(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below (a) provided a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or could reasonably be expected to occur if the relevant Protective Advance is not made) or (b) at any time that any of the conditions precedent set out in Section 6 have not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent is authorised by the Credit Parties and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers on behalf of all Lenders (provided however Loans to the French Borrower shall only be made on behalf of the French Lenders by a French Qualifying Lender), which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 12.5) and other sums payable under the Credit Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed (x) 10% of the European Revolving Commitments at such time (in the case of Protective Advances to the European Borrowers) (y) 10% of the French Revolving Commitments at such time (in the case of Protective Advances to the French Borrower) or (z) in any event, 10% of the Revolving Commitments at such time; provided further that (A) the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances to the European Borrowers plus the Aggregate European Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the European Borrowing Limits, and (B) the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances to the French Borrowers plus the Aggregate French Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the French Borrowing Limits. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s authorisation to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders, the European Required Lenders (for Protective Advances to the European Borrowers) or the French Required Lenders (for Protective Advances to the French Borrower). Any such revocation

must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Aggregate Availability, the Borrowing Limits would be satisfied and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders (under the relevant Facility depending on the Borrower to which the Protective Advance has been made) to make a Revolving Loan in the relevant currency to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.4(b). Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in its discretion during a Cash Dominion Period or at any time at which it considers that the Collateral of the French Borrower may be at risk require the French Borrower to whom a Protective Advance has been made to pay all outstanding amounts payable to any or all of its RoT Suppliers directly out of the proceeds of any Protective Advance.

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), (i) each European Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in any Protective Advance to a European Borrower in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the European Facility and (ii) each French Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in any Protective Advance to a French Borrower in proportion to the Applicable Percentage of the French Facility. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

2.5. Swingline Loans

(a) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders agree that promptly (and in any event by the time specified below) after the Administrative Borrower requests a Swingline Loan, the relevant Swingline Lender shall advance on behalf of the European Lenders in relation to a Swingline Loan requested by or on behalf of a European Borrower and on behalf of the French Lenders in relation to a Borrowing requested by or on behalf of the French Borrower and in the amount requested, to the relevant Borrower(s), on the date of the applicable Borrowing to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by a Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.5(c). Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars, Sterling , Euro and Swiss Francs will be made on the same Business Day as the request for the Borrowing (if such request is received before 11:00 a.m. (London time)) and on the following Business Day if not. Swingline Loans denominated in Danish Krone, Norwegian Krone, Swedish Krona will be made on the subsequent Business Day as the request for the Borrowing (if such request is received before 11:00 a.m. (London time)) and on the second Business Day following such request if not. Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other IBOR Loans funded by the Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the relevant Swingline Lender solely for its own account and that interest shall be calculated by reference to the Overnight IBO Rate. Subject to paragraph (d), the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed €20,000,000. The Swingline Lenders shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan results in:

(i) in the case of the European Borrowers, (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans to European Borrowers exceeding €20,000,000, or (B) the European Borrowing Limits being exceeded; and

(ii) in the case of the French Borrower, (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans to the French Borrower exceeding €10,000,000, or (B) the French Borrowing Limits being exceeded.

(b) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), (i) each European Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the relevant Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan made to any European Borrower in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the European Revolving Commitment and (ii) and each French Lender shall be deemed without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the relevant Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan made to any French Borrower in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the French Revolving Commitment. The Swingline Lenders may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent under the relevant Facility in respect of such Loan.

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the European Lenders or French Lenders (as the case may be) on a weekly basis (or such other frequency as the Administrative Agent may select) or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the European Lenders in respect of any Swingline Loan made to the European Borrowers and the French Lenders in respect of any Swingline Loan made to the French Borrower of such requested Settlement by facsimile or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon London time three Business Days prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each European Lender or French Lender (as the case may be) (other than the relevant Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such European Lender’s or French Lender’s (as the case may be) Applicable Percentage of the relevant Facility of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., London time, on such Settlement Date. The resulting Loan shall be an IBOR Loan with an interest period of one week. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the relevant Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans in relation to which such request was made and, together with relevant Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders under the relevant Facility, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the relevant Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, as specified in Section 2.7.

(d) For the first drawing under the Facilities by way of Swingline Loan on the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loan that may be drawn shall not exceed €60,000,000 in total, with €20,000,000 available to be drawn by the European Borrowers and €40,000,000 available to be drawn by the French Borrower (the “First Swingline Loan”). The First

Swingline Loan shall be repaid by the proceeds of an IBOR Loan. The Borrowers shall submit a Drawing Request to refinance the First Swingline Loan with 2 Business Days of the Closing Date, so that the First Swingline Loan is refinanced by the proceeds of an IBOR Loan within 5 Business Days of the Closing Date.

2.6. Letters of Credit

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of another Borrower as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, to be denominated in any Approved Currency and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period for the benefit of:

(i) any European Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in the European Borrowing Limits being exceeded; or

(ii) the French Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in the French Borrowing Limits being exceeded.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the support of any Subsidiary’s obligations as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, such Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 3.3 to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (such Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit).

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), other than in respect of any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision in which case the provisions of paragraph (c) will apply, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver by hand or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer) to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent (prior to 9:00 am, London time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the Borrower for whose benefit the Letter of Credit will be issued, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. No such notice may be delivered to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent until the relevant Letter of Credit is in a form agreed between the Administrative Borrower and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer. If requested by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal

or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed €50,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or other currencies), (ii) the LC Exposure with respect to the European Borrowers shall not exceed €40,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or other currencies), (iii) the LC Exposure with respect to the French Borrower shall not exceed €10,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or other currencies) and (iv) the European Borrowing Limits or the French Borrowing Limits (as applicable) will not be exceeded.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, including, without limitation, any automatic renewal provision, one year after such renewal or extension) or such longer period as may be expressly agreed in writing by the relevant letter of Credit Issuer and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision, each applicable Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal, unless any such Lender shall have provided to the applicable Administrative Agent written notice that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at least thirty days prior to the date on which the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to decline to extend or renew such Letter of Credit. If all of the requirements of this Section 2.6 are met and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall decline to consent to any such extension or renewal. For the avoidance of doubt, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall decline any such extension or renewal if, at the time of such extension or renewal, the requirements of this Section 2.6 (including compliance with the Borrowing Limits at such time) have not been met and/or a Default or Event of Default is continuing. If the “evergreen” or other automatic renewal provisions of any Letter of Credit permit the expiry date or next renewal date of that Letter of Credit to extend beyond the Maturity Date, the Obligors shall fully cash collateralize such letter of Credit on terms satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer(s) by or on the date being 5 Business Days before the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) for the benefit of (i) a European Borrower and without any further action on the part of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer hereby grants to each European Lender, and each European Lender hereby acquires from the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such European Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) a French Borrower and without any further action on the part of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer hereby grants to each French Lender, and each French Lender hereby acquires from the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such French Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each European Lender or French Lender (as applicable) hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer and not reimbursed by the European Borrowers or French Borrower (as applicable) on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the relevant Borrowers for any reason. Each European Lender and each French Lender (as applicable) acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Letter of Credit Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the same currency as that LC Disbursement (i) not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Administrative Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., London time, on such date, or, (ii) if such notice has not been received by the Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, on (A) the Business Day that the Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., London time, on the day of receipt, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is greater than or equal to €500,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or currencies), the relevant Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Sections 2.3 or 2.5 that such payment be financed with a Swingline Loan under the relevant Facility in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the relevant Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Swingline Loan. If the relevant Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the relevant Facility of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the relevant Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender under the relevant Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender under the relevant Facility (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer the amounts so received by it from the relevant Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or, to the extent that relevant Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, then to such Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse a Letter of Credit Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan but shall constitute Secured Obligations and shall not relieve the relevant Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The applicable Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) any payment by a Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from

causes beyond the control of any Letter of Credit Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Letter of Credit Issuer from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by any Letter of Credit Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Letter of Credit Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower in writing of such demand for payment and whether a Letter of Credit Issuer has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If a Letter of Credit Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to IBOR Loans and such interest shall be payable on the date when such reimbursement is due; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.8(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer. A Letter of Credit Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor Letter of Credit Issuer. Any replacement Letter of Credit Issuer must be a French Qualifying Letter of Credit Issuer in relation to Letters of Credit issued to or on behalf of the French Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Letter of Credit Issuer, or to such successor and all previous Letter of Credit Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Administrative Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 100% of the amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in Sections 10.5 or 10.6. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and the Borrowers shall grant the Collateral Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account under the Security Documents. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent.

