2.01. Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans. Subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period for the Revolving Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

(b) Euro Term Loans. Subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Euro Term Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower one Euro Term Loan on the Closing Date in Euros and in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Euro Term Commitment as in effect on the Closing Date. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of the Euro Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Euro Term Loans shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of Euro Term Loans shall consist of Euro Term Loans made simultaneously by the Euro Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages with respect to the Euro Term Facility.

(c) Incremental Term Loans. Subject to Section 2.01(d), on the effective date of any applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement, each Lender party thereto severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”) in a single advance to the Borrower in Dollars or an Alternative Currency in the amount of its Incremental Term Loan Commitment as set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Agreement. Amounts repaid on the Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Incremental Term Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

(d) Increases of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; Institution of Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to increase (in one or more increases) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) or borrow one or more Incremental Term Loans (which may, at the option of the Borrower, consist of an increase to an existing Class of outstanding Term Loans or a new Class of Term Loans) at any time prior to the Latest Maturity Date. Any incurrence of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and any increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of all increases in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) plus (B) the aggregate original principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(c) shall not exceed the sum of (x)

$150,000,000 plus (y) the principal amount of Loans and/or Aggregate Revolving Commitments that, on a Pro Forma Basis at the time of determination, would not cause the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio to be greater than 2.75 to 1.00 (for this purpose, calculated as if any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments are senior secured (even if not) and were fully drawn and determined without regard to the netting of any cash proceeds from the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans), but excluding any substantially simultaneously debt incurrence pursuant to clause (x) (it being understood that Loans and/or Revolving Commitments may be incurred under both clauses (x) and (y) may be utilized in a single transaction by first calculating the incurrence under clause (y) and then calculating the incurrence under clause (x));

(ii) subject to Section 2.01(g), no Default (or, in the case of an Incremental Facility the proceeds of which will be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, no Default under Sections 9.01(a) or 9.01(f)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which such increase or borrowing is to become effective;

(iii) subject to Section 2.01(g), the representations and warranties set forth in Article VI shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date on which such increase or borrowing is to become effective, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date in all material respects;

(iv) such increase or borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amounts (a) as shall be remaining under subsection (d)(i) above or (b) as the Administrative Agent may agree);

(v) such requested increase or borrowing shall only be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of (A) additional commitments in a corresponding amount of such requested increase or borrowing from, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, one or more existing Lenders and/or one or more other lenders that qualify as an Eligible Assignee (other than the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) (it being understood and agreed that no existing Lender shall be required to provide an additional commitment) and (B) documentation from each institution providing an additional commitment evidencing its commitment and its obligations under this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which documentation shall take the form of Incremental Term Loan Agreements, in the case of a borrowing of an Incremental Term Loan, and an Intercreditor Agreement by arrangement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent);

(vi) the Administrative Agent shall have received (A) all documents (including resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties) it may reasonably request relating to the corporate or other necessary authority for, and the validity of, such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or borrowing of such Incremental Term Loan, and any other matters relevant thereto, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (B) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that any Incremental Term Loans and/or increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents;

(vii) if the reallocation, if any, of outstanding Loans among the Lenders in connection with such increase results in the prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans on a day which is not

the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall have paid to each affected Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.05;

(viii) subject to clause (xvii) below, the maturity date for any Incremental Term Loan shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Term Loan at such time;

(ix) subject to clause (xvii) below, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity for any Incremental Term Loan shall not be shorter than the longest then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Term Loan;

(x) subject to clause (xvii) below, the interest rate margins and, subject to Section 2.01(d)(ix), the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan; provided, however, that if the Effective Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loan incurred less than 18 months after the Closing Date is more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding Effective Yield for the existing Euro Term Loans, the Applicable Rate with respect to the existing Euro Term Loans, as the case may be, shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Effective Yield with respect to the Incremental Term Loan and the corresponding Effective Yield with respect to Euro Term Loans, as applicable, minus 0.50%;

(xi) subject to Section 2.01(g), the Administrative Agent shall have received a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that the Loan Parties are in compliance with (i) Section 2.01(d)(i) (if applicable) and (ii) the financial covenant set forth in Section 8.11 recomputed as of the end of the period of the four (4) fiscal quarters most recently ended for which financial statements have been (or are required to have been) delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(b) after giving effect to any Incremental Term Loan or increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments on a Pro Forma Basis (for this purpose, calculated as if any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments were fully drawn and determined without regard to the netting of any cash proceeds from the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans);

(xii) the Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu or junior (in each case on terms pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) in right of payment with the Euro Term Loans, and any Refinancing Term Loans or Extended Term Loans incurred by the Borrower with respect thereto and the Liens securing such Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu or junior (in each case on terms pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) with the Liens securing the Euro Term Loans, and any Refinancing Term Loans and Extended Term Loans incurred by the Borrower with respect thereto;

(xiii) [reserved];

(xiv) no Incremental Term Loan or increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments made to the Borrower may be guaranteed by any Person other than a Loan Party, or secured by any asset that does not constitute Collateral securing the Obligations and guarantees thereof by the Loan Parties;

(xv) no Incremental Term Loans (other than with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) may be optionally or mandatorily prepaid prior to the date on which all such Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity are repaid in full,

unless such optional or mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional or mandatory prepayment of such other Classes of Term Loans;

(xvi) any Incremental Term Loan that is implemented by increasing the amount of then-existing Term Loans of any Class (rather than by implementing a new Class of Term Loans) shall have identical terms to such then-existing Class of Term Loans;

(xvii) any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility and any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility, provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facility (except to the extent permitted by subclauses (viii), (ix) or (x) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(xviii) subject to subclause (xvii) above, any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Lenders providing the Incremental Term Facility; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facility or the Revolving Facility, as the case may be (except to the extent permitted above), such terms may, at the option of the Borrower, be incorporated into the Loan Documents to the extent all such terms are beneficial to all existing Lenders without further amendment requirements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the Applicable Rate relating to the existing Term Facility to bring such Applicable Rate in line with the Incremental Term Facility to achieve fungibility with such existing Term Facility.

(e) Special Obligations in Connection with Increases in Aggregate Revolving Commitments and Existing Term Loans. Upon the effectiveness of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.01(d) above, (A) the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders shall be automatically adjusted to give effect to such increase, provided that the amount of each Lender’s Revolving Commitments (other than a Lender whose Revolving Commitments shall have been increased in connection with such increase) shall remain unchanged and (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will use all commercially reasonable efforts to assign and assume outstanding Revolving Loans of the affected category to conform the respective amounts thereof held by each Revolving Lender to the Applicable Percentages as so adjusted, it being understood that the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid prepayment or assignment of any affected Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Commitment added pursuant to any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 2.01(d) shall be deemed a part of the Revolving Facility for all purposes under this Agreement. On the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to any then-existing Class of Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.02 or 2.08, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the same Type and with the same Interest Period (if applicable) of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionally in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the same Type and with the same Interest Period (if applicable) of the applicable Class.

(f) Incremental Amendments. If any amendment to this Agreement is required to give effect to any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the borrowing of an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.01, such amendment shall be effective if executed by the Loan Parties, each Lender providing an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or an increase to the Aggregate Revolving

Commitments and the Administrative Agent (each such amendment is a “Commitment Increase Amendment”) and each Lender hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into such Commitment Increase Amendment.

(g) Limited Condition Acquisitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.01(d), (e) or (f) or any other provision of any Loan Document:

(i) If the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) the requirements of clauses (ii) and (xi) of Section 2.01(d) above shall, at the election of the Borrower, be determined as of the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into, (B) the representations and warranties required to be made pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.01(d) above shall, at the election of the Borrower, be limited to customary “specified representations” and (C) to the extent that such Incremental Term Loans are to be incurred in reliance on clause (d)(i)(y) of Section 2.01(d) above, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio test specified therein shall, at the election of the Borrower, be determined as of the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into.

(ii) If the Borrower has made an election under clause (i)(C) of this Section 2.01(g) for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, Dispositions, Investments, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Subordinated Debt, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant date of determination and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated except (solely in the case of any ratio with respect to the making of Restricted Payments or the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Subordinated Debt) to the extent such calculation on a Pro Forma Basis would result in a lower ratio than if calculated without giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions in connection therewith.

2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans under a given Facility from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Alternative Currencies) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Alternative Currencies) in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of

$500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted and the applicable Facility and Class to which such Loans belong, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (vi) in the case of any Revolving Loans, the currency of the Loans to be borrowed. If the Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing of any Revolving Loans, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, (i) in the case of Term Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans and Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, Base Rate Loans or (ii) in the case of any other Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead (and only in the case of the Revolving Facility) must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount (and, in the case of Revolving Loans, currency) of its Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Loans, and, in the case of Revolving Loans, if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower, as directed by the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing by the Borrower of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to the relevant Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans having Interest Periods greater than one month without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans under a given Facility from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans under a given Facility as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in the aggregate at any time with respect to all Loans under all Facilities.

(f) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that the exercise of such option shall not affect in any manner the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.03. Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency for the account of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that, to the extent that any such Subsidiary is not a Loan Party, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed an Investment in such Subsidiary and shall only be issued so long as it is permitted under Section 8.02), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations of any L/C Issuer shall not exceed such L/C Issuer’s Applicable L/C Sublimit.

