Subsidiary Obligations), and including Obligations under (A) any Hedge Agreement between any Foreign Subsidiary (other than a Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary) and any Hedge Party (to the extent such Hedge Agreement is required or permitted hereunder) and (B) any Cash Management Agreement between any Foreign Subsidiary (other than a Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary) and any Cash Management Bank;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of all other Foreign Subsidiary Obligations and other obligations of a Foreign Subsidiary that shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid; and

(vii) seventh, to the payment of the surplus (if any) to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus (subject to Section 2.12(g)).

In carrying out the foregoing, (x) all amounts shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (and Hedge Parties and Cash Management Banks, as applicable) in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Foreign Subsidiary Obligations owed to them respectively pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) above; and (y) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause (v) above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent to Cash Collateralize L/C Exposure pursuant to Section 3.8.

(g) Proceeds from any sale of, collection from or other realization of any Foreign Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Security Trustee of its remedies shall be applied only to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(f); provided, however, that if, prior to the commencement of any rights or remedies with respect to the voting Capital Stock issued by any Foreign Subsidiary constituting Foreign Collateral, the Administrative Agent and any applicable Security Trustee shall have released their respective Liens on a sufficient amount of voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary so that, at the time of the initial exercise of any right or remedy against the voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Security Trustee shall have a Lien on more than 65% of the voting Capital Stock issued by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, then the Administrative Agent or applicable Security Trustee may apply such proceeds of such voting Capital Stock to U.S. Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(e). In addition, notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Agreement or any Credit Document to the contrary, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or any Security Trustee is not permitted to apply the proceeds of any Foreign Collateral in accordance with Section 2.12(e) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and there are surplus proceeds required to be paid to the

pledgor of such Foreign Collateral pursuant to Section 2.12(f)(vii), (i) no payment to the pledgor of such Foreign Collateral of any surplus proceeds shall be made to a deposit account in which the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender has any Lien or right of setoff and (ii) such pledgor shall not have any obligation to maintain any such surplus proceeds in any deposit account in which the Administrative Agent or any Security Trustee shall have a Lien. The Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, or shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, release, and direct each Security Trustee to release, such Liens as are contemplated to be released by this Section 2.12(g) to permit application of proceeds in accordance Section 2.12(e).

(h) All monies received by Xxxxx Fargo, in its capacity as Administrative Agent or as any Security Trustee, except for monies received by any Security Trustee under or pursuant to any Foreign Pledge Document, shall be deemed received by Xxxxx Fargo in its capacity as Administrative Agent.

2.13 Recovery of Payments.

(a) Each Borrower agrees if such Borrower makes a payment or payments to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause (whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), then, to the extent of such invalidation, declaration, setting aside or repayment, the Obligation intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

(b) If any amounts distributed by the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank are subsequently returned or repaid by the Administrative Agent to a Borrower, its representative or successor in interest, or any other Person, whether by court order, by settlement approved by the Lender in question, or pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, promptly upon receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, pay the Administrative Agent such amount. If any such amounts are recovered by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower, its representative or successor in interest or such other Person, the Administrative Agent shall redistribute such amounts to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank on the same basis as such amounts were originally distributed.

2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used (i) to repay the Existing Senior Credit Facilities and the other Terminating Indebtedness in full, (ii) to pay or reimburse permitted fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents and (iii) to provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including to finance Capital Expenditures, Permitted Acquisitions, Investments and Restricted Payments to the extent permitted under, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement).

2.15 Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Except in the case of Swingline Loans, all fundings, continuations and conversions of Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments to provide Loans (in the case of the funding of Loans pursuant to Section 2.2) or on the basis of their respective outstanding Loans (in the case of continuations and conversions of Loans pursuant to Section 2.11, and additionally in all cases if the Commitments have expired or have been terminated). All payments on account of principal of or interest on any Loans, fees or any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any one or more Lenders shall be apportioned ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively.

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder (other than as a result of a right of setoff exercised by a Lender in the ordinary course of business in respect of any fees or expenses owed under any Cash Management Agreement) resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans to a Borrower and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations owed by a Borrower greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans to the applicable Borrower and such other Obligations owed by the applicable Borrower of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them by such Borrower; provided that (A) 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 (B) the provisions of this Section 2.15(b) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) 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 Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15(b) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. If, under any applicable Debtor Relief Laws, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.15(b) applies, then such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.15(b) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

2.16 Increased Costs; Change in Circumstances; Illegality.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except the Reserve Requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity 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, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Xxxxxxxx shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.16(a) or 2.16(b) and delivered to the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the applicable 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 (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (x) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period or (y) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders of their determination that the rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” upon the basis of which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon such notice, (i) all outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (unless then repaid in full), be converted into Base Rate Loans; (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (including with respect to any Borrowing for which the Administrative Agent has received a Notice of Borrowing but for which the Borrowing Date has not arrived); and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then pending or given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans; in each case until the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (and the Required Lenders, if making such determination, shall have so notified the Administrative Agent), and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers and the Lenders.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of making it unlawful for such Lender to make or to continue to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, such

Lender shall forthwith so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. Upon such notice, (i) each of such Lender’s outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Period applicable thereto (or, to the extent any such LIBOR Loan may not lawfully be maintained as a LIBOR Loan until such expiration date, upon such notice) and to the extent not sooner prepaid, be converted into a Base Rate Loan; (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (including with respect to any Borrowing for which the Administrative Agent has received a Notice of Borrowing but for which the Borrowing Date has not arrived); and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then pending or given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans shall, as to such Lender, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan; in each case until such Lender shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist and shall have so notified the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers.

2.17 Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, all Other Taxes.

(d) Each Borrower shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the applicable Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to off set and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.17(e).

(f) With respect to each payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a 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, in each case as soon as practicable after receiving the same.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.17(g)(ii)(A), 2.17(g)(ii)(B) and 2.17(g)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Indirect Tax.

(i) All payments to be made by any Credit Party under or in connection with any Credit Document have been calculated without regard to Indirect Tax. If all or part of any such payment is the consideration for a taxable supply or chargeable with Indirect Tax and such payment is not expressly stated to include Indirect Tax, then, concurrently with when the Credit Party makes such payment:

(A) it shall pay to the applicable Recipient an additional amount equal to such payment (or part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax; and

(B) the applicable Recipient will promptly provide to such Credit Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to such Indirect Tax.

