SECTION 2.04. Protective Advances.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the UK Administrative Agent is authorized by the UK Borrower and the UK Lenders, from time to time in the UK Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the UK Borrower, on behalf of all UK Lenders, which the UK Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the UK

Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the UK Revolving Loans and other UK Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the UK Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective UK Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective UK Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed an amount equal to 10% of the UK Revolving Commitments; provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective UK Advances plus the aggregate UK Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate UK Revolving Commitments. The Protective UK Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the UK Administrative Agent in and to the UK Collateral and shall constitute UK Obligations hereunder. The UK Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective UK Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required UK Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the UK Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient UK Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the UK Administrative Agent may request the UK Lenders to make a UK Revolving Loan to repay a Protective UK Advance. At any other time the UK Administrative Agent may require the UK Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Agreement, the funding of any Protective UK Advances, or any other sums to be funded by the UK Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, may be made by any branch of the US Administrative Agent located in England, Scotland or Wales.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the US Administrative Agent is authorized by each of the US Borrowers, and the US Lenders, from time to time in the US Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the US Borrowers, on behalf of all US Lenders, which the US Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the US Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other US Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the US Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective US Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective US Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed an amount equal to 10% of the US Revolving Commitments; provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective US Advances plus the aggregate US Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate US Revolving Commitments. The US Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the US Administrative Agent in and to the US Collateral and shall constitute US Obligations hereunder. The US Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective US Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required US Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the US Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient US Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the US Administrative Agent may request the US Lenders to make a US Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the US

Administrative Agent may require the US Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(e).

All Protective US Advances shall be ABR Borrowings and all Protective UK Advances shall be Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period of one month or AEBR Borrowings, as determined by the UK Administrative Agent in its discretion.

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

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

SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans.

(a) The US Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and US Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after Borrowing Representative requests an ABR Borrowing, the Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the US Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the US Borrowers, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(c). Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other ABR Loans funded by the Revolving Lenders, including without limitation the provisions of Section 4.02, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. In addition, the US Borrowers hereby authorize the Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not

later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Business Day, make available to the US Borrowers by means of a credit to the Domestic Funding Account, the proceeds of a Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that day (as determined based on notice from the Administrative Agent). The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $12,500,000. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds US Availability (after giving effect to such Swingline Loan). All Swingline Loans shall be ABR Borrowings.

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

(c) The US Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Swingline Settlement”) with the US Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the US Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the US Lenders of such requested Swingline Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the date of such requested Swingline Settlement (the “Swingline Settlement Date”). Each US Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such US Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Swingline Settlement is requested to the US Administrative Agent, to such account of the US Administrative Agent as the US Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Swingline Settlement Date. Swingline Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the US Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such US Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the US Administrative Agent by any US Lender on such Swingline Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the US Borrowing Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of the US Borrowers, in a form reasonably acceptable to the US Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. Subject to the

terms and conditions set forth herein, the UK Borrowing Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the UK Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the UK Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrowing Representative shall deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and, as applicable, the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a US Business Day or, in the case of a Letter of Credit to be issued for the account of the UK Borrower, a UK Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in Dollars (in the case of a US Borrower) or in an Optional Currency (in the case of the UK Borrower), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrowing Representative (or Borrower) also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000, (ii) the Total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the Total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base; (iii) the total UK Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the UK Revolving Commitments and the UK Borrowing Base; and (iv) the total US Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the US Revolving Commitments and the US Borrowing Base.

Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) (X) with respect to standby Letters of Credit, the date one year after the date of the issuance of such standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension), and (Y) with respect to documentary Letters of Credit, the date 180 days after the date of the issuance of such documentary Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, 180 days after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed Letter of Credits issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent that the Issuing Bank therefor has become a party to this Agreement. Each Issuing Bank and Borrower shall amend, supplement or otherwise modify each such Letter of Credit to the extent any of the terms and conditions thereof are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

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

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the US Administrative Agent or UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time or London time, as applicable, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the applicable Borrowing Representative shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time or London time, as applicable, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the applicable Borrowing Representative prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time or London time, as applicable, on (i) the Business Day that the applicable Borrowing Representative receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time or London time, as applicable, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrowing Representative receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, (x) with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of a US Borrower, the US Borrowing Representative may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the respective Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan and (y) with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of the UK Borrower, the UK Borrowing Representative may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03(a) that such payment be financed with a UK Revolving Loan consisting of a Eurocurrency Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the respective Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting UK Revolving Loan. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, and no other Borrower makes such payment on its behalf (provided, however, that the UK

Borrower shall not make any payments on behalf of any US Borrower) the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall notify each relevant Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the US Administrative Agent or UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan as contemplated in the proviso above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the US Administrative Agent, the UK Administrative Agent, the Lenders, nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), each of the Issuing Banks shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance

of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. An Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent, and the US Borrowing Representative or UK Borrowing Representative, as applicable, by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the respective Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement under such Letter of Credit, then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the US Administrative Agent (with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued on behalf of the US Borrowers), the UK Administrative Agent (with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued on behalf of the UK Borrower), the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The US Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) US Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the US Borrowing Representative receives notice from the US Administrative Agent or the Required US Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, US Lenders with US LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total US LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the US Borrowing Representative, on behalf of the US Borrowers, shall deposit in an account with the US Administrative Agent, in the name of the US Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the US Lenders (the “US LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the US LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any US Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the US Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The US Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the US Borrowers hereby grant the US Administrative Agent a security interest in the US LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the US Administrative Agent and at the US Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the US Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with US LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total US LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If any US Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

(k) UK Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the UK Borrowing Representative receives notice from the UK Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with UK LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total UK LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the UK Borrower shall deposit in an account with either the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent (as then directed by the Administrative Agents to the UK Borrowing Representative), in the name of either the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent (as then directed by the Administrative Agents to the UK Borrowing Representative) and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “UK LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent, as then applicable, as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations due and owing from the UK Borrower. The applicable Administrative Agent shall have exclusive

dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agents a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the applicable Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the UK Borrower for the UK LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with UK LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total UK LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the UK Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the UK Borrower within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each US Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., New York time, to the account of the US Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the US Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable US Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided for in Section 2.05. The US Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the respective US Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the applicable Domestic Funding Account; provided that (x) US Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) a US LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the US Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective US Advance shall be retained by the US Administrative Agent and (y) not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on each Business Day the US Administrative Agent shall, subject to the conditions of this Agreement (but without the requirement of a Borrowing Request), make available to the US Borrowers, by a credit to the applicable Domestic Funding Accounts, the proceeds of an ABR Borrowing to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on the Controlled Disbursement Accounts that day.

