SHC dated as of January 27, 2008, as amended and restated on June 2, 2008 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which Global BPO shall have acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of SHC (the “Acquisition”). Subsequent to consummation of the Acquisition, Global BPO shall have changed its name to Stream Global Services, Inc.

Notwithstanding the Acquisition, and the Change of Ownership provision contained in the Third Restated Loan Agreement, SGS has requested Agent and Lenders to continue the financing of Borrowers established under the Third Restated Loan Agreement, and to increase the aggregate credit facility to $107,809,697.60, to consist of (a) Term Loan US which, as of the date of this Agreement, shall be in the outstanding principal balance of $5,294,144.03 (of which $568,680.77 is attributable to Term Loan A and $4,725,463.26 is attributable to Term Loan C, as such terms are defined in the Third Restated Loan Agreement), (b) a Term Loan Foreign which, as of the date of this Agreement, shall be in the outstanding principal balance of $2,515,553.57 (of which $519,377.63 is attributable to Term Loan B and $1,996,175.94 is attributable to Term Loan D, as such terms are defined in the Third Restated Loan Agreement), and (c) an increased Maximum Revolving Credit Amount of $100,000,000 (of which not more than $50,000,000 may at any time be outstanding to Foreign Borrowers in the aggregate, nor more than $20,000,000 at any time outstanding to Stream Canada, nor more than $10,000,000 to Stream UK). Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lenders have so agreed to provide such increased credit facilities.

(ii) up to 85%, subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(d) hereof (“Unbilled Receivables Advance Rate”), of the value of the Eligible Unbilled US Receivables and Eligible Unbilled Foreign Receivables (except that with respect to Eligible Unbilled Foreign Receivables due Stream BV and Stream Service BV from Customers located outside of the European Union or the United States of America, the Unbilled Receivables Advance Rate shall be up to 50%) (the Receivables Advance Rate and the Unbilled Receivables Advance Rate shall be referred to collectively, as the “Advance Rates”), minus

(iii) the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, minus

(iv) any Eligible Reserves, minus

(v) the outstanding Swingline Advances.

The Revolving Advances shall be evidenced by secured promissory notes (which may be amended and restated promissory notes), issued by the US Borrowers with respect to their Revolving Advances and issued by the Foreign Borrowers with respect to their Revolving Advances (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1-US and 2.1-F.

(b) US Borrowing Group Sublimit. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(a), and in addition to the discretionary rights set forth in Section 2.1(d) with respect to further limitations on any particular Borrower or Borrowers, in no event may the Revolving Advances to US Borrowers exceed the lesser of (x) the sum of (A) the Maximum US Revolving Advance Amount minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding Swingline Advances plus (2) the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit plus (3) the aggregate outstanding Revolving Advances to Foreign Borrowers or (y) an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) up to the Receivables Advance Rate of Eligible US Receivables, plus

(ii) up to the Unbilled Receivables Advance Rate of the value of the Eligible Unbilled US Receivables, minus

(iii) the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, minus

(iv) any Eligible Reserves (established with respect to Revolving Advances made to US Borrowers), minus

(v) the outstanding Swingline Advances, minus

(c) Foreign Borrowing Group Sublimit. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(a), and in addition to the discretionary rights set forth in Section 2.1(d) with respect to further limitations on any particular Borrower or Borrowers, in no event may the Revolving Advances to Foreign Borrowers exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Foreign Revolving Advance Amount or (y) the Dollar Equivalent of an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) up to the Receivables Advance Rate of Eligible Foreign Receivables, plus

(ii) up to the Unbilled Receivables Advance Rate of the value of the Eligible Unbilled Foreign Receivables, minus

(iii) any Eligible Reserves (established with respect to Revolving Advances made to Foreign Borrowers).

The amount derived from (x) the sum of Sections 2.1(c)(y)(i) and (ii) minus (y) the sum of Section 2.1(b)(y)(iii) at any time and from time to time shall be referred to as the “Foreign Formula Amount”.

(d) Discretionary Rights. The Advance Rates may be increased (subject to the provisions of Section 17.2(b) of this Agreement) or decreased by Agent at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Each Borrower consents to any such increases or decreases and acknowledges that decreasing the Advance Rates or increasing the Eligible Reserves may limit or restrict Advances requested by Borrowing Agent. Agent shall give Borrowing Agent five (5) days prior written notice of its intention to decrease the Advance Rates. In addition to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Maximum Foreign Revolving Advance Amount”, which such limitations may be increased or decreased by Agent at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its reasonable discretion subject to the approval of Required Lenders, from time to time Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Borrowing Agent of its intention to do so, but only after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or if Agent reasonably believes that an event or condition has occurred which is likely to result in or have a Material Adverse Effect, impose any other maximum revolving advance amount for any particular Borrower or group of Borrowers and/or limit the maximum Dollar amount of Revolving Loans which may be extended to any individual Borrower or group of Borrowers.

(e) Minimum Dutch Borrowing. The minimum first borrowing from any Lender to Stream BV or Stream Service BV shall at all times be at least EUR 50,000, its Dollar Equivalent or its equivalent in other foreign currency.

2.2. Procedure for Borrowing Advances.

(a) Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 12:30 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day of a Borrower’s request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance hereunder, and specifying which Borrower, or Borrowing Group, is to incur such Revolving Advance. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance on behalf of the relevant Borrower or Borrowing Group as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, and such request shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing, Agent shall provide Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower with thirty (30) days notice of its intention to effectuate payments to third parties for fees and expenses incurred in the administration of the credit facility established under this Agreement, together with a copy of the related invoice, and Borrowing Agent may elect to pay such invoices directly to the applicable third party payee thereof and, if applicable, shall advise Agent of such election, and shall make such payments within such thirty (30) day period.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 10:00 a.m. New York time,

specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to be borrowed and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be for one, two, three or six months; provided, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a minimum amount of (x) $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 with respect to Revolving Advances and (y) $100,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 with respect to the Term Loan. No Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default.

(c) Each Interest Period of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b) (iii) above provided that the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(d), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(d) hereinbelow.

(d) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Borrower may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If a Borrower desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to convert from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to convert from a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a Domestic Rate Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. After giving effect to each such conversion, there shall not be outstanding more than five (5) Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the aggregate, with respect to Revolving Advances, or more than three (3) Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the aggregate, with respect to the Term Loan.

(e) At its option and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, any Borrower may prepay the Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, but with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which

are Eurodollar Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower and each other Loan Party shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof.

(f) Each Loan Party shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Eurodollar Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof except Sections 16.3 and 16.4, if any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (g), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent’s request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lenders for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lenders in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by Lenders in order to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.3. Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to the respective Borrowers’ Account on Agent’s books. In no event, however, shall Agent disburse Advances other than to an account located in the United States of America. During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrowers or deemed to have been requested by Borrowers under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall, with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other

immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

2.4. Term Loans. The outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A as of the date of this Agreement is $568,680.77, which sum remains due and owing by the US Borrowers. The outstanding principal balance of Term Loan B as of the date of this Agreement is $519,377.63, which sum remains due and owing by the Foreign Borrowers. The outstanding principal balance of Term Loan C as of the date of this Agreement is $4,725,463.26, which sum remains due and owing by the US Borrowers. The outstanding principal balance of Term Loan D as of the date of this Agreement is $1,996,175.94, which sum remains due and owing by the Foreign Borrowers. Term Loan A and Term Loan C shall be deemed consolidated into “Term Loan US” as of the Closing Date in the aggregate sum of $5,294,144.03 and each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall have funded its respective Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan US, whether directly to Borrowers or by obtaining an assignment of a portion of the outstanding Term Loan US (or Term Loan A and/or Term Loan C) from the other Lenders. Term Loan B and Term Loan D shall be deemed consolidated into “Term Loan Foreign” as of the Closing Date in the aggregate sum of $2,515,553.57 and each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall have funded its respective Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan Foreign, whether directly to Borrowers or by obtaining an assignment of a portion of the outstanding Term Loan Foreign (or Term Loan B and/or Term Loan D). Term Loan US and Term Loan Foreign shall be, with respect to principal, payable (a) each in a monthly installment, in the respective sums of $92,789 and $64,574 on August 1, 2008, and (b) thereafter in equal consecutive monthly installments, each in the respective sums of $133,880 and $81,932, commencing on September 1, 2008 and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the last day of the Term when the entire then unpaid principal sum of the Term Loans shall be payable in full, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement. The Term Loans shall be evidenced by the amended and restated secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Term Notes”) in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4-US and 2.4-F.