If the additional amount referred to in clause (i) differs from the amount of Indirect Tax payable by the applicable Recipient, the parties will adjust the additional amount accordingly and the Recipient will promptly provide to the Credit Party a tax invoice or adjustment note complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.

(ii) If any Credit Document requires any Credit Party to reimburse any Recipient for any costs or expenses, such Credit Party shall, concurrently with such reimbursement, pay and indemnify such Recipient against all Indirect Tax incurred by such Recipient in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that such Recipient is not entitled to repayment or credit in respect of such Indirect Tax.

(j) UK Relevant Entity Provisions.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.17, any Credit Party who is a UK Relevant Entity is not required to pay additional amounts to a Lender (other than a new Lender pursuant to a request by a Borrower under Section 2.19) pursuant to this Section 2.17 in respect of any Tax that is required by the United Kingdom to be withheld from a payment if at the time the payment falls due (i) the relevant Lender is not a UK Qualifying Lender and such Tax would not have been required to be withheld had such Lender been a UK Qualifying Lender unless the reason that such Lender is not a UK Qualifying Lender is a change after the date on which it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing Governmental Authority; (ii) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of clause (ii) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and (A) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the UK ITA that relates to the payment, (B) such Lender has received from such Credit Party making such payment a certified copy of such Direction and (C) such payment could have been made to such Lender without any withholding or deduction if such Direction had not been made; (iii) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (ii) of

the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and (A) the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to such Credit Party and (B) the payment could have been made to such Lender without any withholding or deduction if such Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to such Credit Party, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled such Credit Party to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the UK ITA; or (iv) the relevant Lender is a UK Treaty Lender and such Credit Party is able to demonstrate that such Tax is required to be withheld as a result of the failure of the relevant Lender to comply with its obligations under this Section 2.17(j)(i). Any Lender that is a Lender in respect of a Loan to the UK Borrower and that is not, or ceases to be, a UK Qualifying Lender, for whatever reason, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the UK Borrower.

(ii) In relation to all payments to be made to a UK Treaty Lender by any Credit Party who is a UK Relevant Entity, such Lender shall cooperate with such Credit Party in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such Credit Party to obtain authorization to make such a payment without a deduction or withholding for or on account of UK Taxes including, to the extent applicable, making and filing an appropriate application for relief under a double taxation agreement. Nothing in this Section 2.17(j)(ii) shall require a UK Treaty Lender to (x) register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme or (y) apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any Loan if it has so registered.

(iii) If a UK Treaty Lender wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme to apply to this Agreement, it shall include an indication to that effect by including its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name on Schedule 1.1(a) and the UK Borrower shall file a duly completed DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the Closing Date and shall promptly provide such UK Treaty Lender with a copy of such filing.

(iv) Any new Lender under an Assignment and Assumption that is a UK Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme, and which then wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to the UK Borrower) in such Assignment and Assumption by including therein its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence. The UK Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of each new Lender complies with the previous sentence with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing.

(k) Australian Borrower Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.17, the Australian Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts to a Lender (other than a new Lender pursuant to a request by a Borrower under Section 2.19) pursuant to this Section 2.17 in respect of any Tax that is required by Australia to be withheld from a payment:

(i) If at the time the payment falls due:

(A) the relevant Lender is not an Australian Qualifying Lender and such Tax would not have been required to be withheld had such Lender been an Australian Qualifying Lender unless the reason that such Lender is not an Australian Qualifying Lender is a change after the date on which it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or published concession of any relevant Governmental Authority; or

(B) the relevant Lender is an Australian Treaty Lender and the Australian Borrower is able to demonstrate that such Tax is required to be withheld as a result of the failure of the relevant Lender to comply with its obligations under this Section 2.17(k)(i).

Any Lender that is a Lender in respect of a Loan to the Australian Borrower and that is not, or ceases to be, an Australian Qualifying Lender, for whatever reason, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Australian Borrower. In relation to all payments to be made to an Australian Treaty Lender by the Australian Borrower, such Lender shall cooperate, to the extent it is able to do so, with the Australian Borrower in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Australian Borrower to obtain authorization to make such a payment without a deduction or withholding for or on account of Australian Taxes including, to the extent applicable, making and filing an appropriate application for relief under a double taxation agreement; or

(ii) to the extent that the relevant deduction or withholding would not have arisen if the Lender had provided the Australian Borrower with its tax file number, Australian Business Number or other exemption details.

(l) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

2.18 Compensation. Each Borrower will compensate each Lender upon demand for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans) that such Lender may incur or sustain (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, a LIBOR Loan to such Borrower does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as a result of any action or inaction by a Borrower; (ii) if any repayment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan to such Borrower occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a consequence of any assignment made pursuant to Section 2.19(a) or any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2); (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan to such Borrower is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by such Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any other failure by such Borrower to make any payments with respect to any LIBOR Loan to such Borrower when due hereunder. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded its

relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 2.18. A certificate (which shall be in reasonable detail) showing the bases for the determinations set forth in this Section 2.18 by any Lender as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be submitted by such Lender to the applicable Borrower either directly or through the Administrative Agent. Determinations set forth in any such certificate made in good faith for purposes of this Section 2.18 of any such losses, expenses or liabilities shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall (at the request of such Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment requested by it.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant Section 2.17, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.19(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Xxxxxxxx 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, and consents required by, Section 11.6), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) Xxxxxxxx shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.6(b)(iv);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and any funded participations in Letters of Credit not refinanced through a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.18) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a request for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non- Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Xxxxxxxx to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In the event any Lender fails to execute the assignment in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section 2.19, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, upon two Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender, execute such assignment on behalf of such Lender (provided that such Lender has received all amounts to which it is entitled under this Section 2.19), and each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which shall be coupled with an interest) for such purpose.

2.20 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 11.5.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender hereunder;

(C) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan;

(D) fourth, as Xxxxxxxx may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(E) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Xxxxxxxx, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;

(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(G) seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(H) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any L/C Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, then such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid by the applicable Borrower to such Defaulting Lender for the applicable Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Defaulting Lender and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Xxxxxxxx shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the letter of credit fee pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its ratable share of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.20(c).

