Each Revolving Credit Loan by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder until the Revolving Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the U.S. Borrower in Dollars from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including, the Revolving Maturity Date; provided, that after giving effect to any amount requested, (a) the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, (b) ~~the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment and (c)~~ the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment and (c) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans with respect to any Swingline Lender shall not exceed the applicable Swingline Lender’s Swingline Lender Sublimit.

(b) Refunding.

(i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded in Dollars by the Lenders on demand by the applicable Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders denominated in Dollars on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the applicable Swingline Lender upon demand by such Swingline Lender but in no event later than 3:30 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan.

(ii) The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the applicable Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the U.S. Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the U.S. Borrower with the applicable Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay such Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded.

Each Lender will immediately transfer to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof such Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after any Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, such Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

(c) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2, no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, with the U.S. Borrower or such Defaulting Lender and satisfactory to the Swingline Lender to eliminate such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 4.15(c) with respect to any such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Corresponding Payment. Each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings, after such reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced and if the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the U.S. Borrower shall be required to deposit cash collateral in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such amount in excess of the Revolving Credit Commitment. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 9.2(b). Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans (and furnishing of cash collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations) and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving Credit Facility. If the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof.

SECTION 2.6 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the U.S. Borrower on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not including the fifth (5^th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the applicable Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or the applicable Issuing Lender’s Sublimit (b) the Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in a Permitted Currency in a minimum amount to be agreed to by such Issuing Lender, (ii) be a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii) be in a form satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, (iv) expire on a date no more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewal for additional one (1) year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to such Issuing Lender), which date shall be no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date and (v) be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by such Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions Laws or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions Laws by any party to this Agreement.

(b) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3, no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, with the U.S. Borrower or such Defaulting Lender and satisfactory to such Issuing Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 4.15(c)) with respect to any such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The U.S. Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing

Lender, at the office of such Issuing Lender specified in or determined in accordance with Section 11.1, a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request (which information shall include the Permitted Currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated). Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Lender shall process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the U.S. Borrower. The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the U.S. Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and promptly notify each Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein.

SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges.

(a) Letter of Credit Commissions. Subject to Section 4.15(f), the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (determined on a per annum basis). Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Revolving Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this Section in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

(b) Fronting Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Lender, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it as set forth in the applicable Fee Letter or as separately agreed by such Issuing Lender, as applicable. Such fronting fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Revolving Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the U.S. Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with such Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the U.S. Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date (which amount shall be payable in Dollars in the applicable amount determined in accordance with Section 3.4(a)). If any such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of such Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to such Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

(d) All payments made by any L/C Participant under this Section shall be made in Dollars (based upon the Dollar Amount of the applicable payment); provided that the U.S. Borrower shall be liable for any currency exchange loss pursuant to the terms of Section 4.10(d).

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) Reimbursement Obligation of the U.S. Borrower. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, in Dollars, the applicable Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the U.S. Borrower of the date and the Dollar Amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the Dollar Amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency).

(b) Reimbursement Obligation of the Lenders. Unless the U.S. Borrower shall immediately notify the applicable Issuing Lender that the U.S. Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars bearing interest at the Base Rate on such date in the Dollar Amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), and the Lenders shall make such requested Revolving Credit Loan, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse each Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article V. If the U.S. Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse any Issuing Lender as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full.

SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The U.S. Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the U.S. Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The U.S. Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the U.S. Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the U.S. Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which

such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the U.S. Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The U.S. Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on the U.S. Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the U.S. Borrower. The responsibility of the applicable Issuing Lender to the U.S. Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.7 Effect of Letter of Credit Application. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

ARTICLE III-A

TERM LOAN FACILITY

SECTION 3.1-A The Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make a portion of the Term Loan to the U.S. Borrower in Dollars on the Term Loan Funding Date in a single drawing in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Term Loan made on the Term Loan Funding Date shall not exceed $300,000,000. Upon the making of a portion of the Term Loan by a Term Loan Lender, its Term Loan Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the principal amount of such Term Loan. In addition, any then existing Term Loan Commitment shall expire and terminate (i.e., be reduced to zero) upon the close of business on August 22, 2016. Each Term Loan Lender’s portion of the Term Loan shall be in a principal amount equal to its Term Loan Percentage of the aggregate Term Loan made on the Term Loan Funding Date. The U.S. Borrower may not reborrow any portion of the Term Loan which is repaid; it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any Borrower may request one or more additional Incremental Term Loans pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.14. For the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loan contemplated by this Section 3.1-A shall be deemed to be an Incremental Term Loan.

