For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if the U.S. Borrower has exercised such option and any of the tests, ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such test, ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Total Assets or EBITDA of the U.S. Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction, such test, ratios, baskets and amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted to be consummated and (y) if any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction were entered into or the date such irrevocable notice or offer for such Limited Condition Transaction is delivered and prior to such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted.

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to any rates in the definition of any “Benchmark”, any “Benchmark Rate” or any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement) as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(b), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as such Benchmark Rate, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark Rate or Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(i)            The Administrative Agent shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Administrative Agent, (A) on behalf of the U.S. Swingline Lender, Canadian Swingline Lender, U.K. Swingline Lender and German Swingline Lender, with respect to each outstanding U.S. Swingline Loan, Canadian Swingline Loan, U.K. Swingline Loan and German Swingline Loan, respectively, (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lenders, in the case of Swingline Loans, and the Administrative Agent, in the case of Agent Advances) shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Swingline Loans, Canadian Swingline Loans, U.K. Swingline Loans, German Swingline Loans and Agent Advances with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have then been satisfied.

If for any reason any U.S. Swingline Loan, Canadian Swingline Loan, U.K. Swingline Loan or German Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 2.04(e)(i), the Settlement shall be deemed to be a request that each of the applicable Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each such Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of applicable Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04(e)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. If any such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the applicable Swingline Lender with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan and for itself with respect to each Agent Advance, be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Base Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars), Daily Simple RFR (in the case of amounts denominated in Sterling) or Daily Resetting Term Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Euros) for the first three days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate (inclusive of any applicable Applicable Margin) then applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Dollars), Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars), Daily Resetting Term Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Euros) and Daily Simple RFR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Sterling).

If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Base Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars), Daily Simple RFR (in the case of amounts denominated in Sterling) or Daily Resetting Term Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Euros) for the first three days from and after such demand and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Dollars), Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars), Daily Resetting Term Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Euros) and Daily Simple RFR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Sterling).

If, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the applicable Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans, other than to Swingline Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, such Swingline Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, Canadian Revolving Lenders, U.K. Revolving Lenders or German Revolving Lenders, as applicable, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the U.S. Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving Loans, U.K. Revolving Loans or German Revolving Loans, as applicable. During the period between Settlement Dates, the applicable Swingline Lender with respect to its Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Revolving Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Swingline Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by the applicable Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders, as applicable.

Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be (i) irrevocable and made in writing by an Authorized Person, (ii) delivered to the Administrative Agent and applicable Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, or extension, and (iii) subject to the applicable Issuing Bank’s authentication procedures with results satisfactory to such Issuing Bank.

Any Issuing Bank’s records of the content of any such request will be conclusive. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of a Loan Party or one of its Subsidiaries in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract.

-115-

(ii)            A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) with respect to U.S. Letters of Credit, (x) the U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the U.S. Line Cap, (z) the U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure of such U.S. Issuing Bank attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such U.S. Issuing Bank shall not exceed the U.S. Letter of Credit Commitment of such U.S. Issuing Bank, and (aa) the aggregate of the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure, the U.K. Revolving Credit Exposure and the Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Global Borrowing Base, (ii) with respect to Canadian Letters of Credit, (x) the Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the Canadian Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Canadian Line Cap and (z) the Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure of such Canadian Issuing Bank attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Canadian Issuing Bank shall not exceed the Canadian Letter of Credit Commitment of such Canadian Issuing Bank, and (aa) the aggregate of the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure, the U.K. Revolving Credit Exposure and the Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Global Borrowing Base, (iii) with respect to U.K. Letters of Credit, (x) the U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the U.K. Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the U.K. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the U.K. Line Cap and (z) the U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure of such U.K. Issuing Bank attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such U.K. Issuing Bank shall not exceed the U.K. Letter of Credit Commitment of such U.K. Issuing Bank, and (aa) the aggregate of the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure, the U.K. Revolving Credit Exposure and the Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Global Borrowing Base and (iv) with respect to German Letters of Credit, (x) the German Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the German Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the German Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the German Line Cap with respect to the applicable German Borrower and (z) the German Revolving L/C Exposure of such German Issuing Bank attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such German Issuing Bank shall not exceed the German Letter of Credit Commitment of such German Issuing Bank.

(iii)           In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent (i) the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.23(a)(iv), or (ii) an Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the U.S. Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in such Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, which arrangements may include the U.S. Borrower cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure in accordance with Section 2.23(a)(iv). Additionally, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue or extend a Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, or (C) if amounts demanded to be paid under any Letter of Credit will not or may not be in Dollars or the applicable Alternate Currency.

(iv)           Any Issuing Bank (other than Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing no later than the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues any Letter of Credit. In addition, each Issuing Bank (other than Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates) shall, on the first Business Day of each week, submit to the Administrative Agent a report detailing the daily undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the prior calendar week. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars or an Alternate Currency. If any Issuing Bank makes a payment under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement (on the Business Day such L/C Disbursement is made) and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a U.S. Revolving Loan, U.K. Revolving Loan, Canadian Revolving Loan or German Revolving Loan, as applicable, hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Article IV) made in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was issued to the applicable Borrower acting as applicant for such Letter of Credit and, initially, shall bear interest at (i) for Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, the Base Rate then applicable to Revolving Loans, (ii) for Letters of Credit denominated in Euros, the Daily Resetting Term Rate then applicable to Revolving Loans and (iii) Letters of Credit denominated in Sterling, the Daily Simple RFR then applicable to Revolving Loans. If an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to pay the amount of such L/C Disbursement to the applicable Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Revolving Loan. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such applicable Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