(b) Each UK Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., London time, to the account of the UK Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the UK Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable UK Percentage, and in the Optional Currency then specified by the UK Administrative Agent. The UK Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the UK Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the applicable UK Funding Account; provided that UK Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) a UK LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the UK Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the UK Administrative Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.07(a) hereof, commencing with the first Business Day following the Second Restatement Date, each borrowing of US Revolving Loans shall be advanced by the US Administrative Agent and each payment by any US Borrower on account of US Revolving Loans shall be applied first to those US Revolving Loans made by the US Administrative Agent. On or before 1:00 p.m., New York time, on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Second Restatement Date, the US Administrative Agent and the US Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (I) if the aggregate amount of new US Revolving Loans made by the US Administrative Agent during the preceding Week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding US Revolving Loans during such preceding Week, then each US Lender shall, upon notice of such amount from US Administrative Agent with the US Administrative Agent using its good-faith efforts to give such notice on or before 11:00 A.M. New York time on such Settlement Date (it being understood that the failure of US Administrative Agent to give such notice within the applicable time constraints shall not relieve any US Lender from providing such payments as required herein), provide the US Administrative Agent with funds in an amount equal to its Applicable US Percentage of the difference between (w) such US Revolving Loans and (x) such repayments and (II) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding US Revolving Loans during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new US Revolving Loans made during such Week, then the US Administrative Agent shall provide each US Lender with its Applicable US Commitment Percentage of the difference between (y) such repayments and (z) such US Revolving Loans.

(d) Each US Lender shall be entitled to earn interest on outstanding US Revolving Loans which it has funded at the rates herein provided, from the time it has funded through the date it has been repaid to such US Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.07(b) hereof, commencing with the first Business Day following the Second Restatement Date, each borrowing of UK Revolving Loans shall be advanced by the UK Administrative Agent and each payment by the UK Borrower on account of UK Revolving Loans shall be applied first to those UK Revolving Loans made by the UK Administrative Agent. On or before 11:00 a.m., London time, on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Second Restatement Date, the UK Administrative Agent and the UK Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (I) if the aggregate amount of new UK Revolving Loans made by the UK Administrative Agent during the preceding Week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding UK Revolving Loans during such preceding Week, then each UK Lender shall, upon notice of such amount from UK Administrative Agent (with the UK Administrative Agent providing such notice prior to 5:00 P.M. London time on the day immediately prior to such Settlement Date), provide the UK Administrative Agent with funds in an amount equal to its Applicable UK Percentage of the difference between (w) such UK Revolving Loans and (x) such repayments and (II) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding UK Revolving Loans during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new UK Revolving Loans made during such Week, then the UK Administrative Agent shall provide each UK Lender with its Applicable UK Commitment Percentage of the difference between (y) such repayments and (z) such UK Revolving Loans.

(f) Each UK Lender shall be entitled to earn interest on outstanding UK Revolving Loans which it has funded at the rates herein provided, from the time it has funded through the date it has been repaid to such UK Lender.

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

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

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Such Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such

portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrowing Representative shall notify the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the US Administrative Agent (or UK Administrative Agent, as applicable) of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the US Administrative Agent (or UK Administrative Agent, as applicable) and signed by such Borrowing Representative.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, an AEBR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then (x) in the case of a US Borrower, such US Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration and (y) in the case of the UK Borrower, the UK Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month or deemed to have requested a conversion of such Eurocurrency Borrowing into an AEBR Borrowing, as determined by the UK Administrative Agent in its discretion.

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

(e) If the applicable Borrowing Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (x)

each Eurocurrency Borrowing which is a US Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (y) each Eurocurrency Borrowing which is a UK Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month or converted to an AEBR Borrowing, as determined by the UK Administrative Agent in its discretion. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and either (i) the US Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required US Lenders, so notifies the US Borrowing Representative or (ii) the UK Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required UK Lenders, so notifies the UK Borrowing Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Eurocurrency US Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) each UK Borrowing shall be limited to Interest Periods of one month or be converted to AEBR Borrowings, as determined by the UK Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.09. Termination, Increase, or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) SYX may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the US Administrative Agent (and/or the UK Administrative Agent, as then determined by the US Administrative Agent) of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the US Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the US Administrative Agent and the UK Administrative Agent) equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, including applicable Prepayment Fee (if any), and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. It being understood and agreed that SYX may only terminate the US Revolving Commitments so long as at the same time SYX is terminating the UK Revolving Commitments.

(c) SYX or the UK Borrower may at any time terminate the UK Revolving Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding UK Revolving Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued on behalf of the UK Borrower (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the UK Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the UK Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the UK Administrative Agent) equal to 105% of the UK LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, including applicable Prepayment Fee (if any), and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations (other than US Obligations) together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(d) (1) The Borrowers may at any time, by written notice to the Administrative Agents, request that the Administrative Agents increase the Total Revolving Commitment (which may be apportioned either (x) on a pro rata basis between the US Revolving Commitment and the UK Revolving Commitment or (y) otherwise as may be requested by the

Borrowers and agreed to by the Administrative Agents in their sole discretion, exercised in a reasonable manner)(a “Revolver Increase”) by (i) adding one or more new lenders to the revolving credit facility under this Agreement (each a “New Lender”) who wish to participate in such Revolver Increase and/or (ii) increasing the Commitments of one or more Lenders party to this Agreement who wish to participate in such Revolver Increase; provided, however, that (A) the Borrowers may only add a New Lender if, and only to the extent, there is insufficient participation on behalf of the existing Lenders, (B) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or as of the effective date of such Revolver Increase (the “Increase Date”) or shall occur as a result thereof, (C) any New Lender that becomes party to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) shall satisfy the requirements of Section 9.04(b) hereof and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents and consented to by the Borrowers, and (D) the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.09(d) are satisfied. The Administrative Agents shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the syndication of any Revolver Increase. The Administrative Agents shall promptly inform the Lenders of any such request made by the Borrowers. The aggregate amount of Revolver Increases shall not exceed $75,000,000 and no single such Revolver Increase shall be for an amount less than $15,000,000. The Borrowers may not make more than three (3) requests for a Revolver Increase during the term of this Agreement.