2.5. Swingline Loans.

(a) Agent, Swingline Lender and Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents, promptly after Borrowing Agent requests a Domestic Rate Loan on behalf of a Borrower, Swingline Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have the terms of this Section 2.5(a) apply to such Borrower’s request by advancing, on behalf of Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the applicable Borrower on the applicable borrowing date (each such Advance made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Advance”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Advance to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.5(c). Each Swingline Advance shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Domestic Rate Loans funded by Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Swingline Lender solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000. All Swingline Advances shall be subject to Section 2.2 hereof and Swingline Advances may not be made if the Swingline Lender has been notified by Agent or Required Lenders that a Default exists and that

Swingline Advance may not be made. All Swingline Advances shall be Domestic Rate Loans. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Swingline Note”) in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 2.5(a).

(b) Upon the making of a Swingline Advance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Advance), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swingline Lender, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Advance in proportion to its Commitment Percentage. Swingline Lender or Agent may, at any time, require Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swingline Advances purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Swingline Advance.

(c) Agent, on behalf of Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that Agent elects, by notifying Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone or Electronic Transmission no later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Advance) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Swingline Advance with respect to which Settlement is requested to Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amounts of Swingline Lender’s Swingline Advances and, together with Swingline Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Advance, shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.23.

2.6. Repayment of Advances.

(a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. The Term Loan shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.4 hereof and in the Term Note, subject to earlier prepayments as herein provided.

(b) Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received. In consideration of Agent’s agreement to conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account as of the Business Day on which Agent receives those items of payment, each Borrower agrees that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations one (1)

Business Day after the Business Day Agent receives such payments via wire transfer or electronic depository check. Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge the relevant Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Agent unpaid.

(c) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York Time) on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging the relevant Borrowers’ Account or by making Advances, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof.

(d) Borrowers shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any related agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim, except to the extent required by law.

2.7. Repayment of Excess Advances. The aggregate balance of Advances outstanding at any time in excess of the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder by any Borrowing Group shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred.

2.8. Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account for the US Borrowers and a loan account for the Foreign Borrowers (each a “Borrowers’ Account”), each in the name of Borrowing Agent, in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent and the respective Borrowing Group, during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.9. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Agent shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”) on behalf of any US Borrower; provided, however, that Agent will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances to all US Borrowers plus (ii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit plus (iii) the outstanding Revolving Advances to all Foreign Borrowers to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum US Revolving Advance Amount or (y) the US Formula Amount. The Maximum Undrawn Amount of outstanding

Letters of Credit shall not exceed, in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest.

2.10. Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) Borrowing Agent, on behalf of US Borrowers, may request Agent, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 10:00 a.m., New York time, to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Agent at the Payment Office, Agent’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to the satisfaction of Agent; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent may reasonably request. Borrowing Agent, on behalf of US Borrowers, also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any application, any applicable letter of credit and security agreement, any applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreement and/or any other applicable agreement, any letter of credit and the disposition of documents, disposition of any unutilized funds, and to agree with Agent upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, other written demands for payment, or acceptances of usance drafts or other written demand for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance and in no event, unless in each case otherwise agreed to by Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (and subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to Agent including, without limitation, the 105% cash collateralization requirement set forth in Section 3.2(b) of this Agreement), later than the last day of the Term. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued ("UCP") or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) ("ISP98 Rules"), as determined by Agent, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to UCP 500.

(c) Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.11. Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable US Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct the Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by the Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

2.12. Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Agent a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Agent will promptly notify Borrowing Agent. Provided that it shall have received such notice, US Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Agent shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York time, on each date that an amount is paid by Agent under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Agent. In the event US Borrowers fail to reimburse Agent for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the Drawing Date, Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and US Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that a Domestic Rate Loan be made by the Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, provided that the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances to all US Borrowers (including such Domestic Rate Loan then deemed to have been requested) plus (ii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit may not exceed the lesser of (x) the lesser of (A) the Maximum US Revolving Advance Amount or (B) an amount equal to (1) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount minus (2) the then outstanding Revolving Advances to all Foreign Borrowers or (y) the US Formula Amount, and subject to Section 8.2. Any notice given by Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.12(b) make available to Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.12(d)) each be deemed to have made a Domestic Rate Loan to US Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Open Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Domestic Rate Loans on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.12(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.12(c) (i) and (ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent of a drawing. Each Lender’s Participation Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) Agent ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled and (C) all Persons (other than the applicable US Borrower) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Domestic Rate Loan to US Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.12(b), because of Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, US Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Domestic Rate Loan. Each Lender’s payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Obligation under this Section 2.12.

(e) Each Lender’s Participation Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Agent ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled and (z) all Persons (other than the applicable US Borrower) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.13. Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for its account of immediately available funds from US Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent.

(b) If Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by US Borrowers to Agent pursuant to Section 2.13(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Agent the amount of its Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Agent plus interest at the Federal Funds Open Rate.

2.14. Documentation. Each US Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Agent’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for any US Borrower’s account and Agent’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Agent’s interpretations may be different from such US Borrower’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowing Agent’s and any US Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.15. Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Agent shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.16. Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of US Borrowers to reimburse Agent upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.16 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Agent, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(b) the failure of any US Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.12;

(d) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by US Borrower or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any US Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any US Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such US Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(e) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provisions of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(f) payment by Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as mutually agreed in writing by the Agent, all of the Lenders and each of the US Borrowers, or as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(g) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(h) any failure by the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any US Borrower, unless the Agent has received written notice from such US Borrower of such failure within three Business Days after the Agent shall have furnished such US Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(i) any Material Adverse Effect;

(j) any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto;

(k) the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

(l) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(m) the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the Obligations hereunder shall have been terminated; and

(n) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.17. Indemnity. In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 17.5 hereof, each US Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent and any of Agent’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as mutually agreed in writing by the Agent, all of the Lenders and each of the US Borrowers, or as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Body (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

2.18. Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, each US Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of

Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, Agent shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Agent shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any US Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any US Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Agent from liability for Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Agent or Agent’s Affiliates be liable to any US Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Agent or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Agent or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Agent or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put Agent under any resulting liability to any Loan Party or any Lender.

2.19. Additional Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) hereof, any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Loan Party’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including, without limitation, any Loan Party’s obligations under Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 6.1 hereof, may be charged to the relevant Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

2.20. Manner of Borrowing and Payment.

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders. The Term Loans shall be deemed to have been advanced according to the Commitment Percentages of Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Advances, shall be applied to the Revolving Advances of the relevant Borrowing Group pro rata according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders; provided, however, that any time any Swingline Advances are outstanding, such payments shall first be applied on account of the Swingline Advances. Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrowers on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Notes, shall be made from or to, or applied to that portion of the Term Loans evidenced by the Term Note of the relevant Borrowing Group pro rata according to the Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, provided that Swingline Advances shall be made as provided in Section 2.5 hereof.

(c) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.20(a) and (b) hereof, commencing with the first Business Day following the Closing Date, each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced by Agent and each payment by any Borrower on account of Revolving Advances shall be applied first to those Revolving Advances advanced by Agent. On or before 1:00 P.M., New York time, on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (I) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made by Agent during the preceding Week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such preceding Week, then each Lender shall provide Agent with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference between (w) such Revolving Advances and (x) such repayments and (II) if the

aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made during such Week, then Agent shall provide each Lender with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of the difference between (y) such repayments and (z) such Revolving Advances.

(ii) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Contract Rate on outstanding Advances which it has funded.

(iii) Promptly following each Settlement Date, Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and Advances made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d) If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(e) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Open Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder, on demand from the applicable Borrowing Group; provided, however, that Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers’ rights (if any) against such Lender.

