Under the Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified herein), all accounting terms shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations shall be made, and all financial statements shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited financial statements of the Loan Parties delivered to the Agent before the Closing Date. In the event that any “Accounting Changes” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then at the North American Loan Party Agent’s request, the Agent and the Lenders shall enter into negotiations in good faith with such Loan Party Agent in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to reflect equitably such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of the Loan Parties shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. Any (i) change in GAAP occurring after the date hereof or (ii) application of guidance promulgated by EITF No. 01-08, in each case that would require operating leases to be treated as capital leases shall be disregarded for purposes of determining Debt and any financial ratio or compliance requirement contained in any Loan Document. “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles required by GAAP.

1.3. Uniform Commercial Code. As used herein, the following terms are defined in accordance with the UCC in effect in the State of New York from time to time: “Chattel Paper”, “Equipment”, “Instrument”, “Investment Property”. In addition, other terms relating to Collateral used and not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the UCC shall have the meanings set forth in the UCC and as the context requires.

1.4. Certain Matters of Construction. The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all genders. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, “from” means “from and including,” and “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding.” The terms “including” and “include” shall mean “including, without limitation” and, for purposes of each Loan Document, the parties agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be applicable to limit any provision. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan Document. All references to (a) laws or statutes include all related rules, regulations, interpretations, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any reference to any Loan Document shall be deemed to include any amendments, restatements, waivers and other modifications, extensions or supplements to, or renewals of, such Loan Document; (c) section means, unless the context otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person includes successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns of such Person; (f) time of day means time of day in Dallas, Texas (Central Time) unless otherwise specified herein; (g) discretion of the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender means the sole and absolute discretion of such Person exercised in a manner consistent with its duties of good faith and fair dealing; or (h) “property” or “asset” includes any real or personal, present or future, tangible or intangible property or asset and any right, interest, revenue or benefit in, under or derived from the property or asset. To the extent not otherwise specified herein, Borrowing Base calculations for each Borrower shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation for such Borrower’s Borrowing Base, and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). Loan Parties shall have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender under any Loan Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. A reference to a Loan

Party’s “knowledge” or similar concept means actual knowledge of a Senior Officer, or knowledge that a Senior Officer would have obtained if he or she had engaged in due inquiry. Whenever any payment, certificate, notice or other delivery shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment or delivery shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any LIBOR Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

1.5. Currency Calculations.

(a) All references in the Loan Documents to Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations and other amounts shall be denominated in Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise. The Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated or reported under a Loan Document with respect to the components of the Total Borrowing Base in a currency other than Dollars shall be determined by the Agent on a daily basis based on the current Exchange Rate, with all other amounts determined and reported in Dollars in accordance with GAAP. Each Borrower shall report Value and other Borrowing Base components to the Agent in the currency invoiced by such Borrower or shown in such Borrower’s financial records, and unless expressly provided otherwise, Parent shall deliver consolidated financial statements and calculate financial covenants in Dollars. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Obligation is funded and expressly denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Borrowers shall repay such Obligation in such other currency.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 10.2 with respect to any Dollar denominated restriction on Debt, Investments, Liens or Distributions, the dollar equivalent of such Debt, Investment, Lien or Distribution, as applicable, denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the relevant currency Exchange Rate (as determined by the North American Loan Party Agent) in effect on the date such Debt, Investment, Lien or Distribution, as applicable, was first committed or incurred and, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Debt or Investment is incurred; provided that if such Debt is incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.5(b) shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Debt or Investment may be incurred at any time under such Sections.

SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

2.1. Commitment.

2.1.1. Revolver Loans.

(a) Dutch Revolver Loans to Dutch Borrowers. Each Dutch Lender agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Dutch Lenders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Dutch Revolver Loans to any of the Dutch Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof), together with such Dutch Lender’s portion of the Dutch LC Obligations, such Dutch Lender’s

Dutch Revolver Commitment at such time, which Dutch Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Dutch Lenders shall have no obligation to the Dutch Borrowers whatsoever to honor any request for a Dutch Revolver Loan (i) on or after the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date or (ii) if the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the proposed Dutch Revolver Loan exceeds Dutch Availability on the proposed funding date for such Dutch Revolver Loan or, in the case of any Dutch Borrower, the limit contained in Section 2.5. Each Borrowing of Dutch Revolver Loans shall be funded by Dutch Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. The Dutch Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. Each Dutch Revolver Loan shall, at the option of the Applicable Dutch Borrower, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of European Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans if denominated in Sterling, European Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans if denominated in Euros, or European Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans if denominated in Dollars. The Dutch Revolver Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be secured by all of the Dutch Facility Collateral. Each Dutch Revolver Loan shall be funded in Euros or, at the option of the Applicable Dutch Borrower, Dollars or Sterling and repaid in the same currency as the underlying Dutch Revolver Loan was made.

(b) U.S. Revolver Loans to U.S. Borrowers. Each U.S. Lender agrees, severally and not jointly with the other U.S. Lenders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make U.S. Revolver Loans to any of the U.S. Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, together with such U.S. Lender’s portion of the U.S. LC Obligations, such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment at such time, which U.S. Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such U.S. Lenders shall have no obligation to U.S. Borrowers whatsoever to honor any request for a U.S. Revolver Loan (i) on or after the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date or (ii) if the amount of the proposed U.S. Revolver Loan exceeds U.S. Availability on the proposed funding date for such U.S. Revolver Loan. Each Borrowing of U.S. Revolver Loans shall be funded by U.S. Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. The U.S. Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. Each U.S. Revolver Loan shall, at the option of the North American Loan Party Agent, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of U.S. Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. The U.S. Revolver Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be secured by all of the U.S. Facility Collateral. U.S. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all of the U.S. Revolver Loans. Each U.S. Revolver Loan shall be funded and repaid in Dollars.

(c) Cap on Total Revolver Exposure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1.1, in no event shall any Borrower be entitled to receive a Revolver Loan if at the time of the proposed funding of such Loan (and after giving effect thereto and all pending requests for Loans), the Total Revolver Exposure exceeds (or would exceed) the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time.

2.1.2. Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of the Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, the Borrowers within the Borrower Group to which such Lender has extended Commitments shall deliver a Revolver Note to such Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment to such Borrower Group, provided such request is made at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

2.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely (a) to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement; (b) to pay fees and expenses associated with the Transaction; and (c) for other lawful, general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries.

2.1.4. Reduction or Termination of Commitments.

(a) Dutch Revolver Commitments. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the Dutch Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date. Upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent from the North American Loan Party Agent, Dutch Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Dutch Revolver Commitments in full without premium or penalty (other than funding losses payable pursuant to Section 3.10). On the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, the Dutch Facility Loan Parties shall make Full Payment of all Dutch Facility Obligations.

(b) U.S. Revolver Commitments. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the U.S. Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date. Upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent from the North American Loan Party Agent, U.S. Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the U.S. Revolver Commitments in full without premium or penalty (other than funding losses payable pursuant to Section 3.10). If the U.S. Borrowers elect to permanently reduce to zero or terminate the U.S. Revolver Commitments pursuant to the previous sentence, the Foreign Revolver Commitments shall automatically terminate concurrently with the termination of the U.S. Revolver Commitments. On the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, the U.S. Facility Loan Parties shall make Full Payment of all U.S. Facility Obligations.

(c) Partial Reductions. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom and after giving effect thereto, a Loan Party Agent may permanently and irrevocably reduce the Commitments by giving the Agent at least 10 Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice thereof from a Senior Officer of such Loan Party Agent, which notice shall (i) specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such reduction (which shall, in the case of the U.S. Revolver Commitments, be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and, in the case of a Foreign Revolver Commitment, be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), and (ii) specify the allocation of such reduction to, and the corresponding reductions of, each Foreign Revolver Commitment and/or the U.S. Revolver Commitment (each of which shall be allocated to the Lenders among the affected Borrower Groups on a Pro Rata basis at the time of such reduction); provided that in no event may any reduction of a Borrower Group Commitment be made pursuant to this Section 2.1.4(c), if after giving effect thereto, the U.S. Revolver Commitments would be less than sixty percent (60%) of the Commitment. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) each reduction in the Dutch Revolver Commitments may not exceed Dutch Availability and (B) each reduction in the U.S. Revolver Commitments may not exceed U.S. Availability.

(d) Notices Irrevocable. Any notice of termination or partial reduction given pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that notice of termination of the Commitments in full may be contingent on the occurrence of a financing or refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets or the occurrence of a Change of Control and may be revoked or the termination date deferred if the financing or refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets or Change of Control does not occur.

2.1.5. Overadvances.

(a) Dutch Overadvance. If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal balance of all Dutch Revolver Loans owing by a Dutch Borrower exceeds the Dutch Borrowing Base of such Dutch Borrower (a “Dutch Overadvance”), the excess amount shall, subject to Section 5.2(b), be payable by the Applicable Dutch Borrower on demand by the Agent; provided however that if such excess is a result of fluctuations in the Exchange Rate, the Applicable Dutch Borrower shall have three (3) Business Days to prepay such excess pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Agreement before the Agent makes such Dutch Overadvance; provided further that, no new Loans (including, without limitation, Dutch Overadvances) will be made during such period. All Dutch Overadvance Loans shall constitute Dutch Facility Obligations secured by the Dutch Facility Collateral and shall be entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents.

(b) U.S. Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal balance of all U.S. Revolver Loans exceeds the U.S. Borrowing Base (a “U.S. Overadvance”), the excess amount shall, subject to Section 5.2, be payable by the U.S. Borrowers on demand by the Agent; provided however that if such excess is a result of fluctuations in the Exchange Rate, the Applicable U.S. Borrower shall have three (3) Business Days to prepay such excess pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Agreement before the Agent makes such U.S. Overadvance; provided further that, no new Loans (including, without limitation, U.S. Overadvances) will be made during such period. All U.S. Overadvance Loans shall constitute U.S. Facility Obligations secured by the U.S. Facility Collateral and shall be entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents.

(c) Funding of Overadvance Loans. The Agent may require Applicable Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the applicable Borrower(s) to cure an Overadvance as long as (i) such Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days, (ii) the aggregate amount of Overadvances existing at any time do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Commitments then in effect and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Overadvances existing at any time, together with the Protective Advances outstanding at any time pursuant to Section 2.1.6 below, do not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Commitments then in effect. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Agent’s authority to make further Overadvance Loans to any or all Borrowers by written notice to the Agent. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause (A) the Dutch Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate Dutch Revolver Commitments or (B) the U.S. Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the relevant Borrower fails to pay such Overadvance within the time period provided in Sections 2.1.5(a) and 2.1.5(b), as applicable, or a waiver by the Agent or Lenders of the Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.1.5(c) nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6. Protective Advances.

(a) Dutch Protective Advances. The Agent shall be authorized by each Dutch Borrower and the Dutch Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make European Base Rate Loans to any Dutch Borrower on behalf of the Dutch Lenders (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Dutch Protective Advances”) which the Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable to (i) preserve or protect Dutch Facility Collateral or any portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Dutch Revolver Loans and other Dutch Facility Obligations; provided that no Dutch Protective Advance shall cause the aggregate amount of the Dutch Revolver Exposure at such time to exceed the Dutch Revolver Commitments then in effect. All Dutch Protective Advances made by the Agent with respect to each Dutch Domiciled Loan Party shall be Dutch Facility Obligations of such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party, secured by the applicable Dutch Facility Collateral and, if denominated in Euros, shall be treated for all purposes as a European Base Rate Loan or, if denominated in Dollars, shall be treated for all purposes as a European Base Rate Loan or if determined in Sterling, shall be treated for all purposes as a European Base Rate Loan.