-116-

(v)           The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Borrower hereby agree that each Issuing Bank at its option may issue any Letter of Credit by causing any domestic or foreign office, branch or Affiliate of such Lender or Issuing Bank (each, an “Applicable Designee”) to issue such Letter of Credit; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any applicable Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)            Participations. Promptly following receipt of a notice of an L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iv), each of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, Canadian Revolving Lenders, U.K. Revolving Lenders and/or German Revolving Lenders, as applicable, agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan deemed made pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iv) on the same terms and conditions as if the applicable Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as a U.S. Revolving Loan, Canadian Revolving Loan, U.K. Revolving Loan and/or German Revolving Loan, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable Revolving Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit), and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each U.S. Revolving Lender (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), Canadian Revolving Lender (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit), U.K. Revolving Lender (in the case of U.K. Letters of Credit) or German Revolving Lender (in the case of German Letters of Credit), and each U.S. Revolving Lender, Canadian Revolving Lender, U.K. Revolving Lender or German Revolving Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have purchased, from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit, and each such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent thereof), such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.05(a)(iv), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, an amount in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent) equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 4. If any such Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a L/C Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at ABR (in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars), Canadian Base Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars), Daily Simple RFR (in the case of amounts denominated in Sterling) or Daily Resetting Term Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Euros) for the first three days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate (inclusive of any applicable Applicable Margin) then applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Dollars), Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars), Daily Resetting Term Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Euros) and Daily Simple RFR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Sterling) until paid in full.

-117-

(c)            Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Administrative Agent and each lender (including each Issuing Bank and its branches, Affiliates, Applicable Designees, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Bank, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Issuer Document, or any Drawing Document referred to in or related to any Letter of Credit, or any action or proceeding arising out of any of the foregoing (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration); in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(d)            The liability of any Issuing Bank (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by the Borrowers that are caused directly by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. The Borrowers’ aggregate remedies against an Issuing Bank and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 2.05(a)(iv), plus interest at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Dollars) and Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) (provided that, for purposes of the foregoing, any such amount denominated in an Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) shall be deemed to be an amount denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) and shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans). The Borrowers shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against any Issuing Bank or any other Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. Any claim by the Borrowers under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by the Borrowers as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of, and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had the Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing the applicable Issuing Bank to effect a cure.

-118-

(e)            The Borrowers are responsible for the final text of any Letter of Credit as issued by any Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance any such Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by such Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the Borrowers. The Borrowers understand that the final form of any Letter of Credit may be subject to such revisions and changes as are deemed necessary or appropriate by such Issuing Bank, and the Borrowers hereby consent to such revisions and changes not materially different from the application executed in connection therewith. The Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of any Letter of Credit for the Borrowers’ purposes. If the Borrowers request an Issuing Bank to issue a Letter of Credit for an affiliated or unaffiliated third party (an “Account Party”), (i) such Account Party shall have no rights against any Issuing Bank; (ii) the Borrowers shall be responsible for the application and obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) communications (including notices) related to the respective Letter of Credit shall be among the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. The Borrowers will examine the copy of the Letter of Credit and any other documents sent by the applicable Issuing Bank in connection therewith and shall promptly notify such Issuing Bank (not later than three (3) Business Days following the Borrowers’ receipt of documents from such Issuing Bank) of any non-compliance with the Borrowers’ instructions and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or other irregularity. The Borrowers understand and agree that no Issuing Bank is required to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit for any reason. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of non-extension of such Letter of Credit and, if the Borrowers do not at any time want the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit to be extended, the Borrowers will so notify the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank at least 30 calendar days before such Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such non-extension pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(f)            Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.05 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever; provided, that subject to Section 2.05(d) above, the foregoing shall not release any Issuing Bank from such liability to the Borrowers as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against any such Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of the Borrowers to any Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.05 or any Letter of Credit.

-119-

(g)            Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each Issuing Bank and each other Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to the Borrowers for, and each Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrowers and the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse each Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by: (i) honor of a presentation under any Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, even if the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary; (ii) honor of a presentation of any Drawing Document that appears on its face to have been signed, presented or issued (A) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other Person required to sign, present or issue such Drawing Document or (B) under a new name of the beneficiary; (iii) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; (iv) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Drawing Document (other than any Issuing Bank’s determination that such Drawing Document appears on its face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit); (v) acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that the applicable Issuing Bank in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request; (vi) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document (regardless of how sent or transmitted) or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation or any delay in giving or failing to give notice to any Borrower; (vii) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the insolvency of, any beneficiary, any nominated person or entity or any other Person or any breach of contract between any beneficiary and any Borrower or any of the parties to the underlying transaction to which any applicable Letter of Credit relates; (viii) assertion or waiver of any provision of the ISP or UCP that primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place; (ix) payment to any presenting bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it; (x) acting or failing to act as required or permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to where any Issuing Bank has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Letter of Credit, as the case may be; (xi) honor of a presentation after the expiration date of any Letter of Credit notwithstanding that a presentation was made prior to such expiration date and dishonored by any Issuing Bank if subsequently such Issuing Bank or any court or other finder of fact determines such presentation should have been honored; (xii) dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or (xiii) honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by such Issuing Bank to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.

(h)            If by reason of (x) any Change in Law, or (y) compliance by any Issuing Bank or any other Lender Parties or the Administrative Agent with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(i)             any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or any Loans or obligations to make Loans hereunder or hereby, or

(ii)            there shall be imposed on any Issuing Bank or any other Lender Party or the Administrative Agent any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit, Loans, or obligations to make Loans hereunder,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to any Issuing Bank or any other Lender Party or the Administrative Agent of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, the Administrative Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify the U.S. Borrower, and the U.S. Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as the Administrative Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate any such Issuing Bank or any other Lender Party or the Administrative Agent for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Dollars) and Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) (provided that, for purposes of the foregoing, any such amount denominated in an Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) shall be deemed to be an amount denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) and shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans); provided, that (A) the U.S. Borrower shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.05(h) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to the U.S. Borrower, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by the Administrative Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.05(h), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

-120-

(i)             Expiration. Each standby Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the date that is 12 months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided, that any standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration; provided, further, that with respect to any Letter of Credit which extends beyond the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, Letter of Credit Collateralization shall be provided therefor on or before the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Each commercial Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (i) 120 days after the date of the issuance of such commercial Letter of Credit and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

(j)             Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or (ii) U.S. Availability, Canadian Availability, U.K. Availability at such time or the aggregate German Availability of all German Borrowers shall at any time be less than zero, then on the Business Day following the date when the U.S. Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, (i) in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit, U.S. Revolving Lenders with U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure, (ii) in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit, Canadian Revolving Lenders with Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure, (iii) in the case of U.K. Letters of Credit, U.K. Revolving Lenders with U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure and (iv) in the case of German Letters of Credit, German Revolving Lenders with German Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total German Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding Letter of Credit Collateralization pursuant to this Section 2.05(j) upon such demand, the applicable Borrowers shall provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to the then existing applicable Revolving L/C Exposure. If the Borrowers fail to provide Letter of Credit Collateralization as required by this Section 2.05(j), the Revolving Lenders may (and, upon direction of the Administrative Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Loans in the applicable currency or currencies in which such Letters of Credit were issued, the amount of the cash collateral required pursuant to the Letter of Credit Collateralization provision so that the then existing Revolving L/C Exposure is cash collateralized in accordance with the Letter of Credit Collateralization provision (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 4.01 are satisfied).

(k)            Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced 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 such 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.

-121-

(l)            Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the applicable Borrowers may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate one or more Lenders (in addition to Wells Fargo) each of which agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as a U.S. Issuing Bank, Canadian Issuing Bank, U.K. Issuing Bank or German Issuing Bank. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be a U.S. Issuing Bank, Canadian Issuing Bank, U.K. Issuing Bank or German Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes.

(m)            ISP/UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(n)            Standard Letter of Credit Practice. An Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if such Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement.

(o)            Conflicts. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.05 and any provision contained in any Issuer Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.05 shall control and govern.

(p)            Survival. The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

(q)            At the Borrowers’ costs and expense, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to any Issuing Bank such additional certificates, instruments and/or documents and take such additional action as may be reasonably requested by such Issuing Bank to enable such Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and related Issuer Document, to protect, exercise and/or enforce such Issuing Banks’ rights and interests under this Agreement or to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Issuer Document. Each Borrower irrevocably appoints each Issuing Bank as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes each Issuing Bank, without notice to the Borrowers, to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents. The power of attorney granted by the Borrowers is limited solely to such actions related to the issuance, confirmation or amendment of any Letter of Credit and to ancillary documents or letters customary in the letter of credit business. This appointment is coupled with an interest.

(a)            Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided, that Swingline Loans and Agent Advances shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the applicable Loan Account (or, in the case of a Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank):

(i)             Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 9:30 a.m., Local Time, on the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the U.S. Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, the applicable U.K. Borrower or the applicable German Borrower, as applicable, a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Base Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars), Daily Simple RFR (in the case of amounts denominated in Sterling) or Daily Resetting Term Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Euros) for the first three days from and after the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrowers and thereafter at the interest rate (inclusive of any applicable Applicable Margin) then applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Dollars), Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars), Daily Resetting Term Rate Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Euros) and Daily Simple RFR Loans (in the case of such amounts denominated in Sterling) for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.06(a)(i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is not made available to Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the requested Borrowing date, Administrative Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans composing such Borrowing.

Section 2.07.            Interest Elections.

(a)            Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and in the case of a Term Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, any applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Any applicable 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 Agent Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)            To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by delivering an Interest Election Request by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type (and, in the case of a Term Rate Borrowing, with the Interest Period) resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower.

(c)            Each 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);

-123-

(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 (w) in the case of a U.S. Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing, (x) in the case of a Canadian Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing, a Term SOFR Borrowing, a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, or a Term CORRA Borrowing, (y) in the case of a U.K. Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing, a Term SOFR Borrowing, a Daily Simple RFR Borrowing or an Interbank Offered Rate Borrowing or (z) in the case of a German Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing, a Term SOFR Borrowing or an Interbank Offered Rate Borrowing; and

(iv)           if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Rate 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 Term Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(a)            If any Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing) or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing (in the case of a Term CORRA Borrowing) or a Daily Resetting Term Rate Borrowing (in the case of an Interbank Offered Rate Borrowing). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (y) each Term CORRA Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (z) each Interbank Offered Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a Daily Resetting Term Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(c)            The applicable Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least ten Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified Closing Date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments, Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, U.K. Revolving Facility Commitments or German Revolving Facility Commitments, as applicable.

(h)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus the highest rate provided in paragraphs (a) through (g) of this Section; provided, that this paragraph (h) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(i)             Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) with respect to U.S. Revolving Loans, upon termination of the U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments, (iii) with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, (iv) with respect to U.K. Revolving Loans, upon termination of the U.K. Revolving Facility Commitments and (v) with respect to German Revolving Loans, upon termination of the German Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Term Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

-132-

(k)            For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement with respect to the Canadian Loan Parties, and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement payable by the Canadian Loan Parties are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest on principal money not in arrears. Each Canadian Loan Party confirms that it understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to the Canadian Obligations based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided in this Agreement. Each Canadian Loan Party irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Canadian Loan Parties as required pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).

Section 2.14.            Alternate Rate of Interest; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)            Subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.14(b) below, in connection with any Benchmark Rate Loan, a request therefor, a conversion to or a continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (A) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (w) if a Daily Resetting Term Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining such Daily Resetting Term Rate pursuant to the definition thereof, (x) if a Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining such Daily Simple RFR pursuant to the definition thereof or (y) if a Term Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining such Term Rate on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period, (B) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a fundamental change has occurred in foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to the applicable currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (C) with respect to any Interbank Offered Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered to banks in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable currency, amount or Interest Period of such Loan or (D) any Change in Law any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, makes it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain any applicable Benchmark Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the applicable Benchmark Rate, and, in the case clause (D), such Lender has provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the U.S. Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the U.S. Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Benchmark Rate Loans in each such currency, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan in each such currency (if applicable) to or continue any Loan as a Benchmark Rate Loan in each such currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Benchmark Rate or, in the case of a Term Rate, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (D) above, at the instruction of all affected Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (I) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Benchmark Rate Loans in each such affected currency (to the extent of the affected Benchmark Rate or, in the case of a Term Rate, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (1) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected Term Rate Loan denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (2) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected Benchmark Rate Loan in an Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), then such request shall be ineffective and (II)(1) any outstanding affected Term Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or immediately if it is unlawful for any such Loan to be outstanding until such time) and (2) any outstanding affected Benchmark Rate Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (x) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or immediately if it is unlawful for any such Loan to be outstanding until such time) or (y) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or immediately if it is unlawful for any such Loan to be outstanding until such time); provided that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is the earlier of (x) three (3) Business Days after receipt by the U.S. Borrower of such notice or (y) with respect to a Term Rate Loan the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (x) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16.

-133-

(b)            Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(A)           upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the U.S. Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders (subject to clause (v) below).

No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii)            Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii)           Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders of (1) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (2) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the U.S. Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(iii) or (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14(b).

-134-

(iv)          Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (1) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (2) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (1) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v)           Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the U.S. Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (I) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Benchmark Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable currency and, failing that, (1) in the case of any request for any affected Term Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, if applicable, Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (2) in the case of any request for any affected Benchmark Rate Loan, in each case, in an Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (II)(1) any outstanding affected Term Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (2) any outstanding affected Benchmark Rate Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (x) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (y) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any Daily Simple RFR or Daily Resetting Term Rate, if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the U.S. Borrower of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (x) above; provided, further, that, with respect to any Term Rate Loan, if no election is made by the Borrowers by the earlier of (AA) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the U.S. Borrower of such notice and (BB) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Rate Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (x) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

-135-

(vi)           Required Lenders. For the purposes of this Section 2.14(b), those Lenders that do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make Loans in the then-current Benchmark that is subject to replacement pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders for the purposes of such replacement.

Section 2.15.            Increased Costs.

(a)            If any Change in Law shall:

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge 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 any Term Rate) or Issuing Bank;

(ii)            subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (g) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)            impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or the 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 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 Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)            If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such 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 such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, 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 an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

-136-

(d)            Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Company thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or 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 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)            The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not apply in the case of any Change in Law in respect of Taxes, which shall instead be governed by Section 2.17.

Section 2.16.            Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term Rate (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Term Rate 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, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Term Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) 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 Term 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 a Term Rate Loan, 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 deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers 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 Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable law; provided that if a Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) such Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) such Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made.

-137-

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

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

(d)            As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent.

(e)            Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)            Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower other than a U.K. Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or as may reasonably be requested by the Company to enable the applicable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements under any U.S. or foreign law, to determine whether or not such Lender is entitled to any exemption from or reduction in the rate of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is resident for tax purposes or under any applicable treaty relating to Taxes and to permit such payments to be made without such withholding Tax or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (f) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States or Canada if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (f) is without prejudice to Section 2.17(j) below as respects any U.K. Borrowing.

(g)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any U.S. Borrowing:

(i)             each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)            each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such Xxxxxx becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), two original copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)            duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(B)            duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto),

(C)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10-percent shareholder” of the U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the U.S. Borrower, as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that, accordingly, such Lender qualifies for such exemption (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto),

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

(E)            any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

-139-

In addition, in each of the foregoing circumstances, each Lender shall deliver such forms (other than in respect of any advance made to a U.K. Borrower under a Loan Document), if legally entitled to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Company at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any certificate previously delivered to the Company under this Section 2.17(g) (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States of America or other taxing authorities for such purpose). Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h)            If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Tax credit in lieu of a refund) as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party under this Section 2.17(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.17(h) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other person.

(i)            If a payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if any Lender or any Issuing Bank fails to comply with applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA to determine the amount to withhold or deduct from such payment and to determine that such Lender or such Issuing Bank has complied with such applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to deliver any document pursuant to this subsection that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, is not legally able to deliver or, if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such compliance would subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank in any material respect, provided, further, that in the event a Lender or Issuing Bank does not comply with the requirements of this Section 2.17(i) as a result of the application of the first proviso of this Section 2.17(i), then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have failed to comply with the requirements under FATCA.

-140-

(j)            U.K. Tax Matters.

(i)            The U.K. Borrower shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a U.K. Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a U.K. Tax Deduction), notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender Party shall notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender Party. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Lender Party, it shall notify the U.K. Borrower.

(ii)            (A)          Subject to Section 2.17(j)(ii)(B) below, a U.K. Treaty Lender and the U.K. Borrower making a payment to which that U.K. Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a U.K. Tax Deduction.

(B)            (1)          A U.K. Treaty Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name at Schedule 2.01 (Commitments); and

(2)            a U.K. Treaty Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement after the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in the documentation that it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender Party,

and having done so, that Lender Party shall be under no obligation pursuant to Section 2.17(j)(ii)(A) above.

(iii)            If a U.K. Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 2.17(j)(ii)(B) above and:

(A)            the U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has not made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender Party; or

(B)            the U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender Party but:

(1)            that U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs;

(2)            HM Revenue & Customs has not given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payment to that Lender Party without a U.K. Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing; or

(3)            HM Revenue & Customs has given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender Party without a U.K. Tax Deduction but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired,

and in each case, the U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender Party in writing that Lender Party and the U.K. Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for the U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a U.K. Tax Deduction.

-141-

(iv)           If a Lender Party has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.17(j)(ii)(B), no Loan Party shall make any U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender Party’s advance or its participation in any advance unless the Lender Party otherwise agrees.

(v)           The U.K. Borrower shall, promptly on making the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender Party.

(vi)           A U.K. Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the U.K. Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the U.K. Tax Confirmation.

(vii)          Each Lender Party that becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement that advances a U.K. Loan shall indicate, in the documentation that it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender Party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls within:

(A)            not a U.K. Qualifying Lender;

(B)            a U.K. Qualifying Lender (other than a U.K. Treaty Lender); or

If such a Lender Party fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.17(j)(vii), then that Lender Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the U.K. Borrower) as if it is not a U.K. Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the U.K. Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender Party executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender Party shall not be invalidated by any failure of that Lender Party to comply with this Section 2.17(j)(vii).

(k)            Value Added Tax.

(i)            All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender Party and/or any Agent (a “Finance Party”) which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Section 2.17(k)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under a Loan Document and that Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

-142-

(ii)            If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Receiving Finance Party”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Receiving Finance Party (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Receiving Finance Party in respect of that consideration), (A) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Receiving Finance Party must (where this Section 2.17(k)(ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiving Finance Party receives from the relevant tax authority which the Receiving Finance Party reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (B) (where the Receiving Finance Party is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Receiving Finance Party, pay to the Receiving Finance Party an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Receiving Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

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

(iv)            Any reference in this Section 2.17(k) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union, including but not limited to the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (U.K.)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

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

Section 2.18.            Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a)            Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 1:30 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under the Loan Documents, unless otherwise specified in such Loan Document, shall be made in Dollars; provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be made in such Alternate Currency. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

-143-

(b)            If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from the Borrowers hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)            If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans 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 Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans 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 Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; 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 (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply); provided, further, that with respect to any amount received from (i) any Foreign Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary) that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c), such Lender shall only purchase participations in Canadian Obligations and/or U.K. Obligations or (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary that is not a Foreign Subsidiary (or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary) that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c), such Lender shall only purchase participations in U.S. Obligations. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.23 or to the assignments and repayments described in Section 9.04(g).

-144-

(d)            Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if any Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the 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 the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)            If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19.         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)            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 such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)            If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the applicable Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 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 Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender and the applicable Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C 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 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. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the applicable Borrowers may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

-145-

(c)            If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more Assignees reasonably acceptable to (i) the Administrative Agent and (ii) if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender and the applicable Issuing Banks; provided, that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within three Business Days after Borrowers’ request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.20.         Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to a Benchmark Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Benchmark Rate or to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any Alternate Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue such Benchmark Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to such Benchmark Rate Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all applicable Term Rate Borrowings of such Lender to Base Rate Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Rate Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.21.         Incremental Commitments.

(a)            After the Closing Date, the Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount from one or more Incremental Revolving Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as the case may be, in their own discretion; provided, that (i) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent the same would be required for an assignment under the Section 9.04, the applicable Issuing Banks and the applicable Swingline Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such Incremental Revolving Lender is an existing Lender, and (ii) each Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall increase either the U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments, the Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, the U.K. Revolving Facility Commitments or the German Revolving Facility Commitments and shall be on the same terms (other than with respect to commitment, arrangement, structuring, ticking, upfront or similar fees paid to the Incremental Revolving Lenders) as the existing U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments, Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, U.K. Revolving Facility Commitments or German Revolving Facility Commitments, as applicable, and in all respects shall become a part of the U.S. Revolving Facility, Canadian Revolving Facility, U.K. Revolving Facility or German Revolving Facility, as applicable, hereunder on such terms; provided that the Applicable Margin (including the Pricing Grid), the Unused Line Fee and applicable letter of credit fees applicable to the existing Revolving Facility Commitments that is being increased by such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall automatically be increased (but in no event decreased) to the extent necessary to cause any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments to comply with this clause (ii); provided, further, that the Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed $32,500,000, the U.K. Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed $47,500,000 and the German Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed $100,000,000. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5 million and a minimum amount of $25 million or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount), (ii) the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, which shall not exceed the Incremental Amount, (iii) the date on which such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”) and (iv) whether such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments will constitute U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments, Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, U.K. Revolving Facility Commitments or German Revolving Facility Commitments.

-146-

(b)            The Borrowers and each Incremental Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver an Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to increase the U.S. Revolving Facility, the Canadian Revolving Facility, the U.K. Revolving Facility or the German Revolving Facility, as the case may be, by the amount of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby, except as required by clause (c) below.

(b)            All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.23.         Defaulting Lenders.

(a)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.23 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.23 shall control and govern.

With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (iii), the applicable Borrower shall pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below.

(b)            If the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Sections 9.30 or 9.31, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

If at any time after the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) and prior to the HH&S Account Segregation, an HH&S Triggering Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the HH&S Accounts shall not constitute Eligible Accounts.

The Loan Parties will conduct a physical count of their Inventory at least once per its fiscal year, and during the existence of an Event of Default, at such other times as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

(o)           there shall occur and be continuing an “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement,

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Company, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (iii) if the Loans have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, demand cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j); and in any event with respect to any Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for cash collateral to the full extent permitted under Section 2.05(j), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 7.02.          Exclusion of Immaterial Subsidiaries. Solely for the purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under clause (h), (i), (k) or (l) of Section 7.01, any reference in any such clause to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Immaterial Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstance referred to in any such clause.

-199-

Section 7.03.          Right to Cure.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrowers fail to comply with the requirements of the ABL Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.11 hereof, until the expiration of the 10th day subsequent to the date that the certificate calculating such ABL Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c), the U.S. Borrower shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the U.S. Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Company of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the U.S. Borrower of such Cure Right, such ABL Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment:

      (i)           EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the ABL Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

      (ii)           If, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment, the Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the ABL Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.11 hereof, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Section 6.11 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such Section 6.11 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of the Agreement.

Article VIII

The Agents

Section 8.01.          Appointment.

(a)            Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and each Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as a Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under the Security Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Xxxxxx’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender or any Loan Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which such Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria and other determinations with respect to the calculation of each Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 2.04(d), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 7.01, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

-200-

(b)            In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and each Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and branches as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and branches as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto and to enter into and take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) as though the Collateral Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. In its capacity as Collateral Agent, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and each Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and branches as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and branches as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Collateral Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of such Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Collateral Agent under any related deed of hypothec. The Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable law. Any person who becomes such a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Collateral Agent as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Collateral Agent in such capacity. The substitution of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII also constitutes the substitution of the Collateral Agent as hypothecary representative as aforesaid.

(c)            Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and each Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (A) in the case of all Loan Parties, upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration, termination or cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold or to be sold to any Person other than another Loan Party as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.08 hereof, (ii) to release any Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and (iii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(i) and (j). Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

-201-

(d)            In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, administration, restructuring, moratorium or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

Section 8.02.          Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrowers shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-202-

Section 8.03.          Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent or its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

-203-

Section 8.04.      Reliance by Administrative Agent. The 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to 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. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 8.05.      Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.06.      Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrowers, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Xxxxxx agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws). Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

-204-

Section 8.07.      Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and each Issuing Bank in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and unused Commitments hereunder; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans owing to any Swingline Lender and of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposure), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.08.      Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan participated in, by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 8.09.      Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor agent which shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

-205-

Section 8.10.      Agents and Arrangers. None of the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

Section 8.11.      Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Xxxxxxx. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a)            is deemed to have requested that the Collateral Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each, a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent;

(b)             expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Lenders nor the Agents (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report;

(c)             expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Collateral Agent, a Lender, or other party performing any audit or 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;

(d)             agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants or as permitted under Section 9.16, or use any Report in any other manner; and

(e)            without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agents and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Xxxxxx’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or Lender preparing the Report.

Section 8.12.      Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)            Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(d)            In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of Agent and upon Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans”) to Agent or, at the option of Agent, Agent’s applicable lending affiliate (such assignee, the “Agent Assignee”) in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by Agent Assignee as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.

(g)            The provisions of this Section 8.13 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) nothing in this Section 8.13 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment and (ii) there will only be deemed to be a recovery of the Erroneous Payment to the extent that Agent has received payment from the Payment Recipient in immediately available funds the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency, whether directly from the Payment Recipient, as a result of the exercise by Agent of its rights of subrogation or setoff as set forth above in clause (e) or as a result of the receipt by Agent Assignee of a payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, but excluding any other amounts in respect thereof (it being agreed that any payments of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts (other than principal) received by Agent Assignee in respect of the Loans assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be the sole property of Agent Assignee and shall not constitute a recovery of the Erroneous Payment).

In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

-215-

(v)            Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Xxxxxx and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable tax forms, 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 Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b)(v).

(c)       (i)       Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Defaulting Lender or Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments 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 Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 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 other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrowers agree 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 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

-216-

(ii)            A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 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 Company’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Sections 2.17(f), (g) and (j) (as applicable) as though it were a Lender.

(d)            Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)            The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent. Each of the Borrowers, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g)            If the Company wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments under the U.S. Revolving Facility, the Canadian Revolving Facility, the U.K. Revolving Facility or the German Revolving Facility with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under the U.S. Revolving Facility, the Canadian Revolving Facility, the U.K. Revolving Facility or the German Revolving Facility, as applicable, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) (A) with respect to all Loans and Commitments held by the applicable Lenders who are not then Defaulting Lenders, require all such Lenders to assign all such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (B) with respect to all such Loans and Commitments held by such Lenders who are then Defaulting Lenders, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.08, 2.18 or otherwise in this Agreement, prepay all amounts outstanding under any Loans held by such Defaulting Lenders, and terminate and cancel the Commitments held by such Defaulting Lenders; and (ii) amend the terms of all such Loans and Commitments so assigned pursuant to the preceding clause (i)(A) in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.08(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced, terminated, canceled and/or repaid pursuant to this Section 9.04(g) shall be purchased or repaid at par (allocated among the applicable Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any other amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.05(b). By receiving such purchase price, the applicable Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned such Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached as Exhibit A, and, accordingly, no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (g) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

-217-

(h)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made to a Competitor without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person.

Section 9.05.         Expenses; Indemnity.

(a)            The Borrowers agree to pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this Agreement (including reasonable expenses incurred in connection with due diligence, to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the Company and the reasonable fees, disbursements and charges for no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located or where any Loan Party is formed or incorporated) or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx llp and Norton Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and, if necessary, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction; (ii) all field examination, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers, as and when incurred or chargeable, as follows (a) a fee at the Administrative Agent’s then-standard rate per day, per examiner, plus out-of-pocket expenses (including travel, meals, and lodging) for each field examination of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries performed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and (b) the fees, charges or expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) the costs and expenses of forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks, and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining Payment Accounts and lock boxes, and (C) the costs and expenses of lien searches, taxes, fees and other charges for filing financing statements, and other actions to maintain, preserve and protect the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon; (iii) sums paid or incurred to pay any amount or take any action required of any Borrower or other Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Borrower or Loan Party fails to take; and (iv) all out of pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent (including any special and local counsel).

-218-

(b)            The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective Related Parties (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers agree to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction) (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any claim related in any way to Environmental Laws and any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any Real Property; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities 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 or any of its Related Parties. None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to the Borrowers or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facility or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c)            Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes.

(d)            To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e)            The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

-219-

Section 9.06.      Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided that with respect to any such deposit of or indebtedness to (i) any Canadian Subsidiary that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.06, such Lender shall only setoff and apply such amounts against the Canadian Obligations; (ii) any U.K. Subsidiary that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.06, such Lender shall only setoff and apply such amounts against the U.K. Obligations; (iii) any German Subsidiary that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.06, such Lender shall only setoff and apply such amounts against the German Obligations or (iv) the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.06, such Lender shall only setoff and apply such amounts against the U.S. Obligations.

Section 9.08.      Waivers; Amendments.

(a)            No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any 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 Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)            Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.21, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Security Documents, the Collateral Agent if so provided therein) and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i)            decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, except as provided in Section 2.05(c),

-220-

(ii)            increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Unused Line Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

(iii)            extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iv)            amend the provisions of Section 5.02 of the U.S. Collateral Agreement, Section 5.02 of the Canadian Collateral Agreement, Section 9.4 of the U.K. Collateral Agreement or Clause 15 of the German Security Transfer Agreement or any other provision of the Loan Documents providing for the pro rata sharing of payments, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(v)            amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

(vi)            release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any of the Borrowers or all or substantially all of the U.S. Subsidiary Loan Parties, Canadian Subsidiary Loan Parties, U.K. Subsidiary Loan Parties or German Loan Parties from their respective Guarantees under the U.S. Collateral Agreement, the Canadian Collateral Agreement, any U.K. Security Document or any German Collateral Agreement, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender,

(vii)          increase any of the percentages set forth in the definitions of the U.S. Borrowing Base, the Canadian Borrowing Base, the U.K. Borrowing Base or the German Borrowing Base, in each case, without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders,

(viii)         (x) subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Obligations to any other Indebtedness or other obligation or (y) subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Liens securing the Obligations to Liens securing any other Indebtedness or other obligation, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

(ix)            amend the provisions of Section 2.18 or Section 9.22 without the prior written consent of each Lender;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

-221-

(c)            Without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

(d)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Loans, (ii) this Agreement may be amended in accordance with Section 1.07 (without the consent of any other person) in connection with any approved request for an Alternate Currency pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof, (iii) this Agreement may be amended in accordance with Section 1.08 (without the consent of any other person) in connection with any approved additional Borrower in accordance with such Section, (iv) this Agreement may be amended in accordance with Section 2.01(e) (without the consent of any other person) in connection with any reallocation in accordance with such Section and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties may amend Section 5.14 (without the consent of any other person) to reflect changes in the account structure of the Loan Parties.

Section 9.09.      Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.09, if any provision of any of the Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in the receipt of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the applicable recipient of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid by the Canadian Loan Parties to the applicable recipient under the Loan Documents; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid by the Canadian Loan Parties to the applicable recipient which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the applicable recipient shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then Canadian Loan Party shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the applicable recipient in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the applicable recipient to the applicable Canadian Loan Party. Any amount or rate of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations referred to in this Section 9.09 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Loans to the Canadian Borrower remain outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be prorated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the period from the Closing Date to the date the Canadian Obligations shall have been paid in full, and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

-222-

Section 9.10.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12.      Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

-223-

Section 9.13.      Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent, and the Lender Parties agree that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will, subject to the Legal Reservations and Perfection Requirements, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank nor Swingline Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Neither the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank nor Swingline Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

(a)            Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, New York County and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Loan Parties agrees that (a) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction), and (b) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Loan Party in any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Loan Party from asserting or seeking the same in the New York Courts.

(b)            Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)            Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.17.      Platform; Borrower Materials. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

Section 9.18.      Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of its assets, including any of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.05, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers and at the Borrowers’ expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets, and, in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its Guarantee; provided that, such Subsidiary Loan Party shall not be released solely as a result of such Subsidiary Loan Party ceasing to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, unless pursuant to a transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the U.S. Borrower for a bona fide business purpose (other than (i) to release such Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents or (ii) in connection with a liability management transaction). In addition, the Collateral Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrowers and at the Borrowers’ expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations with respect to which no claim has been made and Bank Product Obligations except to the extent then due and payable) are paid in full and all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or back stopped pursuant to arrangements acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) and Commitments are terminated. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Equity Interests, asset or subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or asset is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

Section 9.19.      Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Loan Parties in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 9.20.      USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001, as amended from time to time)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

(b)            Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (for itself) in order for the Administrative Agent to carry out and be satisfied, it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

Section 9.22.      Sharing of Payments. If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share (based on each Lender’s aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and unused Commitments hereunder; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans owing to any Swingline Lender and of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposure) of all such distributions by the Administrative Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to the Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares (based on each Lender’s aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and unused Commitments hereunder; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans owing to any Swingline Lender and of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposure); provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document, the Guarantee granted by any U.K. Loan Party hereunder or any guaranty granted by any U.K. Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document shall not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the relevant guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006.

Save for manifest errors, the Auditor's Determination shall be binding an all parties.

-230-

(v)            If, after it has been provided with an Auditor’s Determination which prevented it from demanding any or only partial payment under the Limited Upstream Obligation, the Collateral Agent ascertains in good faith that the financial condition of the GmbH Obligor as set out in the Auditor’s Determination has substantially improved, the Collateral Agent (acting reasonably) may, at the GmbH Obligor’s cost and expense, arrange for the preparation of an updated balance sheet of the GmbH Obligor by applying the same principles that were used for the preparation of the Auditor’s Determination by the auditors who prepared the Auditor's Determination in order for such auditors to determine whether (and, if so, to what extent) the GmbH Capital Impairment has been cured as result of the improvement of the financial condition of the GmbH Obligor. The Collateral Agent may not arrange for the preparation of an Auditor's Determination prior to the expiry of 6 (six) months from the date of the issuance of the preceding Auditor's Determination.

(vi)            The GmbH Net Assets shall be adjusted as follows:

(A)            the amount of any increase in the registered share capital of the relevant GmbH Obligor which was carried out after the relevant GmbH Obligor became a party to this Agreement and made from retained earnings (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) shall be deducted from the amount of the registered share capital (Stammkapital) of the relevant GmbH Obligor if, unless permitted under the Loan Documents, carried out without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;

(E)            the amount of non-distributable assets according to section 272 (5) HGB shall not be included in the calculation of GmbH Net Assets.

(vii)            Where a GmbH Obligor claims in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b) that the Limited Upstream Obligation can only be enforced in a limited amount as a result of the GmbH Obligor not having sufficient Net Assets to maintain its registered share capital, it shall realise at market value, to the extent lawful and within reasonable opinion of the GmbH Obligor commercially justifiable, any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets and are not necessary for the relevant GmbH Obligor 's business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).

(viii)            Where the provisions of this Section 9.24 apply to a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft), all references to the assets of a GmbH Obligor shall mutatis mutandis include a reference to the assets of the general partner (Komplementär) of such limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft). If an Agent or any Lender Party enforces any Limited Upstream Obligation against a GmbH Obligor which is a Subsidiary of another GmbH Obligor, enforcement shall, in addition to the limitations set out in this Section 9.24, further be limited to an amount which would not cause a GmbH Capital Impairment at such other GmbH Obligor.

-231-

(x)            Nothing in this Section 9.24 shall prevent the Collateral Agent or a GmbH Obligor from claiming in court that payments under and/or an enforcement of the Limited Upstream Obligations do or do not fall within the scope of sections 30, 31, 43 GmbHG, and/or section 826 BGB (as applicable), do or do not result in criminal and/or personal liability of any managing director (Geschäftsführer), or that the limitations set out in Section 9.24 are not required to avoid any violation of these laws or liability issues for any managing director (Geschäftsführer) (including, without limitation, in case of insolvency of the relevant GmbH Obligor or, as the case may be, its general partner).

(xi)            The restrictions set forth in this Section 9.24 shall cease to apply with respect to a German Obligor in respect of which an insolvency proceeding has been opened.

(xii)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 9.24 and any rights and/or obligations arising out of it shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, German law.

Section 9.25.      Parallel Debt.

(a)            Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) without duplication to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such Loan Party to any Secured Party under this Agreement and any other Loan Document pursuant to any Obligations as and when those amounts are due under any Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Obligations payable by such Loan Party to any Secured Party (such payment undertakings under this Section 9.25 and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “Parallel Debt”).

(b)            The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right without duplication to demand payment of the Parallel Debt by each Loan Party when due. Each Loan Party and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Loan Party under this Section 9.25 are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of each Loan Party to any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Obligations payable by such Loan Party to any Secured Party (the “Corresponding Debt”), provided that:

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

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

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

-232-

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

(v)            the Loan Parties shall have all objections and defenses against the Parallel Debt which they have against the Corresponding Debt.

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

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

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

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

(e)            The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in this Section 9.25 shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Obligations.

(f)            The Parallel Debt shall remain effective in case a third person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any rights of any of the Secured Parties under any of the other Loan Documents or Bank Product Agreements, be it by virtue of assignment, novation or otherwise, provided that the Collateral Agent may not assign or transfer any claim arising from the Parallel Debt other than to any successor Collateral Agent.

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

Section 9.29.         Keepwell. Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guarantee under Article II of the U.S. Collateral Agreement or Article II of the Canadian Collateral Agreement, as applicable, or the grant of the security interest under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Hedge Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Hedge Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantee and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Hedge Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under the Guarantee under Article II of the U.S. Collateral Agreement or Article II of the Canadian Collateral Agreement, as applicable, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount), provided, that any Qualified ECP Guarantor that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall only be obligated to provide such funds or support with respect to Specified Loan Parties that are Foreign Subsidiaries. The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9.29 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 9.29 to constitute, and this Section 9.29 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 9.30.         Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)            the application of any Write-down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)            the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)            a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)           a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)           the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 9.31.         Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support,” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

-234-

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 9.32.         Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) or other applicable Canadian anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and “know your client” laws (collectively, the “AML Legislation”) hereby notifies the Canadian Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the AML Legislation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information regarding each Canadian Loan Party, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of each Canadian Loan Party, and the transactions contemplated hereby. If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Loan Party for the purposes of any applicable AML Legislation:

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

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

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of each Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of each Canadian Loan Party on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from each Canadian Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

Section 9.33.         Closing Date Assignment, Assumption and Release. Immediately upon consummation of the Business Combination and without any further action by any Person, (i) the Initial Borrower hereby automatically assigns, and the Company hereby automatically assumes, all of the Initial Borrower’s rights, title, interests, liabilities, duties and obligations as a “Borrower” in, to and under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Initial Borrower is a party, (ii) the Company hereby covenants to perform all of the Initial Borrower’s obligations and covenants as a “Borrower” and a “Loan Party” hereunder and under any other Loan Document which accrue from and after the date hereof, and (iii) upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the Company of all of the Initial Borrower’s rights, title, interests, liabilities, duties and obligations as a “Borrower” in, to and under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Initial Borrower is a party, the Initial Borrower shall be hereby automatically released from all of its liabilities, duties and obligations as a “Borrower” in, to and under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