2.21. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Subject to Section 4.3 hereof, when any Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral, the respective Borrowing Group shall repay the Advances in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such sale, such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following receipt of such Net Proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent provided, however, that this Section 2.21(a) shall not apply to any disposition of Collateral consisting of Equipment which results in Net Proceeds of not more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral consisting of Equipment so long as (i) replacement Equipment is to be purchased having a fair market value equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Equipment which was sold, (ii) replacement Equipment is purchased by the applicable Borrower within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Equipment sale, (iii) the replacement Equipment shall be subject to Agent’s security interest created hereunder and (iv) until such time as the proceeds of such disposal are used to acquire such replacement Equipment, such proceeds shall be applied as a repayment of Revolving Advances and an Eligible Reserve in the amount of such repayment shall be established. Such Eligible Reserve shall be released by Agent only in connection with the making of a Revolving Advance to be used by the Borrowers solely for the purposes of funding the acquisition of replacement Equipment pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.21(a); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall waive or modify any conditions to the making of Revolving Advances or any other provisions of this Agreement. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Any repayments required pursuant to this Section 2.21(a), other than a repayment of Revolving Advances done in connection with the establishment of an Eligible Reserve, shall be held as cash collateral and then applied (a) in the case of any US Borrower, (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of Term Loan US in the inverse order of the maturities thereof, and (y) second, to the remaining Advances in such order as Agent may determine, (b) in the case of any Foreign Borrower, (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of Term Loan Foreign in the inverse order of the maturities thereof, and (y) second, to the remaining Advances extended to Foreign Borrowers in such order as Agent may determine, provided, however, that in no event shall there be any application of such cash collateral to any Eurodollar Rate Loans until the expiration of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan. To the extent there are no outstanding Advances, all cash collateral shall be released to the relevant Borrowers and, in the case of a sale or other disposition by a Foreign Borrower, all cash collateral shall be released to the relevant Foreign Borrower upon request therefor, unless an Event of Default relating to one or more Foreign Borrowers has occurred which is then continuing. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers may reborrow Revolving Advances repaid hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) In the event any Loan Party (other than SGS) receives the proceeds of any cash equity investment other than the Ares Transaction, the respective Borrowing Group shall repay the Revolving Advances in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds thereof, such repayments

to be made promptly but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following receipt of such Net Proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be an implied waiver of the provisions of Section 10.14 hereof, nor any consent to any such issuance of equity to the extent otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such repayments shall be held as cash collateral and then applied (a) in the case of any US Borrower or any Guarantor incorporated in the United States of America, to the Revolving Advances extended to US Borrowers in such order as Agent may determine and (b) in the case of any Foreign Borrower or Guarantor incorporated other than in the United States of America, to the Revolving Advances extended to Foreign Borrowers in such order as Agent may determine, provided, however, that in no event shall there be any application of such cash collateral to any Eurodollar Rate Loans until the expiration of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan. To the extent there are no outstanding Revolving Advances, all cash collateral shall be released to the relevant Borrowers, unless an Event of Default Borrowers has occurred which is then continuing. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers may reborrow Revolving Advances repaid in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.21(b), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation for working capital needs and Capital Expenditures.

2.22. Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to provide (i) for the closing costs and Borrowers’ legal and accounting fees and expenses relating to this Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement, (ii) to repay in full the Junior Secured Indebtedness, (iii) for the working capital needs of Borrowers and (iv) for permitted Capital Expenditures.

2.23. Defaulting Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender (x) has refused (which refusal constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its portion of any Advance or (y) notifies either Agent or Borrowing Agent that it does not intend to make available its portion of any Advance (if the actual refusal would constitute a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) (each, a “Lender Default”), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) as to which a Lender Default is in effect and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.23 while such Lender Default remains in effect.

(b) Advances shall be incurred pro rata from Lenders (the “Non-Defaulting Lenders”) which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of such Lender Default. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Advances shall be applied to reduce the applicable Advances of each Lender pro rata based on the aggregate of the outstanding Advances of that type of all Lenders at the time of such application; provided, that, such amount shall not be applied to any Advances of a Defaulting Lender at any time when, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of Advances of any Non-Defaulting Lender exceeds such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all Advances then outstanding.

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents. All amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and not to have either Advances outstanding or a Commitment Percentage.

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.23, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.23 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e) In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement.

III.	INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1. Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable by each Borrowing Group with respect to its Advances in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period; provided, however, with respect to Interest Periods longer than three (3) months, interest shall be payable (i) on the day which is three (3) months after the first day of such Interest Period, (ii) on each three month anniversary thereafter and (iii) on the last day of such Interest Period. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate, (ii) with respect to Swingline Advances, the Swingline Advance Rate and (iii) with respect to the Term Loans, the applicable Term Loan Rate (as applicable, the “Contract Rate”). Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable Contract Rate for Domestic Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage to reflect such change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, the Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Contract Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

3.2. Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) US Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily undrawn amount

of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the then effective Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 of each calendar year and on the last day of the Term, and (y) to the Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum, together with any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder and shall reimburse Agent for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by Agent to the Issuer (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2%) per annum.

(b) On demand either (a) following the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (b) upon termination of this Agreement, US Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and each US Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in its discretion, on such Borrower’s behalf and in such Borrower’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower coming into any Lender’s possession at any time. Agent will invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon the occurrence of all of the following: (x) payment and performance in full of all Obligations, (y) expiration of all Letters of Credit and (z) termination of this Agreement.

3.3. Facility Fee. If, for any quarter during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of the sum of (a) Revolving Advances plus (b) the Maximum Face Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit for each day of such quarter does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders a fee at a rate equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance. For purposes of this computation, Swingline Advances shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under Swingline Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Advances. Such fee shall be payable to Agent quarterly in arrears on June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 of each calendar year and on the last day of the Term.

3.4. Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay to Agent all fees and expenses in accordance with the terms of the Fee Letter, in the amounts and when due as provided therein.

3.5. Computation of Interest and Fees. Subject to, in the case of Stream Canada, to Section 3.11, interest and fees hereunder and under the Fee Letter shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder or under the Fee Letter becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Contract Rate during such extension.

3.6. Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.7. Increased Costs. In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a) except for withholding taxes (which are covered in Section 3.10 hereof) and taxes imposed on net income of a Payee, subject Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or any Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Agent or any Lender);

(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent or any Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c) impose on Agent or any Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or

otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Agent or such Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowers, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.8. Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank Eurodollar market, with respect to an outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan,

then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan into an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan.

3.9. Capital Adequacy.

(a) In the event that Agent, any Lender or Issuer shall have determined that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent, any Lender or Issuer (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, any Lender or Issuer and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, any Lender or Issuer) and the office or branch where Agent, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined)

makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent’s, any Lender’s or Issuer’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent, such Lender or Issuer could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent’s, each Lender’s and Issuer’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent, any Lender or Issuer to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Agent, such Lender or Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent, such Lender or Issuer for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent, such Lender or Issuer may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Agent, each Lender and Issuer regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition. Any such demand shall include a brief summary of the basis for such demand.

(b) A certificate of Agent, such Lender or Issuer setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent, such Lender or Issuer with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.10. Gross Up for Taxes. If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the Other Documents to the Agent, or any Lender, assignee of any Lender, or Participant (each, individually, a “Payee” and collectively, the “Payees”), (i) the sum payable to such Payee or Payees, as the case may be, shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, the applicable Payee or Payees receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made (the “Gross-Up Payment”), (ii) such Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such withholding or deductions, and (iii) such Borrower or Guarantor shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower or Guarantor shall be obligated to make any portion of the Gross-Up Payment that is attributable to (x) withholding taxes which are in excess of taxes that are imposed on the payments made under this Agreement or Other Documents to a Payee organized under the laws of the United States that is eligible for a maximum benefit provided by an applicable income tax treaty with the United States, or (y) to any withholding or deductions that would not have been paid or claimed had the applicable Payee or Payees properly claimed a reduction in or a complete exemption with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.10(b) hereof. Each Payee agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Payee) to file any certificate or document or to furnish to the Borrowers and Guarantor any information, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Guarantor, as applicable, that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any taxes imposed on the payments made pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.10(b) shall require such Payee to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

(c) If any Payee determines in its reasonable discretion that it has received a refund or realized a credit of any taxes as to which it has received a Gross-Up Payment, it shall pay over such refund to the applicable Borrower or Guarantor (but only to the extent of Gross-Up Payments made with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses by the Payee and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund or credit); provided, however, that the applicable Borrower or Guarantor, upon the request of Agent or such Payee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower or Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Body) to such Payee in the event such Payee is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Body. Nothing contained in this Section 3.10 shall require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns or any other information which it deems confidential to any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Borrower or Guarantor the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in had the additional amounts giving rise to such refund or credit of any Gross-Up Payment never have been paid in the first place.