(b) U.S. Protective Advances. The Agent shall be authorized by each U.S. Borrower and the U.S. Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make U.S. Base Rate Loans to the U.S. Borrowers on behalf of the U.S. Lenders (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “U.S. Protective Advances”) which the Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable to (i) preserve or protect U.S. Facility Collateral or any portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the U.S. Revolver Loans and other U.S. Facility Obligations; provided that no U.S. Protective Advance shall cause the aggregate amount of the U.S. Revolver Exposure at such time to exceed the U.S. Revolver Commitments then in effect. All U.S. Protective Advances made by the Agent with respect to U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties shall be U.S. Facility Obligations, secured by the U.S. Facility Collateral and shall be treated for all purposes as U.S. Base Rate Loans.

(c) Limitations on Protective Advances. The aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time pursuant to this Section 2.1.6 shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Commitments then in effect. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions set forth in Section 6 have not been satisfied. Each Applicable Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances to any or all Borrowers by written notice to the Agent. Absent such revocation, the Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. At any time that there is sufficient Availability for the applicable Borrower Group and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied, the Agent may request the Applicable Lenders to make a Revolver Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time, the Agent may require the Applicable Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.1.6(d).

(d) Transfers. Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each Applicable Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata share of such Protective Advance. Each Applicable Lender shall transfer (a “Transfer”) the amount of such Applicable Lender’s Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Protective Advance with respect to such purchased interest and participation promptly when requested to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, but in any case not later than 3:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day notified (if notice is provided by the Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. (Local Time) and otherwise on the immediately following Business Day (the “Transfer Date”). Transfers may occur during the existence of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Agent shall be applied against the amount of the Protective Advance and, together with Applicable Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Protective Advance, shall constitute Loans of such Applicable Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Applicable Lender on such Transfer Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Applicable Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 3.1. From and after the date, if any, on which any Applicable Lender is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Lender’s Pro Rata share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

2.1.7. Increase in Revolver Commitments; Reallocations.

(a) Foreign Revolver Commitment Increase. The North American Loan Party Agent may by written notice to the Agent request an increase the Dutch Revolver Commitments then in effect (a “Foreign Revolver Commitment Increase”) by increasing the Dutch Revolver Commitment of a Dutch Lender (with the consent of such Dutch Lender) or by causing a Person that constitutes an Eligible Assignee and at such time is not a Dutch Lender to become a Dutch Lender (an “Additional Dutch Lender”). After giving effect to any Foreign Revolver Commitment Increase, the Dutch Revolver Commitment of each Dutch Lender (and the percentage of each Dutch Revolver Loan that each Participant must purchase a Dutch Revolver Loan participation in) shall be equal to such Dutch Lender’s (or Participant’s) Pro Rata share of the amount of the increased Dutch Revolver Commitments.

(b) U.S. Revolver Commitment Increase. The North American Loan Party Agent may by written notice to the Agent elect to increase the U.S. Revolver Commitments then in effect (a “U.S. Revolver Commitment Increase” and together with any Foreign Revolver Commitment Increase, “Revolver Commitment Increases”) by increasing the U.S. Revolver Commitment of a U.S. Lender (with the consent of such U.S. Lender) or by causing a Person that constitutes an Eligible Assignee and at such time is not a U.S. Lender to become a U.S. Lender (an “Additional U.S. Lender” and together with any Additional Dutch Lender, “Additional Lenders”). After giving effect to any U.S. Revolver Commitment Increase, the U.S. Revolver Commitment of each U.S. Lender (and the percentage of each U.S. Revolver Loan that each Participant must purchase a U.S. Revolver Loan participation in) shall be equal to such U.S. Lender’s (or Participant’s) Pro Rata share of the amount of the increased U.S. Revolver Commitments.

(c) Terms of Revolver Commitment Increases. Each notice of an increase in any Borrower Group Commitment shall specify the proposed date (each, an “Increase Date”) for the effectiveness of the Revolver Commitment Increase, which date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agent. Any such increase shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such notice or both immediately before and after giving effect to such Revolver Commitment Increase as of the Increase Date; (ii) after giving effect to the proposed increase, the U.S. Revolver Commitment shall be at least sixty percent (60%) of the Commitments, (iii) no Lender shall be obligated to participate in the Revolver Commitment Increase by increasing its Commitment; (iv) the Revolver Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, except with respect to closing fees; (v) the Revolver Commitment Increase, to the extent arising from the admission of an Additional Lender, shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered by the Applicable Borrowers, the Additional Lender(s) and the Agent, each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (vi) the relevant Loan Party Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered any officers’ certificates, board resolutions, legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with the Revolver Commitment Increase; (vii) the Borrowers shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses in connection with the Revolver Commitment Increase, including payments required pursuant to Section 3.10 in connection with the Revolver Commitment Increase and any applicable arrangement fees; (viii) the Agent shall have consented in writing to such Revolver Commitment Increase (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (ix) such increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Revolver Commitments or in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 in the case of each of the Foreign Revolver Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (a) the aggregate amount of all Revolver Commitment Increases made under this Section 2.1.7 exceed the sum of $100,000,000, nor (b) the aggregate amount of all Foreign Revolver Commitment Increases under this Section 2.1.7 exceed the sum of $40,000,000.

(d) Increases Generally. The Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders of any request for a Revolver Commitment Increase made by a Loan Party Agent. If the conditions set forth in clause (c) above are not satisfied on the applicable Increase Date (or, to the extent such conditions relate to an earlier date, such earlier date), the Agent shall notify such Loan Party Agent in writing that the requested Revolver Commitment Increase will not be effectuated. On each Increase Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders and the relevant Loan Party Agent, on or before 3:00 p.m. (Local Time), by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, of the occurrence of the Revolver Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date, the amount of Revolver Loans held by each Lender as a result thereof, the amount of the Commitment of each Lender (and the percentage of each Revolver Loan, if any, that each Participant must purchase a participation interest in) as a result thereof.

2.1.8. Swingline Loans.

(a) Dutch Swingline Loans to Dutch Borrowers. The Dutch Swingline Lender will, in the Dutch Swingline Lender’s discretion, make Dutch Swingline Loans to any of the Dutch Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, not to exceed the Dutch Swingline Sublimit in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof), which Dutch Swingline Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Dutch Swingline Lender shall not honor any request for a Dutch Swingline Loan (i) on or after the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (ii) if the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the proposed Dutch Swingline Loan exceeds Dutch Availability on the proposed funding date for such Dutch Swingline Loan, (iii) if the requirements of Section 2.5 are not satisfied or (iv) if the Dutch Swingline Lender has knowledge that any of the conditions in Section 6.2 are not satisfied. The Dutch Swingline Loans shall be European Base Rate Loans if denominated in Euros and European Base Rate Loans if denominated in Dollars and bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. Each Dutch Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes except that payments thereon shall be made to the Dutch Swingline Lender for its own account. The Dutch Swingline Loans of each Dutch Borrower shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be secured by all of the Dutch Facility Collateral of such Dutch Borrower. Each Dutch Swingline Loan shall be funded in Euros or, at the option of the Applicable Dutch Borrower, Dollars or Sterling and repaid in the same currency as the underlying Dutch Swingline Loan was made.

(b) U.S. Swingline Loans to U.S. Borrowers. The U.S. Swingline Lender will, in the U.S. Swingline Lender’s discretion, make U.S. Swingline Loans to any of the U.S. Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, not to exceed the U.S. Swingline Sublimit in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, which U.S. Swingline Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the U.S. Swingline Lender shall not honor any request for a U.S. Swingline Loan (i) on or after the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (ii) if the amount of the proposed U.S. Swingline Loan exceeds U.S. Availability on the proposed funding date for such U.S. Swingline Loan or (iii) if the U.S. Swingline Lender has knowledge that any of the conditions in Section 6.2 are not satisfied. The U.S. Swingline Loans shall be U.S. Base Rate Loans and bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. Each U.S. Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes except that payments thereon shall be made to the U.S. Swingline Lender for its own account. The U.S. Swingline Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be secured by all of the U.S. Facility Collateral. The U.S. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all of the U.S. Swingline Loans. Each U.S. Swingline Loan shall be funded and repaid in Dollars.

(c) Swinglines Generally. The Swingline Loans made by each Swingline Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of the Agent and such Swingline Lender and need not be evidenced by any promissory note.

2.2. Dutch Letters of Credit.

2.2.1. Issuance of Dutch Letters of Credit. Each Dutch Fronting Bank agrees to issue Dutch Letters of Credit for the account of any Dutch Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), in Euros or, at the option of the Applicable Dutch Borrower, Dollars or Sterling, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Dutch Borrower acknowledges that each Dutch Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any Dutch Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Dutch Fronting Bank’s receipt of a Dutch LC Application with respect to the requested Dutch Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such Dutch Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No Dutch Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Dutch Letter of Credit unless (i) such Dutch Fronting Bank and the Agent receive a Dutch LC Request and Dutch LC Application at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each Dutch LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is a Dutch Lender exists, such Lender or Dutch Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and such Dutch Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If a Dutch Fronting Bank receives written notice from a Dutch Lender at least three (3) Business Days before issuance of a Dutch Letter of Credit that any Dutch LC Condition has not been satisfied, such Dutch Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Dutch Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, a Dutch Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Dutch LC Conditions.

(b) Dutch Letters of Credit may be requested by the North American Loan Party Agent or the Foreign Loan Party Agent to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Agent. The renewal or extension of any Dutch Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Dutch Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Dutch LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Dutch Fronting Bank. No Dutch Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Dutch Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Dutch Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Dutch Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Dutch Letter of Credit, none of the Agent, any Dutch Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Dutch Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Dutch Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Dutch Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Dutch Fronting Bank, the Agent or any Dutch Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each Dutch Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Dutch Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Dutch Letter of Credit issued by such Dutch Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Dutch Letters of Credit or Dutch LC Documents, each Dutch Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Dutch Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Dutch Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Dutch Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Dutch Letters of Credit or Dutch LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the gross negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.2.2. Dutch LC Reimbursement; Dutch LC Participations.

(a) If a Dutch Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under a Dutch Letter of Credit, the Applicable Dutch Borrower shall pay to such Dutch Fronting Bank, on the same day (“Dutch Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such Dutch Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for European Base Rate Loans from the Dutch Reimbursement Date until payment by Dutch Borrower. The obligation of the Applicable Dutch Borrower to reimburse each Dutch Fronting Bank for any payment made under a Dutch Letter of Credit issued by such Dutch Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Dutch Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Applicable Dutch Borrower or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the Initial Dutch Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Applicable Dutch Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of European Base Rate Loans, as applicable, in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due to a Dutch Fronting Bank in the currency in which the underlying Dutch Letter of Credit was issued on any Dutch Reimbursement Date and each Dutch Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a Dutch Letter of Credit, each Dutch Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Dutch Fronting Bank that issued such Dutch Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all Dutch LC Obligations relating to the Dutch Letter of Credit. If the applicable Dutch Fronting Bank makes any payment under a Dutch Letter of Credit and the Applicable Dutch Borrower does not reimburse such payment on the Dutch Reimbursement Date, the Agent shall promptly notify Dutch Lenders and each Dutch Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to the Agent in the currency of the payment made under such Dutch Letter of Credit, for the benefit of the Dutch Fronting Bank, the Dutch Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Dutch Lender, the applicable Dutch Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any Dutch Letters of Credit and Dutch LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Dutch Lender to make payments to the Agent for the account of the applicable Dutch Fronting Bank in connection with such Dutch Fronting Bank’s payment under a Dutch Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Dutch Letter of Credit having

been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No Dutch Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Dutch Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Dutch LC Documents. No Dutch Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to Dutch Lenders with respect to the Dutch Facility Collateral, Dutch LC Documents or any Dutch Facility Loan Party. No Dutch Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any Dutch Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Dutch LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Dutch Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Dutch Facility Loan Party.