(2) On each Increase Date, (i) each New Lender that has chosen to participate in such Revolver Increase shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.09(d)(1) hereof, become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and shall have a Commitment in an amount equal to its share of the Revolver Increase and (ii) each Lender that has chosen to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) will have its Commitment increased by the amount of its share of the Revolver Increase as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have (y) received from the Borrowers all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents or any Lender in connection with such Revolver Increase, including pursuant to Section 2.17 hereof, and (z) received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) certified copies of resolutions of the governing body of each Borrower approving the Revolver Increase and the corresponding modifications, if any, to the Loan Documents required under subclause (vi) below, together with a certificate of each Borrower certifying that there have been no changes to the constitutive documents of such Borrower since the Second Restatement Date, or if there have been changes, copies certified by such Borrower of all such changes;

(ii) an assumption agreement from each New Lender participating in the Revolver Increase, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such New Lender, the Administrative Agents and the Borrowers;

(iii) confirmation from each Lender participating in the Revolver Increase of the increase in the amount of its Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agents;

(iv) a certificate of SYX certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result of such Revolver Increase;

(v) a certificate of SYX certifying that the representations and warranties made by each Borrower herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and complete in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, to the extent any such representation or warranty specifically relates to an earlier date, such representation or warranty is true and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(vi) supplements or modifications to the Loan Documents and such additional Loan Documents, including any new Notes to New Lenders and replacement Notes to Lenders that agree to participate in such Revolver Increase, that the Administrative Agents reasonably deem necessary in order to document such Revolver Increase and otherwise assure and give effect to the rights of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders in the Loan Documents; and

(vii) such other documents, instruments and information as the Administrative Agents or their counsel shall reasonably deem necessary in connection with the Revolver Increase.

(3) On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.09(d), the Administrative Agents shall (i) effect a settlement of all outstanding Loans among the Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to the Commitments of the Lenders as a result of the Revolver Increase and (ii) notify the Lenders, any New Lenders participating in the Revolver Increase and the Borrowers, on or before noon (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Revolver Increase to be effected on such Increase Date.

(e) The US Borrowing Representative may from time to time reduce the US Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the US Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, (ii) at the time of the reduction of the US Revolving Commitments the UK Borrower shall request a pro rata reduction of the UK Revolving Commitments (unless the UK revolving Commitments had been previously terminated or the UK Revolving Commitments then outstanding exceed the amount of the reduction of the US Revolving Commitments in which case the UK Borrower shall request that the UK Revolving Commitments be terminated) and (iii) the US Borrowing Representative shall not reduce the US Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base Availability.

(f) The UK Borrowing Representative may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the UK Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the UK Borrowing Representative shall not reduce the UK Revolving Commitments if,

after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base Availability.

(g) The applicable Borrowing Representative shall notify the Administrative Agents of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b), (c), (e) or (f) of this Section or increase under paragraph (d) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination, reduction or increase, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agents shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by a Borrowing Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by a Borrowing Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrowing (by notice to the Administrative Agents on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

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

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

(c) From and after either (x) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or (y) at the discretion of the US Administrative Agent, the occurrence of any other Full Cash Dominion Event, on each US Business Day, at or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, the US Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Account, as defined in the Security Agreement, first to prepay any Protective US Advances that may be outstanding, second to prepay the US Revolving Loans and third to cash collateralize outstanding US LC Exposure. On each UK Business Day, at or before 11:00 a.m., London time, the UK Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 5.17, apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Account maintained with the UK Administrative Agent in Sterling (or such other Collection Account as may be opened for such purchase by the UK Administrative Agent), first to prepay any Protective UK Advances that may be outstanding and second to prepay the UK Revolving Loans and third to cash collateralize outstanding UK LC Exposure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default is not continuing, the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, either (i) waive the requirement for cash collateralization or (ii) release to the applicable Borrower, within three

Business Days after such Borrower shall request a release of such funds from the cash collateral account, funds previously credited to cash collateralize outstanding US LC Exposure or UK LC Exposure.

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

(e) Each of the US Administrative Agent and the UK Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each US Revolving Loan made hereunder (in the case of the US Administrative Agent) and UK Revolving Loan (in the case of the UK Administrative Agent), the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each relevant Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the US Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the respective Lenders and each respective Lender’s share thereof.

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

(g) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to any Borrower or Borrowers be evidenced by a promissory note (“Notes”). In such event, each of the applicable Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the US Administrative Agent or UK Administrative Agent, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that the total US Revolving Exposure (with the US LC Exposure determined net of any funds then on deposit in a US LC Collateral Account) exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate US Revolving Commitments or (B) the US Borrowing Base, the US Borrowers shall prepay the US Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In the event and on such occasion that the total UK Revolving Exposure (with the UK LC Exposure determined net of any funds then on deposit in a UK LC Collateral Account) exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate UK Revolving