(k) Letter of Credit Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent, but at least on a monthly basis) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Letter of Credit Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Letter of Credit Issuer makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Letter of Credit Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(l) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.

(m) Post Closing Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, no Letter of Credit may be requested by (or on behalf of) or issued to or for the benefit of any Post Closing Borrower until such time as that Post Closing Borrower has satisfied the conditions set out in Section 5.2.

2.7. Funding of Borrowings

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., London time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Facility; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.5. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Administrative Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account; provided that Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.6(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the relevant IBOR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

2.8. Interest.

(a) Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the IBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Overnight IBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan (including, without limitation, any Protective Advance) or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to IBOR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) Accrued interest on each (A) Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, upon termination of the Commitments and upon the Maturity Date, and (B) Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day following the end of each month, upon termination of the Commitments and upon the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed in respect of sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable IBO Rate or Overnight IBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) The interest rates provided for in this Agreement, including this Section 2.8, are minimum interest rates. When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in Section 2.8 or in other Sections of this Agreement, if any, is not and will not become subject to the Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding that the parties do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to the Swiss Withholding Tax, they agree that, in the event that the Swiss Withholding Tax should be imposed on interest payments, the payment of interest due by any Swiss Borrower shall, in line with and subject to Section 4.5, including the limitations therein, be increased to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-Refundable Portion (as defined below) of the Swiss Withholding Tax) results in a payment to each Lender entitled to such payment of an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax been required. For this purpose, the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be calculated on the full grossed-up interest amount. For the purposes of this Section 2.8, “Non-Refundable Portion” shall mean Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (being, as at the date hereof, 35 per cent) unless a tax ruling issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (SFTA) confirms that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the Non-Refundable Portion is a specified lower rate in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such Lender. Each Swiss Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent the documents required by law or applicable double taxation treaties for the Lenders to claim a refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.

2.9. Interest Elections

(a) Each Revolving Loan initially shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Administrative Borrower may elect to continue such Borrowing and may elect Interest Periods therefor, as provided in this Section. The Administrative Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which may not be continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing. Each such written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Administrative Borrower.

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

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

(iii) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests an IBOR Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Administrative Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to an IBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as an IBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Administrative Borrower, then, so long as a Default is continuing such outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be continued as an IBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

2.10. Alternate Rate of Interest If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for an IBOR Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (acting reasonably) (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining, (including, without limitation, by means of, firstly, an Interpolated Rate) the IBO Rate for such Interest Period and the relevant Approved Currency; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the European Required Lenders with respect to the European Facility or the French Required Lenders with regard to the French Facility that the IBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders by electronic communication as provided in Section 12.2 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of each relevant Loan for the Interest Period commencing after the receipt of such notice shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of the Applicable Margin and the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable and in any event by close of business on the date falling three Business Days prior to the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to each such Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

In the event that, in connection with the initial Borrowing of an IBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Administrative Borrower of the occurrence of any of the events set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Administrative Borrower may cancel any pending Borrowing Request in relation to any affected Loan, provided always, that, in the event of such cancellation, the Obligors shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and relevant Lenders for any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in preparing to make the Borrowing available (including, without limitation, any break costs referred to in Section 2.15(b))

2.11. Payments Generally, Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Credit Parties shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 4.5, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., London time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds in the same currency as the underlying obligation, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx X00 0XX except payments to be made directly to a Letter of Credit Issuer or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 4.5 and 12.5 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Credit Documents, (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.3(b)) or (C) amounts to be applied from any Collection Account or Concentration Account when a Cash Dominion Period is in effect (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.2(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers from the Credit Parties (other than in connection with any Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Credit Parties (other than in connection with any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreements), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances), unreimbursed LC Disbursements, amounts

under the Treasury Bank Overdraft Facility and amounts under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements (but only to the extent that Reserves have been established against such Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreements) ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred (100%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreements up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.18 (other than amounts in relation to the Treasury Bank Overdraft Facility, Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements that are paid in sixth position above), and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or any other Secured Party by the Credit Parties provided that any amounts received on account of Collateral of any French Borrower shall be applied in the order provided above first to the French Obligations, and second to the extent of any surplus after the full repayment of the French Obligations, to the Obligations (other than French Obligations) subject to any guarantee limitations affecting the French Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Credit Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Credit Party. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements and fees payable under the Credit Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 or, if such amounts are past due, a deemed request as provided in this Section. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorise the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing (which shall be a Swingline Loan) for the purpose of paying each such payment of principal, interest and fees following the date on which it becomes due hereunder or under the Credit Documents and agrees that all such amounts shall constitute Swingline Loans and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5, as applicable, provided always that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Administrative Borrower with two days’ prior written notice of its intention to make a Borrowing under this paragraph.

(d) If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon under either Facility than the proportion received by any other similarly situated Lender under that Facility, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of the relevant Facility; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuers with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder. Application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in any order determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

(g) The Administrative Agent may from time to time provide the Borrowers with billing statements or invoices with respect to any of the Secured Obligations (the “Billing Statements”). The Administrative Agent is under no duty or obligation to provide Billing Statements, which, if provided, will be solely for the Borrowers’ convenience. The Billing Statements may contain estimates of the amounts owed during the relevant billing period, whether of principal, interest, fees or other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers pay the full amount indicated on a Billing Statement on or before the due date indicated on such Billing Statement, the Borrowers shall not be in default; provided, that acceptance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of any payment that is less than the payment due at that time shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to receive payment in full at another time.

2.12. Increase of Maximum Amount.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date and up to the Maturity Date, provided that (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) the Commitment Increase (as defined below) would be permitted under the terms of any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) of the Borrowers or the Borrower Subsidiaries with a principal amount outstanding in excess of €75,000,000, the Borrowers may request one or more increases in the Revolving Commitments (each such commitment increase, a “Commitment Increase”) by notifying the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender) of the amount of the proposed Commitment Increase. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, no Commitment Increase shall require the approval of any Lender other than any Lender (if any) providing all or part of the Commitment Increase, no Lender shall be required to provide all or part of any Commitment Increase unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion, no Commitment Increase shall be in an amount less than €10,000,000, and the aggregate amount of all Commitment Increases shall not exceed €50,000,000.

(b) Any Commitment Increase shall be offered by the applicable Borrower(s) to the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares on the date that the Commitment Increase is requested. Each such Lender shall have 10 Business Days to respond to any request for a Commitment Increase (by notice to the applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent) and may elect but shall not be obligated to accept all, a portion or none of their respective Pro Rata Shares of the proposed Commitment Increase. Any such Lender which fails to respond to a request for a Commitment Increase by the end of such 10 Business Day period will be deemed to have declined the request for its Pro Rata Share of the requested Commitment Increase. If any portion of a requested Commitment Increase is not provided by the Revolving Lenders, then the applicable Borrower(s) may offer any such portion to the Lenders who have accepted such Commitment Increase and/or request that one or more financial institutions (acceptable to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably after consultation with the Administrative Borrower) provide such Commitment Increase. In any such case, each Person providing a portion of the requested Commitment Increase shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and Borrower(s) all such documentation as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence such Commitment Increase.

(c) If any requested Commitment Increase is agreed to in accordance with this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s) shall determine the Closing Date of such Commitment Increase (the “Commitment Increase Closing Date”). The Administrative Agent, with the consent and approval of the applicable Borrower(s), shall promptly confirm in writing to the Lenders the final allocation of such Commitment Increase and the Commitment Increase Closing Date. On the Commitment Increase Closing Date: (i) each Person added as a new Lender pursuant to a Commitment Increase (a “New Lender”) shall become a Revolving Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents pursuant to a Joinder Agreement with a Revolving Commitment as set forth therein; (ii) the Revolving Commitment of each existing Revolving Lender that increases its Revolving Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase (an “Increasing Lender”) shall be increased; (iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay (which may be funded with the Revolving Loans made under the Commitment Increase) the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders other than the New Lenders in an amount sufficient (as determined by the Administrative Agent) to permit the New Lenders and the Increasing Lenders to fund Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the New Lenders’ and the Increasing Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of the then outstanding Revolving Loans and in connection with such payment shall also pay funding losses, if any, on such repayment in accordance with Section 4.5; (iv) each New Lender shall fund Revolving Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the then outstanding Revolving Loans; and (v) each Increasing Lender shall fund Revolving Loans in an amount necessary such that, after giving effect to such funding, it shall have funded its Pro Rata Share of the entire amount of the then outstanding Revolving Loans. Any New Lender shall be required to have a Revolving Commitment of not less than €5,000,000. The increase of the Total Revolving Commitments in accordance with this Section 2.12 shall not require any further consent under Section 11 hereof, and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s) and the Revolving Lenders may execute any amendments to give effect to the terms of this Section 2.12 if deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent.