(d) No Dutch Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Dutch LC Documents except as a result of such Dutch Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Dutch Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Dutch Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any Dutch Letter of Credit or Dutch LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders.

2.2.3. Dutch XX Xxxx Collateral. If any Dutch LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a Dutch Overadvance exists, (c) after the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within 20 Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then Dutch Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of the Dutch Fronting Bank’s or the Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Dutch Letters of Credit and pay to each Dutch Fronting Bank the amount of all other Dutch LC Obligations to such Dutch Fronting Bank. If the reallocation described in Section 4.2.1 cannot, or can only be partially effected, the Dutch Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Dutch Fronting Bank or the Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a Dutch Lender. If as a result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates or otherwise the Dollar Equivalent of the Dutch LC Obligations exceeds the Dutch Letter of Credit Sublimit, the excess amount shall be payable by the Dutch Borrowers within three (3) Business Days following demand by the Agent or the Dutch Fronting Bank. If Dutch Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Dutch Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Agent) advance, as Dutch Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Dutch Revolver Commitments have terminated, any Dutch Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.3. U.S. Letters of Credit.

2.3.1. Issuance of U.S. Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Fronting Bank agrees to issue U.S. Letters of Credit for the account of any U.S. Borrower; (provided that each U.S. Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable with respect to, and guarantees payment under Section 5.10.1 with respect to, any U.S. Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a U.S. Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each U.S. Borrower acknowledges that each U.S. Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any U.S. Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such U.S. Fronting Bank’s receipt of a U.S. LC Application with respect to the requested U.S. Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and

agreements as such U.S. Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any U.S. Letter of Credit unless (i) such U.S. Fronting Bank and the Bank of America (London) Agent receive a U.S. LC Request and U.S. LC Application at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each U.S. LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Lender exists, U.S. Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and such U.S. Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If a U.S. Fronting Bank receives written notice from a U.S. Lender at least two (2) Business Days before issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit that any U.S. LC Condition has not been satisfied, such U.S. Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested U.S. Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, a U.S. Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of U.S. LC Conditions.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by the North American Loan Party Agent to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Agent. The renewal or extension of any U.S. Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new U.S. Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new U.S. LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any U.S. Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) U.S. Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any U.S. Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any U.S. Letter of Credit, none of the Agent, any U.S. Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a U.S. Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a U.S. Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any U.S. Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any U.S. Fronting Bank, the Agent or any U.S. Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each U.S. Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any U.S. Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any U.S. Letters of Credit or U.S. LC Documents, each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such U.S. Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each U.S. Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each U.S. Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to U.S. Letters of Credit or U.S. LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the gross negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.3.2. U.S. LC Reimbursement; U.S. LC Participations.

(a) If a U.S. Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit, U.S. Borrowers shall pay to such U.S. Fronting Bank, on the same day (“U.S. Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such U.S. Fronting Bank under such U.S. Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for U.S. Base Rate Loans from the U.S. Reimbursement Date until payment by U.S. Borrowers. The obligation of U.S. Borrowers to reimburse each U.S. Fronting Bank for any payment made under a U.S. Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several among U.S. Borrowers, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any U.S. Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that U.S. Borrowers or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the North American Loan Party Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) to pay all amounts due to a U.S. Fronting Bank on any U.S. Reimbursement Date and each U.S. Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the U.S. Fronting Bank that issued such U.S. Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all U.S. LC Obligations relating to the U.S. Letter of Credit.

Upon request by a U.S. Lender, the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any U.S. Letters of Credit and U.S. LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each U.S. Lender to make payments to the Agent for the account of the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank in connection with such U.S. Fronting Bank’s payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a U.S. Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations.

(d) No U.S. Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any U.S. LC Documents except as a result of each U.S. Fronting Bank’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such U.S. Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any U.S. Letter of Credit or U.S. LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of the Borrower Group consisting of U.S. Borrowers.

2.3.3. U.S. XX Xxxx Collateral. If any U.S. LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a U.S. Overadvance exists, (c) after the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then U.S. Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of U.S. Fronting Bank’s or the Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding U.S. Letters of Credit (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and pay to each U.S. Fronting Bank the amount of all other U.S. LC Obligations to such U.S. Fronting Bank. If the reallocation described in Section 4.2.1 cannot, or can only partially be effected, the U.S. Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by U.S. Fronting Bank’s or the Agent, Cash Collateralize the U.S. LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Lender. If as a result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates or otherwise the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. LC Obligations exceeds the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit, the excess amount shall be payable by the U.S. Borrowers within three (3) Business Days following demand by the Agent or the U.S. Fronting Bank. If U.S. Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Agent) advance, as U.S. Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments have terminated, any U.S. Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.4. Resignation of Fronting Banks. A Fronting Bank may resign at any time upon notice to the Agent and the applicable Loan Party Agent. On and after the effective date of such resignation, such Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of a Fronting Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it prior to such date. The Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement Fronting Bank as soon as practicable, which, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the relevant Loan Party Agent.

2.5. Applicable Foreign Borrower Sublimits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, in no event shall any Applicable Foreign Borrower be entitled to receive a Revolver Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit (and no Lender shall be required to make or support the same) if at the time of the proposed funding of such Revolver Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit (and after giving effect thereto and all pending requests for Revolver Loans and Letters of Credit by or on behalf of such Borrower), the sum of (a) the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding amount of all Revolver Loans made to such Borrower on such date and (b) the LC Obligations of such Borrower on such date exceeds the lesser of such Borrower’s individual Borrowing Base or the Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitment. If as a result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates or otherwise the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of all outstanding Revolver Loans made to an Applicable Foreign Borrower and the LC Obligations of such Borrower exceed such Borrower’s Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitment, the excess amount shall be payable by the Applicable Foreign Borrower within three (3) Business Days following written demand by the Agent. In no event shall the aggregate Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitments for all members of a Foreign Borrower Group exceed the Foreign Revolver Commitments for such Foreign Borrower Group.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1. Interest.

3.1.1. Rates and Payment of Interest.

(a) The Obligations shall bear interest as follows:

(i) in the case of a U.S. Base Rate Loan, at the U.S. Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for such U.S. Base Rate Loan;

(ii) in the case of a European Base Rate Loan, at the European Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for European Base Rate Loans;

(iii) in the case of a LIBOR Base Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans;

(iv) in the case of any other Dutch Facility Obligation (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) that is then due and payable (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the European Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for European Rate Loans; and

(v) in the case of any other U.S. Facility Obligation (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) that is then due and payable (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the U.S. Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for the related U.S. Base Rate Loans.

Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation becomes payable, until paid by the Applicable Borrower(s). If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one Business Day’s interest shall accrue.

(b) Interest on the Revolver Loans shall be payable in the currency of the underlying Revolver Loan.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) following notice from the Agent, any other amounts payable hereunder, in each case, shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest (including post-petition interest during the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding) at a rate per annum that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the Default Rate or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Default Rate, from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 3.1.1(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender.

(d) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) for any Base Rate Loan or on the first day of each month; (ii) for any LIBOR Loan, on the last day of its Interest Period (and, if its Interest Period exceeds three months, at the end of each period of three months) and (iii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid. In addition, interest accrued on the (1) Dutch Revolver Loans shall be due and payable on the Dutch

Revolver Commitment Termination Date and (2) U.S. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

3.1.2. Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.

(a) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation and the other terms hereof, elect to convert any portion of any Base Rate Loan funded in Dollars, Euros or Sterling (as applicable) to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Event of Default, the Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrowers within a Borrower Group desire to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, the relevant Loan Party Agent shall give the Agent (and in the case of any such request by Dutch Borrowers Bank of America (London)) a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) or 1:00 pm (local time) in the case of a request on behalf of U.S. Borrowers at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, the Agent shall notify each Applicable Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be thirty (30) days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, the relevant Loan Party Agent shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect thereto as required above, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans.

3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans, the relevant Loan Party Agent, on behalf of the applicable Borrower(s), shall select an interest period to apply (the “Interest Period”), which interest period shall be a one, two, three, six (or if available to all Applicable Lenders as determined by such Applicable Lenders in good faith based upon prevailing market conditions) nine or twelve month period; provided, however, that:

(a) the Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end;

(b) if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month;

(c) if any Interest Period would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

(d) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Facility Termination Date (or, in the case of any Loan owing by (i) any Dutch Borrower, the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (ii) any U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, in each case if earlier).

3.2. Fees.

3.2.1. Unused Line Fee.

(a) Dutch Unused Line Fee. Dutch Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Dutch Lenders, a fee equal to 0.375% per annum times the average daily amount by which the Dutch Revolver Commitments exceed the Dutch Revolver Exposure during any month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, outstanding Dutch Swingline Loans shall not be taken into account when determining Dutch Revolver Exposure for purposes of this Section 3.2.1(a). Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date.

(b) U.S. Unused Line Fee. U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of U.S. Lenders, a fee equal to 0.375% per annum times the average daily amount by which the U.S. Revolver Commitments exceed the U.S. Revolver Exposure during any month.

Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2. Dutch Letters of Credit Fees. Each Applicable Dutch Borrower shall pay (a) to the Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Dutch Lenders, a fee equal to the per annum rate of the Applicable Margin in effect for Letter of Credit Fees times the average daily stated amount of such Applicable Dutch Borrower’s Dutch Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) to each Dutch Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each Dutch Letter of Credit issued by it, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; and (c) to each Dutch Fronting Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Dutch Letters of Credit issued by it, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred.

3.2.3. U.S. Letters of Credit Fees. U.S. Borrowers shall pay (a) to the Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of U.S. Lenders, a fee equal to the per annum rate of the Applicable Margin in effect for Letter of Credit Fees times the average daily stated amount of U.S. Letters of Credit (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof), which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) to each U.S. Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each U.S. Letter of Credit issued by it, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; and (c) to each U.S. Fronting Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of U.S. Letters of Credit issued by it, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred.

3.2.4. Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay such other fees as described in the Fee Letters.

3.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days, or, in the case of interest on U.S. Base Rate Loans (unless U.S. Base Rate is being determined based on clause (c) of the definition thereof) or Loans denominated in Euros and Sterling, on the basis of a 365 day year. Each determination by the Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are

compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money, except to the extent such treatment is inconsistent with any Applicable Law. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail amounts payable by any Borrower under Section 3.4, 3.7, 3.8 or 3.10 and the basis therefor, submitted to a Loan Party Agent by the Agent or the affected Lender or Fronting Bank shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4. Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent and Security Trustees for all Extraordinary Expenses. In addition to such Extraordinary Expenses, Borrowers shall also reimburse the Agent and Security Trustees for all reasonable and documented legal, accounting, appraisal and other reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses, without duplication, incurred by them in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of the Agent’s or any Security Trustee’s Liens on any such Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify such Collateral; and (c) each inspection, field exam, audit or appraisal with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral, whether prepared by the Agent’s personnel or a third party (subject to the limitations of Section 10.1.1). All reasonable and documented legal and accounting fees incurred by Agent Professionals or any applicable Security Trustee shall be charged to Borrowers at the actual rate charged by such Agent Professionals or such Security Trustee; provided that Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Agent and Security Trustees for legal fees shall be limited to the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of Xxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, U.S. counsel to the Agent, the Xxxxxx Xxxx Group, as foreign counsel to the Agent and Security Trustees, and if necessary, of one local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may include a local counsel acting in each of multiple jurisdictions, so long as no Event of Default then exists, with the written consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). In addition to the Extraordinary Expenses of Agent and Security Trustees, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default, Borrowers shall reimburse Fronting Banks and Lenders for the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel (and if necessary, of one local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may include a local counsel acting in each of multiple jurisdictions)) for the Fronting Banks and Lenders, as a whole, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights under the Loan Documents, including all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or Insolvency Proceeding; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that there is a conflict of interest amongst the Lenders on the one hand or the Agent and the Lenders on the other hand, the Lenders may engage and be reimbursed for one additional counsel, subject to the foregoing limitations. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall be due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand.