Commitments or (B) the UK Borrowing Base, the UK Borrower shall prepay the UK Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of SYX or any other Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by SYX or any other Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(e) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds, provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if SYX shall deliver to the Administrative Agents a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the applicable Loan Parties intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 90 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace or rebuild) Real Property, Equipment or other tangible assets (excluding Inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then either (i) so long as a Full Cash Dominion Event has not occurred, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate or (ii) if a Full Cash Dominion Event has occurred, if the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate are to be applied by (A) the applicable US Borrower, then such Net Proceeds shall be applied by the US Administrative Agent to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the US Revolving Loans (without a permanent reduction of the US Revolving Commitment) and upon such application, the US Administrative Agent shall establish a Reserve against the US Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds so applied, (B) the UK Borrower, then such Net Proceeds shall be applied by the UK Administrative Agent to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the UK Revolving Loans (without a permanent reduction of the UK Revolving Commitment) and upon such application, the UK Administrative Agent shall establish a Reserve against the UK Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds so applied and (C) any Loan Party that is not a Borrower, then such Net Proceeds shall be deposited in a cash collateral account and in either case, thereafter, such funds shall be made available to the applicable Loan Party as follows:

(1) the applicable Borrower shall request a Revolving Loan (specifying that the request is to use Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section) or the applicable Loan Party shall request a release from the cash collateral account be made in the amount needed;

(2) so long as the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been met, the applicable Lenders shall make such Revolving Loan or the applicable Administrative Agent shall release funds from the cash collateral account; and

(3) in the case of Net Proceeds applied against a Revolving Loan, the Reserve established with respect to such proceeds shall be reduced by the amount of such Revolving Loan;

provided that to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 90-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; provided, further that the Borrowers shall not be permitted to make elections to use Net Proceeds to acquire (or replace or rebuild) Real

Property, Equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) with respect to Net Proceeds in any fiscal year in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000.

(d) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding with respect to the applicable Borrower, second to prepay the Revolving Loans due and owing from such applicable Borrower without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and third to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower. If the precise amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds allocable to Inventory as compared to Equipment, Fixtures and Real Property is not otherwise determined, the allocation and application of those proceeds shall be determined by the US Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default is not continuing, the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, either (i) waive the requirement for cash collateralization or (ii) release to the applicable Borrower, within three Business Days after such Borrower shall request a release of such funds from the cash collateral account, funds previously credited thereto.

(e) SYX shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Class and Type as provided in Section 2.02.

The applicable Alternate US Base Rate, Alternate Eurocurrency Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by an Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the US Administrative Agent and/or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the US Administrative Agent and/or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, is advised by the Required US Lenders and/or Required UK Lenders, respectively, that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the US Administrative Agent and/or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall give notice thereof to the US Borrowing Representative and the UK Borrowing Representative, respectively, and the affected Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the US Administrative Agent and/or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, notifies such Borrowing Representative and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be

ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Alternate Eurocurrency Base Rate) or the UK Mandatory Costs; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the US Borrowers (if such Lender or Issuing Bank is a US Lender or Issuing Bank in the United States) or the UK Borrower (if such Lender or Issuing Bank is a UK Lender or Issuing Bank in the United Kingdom) will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the affected Borrowing Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The US Borrowers or

the UK Borrower, as applicable, shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that neither the US Borrowers nor the UK Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(g) or 2.11(e) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The relevant Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agents, the Lenders or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would

have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If any Indemnified Taxes are required to be deducted in respect of any payment made to a Lender as a result of the application of Section 2.24 (including any payment made by a Lender to another Lender in respect of that Lender’s participating interest pursuant to Section 2.24(b)), the applicable US Borrower (in the case of Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted by the United States or any political subdivision thereof) or the UK Borrower (in the case of Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted by the United Kingdom or any political subdivision thereof) shall pay an additional amount so that after making all the required deductions, including deductions applicable to additional amounts required under this Section 2.17(a), such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(d) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Borrowers and each Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or either Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrowers or either Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(f). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes each Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to either Administrative Agent under this Section 2.17(d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority and after a request by any Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall deliver to the US Administrative Agent and/or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such

Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such US Administrative Agent or UK Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Subject to paragraph (ii) below any, Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the US Administrative Agent or the UK Administrative Agent, as applicable), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender has received written notice from such Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation.

(ii) Nothing in the immediately preceding paragraph above shall require a Treaty Lender to:

(1) register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme;

(2) apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any Loan if it has so registered; or

(3) file Treaty forms (A) if it has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with paragraph (j) below or paragraph (o) or (B) notified the UK Borrower of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence pursuant to paragraph (l) below, and the UK Borrower has not complied with its obligations under paragraph (k), paragraph (m) or paragraph (p) below.

(g) If the US Administrative Agent, the UK Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund from a Governmental Authority of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by such Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at such Borrower’s expense. If the US Administrative Agent, UK Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for a refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower in which such Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of such US Administrative Agent, UK Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that such Borrower, upon the request of the applicable US Administrative

Agent, UK Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus penalties, interest and other charges, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the US Administrative Agent and UK Administrative Agent) to such US Administrative Agent, UK Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank if such US Administrative Agent, UK Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.17 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans and LC Disbursements made hereunder.

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 2.17 shall require the US Administrative Agent, the UK Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be confidential or proprietary).

(j) Each Treaty Lender which becomes a party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which then wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the UK Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name on the Commitment Schedule.

(k) Where a Lender includes the indication described in paragraph (j) above on the Commitment Schedule, the UK Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the date of this Agreement and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.

(m) Where a Lender notifies the Borrower of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence pursuant to paragraph (l) above, the UK Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of that date and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.

(e) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that

the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(f) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrowing Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders or Issuing Bank hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the respective Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to such Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the US Administrative Agent or UK Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then:

(a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations

hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment);

(b) a Borrowing Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, require such Lender or any Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder (herein, a “Departing Lender”), upon notice to the Departing Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrowing Representative shall have received the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the relevant Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(1) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their

respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and

(2) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the US Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) and (k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(3) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.20(c), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(4) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or

(5) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) The Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) in the event and on the date that each of the US Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase

at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the US Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, any Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by any Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.22. Money of Account, etc. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or the applicable Optional Currency is of the essence, and Dollars or the applicable Optional Currency, as specified herein, shall be the currency of account and of payment in all events. The payment obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars or, as the case may be, the applicable Optional Currency under normal banking procedures shall not yield the amount of Dollars or such Optional Currency, as the case may be, due hereunder. In the event that any payment made in a currency other than Dollars or an Optional Currency, as the case may be, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion shall not yield such amount of Dollars or such Optional Currency, the applicable Lenders shall be entitled to demand immediate payment of, and shall have a separate cause of action for, the US Dollar or the applicable Optional Currency deficiency.