(d) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such Commitment Increase, the applicable Borrower(s) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a director, dated as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date, certifying that as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

2.13. Extensions of Revolving Commitments

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders with Revolving Commitments of the same Class, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension” and any Extended Revolving Commitments (as defined below) shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Class of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Class of Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates, (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Revolving Commitments in respect of which Revolving Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments of such Class offered to be extended by the Borrowers pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Revolving Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing and (vii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.3 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Revolving Commitments of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.13 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.13.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of any Class of Revolving Commitments, the consent of any Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lenders shall be required if such Person is acting as a Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender under the Extended Revolving Commitments. All Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations of the applicable Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Lenders hereby

irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Revolving Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.13.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension and anything required in relation to the Collateral Documents), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.13.

(e) Notwithstanding the above, if an Extension Offer is made and any Lender agrees to become an Extending Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may choose not to continue in such roles for the Extending Revolving Lender(s) and resign their roles in accordance with Sections 11.11 and 11.30 respectively. If either of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent gives the Administrative Borrower or any of the Lenders notice of its intention to resign its role following the making of an Extension Offer, the Extension shall not complete until such time as a new Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent have been appointed in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement.

2.14. Increased Costs

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the IBO Rate) or any Letter of Credit Issuer;

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer or the relevant interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) amounts attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor or (B) Taxes compensated for by Section 4.5 or (C) Taxes that would have been compensated for by Section 4.5 but were not so compensated because an exclusion set out therein applied or (D) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

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

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Obligors shall pay such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Obligors shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.15. Break Funding Payments

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any IBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.3), (b) the failure to borrow, continue or prepay any IBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 4.1(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (c) the assignment of any IBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Obligors shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a IBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such IBOR Loan had such event not occurred, at the IBO Rate that would have been applicable to such IBOR Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such IBOR Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal

amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Euro deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the relevant interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Obligors shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

2.16. Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Obligors are required to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Tax Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.5, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 4.5, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Obligors hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Obligors are required to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Tax Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 4.5, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Obligors may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.6), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 4.5) and obligations under this Agreement and other Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Obligors shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and in circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 12.6, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Swingline Lenders), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligors (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Obligors to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(i) a Lender novates, assigns or otherwise transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Credit Documents or changes its lending office (each a “Transfer”); and

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the Transfer occurs, a Credit Party would be obliged to make a payment to the Lender receiving such Transfer or Lender acting through a new lending office (in either case the “New Lender”), under Section 2.14 or Section 4.5,

then the New Lender is only entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the Lender novating, assigning or otherwise transferring any of its rights or obligations or the Lender acting through its previous lending office would have been if the Transfer had not occurred, provided that this Section 2.16(c) shall not apply in respect of any Transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of any Facility, or where a Credit Party fails, where relevant, to submit a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of a Lender following receipt of a notification (including under of the Commitment Schedule) of that Lender’s HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of Tax residence.

Notwithstanding the above, no Transfer may be effected to a New Lender incorporated, or acting through a registered office situated, in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction without the prior consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Lenders party hereto hereby acknowledge and agree to the terms of the loss sharing agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders parties thereto (the “Loss Sharing Agreement”), which Loss Sharing Agreement shall be binding upon each Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16(c), Section 12.6 or otherwise and such Lender shall be a party and subject to such Loss Sharing Agreement as if an original signatory thereto.

2.17. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3;

(b) such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 12.1) and the Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, European Required Lenders or French Required Lenders (as applicable) have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 12.1) or under any other Credit Document; provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under the same Facility or Facilities in which the Defaulting Lender was participating in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages under the relevant Facility but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Administrative Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) and (y) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments in respect of the relevant Facility. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of an Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuers or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees and commitment fees payable under this Agreement with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Letter of Credit Issuers until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuers shall not be required to issue, amend, renew, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non Defaulting Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Letter of Credit Issuers shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Swingline Lenders agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving

Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender, provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender, and, provided further that, except to the extent expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party thereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.18. Banking Services and Hedge Agreements.

Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Bank Products for, or having Hedge Agreements with, any Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements of such Credit Party to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In addition, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining the amounts to be applied in respect of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and/or Secured Hedge Agreements pursuant to Section 2.11(b).

SECTION 3. Fees; Commitments

3.1. Fees. The Credit Parties agree to pay, or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent and other Agents any fees in the amounts previously agreed to in writing by any one or more of the Credit Parties in connection with this Agreement.

3.2. Unused Line Fee. On the first Business Day of each of April, July, October and January and on the Termination Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders under each Facility, in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under the relevant Facility, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) in arrears equal to the Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin per annum for the relevant Facility times the average daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Commitments relating to that Facility exceeded the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations under that Facility (which shall exclude, for the purposes of this Section 3.2 only, the principal amount of all Swingline Loans and Protective Advances). The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable in Euros. All principal payments received by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be credited to the Borrowers’ loan account immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Section 3.2.

3.3. Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay (x) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender for each Letter of Credit, a fee in the Approved Currency in which such Letter of Credit is issued (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time with respect to IBOR Loans that are Revolving Loans on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the daily undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit from time to time and (y) to the Letter of Credit Issuers, all out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred or charged by the Letter of Credit Issuers in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance or extension of, drawing under, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee

payable by the Borrowers with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January following the date on which such Letter of Credit is issued and on the Termination Date. The amounts due under sub-paragraph (y) above shall be payable upon issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit or other relevant event which triggered such cost, fee or expense. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

3.4. Miscellaneous payment provisions.

(a) All fees payable hereunder or under any separate fees letter shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(b) The Administrative Borrower may pay the fees set out in this Section 3 for and on behalf of the Borrower and/or the Credit Parties (as applicable).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement, no Letter of Credit Fee or Unused Line Fee shall accrue or be payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender during any period it is a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 4. Payments and Commitments

4.1. Termination of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated (and subject to any extension effected pursuant to Section 2.13), all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuers) in an amount equal to 100% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(c) The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination of the Commitments shall be permanent.

4.2. Repayment of Loans.

(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Borrower on the Maturity Date and, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance of such Borrower on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent.

(b) At all times during a Cash Dominion Period, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to any Collection Account or Concentration Account of a Borrower on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding in respect of the relevant Borrower and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure in respect of the relevant Borrower. All amounts so applied shall be applied first against Protective Advances, Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and as cash collateralised letters of credit denominated in the same currencies as the amounts withdrawn from the Collection Accounts. In the event and to the extent that any amounts remain unapplied as a result of a mismatch between the currencies of the amounts in the Collections Accounts or Concentration Accounts and the currencies in which the outstanding Protective Advances, Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans are denominated, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested the Administrative Agent to convert at the Spot Rate any such excess funds to the currency or currencies of the outstanding Protective Advances, Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and apply such converted amounts to such outstanding Protective Advances, Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans.

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

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

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

4.3. Voluntary Prepayment, Mandatory Prepayment, Reduction or Termination.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section and, if applicable, payment of any break funding expenses under Section 2.15.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that any European Borrowing Limits are exceeded and/or any of the French Borrowing Limits are exceeded, the Borrowers shall prepay the relevant Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(j), as applicable, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the relevant Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, in the case of a prepayment of all or part of an IBOR Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 4.1, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 4.1. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.8 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.15.

(d) In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 4.3 in respect of any IBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Borrower(s) at its or their option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount in the applicable currency equal to the amount of the IBOR Loan to be prepaid and such IBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a non-interest bearing deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the IBOR Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the applicable Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 4.3.

(e) If any amount payable to a Lender by the French Borrower under a Credit Document is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for the French Borrower by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a registered office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, the French Borrower may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the non-deductibility for French tax purposes continues, give the Administrative Agent notice of cancellation of the French Revolving Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lender’s participation in the Loans under the French Facility.