3.5. Illegality. If any Lender in good faith determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the European Base Rate, LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell bills of exchange denominated in, or to take deposits of, a currency in the London interbank market, or then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Agent and Parent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue affected LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to affected LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the

Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers of the affected Borrower Group may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Loans and shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all affected LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers of the affected Borrower Group shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. If any Lender invokes this Section 3.5, such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify a Loan Party Agent and the Agent when the conditions giving rise to such action no longer exists, provided, however, that such Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers or to any other Person for its failure to provide such notice. Each Lender (solely to the extent having multiple Lending Offices) agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.6. Inability to Determine Rates. If Required Lenders notify the Agent for any reason in connection with a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an LIBOR Loan that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market, for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR, for the requested Interest Period, or (c) LIBOR for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then the Agent will promptly so notify a Loan Party Agent and each Applicable Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make or maintain affected LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, a Loan Party Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of an LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan. If any Lender invokes this Section 3.6, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to notify the relevant Loan Party Agent and the Agent when the conditions giving rise to such action no longer exists, provided, however, that such Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers or to any other Person for its failure to provide such notice.

3.7. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1. Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

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

(b) subject any Lender or Fronting Bank to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, which shall be covered solely by Section 5.8.1, (ii) Excluded Taxes, (iii) Other Taxes, which shall be covered solely by Section 5.8.1, or (iv) Taxes described in Section 5.8.2(b)(ii)) on its Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) impose on any Lender or Fronting Bank or the London interbank market or any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit or participation in LC Obligations;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting or continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or Fronting Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Fronting Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Fronting Bank, the Borrower Group to which such Lender or Fronting Bank has a Commitment shall pay to such Lender or Fronting Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Fronting Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, further, however, that the Borrowers will only be required to pay such additional amounts as a result of a Change in Law if it is the general policy or practice of such Lender or Fronting Bank to pass on such costs to similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender or such Fronting Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.7.1 shall not apply to the extent that any amount is compensated for by the payment of any amount pursuant to Section 3.8.

3.7.2. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Fronting Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Fronting Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital, liquidity or leverage requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Fronting Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations to a level below that which such Lender, Fronting Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Fronting Bank’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower Group to which such Lender or Fronting Bank has a Commitment will pay to such Lender or Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.3 provided, further, however, that the Borrowers will only be required to pay such additional amounts as a result of a Change in Law if it is the general policy or practice of such Lender or Fronting Bank to pass on such costs to similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender or such Fronting Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so).

3.7.3. Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Fronting Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers of a Borrower Group shall not be required to compensate a Lender to such Borrower Group or Fronting Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Lender or Fronting Bank notifies a Loan Party Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8. Additional Reserve Costs.

(a) If and so long as any Lender is required by the Bank of England, the European Central Bank or the Financial Services Authority or any other monetary or other authority of the UK to make special deposits, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans, such Lender may require the Borrower in respect of such Loans to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Schedule 3.8.

(b) Any additional cost owed pursuant to Section 3.8(a) above shall be payable to the Agent by the applicable Borrower for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

3.9. Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7 or 3.8, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or unlawful. The Borrower or Borrowers of each affected Borrower Group shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender that has issued a Commitment to such Borrower Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.10. Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense reasonably incurred if for any reason (other than a default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of an LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) any Borrower of any Borrower Group fails to repay an LIBOR Loan when required hereunder, then Borrowers of such Borrower Group shall pay to the Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses and expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds, but excluding loss of margin. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.10 shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 3.3. Lenders shall not be required to purchase deposits in the London interbank market or any other applicable market to fund any LIBOR Loan, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits to fund such Loans.

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

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

Notices received after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

Such notice must be received by the Agent and Bank of America (London) no later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day of the requested funding date provided that a Notice of Borrowing that requests a Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars or Sterling must be received no later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested funding date (or such shorter time as may be agreed to by the Agent). Notices received after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) the name of the Applicable Dutch Borrower and (D) the currency in which such Loan will be denominated (which must be a currency permitted under this Agreement for such Loan).

Such notice must be received by the Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day of the requested funding date. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing and (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day).

(e) Deemed Requests for Revolver Loans. Unless payment is otherwise timely made by each Borrower within a Borrower Group, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations of the Loan Party Group to which such Borrower Group belongs (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including unused line fees payable under Section 3.2.1, Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations and Cash Collateral) shall be deemed to be a request for Revolver Loans by such Borrower Group on the due date in the amount of such Obligations and shall bear interest at the per annum rate applicable hereunder to Base Rate Loans, in the case of such Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) owing by any Loan Party. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation.

(f) Controlled Disbursement Accounts. If any Borrower within a Borrower Group establishes a controlled disbursement account with Bank of America or any branch or Affiliate of Bank of America, then the presentation for payment of any check, ACH or electronic debit or other payment item drawn on such account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for Revolver Loans by such Borrower Group on the date of such presentation, in the amount of such payment item, and shall bear interest at the per annum rate applicable hereunder to Base Rate Loans, in the case of insufficient funds owing by any Loan Party. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders; Settlement.

(a) Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its Borrower Group Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans under such Borrower Group Commitment that is properly requested hereunder. The Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by (i) 12:00 noon (Local Time) on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans to U.S. Borrowers, (ii) 12:00 noon (Local Time) two (2) Business Days before any proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans to Foreign Borrowers, or (iii) 12:00 noon (Local Time) at least two (2) Business Days before any proposed funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Applicable Lender shall fund to the Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by the Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the requested funding date, unless the Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which event each Applicable Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Applicable Lenders, the Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by the applicable Loan Party Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from an Applicable Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Applicable Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with the Agent, and the Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower or Borrowers within such Borrower Group. If an Applicable Lender’s share of any Borrowing is not received by the Agent, then the Borrower or Borrowers within the Borrower Group jointly and severally agree to repay to the Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may, in its discretion, fund any request for a Borrowing of Revolver Loans as Swingline Loans. Each Applicable Lender at its option may make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Applicable Lender to make such LIBOR Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrowers to repay such LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) To facilitate administration of the Revolver Loans, the Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower or any other Loan Party) that settlement among them with respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans may take place on a date determined from time to time by the Agent, which shall occur at least once every (i) five (5) Business Days with respect to U.S. Swingline

Loans and any other Revolver Loans and (ii) ten (10) Business Days with respect to Dutch Swingline Loans. On each settlement date, settlement shall be made with each Lender in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the Agent to the Lenders. Between settlement dates, the Agent may in its discretion (but is not obligated to) apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by a Loan Party Agent or any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with the Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among the Lenders hereunder, then each Applicable Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the applicable Swingline Lender a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid Swingline Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the Agent’s request therefor.

4.1.3. Notices. Each Borrower authorizes the Agent and Lenders to extend Loans, convert or continue Revolver Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of applicable Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions by Loan Party Agents to the Agent. Each Loan Party Agent shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent or Lenders, the records of the Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of the Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by the Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Loan Party Agent’s behalf.

4.2. Defaulting Lender.

4.2.1. Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, the Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Pro Rata shares. If any Loan or Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then all or any part of such Loan or Letter of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, but only to the extent that such reallocation would not cause such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Dutch Revolver Loan Exposure or U.S. Revolver Loan Exposure, as applicable, to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 14.1.1(c).

4.2.2. Payments; Fees. The Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. The Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s LC Obligations, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1. If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3 shall be paid to such Lenders. The Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.

4.2.3. Cure. Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3. Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. For ease of administration, all LIBOR Loans of the same Type to a Borrower Group having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods and the same currency shall be aggregated together, and such Loans shall be allocated among the Applicable Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. With respect to any Borrower Group, no more than six (6) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers within a Borrower Group, the Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Loan Party Agent thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by such Loan Party Agent, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4. Loan Party Agents.

4.4.1. North American Loan Party Agent. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party hereby designates Kraton Polymers U.S. LLC (“North American Loan Party Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of any Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Lender. North American Loan Party Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

4.4.2. Foreign Loan Party Agent. Each Dutch Domiciled Loan Party hereby designates each of Kraton Polymers U.S. LLC and Kraton Polymers Nederland B.V. (each, a “Foreign Loan Party Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of any Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender. Foreign Loan Party Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

4.4.3. Loan Party Agents Generally. The Agent, each Security Trustee, each Fronting Bank and each Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Notice of Borrowing) delivered by a Loan Party Agent on behalf of any Loan Party. The Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank and any Lender may give any notice or communication with a Loan Party hereunder to a Loan Party Agent on behalf of such Loan Party. Each of the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank and any Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with a Loan Party Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the applicable Loan Party Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.5. One Obligation. Without in any way limiting any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, (a) the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations owing by each U.S. Facility Loan Party shall constitute one general obligation of the U.S. Facility Loan Parties and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by the Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral of each U.S. Facility Loan Party, provided that each Credit Party shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each U.S. Facility Loan Party to the extent of any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations owed by such U.S. Facility Loan Party to such Credit Party and (b) the Dutch Facility Secured Obligations owing by each Dutch Facility Loan Party shall constitute one general obligation of the Dutch Facility Loan Parties and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by the Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral of each Dutch Facility Loan Party, provided that each Credit Party shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Dutch Facility Loan Party to the extent of any Dutch Facility Secured Obligations owed by such Dutch Facility Loan Party to such Credit Party.

4.6. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of the Commitments, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Secured Bank Product Obligations (including, only with the consent of the Agent, any Treasury Management Services). All undertakings of Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents shall survive, and the Agent and Security Trustees shall retain their Liens in the Collateral and all of their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, the Agent and Security Trustees shall not be required to terminate their Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages the Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Secured Obligations, the Agent receives (a) a written agreement, executed by the relevant Loan Party Agent and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Secured Obligations, indemnifying the Agent and Lenders from any such damages; or (b) such Cash Collateral as the Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary to protect against any such damages. Sections 2.2, 2.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.10, 5.4, 5.8, 5.9, 12, 14.2 and this Section 4.6, and the obligation of each Loan Party and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Secured Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1. General Payment Provisions . All payments of Obligations shall be made without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, (other than for Taxes, as to which Section 5.8 applies), and in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of an LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.10. Any prepayment of Loans made by a Borrower Group shall be applied first to costs and expenses of the Agent and Security Trustees (including any Extraordinary Expenses) relating to such Borrower Group, second to Base Rate Loans (and the Agent may, in its discretion, apply such prepayment to Swingline Loans before other Revolver Loans) of such Borrower Group, and then to LIBOR Loans of such Borrower Group; provided, however, that as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, prepayments of LIBOR Loans may, at the option of Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group and the Agent, be held by the Agent as Cash Collateral and applied to such Loans at the end of their Interest Periods (in which case no compensation under Section 3.10 hereof shall be payable with respect

to such prepayment). All payments with respect to any U.S. Facility Obligations shall be made in Dollars and all payments with respect to any other Obligation shall be made in the currency of the underlying Obligation. Any payment made contrary to the requirements of the preceding sentence shall be subject to the terms of Section 5.11.

