Each of the U.S. Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that (i) it shall be liable for all
Obligations with respect to the U.S. RCF Commitments provided hereby including, without limitation,

such earlier date). |

canceled. This Incremental Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement in any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic
transmission (i.e., pdf)), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.

transmission) by the parties hereto, this Incremental Amendment may only be changed, modified or
varied by written instrument in accordance with the
requirements for the modification of Loan Documents pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit
Agreement.