(d) If a Borrower or a Guarantor determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a tax imposed on the payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, the applicable Payee shall cooperate with Borrower in challenging such tax and if requested by a Borrower or a Guarantor in writing; provided, however, that the Payee shall not be required to incur any expense or to take any action hereunder which, in the reasonable discretion of the Payee, would cause the Payee or its applicable lending office to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

(e) If a Borrower or Guarantor is required to pay a Payee any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, the Payee shall, upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or Guarantor, designate a different office or transfer its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement to an affiliate if such designation or transfer would reduce or eliminate such obligation to pay additional amounts and would not, in the reasonable discretion of the Payee, be disadvantageous to such Payee.

(f) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) agrees that it will deliver to each of Borrower and Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under §1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (“Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e., U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Internal Revenue Code. Such delivery may be made by electronic transmission as described in §1.1441-1(e) (4) (iv) of the Regulations if Agent establishes an electronic delivery system. The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-81MY and the related statements and certifications as required under §1.1441-1(e)(3) of the Regulations; a statement described in §1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Each Lender, assignee or participant required to

deliver to Borrowing Agent and Agent a valid Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each Lender which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by Borrowers hereunder for the account of such Lender; (B) each assignee or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by Agent). Each Lender, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to each of Borrowing Agent and Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrowing Agent or Agent. Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax, Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under §1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, Agent is indemnified under §1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under §1441 of the Internal Revenue Code.

3.11. Compliance with the Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of this Agreement with respect to Stream Canada, whenever any interest is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a calendar year, the annual rate of interest to which such rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) to such rate as so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation.

3.12. Judgment Currency. Without limiting any other rights in this Agreement, if for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (herein called the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due hereunder in any currency other than the Judgment Currency, then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which Agent would, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), be prepared to sell a similar amount of such currency in New York, New York against the Judgment Currency. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of payment of the amount due, the applicable Borrower or Guarantor will, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment is the amount then due under this Agreement or any Other Document in such other currency. Any additional amount due from any Borrower or Guarantor under this Section 3.12 will be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents.

(a) To secure the prompt payment and performance to Agent and each Lender of all of the Obligations, each US Borrower and SHC hereby ratifies, confirms, and acknowledges its prior grant of security interest to Agent and Lenders in and to all of its Collateral, whether pursuant to the Third Restated Loan Agreement (or the Original Loan Agreement, Restated Loan Agreement or Second Restated Loan Agreement, as such terms were used in the Third Restated Loan Agreement), each Stock Pledge Agreement and/or the Pledge of Receivables. Each US Borrower hereby further assigns, pledges, hypothecates and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of each Lender a continuing security interest in and to all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, as security for all of the Obligations; provided, however, that (x) the grant of the security interest in Collateral consisting of the Capital Stock of Stream BV shall have been granted pursuant to the Deed of Pledge of Shares and (y) the grant of the security interest in Collateral consisting of 65% of the Capital Stock of each of Stream Canada, Stream UK, Stream Germany, Stream Service BV and Stream BV shall have been granted pursuant to the respective Foreign Security Agreements and shall not be deemed granted hereunder.

Except as used in the preceding sentence, for purposes of Sections 4.1 though 4.20 of this Agreement, the definition of Collateral shall be deemed to not include any Collateral in which Agent has been granted a Lien pursuant to the German Security Agreements.

(d) Stream UK hereby ratifies, confirms, and acknowledges its prior grant of security interest to Agent and Lenders in and to all of its Collateral pursuant to each of the Northern Ireland Security Agreements in order to create and grant to Agent for the benefit of Lenders a security interest in all of its Collateral.

Stream Germany is obligated to assign any such commercial tort claim to Agent upon request therefor by Agent. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any of the Foreign Security Agreements with respect to any Collateral of the Foreign Borrowers, the respective terms of such Foreign Security Agreement shall control.

4.2. Perfection of Security Interest.

(a) Each Loan Party shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent may reasonably request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) obtaining landlords’ or mortgagees’ lien waivers in respect of Collateral located in the United States or Canada, (iii) delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments (including any promissory notes), letters of credit and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) entering into warehousing, blocked account, lockbox and other custodial arrangements satisfactory to Agent, and (v) executing and delivering financing statements, control agreements, instruments of pledge, mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Agent’s security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. By its signature hereto, Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent, at any time and from time to time, to file, without the signature of any Loan Party in accordance with Section 9-509 of the Uniform Commercial Code, financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto including, without limitation, financial statements that describe the Collateral as “all assets” of the applicable Loan Party and which contain any other information required by the Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statements, continuation statements or amendments, all in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein). All charges, expenses and fees Agent may reasonably incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations, or, at Agent’s option, shall be paid to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon demand.

(b) Each Loan Party shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Agent may reasonably request (i) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds such Collateral for Agent, (ii) to obtain “control” of any letter-of-credit rights, deposit accounts or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined in the Uniform

Commercial Code with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of Collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and of its rights therein. If any Borrower shall at any time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) in excess of $25,000, such Borrower shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, therein providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and upon delivery thereof to Agent, such Borrower shall be deemed to thereby grant to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of each Lender) a security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of and governed by this Agreement.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby confirms and ratifies all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed by Agent with respect to such Loan Party on or prior to the date of the Agreement.

4.3. Disposition of Collateral. Each Loan Party will safeguard and protect all Collateral for Agent’s general account and make no disposition thereof whether by sale, lease or otherwise except (i) the disposition or transfer of Collateral in the ordinary course of business during any fiscal year having an aggregate fair market value of not more than $1,000,000 and (ii) the disposition or any Collateral which is the subject of a casualty event and for which proceeds of insurance are being received, and only to the extent that, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), (a) the proceeds of any such disposition are used to acquire replacement Equipment which is subject to Agent’s first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) or (b) the proceeds of which or are remitted to Agent to be applied or disbursed pursuant to Section 2.21.

Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent: (a) may at any time take such steps as Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect Agent’s interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of such security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any Loan Party’s premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Borrower’s owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any Borrower’s owned or leased property. Each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Agent’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct. All of Agent’s reasonable expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be payable by Borrowers and charged to the relevant Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.

4.5. Ownership of Collateral. With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent’s security interest: (a) each Loan Party shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of its respective Collateral to Agent; and, except for Permitted

4.6. Defense of Agent’s and Lenders’ Interests. Until (a) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and (b) termination of this Agreement, Agent’s interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. Each Loan Party shall defend Agent’s interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following demand by Agent for payment of all Obligations pursuant to an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including without limitation: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, upon the written request of Agent, each Loan Party shall, and Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order and if they shall come into any Loan Party’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Agent’s trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.7. Books and Records. Each Loan Party shall (a) keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs; (b) set up on its books accruals with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims; and (c) on a reasonably current basis set up on its books, from its earnings, allowances against doubtful Receivables, advances and investments and all other proper accruals (including without limitation by reason of enumeration, accruals for premiums, if any, due on required payments and accruals for depreciation, obsolescence, or amortization of properties), which should be set aside from such earnings in connection with its business. All determinations pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP (or the relevant foreign equivalent of GAAP with respect to the Foreign Borrowers) consistently applied in the opinion of such independent public accountant as shall then be regularly engaged by Loan Parties.