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(D) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(E) such L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency;

(F) except as provided in Section 2.03(b)(iv) or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(G) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its reasonable discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv) [Reserved].

(v) Each L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the Applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the Applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the Applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Applicable L/C Issuer

shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Applicable L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Applicable L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the Applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer shall issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). The Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit.

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

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Applicable L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for

reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the Applicable L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If the Borrower is notified prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of any payment by the Applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, then no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (or if notified after such time, then no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency) (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; provided that if such L/C Borrowing is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due in accordance with this clause (c), then Section 2.08(b)(i) shall apply. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

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

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the Applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Applicable L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Applicable L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the Applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage

thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

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

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

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary.

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

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of

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

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

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, 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 L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Applicable L/C Issuer for its own account (except to the extent that the Borrower has provided Cash Collateral with respect to all or a portion of such Letter of Credit, in which case the balance of such fee (or the applicable portion thereof, as applicable) shall not be payable). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and

December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Loans during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Loans separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, at the rate per annum of 0.125% of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

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

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

(l) Provisions Related to Additional Revolving Credit Facilities. If the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in respect of the Revolving Facility occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then, at the Borrower’s option, (i) if one or more Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments in respect of which the expiration date applicable to Letters of Credit issued thereunder shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall, to the extent such Letters of Credit could have been issued under such other Class or Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments (as applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at such time, automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the applicable Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Loans and L/C Advances in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.03(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Class or Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments (as applicable) up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section

2.14(a). Commencing with the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed solely with each L/C Issuer.

(m) Reporting. Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each week (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall agree), each L/C Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such L/C Issuer during such month.

2.04. Swing Line Loans.

(a) Swing Line Loan Commitments. Subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender shall make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower in Dollars in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Swing Line Loan, in no event shall the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.04 may be repaid and reborrowed during prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Commitments shall be paid in full no later than such date.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Swing Line Loans.

(i) Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Loan Notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of the Credit Extension.

(iii) The Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the applicable Credit Extension by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Office. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to the Borrower on the date of the applicable Credit Extension by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iv) With respect to any Swing Line Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(a), the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed date of the Credit Extension, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice given by the Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on such date of Credit Extension in an amount equal to

the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which the Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s pro rata share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of the Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of the Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to the Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Note issued by the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13.

(v) If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; or (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party

thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that the Swing Line Lender had not received prior notice from the Borrower or the Required Revolving Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 5.02 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (B) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 5.02 to the making of such Swing Line Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Revolving Lenders or (C) at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan.

(c) Resignation and Removal of the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender may resign as the Swing Line Lender upon 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. The Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Lender (provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Swing Line Lender has no Swing Line Loans outstanding) and the successor Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swing Line Lender. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, (i) the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the resigning or removed Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such prepayment, the resigning or removed Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation, and (iii) the Borrower shall issue, if so requested by the successor Swing Line Loan Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (x) any successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require.

2.05. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

(i) Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans of a given Class in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (F) below); provided that (A) such notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.01(f) (or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (each, a “Prepayment Notice”), must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (2) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and (3) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (including Swing Line Loans); (B) any such prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Alternative Currencies) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Alternative Currencies) in excess thereof (or the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal

amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (D) any prepayment of Swing Line Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (E) any such Prepayment Notice may be conditioned on the effectiveness of other financing arrangements or one or more other transactions in which case such Prepayment Notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date); and (F) any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans shall be accompanied by an additional fee payment to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.09(b). Each such Prepayment Notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Facility under which such Loan was made (and the Class thereof) and the Type(s) and currencies of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender receiving a prepayment of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such Prepayment Notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such Prepayment Notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Prepayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans of a given Class pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower and, if no direction is given, to the principal repayment installments of such Class of Term Loans in direct order of maturity. Subject to Section 2.15, each prepayment of Loans shall be made to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(i) Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.

(ii) Alternative Currencies. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.

(iii) Excess Cash Flow. Within five Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(b), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to the excess (if any) of (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso below) of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements over (B) the sum of (x) aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) or repurchased and cancelled pursuant to Section 11.06(h) (but limited to the purchase price applicable to such Term Loans rather than the par amount thereof) and (y) the aggregate principal

amount of Revolving Loans prepaid (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments), in each case, during the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period and other than to the extent that any such prepayment is funded with the proceeds of long-term Funded Debt (other than Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or Refinancing Revolving Loans) (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below); provided, that such percentage shall be reduced to 25% or 0% if the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the prior fiscal year was less than 1.90:1.00 or 1.40:1.00, respectively.

(iv) Dispositions. If the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Disposes of any property under Sections 8.05(q) and (s) (solely with respect to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to clause (c) of the proviso contained in Section 8.14) which results in the receipt by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 in any single transaction or in any series of transactions, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds within five Business Days of receipt thereof by such Person (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below); provided, however, that, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a Disposition described in this Section 2.05(b)(iv), at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent promptly after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds), the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade or repair assets useful in the business of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or to make Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted Investments hereunder (other than Permitted Intercompany Investments or investments in cash or Cash Equivalents) within 365 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if the Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually committed within 365 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, 545 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds); and provided further, however, that any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time that any prepayment would be required under this Section 2.05(b)(iv), the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt or any Permitted Refinancing of any such Indebtedness (to the extent secured by Liens on all or a portion of the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the liens securing the Facilities), in each case pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of any such Disposition of, or with respect to, any property or assets constituting Collateral (such Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt (and such Permitted Refinancing of any such Indebtedness) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such net proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) shall be reduced accordingly.

(v) Indebtedness. Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (A) not permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 8.03, (B) that is incurred or issued pursuant to Section 8.03(q) or (C) that is intended to constitute Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to any Class of Term Loans, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (or in the case of

Indebtedness constituting Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, the applicable Class of Term Loans) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below).

(vi) Extraordinary Receipt. Upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in clauses (iv) or (v) of this Section 2.05(b), and which results in the receipt by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 in any fiscal year, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom within 5 Business Days upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below); provided, however, that with respect to any proceeds of insurance, condemnation awards (or payments in lieu thereof) or indemnity payments, at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent prior to or promptly after the date of receipt of such insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or indemnity payments), the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds, within 365 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually committed within 180 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, 545 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds), to replace or repair the equipment, fixed assets or real property in respect of which such cash proceeds were received or otherwise in the amelioration of the loss in respect of which the Net Cash Proceeds were received or to acquire, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade or repair assets useful in the business of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or to make Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted Investments hereunder (other than Permitted Intercompany Investments or investments in cash or Cash Equivalents) or to meet a third party claim; and provided further, however, that any cash proceeds not so applied shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.05(b)(vii).

(vii) Application to Term Loans. Except as otherwise provided in any Commitment Increase Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment or as otherwise provided herein, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied (1) ratably to the Term Loans under each Term Facility and (2) to the principal repayment installments of the respective Class of Term Loans in direct order of maturity; provided that any Net Cash Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied to the applicable Class(es) of Term Loans as required under clause (v) of the first proviso appearing in the definition thereof.

(viii) Limitation of Prepayment Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary (each such Disposition, a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Extraordinary Receipt incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary (each such Extraordinary Receipt, a “Foreign Extraordinary Receipt”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary from being repatriated to the Borrower to repay the Term Loans of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii), (iv) or (vi), as applicable, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay such Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.05(b)(iii), (iv) or (vi) as applicable, but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as the applicable local law or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary will not permit

repatriation to the Borrower (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use, and cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to use, all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions on repatriation and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment and/or use the other cash and Cash Equivalents of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not affected by such restrictions to make the relevant prepayment (an “Alternate Source Prepayment”)), and if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law or applicable organizational documents of such Foreign Subsidiary, then to the extent that an Alternate Source Prepayment of the applicable amount has not been made, an Alternate Source Prepayment shall be made or such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof and additional costs relating to such repatriation) to the repayment of such applicable Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05, or (ii) at any time and to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Administrative Agent, that repatriation (or a requirement to repatriate) to the Borrower to repay the Term Loans of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii), (iv) or (vi), as applicable, of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Extraordinary Receipt or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Foreign Subsidiaries would have material adverse Tax consequences (including any reduction in Tax assets or attributes) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay such Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.05(b)(iii), (iv) or (vi), as applicable, but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as the applicable material adverse Tax consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow remain (each Borrower hereby agreeing to use, and cause their Restricted Subsidiaries to use, all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any material adverse Tax consequences and/or to make an Alternate Source Prepayment), and if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required, the Borrower has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Administrative Agent, that such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have material adverse Tax consequences, then to the extent that an Alternate Source Prepayment of the applicable amount has not been made, an Alternate Source Prepayment shall be made or such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof and additional costs relating to such repatriation) to the repayment of such Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05.