SECTION 2.23. Currency Fluctuations, etc.

(a) Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Calculation Date, the US Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09 and Section 2.24, the Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective on the first US Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date.

(b) Not later than 5:00 p.m., London time, on each Reset Date, the US Administrative Agent shall consult with the UK Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agents shall determine the total UK Exposure (both in Dollars and in Optional Currency) and the total US Exposure.

(c) If, on any Reset Date, the total UK Exposure exceeds the total UK Commitments, then (i) the UK Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the UK Borrower and the UK Lenders and (ii) within two UK Business Days thereafter, the UK

Borrower shall repay or prepay UK Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the total UK Exposure (expressed in Optional Currency) shall not exceed the total UK Commitments.

(d) To the extent the repayments and prepayments referenced in paragraph (c) do not result in a total UK Exposure (expressed in Optional Currency) that is less than or equal to the total UK Commitments, then the Borrowers shall provide cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.06(j) to the extent required to obtain such result.

SECTION 2.24. Consolidation of Credit Facilities.

(a) Notwithstanding noncompliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, if (i) an Event of Default pursuant to clause (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII shall have occurred, or (ii) the Commitments shall have been terminated and/or the Loans shall have been declared immediately due and payable pursuant to Article VII, then, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second US Business Day (the “Consolidation Date”) immediately succeeding the first to occur of (A) the date on which such Event of Default occurs (in the case of clause (i) above), or (B) the date on which such termination and/or declaration occurs (in the case of clause (ii) above), subject to Section 2.24(b), the following shall occur:

(1) SYX, in its capacity as a Guarantor, shall repay all outstanding UK Revolving Loans and all unreimbursed UK LC Disbursements, and pay all accrued fees payable by the UK Borrower and shall cause the US Borrowers to repay all outstanding US Revolving Loans and all unreimbursed US LC Disbursements and pay all accrued fees payable by the US Borrowers hereunder (without prejudice to the rights of the US Borrowers to finance such repayments by borrowing US Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement after giving effect to the adjustment of Commitments as provided below, if the US Commitments remain in effect and the conditions to such Borrowing are satisfied);

(2) if, as of the Consolidation Date, the US Commitments remain in effect, then:

(A) the total US Commitments shall increase by the Dollar Equivalent of the total UK Commitments, but without increasing the US Commitment of any US Lender; and

(B) each UK Lender (or an affiliate thereof designated by such UK Lender) shall become a US Lender with a US Commitment equal to the amount of its former UK Commitment, and its UK Commitment shall terminate, if not previously terminated; and

(C) SYX shall become the account party in respect of all UK Letters of Credit (with the result that each UK Letter of Credit shall become a US Letter of Credit) and the Lenders’ participations in Letters of Credit shall be adjusted so that, as of the Consolidation Date, the US LC Exposure of each Lender shall equal its Applicable Percentage of the

aggregate US LC Exposure at the time (determined as though Commitments had been consolidated as US Commitments as provided in clause (2) above, even if such Commitments have been terminated).

The foregoing actions shall result in, and the parties hereto shall take such actions as shall be necessary to result in, all UK Lenders becoming US Lenders, all UK Letters of Credit becoming US Letters of Credit, all UK Revolving Loans being repaid, and any and all US Revolving Loans and US LC Exposure being held by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their US Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, in accordance with their ratable interests as though the Commitments had not terminated and had been converted to US Commitments as provided above). After giving effect to the foregoing, in the event that any LC Disbursement is made in Optional Currency, any payment required to be made by the Borrowers or the Lenders hereunder in respect of such LC Disbursement shall be payable in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (based on the Exchange Rate determined by the US Administrative Agent on the US Business Day immediately preceding such payment date) of the amount otherwise payable in Optional Currency. For purposes of this Section 2.24(a) (other than in the immediately preceding sentence), the Dollar Equivalent shall be determined based upon the Exchange Rate in effect on the Second Restatement Date.

(b) If any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (a) above occurs and the Required Lenders elect to apply the provisions of this paragraph (b) in lieu of the provisions of paragraph (a) above, or for any reason the actions specified in paragraph (a) above cannot be taken or accomplished, then the following provisions shall apply:

(1) all Commitments shall terminate;

(2) each US Lender shall purchase a participation in each UK Revolving Loan, and unreimbursed UK LC Disbursement, and each UK Lender shall purchase a participation in each US Revolving Loan and unreimbursed US LC Disbursement, and each Lender holding such a Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement agrees to sell such participations therein, in each case in such amount as shall be necessary so that the US Revolving Loans and participations therein, the UK Revolving Loans and participations therein, and the LC Disbursements and participations therein, are held ratably by the Lenders (it being understood that the ratable interests of the Lenders shall be determined by the Administrative Agents on the basis of the Dollar Equivalent or Optional Currency Equivalent, as applicable, of their respective Commitments at the time of termination thereof); and

(3) the Lenders’ participations in Letters of Credit shall be adjusted so that the US LC Exposure and the UK LC Exposure of each Lender shall be ratable (determined as provided in clause (2) above).

The foregoing actions shall result in, and the Lenders shall take such actions as shall be necessary to result in, any and all US Revolving Loans, UK Revolving Loans, US LC Exposure and UK LC Exposure being held, directly or indirectly (through participations) by the Lenders ratably on the basis of their respective Commitments at the time of termination thereof. For

purposes of this Section 2.24(b), (i) the purchase and sale of participations shall be at a price calculated on the basis of the principal amount thereof but without interest (it being understood that any recovery of interest accrued thereon prior to the date of sale of such participations shall be for the account of the Lender selling such participation) and (ii) the purchase and sale of participations pursuant to clause (2) above shall be made in the same currency in which the applicable Loan, or LC Disbursement is denominated; provided that if a US Lender is unable for any reason (including lack of participation by such US Lender in foreign exchange markets) to obtain or apply Optional Currency to purchase participations in Loans or LC Disbursements that are denominated in Optional Currency, as required by clause (2) above, such US Lender shall be permitted to make such purchase payments in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount otherwise payable in Optional Currency hereunder. The provisions of this Section 2.24(b) are solely for the benefit of the Lenders, shall not be enforceable by any Borrower and, notwithstanding any contrary provisions herein, may be amended, modified or waived by agreement among the Lenders without any consent or approval of any Borrower.