(C) With respect to any letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iii)(B), the applicable Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv), (y) pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure shall automatically (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Credit Exposures (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and, unless any Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, each Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such condition is satisfied at such time) and (y) such reallocation does not cause the Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.

(v) If the reallocation described in Section 2.20(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and its Swingline Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20(c).

(b) If each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Credit Exposures (without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to

be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two Business Days upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender, which such Defaulting Lender may provide in its discretion).

(i) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not comprising funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(ii). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.20 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Exposure or Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. Without limiting the foregoing, any Cash Collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall only secure L/C Exposure related to Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Foreign Subsidiary and Swingline Loans made to a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

(iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as

appropriate, its assignee)) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.20 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.15) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.21 Increase in Commitments.

(a) From time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, Xxxxxxxx may, upon at least 20 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders), propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an amount which (i) is not less than $25,000,000 and, if greater, an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, with respect to any such request and (ii) when aggregated with all prior and concurrent increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21, is not in excess of $100,000,000. Xxxxxxxx may increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by (x) having another lender or lenders (each, an “Additional Lender”) become party to this Agreement, (y) agreeing with any Lender (with the consent of such Lender in its sole discretion) to increase its Commitment hereunder (each, an “Increasing Lender”) or (z) a combination of the procedures described in clauses (x) and (y) above; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment without its consent.

(b) Any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) Each Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the applicable increase date duly executed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Borrower approving or consenting to such increase;

(ii) Each of the representations and warranties contained in Article V qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct and those not so qualified shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case on and as of the date of such increase with the same effect as if made on and as of such date, both immediately before and after giving effect to such increase (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such date);

(iii) Immediately after giving effect to such increase and any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, Xxxxxxxx shall be in compliance with Section 7.1 (determined on a Pro Forma Basis for the Reference Period then most recently ended for which Xxxxxxxx has delivered the financial statements required by Section 6.1 (and a Compliance Certificate)); and

(iv) At the time of such increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such increase.

(c) Upon any increase in the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21 (each, an “Additional Commitment”):

(i) Each Additional Lender and Increasing Lender shall enter into a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which such Additional Lender or Increasing Lender shall, as of the effective date of such increase, undertake an Additional Commitment (or, in the case of an Increasing Lender, pursuant to which such Increasing Lender’s Commitment shall be increased in the agreed amount on such date) and such Additional Lender shall thereupon become (or, if an Increasing Lender, continue to be) a “Lender” for all purposes hereof.

(ii) Each Borrower shall, as applicable, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Loans and incur additional Loans from other Lenders, pursuant to a reallocation agreement or otherwise, so that the Lenders participate in each Borrowing pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21). Amounts payable under Section 2.18 as a result of the actions required to be taken under this Section 2.21 shall be paid in full by the applicable Borrower or Borrowers.

(iii) If any such Additional Lender is a Foreign Lender, such Additional Lender shall deliver the forms required by Section 2.17.

(d) Each Additional Commitment shall be made on the same terms as the Commitments in existence immediately prior to the date of such Additional Commitment; provided, however, that (i) the interest rates, commitment fees and upfront fees payable (collectively, the “Financing Terms”) pursuant to an Additional Commitment may be different than those payable pursuant to the Commitments in existence immediately prior to the date of such Additional Commitment (such Commitments, the “Existing Commitments”); (ii) all Additional Commitments made in connection with a single request by Xxxxxxxx in accordance with Section 2.21(a) shall be made on the same Financing Terms; and (iii) if any Additional Commitment is made on Financing Terms more favorable (to the applicable Lender) than are the Financing Terms of the Existing Commitments, then the Financing Terms of the Existing Commitments shall be automatically increased to the extent necessary to equal the Financing Terms of such Additional Commitment, and each Borrower agrees to execute any amendments and take any other actions that are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to document such increase; provided further that, in determining the Financing Terms of any Additional Commitment or the Existing Commitments, (x) upfront fees payable under the Existing Commitments or any Additional Commitment in the initial primary syndication thereof

(with such upfront fees being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life-to-maturity) and the effects of any and all interest rate floors shall be included; and (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Existing Commitments or to one or more arrangers or their respective Affiliates in connection with any Additional Commitment shall be excluded.

2.22 Additional Reserve Costs.

(a) If and for so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans in any Foreign Currency, such Lender may require a Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each such LIBOR Loan, additional interest on such LIBOR Loan at a rate per annum equal to the rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Schedule 1.1(b).

(b) If and for so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Reserve Requirement or in Section 2.22(a)) in respect of any of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans in any Foreign Currency, such Lender may require a Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such LIBOR Loan at a rate per annum certified by such Lender to be its reasonable determination of the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such LIBOR Loan.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to Section 2.22(a) or 2.22(b) shall be determined by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in reasonable detail at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant 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.

2.23 Amend and Extend Transactions. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers and any Lender may agree, by notice to the Administrative Agent (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”), to extend the Maturity Date of such Lender’s Commitment to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice; provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have offered to all Lenders the opportunity to participate in such extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions to each such Lender; (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing prior to or after giving effect to any such extension; (iii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity date, the extended Commitments shall have the same terms as the Commitments as of the date of such Extension Notice; (iv) after giving effect to any such extension, there shall be no more than two separate Maturity Dates in effect for all Commitments; and (v) all documentation in respect of such extension shall be consistent with the foregoing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. In connection with any such extension, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, with the approval of the extending Lenders, may effect such

amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Xxxxxxxx, to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Xxxxxxxx in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.23. Any extension of the Commitments shall require the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender to the extent that such extension provides for the issuance of Letters of Credit or the borrowing of Swingline Loans at any time during such extended period.

ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 Issuance. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Issuing Bank will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the L/C Maturity Date and (ii) the Termination Date, and upon request by Xxxxxxxx on behalf of a Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, issue for the account of such Borrower or its Subsidiaries one or more irrevocable standby or commercial letters of credit denominated in any Currency and in a form customarily used or otherwise approved by such Issuing Bank (together with all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto, substitutions therefor and renewals and restatements thereof, and together with the Existing Letters of Credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”); provided that any Letter of Credit requested to be issued for the account of a Foreign Subsidiary must be requested by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (it being understood that such request may be made by Xxxxxxxx on behalf of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower). The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000, or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a) No Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of a Borrower or its Subsidiaries if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the Dollar Amount of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when added to the aggregate L/C Exposure of the Lenders at such time, would exceed the L/C Subcommitment; (ii) the Dollar Amount of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when added to the Aggregate Credit Exposure, would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time; (iii) the Dollar Amount of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when added to the Credit Extended to such Borrower at such time, would exceed such Borrower’s Sublimit; or (iv) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable Issuing Bank has entered into an arrangement, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with such Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as reasonably determined by such Issuing Bank;

(b) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, or otherwise will benefit, a Subsidiary of any Borrower, such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit (and each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the benefit of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries);

(c) No Letter of Credit shall be issued that by its terms expires later than the L/C Maturity Date or, in any event, more than one year after its date of issuance; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, if requested by a Borrower, provide by its terms, and on terms acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, for renewal for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the L/C Maturity Date), unless and until the applicable Issuing Bank shall have delivered a notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(d) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, at the time of such proposed issuance, (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Bank as of the Closing Date and that such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it, or (ii) such Issuing Bank shall have actual knowledge, or shall have received notice from any Lender, prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 4.1 (if applicable) or 4.2 are not then satisfied (or have not been waived in writing as required herein) or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate the provisions of Section 3.1(a); and

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Borrower shall request that any Existing Letter of Credit (other than letter of credit number F854999, issued by SunTrust for the account of Xxxxxxxx in favor of Societe Generale) be amended (other than to reduce the Stated Amount thereunder), renewed, or extended, and each Borrower hereby requests that SunTrust, as Issuing Bank with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit, provide timely notice of non-renewal to the beneficiary of each such Existing Letter of Credit that has an automatic renewal provision (to the extent any such Existing Letter of Credit remains outstanding at the deadline for delivering a notice of non-renewal), and (ii) all Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement (excluding the Existing Letters of Credit, but including any Letters of Credit issued in replacement of or in substitution for the Existing Letters of Credit) shall be issued by Xxxxx Fargo, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, or such other Lender as approved by the Administrative Agent and Xxxxxxxx (in accordance with the definition of Issuing Bank hereunder), in its capacity as Issuing Bank.

3.2 Notices. Whenever any Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Xxxxxxxx shall give any Issuing Bank written notice on behalf of such Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Xxxxxxxx to give any such notice from time to time in any form or substance as permitted under this Section 3.2) with a copy to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in any given case) prior to the requested date of issuance thereof. Each such notice (each, a “Letter of Credit Notice”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-4 and shall specify (i) the requested date of issuance, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the requested Stated Amount, Currency and expiry date of the Letter of Credit and (iii) the name and address of the requested beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Letter of Credit. The applicable Borrower shall also complete any application procedures and documents reasonably required by the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Upon its issuance of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such issuance, and the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each Lender. The renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall, for purposes of this Article III, be treated in all respects as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

3.3 Participations. Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty (except for the absence of Liens thereon created, incurred or suffered to exist by, through or under such Issuing Bank), an undivided interest and participation, pro rata (based on the percentage of the aggregate Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment), in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto and any Collateral or other security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided, however, that the fee relating to Letters of Credit described in Section 2.9(b)(ii) shall be payable directly to such Issuing Bank as provided therein, and the other Lenders shall have no right to receive any portion thereof. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on the Lender L/C Obligation Payment Date, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as provided above) of each Reimbursement Obligation (plus interest thereon) not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the applicable Reimbursement Obligation Repayment Date as provided in Section 3.4 or through the Borrowing of Revolving Loans as provided in Section 3.5 (because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied, or for any other reason), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Upon any change in the Commitments of any of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21 or 11.6(a), with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.3 to reflect the new pro rata shares of any Additional Lenders or Increasing Lenders or the assigning Lender and the assignee, as the case may be. Each Lender’s obligation to make payment to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the termination of the Commitments or the existence of any Default or Event of Default, and each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, reduction or withholding whatsoever.

3.4 Reimbursement. Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank by making payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, for any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, together with interest thereon payable as provided hereinbelow, a “Reimbursement Obligation”) on the Reimbursement Obligation Repayment Date (provided that any such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed timely satisfied (but nevertheless subject to the payment of interest thereon as provided hereinbelow) if satisfied pursuant to a Borrowing of Revolving Loans made on the date of such payment by such Issuing Bank, as set forth more completely in Section 3.5), together with interest on the amount so paid by such Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 p.m., Charlotte time, on the date of such payment or disbursement, for the period from the date of the respective payment to the date the Reimbursement Obligation created thereby is satisfied, at the Adjusted Base Rate (or, if such Reimbursement Obligation is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to such Currency for an Interest Period of one month) as in effect from time to time during such period, such interest also to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Bank shall provide the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower with prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made or to be made under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, although the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall not release, diminish or otherwise affect such Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.4 or any other provision of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any such amounts received by it under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Payment by Revolving Loans. In the event that any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower shall not have timely satisfied in full its Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.4, and to the extent that any amounts then held in the Cash Collateral Account established pursuant to Section 3.8 shall be insufficient to satisfy in full such Reimbursement Obligation (plus any accrued interest thereon), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of such failure. Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, its pro rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment) of such Reimbursement Obligation (plus interest thereon to the Lender L/C Obligation Payment Date) on or before the Lender L/C Obligation Payment Date. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its pro rata share of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for each day from the Lender L/C Obligation Payment Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s pro rata share of any such payment. Each such payment by a Lender under this Section 3.5 of its pro rata share of an amount paid by an Issuing Bank shall constitute a Revolving Loan by such Lender (the applicable Borrower being deemed to have given a timely

Notice of Borrowing therefor) and shall be treated as such for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, for purposes of determining the aggregate Unutilized Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Reimbursement Obligation being satisfied thereby shall be deemed not to be outstanding at such time. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the failure of the amount of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans to meet any minimum Borrowing amount specified in Section 2.2(b); provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than delivery by any Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing).

3.6 Payment to Lenders. Whenever any Issuing Bank receives a payment in respect of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received, for the account of such Issuing Bank, any payments from the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.5, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender that has paid its pro rata share thereof, in immediately available funds in the appropriate Currency, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based on the proportionate amount funded by such Lender to the aggregate amount funded by all Lenders) of such Reimbursement Obligation.