4.8. Financial Disclosure. Each Loan Party will, at the request of Agent, deliver to Agent and each Lender copies of any of such Loan Party’s financial statements, trial balances, reports or management letters provided to such Loan Party by its accountants. Furthermore, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs, effective upon the declaration of an Event of Default by Agent and during the continuance thereof, all accountants and auditors employed

by such Loan Party at any time during the Term to exhibit and deliver to Agent and each Lender copies of any of the Loan Party’s financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in the accountant’s or auditor’s possession, and to disclose to Agent and each Lender any information such accountants may have concerning such Loan Party’s financial status and business operations. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes all federal, state, provincial and municipal authorities to furnish to Agent and each Lender copies of reports or examinations relating to such Loan Party, whether made by such Loan Party or otherwise; however, Agent and each Lender will attempt to obtain such information or materials directly from such Loan Party prior to obtaining such information or materials from such authorities.

4.9. Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party shall comply in all material respects with all acts, rules, regulations and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official applicable to its respective Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such Loan Party’s business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party may, however, contest or dispute any acts, rules, regulations, orders and directions of those bodies or officials in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent’s Lien on or security interest in the Collateral. The assets of Loan Parties at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the assets of Loan Parties so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect.

4.10. Inspection of Property; Books and Records; Discussions. Each Loan Party shall permit any authorized representative(s) designated by either Agent or any Lender to visit and inspect, any of the Collateral, to examine, audit, check and make copies of such Loan Party’s financial and accounting records, books, journals, orders, receipts and any correspondence (other than privileged correspondence with legal counsel) and other data relating to its respective businesses or the transactions contemplated hereby or referenced herein, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its management personnel and independent certified public accountants, during normal business hours and at any other reasonable time, as often as may be reasonably requested. Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that Agent and Lenders will engage an independent consultant to act as their representative to undertake certain of the aforesaid actions on behalf of Agent and Lenders and covenant that such Loan Party will cooperate fully with such consultant in the conduct of its activities and make available such personnel, information, data and documents as are requested by such consultant in the conduct of such activities.

4.11. Insurance. Each Loan Party shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral. At each Loan Party’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers reasonably acceptable to Agent, each Loan Party shall (a) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which such Loan Party has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party including, without limitation business interruption insurance; (b) maintain a bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or

jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Loan Party either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (c) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (d) maintain worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Loan Party is engaged in business; (e) furnish Agent with (i) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least twenty (20) days before any expiration date, and (ii) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as a loss payee and additional insured with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clause (a) above, and providing (A) that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Agent, (B) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (C) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice is given to Agent. In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the applicable Loan Party to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to such Loan Party and Agent jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Loan Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Loan Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in clause (a) above. All loss recoveries received by Agent upon any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Agent shall remit to the applicable Loan Party insurance proceeds of up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all Loan Parties during any fiscal year reasonably necessary to replace Equipment useful in the operation of the applicable Loan Party’s business. Any surplus shall be paid by Agent to the applicable Loan Party or applied as may be otherwise required by law.

4.12. Failure to Pay Insurance. If any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such Loan Party and charge the relevant Borrowers’ Account therefor as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations.

4.13. Payment of Taxes. Each Loan Party will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon such Loan Party or any of the Collateral including, without limitation, foreign, federal, provincial, state or other local real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes, subject to Loan Party’s right to contest or dispute in good faith any of the above as set forth in this Section 4.13. If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Loan Party and Agent or any Lender which Agent or any Lender is required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Agent’s or any Lender’s reasonable judgment, may create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrowing Agent pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and the relevant Borrowing Group hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof. Agent will not pay any taxes,

assessments or Charges to the extent that any Loan Party has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any related tax lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent’s security interest in or Lien on the Collateral. The amount of any payment by Agent under this Section 4.13 shall be charged to the relevant Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations and, until Loan Parties shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor (or supply Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Agent may hold without interest any balance standing to Loan Parties’ credit and Agent shall retain its security interest in any and all Collateral held by Agent.

4.14. Payment of Leasehold Obligations. Each Loan Party shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Agent’s request will provide evidence of having done so, except where the failure to pay such contractual obligations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.15. Receivables.

(a) Nature of Receivables. Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice (except with respect to Unbilled Receivables until such time as each applicable account has been billed) relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by the applicable Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

(b) Solvency of Customers. Each Customer, to the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is solvent and able to pay all Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in full when due or, with respect to such Customers of any Loan Party who are known to such Loan Party not to be solvent on the date each Receivable is created, such Loan Party has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables.

(c) Locations of Borrower. Each Loan Party’s chief executive office is located at the addresses set forth on Schedule 4.15(c) hereto. Until written notice is given to Agent by any Loan Party of any other office at which Borrower keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office.

(d) Collection of Receivables. Each Borrower and such other Loan Parties whose assets are included in the calculation of the applicable Formula Amount on the Borrowing Base Certificate, if any, shall instruct its Customers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables to such lockbox account or Blocked Account as Agent shall designate from time to time as contemplated by Section 4.15(h) or as otherwise agreed to from time to time by Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Borrower or such other Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables, such Borrower and such other Loan Party will, at its sole cost and expense, but on Agent’s behalf and for Agent’s account, collect as Agent’s property and in trust for Agent such amounts received on Receivables, and shall not commingle such collections with any Borrower’s or such other Loan Party’s funds or use the same except to pay Obligations. Each Borrower and such other Loan Party shall, upon request, deliver to Agent, or deposit in a Blocked Account, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness.

(e) Notification of Assignment of Receivables. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but subject to the requirements of any Applicable Law prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default requiring notice in order to have a perfected or priority Lien, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent’s security interest in, the Receivables to any and all Customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or both. Agent’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to the relevant Borrowers’ Account and added to the Obligations.

(f) Power of Agent to Act on Loan Parties’ Behalf. Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with power to send verifications of Receivables to any Customer and to sign such Loan Party’s name on all documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to file same. Furthermore, each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with power (i) to endorse such Loan Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (ii) to sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Receivables, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables; (iii) to demand payment of the Receivables; (iv) to enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (v) to exercise all of such Loan Party’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral; (vi) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables; (vii) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables; (viii) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Customer; (ix) to prepare, file and sign such Loan Party’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables; and (x) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement; provided, however, such power shall not be exercised with respect to clauses (i) through (ix) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. Agent shall have the right at

any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Default, to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party.

(g) No Liability. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event or Default Agent may, without notice or consent from any Loan Party, xxx upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the Receivables or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any obligor thereof. Agent is authorized and empowered to accept following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event or Default the return of the goods represented by any of the Receivables, without notice to or consent by any Loan Party, all without discharging or in any way affecting any Loan Party’s liability hereunder.

(h) Establishment of a Lockbox Account. All proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by Loan Parties into one or more accounts maintained at PNC or, with the prior written agreement of Agent, be deposited by Loan Parties into one or more lockbox accounts, dominion accounts or such other “blocked accounts” (“Blocked Accounts”) as Agent may require pursuant to an arrangement with such bank as may be selected by Borrowing Agent and be reasonably acceptable to Agent. Each applicable Loan Party shall issue to any such bank, an irrevocable letter of instruction directing said bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent, either to an account maintained by Agent at said bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) of Agent; provided, however, that with respect to Blocked Accounts located outside of the United States, such direction to transfer to an account of Agent shall only occur subsequent to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the respective Borrower may, from time to time, transfer funds from a Blocked Account (into which collections of Receivables are directed to be paid) to an operating account at the same bank (which, to the extent practicable in the respective jurisdiction, shall also constitute a Blocked Account), and utilize such funds for general operating needs and for loans and investments to the extent permitted under this Agreement, and deliver to Agent an accounting thereof no less frequently then on a monthly basis. Agent reserves the right, however, to notify the respective bank with respect to any Blocked Account, at any time, that funds may only be transferred thereafter from the collection account to the operating account with the written approval of Agent. All funds deposited in any Blocked Account shall immediately become the property of Agent (except as otherwise provided in agreements entered into by Agent with respect to Blocked Accounts located outside of the United States) and Loan Parties shall obtain the agreement by such bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder. Each agreement with respect to a Blocked Account shall not be terminable by the respective Loan Party without the express written consent of Agent, until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid in full in immediately available funds.