4.4. Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the applicable Credit Party, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto in the case of the payments under the Revolving Facility, not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time), on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the applicable Credit Party. All repayments or prepayments of any Revolving Loans,

Swingline Loans and Protective Advances (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in the currency in which such Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances are denominated and all other payments under each Credit Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document, be made in Euro. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (London time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or other amounts ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(c) With respect to any payments to be made by the French Borrower under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall specify the account to which such payments shall be made, it being noted that such account shall not be opened in a financial institution located in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

4.5. Withholding of Taxes: Gross-Up.

(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Credit Party, then the applicable Credit Party shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.5(a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Credit Parties shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, jointly and severally indemnify each of the Secured Parties against any cost, liability or loss incurred by the relevant Secured Party in relation to all Other Taxes, save for any Other Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment or transfer of a Secured Party’s rights under a Credit Document (other than an assignment or transfer of rights pursuant to Sections 2.16 or 12.7) or to the extent that such Other Taxes becomes payable upon a voluntary registration made by the Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent or any Lender if such registration is not necessary to evidence, prove, maintain, enforce, compel or otherwise assert the rights of such party or obligations of any party under the Credit Document

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Tax Authority pursuant to this Section 4.5, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Tax Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent provided that such evidence shall only be provided by the Credit Party to the Administrative Agent to the extent that such evidence exists and is not prohibited from being provided to the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (other than Other Taxes) (including Indemnified Taxes (other than Other Taxes) imposed on or attributable to an amount payable under this Section 4.5), other than Indemnified Taxes already compensated for under Section 4.5 of this Agreement, where such Indemnified Taxes are payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, together with any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Tax Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Credit Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Tax Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorises the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders

(i) A Lender and each Credit Party that is required to make a payment to which that Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Credit Party to obtain authorisation to make payment without a Tax Deduction, provided that where a Lender has (where relevant) confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of Tax residence in the Commitment Schedule or otherwise provided notification of the same to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, it shall be under no further obligation pursuant to this paragraph (except where a Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs or where HM Revenue & Customs has not given authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing and, in each case, the Administrative Borrower has notified the relevant Lender and the Administrative Agent in writing).

(ii) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, provided that where a Lender has (where relevant) confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of Tax residence in the Commitment Schedule or otherwise provided notification of the same to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, it shall be under no further obligation pursuant to this paragraph (except where a

Xxxxxxxx XXXX Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs or where HM Revenue & Customs has not given authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing and, in each case, the Administrative Borrower has notified the relevant Lender and the Administrative Agent in writing). In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Credit Parties or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(iii) If a Lender has confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of Tax residence, the relevant Credit Parties shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender within 30 days of the date of such confirmation.

(iv) Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall state in writing to the Administrative Agent at the time it becomes a Party to this Agreement whether it is (A) not a Qualifying Lender, (B) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender) or (C) a Treaty Lender. If a New Lender fails to notify its status in accordance with this Section 4.5(f)(iv) then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Credit Party) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent in writing which of (A), (B) or (C) applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the relevant Credit Party). Such New Lender shall also specify in writing to the Administrative Agent at the time it becomes a Party to this Agreement, whether it is incorporated or acting through a registered office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, failure of a New Lender to comply with this paragraph (iv) will not invalidate the Transfer, within the meaning attached to this term in Section 2.16.

(v) If a Lender becomes aware that it is not or ceases to be a Qualifying Lender it shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall as soon as it reasonably practicable notify the relevant Credit Party.

(vi) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in the Commitment Schedule or otherwise provided notification of the same to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Borrower, no Credit Party shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees. Each relevant Credit Party shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(vii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly (but in any event within ten days after demand therefor) notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion that it has received a refund of or a tax credit (which such party utilised) attributable to any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Agreement (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or tax credit (but only

to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Tax Authority with respect to such refund or tax credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Tax Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund or tax credit to such Tax Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or tax credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or tax credit had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) VAT

(i) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Credit Document by a Credit Party to a Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph 4.5(h)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by a Secured Party to a Credit Party under a Credit Document and that Secured Party is required to account to the relevant Tax Authority for the VAT, that Credit Party must pay to such Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Credit Party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by a Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Secured Party (the “Recipient”) under a Credit Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Credit Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

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

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

(iii) Where a Credit Document requires a Credit Party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, that Credit Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant Tax Authority.

(iv) Any reference in Sections 4.5(h) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union)).

(v) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to a Credit Party under a Credit Document, if reasonably requested by such Secured Party, that Credit Party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that Credit Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(i) FATCA information.

(i) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(A) confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(1) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(2) not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(B) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA.

(ii) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Section 4.5(i)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(iii) Paragraph (i) above shall not oblige any Secured Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(A) any law or regulation;

(B) any fiduciary duty; or

(iv) If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (i) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (iii) above applies), then:

(A) if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Credit Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(B) if that Party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Credit Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is 100%,

until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(v) FATCA Deduction.

(i) Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(ii) Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender.

(j) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.5, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(k) Swiss Qualifying Bank. Each Lender under a Swiss Loan confirms that it is a Swiss Qualifying Bank or, if not, a single Person only for the purpose of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules and any other Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 12.6 shall be deemed to have confirmed that it is a Swiss Qualifying Bank or, if not, a single Person only for the purpose of Swiss Non-Bank Rules.

(l) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

4.6. Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If any Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 4.6(a), such Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by such Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.14.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from any Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to such Borrower.

4.7. Returned Payments.

If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion), then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Obligors will, and will cause each of the Borrower Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain in full force and effect, pursuant to self-insurance arrangements or with insurance companies that are financially sound at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business; and will furnish to the Lenders, upon reasonable written request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried; and ensure that at all times the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be named as additional insureds with respect to liability policies maintained by any Obligor, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be named as loss payee with respect to the property insurance covering Inventory that constitutes Collateral maintained by any Obligor; provided that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall turn over to the Obligors any amounts received by it as loss payee under any property insurance maintained by such Obligors it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent is not authorized to receive any such proceeds except during the continuation of any Event of Default, and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees that the applicable Obligor shall have the sole right to adjust or settle any claims under such insurance.

(b) All such insurance shall (i) provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice thereof, and (ii) name the Collateral Agent as mortgagee (in the case of property insurance) or additional insured on behalf of the Secured Parties (in the case of liability insurance) or loss payee (in the case of property insurance), as applicable.

The Obligors will timely pay and discharge, and will cause each of the Borrower Subsidiaries to timely pay and discharge all Taxes imposed upon it, or upon any properties belonging to it, and all lawful claims in respect of any Taxes imposed, assessed or levied that, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to become a Lien upon any properties of the Obligors or any of the Borrower Subsidiaries, provided that neither the Obligors, nor any of the Borrower Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such Tax that is being contested in good faith by the Obligors by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto to the extent required by law and in accordance with GAAP and the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

8.5. Maintenance of Existence. The Credit Parties will do, and will cause each of the Borrower Subsidiaries to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, corporate rights and authority, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Credit Parties and the Borrower Subsidiaries may consummate any transaction permitted under Sections 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5.

8.6. Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, Etc. The Credit Parties will, and will cause each of the Borrower Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to it or its property, including all governmental approvals or authorizations required to conduct its business, and to maintain all such governmental approvals or authorizations in full force and effect, in each case except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.7. Maintenance of Properties. The Obligors will, and will cause each of the Borrower Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain all tangible property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except to the extent that the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect provided, however, that the Obligors and the Borrower Subsidiaries may consummate any transaction permitted under Sections 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5.

8.8. Use of Proceeds

(a) The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit will be used only for refinancing certain existing indebtedness, for general corporate purposes and to finance the working capital needs of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and to fund Permitted Acquisitions and Permitted Investments of the Borrowers and their Affiliates. No part of the proceeds of any Loan and no Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, (i) for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, Regulation U and Regulation X, or (ii) to make any Acquisition other than a Permitted Acquisition. No Secured Party is bound to monitor or verify the application of any amount borrowed pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) No Borrower will request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and no Borrower shall use, and each Credit Party shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

111

(c) In its discretion during a Cash Dominion Period or at any time at which it considers (acting reasonably) that the Collateral of the French Borrower may be at risk, the Administrative Agent may request that the proceeds of the French Loans shall be used by the French Borrower to pay all outstanding amounts (if any) payable at the time of such French Loan to all RoT Suppliers. Following such payment, the French Borrower will use the remaining proceeds of French Loans in accordance with (a) above

8.9. Further Assurances.

(a) The Obligors will execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents, the execution of dailly assignments in respect of French Accounts which are no longer subject to extendible retention of title) that may be reasonably required under any applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the applicable Security Documents, all at the reasonable expense of such Obligor and the Borrower Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no Obligor shall be under any obligation to enter into any such document, financing statement, agreement or instrument, or take any such action in respect of Excluded Perfection Assets and provided further that notwithstanding any other term of the Credit Documents, no Obligor shall be required to provide any Collateral or enter into any Security Document to that extent that to do so (a) is prohibited by any applicable law or (b) would result in material adverse tax consequences, or (c) that would result in the incurrence of fees, costs or expenses (including taxes and filing charges) that are (in the opinion of the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably)) disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the provision of such Collateral.