SECTION 3.2-A Procedure for Advance of the Term Loan. The U.S. Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. on the Term Loan Funding Date requesting that the Term Loan Lenders make the Term Loan on such date (provided that the U.S. Borrower may make such request, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Term Loan Funding Date if the U.S. Borrower requests that the Term Loan be a LIBOR Rate Loan), specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day,

(B) the amount of such borrowing (which shall not exceed the amount of the Term Loan Commitment, as then in effect), (C) whether the Term Loan is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan, and (D) if it is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period applicable thereto. A Notice of Borrowing received after the time set forth herein shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing from the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender thereof. Not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Term Loan Funding Date, each Term Loan Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the U.S. Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds, the amount of such Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender on the Term Loan Funding Date. The U.S. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Term Loan in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account of the U.S. Borrower designated in the most recent Notice of Account Designation delivered by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 3.3-A Repayment of the Term Loan.

The U.S. Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Notice of Prepayment (modified to reflect the fact that the Term Loan (rather than any other Loan) is being prepaid) given not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) on the same Business Day as prepayment of the portion of the Term Loan which is a Base Rate Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before prepayment of the portion of Term Loan which is a LIBOR Rate Loan specifying (A) the date and amount of prepayment and (B) whether the repayment is of Term Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans, Term Loans which are Base Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender thereof. If any such Notice of Prepayment is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of (i) $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate Loans or any lesser amount outstanding, (ii) $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans or any lesser amount outstanding. A Notice of Prepayment received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. Optional prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied to the remaining principal installments (including principal payments to be made on the maturity date thereof) of the Term Loan as the U.S. Borrower may direct the Administrative Agent in writing.

SECTION 3.5-A Permanent Reduction of the Term Loan Commitment. The U.S. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Term Loan Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Term Loan Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $10,000,000 or

any whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction of the Term Loan Commitment shall be applied to the Term Loan Commitment of each Lender according to its Term Loan Commitment Percentage. All Ticking Fees accrued with respect to any portion of the Term Loan Commitment terminated pursuant hereto shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

ARTICLE IV

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election of the U.S. Borrower:

(i) Revolving Credit Loans (other than Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans) and Term Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until the second Business Day after the Closing Date unless the U.S. Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of this Agreement (any such letter, a “Closing Date Indemnification Letter”));

(ii) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until four (4) Business Days after the Closing Date unless the U.S. Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a Closing Date Indemnification Letter); and

(iii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans or as the U.S. Borrower and the applicable Swingline Lender may agree.

The U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2. Any Revolving Credit Loan or any portion thereof as to which the U.S. Borrower has not duly specified a currency as provided herein shall be deemed a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars. Any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars, any Term Loan or any portion ~~thereof~~of either as to which the U.S. Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan and any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof as to which the U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, has not duly specified an Interest Period as provided herein shall be deemed a LIBOR Rate Loan for a one (1) month Interest Period.

(b) Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in Section ~~2.3~~ 2.3,

3.2-A or 4.2, as applicable, shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6) months; provided that:

(i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires;

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

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

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, without payment of any amounts pursuant to Section 4.9; and

(v) there shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect at any time.

(c) Default Rate. Subject to Section 9.2, (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), or 9.1(e), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default:

(A) the Borrowers shall no longer have the option to request Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit;

(B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans;

(C) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency;

(D) all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans; and

(E) all other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) applicable to such other Obligation (provided, that if no rate for such other Obligation is set forth herein or in such other Loan Document, then such Obligation shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans).

Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

(d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on December 31, 2015; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period; provided, that accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans based on the Prime 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 provided hereunder 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 365/366-day year).

(e) Maximum Rate.

(i) In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.1 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as such term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as such term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). The effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the applicable Loan, and in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries qualified for a period of ten (10) years and appointed by the Administrative Agent will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination. A certificate of an authorized signing officer of the Administrative Agent as to each amount and/or

each rate of interest payable hereunder from time to time shall be conclusive evidence of such amount and of such rate, absent manifest error.

(iii) In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Applicable Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a pro rata basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.

(f) Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such annual rate is to be ascertained, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

SECTION 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option to:

(a) convert at any time on or after the second Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars;

(b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (i) convert any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or the entire remaining amount thereof or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans;

(c) upon the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency.

Whenever a Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”)

not later than 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan denominated in Dollars and four (4) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be effective specifying:

(A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including the applicable Permitted Currency in which such Loan(s) is (are) denominated);

(B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day);

(D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

SECTION 4.3 Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. Subject to Section 4.15(f), the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin on the daily amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment terminates; provided that, if any Revolving Credit Loans of a Lender or any L/C Obligations remain outstanding after such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations from and including the date on which its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Loans have been paid in full and no such L/C Obligations are outstanding. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any Facility Fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.

(b) Ticking Fee. The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Term Loan Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), a non-refundable ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) at a rate of 0.20% per annum on the unused portion of the Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) during the period commencing on the First Amendment Effective Date and ending upon the earlier of (i) the Term Loan Funding Date or (ii) the expiry or termination of the Term Loan Commitments. The Ticking Fee shall be payable in arrears on the earlier of the expiration or termination of the Term Loan Commitments. The Ticking Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the

Term Loan Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Term Loan Lenders’ respective Term Loan Percentages.

(c) ~~(b)~~ Other Fees. The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

SECTION 4.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Loans Denominated in Dollars and Letters of Credit. Each payment by the U.S. Borrower or other Applicable Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan denominated in Dollars or any Letter of Credit or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement (or any of them) shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars (except as set forth below), in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 9.1(a), but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent (i) shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to such Lenders (except as specified below) and (ii) shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent on account of the principal of or interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the applicable Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the account of such Swingline Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing Lenders’ fees or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Lenders or the L/C Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.12 or 11.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii) and (iii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest payable along with such payment.

(b) Loans Denominated in an Alternative Currency. Each payment by the Applicable Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency payable to the Lenders under this Agreement (or any of them) shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in the same Alternative Currency in which the Loan was made (except as set forth below), in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or

deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 9.1(a), but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent (i) shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to such Lenders, (except as specified below) and (ii) shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii) and (iii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest payable along with such payment. 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, any Borrower is prohibited by any Applicable Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, subject to Section 4.10(d), such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of such payment.

SECTION 4.5 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit 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 and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit made by the Lenders to the Borrowers 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 Applicable Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing 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 U.S. Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, Term Loan Note and/or Swingline Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Participations. 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 and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent 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.

SECTION 4.6 Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.12 or 11.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, 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 such other 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 principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that

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

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each Credit 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 each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 4.7 Obligations of Lenders.

(a) 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 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 in the applicable Permitted Currency available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount in the applicable Permitted Currency. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in the applicable Permitted Currency, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at;

(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, (A) with respect to any Loan denominated in Dollars, the greater of (1) the daily average Federal Funds Rate and (2) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) with respect to any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the greater of (1) a rate equal to the Administrative Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount and (2) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; and

(ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Applicable Borrower, (A) with respect to any Loan denominated in Dollars, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans and (B) with respect to any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate equal to the Administrative Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount.

If the Applicable 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 Applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such 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 Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its ~~Revolving Credit~~ Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by any Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its ~~Revolving Credit~~ Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its ~~Revolving Credit~~ Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date.