The Borrowers will furnish to the Lenders, upon request of any Administrative Agent, information in reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained.

(b) Fire and extended coverage policies with respect to any Collateral (i) shall not include a provision to the effect that any of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents or any other party shall be a coinsurer and (ii) shall be endorsed, which endorsement shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agents, to name the Administrative Agents, for the benefit of the Lenders, as additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate, and shall include such other provisions as the Administrative Agents may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the Lenders, provided that the requested provisions are available at reasonable cost. Each such policy referred to in this paragraph also shall provide that it shall not be cancelled, modified or not renewed (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium except upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agents (giving the Administrative Agents the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for any other reason except upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agents.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Loan Party shall provide the US Administrative Agent and each Lender with any and all information reasonably requested by the US Administrative Agent to contact directly each Loan Party’s vendors and suppliers. The Loan Parties acknowledge that any Administrative Agent, after exercising its rights of inspection, may prepare and distribute to the Lenders certain Reports pertaining to the Loan Parties’ assets for internal use by any Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(b) SYX will, and will cause each of the other Loan Parties to, permit any representatives designated by either Administrative Agent (including any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by such Administrative Agent) in consultation with the Borrowers to conduct evaluations and appraisals of the computation of the Borrowing Base

and the assets included therein, including supporting systems, processes and controls, all at reasonable times but no more frequently than annually in any period of 12 consecutive months commencing on or after the Second Restatement Date; provided, however, that such evaluations and Collateral reviews may be conducted semi-annually if Borrowing Base Availability at any time is less than the greater of (x) 20% of the then applicable aggregate Commitment or (y) $25,000,000 and at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. SYX shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any representatives retained by an Administrative Agent, or employees of such Administrative Agent, to conduct any such evaluation or appraisal, including reasonable and customary internally allocated fees and expenses of such employees.

Upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person (i) shall automatically become a Loan Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Loan Documents and (ii) will grant Liens to the applicable Administrative Agents, for the benefit of the such Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders, in any property of such Loan Party which constitutes Collateral,

103

including any parcel of Real Property or heritable property located in the US or UK owned by any Loan Party.

(b) SYX and each other Loan Party (other than the UK Borrower) will cause 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each of its domestic Subsidiaries to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien in favor of the US Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or other security documents as the US Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. SYX will cause 65% (or such greater percentage that, due to a change in applicable law after the date hereof, (1) could not reasonably be expected, in the US Borrowing Representative’s discretion, to cause the undistributed earnings of such foreign Subsidiary as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such foreign Subsidiary’s U.S. parent and (2) could not reasonably be expected, in the US Borrowing Representative’s discretion, to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2) and 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests not entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) in UK Borrower to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien in favor of the US Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Pledge or other security documents as the US Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(c) UK Borrower will cause 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each of its Subsidiaries to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien (to the extent that Lien may be granted and perfected by the Debenture or other document governed by the laws of England, Scotland and Wales) in favor of the UK Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or other security documents as the UK Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, SYX will, and will cause each of the other Loan Parties to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agents such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable), which may be required by law or which any Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(e) If any material assets (including any Real Property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by any US Borrower or any US Subsidiary thereof that is a Loan Party after the Second Restatement Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreement that become subject to the Lien in favor of the US Administrative Agent upon acquisition thereof), the applicable Borrower will notify the US Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the US Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the applicable Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take, and cause such Subsidiary to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the US Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such

104

Liens, including actions described in paragraph (b) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(f) If any material assets (including any Real Property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by UK Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof that is a Loan Party after the Second Restatement Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Debenture that become subject to the Lien in favor of the UK Administrative Agent upon acquisition thereof), UK Borrower will notify the UK Administrative Agent and the UK Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the UK Administrative Agent or the Required UK Lenders, the UK Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations owed by the UK Borrower and will take, and cause such Subsidiary to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the UK Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (c) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

SECTION 5.17. Full Cash Dominion; Collateral Deposit Account; Lock Boxes, Collections, Etc.

(a) All cash, checks or other similar payments relating to or constituting payments made in respect of the Collateral will be deposited by the Borrowers into a deposit account which shall be subject to a Control Agreement (a “Collateral Deposit Account”), which Collateral Deposit Accounts are identified as such on Schedule 5.17. All funds deposited into a Collateral Deposit Account will be (a) prior to the occurrence of a Full Cash Dominion Event, available for withdrawal by Borrowers and (b) subsequent to the occurrence of a Full Cash Dominion Event, Borrowers shall have no access to the funds contained in the Collateral Deposit Accounts and such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into a collection account, in the name of Chase, maintained by the Borrowers with Chase (the “Collection Account”).

(b) Following the occurrence of a Full Cash Dominion Event, each Borrower shall direct all of its Account Debtors to forward payments directly to a lock box service (the “Lock Boxes”) with the bank(s) set forth in Schedule 5.17, which lock boxes shall be subject to irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agents and shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the Lock Box is located of the Lien of the Administrative Agents granted under the Loan Documents and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to the Collection Account (a “Lock Box Agreement”). The Administrative Agents shall have sole access to the Lock Boxes at all times and each Borrower shall take all actions necessary to grant the Administrative Agents such sole access. At no time shall any Borrower remove any item from the Lock Box or, following the occurrence of a Full Cash Dominion Event, from a Collateral Deposit Account, without the Administrative Agents’ prior written consent. If any Borrower should refuse or neglect to notify any Account Debtor to forward payments directly to a Lock Box subject to a Lock Box Agreement after notice from an Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary be entitled to make such notification directly to Account Debtor. If notwithstanding the foregoing instructions, any Borrower receives any proceeds of any Collateral, such Borrower shall receive such payments as the Administrative Agent’s trustee, and shall immediately deposit all cash, checks or other similar payments related to or constituting payments made in respect of Collateral received by it to a Collateral Deposit

105

Account. All funds deposited into any Lock Box subject to a Lock Box Agreement will be swept on a daily basis into the Collection Account.