(i) Adjustments. No Loan Party will, without Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of the Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the business of such Loan Party.

(j) Additional Blocked Accounts. Prior to the Closing Date, (a) a Blocked Account agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent shall be executed by all parties with respect to all bank accounts of Stream UK in Northern Ireland and England, (b) Fortis Bank (Nederland) NV (“Fortis NV”) shall have confirmed and taken notice of the pledge of Stream BV’s bank account with Fortis NV, which shall be subject to the Deed of Disclosed Pledge of Bank Accounts, to Agent, and Fortis NV shall have waived any rights of pledge, set-off and retention with respect thereto, (c) Stream BV shall have instructed all of its Customers to immediately thereafter pay all proceeds of Receivables to a bank account established in the name of Agent with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. or another financial institution acceptable to Agent located in the Netherlands (the “Dutch Bank”) for the collection of Stream BV’s Receivables (the “BV Collection Account”) and (d) Stream BV shall have established, with the Dutch Bank, for the payment by Stream BV of its obligations in the ordinary course of its business in the Netherlands, an operations account (the “BV Operations Account”), which shall be subject to the Deed of Disclosed Pledge of Bank Accounts and the Dutch Bank shall have confirmed and taken notice of the pledge of Stream BV’s bank account to Agent and waived any rights of pledge, set-off and retention with respect thereto. Agent shall notify the Dutch Bank, by sending a notice to the Dutch Bank substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.15(j), that unless and until it receives instructions from Agent to the contrary (which Agent shall not send unless and until (i) an Event of Default has occurred or (ii) Stream BV has been declared bankrupt pursuant to the Netherlands Bankruptcy Code (Faillissementswet) or otherwise), Stream BV shall be authorized to transfer funds from the BV Collection Account to the BV Operations Account. Stream BV hereby agrees that any and all transfers of funds from the BV Collection Account to the BV Operations Account shall only be made in the ordinary course of its business. All amounts received by Agent in the BV Collection Account shall be deemed to constitute repayments by Stream BV of Revolving Advances due and owing from Stream BV and all amounts transferred from the BV Collection Account to the BV Operations Account shall be deemed to constitute new Revolving Advances to Stream BV but, unless otherwise determined by Agent in its sole discretion, such repayments and further extensions of credit shall not be included in the calculation of the Formula Amount, the Foreign Formula Amount, Undrawn Availability, interest due on outstanding Advances, statements of account as between Agent and the Lenders or for any other purposes under this Agreement.

Each Loan Party shall have the right to sell Equipment to the extent set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.

4.18. Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of Loan Party’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

Such information is to be provided to allow Agent to protect its security interest in the Real Property and the Collateral and is not intended to create nor shall it create any obligation upon Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

(f) Loan Parties shall respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint and take all necessary action in order to safeguard the health of any Person and to avoid subjecting the Collateral or Real Property to any Lien. If any Loan Party shall fail to respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint or any Loan Party shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, Agent on behalf of Lenders may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Agent’s interest in Collateral: (A) give such notices or (B) enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by Agent) deem reasonably necessary or advisable, to clean up, remove, mitigate or otherwise deal with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances shall be paid upon demand by Loan Parties, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any Loan Party.

Any report or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to an appropriate Authority that is charged to oversee the clean-up of such Hazardous Discharge shall be acceptable to Agent.

contiguous real estate, including any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender. Loan Parties’ obligations under this Section 4.19 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substances.

XI.	LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated; and, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter (such default not having previously been cured), at the option of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances and (iii) a filing of a petition (or foreign equivalent) against any Loan Party in any involuntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy laws, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be terminated other than as may be required by an appropriate order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Loan Party. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Foreign Security Agreements, under the Uniform

Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Agent may enter any of any Loan Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to Loan Parties therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Agent is granted permission to use all of each Loan Party’s trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used in connection with the collection of each Loan Party’s Receivables. The proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.5. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

11.2. Agent’s Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder; provided, however, that this Section 11.2 shall not apply with respect to any Lien or security interest granted under any of the German Security Agreements.

11.3. Setoff. In addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right to apply any Loan Party’s property held by Agent and such Lender to reduce the Obligations.

11.4. Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5. Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary except for Sections 16.3 and 16.4, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Agent on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Other Documents or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents and any protective advances made by the Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Document;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender;

FOURTH, to the payment of all Swingline Advances (including, without limitation, accrued fees and interest);

FIFTH, to the payment of all accrued fees and interest on Advances (other than with respect to the Swingline Advances);

SIXTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (including the payment or cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit), other than Swingline Advance, in such order as Agent shall determine;

SEVENTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations consisting of liabilities under Swap Contracts;

EIGHTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Other Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SEVENTH” above;

NINTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrowing Agent on behalf of the applicable Borrower or whoever else may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Advances held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH”, “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH” and “EIGHTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “SIXTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “SIXTH” and “SEVENTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5.

XII.	WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

12.2. Delay. No delay or omission on Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any default.

12.3. Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

XIII.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

13.1. Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until July 30, 2013 (the “Term”) unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrowers may terminate this Agreement at any time upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of the Obligations.

13.2. Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Loan Party’s, Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created or Obligations have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force

100

and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrowers’ Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations of each Borrower have been paid or performed in full in connection with the termination of this Agreement or each Loan Party has furnished Agent and Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights which it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to each Loan Party, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid in full in immediately available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all Obligations are paid or performed in full.

XIV.	REGARDING AGENT.

14.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Section 3.3 and in the Fee Letter), charges and collections (without giving effect to any collection days) received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including without limitation, collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or applicable law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2. Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of

101

Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3. Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Loan Party. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition of Loan Party, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

Agent may resign on sixty (60) days’ written notice to each of Lenders and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers. Any resignation by PNC as Agent pursuant to this Section 14.3 shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender.

Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of the Dutch Security Agreements, any resignation by Agent is not effective until its contractual relationship under the Parallel Debt Foreign and the Parallel Debt US, including all its rights and obligations thereunder, is transferred to the successor Agent. Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt Foreign and the Parallel Debt US to the successor Agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under the Dutch Security Agreements to the successor Agent.

14.4. Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

102

14.5. Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.6. Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.7. Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the Advances (or, if no Advances are outstanding, according to its Collective Commitment Percentage), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct.

14.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.9. Delivery of Documents. When and to the extent Agent receives each Borrowing Base Certificate required under Section 9.2 and financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13, from any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders, which shall include by electronic or web-site posting means.

103

14.10. Borrowers’ Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.11. No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any record-keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

XV.	GUARANTEE.

15.1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, (a) without set-off or counterclaim and (b) free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, stamp taxes, duties, charges to tax, fees, deductions, withholdings and any conditions or restrictions resulting in charges to tax and all penalties, interest and other payments on or in respect thereof (except for charges based on the overall net income of Agent or a Lender) (“Tax” or “Taxes”) unless the applicable Guarantor is compelled by law to make payment subject to such Taxes.

15.2. Intentionally Omitted.

15.3. Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (ii) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (iii) any requirement that the Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or any Collateral, (iv) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of

104

the Obligations, (v) all suretyship defenses and (vi) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations by the Loan Parties and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Agent.

15.4. No Defense. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.

15.5. Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Article XV, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or any Lender in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Loan Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Loan Party.

15.6. Indemnity. As an original and independent obligation under this Agreement, each Guarantor shall (a) indemnify the Agent and each of the Lenders and keep the Agent and each of the Lenders indemnified against all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by any party to make due and punctual payment of any of the Obligations or resulting from any of the Obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Borrower (including, but without limitation, all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by Agent and each of the Lenders, or any of them in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Agreement); and (b) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not Agent or any of the Lenders have attempted to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other Person or otherwise, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party being indemnified as mutually agreed in writing by the party being indemnified and Guarantor, or as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

15.7. Liabilities Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment,

105

discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:

(i) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Other Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower or otherwise;

(ii) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;

(iii) the failure of the Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith;

(iv) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party other than any other Loan Party;

(v) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party; and

(vi) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Advances, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations to any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents.