5.2. Repayment of Obligations.

(a) All (i) Dutch Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date and (ii) U.S. Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, in each case, unless payment of such Obligations is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium, subject to, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the payment of costs set forth in Section 3.10 (except to the extent provided in Section 5.1).

(b) If any Disposition in excess of $5,000,000 is comprised of proceeds from any U.S. Facility Collateral not in the Ordinary Course of Business, then 100% of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition of such U.S. Facility Collateral, shall be either applied to the U.S. Revolver Loans or used to Cash Collateralize the U.S. Letters of Credit, provided, that, such application to the U.S. Revolver Loans shall only occur in the event U.S. Availability (after giving pro forma effect to such proposed Disposition) is less than 15% of the U.S. Line Cap; provided, further, that the consideration for the U.S. Facility Collateral shall be 100% in cash. If any Disposition is comprised of proceeds from any Dutch Facility Collateral not in the Ordinary Course of Business, then 100% of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition shall be either applied to the Dutch Revolver Loans or used to Cash Collateralize the Dutch Letters of Credit. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time without penalty or premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers of the Borrower Group owing such Overadvance shall, on the sooner of the Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower of such Borrower Group has knowledge thereof (or, in the event such Overadvance is the result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates, within three (3) Business Days of the Agent’s demand or of any Borrower of such Borrower Group’s knowledge thereof), repay the outstanding Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the related Overadvance Loan to zero. If as a result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates or otherwise the sum of all outstanding U.S. Revolver Loans and U.S. LC Obligations exceeds the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the excess amount shall be payable by the U.S. Borrowers within three (3) Business Days following demand by the Agent.

5.3. Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents, or, if no payment date is specified, within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor by Agent.

5.4. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Agent, Security Trustees, Fronting Banks or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Secured Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers is made to the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank, or any Lender, or the Agent, any applicable Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent, such Security Trustee, such Fronting Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a Creditor Representative or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Secured Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

5.5. Post-Default Allocation of Payments.

5.5.1. Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Secured Obligations, whether arising from payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(a) with respect to monies, payments, Property or Collateral of or from the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, together with any allocations pursuant to subclause (ix) of any other clause of this Section 5.5.1:

(i) first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to the Agent or any Security Trustee, to the extent owing by any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party;

(ii) second, to all amounts owing to U.S. Swingline Lender on U.S. Swingline Loans;

(iii) third, to all amounts owing to any U.S. Fronting Bank on U.S. LC Obligations;

(iv) fourth, to all U.S. Facility Obligations constituting fees owing by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties (exclusive of any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations which are guaranteed by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties);

(v) fifth, to all U.S. Facility Obligations constituting interest owing by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties (exclusive of any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations which are guaranteed by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties);

(vi) sixth, to Cash Collateralization of U.S. LC Obligations;

(vii) seventh, to the principal amount of all U.S. Revolver Loans and all Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations of any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party (exclusive of any Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations which are guaranteed by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties as guarantors of the Foreign Facility Obligations) to the extent a U.S. Bank Product Reserve has been established with respect thereto up to and including (with respect to Secured Bank Product Providers other than Bank of America and its Affiliates) the amount most recently specified to the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof;

(viii) eighth, to all other U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (exclusive of any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations which are guaranteed by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties); and

(ix) ninth, to be applied to clause (b) below, to the extent there are insufficient funds for the Full Payment of all Secured Obligations under such clause.

(b) with respect to monies, payments, Property or Collateral of or from any Dutch Domiciled Loan Party, together with any allocations pursuant to subclause (ix) of any clause of this Section 5.5.1:

(i) first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to the Agent and the Security Trustees, to the extent owing by such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party;

(ii) second, to all amounts owing to Dutch Swingline Lender on Dutch Swingline Loans to such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party;

(iii) third, to all amounts owing by such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party to any Dutch Fronting Bank on Dutch LC Obligations of such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party;

(iv) fourth, to all Dutch Facility Obligations of such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party constituting fees (exclusive of any other Foreign Facility Obligations which are guaranteed by such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party);

(v) fifth, to all Dutch Facility Obligations of such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party constituting interest (exclusive of any other Foreign Facility Obligations which are guaranteed by such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party);

(vi) sixth, to Cash Collateralization of Dutch LC Obligations of such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party;

(vii) seventh, to the principal amount of all Dutch Revolver Loans and all Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations of such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party (exclusive of any Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations which are guaranteed by such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party) to the extent a Dutch Bank Product Reserve has been established with respect thereto up to and including (with respect to Secured Bank Product Providers other than Bank of America and its Affiliates) the amount most recently specified to the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof;

(viii) eighth, to all other Dutch Facility Secured Obligations of such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party (exclusive of any other Foreign Facility Secured Obligations which are guaranteed by such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party); and

(ix) ninth, to be applied ratably to the Secured Obligations of other Loan Parties that are the subject of a Guarantee by such Dutch Domiciled Loan Party in accordance with this Section 5.5.1 to the extent there are insufficient funds for the Full Payment of all such Secured Obligations.

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Secured Obligations set forth within subsection (a) through (b) above, as applicable, until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Secured Obligations in the category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, as the case may be, last reported to the Agent or the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, as the case may be, as calculated by the Secured Bank Product Provider and reported to the Agent for determining the amount due. The Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Party. If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five (5) Business Days following request by the Agent, the Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero (0). The allocations set forth in this Section 5.5.1 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Agent and Secured Parties as among themselves, and any allocation within subsection (a) through (b) of proceeds of the realization of Collateral may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. This Section 5.5.1 is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower.

(c) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) above, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or, for the avoidance of doubt, with proceeds of any Collateral pledged by such Guarantor, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 5.5.1.

5.5.2. Erroneous Application. The Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.6. Application of Payments. The ledger balance in the Dominion Accounts of each Borrower Group as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Loan Party Group Obligations of such Borrower Group at the beginning of the next Business Day during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, either apply the ledger balance in any Dominion Account of any Dutch Borrower to the respective Loan Party Group Obligations of such Borrower Group or direct such balances to an operating account of a member of such Borrower Group, whether or not a Cash Dominion Event exists. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group as long as no Event of Default exists. If application thereof is not otherwise specified herein or in any other Loan Documents, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that the Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as the Agent deems advisable; provided, however, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or otherwise directed by a Loan Party Agent, the Agent shall not apply any payments to any LIBOR Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

5.7. Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.7.1. Loan Account. The Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations of Borrowers within each Borrower Group resulting from each Loan made to such Borrowers or issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrowers from time to time. Any failure of the Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower to pay any amount owing hereunder. With respect to U.S. Borrowers, the Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of the North American Loan Party Agent, and each U.S. Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Secured Obligations including its guarantee of the Secured Obligations of the Foreign Borrowers.

5.7.2. Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies the Agent in writing within forty-five (45) days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.8. Taxes.

5.8.1. U.S. Tax Matters.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments of any U.S. Facility Obligation by or on behalf of any U.S. Facility Loan Party shall be free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law requires any U.S. Facility Loan Party or the Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax (including backup withholding or withholding Tax) from any payment in respect of the U.S. Facility Obligations, the U.S. Facility Loan Party or the Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable U.S. Facility Loan Party shall be increased so that the applicable Credit Parties and Security Trustees receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.8.1) had been made. Without limiting the foregoing, U.S. Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes imposed in respect of the U.S. Facility to the relevant Governmental Authorities.

(b) Payment. The U.S. Facility Loan Parties shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within ten (10) days after demand therefor) each Credit Party and each Security Trustee for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by any U.S. Facility Loan Party or the Agent, or paid by such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, with respect to any U.S. Facility Obligations, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party Agent by a Credit Party or Security Trustee (with a copy to the Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower, the relevant Loan Party Agent shall deliver to the Agent a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(c) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party hereto determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.8.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8.1(c)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (c) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph 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.

5.8.2. Dutch and Foreign Domiciled Loan Party Tax Matters. For the purposes of this Section 5.8.2 a “Relevant Borrower” shall mean the Dutch Borrowers and any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party that is required to make a Tax Deduction in accordance with Applicable Law.

(a) Tax Gross-Up

(i) All payments of any Foreign Facility Obligation by or on behalf of any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party shall be made without any Tax Deduction, unless required by Applicable Law.

(ii) The Dutch Borrowers shall promptly upon becoming aware that a Foreign Domiciled Loan Party is required by Applicable Law to make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment made payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Dutch Borrowers and that Foreign Domiciled Loan Party.

(iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by Applicable Law to be made by a Foreign Domiciled Loan Party, the amount of the payment due from that Foreign Domiciled Loan Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(b) Tax Indemnity.

(i) The Relevant Borrowers shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Lender determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Taxes by that Lender in respect of a Loan Document.

(ii) Clause (b)(i) above shall not apply:

(A) with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Lender:

(1) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which such Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(2) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

if such Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by such Lender; or

(B) to a loss, liability or cost that is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 5.8.2(a) above, or would have been compensated for by such an increased payment, but was not so compensated solely because the Lender failed to comply with Section 5.9; or

(iii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 5.8.2(b)(i) above shall promptly notify Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

(iv) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Relevant Borrowers under this Section 5.8.2(b), notify Agent.

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Lender has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit,

the Lender shall promptly following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Relevant Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Relevant Borrower.

(d) Value Added Tax.

(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, that party shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse 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 VAT; the Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(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. The Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(B) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense incurred in connection with such Loan Document, the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 5.8.2(d) 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 representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Dutch Value Added Tax Code).

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

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.8.2, a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in Section 5.8.2 means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting reasonably.

5.9. Lender Tax Information. For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “Lender” includes any Fronting Bank.

5.9.1. Generally. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a relevant Loan Party is resident for Tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Agent and the relevant Loan Party Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Agent or the relevant Loan Party Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation or such other evidence as prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition and only to the extent applicable, any Lender, if requested by the Agent or a Loan Party Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Agent or such Loan Party Agent as will enable the Agent and such Loan Party Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.9.2) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

5.9.2. U.S. Borrowers. If a Borrower is a U.S. Person, (a) any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Agent and North American Loan Party Agent IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Agent or North American Loan Party Agent to determine whether such Recipient is subject to information reporting requirements and to establish that such Recipient is not subject to backup withholding and (b) any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Agent and the North American Loan Party Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or before the date it becomes a party hereunder (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation), which ever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of an applicable treaty to which the United States is a party (A) with respect to payments of interest (or amounts deemed to be payments interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such treaty and (B) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such treaty;

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

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

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

In addition, upon request of the North American Loan Party Agent, each Recipient shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration, or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Recipient. Each Recipient shall promptly notify the North American Loan Party Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the North American Loan Party Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

5.9.3. FATCA. If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with its obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.9.3, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

5.10. Guarantees.

5.10.1. Joint and Several Liability of U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all

Secured Obligations and all agreements of each other Loan Party under the Loan Documents. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a Guarantor of the Secured Obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Secured Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by the Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Agent or any other Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guarantee); (d) the insolvency of any Loan Party; (e) any election by the Agent or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of the Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.10.2. Waivers by U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel the Agent or the other Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, the Agent and the other Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section 5.10 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) The Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral of the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, the Agent or any other Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of the Agent or any other Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the

Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Agent may bid all or a portion of the Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Agent but shall be credited against the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.10.3. Extent of Liability of U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; Contribution; Keepwell.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Secured Obligations (other than amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, exceeds the amount that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party had paid the aggregate Secured Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, then such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party under this Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party (including Loans advanced to any other Loan Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Loan Party), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Loan Party’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Secured Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Loan Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 5.10.3 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 5.10.3, or otherwise under this Guarantee, as it relates to such other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a Full Payment. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 5.10.3 constitute, and this Section 5.10.3 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

5.10.4. Joint and Several Liability of Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations and all agreements of each other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party under the Loan Documents (but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations) (the “Foreign Cross-Guarantee”). Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a Guarantor of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations of other Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by the Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect, register, stamp or terminate a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release, variation or discharge (except upon Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations) of any security or guarantee of, or the release of, any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person (other than a release of such Foreign Domiciled Loan Party) whether under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise); (iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party or any Insolvency Proceeding in relation to any Loan Party; (v) any election by the Agent or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law); (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of the Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (viii) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of, or dissolution or change in the members or status of, any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person; or (ix) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations.