(ix) Declined Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as any Term Loans are outstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to prepay loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii), (iv), (v) (solely with respect to any Indebtedness issued or incurred with respect to Section 8.03(q)) and (vi), each Lender of Term Loans may (but solely to the extent the Borrower elects for this clause (ix) to be applicable to a given prepayment) reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any such mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans. The Borrower may (but shall not be required to) notify the Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(iii), (iv), (v) (solely with respect to any Indebtedness issued or incurred with respect to Section 8.03(q)) and (vi) at least ten Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment that is required to be made

under Section 2.05(b)(iii), (iv), (v) (solely with respect to any Indebtedness issued or incurred with respect to Section 8.03(q)) and (vi). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of any such prepayment notice so received from the Borrower. Any Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any such mandatory prepayment by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) five Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such mandatory prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender of Term Loans shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender of Term Loans. If a Lender of Term Loans fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure shall be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans. The aggregate amount of Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower and may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be counted as Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds in any subsequent fiscal period.

2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an amount not less than the Total Revolving Outstandings (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans); provided that (A) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (B) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Alternative Currency Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess and (D) any such notice may be conditioned on the effectiveness of other financing arrangements or one or more other transactions in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Except as provided in clause (C) of the preceding sentence, the amount of any such Aggregate Revolving Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(b) Mandatory. The aggregate Euro Term Commitments (and the Euro Term Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment) shall terminate in its entirety (to the extent not theretofore terminated) on the Closing Date (after giving effect to any incurrence of Euro Term Loans on such date).

(c) Notification of Commitment Reductions. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Aggregate Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.06.

2.07. Repayments of Loans.

(i) Euro Term Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Euro Term Lender on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Euro Term Loans advanced by such Euro Term Lender to the Borrower on the Closing Date (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05), with the final such payment being in the aggregate principal amount of all Euro Term Loans then outstanding to the Borrower; provided, that the final principal repayment installment of the Euro Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for Euro Term Loans and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Euro Term Loans outstanding on such date; provided, further, that the amount of any such prepayment set forth above shall be adjusted to account for the addition of any Extended Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans made to the Borrower to contemplate (A) the reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Euro Term Loans that were converted in connection with the incurrence of such Extended Term Loans and (B) any increase to payments to the extent and as required pursuant to the terms of any applicable Commitment Increase Amendment involving an increase to the Euro Term Loans.

(ii) Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan in the installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement (as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.05), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02.

(iii) Extended Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each Extended Term Loan in the installments (if applicable), on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment (as such installments, if applicable, may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.05), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02.

(iv) Refinancing Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each Refinancing Term Loan in the installments (if applicable), on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment (as such installments, if applicable, may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.05), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02.

(v) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders (A) under the Revolving Facility on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02, (B) holding Extended Revolving Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, on the Maturity Date with respect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding under such Commitments on such date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02.

2.08. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan of a given Class shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate, as applicable for Loans of such Class maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Loans; (ii) each Base Rate Loan of a given Class shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable

borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans for such Class; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans for Revolving Loans.

(b) (i) If any amount of interest or principal of any Loan or any Obligation is not paid when due after the applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09. Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:

(a) Revolving Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate for commitment fees times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Swing Line Loans) and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Repricing Transaction. At the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Transaction that is consummated prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term Lender with outstanding Euro Term Loans (including each Term Lender that withholds its consent to such Repricing Transaction and is replaced as a Non-Consenting Lender under Section 11.13), a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of (x) in the case of a Repricing Transaction of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Euro Term Loans prepaid in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (y) in the case of a Repricing Transaction described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of Euro Term Loans outstanding on such date that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(c) Fee Letters. The Parent shall pay to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for their own respective accounts fees, in Dollars, in the amounts and at the times specified in the

Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees.

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

2.11. Evidence of Debt.

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

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

2.12. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the

Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after (i) 2:00 p.m (New York City time)., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, may, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (except for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred) and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

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

(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the

amount so distributed to such Lender or the Applicable L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

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

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

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

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

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

2.13. Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion

shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the 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), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14, or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof other than in accordance with Section 11.06(h) (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower may extend the final maturity of Loans and/or Commitments in connection with an Extension that is permitted under Section 2.18 without being obligated to effect such extensions on a pro rata basis among the Lenders (it being understood that no such extension (i) shall constitute a payment or prepayment of any Loans, for purposes of this Section 2.13 or (ii) shall reduce the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due under Section 2.07, except that the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due to a Lender of Extended Term Loans may be reduced to the extent provided pursuant to the express terms of the respective Extension Amendment) without giving rise to any violation of this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement. Furthermore, the Borrower may take all actions contemplated by Section 2.18 in connection with any Extension (including modifying pricing, amortization and repayments or prepayments), and in each case such actions shall be permitted, and the differing payments contemplated therein shall be permitted without giving rise to any violation of this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement.

2.14. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Applicable L/C Issuer if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any undrawn Letter of Credit remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case (but subject to Section 2.03(l)), immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly, and in any event within three Business Days, after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts chosen by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, shall grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and shall 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 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any prior or pari passu 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 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.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.15 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, 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.

(d) Release. 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 Revolving Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vii))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.15. Defaulting Lenders.

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

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

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Applicable L/C Issuer or the

Swing Line Lender, as applicable, to be held as Cash Collateral or security, as applicable, for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit issued by such Applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Loan, as applicable; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Borrowings and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). 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 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

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

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03 and Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Revolving Lender.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing

Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lenders and the L/C Issuers 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), that Revolving Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Revolving 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 Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon that Revolving Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that subject to Section 2.19 and except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is reasonably satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.16. [Reserved].

2.17. Refinancing Amendments.

(a) On one or more occasions after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Refinancing Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans and the Loans (or unused Commitments) under the Revolving Facility then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section 2.17(a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Refinancing Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Loans), in the form of Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Term Commitments, Refinancing Revolving Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Refinancing Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility (and related outstandings), the Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series (and related outstandings) or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series (and related outstandings), in each case having an earlier Maturity Date and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments under the Revolving Facility, the Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series, in each case having an earlier Maturity Date (subject to clause (3) below)) of Loans with respect to Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series after the date of obtaining such Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Commitments and all other Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments then

existing, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series with a longer Maturity Date, all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Commitments under the applicable Classes (and except as provided in Section 2.03(l), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Loans under, and termination of, Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series after the date of obtaining such Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Commitments and all other Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments then existing, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other such Class with a later Maturity Date and (4) assignments and participations of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and each other Class of Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings). No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, unless it so agrees.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a Change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(c) Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under Section 2.17(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (subject to clause (ii) of the proviso to the definition thereof).

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any Lenders (other than those described in clause (c) of the definition of “Refinancing Amendment”), to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17 (including, without limitation, such amendments as may be considered necessary or appropriate to integrate any new Class of Refinancing Revolving Commitments), and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.

(e) This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 11.01 to the contrary.

2.18. Extension of Term Loans; Extension of Revolving Loans.

(a) Extension of Term Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.18. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) (except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, optional prepayments and redemptions, mandatory repayments, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments, which shall be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Request), be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Term Loan Extension Request (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans)) (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), including: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Term Loans hereunder (including Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than five different Maturity Dates; (ii) the Effective Yield, pricing, optional prepayment and redemptions and mandatory repayments with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield, pricing, optional prepayments and redemptions and mandatory repayments for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally or mandatorily prepaid prior to the date on which all such Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional or mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional or mandatory prepayment of such other Classes of Term Loans; provided, further, that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Term Loan Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter (other than by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Indebtedness prior to the time of incurrence of such Extended Term Loans) than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (E) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder with respect to any other Class of Term Loans, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche

may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased). Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.18 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)).

(b) Extension of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Facility (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of the Commitments under the Revolving Facility (any such Commitments under the Revolving Facility which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.18. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) except as to interest rates, fees, optional redemption or prepayment terms, final maturity, and after the final maturity date, any other covenants and provisions (which shall be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Revolving Lenders and set forth in the relevant Revolver Extension Request), the Extended Revolving Commitment extended pursuant to a Revolver Extension Request, and the related outstandings, shall be a “Revolving Facility” (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with such other terms substantially identical to, or taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Extending Revolving Lenders, as those applicable to the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Revolver Extension Request (and related outstandings) (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), including: (i) the Effective Yield, pricing, optional prepayment or redemption terms, with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield, pricing, optional redemption or prepayment terms, for extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants (as determined by the Borrower and Extending Revolving Lenders) and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Commitments); and (iii) (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility (and related outstandings), the Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series (and related outstandings) or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series (and related outstandings), in each case having an earlier Maturity Date and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments under the Revolving Facility, the Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series, in each case having an earlier Maturity Date (subject to clause (3) below)) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series after the date of obtaining such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Commitments and all other Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments then existing, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series with a longer Maturity Date, all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments in accordance with their

100

percentage of the Commitments under the applicable Classes (and except as provided in Section 2.03(l), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Loans under, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series after the date of obtaining such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Commitments and all other Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments then existing, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other such Class with a later Maturity Date and (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and each other Class of Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and Refinancing Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided, further, that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche, (C) at no time shall there be Commitments under revolving credit facilities hereunder (including the Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments of each Extension Series and Refinancing Revolving Commitments of each Refinancing Series) which have more than five different Maturity Dates and (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments incurred under this Section 2.18 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Revolving Commitments being extended pursuant to this under Section 2.18(b)).

(c) Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent), and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.18. Subject to Section 11.13, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be,

101

shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.

(d) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.18(a) or 2.18(b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with such Extension Amendment) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a Change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.07), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18 (including, without limitation, such amendments as may be considered necessary or appropriate to integrate any new Class of Extended Revolving Commitments), and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(e) No Prepayment. No conversion or extension of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.18 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment or repayment for purposes of this Agreement. This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 11.01 to the contrary.