3.7 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of each Borrower shall be irrevocable, shall remain in effect until the applicable Issuing Bank shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit, and shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents or instruments relating to any Letter of Credit;

(b) Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit or any documents or instruments relating thereto, in each case whether or not the applicable Borrower has notice or knowledge thereof;

(c) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the applicable Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, any other Borrower or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(d) Any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect (provided that such draft, certificate or other document appears on its face to substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, facsimile or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in interpretation of technical terms;

(e) Any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit (provided that any draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit appears on its face to substantially comply with the terms thereof), any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of such drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(f) The exchange, release, surrender or impairment of any Collateral or other security for the Obligations;

(g) The occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(h) Any other circumstance or event whatsoever, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon each Borrower and Lender and shall not create or result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to any Borrower or Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that, for purposes of determining whether a wrongful payment under a Letter of Credit resulted from an Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (i) such Issuing Bank’s acceptance of documents that appear on their face to substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, (ii) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (iii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank.

3.8 Cash Collateral Account. At any time and from time to time (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders shall, require (A) Xxxxxxxx to deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional amount of cash, in the appropriate Currency

or Currencies, as is equal to 105% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) and (B) the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers to deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional amount of cash, in the appropriate Currency or Currencies, as is equal to 105% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding that were issued for the account of a Foreign Subsidiary (whether or not any beneficiary under any such Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) and (ii) in the event of a prepayment under Section 2.6(b) or 2.6(c), the Administrative Agent will retain such amount as may then be required to be retained, such amounts in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above to be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts (the “Cash Collateral Accounts”). Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in the Cash Collateral Accounts and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for such Borrower’s L/C Obligations, and for application to such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations as and when the same shall arise; provided that any Cash Collateral provided pursuant to this Section 3.8 by the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers shall (x) be maintained in a separate and distinct Cash Collateral Account from the Cash Collateral Account in which Cash Collateral provided by Xxxxxxxx is maintained and (y) secure only L/C Obligations related to Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Foreign Subsidiary. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Cash Collateral Accounts. Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of Xxxxxxxx (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Administrative Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Accounts shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such accounts. In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by any Issuing Bank, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in any Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Issuing Bank an amount from the appropriate Cash Collateral Account equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor; provided that if the amounts so delivered by the Administrative Agent are denominated in a Currency different than that in which the corresponding Reimbursement Obligation is denominated, the Administrative Agent shall determine the amount to deliver by reference to the Spot Rate with respect to such Currencies at such time, and such determination shall be correct absent manifest error. Any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account (including interest) after the expiration of all Letters of Credit and reimbursement in full of each Issuing Bank for all of its obligations thereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to be applied against the Obligations in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may direct; provided that no Cash Collateral (or applicable interest) provided by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may be applied to any U.S. Obligation. If any Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.6(b), such amount (including interest), to the extent not applied as aforesaid, shall be returned to such Borrower on demand; provided that after giving effect to such return (i) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time. If any Borrower is required to provide Cash

Collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

3.9 The Issuing Banks. Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the rights, benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by it in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and any documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included the Issuing Banks with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Banks.

3.10 Effectiveness. Notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments or repayment of the Loans, or both, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Article III shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

5.1 Corporate Organization and Power. Each Consolidated Entity (i) that is not an Immaterial Subsidiary is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is recognized) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, as the case may be (which jurisdictions, as of the Closing Date, are set forth on Schedule 5.1), (ii) has the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party, to own and hold its property and to engage in its business as presently conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such concept is recognized) in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership of its properties requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Authorization; Enforceability. Each Consolidated Entity has taken, or on the Closing Date will have taken, all necessary action, as applicable, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and has, or on the Closing Date (or any later date of execution and delivery) will have, validly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Credit Documents upon execution and delivery will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Consolidated Entity that is a party hereto or thereto, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles or by principles of good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

5.3 No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by each Consolidated Entity of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and compliance by it with the terms hereof and thereof, do not and will not (i) violate any provision of its articles or certificate of incorporation or formation, its bylaws, constitutional documents or operating agreement, or other applicable formation or organizational documents, (ii) contravene any other Requirement of Law applicable to it, (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with notice, lapse of time or both) a default under any indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement, contract or other instrument to which it is a party, by which it or any of its properties is bound or to which it is subject, or (iv) except for the Liens granted in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties, revenues or assets; except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, where such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4 Governmental and Third-Party Authorization; Permits. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, notice to, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is or will be required as a condition to or otherwise in connection with the due execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to which it is a party or the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, other than (i) filings of UCC financing statements and other instruments, registration and actions necessary to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents, (ii) consents, authorizations and filings that have been (or on or prior to the Closing Date will have been) made or obtained and that are (or on the Closing Date will be) in full force and effect, which consents,

5.5 Litigation. There are no actions, investigations, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, at law, in equity or in arbitration, before any court, other Governmental Authority, arbitrator or other Person, (i) against or affecting any of the Consolidated Entities or any of their respective properties that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) on the Closing Date, with respect to this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

5.6 Taxes. Each Consolidated Entity has timely filed all federal, national, state, provincial, local and foreign income tax returns and all other material federal, national, state, provincial, local and foreign tax returns and reports required to be filed by it except, in the case of tax returns or reports that may be required to be filed in jurisdictions other than the United States or political subdivisions thereof, those foreign tax returns or reports that, in the aggregate, would not reflect an amount of taxes owing that would be material. Such returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Consolidated Entities for the periods covered thereby. Each Consolidated Entity has paid all taxes and other amounts shown to be due and payable on such returns or reports or on any assessments made against it or its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except where the same are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Consolidated Entity has set aside on its books adequate reserves.

Except for the shares of Capital Stock and the other equity arrangements expressly indicated on Schedule 5.7, as of the Closing Date there are no shares of Capital Stock, warrants, rights, options or other equity securities, or other Capital Stock of any U.S. Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Borrower outstanding or reserved for any purpose.