(b) Without prejudice to the generality of Section 5.10.4(a) above, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party expressly confirms that it intends that the guarantee created by this Section 5.10.4 shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Loan Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Loan Documents for the purposes of or in connection with (i) acquisitions of any nature; (ii) increasing working capital; (iii) enabling investor distributions to be made; (iv) carrying out restructurings; (v) refinancing existing credit facilities; (vi) refinancing any other Debt; (vii) making credit available to new Borrowers; (viii) any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and (ix) any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

5.10.5. Waivers by Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel the Agent or the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan

Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party, the Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders (as applicable) would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit to Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties. Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section 5.10 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business and those of its direct or indirect holding companies, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) The Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, the Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and waives, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of the Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party, waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Foreign Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Agent may bid all or a portion of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale or sale as a result of an enforcement action, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Agent but shall be credited against the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.10.6. [Reserved].

5.10.7. U.S. Limitations. To the extent that an adverse Tax consequence would result, the Foreign Cross-Guarantee shall not require any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party (that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code) or any Subsidiary of any such Foreign Domiciled Loan Party to guarantee any Secured Obligations of any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party that is disregarded as an entity separate from any U.S. Subsidiary for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

5.10.8. [Reserved].

5.10.9. Subordination. Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.11. Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from Borrowers hereunder unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise agreed to by the Agent; provided that:

(a) each repayment of a Revolver Loan, LC Obligation or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Revolver Loan or LC Obligation is denominated at the time of that repayment;

(b) each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is denominated;

(c) (i) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(a) shall be in Dollars, Euros or Sterling, as applicable, which payment currency shall be at the option of the North American Loan Party Agent, and the amount of any such payment made in a currency other than Dollars determined by the Agent based on the Exchange Rate, and (ii) each payment of fees pursuant to 3.2.1(b) shall be in Dollars;

(d) each payment of fees pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 through 3.2.3 (other than Section 3.2.3(a)) shall be in the currency of the underlying Letter of Credit; and

(e) each payment in respect of Extraordinary Expenses and any other costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred by the party to whom payment is to be made.

No payment to any Credit Party or any Security Trustee (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Loan Party in respect of which it was made unless and until such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall have received Full Payment in the currency in which such obligation or liability is payable pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 5.11. The Agent has the right, at the expense of the applicable Loan Party, to convert any payment made in an incorrect currency into the applicable currency required under this Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or contingent expressed in that currency, such Loan Party (together with the other Loan Parties within its Loan Party Group or other obligors pursuant to any Guarantee of the Obligations of such Loan Party Group) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, with respect to the amount of the shortfall with respect to amounts payable by such Loan Party hereunder, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall. To the extent that the amount of any such payment to a Credit Party or a Security Trustee shall, upon an actual conversion into such currency, exceed such obligation or liability, actual or contingent, expressed in that currency, such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall return such excess to the members of the affected Borrower Group.

Any Cash Collateral may be invested, at the Agent’s discretion (and with the consent of the applicable Loan Party Agent, as long as no Event of Default exists), but the Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any Loan Party, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all (a) Secured Obligations, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party (other than Parent) hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (b) Dutch Facility Secured Obligations, each Dutch Domiciled Loan Party hereby grants to the Agent and the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the Dutch Facility Secured Parties, in each case, a continuing security interest and Lien on all Cash Collateral of such Loan Party from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether such Cash Collateral is held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise. Loan Parties organized or incorporated outside of the U.S. shall grant Liens to the applicable Security Trustee on Cash Collateral pursuant to the relevant Security Documents. The Agent and each Security Trustee may apply Cash Collateral of (i) a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party (other than Parent) to the payment of any Secured Obligations and (ii) a Dutch Domiciled Loan Party to the payment of any Dutch Facility Secured Obligations, in each case, in accordance with Section 5.5.1, as they become due and payable. Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent and the Security Trustees. No U.S. Domiciled Loan Party or other Person claiming through or on behalf of any U.S. Domiciled Loan

103

Party shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all Secured Obligations. No Dutch Domiciled Loan Party or other Person claiming through or on behalf of any Dutch Domiciled Loan Party shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all Dutch Facility Secured Obligations.

7.3. Administration.

7.3.1. After-Acquired Collateral. If after the Closing Date, any Loan Party acquires an interest with a Value in excess of $2,000,000 in (a) Chattel Paper (other than pre-buy agreements or in the Ordinary Course of Business), (b) negotiable Documents (other than in the Ordinary Course of Business), (c) Investment Property, (d) Letter-of-Credit Rights (that are not Supporting Obligations), (e) promissory notes (other than in the Ordinary Course of Business) and other Instruments (in each case, other than checks or other Instruments provided for in the ordinary course of business), in each case constituting Collateral, the applicable Loan Party Agent will notify the Agent in writing within thirty (30) days of such acquisition. Upon the Agent’s request, such Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as the Agent or its Security Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to effect a duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any appropriate possession or control agreement, as appropriate, and/or executing such additional Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agent or a Security Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.3.1 shall require any Loan Party to effectuate a security interest in any after-acquired Collateral if such security interest would violate Section 14.20 of this Agreement.

7.3.2. Commodities Account, Deposit Account or Securities Account. If after the Closing Date, any Loan Party opens or closes a Commodity Account, Deposit Account or Securities Account (in each case, other than any Excluded Account) in a Perfection Jurisdiction, in each case constituting or holding Collateral, the applicable Loan Party Agent shall notify the Agent or Security Trustee in writing within forty-five (45) days thereof and amend Schedule 8.4 to reflect the same. Upon the Agent’s or Security Trustee’s request, the Loan Party shall deliver a fully-executed Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Commodities Account Control Agreement (as applicable) within forty-five (45) days (or such longer period with the prior consent of the Agent or Security Trustee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) of the Agent’s or Security Trustee’s request and amend Schedule 8.4 to reflect the same; provided that with respect to Securities Accounts or Commodities Accounts, any such control agreement shall only be requested by Agent or the Security Trustee for Securities Accounts or Commodities Accounts, in each case, with an average monthly balance or Value in excess of $2,000,000.

7.3.3. Collateral in Possession of a Third Party. If, after the Closing Date, any Collateral constituting Inventory in a Perfection Jurisdiction with an aggregate Value exceeding $2,000,000 is in the possession of a warehouse or bailee, such Loan Party shall notify the Agent within ninety (90) days of such warehouse or bailee obtaining possession of such Inventory.

7.4. No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject the Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Loan Parties relating to any Collateral.

7.5. Further Assurances. Each Loan Party (other than Parent) will promptly execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements, title certificates, assignments and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), which may be required under any Applicable Law, or which the Agent, any Security Trustee or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party authorizes the Agent to file any financing statement that accurately describes the Collateral.

104

7.6. Termination of Security Interest.

7.6.1. All security interests granted hereby shall automatically terminate upon the Full Payment of the Secured Obligations; provided that with respect to the LC Obligations, the aggregate amount available to be drawn under any Letters of Credit has been reduced to zero (or the applicable Fronting Bank has consented to the termination as a result of the Cash Collateralization of the Letters of Credit or other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Fronting Bank) and no Fronting Bank has any further obligation to issue or amend Letters of Credit under this Agreement.

7.6.2. All security interests granted hereby shall also terminate and be released at the time or times and in the manner set forth in Section 12.3.1 of this Agreement.

7.6.3. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to Sections 7.6.1 or 7.6.2, the Agent or Security Trustee shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release so long as the applicable Loan Party shall have provided the Agent such certifications or documents as the Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Section 7.6. The covenants contained in this Section 7.6 shall survive the Full Payment of the Secured Obligations.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1. Borrowing Base Certificates. As soon as available but in any event within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month (or such longer period as the Agent may agree in its Permitted Discretion), the Loan Party Agents shall deliver to the Agent Borrowing Base Certificates covering each Borrowing Base and supporting information in connection therewith (including information regarding any retention of title from vendors to any Dutch Borrower), provided that (a) the Loan Party Agents will be required to furnish Borrowing Base Certificates for each calendar week and supporting information in connection therewith within two (2) Business Days after the end of each such calendar week after an Increased Reporting Trigger, and (b) within five (5) Business Days after consummation of any sale or disposition of Accounts or Inventory that are a part of the Collateral not in the Ordinary Course of Business resulting in net proceeds exceeding $5,000,000 (individually or in the aggregate for all such sales and dispositions since the date of the most recent Borrowing Base Certificates), the Loan Party Agents shall deliver an updated Borrowing Base Certificate giving effect to any such sale or disposition. Borrowing Base Certificates for Foreign Borrowers shall calculate an individual Borrowing Base for each Foreign Borrower on a stand-alone basis. All calculations of Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by the Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer of the applicable Loan Party Agent, provided that the Agent may from time to time review and adjust any such calculation (x) to reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral, due to collections received in the Dominion Account or otherwise; (y) to adjust advance rates and to impose additional reserves in its Permitted Discretion to reflect changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (z) to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Reserves.

105

8.2. Administration of Accounts.

8.2.1. Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to the Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, on such periodic basis as the Agent may request. Each Borrower shall provide to the Agent, on or before the 20th day of each month, a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts as of the end of the preceding month, specifying each Account’s Account Debtor name and address, amount, invoice date and due date, and, upon request by the Agent during the existence of an Event of Default, showing any discount, allowance, credit, authorized return or dispute, and including such proof of delivery, copies of invoices and invoice registers, copies of related documents, repayment histories, status reports and other information as the Agent may reasonably request. If Accounts of a Borrower in an aggregate face amount of $5,000,000 or more cease to be Eligible Accounts, then such Borrower or a Loan Party Agent shall notify the Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after such Borrower or Loan Party Agent has knowledge thereof.

8.2.2. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes, the Agent is authorized, in its discretion, if such Borrower has not paid such Taxes when due, to pay the amount thereof to the proper Governmental Authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge the Loan Parties therefor; provided, however, that neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from the Loan Parties or with respect to any Collateral.

8.2.3. Account Verification. During the continuance of an Event of Default the Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of the Agent, any designee of the Agent or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of the Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise.