SECTION 4.8 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability and Alternative Currency Availability. In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan, an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market (including, without limitation, the London interbank Eurodollar market) for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall

determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, (iii) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to any Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (iv) it has become otherwise materially impractical for the Lenders to make any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans or (v) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Applicable Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended, and:

(A) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, the U.S. Borrower shall either (1) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or (2) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period; and

(B) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Borrower shall either (1) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or (2) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars as of the last day of such Interest Period;

provided that if any of the Borrowers elects to make such conversion, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses, if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in effecting such conversion.

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability and Alternative Currency Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the U.S. Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S.

Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period; provided that if the U.S. Borrower elects to make such conversion, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in effecting such conversion.

SECTION 4.9 Indemnity. The U.S. Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including, without limitation, any foreign exchange costs) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by any Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, (b) due to any failure of any Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans or the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans or funded its Term Loan, as applicable, in the applicable interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the U.S. Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 4.10 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 advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank or other applicable market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit 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, converting into or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or 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 Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, the U.S. Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (including, to the extent such information is not deemed by such Lender to be confidential or proprietary to such Lender, reasonable details on the calculations performed by such Lender or its holding company in determining such amount or amounts) and delivered to the U.S. Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The U.S. Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The U.S. Borrower shall, upon demand from the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, pay to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, such Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, the amount of

(i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Person, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Person, (iii) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Person as a result of the introduction of, changeover to or operation of the Euro or (iv) any currency exchange loss that such Person sustains, in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), as a result of (1) any payment being made by any Borrower in a currency other than that originally extended to such Borrower or (2) the failure of any Borrower to repay a Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation denominated in a currency other than Dollars. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent, Lender, Issuing Lender or L/C Participant shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the U.S. Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the U.S. Borrower of the Change in Law or other events or conditions giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’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 one hundred eighty day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 4.11 Regulatory Limitation; Further Assurances. In the event, as a result of increases in the value of Alternative Currencies against the Dollar or for any other reason, the obligation of any of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans (or a Term Loan (in each case taking into account the Dollar Amount of the Obligations and all other indebtedness required to be aggregated under 12 U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder and any other Applicable Law) is determined by such Lender to exceed its then applicable legal lending limit under 12 U.S.C.A. §84, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Applicable Law, the amount of additional Extensions of Credit such Lender shall be obligated to make or issue or participate in hereunder shall immediately be reduced to the maximum amount which such Lender may legally advance (as determined by such Lender), the obligation of each of the remaining Lenders hereunder shall be proportionately reduced, based on their applicable ~~Revolving Credit~~ Commitment Percentages and, to the extent necessary under such laws and regulations (as determined by each of the Lenders, with respect to the applicability of such laws and regulations to itself), and the Borrowers shall reduce, or cause to be reduced, complying to the extent practicable with the remaining provisions hereof, the Obligations outstanding hereunder by an amount sufficient to comply with such maximum amounts.

SECTION 4.12 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;

provided that if any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Applicable Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the U.S. Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the U.S. Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) that are paid by (or required to be withheld or deducted on payments to) the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or such Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the U.S. Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.12, the U.S. 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.

(e) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Foreign 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 U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.12(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) 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:

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the U.S. Borrower is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code),

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. 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 tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly completed copies 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, 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 completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

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

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

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

For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of the Amendment, each Borrower and the

Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the U.S. Borrower or with respect to which the U.S. Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the U.S. Borrower an amount equal to such refund within thirty (30) days of such determination (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the U.S. Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, 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 the U.S. Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the U.S. Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the U.S. Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(h) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9(g) 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 (h). The agreements in paragraph (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 4.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender delivers notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.8(b), or requests compensation under Section 4.10, or requires the U.S. Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.12, then, upon the request of the U.S. Borrower, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would make it lawful or possible, as the case may be, to honor its obligations to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans hereunder or would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender becomes unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans under Section 4.8(b), requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if the U.S. Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.12, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder or becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any Lender is unable, on the date required by Section 11.21(a) or (b) to make any declaration or representation required therein, then the U.S. 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 11.9), 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:

(i) the U.S. Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.9;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the U.S. Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any such assignment with respect to a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 4.13(b), (A) such assignment shall be permitted hereunder only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such proposed assignment and (B) each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such assignor Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender.