5.8 Full Disclosure. All factual information heretofore, contemporaneously or hereafter furnished in writing to the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender by or on behalf of any Consolidated Entity for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is or will be true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified (or, if such information has been updated, amended or supplemented, on the date as of which any such update, amendment or supplement is dated or certified) and not made incomplete by omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projections, budgets and other estimates, except as specifically represented in Section 5.11(c), each Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

No Consolidated Entity is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase or carry any Margin Stock, to extend credit for such purpose or for any other purpose, in each case that would violate or be inconsistent with Regulations T, U or X or any provision of the Exchange Act.

Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject, with respect to the unaudited financial statements, to the absence of notes required by GAAP and to normal year-end adjustments) and present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of Xxxxxxxx and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations of Xxxxxxxx and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the respective periods then ended. Except as fully reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to above and the notes thereto, there are no material liabilities or obligations with respect to Xxxxxxxx and its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) that are required in accordance with GAAP to be reflected in such financial statements and that are not so reflected.

(b) The Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects adjustments made on a pro forma basis to give effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on the Closing Date, all as if such events had occurred on the date as of which the Pro Forma Balance Sheet is prepared. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on stated assumptions made in good faith and having a reasonable basis set forth therein, presents fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Xxxxxxxx and its Subsidiaries on an unaudited pro forma basis as of the date set forth therein after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions described above.

(c) Xxxxxxxx has prepared, and has heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent a copy of, projected consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows of the Consolidated Entities (consisting of balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows prepared by Xxxxxxxx) through the end of fiscal year 2014, giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Projections”). In the good faith opinion of management of each Borrower, the assumptions used in the preparation of the Projections were fair, complete and reasonable when made and continue to be fair, complete and reasonable as of the date hereof. The Projections have been prepared in good faith by the executive and financial personnel of Xxxxxxxx, are complete and represent a reasonable estimate of the future performance and financial condition of Xxxxxxxx and its Subsidiaries, subject to the uncertainties and approximations inherent in any projections (it being understood that such Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material).

No ERISA Event that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (i) has occurred within the five-year period prior to the Closing Date, (ii) has occurred and is continuing, or (iii) to the knowledge of any Borrower, is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan.

No Multiemployer Plan is in “reorganization” or is “insolvent” within the meaning of such terms under ERISA.

(c) Each Non-U.S. Pension Plan is in compliance with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

With respect to each Non-U.S. Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities

in accordance with applicable law or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Non-U.S. Pension Plan is maintained.

No claim has been asserted or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Borrower know of any such claim, and to the knowledge of each Borrower, the use of such Intellectual Property by any Consolidated Entity does not infringe on the known rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Xxxxxxxx will deliver to the Administrative Agent:

(d) With respect to the U.S. Subsidiaries and Disregarded Foreign Subsidiaries that are not Credit Parties, if any (each a “Specified Person”), if, as of the end of any fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, it is determined that (i)(A) the consolidated revenue or Consolidated EBITDA of such Specified Persons for the Reference Period ending on such date exceeds 10% of the consolidated revenues or Consolidated EBITDA, as applicable, of Xxxxxxxx, the U.S. Subsidiaries and the Disregarded Foreign Subsidiaries (without regard to any other Foreign Subsidiary), or (B) the total assets of such Specified Persons as of such date exceeds 10% of the total assets of Xxxxxxxx, the U.S. Subsidiaries and the Disregarded Foreign Subsidiaries (without regard to any other Foreign Subsidiary), or (ii) to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing, any Subsidiary of Xxxxxxxx owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the Capital Stock of such Specified Persons, then, in either case, the Borrowers shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, cause such number of such Specified Persons and the applicable Persons described in clause (ii) to become Credit Parties in accordance with this Section 6.9 as is necessary to cause the matters described in clause (i) to cease to be true after giving pro forma effect to any such Specified Person’s becoming a Credit Party.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders (for purposes of this Article X, references to the Lenders shall also mean the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Section 10.6, the provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither any Borrower nor any other Consolidated Entity shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any other similar term) herein or in any other Credit Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Xxxxxxxx or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. If a single Person serves in multiple roles hereunder (including as the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender), then no formal instructions or other communication is required with respect to any communication between those roles notwithstanding any requirement hereunder for notice, written or otherwise.

125

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Xxxxxxxx or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.5 and 9.2), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by any Borrower or a Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

126

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

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Xxxxxxxx. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Xxxxxxxx, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or has accepted such appointment, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such note on the Resignation Effective Date.

127

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for in Section 10.6(a). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Xxxxxxxx and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.1 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

10.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand

128

on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents, sub-agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9 and 11.1) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents, sub-agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.9 or 11.1.

10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time (but without any obligation) to take any action with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents that may be deemed by the Administrative Agent in its discretion to be necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into the title of any Person to any Collateral, any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document (A) upon (w) termination of the Commitments, (x) payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent and indemnification obligations not then due and payable and other than Obligations described in the following clause (y), except as expressly set forth therein), (y) termination of, and settlement of all obligations of all Consolidated Entities under, all Hedge Agreements required or permitted by this Agreement to which any Hedge Party is a party and all Cash Management Agreements to which any Cash Management Bank is a party to the extent the terms of such Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Agreements expressly require the termination thereof or settlement of the obligations of any Consolidated Entity thereunder as a result of the termination of the Credit Agreement and (z) expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements (including the posting of cash collateral) satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks shall have been made), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Credit Documents or (C) subject to Section 11.5, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by

the Required Lenders; (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.3(vii); and (iii) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Credit Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10(b).

10.11 Mutatis Mutandis. The provisions of this Article X shall apply to each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Security Trustee mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent; provided that Section 10.12 shall apply only to the UK Security Trustee and Section 10.13 shall apply only to the Australian Security Trustee.

(b) The UK Successor Trustee shall have, subject to the provisions of any Security Document governed by English law, (i) all the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by such Security Document and (ii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted to it and be subject to all the obligations and duties owed by it under such Security Document or any of the Credit Documents.

(c) Nothing in this Article X shall require the UK Security Trustee to act as a trustee at common law or to hold any property on trust in any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom that may not operate under principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.