(iii) Other than (until required in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 8.2.4) in relation to the Dutch Excluded Dominion Accounts, the Dutch Dominion Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and exclusive control of the Agent (or its Security Trustee) whether or not a Cash Dominion Event exists; provided that collected funds will, in the discretion of Agent, either be disbursed from such Dominion Accounts to an operating account of one of such Loan Parties or be applied to the Loans of such Loan Parties. (iv) At any time after the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Event, and while the same is continuing, the Initial Dutch Borrower shall (A) execute and deliver a duly perfected and enforceable Lien over each Dutch Excluded Dominion Account in accordance with the relevant Applicable Law and (b) procure that each Dutch Excluded Dominion Account is the subject of a Deposit Account Control Agreement. (v) If, with the prior consent of the Agent, a Dutch Dominion Account is not maintained with Bank of America, the applicable Dutch Domiciled Loan Parties, whether or not a Cash Dominion Event exists, shall ensure that such account is the subject of a Deposit Account Control Agreement which provides for all cash receipts in any such account to be swept on a daily basis to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America. (vi) If a U.S. Dominion Account is not maintained with Bank of

106

America, the Agent (or its Security Trustee) may, during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event, require immediate transfer of all cash receipts in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America. The Agent, Security Trustees and Lenders assume no responsibility to Loan Parties for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.2.5. Proceeds of Collateral. Loan Parties (other than Parent) shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to instruct that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral of Account Debtors in any Eligible Account Debtor Jurisdiction are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If any Loan Party receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in trust for the Agent and the Security Trustees and within five (5) Business Days deposit same into a Dominion Account.

The Agent may observe each physical count at its own expense or as part of an inspection, audit or field exam under Section 10.1.1.

8.3.2. Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise during the existence of a Cash Dominion Event, unless (a) such return is a return of defective Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business or (b) the aggregate Value of all such returned Inventory does not exceed during any calendar month (i) $10,000,000 so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) $5,000,000 at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

No Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in any non-exempt prohibited transaction, as that term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, except as has not or could not reasonably be expected to results in a Material Adverse Effect.

All required contributions or other payments which are due with respect to each Foreign Plan have been or will timely be made in full and there are no funding deficiencies thereunder, except to the extent any such events would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as disclosed on the Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as promulgated by the SEC, or any successor form thereof, no Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate maintains or is required to contribute to any plan which provides health, accident, or life insurance benefits to former employees, their spouses or dependents, other than in accordance with Code Section 4980B.

9.1.24. Centre of Main Interests and Establishments. For the purposes of the Insolvency Regulation, each of the Dutch Domiciled Loan Parties’ centre of main interest (as that term is used in Article 3(1) of the Insolvency Regulation) is situated in its jurisdiction of incorporation and none of them have an “establishment” (as that term is used in Article 2(h) of the Insolvency Regulation) in any other jurisdiction.

9.1.25. Pari Passu Ranking. Each Dutch Borrower’s payment obligations under the Loan Documents rank at least pari passu under the laws of the Netherlands or other applicable jurisdictions with the claims of all its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, except for obligations mandatorily preferred by law applying to companies generally.

9.1.26. Ranking. Each Foreign Security Agreement has or will have the ranking in priority which it is expressed to have in the relevant Security Document and, other than as permitted under or contemplated by the Loan Documents, it is not subject to any prior ranking or pari passu ranking Lien.

9.1.27. OFAC. No Loan Party (a) is a Person whose Property or interest in Property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed.

No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

9.1.29. Eligible Inventory. As to each item of Inventory that is identified as Eligible Inventory in a Borrowing Base Certificate submitted to the Agent, as of the date of such Borrowing Base Certificate, such Inventory is (a) to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, of good and merchantable quality, free from known defects, and (b) to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, not

SECTION 10. COVENANTS AND CONTINUING AGREEMENTS

10.1. Affirmative Covenants. The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, hereby covenant and agree that on the Closing Date and thereafter until the Commitments have terminated and Full Payment of all Obligations has occurred:

10.1.1. Inspections; Field Examinations and Appraisals.

(a) The Loan Parties will permit the Agent (including, without limitation, the Agent’s employees, agents and designated representatives) from time to time at the Loan Parties’ reasonable expense, subject (except when a Default or Event of Default exists) to reasonable advance notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours, to visit and inspect the Properties of any Loan Party, inspect, audit and make extracts from any Loan Party’s books and records, and discuss with its officers, employees, agents, advisors and independent accountants such Loan Party’s business, financial condition, assets, prospects and results of operations; provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Section 10.1.1(a) and the Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the Parent’s expense; provided further that when an Event of Default exists, the Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Parent at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Agent or any Lender from exercising such inspection rights more often at their own expense; provided however that any such additional inspections must be during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to any Loan Party to make any inspection, nor to share any results of any inspection, appraisal or report with any Loan Party. Loan Parties acknowledge that all inspections, appraisals and reports are prepared by the Agent and Lenders for their purposes, and Loan Parties shall not be entitled to rely upon them.

(b) The Borrowers will permit Agent (including the Agent’s employees, agents and designated representatives reasonably acceptable to Parent) to conduct, and will reimburse the Agent for all reasonable and documented charges, costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with (i) examinations of any Loan Party’s books and records or any other financial or Collateral matters as the Agent deems appropriate; and (ii) appraisals of Inventory; provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, only one such appraisal and one such examination per Fiscal Year shall be conducted at the Borrowers’ expense (exclusive of any appraisals and field

115

examinations conducted pursuant to Section 10.1.9); provided, further, that during an Enhanced Reporting Trigger, one additional appraisal and one additional examination per Fiscal Year may be conducted at the Borrowers’ expense (exclusive of any appraisals and field examinations conducted pursuant to Section 10.1.9); provided, further, that after an Increased Reporting Trigger, a total of up to three (3) such examinations per Fiscal Year may be conducted at the Borrowers’ expense (exclusive of any appraisals and field examinations conducted pursuant to Section 10.1.9). The foregoing shall not limit the Agent’s ability to perform additional appraisals or examinations at the sole expense of the Borrowers upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default (or if a Default or Event of Default was in existence at the time such appraisal or examination was initiated). Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Borrowers agree to pay the Agent’s then standard charges for examination and appraisal activities, including the standard charges of the Agent’s internal examination and appraisal groups, as well as the reasonable and documented charges of any third party used for such purposes. Regardless of the limitations set forth above, neither the Initial Foreign Field Exam and Appraisal nor the Initial U.S. Field Exam and inventory Appraisal will be subject to limitations set forth above nor count toward the appraisals and examination limits set forth above (except for those limitations set out in the Commitment Letter). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1.1, none of the Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) in respect of which disclosure to the Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Applicable Law or any binding agreement or (ii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

11.6. Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any a currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.6 called the “first currency”) into any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.6 called the “second currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the Agent’s spot rate of exchange for buying the first currency with the second currency prevailing at the Agent’s close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made by an Loan Party to any Credit Party or any Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in the second currency shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of any applicable Loan Parties to pay to such Credit Party or such Security Trustee any amount originally due to the Credit Party or Security Trustee in the first currency under this Agreement or any other Loan Document only to the extent of the amount of the first currency which such Credit Party or such Security Trustee is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with such Credit Party’s or such Security Trustee’s normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency falls short of the amount originally due to such Credit Party or such Security Trustee in the first currency under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Loan Parties agree that they will indemnify each Credit Party and each Security Trustee against and save such Credit Party and such Security Trustee harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of each such Loan Party separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to any Credit Party or any Security Trustee under any Loan Documents or under any such judgment or order. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by such Credit Party or such Security Trustee and Loan Parties shall not be entitled to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. If the amount of the first currency exceeds the amount originally due to a Credit Party or a Security Trustee in the first currency under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall promptly remit such excess to Loan Parties. The covenants contained in this Section 11.6 shall survive the Full Payment of the Secured Obligations.

The Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 14.1.1.

12.9.1. Resignation; Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as the Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless such successor agent is a Lender) be consented to by the Borrowers at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(g) (which consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.7, 12.15 and 14.2. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Agent by the date which is fifteen (15) Business Days following the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to such instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its

148

duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.

12.9.2. Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If the Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, the Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If the Agent so appoints a security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. The Secured Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.10. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it deems necessary concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Loan Party. Each Secured Party further acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties and the Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Secured Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party or the Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to the Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of the Agent or any of the Agent’s Affiliates.

12.11. Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.11.1. Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to the Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Agent and request for payment is made by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time), then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day. Payment by the Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by the Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to the Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

149

12.11.2. Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest, from the due date until paid in full, at the rate determined by the Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate for U.S. Base Rate Loans. In no event shall Loan Parties be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to the Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by the Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.

12.11.3. Recovery of Payments. If the Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by the Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then the Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If the Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, the Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by the Agent to any Secured Obligations are later required to be returned by the Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.12. Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders”, “Super-Majority Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America and its Affiliates in their capacities as Lenders. Each of Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, as if Bank of America was not the Agent hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. In their individual capacities, Bank of America and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Loan Parties, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Secured Party agrees that Bank of America and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party, if acquired in such individual capacity.

12.13. Agent Titles. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof, other than Bank of America, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an “Agent”, “Arranger”, “Joint Lead Arranger”, “Joint Book Manager”, “Syndication Agent” or “Documentation Agent” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

12.14. Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider that is not a Lender, by delivery of a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable Loan Party Agent, or as otherwise agreed by the Agent and such Loan Party Agent, shall agree to be bound by Section 5.3 and this Section 12. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations (except those Claims determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee).

12.15. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because (a) the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed by such Lenders (b) such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or (c) such Lender otherwise failed to comply with Section 5.9, or if the Agent reasonably

150

determined that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction or applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any expenses (including legal expenses) incurred.

12.16. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an agreement solely among the Secured Parties and the Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Secured Obligations. This Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person. As between Loan Parties and the Agent, any action that the Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Secured Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by the Secured Parties.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, the Agent, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (a) no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and Fronting Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations owing to, each Lender or Fronting Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that a failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations, and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations recorded in the Register as owing to such Person, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender or Fronting Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.2. Participations.

13.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents without notice to or consent of the Agent or any Loan Party. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Borrower Group Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and the Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.7 or 5.8 unless Loan Party Agent agrees otherwise to the grant of such participating Interest. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting

151

solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

13.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents; provided that a Lender may agree with its Participant that such Lender will not, without the consent of such Participant, consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification which (a) forgives principal, interest or fees, (b) reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Borrower Group Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, (c) postpones the Revolver Commitment Termination Date in respect of a Borrower Group in which such Participant has an interest, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or (d) releases any Loan Party, Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.

13.2.3. Benefit of Setoff. Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall have a right of setoff in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of setoff with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of setoff, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its setoff, in accordance with Section 12.6 as if such Participant were a Lender.

13.3. Assignments.

13.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Subject to Section 13.3.3 below, a Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion); (c) (i) with respect to Dutch Revolver Loans and Dutch LC Obligations, each Dutch Fronting Bank and Dutch Swingline Lender have consented thereto (which consent shall not otherwise be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) with respect to U.S. Revolver Loans and U.S. LC Obligations, each U.S. Fronting Bank and U.S. Swingline Lender have consented thereto (which consent shall not otherwise be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (d) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents as collateral security to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided, however, (1) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and owner of its interest in any Letter of Credit for all purposes hereunder, (2) no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, (3) Borrowers, the Agent, the other Lenders and Fronting Bank shall continue to deal

152

solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (4) any payment by Loan Parties to the assigning Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment, (5) no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder and (6) the Eligible Assignee will not be entitled to greater benefits under Section 5.8.2 (Dutch Tax Matters) than the assigning Lender would have been entitled unless the Loan Party Agent agrees otherwise to the grant of such assignment.