2.19. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be

102

subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings been made, (ii) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions and withholdings required by applicable law and (iii) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties 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, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, within ten days after written 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 3.01(c)) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any

103

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 Borrower by a Lender or a L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) 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 Loan 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 set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan 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 paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes in the United States, (A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code and that makes a Credit Extension to the Borrower shall deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting

104

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

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income (i) Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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,

(ii) duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(iii) duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY with all required supporting documentation (including IRS Forms W-8ECI, IRS Forms W-8BEN, IRS Forms W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates, and IRS Forms W-9, as applicable),

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

(v) duly executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

In addition to the foregoing, if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the requesting party 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 paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

105

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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, each Lender or L/C Issuer which becomes a party to this Agreement and makes a Loan to or is an L/C Issuer in respect of any Loan Party after the date of this Agreement shall indicate in the documentation it executes on becoming a party hereto, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls in for the purposes of that Loan:

(i) not a Qualifying Lender;

(ii) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or

(iii) a Treaty Lender.

If a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement fails to indicate its status pursuant to the previous sentence, then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, any document pursuant to which a Lender becomes party to this Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 3.01(f).

A Treaty Lender and each Loan Party which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall cooperate in completing any applicable procedural formalities, and in particular deliver tax residence certificates issued by a competent tax authority, necessary for that Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a deduction and/or withholding for any Taxes. Any Lender and/or L/C Issuer which was a Qualifying Lender when it became a party to the Loan Document that subsequently ceases to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware that it has so ceased to be a Qualifying Lender.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer 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 by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than any penalties, interest or other charges attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C

106

Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 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 Loan Document.

3.02. Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03. Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (b) below) determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest

107

Period with respect to an existing or proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice (which revocation the Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly upon receipt of such instruction). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (which shall be calculated in accordance with clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable) in the amount specified therein to the extent available (or, in the case of a pending request for a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower and the Lenders may establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate).

3.04. Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any L/C Issuer (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate, other than as set forth below);

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Any demand for compensation made by any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) shall be made only to the extent such Lender or such L/C Issuer is making similar demand with respect to its similarly situated commercial borrowers where such Lender or such L/C Issuer has the legal right to make such demand.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or

108

such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Any demand for compensation made by any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) shall be made only to the extent such Lender or such L/C Issuer is making similar demand with respect to its similarly situated commercial borrowers where such Lender or such L/C Issuer has the legal right to make such demand.

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

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

(e) Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten days from receipt of such notice.

(f) Exception. Subsection (a) of this Section shall not apply to the extent any increased cost or reduction is attributable to the willful breach by the relevant Lender, L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent or its Affiliates of any law or regulation.

109

3.05. Compensation for Losses.

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

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

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

(c) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) in a different currency from such Loan or Letter of Credit drawing; or

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

including foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract (but excluding anticipated profits); provided that such loss or expense shall exclude any interest rate floor applicable to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

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

3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for

110

the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.07. Survival.

All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and/or the Term Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

3.08. VAT.

(a) All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any party to the Administrative Agent or a Lender or L/C Issuer which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Section 3.08(b), if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Administrative Agent or a Lender or L/C Issuer to any party under any Loan Document and the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer concerned must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer (the “Supplier”) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or L/C Issuer (the “Recipient”) under any Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this Section 3.08(b)(i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(ii) where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c) Where any Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify the Administrative Agent or a Lender or L/C Issuer for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this Section 3.08 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate

111

and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union, so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(e) In relation to any supply made by the Administrative Agent or a Lender or L/C Issuer to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer, that party must promptly provide the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

ARTICLE IV

GUARANTY

4.01. The Guaranty.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Secured Party, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state Law.

4.02. Obligations Unconditional.

(a) The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full of the Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification, obligations, Tax gross up, expense reimbursement or yield protection obligations, in each case, for which no claim is due and (ii) obligations and liabilities under Letters of Credit, Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap

112

Contracts as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable provider thereof shall have been made)), it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

(v) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

(c) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

4.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each holder of the Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law.

113

4.04. Certain Additional Waivers.

Each Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

4.05. Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the Obligations, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances so provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the holders of the Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.06. Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.

4.07. Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee given by the Guarantors in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

4.08. Limitation on Guaranty.

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the obligations and liabilities of any Foreign Guarantor under this Article IV shall be subject to the limitations (if any) set out in the Joinder Agreement applicable to such Foreign Guarantor.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, no Foreign Subsidiary, Foreign Holdco, Disregarded Domestic Person or direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary shall guarantee or be construed to guarantee (or grant or be construed to grant any security interest in any of its assets to secure) any Obligation under any Secured Swap Contract or Secured Treasury Management Agreement between any Domestic Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender.

4.09. Limitation on Guaranty by German Guarantors.

(a) To the extent that a Guaranty is granted by a German Guarantor and relates to obligations of a direct or indirect shareholder of that German Guarantor or Subsidiaries of such shareholders (to the extent they are not Subsidiaries of that German Guarantor), the Guaranty of the German Guarantor shall be subject to the limitations as set out below.

(b) Subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, a Secured Party shall not be entitled to enforce the Guaranty to the extent that such enforcement has the effect of:

114

(i) reducing the German Guarantor’s net assets (Nettovermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital); or

(ii) (if its Net Assets are already lower than its stated share capital) causing such amount to be further reduced,

unless such effect would not result in violation of sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung “GmbH Act”) (the “Limitation on Enforcement” or “Limitation Event”).

(c) The value of the Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the general applicable accounting principles pursuant to the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch “HGB”) consistently applied by the German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 of the GmbH Act, sections 242, 264 of the HGB in the previous years, save that:

(i) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the German Guarantor resolved after the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting on instructions of the Secured Parties), or unless otherwise expressly permitted under the Loan Documents, shall be deducted from the stated share capital registered at that time;

(ii) loans provided to the relevant German Guarantor by the Parent and/or its Subsidiaries shall be disregarded if such loans are subordinated pursuant to section 39 paragraph 1 no. 5 or section 39 paragraph 2 of the German Insolvency Code and including any guarantees for loans which are so subordinated, provided that any such amount is still outstanding at the time the demand under the Guaranty is made against such German Guarantor and the lending party, i.e., the Parent and its Subsidiaries could contribute its receivables under that loan to the German Guarantor;

(iii) loans and other liabilities incurred by the German Guarantor in willful or grossly negligent violation of the provisions of any Loan Document shall be disregarded;

(iv) any amounts that may not be distributed to a shareholder pursuant to section 268 VIII of the HGB shall be deducted from the Net Assets.

(d) The Limitation on Enforcement shall only apply if and to the extent that the managing director(s) (Geschäftsführer) of the relevant German Guarantor on behalf of the relevant German Guarantor have confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days following a demand under the Guaranty, to what extent the demanded payment would lead to the occurrence of a Limitation Event (the “Management Determination”). Such confirmation shall comprise an up to date balance sheet of the relevant German Guarantor and a reasonably detailed calculation taking into account the pro forma adjustment as set out under paragraph (c) above, inter alia showing its Net Assets. Demanding payment under the Guaranty from such German Guarantor up to the amount which, according to the Management Determination, would not result in a Limitation Event is permitted without limitation.

(e) If the Administrative Agent (acting on instructions of the Secured Parties) disagrees with the Management Determination, the German Guarantor shall instruct (at its own cost and expense) a firm of auditors of international standing and reputation reasonably acceptable, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Secured

115

Parties) to determine within 25 Business Days, from the date the Administrative Agent has contested the Management Determination the amount of the German Guarantor’s Net Assets, which the German Guarantor is able to pay (the “Auditor’s Determination”). The amounts determined in the Auditor’s Determination shall be (except for manifest error) binding on the Secured Parties and the German Guarantor. Demanding payment under the Guaranty from such German Guarantor up to the amount which, according to the Auditor’s Determination, would not result in a Limitation Event is permitted without limitation.

(f) If and to the extent that the Guaranty has been enforced without regard to the Limitation on Enforcement because the amount payable under the Guaranty resulting from the Auditor’s Determination is lower than the respective amount resulting from the Management Determination, the Secured Parties shall upon demand of the relevant German Guarantor to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) repay the difference between the amount paid and the amount payable resulting from the Auditor’s Determination calculated as of the date the demand under the Guaranty was made, provided that such demand for repayment is made to the Administrative Agent within six months from the date the Guaranty has been enforced. Upon the restoration of any payment under this paragraph (f) by any Secured Party, the liability of each Guarantor under this Article IV will continue or be reinstated in accordance with Section 4.03.

(g) If the enforcement of the Guaranty leads to the occurrence of a Limitation Event, then the German Guarantor shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent (acting on instructions of the Secured Parties) realize its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) which is significantly lower than their market value to the extent that such assets are not operationally necessary (operativ nicht betriebsnotwendig) for the relevant German Guarantor’s business and to the extent that such realization is necessary to satisfy the amount owed under the Guaranty (as limited by paragraph (b) above taking into account the realization pursuant to this paragraph (g)).