10.13 Australian Security Trustee.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Hedge Parties and the Cash Management Banks appoint the Australian Security Trustee to act as security trustee under and in connection with the Secured Credit Documents (as defined in the Australian Security Trust Deed) and this Agreement. The Australian Security Trustee accepts this appointment.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Hedge Parties and the Cash Management Banks hereby irrevocably authorizes the Australian Security Trustee to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to it by the terms of any Secured Credit Document, together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental hereto, and agrees to be bound by such action properly taken or properly not taken by the Australian Security Trustee. Any reference in this Agreement to Liens or other security interests stated to be in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be construed so as to include a reference to Liens or other security interests granted in favor of the Australian Security Trustee under any Security Document governed by Australian law.

Nothing in this Article X shall require the Australian Security Trustee to act as a trustee at common law or to hold any property on trust in any jurisdiction outside of Australia that may not operate under principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement:

(i) if to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, to it at the address (or facsimile number) specified for such Person on Schedule 1.1(a); and

(ii) if to any Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in Section 11.4(b), shall be effective as provided in Section 11.4(b).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and any Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication including e-mail or by posting such notices or communications on internet or intranet websites such as SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Article 1.4 or 2.20(d) if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or any Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communication pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or other communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

135

non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with any such communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of any notices or communications through the Platform, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (except that each Lender need not give notice of any such change to the other Lenders in their capacities as such).

11.5 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver or discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party from, any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent shall:

(a) unless agreed to in writing by each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, reduce the rate of or forgive any interest thereon (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required to waive the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce or forgive any fees hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Issuing Bank for its own account) (it being understood that an amendment to the definition of “Leverage Ratio” (or any defined terms used therein) shall not constitute a reduction of any interest rate or fees hereunder); (ii) extend the final scheduled maturity date or any other scheduled date for the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan (including any scheduled date for the mandatory reduction or termination of any Commitments), extend the time of payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or any interest thereon, extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond the L/C Maturity Date, or extend the time of payment of any fees hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Issuing Bank for its own account), (iii) increase any Commitment of any such Lender over the amount thereof in effect or extend the maturity thereof (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments, if agreed to by the Required Lenders or all Lenders (as may be required hereunder with respect to such waiver), shall not constitute such an increase), or (iv) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number or percentage of Lenders, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take or approve, or direct the Administrative Agent to take, any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”);

136

(b) unless agreed to in writing by all of the Lenders, (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.12(g)) or in any other Credit Document), (ii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Material U.S. Subsidiary or Foreign Credit Party from its obligations under the Guaranty (other than (A) as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document or (B) in connection with the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary in a transaction expressly permitted under or pursuant to this Agreement), (iii) change any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents requiring, by its terms, the consent or approval of all the Lenders for such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent, or (iv) except as set forth in Section 2.23, change or waive any provision of Section 2.15, any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document requiring pro rata treatment of any Lenders, or this Section 11.5;

(c) unless agreed to in writing by any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, any Security Trustee or the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required as provided hereinabove to take such action, affect the respective rights or obligations of such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, such Security Trustee or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents; and

(d) unless agreed to in writing by each Hedge Party and Cash Management Bank that would be directly adversely affected thereby in its capacity as such relative to the Lenders, (i) amend the definition of “Secured Obligations” in any Security Document or the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” in the Guaranty (or any similar defined term in any other Credit Document benefiting such Hedge Party), (ii) amend the definition of “Secured Parties” in any Security Document or “Guaranteed Parties” in the Guaranty (or any similar defined term in any other Credit Document benefiting such Hedge Party), (iii) amend any provision regarding priority of payments in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document), or (v) release any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Material U.S. Subsidiary or Foreign Credit Party from its obligations under the Guaranty (other than (A) as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document or (B) in connection with the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction expressly permitted under or pursuant to this Agreement).

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended

137

without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms treats any Defaulting Lender differently (in an adverse manner) than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) if the Administrative Agent and Xxxxxxxx shall have jointly identified (each in its sole discretion) an obvious error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the applicable Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following the posting of such amendment to the Lenders.

11.6 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, except that no Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(e) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.6(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.6(b), participations in Letters of Credit and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned, or (B) in any case not described in clause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding) or (y) the entire Swingline Commitment and the full amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans, in the case of Swingline Loans, in either

138

case, treating contemporaneous assignments related Approved Funds under common management as one assignment for purposes of the minimum amounts, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this Section 11.6(b)(ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans;

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (B) of Section 11.6(b)(i) and, in addition:

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

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

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

(D) the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Commitment;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund no such fee shall be required;

(v) no such assignment shall be made to (A) Xxxxxxxx or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); and

139

(vi) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16(a), 2.16(b), 2.17, 2.18 and 11.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. If requested by or on behalf of the assignee, each Borrower, at its own expense, will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Note or Notes to the order of the assignee (and, if the assigning Lender has retained any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, to the order of the assigning Lender), prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.4 as necessary to reflect, after giving effect to the assignment, the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and (to the extent of any retained interests) the assigning Lender, in substantially the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2, as applicable. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.6(e).

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

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at its address for notices referred to in Schedule 1.1(a) a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and

140

addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by each Borrower and Issuing Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Credit Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.5(a) and clause (i) of Section 11.5(b) that adversely affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16(a), 2.16(b), 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.6(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(b) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a

141

Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

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

(h) Any Lender or Participant may, in connection with any assignment, participation, pledge or proposed assignment, participation or pledge pursuant to this Section 11.6, disclose to the assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed assignee, Participant or pledgee any information relating to the Consolidated Entities furnished to it by or on behalf of any other party hereto; provided that such assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed assignee, Participant or pledgee agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders under Section 11.11.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Xxxxx Fargo assigns all of its Commitments and Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 11.6, Xxxxx Fargo may resign as an Issuing Bank upon written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank; provided that no failure by Xxxxxxxx to make such appointment shall affect the resignation of Xxxxx Fargo as an Issuing Bank. Xxxxx Fargo shall retain all of the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation and all obligations of the Borrowers and the Lenders with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Loans or fund participation interests pursuant to Article III).