(b) Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents, if any assets (including any real estate or improvements thereto or any ownership (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, leasehold) interest therein but excluding Stock and Stock Equivalents of any Subsidiary) with a book value in excess of €5,000,000 are acquired by any Obligor after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under a Security Document that become subject to the perfected Lien of the applicable Security Document upon acquisition thereof or assets constituting Excluded Assets or Excluded Perfection Assets) that are of a nature secured by a Security Document and intended to be Collateral, the Obligors will notify the Collateral Agent, and, if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, the Obligors will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the applicable Obligations and will take such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to grant and perfect such Liens consistent with the applicable requirements of the Security Documents, including actions described in clause (a) of this Section 8.9 and subject to the provisos in Section 8.9.

8.10. End of Fiscal Years; Fiscal Quarters. Each Obligor will, for financial reporting purposes, cause (a) the Parent’s, and each of its and its Subsidiaries’, fiscal years to end on December 31 of each year and (b) the Parent’s, and each of its and its Subsidiaries’, fiscal quarters to end on dates consistent with such fiscal year end and past practice.

8.11. Payment of Obligations. Each Obligor will, and will cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, pay or discharge all Taxes, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such Obligor or Borrower Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (c) such liabilities would not result in aggregate liabilities in excess of €25,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or other currencies) and none of the Collateral would become subject to forfeiture or loss as a result of the contest; provided, however, that each Credit Party will, and will cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, remit withholding taxes and other payroll taxes to appropriate Governmental Authorities as and when claimed to be due, notwithstanding the foregoing exceptions.

112

8.12. Compliance with Laws and Material Contractual Obligations. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each Borrower Subsidiary to, (i) comply with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property (including without limitation Environmental Laws) and (ii) perform in all material respects its obligations under material agreements to which it is a party except where, in each case, failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by each Credit Party and each Borrower Subsidiary and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions.

8.13. Pension Plans. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, each Obligor will, and will cause each of the Borrower Subsidiaries to, ensure that (i) all employer and employee contributions (including insurance premiums) required from any Obligor or any of its Affiliates by applicable law or by the terms of any Pension Plan (including any policy held thereunder) are made, (ii) each Pension Plan that is required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, and (iii) each Pension Plan is in compliance (A) with all material provisions of applicable law and all material applicable regulations and regulatory requirements (whether discretionary or otherwise) with respect to such Pension Plan and (B) with the terms of such Pension Plan.

8.14. Transfer of Accounts.

(a) At any time during a Cash Dominion Period, at the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Obligors shall, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent either (i) promptly cause all of their Collection Accounts (each an “Existing Collection Account”) to be transferred to the name of the Administrative Agent or (ii) promptly open new Collection Accounts in London with (and, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, in the name of) the Administrative Agent (such new bank accounts being Collection Accounts under and for the purposes of this Agreement), and (b) if new Collection Accounts have been established pursuant to this Section (each a “New Collection Account”), ensure that all cash, cheques or other similar payments relating to or constituting payments made in respect of Accounts owing to them will promptly be re-directed to the New Collection Accounts. Until all collections have been redirected to the New Collection Accounts, each Obligor shall cause all amounts on deposit in any Existing Collection Account to be transferred to a New Collection Account at the end of each Business Day, provided that if any such Obligor does not instruct such re-direction or transfer, each of them hereby authorises the Administrative Agent to give such instructions on their behalf to the applicable Account Debtors and/or the account bank holding such Existing Collection Account (as applicable).

(b) At any time during a Cash Dominion Period, at the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, each Obligor agrees that if any of its Account Debtors have not previously received notice of the security interest of the Administrative Agent over its Accounts, it shall promptly give notice to such Account Debtors and if any such Obligor does not serve such notice, each of them hereby authorises the Administrative Agent to serve such notice on their behalf.

113

8.15. Cash Management.

(a) Each Day One Borrower and each Post Closing Borrower that has satisfied the conditions set out in Section 5.2 will ensure that all cash, cheques or other similar payments relating to or constituting payments made in respect of Accounts owing to such Borrower are promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) deposited (whether directly or indirectly) into Collection Accounts or Floating Charge Accounts, in a manner that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Until so deposited, all such payments shall be held on trust by each Borrower for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of any Borrower.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Period, the bank at which any Collection Account or Concentration Account are maintained shall, upon receipt of notice by the Collateral Agent of such Cash Dominion Period, commence the process of daily sweeps from such accounts into an account designated for the purposes by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be given sufficient access to the Collection Accounts and the Concentration Accounts to ensure that the Administrative Agent shall be able to apply funds credited to any Collection Account or Concentration Account in its sole discretion during a Cash Dominion Period pursuant to Section 4.2(b) hereof.

(c) Each Day One Borrower and each Post Closing Borrower that has satisfied the conditions set out in Section 5.2 shall ensure that each Collection Account and Concentration Account is, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, subject to a Lien and a Deposit Account Control Agreement (or other arrangement (including, but not limited to, a notice and acknowledgment arrangement) with similar effect), which, with respect to any Collection Account and any Concentration Account, shall ensure that such Collection Accounts are blocked and, in the case of any Concentration Account located in England, under the sole control of the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent.

(d) Each Obligor agrees, with respect to the Collection Accounts that are part of the European Cash Management Arrangements, (i) not to request the termination of the real time zero balancing arrangements, (ii) not to amend the real time nature of the zero balancing sweep (which, for the avoidance of doubt requires the immediate sweeping of amounts received to the Concentration Account) and (iii) not to request the withdrawal of moneys from the Collection Accounts which are part of the European Cash Management Arrangements.

(e) In the event that zero balancing arrangements which are part of the European Cash Management Arrangements are amended (in any material respect) or terminated by the relevant account bank (or the account bank sends an Obligor a notice that it intends to cancel the zero balancing arrangements), the Obligors shall promptly inform the Administrative Agent and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, shall promptly enter into such Deposit Account Control Agreements with respect to the bank account(s) affected by the termination of the zero balancing arrangements as the Administrative Agent may request.

(f) Notwithstanding paragraphs (d) and (e) above, in the event that the European Cash Management Arrangements are moved to a different account bank, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will work together with the Administrative Borrower to agree to the putting in place of arrangements which have equivalent effect and protections for the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders as the then current European Cash Management Arrangements (in light of any changed circumstances of the new European Cash Management Arrangements (including, without limitation, whether or not such arrangements are subject to automatic zero balancing)).

8.16. French Accounts. The French Borrower shall ensure that (i) a copy of, or reference to, the French Borrower’s standard terms and conditions of purchase is attached to or included on (as applicable) each purchase order or equivalent document with their suppliers, (ii) its standard terms and conditions of purchase at all times contain a condition to the effect that title to the purchased goods transfers to the French Borrower at a time no later than on delivery of the

114

purchased goods to the French Borrower, (iii) its standard terms and conditions of purchase are not amended without the prior consent in writing of the Administrative Agent, and (iv) if the reference on any purchase order or equivalent document is to the standard terms and conditions of purchase as set out on a specified website, the relevant website must be maintained, be up to date and be publicly accessible at all times. During any Cash Dominion Period or at any other time at which the Administrative Agent considers that the Collateral of the French Borrower may be at risk, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the French Borrower must send a copy of its standard terms and conditions of purchase (or other notice satisfactory to the Administrative Agent which rejects retention of title and/or extendible retention of title provisions in relation to the French Borrower’s Inventory) to its suppliers.

8.17. Compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule.

(a) The Swiss Borrower shall be in compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule; provided, however, that no Swiss Borrower shall be in breach of this Section 8.17 if the number of creditors (which are not Swiss Qualifying Banks) is exceeded solely by reason of a breach by one or more Lenders of a confirmation contained in Section 4.5(k) or a failure by one or more Lenders to comply with their obligations and transfer restrictions in Section 12.6.

(b) For the purposes of paragraph (a) above, the Swiss Borrower shall assume that the aggregate number of Lenders under this Agreement which are Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks is five (5).