(h) The Limitation on Enforcement does not affect the right of the Secured Parties to claim again any outstanding amount at a later point in time (subject to the limitations set out in this Section 4.09) if the Administrative Agent, ascertains (acting reasonably) that the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor as set out in the Management Determination and/or the Auditor’s Determination has improved (in particular, if the relevant German Guarantor has taken any action in accordance with the provisions set out in paragraph (g)).

(i) The Limitation on Enforcement does not apply:

(i) to the extent the Guaranty of a German Guarantor secures any indebtedness under any Loan Document corresponding to funds (A) that have been on-lent to the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent that any such amount is still outstanding at the time the demand under the Guaranty is made against such German Guarantor and/or (B) Letters of Credit that are issued for the benefit of the creditors of the German Guarantor or any of the German Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or any other financial benefit granted to the German Guarantor, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their creditors;

(ii) if, at the time of enforcement of the Guaranty a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) and/or a profit transfer agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) (either directly or through an unbroken chain of domination and/or profit transfer agreements) is effective between the relevant German Guarantor and:

(A) in case that German Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the relevant Affiliate whose obligations are secured by the relevant Guaranty, that Affiliate; or

116

(B) in case the German Guarantor and the relevant Affiliate whose obligations are secured by the relevant Guaranty are both Subsidiaries of a joint (direct or indirect) holding, such holding as dominating entity (beherrschendes Unternehmen);

but only to the extent the loss compensation claim of the relevant German Guarantor against the dominating entity is covered (gedeckt) by means of a fully valuable and recoverable compensation claim (vollwertiger Verlustausgleichsanspruch) if and to the extent required according to sections 30, 31 of the GmbH Act and such compensation claim is not assigned or pledged to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party;

(iii) to the extent any payment of Guaranty demanded by a Secured Party from, and due to be made by, a German Guarantor is covered (gedeckt) by means of a fully recoverable claim for consideration of return (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs-oder Rückgewähranspruch) of the relevant German Guarantor against the Affiliate whose obligations are secured by the relevant Guaranty; or

(iv) if and to the extent, at the time of enforcement of the Guaranty, the Limitation on Enforcement is not required to protect the managing director(s) of a German Guarantor or, in case of a Guarantor organized as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) as set out below, its general partner (Komplementär) (including its managing director(s)) from the risk of any personal liability arising from such enforcement of the Guaranty.

(j) This Section 4.09 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, if the Guaranty is granted by a Guarantor incorporated in Germany as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) in relation to each general partner (Komplementär) incorporated as a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung).

(k) Preservation of Liquidity.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall upon demand of the relevant German Guarantor to the Administrative Agent repay proceeds of an enforcement of the Guaranty to the respective German Guarantor if and to the extent that such enforcement would otherwise cause the respective German Guarantor to become illiquid (zahlungsunfähig) (such situation hereinafter referred to as “Liquidity Impairment”) and would for that reason constitute an unlawful payment within the meaning of section 64 sentence 3 of the GmbH Act and/or section 130a para. 2 sentence 1 alternative 2 of the HGB (if applicable in connection with section 177a sentence 1 of HGB) and therefore result in a liability of the managing director(s) of the German Guarantor. The provisions under this Section 4.09(k) shall not apply if and to the extent (A) (including as a result of a change in the relevant rules or their application or construction by a Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht) or the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof)) the enforcement of the Guaranty does not constitute a breach of the relevant German Guarantor’s managing directors’ obligations pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 of the GmbH Act and/or section 130a para. 2 sentence 1 alternative 2 of the HGB (if applicable in connection with section 177a sentence 1 of HGB) and does not result in a risk of personal liability for the managing director(s) of the relevant German Guarantor and/or (B) that the exceptions set out in Section 4.09(i) above apply.

(ii) If the managing director(s) of the relevant German Guarantor on behalf of the relevant German Guarantor determine under the terms of the Management Determination that a Liquidity Impairment would occur as a result of the Administrative Agent not repaying

117

enforcement proceeds to the respective German Guarantor, the Administrative Agent may retain such proceeds from an enforcement of the Guaranty unless:

(A) the relevant German Guarantor delivers, for the purpose of determining if and to which extent not repaying the enforcement proceeds resulting from an enforcement of the Guaranty would result in a Liquidity Impairment, to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the Management Determination a reasonably detailed, complete and accurate report together with appropriate:

(1) evidence that and to what extent a Liquidity Impairment would occur;

(2) a liquidity status and a liquidity forecast for the next following twenty-four (24) months together with a payment schedule showing at what times and in which amounts not repaying enforcement proceeds to the relevant German Guarantor would trigger a Liquidity Impairment; and

(3) evidence that all acceptable (zumutbar) measures have been taken in order to (1) increase the relevant German Guarantor’s liquidity or (2) otherwise avoid liability of the relevant German Guarantor’s managing director(s);

(B) the relevant German Guarantor continues all acceptable (zumutbar) measures in order to (1) increase the relevant German Guarantor’s liquidity or (2) otherwise avoid liability of the relevant German Guarantor’s managing director(s);

(C) the relevant German Guarantor promptly delivers further complete and accurate liquidity schedules and/or payments schedules or any other information or assistance, in each case if reasonably so requested by the Administrative Agent;

(D) a Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht) or the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) has passed an enforceable judgement vis-à-vis one or several managing director(s) of the relevant German Guarantor under which such managing director(s) are held liable pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 of the GmbH Act and/or section 130a para. 2 sentence 1 alternative 2 of the HGB (if applicable in connection with section 177a sentence 1 of the HGB) as a consequence of the enforcement of the Guaranty.

(iii) The Administrative Agent may arrange (at cost and expense of the relevant German Guarantor) that a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation determines the plausibility of the liquidity status, liquidity forecast and payment schedule as referred to under sub-paragraph (ii)(A)(2) above.

(iv) If, in the cases referenced in sub-paragraph (i) above, a solution can be found which would enable the Administrative Agent to retain the proceeds from an enforcement of the Guaranty without exposing the managing director(s) of the relevant German Guarantor to a liability risk, the respective German Guarantor will cooperate in good faith with the Administrative Agent to implement such a solution to the extent legally possible.

(v) Payments of the Administrative Agent to the respective German Guarantor on the basis of this Section 4.09(k) are deemed for the purposes of the relationship between the relevant

118

German Guarantor and its managing director(s) as payments of such managing director(s) to settle the claims of the respective German Guarantor vis-à-vis its managing director(s) pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 of the GmbH Act and/or section 130a para. 1 sentence 1 alternative 2 of the HGB (if applicable in connection with section 177a sentence 1 of the HGB).

(vi) Any required repayment of enforcement proceeds by the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.09(k) shall be limited to the lower of (i) the amount which the Administrative Agent has received from the relevant German Guarantor from the enforcement of the Guaranty and (ii) the amount up to which the managing director(s) of the relevant German Guarantor are liable pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 of the GmbH Act and/or section 130a para. 2 sentence 1 alternative 2 of the HGB (if applicable in connection with section 177a sentence 1 of the HGB) as a consequence of an enforcement of the Guaranty.

(vii) The Administrative Agent is only obliged to make payments to the German Guarantor on the basis of this Section 4.09(k) concurrently (Zug-um-Zug) in return for a written declaration of assignment from the managing director(s) concerned in which the latter assigns to the Administrative Agent any reimbursement claims to which he could be entitled (e.g. after final and absolute annulment of the above-mentioned judgement) against the respective German Guarantor on the basis of the payments made by the Administrative Agent in accordance with sub-paragraph (vi) above to the account of the managing director(s) concerned to the respective German Guarantor.

(l) Nothing in this Section 4.09 shall limit the enforceability (subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.09) legality or validity of the Guaranty nor prevent a Secured Party from claiming in court that the provision of the Guaranty by and/or demanding payment under the Guaranty against a German Guarantor does not fall within the scope of any statutory limitations. Neither shall a Secured Party’s right to any remedies it may have against any Guarantor be limited if any statutory limitations are determined to be inapplicable. The agreement of a Secured Party to abstain from demanding (partial) payment under the Guaranty in accordance with the provisions above shall not constitute a waiver (Verzicht) of any security right granted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to a Secured Party or other secured party under a Loan Document or a definite defense (Einwendung) of any Guarantor against any of the secured obligations.

4.10. Limitation on Guaranty by Spanish Guarantors.

Each Spanish Guarantor acknowledges that the amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations under this Agreement shall constitute due and payable obligations of such Spanish Guarantor (deuda líquida y exigible).

Each Spanish Guarantor acknowledges that the guarantee provided by it under this Article IV must be construed as a first demand guarantee (garantía a primera demanda) and not as a guarantee (fianza) and, therefore, the benefits of preference (excusión), order (orden) and division (división) shall not be applicable.

The Parties agree that the obligations under this Article IV will not be affected by any action made under the Additional Section 4 (Disposición Adicional Cuarta) of the Insolvency Act.