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 U.S. Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 4.14 Incremental Loan Facilities.

(a) At any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, any Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to (i) request one or more term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) increase the incremental revolving credit commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, each an “Incremental Loan Facility” and collectively, the “Incremental Loan Facilities”) to make incremental revolving credit loans (any such incremental revolving credit loan, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Loans”); provided that (1) the total aggregate amount for all such Incremental Loan Facilities shall not (as of the date of incurrence thereof) exceed $600,000,000 and (2) the total aggregate amount for each Incremental Loan Facility shall not be less than $20,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (1). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that any Incremental Loan Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The applicable Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment) and each Swingline Lender (in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment), to provide an Incremental Loan Facility (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”). Any Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Loan Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Loan Facility. Any Incremental Loan Facility shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that:

(A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to any Incremental Loan Facility;

(B) each Incremental Revolving Credit Loan shall be a “Revolving Credit Loan” for all purposes hereof and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans and shall be guaranteed with the other Extensions of Credit on a pari passu basis;

(D) the Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans, as and to the extent applicable; provided that the interest rate margins and other economic terms, amortization schedule, prepayment terms, and currency applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the U.S. Borrower and the Incremental Lenders thereunder;

(E) each Incremental Term Loan shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Credit Loans;

(F) each Incremental Term Loan shall be effected pursuant to one or more agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which agreement or agreements may, without the consent of any other Lenders and as further provided in the final paragraph of Section 11.2, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.14);

(G) such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which agreement or agreements may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.14); and

(H) the applicable Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of the applicable Borrower authorizing such Incremental Loan Facility (for the avoidance of doubt, resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of the applicable Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii) which authorize such Incremental Loan Facility shall be sufficient so long as such resolutions are certified as of the applicable Increased Amount Date as remaining in full force and effect) reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(b) The outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increased Amount Date among the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Revolving Credit Loans) in accordance with their revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and the Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the U.S. Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 4.9 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment).

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Loan Facility becomes effective, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Loan Facility shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Loan Facility.

(d) This Section 4.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.2 or 11.9 to the contrary.

SECTION 4.15 Defaulting Lenders. 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:

(a) 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 11.2.

(b) 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, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.4), 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 the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lenders hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the U.S. 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 U.S. 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, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders 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 any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such 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 funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, that Defaulting Lender.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 4.15(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) 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 or Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and Section 3.4, the “Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (x) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists and (y) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.

(d) Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit. Promptly on demand by any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to such Issuing Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.15(c)) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender (and such cash collateral shall be in the same Permitted Currency as the Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, as collateral (solely for the benefit of such Issuing Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding L/C Obligations. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any drawing under any Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower or such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3.

(e) Prepayment of Swingline Loans. Promptly on demand by any Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the U.S. Borrower shall prepay Swingline Loans in an amount of all Fronting Exposure with respect to such Swingline Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.15(c)).

(f) Certain Fees. For any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any Facility Fee or Ticking Fee pursuant to Section 4.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 3.3(a) otherwise payable to the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral or other credit support arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lenders pursuant to Section 4.15(d), but instead, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the non-Defaulting Lenders the

amount of such Letter of Credit Fees in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.15(c), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to each Issuing Lender for its own account.