8.18. Post Closing Borrowers. The Credit Parties shall ensure that the conditions set out in Section 5.2 have been satisfied with respect to each of the Post Closing Borrowers within 90 days of the Closing Date (or such longer time as the Administrative Agent, in its absolute discretion, may determine).

8.19. Post-Closing Requirements.

(a) Within 120 days of the Closing Date, the Obligors shall procure that no proceeds of Accounts owed to them are being paid into Collection Accounts or Floating Charge Accounts (a) held outside of the European Cash Management Arrangements, (b) which are not secured in favour of the Collateral Agent and over which an effective Deposit Account Control Agreement has not been established or (c) which are not segregated from payment and/or other disbursement accounts (such bank accounts being the “Legacy Accounts”). The Obligors shall give whatever instructions are necessary to instruct the relevant Account Debtors to pay the proceeds of the Accounts to the correct Collection Accounts within the European Cash Management Arrangements. Until such time as all proceeds of Accounts are no longer being paid into Legacy Accounts, the Obligors shall procure that any amounts paid into the Legacy Accounts shall be swept on a weekly basis into a Collection Account within the European Cash Management Arrangements over which the Collateral Agent has a security interest and in relation to which an effective Deposit Account Control Agreement is in place.

In the event that any Obligor fails to be in compliance with this Section, the Administrative Agent may require that full security (which shall be fixed charge security for bank accounts located in England) and appropriate Deposit Account Control Agreements are taken over the relevant bank accounts within a timescale satisfactory to it in its absolute discretion.

(b) If, following a change in law in Belgium which would allow a non-possessory form of security to be taken over the Inventory of the Belgian Borrower (which is expected to come into force on or about 1 December 2014), the Administrative Agent requests that the Belgian Borrower grant such a security interest in favour of the Collateral Agent, the Parties shall work together in order to put in place such security in a prompt and efficient manner.

115

(c) At the request of the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, the Company shall grant security over its Inventory located in Spain, pursuant to a security document governed by Spanish law (and shall make any necessary changes to this Agreement to accommodate such security).

(d) Within 10 Business Days of the date of this Agreement, the Belgian Borrower will provide evidence to the Administrative Agent that an extract of the written shareholder resolutions of the Belgian Borrower, approving the change of control provisions in the Credit Agreement, have been filed with the clerk of the relevant Commercial Court, in accordance with Article 556 of the Belgian Companies Code.

(e) Upon the earlier of an Event of Default and a Cash Dominion Event, at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, the Company shall provide a security interest (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) over such of the Inventory of the Company that is located in Sweden pursuant to a security document governed by Swedish law (and shall make any necessary changes to this Agreement to accommodate such security). Such security interest shall be entered into within 30 days of any such request (or 5 days, if an Event of Default is continuing).

SECTION 9. Negative Covenants

Each Obligor hereby covenants and agrees that on the Closing Date and thereafter, until the Loans, together with interest and all other Obligations (other than indemnification and other contingent Obligations in each case not then due and payable) incurred hereunder, are paid in full, all Commitments are terminated and all Letters of Credit are terminated or cash collateralized in an amount equal to their face amount:

(d) Each Secured Party hereby ratifies and approves, and each future Secured Party by becoming a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.6 of this Agreement ratifies and approves, all acts and declarations previously done by the Collateral Agent on such person’s behalf (including for the avoidance of doubt the declarations made by the Collateral Agent as representative without power of attorney (Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht) in relation to the creation of any pledge (Pfandrecht) on behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party as future pledgee or otherwise).

(c) The Collateral Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Credit Documents to be paid by the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Collateral Agent for that purpose.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to insure any of the Collateral or any certificate, note, bond or other evidence in respect of any of them or to require any other person to maintain that insurance and shall not be responsible for any Losses which may be suffered as a result of the lack or inadequacy of that insurance.

12.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Letter of Credit Issuers or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

12.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All amounts payable under this Section 12.5 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by the Administrative Borrower of written demand therefor or may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans as described in Section 2.11 (c). The agreements in this Section 12.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

To the extent that the Credit Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Swingline Lenders under the above paragraph, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Swingline Lenders, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the payment by any Lender of any such amount shall not relieve such Credit Party of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Swingline Lenders in its capacity as such.

153

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this paragraph shall relieve any Credit Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

12.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations, Assignments and Transfers.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 9.3, no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 12.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may at any time assign to one or more assignees and/or transfers by novation to one or more transferees (each, a “Transfer” and the person to whom a Transfer is made, being a “Transferee”) all or a portion of its rights (and, in the case of a transfer by novation, obligations) under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it and other participations in extensions of credit thereunder) with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Administrative Borrower shall have the right to withhold or delay its consent to any Transfer if, in order for such Transfer to comply with applicable law, any Credit Party would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or if additional confirmations would be required in relation to the Security Documents in any jurisdiction) of:

(A) the Administrative Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required for a Transfer to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (unless increased costs including payments under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 4.5 would result therefrom unless an Event of Default under Sections 10.1, 10.5, 10.6, 10.11 or 10.14 has occurred and is continuing), an Approved Fund, any Person not on the Restricted Lender List or, if an

154

Event of Default under Sections 10.1, 10.5, 10.6, 10.11 or 10.14 has occurred and is continuing, any other Transferee; provided further that consent to a Transfer by the Credit Parties shall be deemed to have been given if the Administrative Borrower does not expressly withhold consent thereto within 10 Business Days of a Lender requesting in writing such consent from the Credit Parties; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to (i) Parent, any Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) a natural person.

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

(A) except in the case of a Transfer to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or a Transfer of the entire remaining amount of the Existing Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the Existing Lender subject to each such Transfer (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate with respect to such Transfer is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than €5,000,000, and increments of €1,000,000 in excess thereof or, unless each of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required if a Default or an Event of Default under Sections 10.1, 10.5, 10.6, 10.11 or 10.14 has occurred and is continuing; provided further that contemporaneous Transfers to a single Transferee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum amount requirements stated above;

(B) each partial Transfer shall be made as a Transfer of a proportionate part of all the Existing Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the Transfer of a proportionate part of all the Existing Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each Transfer shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate (as applicable), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of €3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any Transfer;

(D) the Transferee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”);

(E) no Transfer shall be effective unless and until such Transfer is recorded in the Register.

(F) any Transferee of the French Revolving Commitments, French Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans or Protective Advances made to the French Borrower) shall qualify as a French Qualifying Lender and any Transferee of the French LC Exposure or Letters of Credits made to the French Borrower shall qualify as a French Qualifying Letter of Credit Issuer; and

155

(G) the prior written consent of the Swiss Borrower, if the Transferee of a Swiss Loan is a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank (such consent however not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Swiss Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(vi) of this Section 12.6, from and after the date specified in each Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate (as applicable), the Transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and:

(A) (x) to the extent that in Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents, each of the Credit Parties and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Credit Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”), (y) each of the Credit Parties and the Transferee shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Credit Party or other member of the Group and the Transferee have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Credit Party and the Existing Lender and (z) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Transferee, the other Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and Swingline Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Security Documents as they would have acquired and assumed had the Transferee been a Lender from the Closing Date with the rights, and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and any relevant Swingline Lender and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

(B) in the case of a Transfer by way of an Assignment Agreement, (x) the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the Transferee its rights under the Credit Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement, (y) the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the “Relevant Obligations”) expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of the Security Documents), and (z) will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

In each case, the Existing Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 4.5 and 12.5.

(iv) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may utilize procedures other than those set out in this Section 12.6 to assign or transfer their rights under the Credit Documents, in the event that such other procedure is necessary for the purposes of any applicable law relating to the Borrowers, the Credit Documents and, in particular, the Security Documents.

(v) Any Transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 12.6.

156

(vi) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the applicable Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and Participants, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and fees owing to, each Lender and Participant pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(vii) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate executed by an Existing Lender and a Transferee, the Transferee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable “know your customer” or similar requirements under applicable laws (unless the Transferee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 12.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 12.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept and sign such Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c)

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) in the case of a Swiss Loan, each Participant shall be a Swiss Qualifying Bank or, if not, the prior written consent of each Swiss Borrower shall be obtained (such consent, however, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Participant will sign up to an undertaking that restricts such a Participant to transfer or enter into further participations, unless done so in compliance with this Clause; and further provided that no consent of the Swiss Borrower(s) shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 12.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 12.6, the Credit Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 4.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations of those Sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also

157

shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.8(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations of the Section). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Credit Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Revolving Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 4.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent that the entitlement to any greater payment results from any Change in Law after the Participant becomes a Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Credit Parties’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 12.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Credit Parties hereby agree that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after any Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, each Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at such Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, evidencing the Loans owing to such Lender.