106

15.8. Waiver of Notice. The Agent shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.

15.9. Agent’s Discretion. Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

15.10. Reinstatement.

(a) The Guaranty provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon the Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such Person with any such claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent and/or Lenders for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person(s).

(b) Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations.

(c) No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to compete with Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations.

(d) If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.

107

(e) Except to the extent expressly permitted by Sections 7.7 and 7.17 hereof, all present and future monies payable by any Loan Party to any Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Agent and Lenders hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Agent’s prior right to payment in full of Obligations. Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, or expressly permitted by Sections 7.7 and 7.17 hereof, all monies received by any Guarantor from any Loan Party shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and trustee for Agent. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate when the Obligations are paid in full in cash and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.

(f) Each Loan Party acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise set forth herein, agrees to make no payments to any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to give full effect to the provisions hereof.

15.11. Action Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent may and upon written request of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or demand upon any Loan Party or any other Person, declare any obligations of such Guarantor hereunder immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Guarantor. Upon such declaration by the Agent, the Agent and Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisions or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Agent or Lenders to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of each Guarantor now or hereafter existing hereunder, whether or not the Agent or Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder against any other Loan Party and although such obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of the Agent and Lenders hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Agent and Lenders may have. Upon such declaration by the Agent, with respect to any claims (other than those claims referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) of any Guarantor against any Loan Party (the “Claims”), the Agent shall have the full right on the part of the Agent in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, the Agent and each of its officers being hereby irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for each Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing in the name of each Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Each Guarantor will receive as trustee for the Agent and will pay to the Agent forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from any Loan Party on account of the Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any of the Claims be represented by any notes, other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall either be made payable to the Agent, or if payable to any Guarantor, shall forthwith be endorsed by such Guarantor to the Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Claims or any security interest therein shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement be filed with respect thereto by any Guarantor.

108

15.12. Statute of Limitations. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by any Loan Party or others (including any Lenders) with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any Guarantor against the Agent or Lenders shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

15.13. Interest. All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate per annum then chargeable with respect to Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances.

15.14. Guarantor’s Investigation. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of the Loan Parties and of the financial condition of the Loan Parties. Neither Agent nor any Lender has made and neither Agent nor any Lender does make any representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Loan Party nor has Agent or any Lender made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations of any Loan Party to which this Article XV applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Agent or any Lender or any officer, agent or employee of Agent or any Lender or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and such Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.

15.15. Termination. The provisions of this Article XV shall remain in effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations and irrevocable termination of this Agreement.

XVI.	BORROWING AGENCY.

16.1. Borrowing Agency Provisions; Several Nature of Foreign Borrowers.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.

(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. None of Agent, any Issuer or any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent, each Issuer and each Lender and holds Agent, each Issuer and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent, any Issuer or any Lender by any

109

Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Agent, any Lender or any Issuer on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent, any Lender or any Issuer with respect to this Section 16.1 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Sections 16.3 and 16.4, all Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party, failure of Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and such agreement by each Loan Party to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or any Lender to the other Loan Parties or any Collateral for such Loan Party’s Obligations or the lack thereof.

16.2. Waivers. Each Loan Party expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Loan Party may now or hereafter have against the other Loan Parties or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Loan Parties’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations. Each Loan Party hereby waives all suretyship defenses. Each Borrower hereby agrees that the other waiver provisions applicable to each Guarantor under the provisions of Article 15 of this Agreement, shall be applicable to each Borrower, as if each Borrower were also a Guarantor.

16.3. Limitation on Liability of Foreign Borrowers. It is the intent of the parties and the parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Other Documents, Foreign Borrowers shall not be liable for any US Obligations, the present and future assets of Foreign Borrowers shall not be subject to any Charges, claim or action by the Agent or the Lenders to satisfy any US Obligations and neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any recourse under this Agreement or any Other Documents against any Foreign Borrower or its assets in respect of any US Obligations. All amounts paid by Foreign Borrowers and all value derived from its assets shall be applied only to Obligations of Foreign Borrowers. As and when the Obligations owing in respect of Term Loan Foreign and the Revolving Advances due and owing from any Foreign Borrower have been reduced to zero, and the agreement of Agent and Lenders to make any further Revolving Advances to any Foreign Borrower shall have irrevocably terminated, then Foreign Borrowers shall cease to be Borrowers and shall be entitled to be released and discharged from all obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, the Agent and Lenders shall have no further claim against any Foreign Borrower or its assets and all provisions of this Agreement that relate to Foreign Borrowers, other than provisions which apply generally to Subsidiaries or Foreign Subsidiaries shall cease to have further force and effect. Any references in this Agreement or in any Other Documents to specific statutes or to governmental agencies of the United States of America (including, without limitation, the reference to the National Labor Relations Board in Section 5.14(b)(ii)), shall be,

110

when applied to any Foreign Borrower, deemed to refer to the applicable provisions or governmental agencies of Canada, Northern Ireland or Germany, as the case may be, if any, provided, however, that Sections 5.25, 7.16, 7.18 and 9.15 shall be inapplicable to Foreign Borrowers. Any reference in a financial covenant or otherwise to any Dollar figure shall be deemed, when applied to Stream Canada, Stream UK, Stream BV, Stream Service BV or Stream Germany, to refer to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable foreign currency.

16.4. Limitation on Liability of Stream Germany.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary the parties hereto agree that if and to the extent that (i) any guaranty, indemnity and/or security granted by Stream Germany and/or (ii) any joint and several liability assumed in respect of the Obligations of any Borrower by Stream Germany under this Agreement (together, the “Stream Germany Security”) is enforced against Stream Germany with respect to Obligations of a direct or indirect shareholder of Stream Germany or a subsidiary of such shareholder which is an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of § 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), the right to enforce the Stream Germany Security against Stream Germany shall be limited to its net assets (Nettovermögen) if otherwise the enforcement of the Stream Germany Security would result in a breach of sections 30 et seq. of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbHG).

(b) The net assets within the meaning of Section 16.4(a) above shall be the total assets of Stream Germany, calculated as the sum of the balance sheet positions shown under § 266 (2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), less the sum of the liabilities shown under balance sheet positions pursuant to § 266 (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code and the registered share capital (Stammkapital).

(c) The amount that may be enforced under the Stream Germany Security shall be reduced to the extent and up to the amount with respect to which Stream Germany demonstrates upon receiving a request for payment from the Agent and/or any Lender that the enforcement of the Stream Germany Security would exceed the limits provided for under this Section 16.4, provided that Stream Germany shall upon request of the Agent and/or any Lender within a period of twenty (20) Business Days from receipt of such request deliver a confirmation of its auditors addressed to the Agent and/or any of the Lenders with respect to the amounts stated as its net assets calculated pursuant to this Section 16.4. Such confirmation by the auditors of Stream Germany shall be binding on the Agent and/or any Lender, save in the case of manifest error.

(d) For the purposes of the calculation under Section 16.4(a) and (b) above the following adjustments shall be made:

(i) The amount of any increase of Stream Germany’s stated share capital after the date hereof (i) that has been effected without the prior written consent of the Agent, (ii) that has been affected out of retained earnings (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) or (iii) to the extent that it is not fully paid up, shall be deducted from the stated share capital; and

111

(ii) Any shareholder loans to the extent such shareholder loans have not to be taken into account as a liability under the relevant calculation pursuant to section 30 of the German Limited Liability Company’s Act or any other loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by Stream Germany in violation of any agreement to which it and the Lenders and/or the Agent are a party shall be deducted from the liabilities.

(e) If enforcement of the Stream Germany Security shall be limited in accordance with Section 16.4(a) to (d) above, Stream Germany shall realize, to the extent legally permitted, any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets if the relevant assets are not necessary for Stream Germany’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendiges Vermögen).

16.5. Parallel Debt Foreign.

(a) Stream BV and Stream Service BV hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertake to pay to Agent, acting on its own behalf (in Dutch: voor zich) and not as agent for any Person, amounts equal to the aggregate amount payable (verschuldigd) by any Foreign Borrower in respect of the Foreign Obligations (such payment undertakings by Stream BV or Stream Service BV to Agent, hereinafter referred to as the “Parallel Debt Foreign”).