11.7 No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustees and the Lenders expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at

142

law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustees or the Lenders or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

11.8 Survival. All representations, warranties and agreements made by or on behalf of any Credit Party in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof or thereof, the making and repayment of the Loans and the issuance and repayment of the Letters of Credit. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or under applicable law to the contrary, the provisions of Section 2.8(f) and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating to indemnification or payment of costs and expenses, including the provisions of Sections 2.16(a), 2.16(b), 2.17, 2.18 and 11.1, shall survive the payment in full of all Loans and Letters of Credit, the termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit, and any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

11.9 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.10 Construction. The headings of the various articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement and the table of contents have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the other Credit Documents, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any of the other Credit Documents, the provision of this Agreement shall control. Any Hedge Agreement between any Borrower and any Hedge Party is an independent agreement governed by the writing provisions of such Hedge Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms applicable to the Loans under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Hedge Agreement, and any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to such Hedge Agreement except as expressly provided therein. Any Cash Management Agreement between any Borrower and any Cash Management Bank is an independent agreement

143

governed by the written provisions of such Cash Management Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms applicable to the Loans under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Cash Management Agreement, and any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to such Cash Management Agreement except as expressly provided therein.

11.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustees, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), except that no disclosure of any Information of the kind referred to in Section 275(1) of the PPSA is permitted unless Section 275(7) of the PPSA applies); (iii) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case, such Persons agree, to the extent permitted by law, to inform Xxxxxxxx promptly in advance thereof); (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any Hedge Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any Hedge Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.11, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (vii) on a confidential basis, to (A) any rating agency in connection with any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the facilities created hereunder or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities created hereunder; (viii) with the consent of each Borrower; or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.11 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower.

For purposes of this Section 11.11, “Information” means all information received from the Consolidated Entities relating to any Consolidated Entity or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Consolidated Entity, provided that, in the case of any received from any Consolidated Entity after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

144

11.12 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main Charlotte, North Carolina, office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (i) the sum originally due to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (ii) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.15(b), then such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

11.13 Obligations of Foreign Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, none of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers nor any other Foreign Subsidiary of Xxxxxxxx (other than Disregarded Foreign Subsidiaries that are Credit Parties) shall be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or otherwise, and none of their assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any obligations (including principal, interest, fees, penalties, premiums, expenses, charges, reimbursements, indemnities or any other U.S. Obligations) in respect of any U.S. Credit Party or Disregard Foreign Subsidiary under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Hedge Agreement, any Cash Management Agreement or any other agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing.

11.14 Joint and Several Liability for Foreign Subsidiary Obligations.

(a) The Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations. The Obligations of the Borrowers are independent of each other, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Borrower to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.

145

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of any Borrower to repay any Obligations incurred by any other Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any Debtor Relief Laws) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is valid and enforceable under applicable law (whether federal, state or provincial and including Debtor Relief Laws).

(c) Each Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all Foreign Subsidiary Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrowers upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 9.1(f) or 9.1(g), and unconditionally promises to pay such Foreign Subsidiary Obligations to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Security Trustee for the account of the Lenders, on demand. Each Borrower further agrees that to the extent that any Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor, the estate of such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

(d) With respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations, the liability of each Borrower hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of the other Borrowers and such Borrower’s liability hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any direction as to application of payment by any other Borrower or by any other party; (ii) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of any other Borrower; (iii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; (iv) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any other Borrower; or (v) any payment made to the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender with respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations that the Administrative Agent, such Security Trustee or such Lender subsequently repay to any other Borrower pursuant to court order in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and such Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of the Consolidated Entities under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Obligations.

(e) With respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations, each Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Security Trustee and each Lender without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (i) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (ii) take and hold security from any guarantor or any other party for the payment of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustees and the Lenders in their discretion may determine; and (iv) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrowers or other obligors.

146

(f) With respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each Borrower hereby waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any collateral, Cash Collateral or other security held from any Borrower, any other guarantor, any Defaulting Lender or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, any Security Trustee’s, or any Lender’s power whatsoever. With respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations, each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than the satisfaction in full of the Termination Requirements, including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower other than the satisfaction in full of the Termination Requirements. The Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender may have against any Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations have been paid. Each Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Borrower against any other Borrower or any other party or any security.

(g) With respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations, each Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which each Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, any Security Trustee nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Borrower of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

(h) With respect to the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations, each Borrower hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders against any other Borrower or any other guarantor of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations of any Borrower owing to the Lenders and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any such party that it may at any time otherwise have until such time as (i) the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations hereunder have been paid (other than any indemnification obligations and obligations under Hedge Agreements, in each case not

147

due and payable), (ii) the Commitments have been terminated and (iii) the termination and settlement of all obligations of all Borrowers under each Hedge Agreement to which any such Borrower and any Hedge Party are parties (collectively, the “Termination Requirements”). Each Borrower hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustees and the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any party liable on any Foreign Subsidiary Obligations, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations of any Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders to secure payment of the Foreign Subsidiary Obligations of any Borrowers until such time as the Termination Requirements shall have been satisfied.

(i) Each Borrower agrees that all indebtedness and other obligations, whether now or hereafter existing, of any Consolidated Entity to such Borrower, and any intercompany receivables, together with any interest thereon, shall be, and hereby are, subordinated and made junior in right of payment to the Obligations. Each Borrower further agrees that if any amount shall be paid to or any distribution received by it (i) on account of any such indebtedness at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) on account of any such rights of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or reimbursement at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Termination Requirements, such amount or distribution shall be deemed to have been received and to be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Security Trustee (as applicable) in the form received (with any necessary endorsements in the case of written instruments), to be applied against the Obligations, whether or not matured, in accordance with the terms hereof or the applicable Credit Documents and without in any way discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting the liability of such Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

11.15 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (except for the Fee Letter). Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” file format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.16 Disclosure of Information. Each Borrower agrees and consents to the Administrative Agent’s and the Arranger’s disclosure of information relating to this transaction to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications. Such information will consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications.

11.17 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender), in each case to the extent it is subject to the PATRIOT Act, hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to

148

obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

11.18 Australian Code of Banking Practice. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Australian Code of Banking Practice does not apply to this Agreement or the transactions in connection with it.

11.19 Ontario Limitations Act. Each of the parties hereto agree that any and all limitation periods provided for in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario) shall be excluded from application to the Obligations and any undertaking, covenant, indemnity or other agreement of any Credit Party provided for in any Credit Document to which it is a party in respect thereof, in each case to fullest extent permitted by such Act.

149