(g) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Lenders 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 Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 4.15(c)), whereupon that 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 Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE VI

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CREDIT PARTIES

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, and issue (or participate in) the Letters of Credit as provided herein, each of the Borrowers (to the extent that the representations, warranties and agreements set forth below in this Article VI expressly apply to such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) makes the following representations, warranties and agreements, in each case after giving effect to the Transaction, all of which shall

survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

SECTION 6.1 Company Status. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized and validly existing Company in good standing (or the local equivalent) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the Company power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualifications; except for failures of Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower that are not Credit Parties under clauses (i) and (ii) above, and failures of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries under clause (iii) above, which, either individually or in the aggregate for all such failures under preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that nothing in this Section 6.1 shall prevent the dissolution, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition of any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Borrower or other transactions by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries permitted pursuant to Section 8.2.

SECTION 6.2 Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary Company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Loan Documents. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and each of such Loan Documents constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

SECTION 6.3 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority binding on the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) will result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject (including, without limitation, the Existing Indebtedness Agreements) other than any agreement, contract or instrument terminated, discharged or replaced as of the Closing Date, or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents), as applicable, of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 6.4 Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except for those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date), or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Credit Party to authorize, or is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Credit Party in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Loan Document.

SECTION 6.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections.

(a) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the U.S. Borrower ended on such date and the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries at the end of the Quarter ended September 30, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Quarter then ended, in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the respective periods covered thereby. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements and subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which are of a recurring nature and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be material) and the absence of footnotes.

(b) On and as of the Closing Date, and after giving effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred or assumed or paid and discharged by the Credit Parties in connection therewith, (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) will exceed its or their respective debts, (ii) the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) has or have not incurred and does or do not intend to incur, and does or do not believe that it or they will incur, debts beyond its or their respective ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (iii) the U.S. Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its or their respective businesses. For purposes of this Section 6.5(b), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (a) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (b) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

(c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(a), and except for the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement, there were as of the Closing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, none of the Borrowers know of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.5(a) or referred to in the immediately preceding sentence which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the U.S. Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information known to the U.S. Borrower regarding the matters reported therein. On the Closing Date, the U.S. Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results.

(e) On and as of the Closing Date, and after giving effect to the Transaction, since December 31, 2014, nothing has occurred (singly or in aggregate with all other occurrences) that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect; provided that no Extension of Credit (other than the Extensions of Credit occurring on the Closing Date) shall constitute a representation and warranty that the matters set forth in this Section 6.5(e) are true and correct.

SECTION 6.6 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, grievances or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened (i) with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document or (ii) that have had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the Transaction.

SECTION 6.7 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 6.7, such factual information shall not include the Projections or any pro forma financial information.

SECTION 6.8 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

(a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used to refinance the existing Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries under the Existing Credit Agreement and for other working capital and general corporate purposes of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

(b) At the time of each Extension of Credit, the value of the Margin Stock at any time owned by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not exceed 25% of the value of the assets of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Extension of Credit will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

SECTION 6.9 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all material returns, statements, forms and reports for Taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the U.S. Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for Taxes of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all federal and state income Taxes and all other material Taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than those that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On the Closing Date, there is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any Taxes relating to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 6.9, neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of Taxes of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, nor will any of them incur, any material tax liability in connection with the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business).

SECTION 6.10 Compliance with ERISA; Non-U.S. Plans.

(a) The U.S. Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the

U.S. Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the U.S. Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 412 of the Code, other than, in any case, such liabilities or Liens as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred (i) withdrawal liabilities (or are subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any obligation in connection with the termination or withdrawal from any Non-U.S. Plan that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the U.S. Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the U.S. Borrower could not reasonably be expected to result in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) All Non-U.S. Plans have been registered, established, operated, administered and maintained in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders applicable thereto, except where failure so to comply could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums, contributions and any other amounts required by applicable Non-U.S. Plan documents or applicable laws to be paid or accrued by the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have been paid or accrued as required and all obligations of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries under each applicable Non-U.S. Plan Document have been performed by the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except where failure so to pay or accrue such amounts or to perform such obligations, as the case may be, could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) If at any time any Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower is created, established or acquired and such Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary is (or would have been if at such time it had been a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower), on the last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been or are required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable, a Material Subsidiary (with the “Immaterial Subsidiaries” tests being recalculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such creation, establishment or acquisition), the U.S. Borrower will, within 10 Business Days after such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary is created, established, acquired, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, will as promptly as practicable, and in any event within sixty days, cause such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary to take all actions required for such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary to become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and take all action in connection therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant to Section 5.1 if such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary had been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Closing Date; provided that if the U.S. Borrower determines in good faith, (before such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.12(a)), that such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary will not remain a Material Subsidiary for more than sixty days after the date of the creation, establishment or acquisition thereof, because of contemplated transfers of assets permitted under Section 8.2 by such Wholly-Owned Domestic