(b) The Parallel Debt Foreign will become due and payable (opeisbaar) as and when one or more of the Foreign Obligations becomes due and payable without any further notice being required.

(c) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that: (i) the Parallel Debt Foreign constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of each of Stream BV and Stream Service BV to Agent which is transferable and separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Foreign Obligations and (ii) the Parallel Debt Foreign represents Agent’s own separate and independent claim (eigen en zelfstandige vordering) to receive payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign from Stream BV or Stream Service BV, it being understood, that the amount which may become payable by Stream BV or Stream Service BV under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt Foreign from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount which is payable under the relevant Foreign Obligations from time to time.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby confirms that the claim of Agent against Stream BV and/or Stream Service BV in respect of the Parallel Debt Foreign and the claims of any Lender against the parties in respect of the Foreign Obligations payable to such Lender do not constitute common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 of the Dutch Civil Code (“DCC”) and that the provisions relating to such common property shall not apply. If, however, it shall be held that such claim of the Agent and such claims of any Lender do constitute such common property and such provisions do apply, the parties to this Agreement agree that this Agreement shall constitute the administration agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of Article 3:168 DCC.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that this Agreement is not to be construed as an agreement as referred to in Article 6:16 DCC and that Article 6:16

112

DCC shall not apply, and therefore, that the provisions relating to common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 DCC shall not apply by analogy to the relationship between Agent and any Lender on the one hand and Stream BV and Stream Service BV on the other hand.

(f) To the extent Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign (the “Received Amount”), the Foreign Obligations shall be reduced by an aggregate amount (the “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the Foreign Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Foreign Obligations, the Parallel Debt Foreign shall be reduced accordingly as if such payment was received as a payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign.

16.6. Parallel Debt US.

(a) Stream hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to Agent, acting on its own behalf (in Dutch: voor zich) and not as agent for any Person, amounts equal to the aggregate amount payable (verschuldigd) in respect of the US Obligations (such payment undertakings by Stream to Agent, hereinafter referred to as the “Parallel Debt US”).

(b) The Parallel Debt US will become due and payable (opeisbaar) as and when one or more of the US Obligations becomes due and payable without any further notice being required.

(c) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that: (i) the Parallel Debt US constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of Stream to Agent which is transferable and separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the US Obligations and (ii) the Parallel Debt US represents Agent’s own separate and independent claim (eigen en zelfstandige vordering) to receive payment of the Parallel Debt US from Stream, it being understood, that the amount which may become payable by Stream under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt US from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount which is payable under the relevant US Obligations from time to time.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby confirms that the claim of Agent against Stream in respect of the Parallel Debt US and the claims of any Lender against the parties in respect of the US Obligations payable to such Lender do not constitute common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 of the Dutch Civil Code (“DCC”) and that the provisions relating to such common property shall not apply. If, however, it shall be held that such claim of the Agent and such claims of any Lender do constitute such common property and such provisions do apply, the parties to this Agreement agree that this Agreement shall constitute the administration agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of Article 3:168 DCC.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that this Agreement is not to be construed as an agreement as referred to in Article 6:16 DCC and that Article 6:16 DCC shall not apply, and therefore, that the provisions relating to common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Article 3:166 DCC shall not apply by analogy to the relationship between Agent and any Lender on the one hand and Stream on the other hand.

113

(f) To the extent Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt US (the “US Received Amount”), the US Obligations shall be reduced by an aggregate amount (the “US Deductible Amount”) equal to the US Received Amount in the manner as if the US Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the US Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the US Obligations, the Parallel Debt US shall be reduced accordingly as if such payment was received as a payment of the Parallel Debt US.

XVII.

MISCELLANEOUS.

17.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applied to contracts to be performed wholly within the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Loan Party with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement or any related agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrower at its address set forth in Section 17.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at the Agent’s and/or any Lender’s option, by service upon Borrowing Agent which each Loan Party irrevocably appoints as such Loan Party’s Agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Loan Party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Any judicial proceeding by any Loan Party against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of New York, State of New York.

17.2. Entire Understanding.

(a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Loan Party’s, Agent’s and each Lender’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing,

114

signed by the party to be charged (subject to the other provisions of this Section 17.2). Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Required Lenders, or Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders, and Loan Parties may, subject to the provisions of this Section 17.2 (b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Loan Parties, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders or Loan Parties thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all Lenders:

(i) increase the Commitment Percentage or maximum Dollar commitment of any Lender.

(ii) extend the maturity of any Note or the due date for any amount payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable by Borrowers to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section 17.2(b).

(iv) release any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) having an aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000 or, subsequent to the Closing Date, release any Loan Party.

(v) change the rights and duties of Agent.

(vi) permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder plus the then outstanding Swingline Advances would exceed (1) the Formula Amount for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days, (2) one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount or (3) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.

(vii) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date.

(viii) alter, amend or modify the provisions of Section 7.23.

(c) The rights and duties of Agent and the Swingline Lender may only be modified with the written consent of Agent and the Swingline Lender as the case may be.

Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions

115

and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding (a) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (b) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or (c) any other provision of this Agreement, Agent may, at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Formula Amount for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business Days, whether with respect to Revolving Advances made to US Borrowers, to Foreign Borrowers or to Borrowers in the aggregate, but not in excess of one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount, nor in any event in excess of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be “Eligible US Receivables” or “Eligible Foreign Receivables” becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than five percent (5%), whether with respect to Revolving Advances made to US Borrowers, to Foreign Borrowers or to Borrowers in the aggregate, Agent shall use its efforts to have the applicable Borrowing Group decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.

In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 17.2, the Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, or (b) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied, to make Revolving Advances to the Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to the applicable Borrowing Group pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that at any time after giving effect to any such Revolving Advances the outstanding Revolving Advances do not exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount with respect to US Borrowers, to Foreign Borrowers or to Borrowers in the aggregate.

17.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

116

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other financial institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Transferee”). Each Transferee may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Transferee were the direct holder thereof provided that Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Transferee more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Transferee had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Transferee. Each Loan Party hereby grants to any Transferee a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Transferee as security for the Transferee’s interest in the Advances.

(c) Any Lender may with the consent of Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional banks or financial institutions and one or more additional banks or financial institutions may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording; provided, however, that Lenders may sell, assign or transfer a portion of their interests under the Loan Agreement and Notes to Affiliates of each such Lender, without the consent of Agent and without the applicability of the $5,000,000 minimum amount otherwise applicable to such sales, assignments or transfers, not to exceed, for each Lender and Affiliates thereof, three (3) such sales, assignments or transfers in the aggregate during the term of the Loan Agreement. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Any and all such sales, assignments and transfers shall be pro rata as to the Commitment Percentages of the Transferor Lender in all Advances; in no event shall any Lender hold, sell or acquire differing percentages of types of Advance or commitments to fund Advances, including without limitation relating to US Obligations versus Foreign Obligations, Revolving Advances versus Term Loans. Loan Parties hereby consent to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of

the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of an assignment to an existing Lender, the amount of any assignment with respect to a borrowing to Stream BV or Stream Service BV shall always be at least EUR 50,000, its Dollar Equivalent or its equivalent in foreign currency.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall limit in any way the right of any Lender (without notice to, consent of, Agent or any Borrower) to assign all or a portion of the Advances owing to it from time to time to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) to any other Person to whom such Lender is indebted from time to time (including, but not limited to, under any warehousing, securitization or overnight repurchase facility), as collateral security in respect thereof, but no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Except with respect to the pledge of shares executed by Stream Germany, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations.

17.7. Survival. The obligations of Loan Parties under Sections 2.2(f), 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.19(h) and 17.5 and of Lenders under Section 14.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.

17.8. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

17.9. Expenses.

17.10. Injunctive Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

Each Lender and Agent hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender and Agent as assignor, any Commitment Transfer Supplement necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s or Agent’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 17.12.