For the purposes of article 135 of the Spanish Insolvency Act, the obligations of each Spanish Guarantor under this agreement vis-á-vis each Lender shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement at any time such that each Spanish Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to this Article IV shall not be affected in any way by the settlement agreement that may be agreed in the insolvency proceedings of an Loan

119

Party (nor shall they be deemed amended as a consequence of the approval of that settlement agreement) that each of the Lenders has approved or acceded to or irrespective of the fact that any such Lender has not approved or acceded to, that settlement agreement.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of Article IV, the obligations and liabilities of the Spanish Guarantors under this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been given only to the extent such guarantee does not violate Chapter VI of Title IV of Spanish Companies Act, governing, inter alia, unlawful financial assistance, and the liability of the Spanish Guarantors only applies to the extent permitted by such provisions of the Spanish Companies Act. Such limitations of the liabilities and obligations of the Spanish Guarantors may have the effect of reducing the amount of the obligations or liabilities assumed to zero.

The limitations set forth in this Article IV shall apply mutatis mutandi to any security created by any Spanish Guarantor under any Collateral Document and to any guarantee, indemnity, any similar obligation resulting in a payment obligation and payment, including but not limited to set-off, pursuant to the Loan Documents and made by Spanish Guarantors.

4.11. Limitation on Guaranty by UK Guarantors.

The Obligations to be guaranteed by any Foreign Guarantor incorporated in the United Kingdom does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of the United Kingdom.

4.12. Keepwell.

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party (or Foreign Loan Party, in the case of a Qualified ECP Guarantor that is a Foreign Loan Party) to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty in respect of Obligations consisting of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 4.12 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 4.12, or otherwise under such Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 4.12 shall remain in full force and effect until the circumstances described in Section 11.20(b) shall have occurred. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 4.12 constitute, and this Section 4.12 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party (or Foreign Loan Party, in the case of a Qualified ECP Guarantor that is a Foreign Loan Party) for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

(c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

165

(d) exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers all rights and remedies available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under the Loan Documents or applicable Law or at equity;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.01(f) or (g), the obligation of each Revolving Lender to make Loans and any obligation of each L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

9.03. Application of Funds.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02):

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, any amounts received by the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent that any Collateral Document requires proceeds of collateral under such Collateral Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the collateral agent, mortgagee, security trustee, pledgee or other Secured Party under such Collateral Document) on account of the Obligations (including upon any sale or other Disposition of any Collateral or any distribution under a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws with respect to any Loan Party), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment in full of Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuers and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings and fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Secured Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, ratably among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Secured Swap Contracts, Affiliates of Lenders) and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to (a) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, (b) payment of breakage, termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Secured Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, (c) payments of amounts due under any Secured Treasury Management Agreement between

166

any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender and (d) Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Treasury Management Agreements, Affiliates of Lenders) and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth held by them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.03, to the extent monies or proceeds to be applied pursuant to clause (a) above consist of proceeds received: (x) under any Foreign Collateral Document or are otherwise received from any Foreign Loan Party or (y) from the sale or other Disposition of Excess Foreign Entity Stock, then such proceeds will not be applied to the payment of any Obligation under any Secured Swap Contract or Secured Treasury Management Agreement between any Domestic Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth of clause (a) above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the Lender or Affiliate of a Lender party to such Secured Treasury Management Agreement or such Secured Swap Contract, as the case may be. Each holder of any such Obligations arising under Secured Swap Contracts or Secured Treasury Management Agreements that is not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if it were a “Lender” party hereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no circumstances shall proceeds of any Collateral constituting an asset of a Loan Party which is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor be applied towards the payment of any Obligations under Secured Swap Contracts.

All provisions contained in any Loan Document shall be interpreted consistently with this Section 9.03 to the extent possible, and where such other provisions conflict with the provisions of this Section 9.03, the provisions of this Section 9.03 shall govern.

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01. Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Barclays to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are

167

reasonably incidental thereto, expressly including appearing before Spanish notaries to grant or execute any Spanish Public Document or private document related to this mandate and, specifically, those deemed necessary or appropriate according to the mandate received (including, but not limited to, amendments or ratifications of the Loan Documents). Except as expressly provided in Section 10.05 and 10.06, the provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Each of the Lenders (excluding the Administrative Agent) hereby grant power of attorney to the Administrative Agent to be exercised for the purposes described in the foregoing. The Administrative Agent shall be released from the restrictions of Section 181 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) (and any equivalent restriction under any applicable other laws). At the request of the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders shall grant special powers of attorney to the Administrative Agent to enter into any Loan Documents, or any amendments thereof, on their behalf.

The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, potential Swap Contract providers and potential Treasury Management Agreement providers) and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall also act as security trustee in relation to the security created or evidenced by the English Security Documents and the Scots Security Documents. Each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder after the Closing Date hereby confirms that it shall be bound by the terms of this paragraph on and from the date on which it becomes a Lender as if it were an original Lender party thereto. In addition, each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article X (including in connection with any indemnification or exculpation provided herein for the benefit of the Administrative Agent) shall be deemed to apply to the Administrative Agent acting in its capacity as security trustee under the English Security Documents and the Scots Security Documents.

10.02. 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, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party 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.

In the event that a Loan Party cannot authorize or empower, or has not authorized or empowered the Administrative Agent at its request, then both the Administrative Agent and the other Loan Parties

168

shall appear and execute any document or instrument, including any Spanish Public Document, in order to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Agent pursuant to this agreement.

10.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

(b) 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party 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.

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 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

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 Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.04. 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, signature, representation, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other

169

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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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.

10.05. 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 Loan 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 X 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.

10.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan

170

Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Barclays as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer, so long as, effective upon such resignation, at least one L/C Issuer remains in such capacity and/or a successor L/C Issuer is appointed in accordance with the immediately following sentence and the aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimits of all remaining L/C Issuers is not less than the Letter of Credit Sublimit as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) such retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such retiring L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Any resignation by Barclays as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as the Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (a) the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring or removed Administrative Agent in its capacity as the Swing Line Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation, and (c) the Borrower shall issue, if so requested by the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Loan Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.

10.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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 (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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 Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08. No Other Duties; Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers or syndication agents in respect of the Facilities (including the Arrangers and the Syndication Agent) shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder; it being understood and agreed that such bookrunners, arrangers or syndication agents shall be entitled to all

171

indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 11.04.

10.09. 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 Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

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

10.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required 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 Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10.

10.11. Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Treasury Management Agreements.

No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender that is party to any Secured Swap Contract or any Secured Treasury Management Agreement permitted hereunder that obtains the benefits of Section 9.03 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Treasury Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that is party to such Secured Swap Contract or such Secured Treasury Management Agreement, as the case may be.

10.12. Delivery of Information.

The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

10.13. Actions by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the

173

Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.14. Authorization of the Administrative Agent under German Law.

For the purposes of any German Security, in addition to the provisions set out in this Article X, the specific provisions set out in paragraph (a) through (g) below of this Section 10.14 shall be applicable. With respect to German Security, in the case of any inconsistency, the provisions set forth in this Section 10.14 shall prevail.

(a) Subject to German law, with respect to any German Security constituted by non—accessory (nicht akzessorische) security interests, the Administrative Agent shall hold, administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release such German Security in its own name, but for the account of the Lenders.

(b) In the case of German Security constituted by accessory (akzessorische) security interests created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments, the Administrative Agent shall hold (with regard to its own rights under Section 11.24), administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release such German Security in the name of and for and on behalf of the Lenders and in its own name on the basis of the Parallel Debt pursuant to Section 11.24.

(c) With regard to any Collateral Document creating any accessory (akzessorische) German Security and for the purposes of entering into any such Collateral Document, performing the rights and obligations thereunder, amending, enforcing and/or releasing such Collateral Document, each Lender hereby instructs and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent (Stellvertreter), and releases the Administrative Agent from the restrictions imposed by Section 181 German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case (i) with the right of sub-delegation and the right to release the sub-delegates from the restrictions of such Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law and (ii) limited to the extent legally possible to such Lender. A Lender which is barred by its constitutional documents or bylaws from granting such exemption shall notify the Administrative Agent accordingly.

(d) At the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent with a separate written power of attorney (Spezialvollmacht) for the purposes of executing any relevant agreements and documents on their behalf. Each Lender hereby ratifies and approves all acts previously done by the Administrative Agent on such Lender’s behalf.

(e) The Administrative Agent accepts its appointment as agent and administrator of the German Security on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement and the Lenders (other than the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent and all other parties to this Agreement agree that, in relation to the German Security, no Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) shall exercise any independent power to enforce any German Security or take any other action in relation to the enforcement of the German Security, or make or receive any declarations in relation thereto.

(f) Each Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) hereby instructs the Administrative Agent (with the right of sub-delegation and the right to release the sub-delegates from the restrictions of such Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law) to enter into any documents evidencing German Security and to make and accept all declarations and take all actions it considers necessary or useful in connection with any German Security on behalf of such Lender (other than the Administrative Agent).

174

The Administrative Agent shall further be entitled to rescind, release, amend and/or execute new and different documents securing the German Security.

(g) If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent has already made any statements or declarations or taken any other actions (including, but not limited to, the granting of sub-powers of attorney (including any indemnifications, waivers and consents on behalf of each Lender as reasonably agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) and the release of any sub-representatives from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law) which fall within the scope of this Section 10.14, such statements, declarations and actions are hereby ratified and approved (genehmigt).

This Section 11.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by a third party, (x) the Borrower will have the right to control the defense thereof (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Borrower will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification with respect thereto), (y) each Indemnitee will be entitled to retain his or her own counsel (consistent with and subject to the provisions above), whether or not the Borrower elects to control such defense and (z) no Indemnitee shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her or its prior express written consent.