Subsidiary (with the “Immaterial Subsidiary” tests being recalculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such transfers of assets), then so long as the U.S. Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent thereof within the sixty day period referenced above, such Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor (unless the respective transfer of assets does not occur within such sixty day period or unless and until it is subsequently required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.12(b)); provided, further that if the preceding proviso is applicable, the U.S. Borrower shall determine in good faith whether any of the transfers of assets contemplated by the preceding proviso would result in one or more other Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower which are not Subsidiary Guarantors and which previously constituted Immaterial Subsidiaries no longer constituting same (with determinations to be made in good faith on a pro forma basis to give effect to the respective transfers of assets), and if the U.S. Borrower determines in good faith that the result described above in this proviso would occur, then in such case within the sixty-day period described above the U.S. Borrower shall cause such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (which will not continue to constitute Immaterial Subsidiaries) to become Subsidiary Guarantors and to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.12(a) as if the respective transferee were a newly created, established or acquired Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary.

(b) If, on the date of delivery by the U.S. Borrower of each of the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable, any of the Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor at such time would, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter or fiscal year for which such financial statements are required to be delivered, qualify as a Material Subsidiary, then the U.S. Borrower will, within 10 Business Days notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within sixty days after the date of delivery (or required date of delivery, if earlier) of the respective financial statements, cause each Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (other than such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries as will not constitute Material Subsidiaries after the taking of the actions required by this Section 7.12(b)) to take all actions required for such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary to become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and take all action in connection therewith as would otherwise have been required to be taken pursuant to Section 5.1 if such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary had been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Closing Date; provided that if the U.S. Borrower determines in good faith (before the respective Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.12(b)), that such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary will not remain a Material Subsidiary for more than sixty days after the date of delivery (or required date of delivery, if earlier) of the respective financial statements, because of contemplated transfers of assets permitted under Section 8.2 by such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary (with the “Immaterial Subsidiary” tests being recalculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such transfers of assets), then so long as the U.S. Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent thereof within the sixty day period referenced above, such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor (unless the respective transfer of assets does not occur within such sixty day period or unless and until it is subsequently required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.12(b)); provided, further that if the preceding proviso is applicable, the U.S. Borrower shall determine in good faith whether any of the transfers of assets contemplated by the preceding proviso would result in one or more

other Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower which are not Subsidiary Guarantors and which previously constituted Immaterial Subsidiaries no longer constituting same (with determinations to be made in good faith on a pro forma basis to give effect to the respective transfers of assets), and if the U.S. Borrower determines in good faith that the result described above in this proviso would occur, then in such case within the sixty-day period described above the U.S. Borrower shall cause such Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (which will not continue to constitute Immaterial Subsidiaries) to become Subsidiary Guarantors and to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.12(b) as if the respective transferee were a Material Subsidiary on the last day of the respective fiscal quarter or fiscal year for which financial statements are acquired to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable.

SECTION 7.13 Maintenance of Company Separateness. Each Borrower will, and the U.S. Borrower will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries and each SPV to, satisfy in all material respects customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular board of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting and the maintenance of Company records. In addition, neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of the U.S. Borrower or any other Credit Party being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

SECTION 7.14 Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Borrowers will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Loan or Letter of Credit or other funds used to repay any Obligation (i) constitute the property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Sanctioned Person; or (ii) are derived from any transactions or business with any Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country. The Borrowers shall take reasonable measures designed to ensure compliance with Sanctions Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No Credit Party shall become a Sanctioned Person.

SECTION 11.8 Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages.

(a) Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event such Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders.

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit 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 $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loan Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the U.S. Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned;

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

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

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

(iv) Assignment and Assumption.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party

121

hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12 and 11.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the Closing Date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each agreement executed pursuant to Section 4.14 delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), 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 U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the U.S. Borrower, any of the U.S. Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or those certain competitors of the U.S. Borrower set forth in that certain letter agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (which letter agreement shall be made available to the Lenders upon request therefor) (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 Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lenders, Swingline Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

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, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 11.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender.

122

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.10 and 4.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.12 unless the U.S. Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.12(e) as though it were a 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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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.

SECTION 11.10 Confidentiality.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.

SECTION 11.11 Performance of Duties. Each of the Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense.

SECTION 11.12 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the ~~Revolving Credit~~ Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

SECTION 11.13 Survival.

(a) All representations and warranties set forth in Article VI and all representations and warranties contained in any certificate, or any of the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder.

124

(b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XI and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before.

SECTION 11.14 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.15 Severability of Provisions.

SECTION 11.16 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) 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. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterparty hereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or limitations on Participations, 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. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

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

125

No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such termination.

SECTION 11.18 USA Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 11.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

126

SECTION 11.20 Independent Effect. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrowers shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, if the Borrowers shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X.

U.S. BORROWER’S GUARANTY

SECTION 12.1 The U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit under this Agreement and to induce the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the U.S. Borrower from the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the U.S. Borrower unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. This U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If any claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the U.S. Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the U.S. Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, and the U.S. Borrower shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. Each reference to “hereunder” or “hereof” in this Article XII shall refer exclusively to this Article XII.

128

SECTION 12.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, the U.S. Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 9.1(e) with respect to such Person, and unconditionally promises to pay, upon such occurrence, such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

SECTION 12.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by the U.S. Borrower, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other party (other than any direction from any Guaranteed Creditor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement), or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in respect of any such other guaranty or undertaking (except to the extent that the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are irrevocably reduced thereby), or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the U.S. Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 12.5, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other instrument relating thereto.

SECTION 12.4 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, and this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder are independent of the obligations of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the U.S. Borrower whether or not action is brought against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and whether or not the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions. The U.S. Borrower waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other

129

U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the U.S. Borrower.

SECTION 12.5 Authorization. The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability solely under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty made shall apply to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein by any Credit Party or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement

or Other Hedging Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements with any Credit Party or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party; and/or

(h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the U.S. Borrower from its liabilities under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty.

SECTION 12.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

SECTION 12.7 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to the U.S. Borrower is hereby subordinated to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S. Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by the U.S. Borrower for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the U.S. Borrower under the other provisions of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the U.S. Borrower of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the U.S. Borrower hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

SECTION 12.8 Waiver. ~~(a)~~(a) The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Party’s power whatsoever. The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, waives any defense to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations based on or arising out of any defense of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the

131

European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, other than payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder except to the extent the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. The U.S. Borrower waives any defense to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the U.S. Borrower against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b) The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the European Borrower’s, the Canadian Borrower’s and each other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise the U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Until such time as the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from the European Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty.

(d) The U.S. Borrower, solely in its capacity as guarantor under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to

132

be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

SECTION 12.9 Payments. All payments made by the U.S. Borrower in its capacity as Guarantor pursuant to this Article XII shall be made in the respective Permitted Currency in which the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable. All payments made by the U.S. Borrower in its capacity as Guarantor pursuant to this Article XII will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.4, 4.12, and 11.19.

SECTION 12.10 Effect of Restatement. This Agreement amends, restates and replaces in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. All rights, benefits, indebtedness, interest, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby amended, restated, replaced and superseded in their entirety according to the terms and provisions set forth herein; provided that all indemnification obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.