13.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to the Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit A-2 and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3.2. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, the Agent and Loan Parties shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new Revolver Notes, as applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Sections 5.8 and 5.9 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to the Agent.

13.3.3. Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to any Loan Party, Affiliate of any Loan Party, Defaulting Lender or natural person. In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to the Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as the Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Pro Rata share of all Loans and LC Obligations. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

13.3.4. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If (a) a Lender (i) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of either all Lenders or all affected Lenders was required and, in each case, Required Lenders consented (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), (ii) is a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7 or 3.8, or (b) if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Agent or a Loan Party Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptances, within twenty (20) days after the notice. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents at par, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1. Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

14.1.1. Amendment. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that:

153

(a) without the prior written consent of the Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of the Agent;

(b) (i) without the prior written consent of each affected U.S. Fronting Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), no modification shall be effective with respect to any U.S. LC Obligations or Sections 2.3.1, 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 or any other provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of any U.S. Fronting Bank and (ii) without the prior written consent of each affected Dutch Fronting Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), no modification shall be effective with respect to any Dutch LC Obligations or Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 or any other provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of the Dutch Fronting Bank;

(c) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, including a Defaulting Lender, no modification shall be effective that would (i) increase the Borrower Group Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section 4.2), (iii) extend any Revolver Commitment Termination Date or the Facility Termination Date; or (iv) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated;

(d) without the prior written consent of all (i) Lenders (except any Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 4.2), no modification shall be effective that would (A) alter Section 5.3 or waive any condition in Section 6.1; (B) amend the definitions of Pro Rata, Required Lenders or Super-Majority Lenders; (C) amend this Section 14.1.1 or Section 5.5.1 or 12.6; (D) increase the Maximum Facility Amount; (E) except as permitted under Section 10.2.2 subordinate the Agent’s Lien on any Collateral or subordinate any Obligation in right payment to any other Debt; or (F) except as permitted under Section 12.3, release all or substantially all of the Collateral; or (G) except as permitted under Section 12.3, release any Loan Party from liability for any Obligations except in connection with a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or dissolution expressly permitted in this Agreement; and (ii) U.S. Lenders (in each case except any Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 4.2), no modification shall be effective that would alter Section 7.1 (except to add Collateral); and

(e) without the prior written consent of the Super-Majority Lenders, no amendment or waiver shall be effective that would (i) amend any definition of a Borrowing Base (and the defined terms used in such definitions) or to increase the advance rates applicable to any of the Borrowing Bases if the effect of such amendment is to make more credit available or to add new types of Collateral thereunder or (ii) amend the definition of Excess Availability or any definition of Availability.

(f) 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 applicable Loan Party Agent to all applicable Revolving Lenders having Commitments with a like commitment termination date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate amounts of Commitments) and on the same terms to each such Lender within the relevant class, the applicable Borrower 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 and/or commitment termination of each such Lender’s Commitments of such class, and, subject to the terms hereof, otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate and/or fees payable in respect of such Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”; and each group of Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate “tranche”), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

154

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders;

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final commitment termination date (which shall be determined by the applicable Loan Party Agent and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer, subject to acceptance by the Extended Lenders (as hereinafter defined)), the Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Commitment (an “Extended Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Commitment”) and the related outstandings shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders) as the original Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (1) the borrowing and payments (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the commitment termination date of the non-extending tranche of Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Revolving Loans with respect to Extended Commitments after the applicable extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Commitments of such Borrower Group, (2) all applicable Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all applicable Lenders with Commitments (including Extended Commitments) in accordance with their percentage of the Commitments, (3) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and related Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the other Commitments and Loans to the same Borrower Group and (4) at no time shall there be Commitments hereunder (including Extended Commitments and any existing Revolving Commitments) which have more than four (4) different maturity dates;

(iii) if the aggregate principal amount of Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments offered to be extended by the applicable Loan Party Agent pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of Lenders respectively shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective commitment amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

(iv) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section, (A) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.1.1 or 5.2(b) and (B) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that, the applicable Loan Party Agent may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in such Loan Party Agent’s sole discretion and may be waived by such Person) of Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended 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 Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

155

(v) No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to its Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Commitments, the consent of the Fronting Bank and Swingline Lender. All Extended Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations of the applicable Borrower Group under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and secured by the applicable Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations of such Borrower Group. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the applicable Loan Party Agent (on behalf of the applicable Loan Parties) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Agent and the applicable Loan Party Agent in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of each Fronting Bank, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the applicable commitment termination date shall be re-allocated from the applicable Lenders holding non-extended Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Commitments and the terms of such participation interests shall be adjusted accordingly. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the effectiveness of each such amendment.

(vi) In connection with any Extension, the applicable Loan Party Agent shall provide Agent at least five (5) 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), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this subsection 14.1.1(f). This subsection 14.1.1(f) shall supersede any provisions of this Section 14.1.1 or Section 12.6 to the contrary.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, (ii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (A) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (iii) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (iv) the Required Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.1.1 to the contrary, (1) if the Agent and the North American Loan Party Agent shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a typographical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Agent and the North American Loan Party Agent shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Agent within ten

156

Business Days following receipt of notice thereof and (2) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of only the Agent, the North American Loan Party Agent and each Lender participating in such additional credit facility to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement for a new jurisdiction and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that the consent of all Lenders is required for an increase in the Maximum Facility Amount, subject in each case to Sections 14.1.1(a) through (f).

14.1.2. Limitations. The agreement of Loan Parties shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, the Agent, the Security Trustees and/or any Fronting Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letters or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement. No party to a Secured Bank Product Document that is not a Lender shall have any right to participate in any manner in modification of any Loan Document. The making of any Loans during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, nor to establish a course of dealing. Any waiver or consent granted by the Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

14.1.3. Payment for Consents. After the Closing Date, no Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.2. Indemnity. IN ADDITION TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.8 OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY LOAN PARTY OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, and no Loan Party shall have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee for disputes solely among Indemnitees and not relating to any act or omission of any Loan Party or its Affiliates (other than any action involving the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Swingline Lender, in each case in its capacity as such, in which case this indemnity shall apply with respect to each such Person, as applicable, to the extent otherwise available). The indemnity under this Section 14.2 shall not apply to any Taxes, other than Taxes arising with respect to a non-Tax Claim.

14.3. Notices and Communications

14.3.1. Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.4, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Loan Party, at the applicable Loan Party Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission or electronic mail, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number or electronic mail address, as applicable, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the local mail system of

157

the recipient, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery (including overnight and courier service), when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to the Agent pursuant to Sections 2.1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1.1, 3.1.2 or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at the Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by North American Loan Party Agent shall be deemed received by all Loan Parties.

14.3.2. Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as Borrower Materials, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents for execution, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.3. The Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic mail and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3. Platform. Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by the Agent to an electronic system maintained by the Agent (the “Platform”). A Loan Party Agent shall notify the Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by the Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. Borrower Materials and other information relating to this Agreement may be made available to Lenders on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include material non-public information of Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries and should not be made available to any personnel who do not wish to receive such information or who may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities with respect to any Loan Party’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s securities. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Loan Parties, Lenders or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform or delivery of Borrower Materials and other information through the Platform, except for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Agent Indemnitee.

14.3.4. Non-Conforming Communications. The Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Loan Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party.

14.4. Performance of Loan Parties’ Obligations. Subject to Sections 2.1.5 and 2.1.6, the Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Loan Parties of the applicable Loan Party Group, pay any amount or do any act required of a Loan Party under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by the Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the

158

validity or priority of the Agent’s or any Security Trustee’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of the Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be reimbursed to the Agent by Loan Parties, on demand, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by the Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5. Credit Inquiries. The Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation to) respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Loan Party or Subsidiary.

14.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

14.8. Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when the Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto and Section 6.1 is satisfied. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

14.9. Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, oral or written, among the parties relating to the subject matter thereof.

14.10. Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for the Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of the Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute the Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute control of any Loan Party.

14.11. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any Joint Lead Arranger or other agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Loan Parties and such Person; (ii) Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and Tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Loan Parties are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any Joint Lead Arranger or other agent is

159

and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Loan Parties, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any Joint Lead Arranger or other agent may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Loan Parties and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Loan Parties or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any Joint Lead Arranger or other agent with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

14.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives; provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential; (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Secured Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as this Section 14.12, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of a Loan Party Agent; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.12 or (ii) is available to the Agent, any Lender, Fronting Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Loan Parties or (i) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Loan Parties and a general description of Loan Parties’ businesses, and may use Loan Parties’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or Subsidiary relating to it or its business. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section 14.12 shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care to that it accords its own confidential information. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank acknowledges that (A) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or Subsidiary; (B) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; (C) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws.

14.13. [Reserved].

14.14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW AND FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

14.15. Consent to Forum.

14.15.1. Forum. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE

160

RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by the Agent or any Security Trustee of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction. Final judgment against a Loan Party in any action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, including the country in which such Loan Party is domiciled, by suit on the judgment.

14.15.2. Process Agent. Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Foreign Borrower and each other Loan Party organized outside the U.S. (a) irrevocably appoints the Corporation Trust Company located at Corporation Trust Center, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, as its agent for service of process in relation to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, and (b) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify such Borrower or such Loan Party of any process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

14.15.3. Waivers by Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which the Agent, each Security Trustee and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by the Agent on which a Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything the Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing the Agent or a Security Trustee to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Agent, each Security Trustee, each Fronting Bank and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that the Agent, Security Trustees, each Fronting Bank and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Loan Parties. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

14.16. Patriot Act Notice. The Agent and Lenders hereby notify Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, economic or trade sanctions and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, Tax ID number and other similar information that will allow the Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act and the AML Legislation. The Agent and Lenders may require information regarding

161

Loan Parties’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender pursuant to the terms herein, in order to comply with the Patriot Act and/or the AML Legislation.

14.17. [Reserved].

14.18. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Loan Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

14.19. Nonliability of Lenders. Neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. Each Loan Party agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender shall have liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the party from which recovery is sought. NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH INTRALINKS, SYNDTRAK OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

14.20. Restrictions on Foreign Pledges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Foreign Domiciled Loan Party shall directly or indirectly guarantee or pledge its assets, and no shares in excess of 65% of any Foreign Subsidiary shall be pledged (including an indirect pledge through the pledge of the shares of a Subsidiary that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that has no material assets other than shares in one or more Foreign Subsidiaries), in support of the U.S. Facility, the Obligations of any U.S. Borrower or any guarantee in support thereof. Additionally, no pledge or guarantee by any other entity shall be required, and no proceeds resulting therefrom shall be used, to the extent such action would result in a controlled foreign corporation (with respect to which a U.S. Borrower is a “United States shareholder” within the meaning of subpart F of the Code) holding “United States property” (pursuant to the rules of Section 956(d) of the Code). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Documents to the contrary, with respect to all Loan Documents, a payment (whether money, property or setoff) (x) by (or on behalf of) a Foreign Subsidiary, (y) resulting from enforcement of a Lien granted by, or in respect of, a Foreign Subsidiary or (z) by any Loan Party with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary’s Obligations, shall not be applied to satisfy an obligation under the U.S. Facility or a guarantee thereof (whether directly or indirectly, including by setoff) and shall not serve as Collateral therefor.

162

14.21. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