(e) Subject to Section 12.16, the Credit Parties authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning a Credit Party and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Credit Party and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Credit Party and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Credit Party and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

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

(g) The benefit of the Liens under the Security Documents and any guarantee shall automatically transfer to any assignee or transferee of part or all of the obligations expressed to be secured by the Liens under the Security Documents. Insofar as necessary, the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and each of the Credit Parties hereby expressly reserve for the purpose of Article 1278 and Article 1281 of the Belgian Civil Code (and, to the extent applicable, any similar provisions of foreign law) the preservation of the Liens and of the Security Documents in case of assignment, novation

158

(schuldvernieuwing/novation), amendment or any other transfer or change of the obligations expressed to be secured by the Liens (including, without limitation, an extension of the term or an increase of the amount of such obligations or the granting of additional credit) or of any change of any of the parties to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.16(c) of this Agreement apply equally to this Section 12.6.

12.7. Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or 4.5 or (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrowers shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 4.5, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6 (provided that the applicable Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers due and payable to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 12.6; provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 12.7 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption and shall be recorded in the Register.

12.8. Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receives any payment of all or part of its Loans in any Facility, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender in that Facility, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon,

159

such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders in the relevant Facility a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders 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 Lenders in the relevant Facility; 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.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Credit Party to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Credit Party hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Credit Party. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Credit Party (and the Administrative Borrower, if other) and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

12.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Administrative Agent.

12.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.11. Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Credit Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

12.12. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of jury trial.

(a) This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

(b) The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a “Dispute”).

160

(c) The Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

(d) This Section 12.12 is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only. As a result, no Secured Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Secured Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(e) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Credit Party (other than a Credit Party incorporated in England and Wales) (i) irrevocably appoints Distrupol Limited as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Credit Document (and Distrupol Limited by its execution of this Agreement, accepts that appointment), and (ii) agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Credit Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Company (on behalf of all the Credit Parties) must immediately (and in any event within 5 days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

(f) To the extent relevant, each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and for any counterclaim therein.

12.13. Acknowledgments. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

(b) (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lender and the other Agents on the other hand, and Parent, the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent and the other Agents, is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for any of the Borrowers, any other Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower or any other Credit Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or other Agent has advised or is currently advising any of the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent or other Agent has any obligation to any of the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor other Agent has any obligation to disclose any of

12.16. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and all applicable amendments thereto (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes, but is not limited to, the name and address of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Each Credit Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Patriot Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Credit Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing offers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Credit Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Credit Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Credit Party or any authorize signatories of the Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Credit Parties or any authorized signatories of the Credit Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Credit Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

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

(c) For the purposes of this Section 12.18, the Collateral Agent (i) is the independent and separate creditor of each Dutch and Belgian Parallel Debt, (ii) acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Secured Parties and its claims in respect of each Dutch and Belgian Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust, and (iii) shall have the independent and separate right to demand payment of each Dutch and Belgian Parallel Debt in its own name (including, without limitation, through any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in any kind of insolvency proceeding).

(d) The Dutch and Belgian Parallel Debt of a Credit Party shall be (i) decreased to the extent that the corresponding Obligations have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (ii) increased to the extent to that its Obligations have increased, and the Obligations of a Credit Party shall be (x) decreased to the extent that its Dutch and Belgian Parallel Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (y) increased to the extent that its Dutch and Belgian Parallel Debt has increased, in each case provided that the Dutch and Belgian Parallel Debt of a Credit Party shall never exceed its Obligations.

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

(f) This Section 12.18 applies for the purpose of determining the secured obligations in any Dutch Collateral Document and/or Belgian Collateral Document.

165

12.19. Parallel Debt – German Law

(a) The German Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by it to any Secured Party under this Agreement and any other Credit Document pursuant to any Secured Obligations as and when those amounts are due under any Credit Document, to which the German Borrower is a party (such payment undertakings under this Section 12.19 and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “German Parallel Debt”).

(b) The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the German Parallel Debt by the German Borrower. The German Borrower and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of the German Borrower under this Section 12.19 are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of the German Borrower to any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (the “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which the German Borrower is liable under this Section 12.19 be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:

(i) the Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations);

(ii) the Corresponding Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged;

(iii) the amount of the Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of the Corresponding Debt; and

(iv) for the avoidance of doubt, the Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time when the Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable.

(c) The security granted under any German Collateral Document with respect to the Parallel Debt is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt.

(d) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the German Borrower (whether under this Agreement or any other Credit Document), each of the German Borrower acknowledges that:

(i) Nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any Credit Party or otherwise under any Credit Document; and

(ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other that those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.

166

(g) All monies received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the German Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) oblige any Secured Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (Tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

SECTION 13. Loan Guaranty.

13.1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally, (a) guarantees to each Secured Party punctual performance by each other Credit Party of all that Credit Party’s obligations under the Credit Documents, (b) undertakes with each Secured Party that whenever another Credit Party does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Credit Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor, and (c) agrees with each Secured Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Secured Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Credit Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Credit Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Section 13.1 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

13.2. Continuing guarantee. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Credit Party under the Credit Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

13.3. Reinstatement. If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Credit Party or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Secured Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Section 13 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

13.4. Waiver of defences. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 13 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Section 13, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Section 13 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Credit Party) including (a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Credit Party or other Person, (b) the release of any other Credit Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Credit Party or Subsidiary, (c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to

167

perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Credit Party or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security, (d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of a Credit Party or any other person, (e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Credit Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Credit Document or other document or security, (f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Credit Document or any other document or security, or (g) any insolvency or similar proceedings.

13.5. Guarantor Intent. Without prejudice to the generality of Section 13, each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Credit Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Credit Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

13.6. Immediate Recourse. Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Section 13. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Credit Document to the contrary.

13.7. Appropriations. Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may (a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same, and (b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Section 13.

13.8. Termination. Each of the Lenders and each Letter of Credit Issuer may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five (5) days after it receives written notice of termination from any Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of such Guaranteed Obligations. Nothing in this Section 13.8 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise impair any rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in respect of, any Default or Event of Default that may exist as a result of any such notice of termination. Nothwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Parent may not terminate or request the termination of its obligations under the Loan Guaranty and no Obligor may terminate or request the termination of its obligations under the Loan Guaranty for so long as it is a Borrower under this Agreement.

168

13.9. Deferral of Guarantor’s Rights. Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Administrative Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Credit Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Section 13, (a) to be indemnified by a Credit Party, (b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Credit Party’s obligations under the Credit Documents, (c) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Credit Documents by any Secured Party, (d) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Credit Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Section 13.1, (e) to exercise any right of set-off against any Credit Party; and/or (f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Credit Party in competition with any Secured Party. If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Secured Parties by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Secured Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent may direct for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

13.10. Keepwell. Parent hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Credit Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Credit Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering Parent’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 13.10 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount) and without limitation of the foregoing, Parent hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment and performance by each Specified Credit Party of its obligations under the Credit Documents with respect to all Swap Obligations. The obligations and undertakings of Parent under this Section 13.10 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Parent intends this Section 13.10 to constitute, and this Section 13.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

13.11. Additional security. This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Secured Party.

13.12. German Guarantee Limitations.

(a) Limitation. The Collateral Agent agrees to restrict the enforcement of the guarantee/security granted by any German Credit Party organised as a German limited liability company (GmbH) (the “German Guarantor”) pursuant to this Agreement if and to the extent that (i) the relevant enforcement proceeds are applied in satisfaction of any liabilities of the German Guarantor’s direct or indirect shareholder(s) (upstream) or any entity affiliated to such shareholder (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (cross-stream) (other than the liabilities of any of the German Guarantor’s subsidiaries and, for the avoidance of doubt, the German Guarantor’s own liabilities) and (ii) such enforcement of the security would cause the amount of the German Guarantor’s net assets (Reinvermögen), as adjusted pursuant to the following provisions, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital) (Begründung einer Unterbilanz) or to increase any already existing capital impairment (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz) in violation of sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG), (each such event is hereinafter referred to as a “Capital Impairment”).

169

For the purposes of the calculation of a Capital Impairment, the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) the amount of any increase of the German Guarantor’s registered share capital after the date of this Agreement that has been effected without prior written consent of Collateral Agent shall be deducted from the German Guarantor’s registered share capital;

(ii) loans provided to the German Guarantor by any member of the group shall be disregarded if and to the extent such loans are subordinated or are considered subordinated by operation of law and such loans are not shown in the balance sheet as liability of the German Guarantor; and

(iii) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall be disregarded.