(c) Before opening or replacing any Collateral Deposit Account or establishing a new Lock Box, each Borrower shall (a) obtain the Administrative Agents’ consent in writing to the opening of such Collateral Deposit Account or Lock Box, and (b) cause each bank or financial institution in which it seeks to open (i) a Collateral Deposit Account, to enter into a Control Agreement with the Administrative Agents in order to give the Administrative Agents UCC Control of such Collateral Deposit Account, or (ii) a Lock Box, to enter into a Lock Box Agreement with the Administrative Agents in order to give the Administrative Agents UCC Control of the Lock Box. In the case of Collateral Deposit Accounts or Lock Boxes maintained with Lenders, the terms of such letter shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement regarding setoffs.

(d) The Administrative Agents shall hold and apply funds received into the Collection Account as provided by the terms of this Section 5.17(d). All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agents in accordance with Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement and shall, after having been credited in immediately available funds to the Collection Account, be applied (and allocated) by the Administrative Agents in accordance with Section 2.09 or 2.17(b), as the case may be; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, collections of the UK Borrower which are received into the Collection Account, and which exceed the then outstanding AEBR Loans, shall remain in the Collection Account until the next day on which there is outstanding a Eurocurrency Loan to which such funds may be applied. The Administrative Agent shall require all other cash proceeds of the Collateral, which are not required to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.17(b), as the case may be, to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Borrower shall have control whatsoever over said cash collateral account. Any such proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied in the order set forth in Section 2.17 unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct. The balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied, shall be deposited by the Administrative Agents into the Borrowers’ general operating account with the applicable Administrative Agent. Each Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Administrative Agents or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

(e) Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by the applicable Administrative Agent on the date received. In consideration of each Administrative Agent’s agreement to conditionally credit the applicable Collateral Deposit Account or Collection Account as of the Business Day on which such Administrative Agent receives those checks, notes, drafts or other items of payment, each Borrower agrees that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by each Administrative Agent on account of the respective Obligations two (2) Business Days after confirmation to the applicable Administrative Agent by the bank in which a Lock Box or other account of a Borrower is maintained that such items of payment have been collected in good funds and finally credited to Agent’s account, provided, however, that if Chase is the bank in

106

which such Lock Box or other account is maintained, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by the applicable Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations two (2) Business Days after such items have been collected in good funds. No Administrative Agent is required to credit any Collection Account or any other account maintained for any Borrower for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to such Administrative Agent and the applicable Administrative Agent may charge any Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to any Administrative Agent unpaid.

SECTION 5.18. Benefit Plans Payments. The Loan Parties and all ERISA Affiliates shall make all required contributions under any Foreign Employee Benefit Plan or Plans which, if not made, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect unless such payment is being contested pursuant to Section 5.05.

An Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Administrative Agent.

Each Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by each Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of (i) each Administrative Agent and (ii) any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Administrative Agent.

121

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, an Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the other Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowing Representatives. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowing Representatives, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank with an office in New York, New York and/or a successor UK Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank with an office in London, England, as applicable, or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of any Administrative Agent; (b) each Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agents undertake no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold each Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

122

The UK Borrower has requested that the UK Administrative Agent provide daily advice on each UK Business Day setting forth the UK Availability. The UK Administrative Agent shall not have any liability if it fails to provide such advice on any day. In addition, to the extent the UK Administrative Agent provides such advice, the UK Administrative shall not have any liability to any party in connection with such advice, including but not limited to, whether the information in such advice is accurate.

Xxxxxx Securities Inc. as “Sole Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger”, and (ii) HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and Xxxxx Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as “syndication agent”, “documentation agent” or “Co-Agents” shall not confer upon any of such entities any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders, or Affiliates thereof, so identified as a “co-agent”, “lead arranger”, “bookrunner” “syndication agent”, or “documentation agent” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided that if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

An Administrative Agent or either Borrowing Representative (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at

its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by an Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether an Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent that is a party thereto and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the Administrative Agents may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.04), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (e) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan

126

Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) except as provided in clauses (d) and (e) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender or (ix) effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms affects the US Lenders only without the prior written consent of the Required US Lenders, or affects the UK Lenders only without the prior written consent of the Required UK Lenders or affects the rights and interests of US Lenders differently than those of UK Lenders, or affects the rights and interests of UK Lenders differently than those of US Lenders, without in any such case the prior written consent of the both the Required US Lenders and the Required UK Lenders, as separate classes; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of each Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank). The US Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agents, at their option and in their sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agents by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all undrawn Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the stated amount of each thereof in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the applicable Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and such Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agents will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agents may in their discretion, release their Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $2,500,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then a Borrowing Representative may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowing Representatives and the Administrative Agents shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment

127

and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by either Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by such Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;

(iii) lien and title searches and title insurance;

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agents’ Liens;

(v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and

128

(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the applicable Borrower as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.19(c).

(b) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agents, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless (on an after tax basis) from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and/or to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to the Administrative Agents the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrowers for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to an Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro-rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the total Commitment at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Borrowers shall assert, and each of the Borrowers hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct

129

or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (e) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it and its participation in Letters of Credit); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or if an Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing, each of SYX, the Administrative Agents and the Issuing Banks must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender to be assigned to an assignee other than a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$5,000,000 unless each of SYX and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consent to a lesser amount, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (iii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (iv) each partial assignment shall be made as a pro rata assignment of the assigning Lender’s (X) UK Revolving Commitment, UK Revolving Exposure and UK LC Exposure, and (Y) US Revolving Commitment, US Revolving Exposure and US LC Exposure, (v) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 (except such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by any Lender to any of its affiliates or an assignment pursuant to Sections 2.08 or 2.18) and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative

130

Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and provided further that any consent of SYX otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recordation in the Register pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five US Business Days (or, if the assignee is a UK Lender, five UK Business Days) after the execution and recordation thereof, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c) The UK Administrative Agent shall furnish to the US Administrative Agent a copy of each Assignment and Assumption with respect to a UK Commitment. The US Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the applicable Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, the applicable Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

131

(e) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless SYX is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time grant, pledge, hypothecate or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and none of the restrictions or conditions set forth in this Section 9.04 related to any such grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment shall apply to any such grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such grantee, pledgee, hypothecatee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that an Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit

132

is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Administrative Agents and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender shall have the right, in addition to and not in limitation of any right which any such Lender may have under applicable law or otherwise, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrowers against any of and all the obligations of any of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT

134

IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowing Representatives or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to an Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any of the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to an Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any of the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE

135

COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law.

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.15. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the US Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the US Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the US Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the US Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the US Administrative Agent’s request

136

therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the US Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the US Administrative Agent’s instructions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable securities laws, a Lender or potential Lender (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such person or entity) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction (as defined in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) contemplated herein and all related materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses, that are provided to such person or entity. However, such person or entity may not disclose any other information relating to this transaction (as defined in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) unless such information is related to such tax treatment and tax structure.

SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, in the case of amounts denominated on Optional Currency, the rate from time to time determined by the UK Administrative Agent to represents its cost of overnight funds in such Optional Currency) to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

ARTICLE X. Loan Guaranty

SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by any Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender, any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

137

SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to xxx any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any of the Borrowers or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed

138

Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. Each Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders.

SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.

SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08. Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written

139

notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.09. Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

SECTION 10.10. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.11. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from any applicable Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any

140

contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from any applicable Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.12. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

ARTICLE XI. BORROWING AGENCY.

SECTION 11.01. Borrowing Agency Provisions; Several Nature of UK Borrower.

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

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

141

Borrowing Representative or any other action taken by Agent, any Lender or any Issuer with respect to this Section 11.01 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.03, all Secured Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Secured Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by any Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party, failure of any Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of any Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by any Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and such agreement by each Loan Party to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by any Administrative Agent or any Lender to the other Loan Parties or any Collateral for such Loan Party’s Obligations or the lack thereof.

SECTION 11.02. Waivers. Each Loan Party expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Loan Party may now or hereafter have against the other Loan Parties or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Secured Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Loan Parties’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Secured Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Secured Obligations. Each Loan Party hereby waives all suretyship defenses. Each Borrower hereby agrees that the other waiver provisions applicable to each Guarantor under the provisions of Article X of this Agreement, shall be applicable to each Borrower, as if each Borrower were also a Guarantor.

SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Liability of UK Borrower. Subject to Section 2.22, it is the intent of the parties and the parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, UK Borrower shall not be liable for any US Obligations, the present and future assets of UK Borrower shall not be subject to any Liens, claim or action by any Administrative Agent or the Lenders to satisfy any US Obligations and neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any recourse under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against UK Borrower or its assets in respect of any US Obligations. All amounts paid by the UK Borrower and all value derived from its assets shall be applied only to Secured Obligations of UK Borrower. As and when the Secured Obligations owing in respect of UK Borrowings and UK LC Exposure due and owing from the UK Borrower have been reduced to zero, and the agreement of the UK Administrative Agent and the UK Lenders to make any further UK Revolving Loans or issue any Letters of Credit on behalf of the UK Borrower shall have irrevocably terminated, then the UK Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower and shall be entitled to be released and discharged from all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agents and Lenders shall have no further claim against the UK Borrower or its assets and all provisions of this Agreement that relate to the UK Borrower, other than provisions which apply generally to Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the US Borrowers shall cease to have further force and effect.

MANDATORY COSTS

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate UK Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the UK Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each UK Lender in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the UK Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the UK Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each UK Lender in the relevant Loan or Borrowing) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any UK Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that UK Lender to the UK Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that UK Lender in its notice to the UK Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that UK Lender’s participation in all Loans or Borrowings made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any UK Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the UK Administrative Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to a Sterling Loan:

per cent per annum

(b)

in relation to a Loan in any currency other than Sterling:

per cent. per annum,

Where:

is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that UK Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest-free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements;

is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an unpaid sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (c) of Section 2.12) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan or Borrowing;

Exhibit F - 1

is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that UK Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest-bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England;

is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the UK Administrative Agent on interest-bearing Special Deposits; and

is designed to compensate UK Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the UK Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the banks in the London interbank market to the UK Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds Sterling per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)

“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b)

“Facility Office” means the office notified by a UK Lender to the UK Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date on which it becomes a UK Lender (or, following that date, by not less than five Business Days’ written notice) as (i) the office through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement where the office is situated in FATF countries or (ii) with the prior written consent of the UK Administrative Agent, an office through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement situated in non-FATF countries, and which will, in either case, be treated for tax purposes as the location to which a UK Lender will attribute its income arising pursuant to this Agreement;

(c)

“FATF” shall mean the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, an inter-governmental body the purpose of which is the development and promotion of policies, at both national and international levels, to combat money laundering;

(d)

“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(e)

“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero-rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(f)

“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

Exhibit F - 2

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

If requested by the UK Administrative Agent, banks in the London interbank market selected by it shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the UK Administrative Agent the rate of charge payable by that bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds Sterling per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that bank.

8.	Each UK Lender shall supply any information required by the UK Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each UK Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a UK Lender:

(a)

the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(b)

any other information that the UK Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each UK Lender shall promptly notify the UK Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

The percentages of each UK Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the UK Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a UK Lender notifies the UK Administrative Agent to the contrary, each UK Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

10.

The UK Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over-or under-compensates any UK Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any UK Lender or bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.	The UK Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the UK Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each UK Lender based on the information provided by each UK Lender and each bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.	Any determination by the UK Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a UK Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

13.

The UK Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the UK Borrower and the UK Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law or regulation, or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.