181

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought, and calculated, solely for this purpose, on an aggregate basis across all Facilities then in effect) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

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

11.05. Payments Set Aside.

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

182

under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Schedule 1.01(c) of the Disclosure Letter and Section 8.04(c), the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder 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 subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts. Except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund:

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

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

183

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

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 9.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (or, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Lender); provided that the 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 written notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.02;

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

(C) the consent of each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (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 or Swing Line Loan (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (to be paid by the assignor or the assignee); provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (ii) only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment by a Lender that is effected pursuant to multiple assignments by its affiliates and related funds or persons under common management with such Lender). The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates (including the Borrower) or Subsidiaries (other than pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.06(h) below), (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), (C) a natural person or (D) a Disqualified Institution.

(vi) No Assignment Resulting in Additional Indemnified Taxes. No such assignment under the Revolving Facility shall be made to any Person that, through its Lending Offices, is not

184

capable of lending the applicable Alternative Currencies to the Borrower without the imposition of any additional Indemnified Taxes.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the 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 in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Facility. 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.

Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

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

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a Disqualified Institution, a natural person or the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be

185

responsible for indemnity under Section 3.01(d) with respect to any payment made by such Lender to its Participants. 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 clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(f) as though it were a Lender and such Participant delivers the forms required by Section 3.01(f) to such Participant’s participating Lender.

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

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time an L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such L/C Issuer may, so long as at least one other L/C Issuer shall then exist, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that any such resignation as L/C Issuer shall not be effective if there are no L/C Issuers (including any successor L/C Issuer appointed in accordance with this sentence) under this Agreement. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of

186

Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring L/C Issuer and (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such retiring L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans of any Class hereunder to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, but only if:

(i) such assignment is made pursuant to (x) a Dutch Auction open to all Term Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis or (y) an open-market purchase;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;

(iii) any such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(iv) the Parent and its Subsidiaries do not use the proceeds of the Revolving Facility (whether or not the Revolving Facility has been increased pursuant to Section 2.01 or otherwise modified pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18) to acquire such Term Loans.

(i) The Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

(j) Spanish law particularities:

(ii) At the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, each of the new Lenders and the Lender (each at its own cost) shall promptly raise the transfer certificate and/or assignment agreement to the Status of a Spanish Public Document.

(iii) The parties agree that a transfer or assignment under this Section 11.06 shall constitute a transfer of any Spanish Security Document to the new Lender in the manner set out in Article 1203 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Code, and with the effects set out in Article 1528 of the Spanish Civil Code.

(iv) Each Spanish Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right it may have in the future under article 1535 of the Spanish Civil Code to any extent it may be applicable.

(v) Each Spanish Guarantor accepts all transfers and assignments made by the Lenders under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without prejudice to the formalization in a Spanish notarial deed (escritura pública o póliza) of the transfer of any

187

participation under any security which transfer need to be registered in any Spanish property registry or Spanish movable property registry.

11.07. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors, numbering, administration and settlement service providers and other representatives who have a need to know such Information in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (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); provided that unless the Borrower otherwise consents, no such disclosure shall be made by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Affiliate to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender that is a Disqualified Institution, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to become a Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(d), 2.17, 2.18 (in each case, other than a Disqualified Institution) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Loan Party and its obligations (other than any Disqualified Institution), (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (which source is not known by the recipient to be in breach of confidentiality obligations with the Parent or any Subsidiary) or (i) for purposes of establishing a due diligence defense.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses (including any information learned by the Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of its rights under Section 7.10), other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary (other than any such information received from a source that is known by the recipient to be in breach of confidentiality obligations with such Loan Party or any Subsidiary). Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any disclosure of any Information be made to a Person that is a Disqualified Institution at the time of disclosure.

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

188

11.08. Set-off; Several Obligations.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document then due to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, the parties agree that (a) no Foreign Subsidiary, Foreign Holdco, Disregarded Domestic Person or direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary shall be liable for any Obligations under any Secured Swap Contract or Secured Treasury Management Agreement between any Domestic Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender and (b) neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Lender, nor any Affiliate thereof may set-off or apply any deposits of, or any other obligations at the time owing to or for the credit of the account of, any Foreign Subsidiary, including the Borrower, against any or all of the obligations of any Domestic Loan Party.

11.09. Interest Rate Limitation.

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

189

11.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnification, tax gross-up, expense reimbursement or yield protection obligations, in each case, for which no claim has been made).

11.12. Severability.

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

11.13. Replacement of Lenders.

If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 and such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office, (iii) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Loans as Eurocurrency Rate Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent required the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender (each such Lender described in this

190

clause (iv), a “Non-Consenting Lender”) or (v) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) unless waived by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances of such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to such Class of Loans and/or Commitments (including any amounts under Section 3.05 and 2.09(b)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

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

(d) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a suspension of a Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Loans as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the assignee of such assignment shall not be prohibited from making or maintaining Loans as Eurocurrency Rate Loans;

(e) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(f) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination;

provided that the failure by such Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all

195

interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(b) In addition, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be automatically released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Guarantor ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary (including where a Subsidiary ceases to exist as a result of any merger, consolidated or amalgamation) or becoming an Excluded Subsidiary.

(c) The Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.20, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(d) On the Termination Date, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, L/C Issuer, or Lender or affiliate of a Lender party to a Secured Swap Contract or a Secured Treasury Management Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Swap Contract or any Secured Treasury Management Agreement and (ii) any contingent indemnification obligations, Tax gross up, expense reimbursement or yield protection obligations, in each case, not yet due. Any such release of obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (and its respective representatives) in connection with taking such actions to release security interest in all Collateral and all obligations under the Loan Documents as by this Section 11.20(d).

(e) Obligations of any Loan Party under any Secured Treasury Management Agreement or Secured Swap Contract shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Loan Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Swap Contract or Secured Treasury Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under any Secured Swap Contract or any Secured Treasury Management Agreement.

196

11.21. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity.

Each Loan Party that is incorporated outside the United States, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Loan Party or its respective Subsidiaries or any of its or its respective Subsidiaries’ properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Loan Document or any other liability or obligation of such Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 11.21 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

11.22. Intercreditor Agreements.

THE EXPRESS TERMS OF ANY SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL PROVIDE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, ON THE ONE HAND, AND ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

The Borrower hereby appoints the Parent to act as its agent hereunder and releases the Parent from any restrictions imposed to it by any applicable law (with right of sub-delegation and the right to release the sub-delegates from the restrictions imposed to it by restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any applicable law).

The Parent hereby accepts such appointment. The Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Parent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by the Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by the Borrower.

(b) Each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Loan Party under paragraph (a) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of that Loan Party to any Secured Party under any Loan Document, Secured Swap Contract and Secured Treasury Management Agreement as they may exist from time to time (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Loan Party is liable under paragraph (a) above (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that: (x) the Administrative Agent shall not demand payment in respect of the Parallel Debt of any Loan Party to the extent that such Loan Party’s Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged and (y) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall demand payment in respect of the Corresponding Debt of any Loan Party to the extent that such Loan Party’s Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged.

(c) The Administrative Agent acts in its own name and not as trustee and it shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each Loan Party under this Section 11.24, irrespective of any discharge of such Loan Party’s obligation to pay those amounts to the other Secured Parties resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting that Loan Party, to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.

(d) The rights of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) to receive payment of amounts payable by each Loan Party under the Loan Documents, Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Treasury Management Agreements are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive payment under this Section 11.24.

(e) Without limiting or affecting the rights of the Administrative Agent against Loan Parties (whether under this Section 11.24 or under any other provision of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Secured Swap Contracts and the Secured Treasury Management Agreements), each Loan Party acknowledges that: (x) nothing in this Section 11.24 shall impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent to advance any sum to any Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document, Secured Swap Contract and Secured Treasury Management Agreement, except in its capacity as lender thereunder and (y) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, Secured Swap Contract and Secured Treasury Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a lender.

(f) All amounts received or recovered by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Section 11.24 to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Executive Proceedings.

(ii) The Administrative Agent and/or the Loan Parties may start, where applicable, executive proceedings (procedimiento ejecutivo) in Spain, in connection with or relating to this Agreement, by providing to the relevant court the documents specified in article 573 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Act, namely (A) an original copy of this Agreement (copia autorizada or testimonio con carácter ejecutivo); (B) A notarial document (acta notarial) incorporating the certificate of the Agent and/or the Loan Parties referred to in sub paragraph (ii)) for the purposes of article 572 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Act; and (C) evidence that the relevant Guarantor has been notified of the details of the claim resulting from the certificate at least ten days before the start of the executive proceedings.

Exhibit 1.10

1. GUARANTY AND SECURITY PRINCIPLES

(a) The guarantees and security to be provided by Foreign Obligors (as defined below) will be given in accordance with the agreed principles set out in this Exhibit 1.10. This Exhibit 1.10 addresses the manner in which the agreed guaranty and security principles (the “Guaranty and Security Principles”) will impact the guarantees and Liens proposed to be taken from Foreign Subsidiaries in relation to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

(b) The Guaranty and Security Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining guarantees and Liens from the Foreign Guarantors or providers of collateral or security (jointly “Foreign Obligors”) in every jurisdiction in which Foreign Obligors are located. In particular:

(i) general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalization” rules, earnings stripping, retention of title claims and similar principles may limit the ability of the Foreign Obligors to provide a guarantee or Liens or may require that the guarantee or Liens be limited by an amount or otherwise; the Borrower will use reasonable endeavors to assist in demonstrating that adequate corporate benefit accrues to the relevant Foreign Obligor;

(ii) the Liens to be taken from Foreign Obligors and extent of their perfection will be agreed taking into account the cost to the Borrower and the Foreign Obligors of providing Liens so as to ensure that it is proportionate to the benefit accruing to the holders of the Obligations and the Administrative Agent (jointly the “Guaranteed Parties”);

(iii) any assets subject to third party arrangements which are not prohibited by the Agreement (and not entered into in contemplation of the Agreement or the Transactions) and which prevent those assets from being Collateral or security (such prevention to include a breach of the contractual obligations under such third party arrangements) will be excluded from any relevant Collateral Document so long as such third party arrangement remains in effect;

(iv) Foreign Obligors will not be required to give guarantees or enter into Collateral Documents if it would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or contravene any legal or regulatory prohibition (including, without limitation, any prohibition contained in case law of the applicable jurisdiction) or result in a risk of personal or criminal liability on the part of any officer; provided that the relevant Foreign Obligor shall use reasonable endeavors to overcome any such obstacle;

(v) no direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent that is subject to regulatory capital or similar requirements shall be required to give guarantees to the extent that the provision of such guarantee would result in an increase to such regulatory capital or similar requirements or other administrative burden, in each case which is disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the Guaranteed Parties (it being acknowledged and agreed that, as of and after the Closing Date, the burden of obtaining security for the Obligations from any Subsidiary organized in The

People’s Republic of China, South Korea or Japan, and, as of and after the Closing Date, the burden of pledging the Equity Interests issued by any Subsidiary of Parent that has assets of less than 0.50% of the consolidated total assets of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a combined pro forma basis disproportionately exceeds the benefit obtained by the holders of the Obligations);

(vi) perfection of Liens to be granted by Foreign Obligors, when required, and other legal formalities, will be completed as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within the time periods specified in the Agreement or Collateral Documents therefor or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Agreement or Collateral Documents) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection. The perfection of such Liens will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Foreign Obligor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course or as otherwise permitted by the Agreement (including, without limitation, notification of receivables security to third party debtors until an Event of Default has occurred that is continuing). The registration of Liens over IP Rights will only be in respect of material registered IP Rights in jurisdictions to be agreed;

(vii) unless granted under a global Collateral Document governed by the law of the jurisdiction of a Foreign Obligor, all security (other than share security over Subsidiaries of a Foreign Obligor which are Material Subsidiaries) shall be governed by the law of, and secure assets located in, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of that Foreign Obligor, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Obligor shall be required to take any actions to create, perfect or maintain any security interest under any laws other than the laws of such Foreign Obligor’s jurisdiction of organization or formation, or take any such action in any jurisdiction other than such Foreign Obligor’s jurisdiction of organization or formation, except that, where a Foreign Obligor pledges outstanding shares or other Equity Interests of a Material Subsidiary, the relevant Collateral Document will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the company whose shares or other Equity Interests are being pledged and not by the law of the country of the xxxxxxx;

(viii) no perfection action will be required by a Foreign Obligor in jurisdictions where such Foreign Obligor is not incorporated or organized, except that perfection action may be required with respect to the pledges of outstanding shares or other Equity Interests issued by Material Subsidiaries in the jurisdiction of incorporation of one Foreign Obligor in relation to Liens granted by another Foreign Obligor incorporated in a different jurisdiction;

(ix) other than a general security agreement and related filing, no perfection action will be required with respect to assets of a type not owned by the Foreign Obligors; and

(x) the Foreign Obligors shall be responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with the performance of their obligations under the Collateral Documents (including all legal expenses, disbursements, registration costs and all taxes, duties and fees (notarial or otherwise) in respect of guarantees and security).

(c) The Administrative Agent or the Guaranteed Parties, as the case may be, shall (without recourse, representation or warranty) promptly discharge any guarantees and release any Liens which is or are subject to any legal or regulatory prohibition as is referred to in paragraph (b)(iv) above.

2. GUARANTORS AND LIENS

(a) Each guarantee provided by a Foreign Obligor will be a guarantee for the relevant liabilities of the Loan Parties expressed to be subject to the Guaranty in accordance with the Agreement and subject to the requirements of the Guaranty and Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction. Collateral Documents will secure the Obligations of the relevant provider of Liens (it being understood that the amount of such Guaranteed Obligations will be subject to the limitations set forth in Article IV of the Credit Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Secured Obligations of any Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary, Foreign Holdco, Disregarded Domestic Person or direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary include any Obligation under any Secured Swap Contract or Secured Treasury Management Agreement between any Domestic Loan Party and any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender.

(b) Where a Foreign Obligor pledges shares or other Equity Interests of a Material Subsidiary, the relevant Collateral Document will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the company whose shares or other Equity Interests are being pledged and not by the law of the country of the pledgor.

(c) To the extent legally effective, all Liens shall be given in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties) and not the Guaranteed Parties individually. “Parallel debt” provisions will be used where necessary; such provisions will be contained in the Agreement and not in the individual Collateral Documents unless required under local laws. To the fullest extent possible under the relevant governing law, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the guarantees or security when any Guaranteed Party assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations under the Agreement or the Loan Documents.

(d) The Foreign Obligors will be required to pay the cost of any re-execution, notarization, re-registration, amendment or other perfection requirement for any Liens to be granted by such Foreign Obligors on any assignment or transfer on or prior to the close of syndication of the Loans.

3. TERMS OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS

The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any Lien granted by any Foreign Obligor as part of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement:

(a) the Lien will be first ranking (subject to Permitted Liens), to the extent possible;

(b) Lien will not be enforceable until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(c) the Administrative Agent will only be able to exercise a power of attorney following the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default or if the relevant Foreign Obligor has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation (and any grace period applicable thereto has expired);

(d) the provisions of each Collateral Document will not be unduly burdensome on the Foreign Obligor or interfere unreasonably with the operation of its business, will be limited to those required by local law to create or maintain effective and perfected Liens and will not impose commercial obligations;

(e) in the Collateral Documents there will be no repetition or extension of clauses set out in the Agreement such as those relating to notices, cost and expenses, indemnities, tax gross-up, distribution of proceeds and (unless required by local law) release of Liens; representations and undertakings shall be included in the Collateral Documents only to the extent required by local law in order to create, perfect or maintain the Liens expressed to be created thereby or if such representations and undertakings are customary in accordance with local market practice;

(f) information, such as lists of assets (including receivables) and site maps in respect of the location of fixed assets subject to Liens, will be provided if, and only to the extent, required by local law to perfect or register the Liens and, when required, shall be provided annually (unless required more frequently under local law) or, whilst an Event of Default is continuing, on the Administrative Agent’s request; and

(g) the Collateral Documents will, where possible and practical, automatically create Liens over future assets of the same type as those already secured, and where local law requires supplemental pledges or additional Collateral Documents to be delivered in respect of future acquired assets in order for effective Liens to be created over that class of asset, such supplemental pledges or Collateral Documents shall be provided at intervals no more frequent than annually (unless required more frequently under local law).

If the Foreign Obligor has used its reasonable endeavors but has not been able to obtain acknowledgment, its obligation to obtain acknowledgment shall cease on the expiry of the above mentioned period. For the avoidance of doubt, such reasonable endeavors shall not require the Foreign Obligor to procure a waiver from the account bank in relation to prior Liens as set out below.

Any Liens over bank accounts shall be subject to any prior Liens in favor of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement.

No notice shall be required to be prepared or given to any third party from whom any IP Right is licensed until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

If required under local law to perfect Liens over material registered IP Rights, if required by the Collateral Agent, such Liens will be registered under the law of that Foreign Obligor, subject to the general principles set out in these Guaranty and Security Principles.

No other registrations, filings or notices shall be required with respect to the creation, perfection or maintenance of Liens over IP Rights.

If a Foreign Obligor grants Liens over any of its trade receivables, it shall be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

No notice of Liens may be required to be prepared or served until the occurrence of an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

No Liens will be granted over any trade receivables which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant contract (including where such grant would require consent or a waiver, result in a default or event of default or would otherwise permit such agreement to be terminated).

If required under local law, Liens over trade receivables will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Guaranty and Security Principles.

Any list of trade receivables required shall not include details of the underlying contracts.

10. SHARES

If a Foreign Obligor would be required to grant Liens over any owned hereditary building right(s) (Erbbaurecht(e)), but for the fact that the granting of the Lien would contravene any legal requirement or third-party arrangement (including where the failure to obtain a required consent or waiver would result in a default or event of default under any applicable agreement or would otherwise permit the termination of such agreement), such Foreign Obligor shall use commercially reasonable endeavors for a period of 25 Business Days to obtain any such required consent or waiver, but will be under no further obligation to obtain such consent or waiver. If such consent or waiver is not obtained within such 25 Business Days or the granting of the Liens would otherwise contravene any legal prohibition, from and after the end of such 25 Business Day period such real property interest shall constitute Excluded Property.