(b) Disposal of relevant assets. In a situation where the German Guarantor would not have sufficient assets to maintain its registered share capital after satisfaction (in whole or in part) of the relevant demand, the German Guarantor shall dispose of all assets, to the extent legally permitted, which are not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) on market terms where the relevant assets are shown in the balance sheet of the German Guarantor with a book value which is significantly lower than the market value of such assets, unless such disposal would not be commercially justifiable, provided that the Collateral Agent consents to the fact that a disposal would not be commercially justifiable.

(c) Management Notification/Auditor’s Determination. (i) The limitation pursuant to this Section 13.12 shall apply, subject to the following requirements, if following a notice by the Collateral Agent that it intends to enforce any guarantee granted under this Agreement, the German Guarantor notifies the Collateral Agent (“Management Notification”) within ten (10) days upon receipt of the relevant notice that a Capital Impairment would occur (setting out in reasonable detail to what extent a Capital Impairment would occur and providing prima facie evidence that a realisation or other measures undertaken in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out above would not prevent such Capital Impairment); (ii) If the Management Notification is contested by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall nevertheless be entitled to enforce any security granted under this Agreement up to such amount, which is, based on the Management Notification, undisputed between itself and the German Guarantor. In relation to the amount which is in dispute, the German Guarantor undertakes (at its own cost and expense) to arrange for the preparation of a balance sheet by its auditors in order to have such auditors determine whether (and if so, to what extent) any payment under this Agreement would cause a Capital Impairment (the “Auditor’s Determination”). The Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared, taking into account the adjustments set out above in relation to the calculation of a Capital Impairment, by applying the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) based on the same principles and evaluation methods as consistently applied by the German Guarantor in the preparation of its financial statements, in particular in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet, and taking into consideration applicable court rulings of German courts. The German Guarantor shall provide the Auditor’s Determination to the Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Collateral Agent contested the Management Notification in writing. The Auditor’s Determination shall be binding on the German Guarantor and the Collateral Agent; (iii) If, and to the extent that, any Lien under the

170

German Collateral Documents has been enforced without regard to the limitation set forth in Section 13.12(a) because the amount of the available net assets pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination is lower than the amount stated in the Management Notification, the Collateral Agent shall upon written demand of the German Guarantor to the Collateral Agent repay any amount (if and to the extent already paid to the Collateral Agent) up to and including the amount calculated in the Auditor’s Determination as of the date the demand to enforce any security under this Agreement was made and in accordance with Section 13.12(c)(ii) above, provided such demand for repayment is made to the Collateral Agent within 6 months (Ausschlussfrist) from the date any security under this Agreement has been enforced; (iv) If pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination the amount of the available net assets is higher than set out in the Management Notification, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce into such available net assets accordingly.

(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the limitations pursuant to this Section 13.12 shall not apply:

(i) if the German Guarantor is (i) party as dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) of a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) and/or a profit and loss transfer agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) pursuant to section 30 para 1 sentence 2 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG), unless the dominating entity is insolvent; or

(ii) if the German Guarantor has a recourse right (Rückgriffsanspruch) pursuant to section 30 para 1 sentence 2 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG), towards its direct or indirect shareholder(s) (upstream) or any entity affiliated to such shareholder (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (cross-stream) which is fully recoverable (werthaltig); or

(iii) for so long as the German Guarantor fails to deliver the Management Notification and/or the Auditor’s Determination pursuant to Section 13.12(c) (Management Notification/Auditor’s Determination) unless the German Guarantor proves in a court proceeding that the disputed amount is necessary for maintaining its registered share capital; or

(iv) to any amounts borrowed under the Credit Documents to the extent the proceeds of such borrowing are on-lent to the German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries to the extent that any amounts so on-lent are still outstanding at the time the relevant demand is made against the German Guarantor and the repayment of such loans as a result of such on-lending is not prohibited by operation of law; or

(v) to any amounts borrowed under the Credit Documents by the German Guarantor to the extent that any amounts so borrowed are still outstanding at the time the relevant demand for repayment is made against the German Guarantor

13.13. French Guarantee Limitations.

(a) The obligations of any Guarantor incorporated under French law (the “French Guarantor”) under this Section 13 shall be limited to:

(i) the payment obligations of the Subsidiaries of such French Guarantor under the Credit Documents; and

(ii) the payment obligations of any other Credit Party under the Credit Documents which is not a Subsidiary of that French Guarantor, up to an amount not exceeding the amounts in principal and interest borrowed (directly or by way of intra group loans funded out of the proceeds of the relevant Revolving Loans) by that French Guarantor and/or such French Guarantor’s Subsidiaries (the “Maximum Guaranteed Amount”) provided that such Credit party which is not a Subsidiary of that French Guarantor guarantees in turn (as Guarantor) the payment obligations of the French Guarantor or its Subsidiaries under the Credit Document. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by a French Guarantor under this Section 13 in respect of the obligations of such French Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intra group loans due by such French Guarantor under the intra group loans referred to above.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13 to the contrary, no French Guarantor shall secure liabilities under this Agreement which would result in such French Guarantor not complying with French financial assistance rules set out in article L. 225-216 of the French Commercial Code and/or would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of article L. 241-3 or L. 242-6 of the French Commercial Code or any other law or regulations having the same effect, as interpreted by French courts.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Agreement to the joint and several liability of a Credit Party incorporated under French law shall be construed as a joint and several liability subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 13.13.

13.14. Swiss Guarantee Limitations.

(a) If and to the extent that a payment in fulfilling the joint and several liabilities under this Section 13 of a Swiss Guarantor would, at the time payment is due, under Swiss law and practice (inter alia, prohibiting capital repayments or restricting profit distributions) not be permitted, in particular if and to the extent that such Swiss Guarantor guarantees obligations other than obligations of one of its subsidiaries (i.e. obligations of its direct or indirect parent companies (up-stream guarantee) or sister companies (cross-stream guarantee)) (“Restricted Obligations”), then such obligations and payment amount shall from time to time be limited to the amount of the freely disposable equity in accordance with Swiss law and practice then in force; provided that such limited amount shall at no time be less than such Swiss Guarantor’s profits and reserves available for the distribution as dividends (being the balance sheet profits and any reserves available for this purpose, in each case in accordance with article 675(2) and article 671(1) and (2), no. 3, of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations) at the time or times payment under or pursuant to this Section 13 is requested from such Swiss Guarantor, and further provided that such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) free such Swiss Guarantor from payment obligations hereunder in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date therefor until such times as payment is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation. Any and all indemnities and guarantees contained in the Credit Documents including, in particular, Section 4.5(d), shall be construed in a manner consistent with the provisos herein contained.

(b) In respect of Restricted Obligations, each Swiss Guarantor shall:

(i) if and to the extent required by applicable law in force at the relevant time:

(A) subject to any applicable double taxation treaty, deduct Swiss anticipatory tax (Verrechnungssteuer; Swiss Withholding Tax) at the rate of 35 per cent. (or such other rate as in force from time to time) from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations;

(B) pay any such deduction to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

172

(C) notify the Administrative Agent that such a deduction has been made and provide the Administrative Agent with evidence that such a deduction has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, all in accordance with Section 4.5(a); and

(ii) to the extent such a deduction is made, not be obliged to either gross-up in accordance with Section 4.5(a) or indemnify each Recipient in accordance with Section 4.5(d) in relation to any such payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations unless grossing-up is permitted under the laws of Switzerland then in force.

(c) If and to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent and if and to the extent this is from time to time required under Swiss law (restricting profit distributions), in order to allow the Administrative Agent to obtain a maximum benefit under the joint and several liabilities under this Section 13, each Swiss Guarantor undertakes to promptly implement all such measures and/or to promptly obtain the fulfillment of all prerequisites allowing it to promptly make the requested payment(s) hereunder from time to time, including the following:

(i) preparation of an up-to-date audited balance sheet of such Swiss Guarantor;

(ii) confirmation of the auditors of such Swiss Guarantor that the relevant amount represents the maximum freely distributable profits;

(iii) approval by a shareholder’s or a quotaholders’ meeting (as applicable) of such Swiss Guarantor of the resulting profit distribution; and

(iv) all such other measures necessary or useful to allow such Swiss Guarantor to make the payments agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations
