Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Alternative Currency Lender with an Alternative Currency Commitment agrees to make Revolving Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency from time to time during the Availability Period to one or more of the Eligible Borrowers with respect to such Alternative Currency in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in the US Dollar Equivalent of (i) such Lender’s Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the Total Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Commitment, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans and LC Exposure (in each case, denominated in an Alternative Currency) exceeding the Alternative Currency Sublimit, (iv) the aggregate of the principal amount of all such Lender’s Loans and LC Exposure denominated in such Alternative Currency exceeding such Lender’s applicable Alternative Currency Commitment, or (v) the aggregate of the principal amount of all Loans and LC Exposure in such Alternative Currency exceeding the applicable aggregate Alternative Currency Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Eligible Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Alternative Currency Loans.

(a) Each Alternative Currency Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Alternative Currency Loans of the same Class and currency made by the Alternative Currency Lenders with respect to such Class and currency to an Eligible Borrower with respect to such currency, with the Alternative Currency Loan of each Alternative Currency Lender being in an amount determined according to the ratio of its Alternative Currency Commitment with respect to such Alternative Currency to the total of all Alternative Currency Commitments with respect to such Alternative Currency. The Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Sterling or Euro shall be Eurocurrency Loans; and the Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be CDOR Loans or Canadian Prime Loans. The

principal of and interest on each Alternative Currency Borrowing shall be paid in the currency in which such Alternative Currency Borrowing was denominated and shall be paid to the Applicable Agent for the ratable (relative to Loans made as a part of such Borrowing) account of the Alternative Currency Lenders with respect to such Class and currency.

(b) To request an Alternative Currency Loan, the Applicable Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent of such request in writing (i) in the case of Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Sterling or Euro, not later than 11:00 a.m., London Time, four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) in the case of Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and that are Canadian Prime Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m. Toronto Time, one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date; and (iii) in the case of Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and that are CDOR Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., Toronto Time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date. The Applicable Agent will promptly advise the applicable Alternative Currency Lenders of any such notice received.

(c) Each applicable Alternative Currency Lender shall make each Alternative Currency Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Alternative Currency Lenders. The Applicable Agent will make such Alternative Currency Loans available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Applicable Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and acceptable to the Applicable Agent.

(d) Loans made and Letters of Credit issued in the UK may be made only by Lenders and Issuing Banks that are, at the time of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, legally entitled to do so in the UK, and Loans made and Letters of Credit issued in Canada may be made only by Lenders and Issuing Banks that are, at the time of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, legally entitled to do so in Canada; provided, that Article III and Section 2.7(a)(i) shall apply.

(e) Except as the Applicable Borrower and the applicable Alternative Currency Lenders may otherwise agree, Alternative Currency Loans may, at the conclusion of the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, be continued in the manner (to the extent applicable) set forth in Section 3.1(b). If the Applicable Borrower fails to either repay an Alternative Currency Loan on or before the last day of any applicable Interest Period or deliver a timely continuation request as set forth in Section 3.1(c), or if any Default or Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Applicable Borrower, the applicable Borrowing shall be continued in such Alternative Currency with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of the expiring Interest Period or as a Canadian Prime Loan in the case of a CDOR Loan.

(f) Alternative Currency Lenders with Loans outstanding in any Alternative Currency may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston Time, on any Business Day, require Lenders not having an Alternative Currency Commitment with respect to such currency (each, an “Other Lender”) to acquire

participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Alternative Currency Loans denominated in such currency then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of such Alternative Currency Loans in which such Other Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give written notice thereof to each such Other Lender, specifying in such notice the percentage of such Alternative Currency Loan or Loans to be acquired by such Other Lender. Each such Other Lender irrevocably agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Alternative Currency Lenders such Other Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the US Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency Loan or Loans; provided that no Lender shall be required to make payments under this sentence to the extent that doing so would cause the Credit Exposure of such Lender to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Total Commitment; and provided further, that no Alternative Currency Lender will be required to make the payments under this sentence to the extent it already holds Alternative Currency Loans and LC Exposure in the affected currency in an aggregate amount equal to or in excess of its Alternative Currency Commitment with respect to such currency. Each such Other Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Alternative Currency Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such Other Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the same manner provided in Section 2.5 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of such Other Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Alternative Currency Lender with Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency such portions of the amount so received by it from the Other Lenders so that after giving effect thereto such Lenders (including such Alternative Currency Lenders) will hold direct interests in such Alternative Currency Loans in their respective Pro Rata Percentages. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Alternative Currency Loans acquired pursuant to this paragraph. If an Alternative Currency Lender accepts an assignment pursuant to Section 13.9(b) of one or more Alternative Currency Loans of any Class or currency, the Applicable Participation Percentages of the Alternative Currency Lenders with respect to such Loans will be adjusted, as applicable, immediately upon such assignment taking effect.

(g) If any amount required to be paid by any Other Lender to an Alternative Currency Lender of the applicable Class and currency pursuant to this Section 2.4 is not made available to such Alternative Currency Lender when due, such Other Lender shall pay to such Alternative Currency Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for such Class for the period until such Other Lender makes such amount immediately available to such Alternative Currency Lender. If and to the extent any Other Lender shall not have made such amount available to such Alternative Currency Lender within three (3) Business Days of such due date, such Alternative Currency Lender shall also be entitled to recover from such Other Lender such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum generally applicable to loans made by such Alternative Currency Lender to loans of such Class made by it to other borrowers in the same currency as such Alternative Currency, on demand. A certificate of the

Alternative Currency Lender submitted to any Other Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(h) The amount of principal and interest paid on the Alternative Currency Loans prior to receipt of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be shared by the Alternative Currency Lenders of each Class and currency pro rata based on the amount of the Alternative Currency Commitment of such Class and currency of each (or if the Alternative Currency Commitments shall have terminated, based on the Alternative Currency Loans of the applicable Class and currency held by each). Whenever, at any time after the applicable Alternative Currency Lender has received from any Other Lender the full amount owing by such Other Lender pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.4 in respect of any Alternative Currency Loan, the Administrative Agent or such Alternative Currency Lender receives any payment related to such Alternative Currency Loan (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by such Alternative Currency Lender or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Alternative Currency Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or such Alternative Currency Lender will distribute to each such Other Lender that shall have made its payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Alternative Currency Lenders its pro rata share thereof (and hereby directs the Administrative Agent to remit such pro rata share to such Lender out of any such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Alternative Currency Lender).

(i) If any payment received by an Alternative Currency Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4 with respect to any Alternative Currency Loan made by it shall be required to be returned by such Alternative Currency Lender, each Other Lender with respect to such Loan shall pay to such Alternative Currency Lender its Pro Rata Percentage thereof.

(j) All outstanding Alternative Currency Loans shall be due and payable, to the extent not previously paid in accordance with the terms hereof, on the Maturity Date.

(k) The initial Alternative Currency Commitments for each Class of Alternative Currency Loans are designated for each Alternative Currency on Schedule 2.1. Each Lender that is not designated an Alternative Currency Lender in Schedule 2.1 with respect to any Class or currency on the Closing Date shall be or become an Alternative Currency Lender with respect to such Class and currency on the initial day to occur after the Closing Date on which its lending of Loans of such Class is not illegal, impossible or impracticable and does not result in costs or expenses for which such Lender would not be indemnified by the Applicable Borrower or the Borrower pursuant hereto, and on such day, it shall so promptly notify the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent). Any Alternative Currency Lender may comply with its obligations as such by causing, as its agent, an Applicable Lending Installation to perform such obligations as contemplated by Section 2.2(c), and the terms of this Agreement shall be applicable to such Applicable Lending Installation as set forth in Section 2.2(c).

(l) In the event any Lender acting as an Alternative Currency Lender with respect to Loans denominated in any currency (i) ceases for any reason to qualify to be an Alternative Currency Lender with respect to such currency and notifies the Administrative Agent

to such effect, or (ii) makes an assignment pursuant to Section 13.9(b) of all or part of its Alternative Currency Commitment with respect to such currency to a Lender that is not an Alternative Currency Lender with respect to such currency or (iii) determines in good faith and notifies the Administrative Agent that, pursuant to Article III or Section 2.7(a)(ii), as applicable, lending to the Applicable Borrower Loans in such currency would be illegal, impossible or impractical for such Lender or would result in costs or expenses for which such Lender would not be indemnified by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (A) any applicable assignee shall not be an Alternative Currency Lender with respect to the affected currency, (B) the other Alternative Currency Lenders with respect to the affected currency may, in their sole discretion, accept an assignment of such Alternative Currency Lender’s Alternative Currency Loans in such currency, or (C) if such Alternative Currency Lenders decline to do so, upon receipt of notice to such effect from the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Borrower shall cause all Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency by such Alternative Currency Lender to be repaid in full within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice (it being understood that following or contemporaneously with such repayment, the Applicable Borrower shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, be entitled to reborrow such Alternative Currency Loans from the remaining Alternative Currency Lenders with respect to the same currency).

2.5. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Borrowing Date of any Borrowing, make available to the Applicable Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, its Pro Rata Percentage of such Borrowing, if in US Dollars, or its Applicable Participation Percentage, if in an Alternative Currency, as requested by the Applicable Borrower in accordance with this Agreement; provided that Alternative Currency Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.4 and Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.6. After the Applicable Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VIII, on such Borrowing Date the Applicable Agent shall make such Borrowing available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account of the Applicable Borrower designated by the Applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request and reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Agent; provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.7(d) shall be remitted by the Applicable Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. Any deposit to the Applicable Borrower’s designated account by the Applicable Agent pursuant to a request (whether written or oral) believed in good faith by such Applicable Agent to be an authorized request by such Borrower for a Loan hereunder shall be deemed to be a Loan hereunder for all purposes with the same effect as if such Borrower had in fact requested such Applicable Agent to make such Loan.

(b) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (which must be received, except in the case of CB Floating Rate Loans, at least one Business Day prior to the date of any Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage or Applicable Participation Percentage (as the case may be) of such Borrowing as and when required hereunder, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Applicable Agent on the date of

such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.5(a), and the Applicable Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. The Applicable Agent shall give notice to the Applicable Borrower of any notice such Applicable Agent receives under this Section 2.5(b), provided that such Applicable Agent shall not be liable for the failure to give such notice. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent in immediately available funds and such Applicable Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Applicable Borrower such amount, such Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to pay (without duplication) to the Applicable Agent on the Business Day following the applicable Borrowing Date such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Applicable Borrower but excluding the date of repayment to such Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (A) if denominated in US Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and the rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation to be the cost to it of funding such amount or (ii) in the case of the Applicable Borrower, (A) if denominated in US Dollars, the interest rate applicable to CB Floating Rate Loans plus the Applicable Margin and (B) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Agent, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. A notice of the Applicable Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Applicable Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the applicable Borrowing Date for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.6. Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Bank agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $5,000,000 or (ii) the Total Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Commitment; provided that the Swingline Bank shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in US Dollars and in an amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 12:00 noon, Houston Time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Loan; if such telephonic notice is received later than 12:00 noon, Houston Time, the request shall be deemed to be a request for a Swingline Loan to be made on the next Business Day. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Bank of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Bank shall make each Swingline Loan

available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Bank (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.7(d), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 2:00 p.m., Houston Time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The Borrower shall repay the principal amount of each Swingline Loan (together with all accrued and unpaid interest) no later than 2:00 p.m., Houston Time, on the date that is the earliest of (a) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the fifteenth (15th) or last day of a calendar month and is at least three Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (b) the Maturity Date; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(c) The Swingline Bank may, at its option, by written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Houston Time, on any Business Day, before or after the maturity of the Swingline Loan (regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has, or has not, occurred and is continuing) require the Lenders to acquire, without recourse or warranty, participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice from the Swingline Bank shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will be required to participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Swingline Bank, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent properly delivered as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Section 2.6(e), upon receipt of such notice properly delivered, its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever, may not be terminated, suspended or delayed for any reason whatsoever, shall not be subject to qualification or exception and shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5(a) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.5(a) and 2.5(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter (i) payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Bank and (ii) the Lenders’ respective interests in such Swingline Loans, and the remaining interest of the Swingline Bank in such Swingline Loans, shall in all respects be treated as Revolving Loans under this Agreement, except that Swingline Loans shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the dates referred to in Section 2.6(b). Any amounts received by the Swingline Bank from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Bank of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Bank, as

their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Bank or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) If any Lender does not pay any amount that it is required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.6 and to the extent not otherwise provided for in Section 4.7(c) or (d), as applicable, promptly upon the Swingline Bank’s demand therefor, (a) the Swingline Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three Business Days, and thereafter at the CB Floating Rate, for each day from the date of such demand, if made prior to 2:00 p.m., Houston Time, on any Business Day, or, if made at any later time, from the next Business Day following the date of such demand, until the date such amount is paid in full to the Swingline Bank by such Lender and (b) the Swingline Bank shall be entitled to all interest payable by the Borrower to such Lender on such amount until the date on which such amount is received by the Swingline Bank from such Lender. Moreover, any Lender that shall fail to make available the required amount shall not be entitled to vote on or consent to or approve any matter under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents until such amount with interest is paid in full to the Swingline Bank by such Lender. Without limiting any obligations of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6(d), but subject to Section 4.7(c), if any Lender does not pay such corresponding amount promptly upon the Swingline Bank’s demand therefor, the Swingline Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall promptly repay such corresponding amount to the Swingline Bank together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate on such Swingline Loans.

(e) No Lender shall be obligated to purchase a participation in any Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.6(c), if such Lender proves that (a) any one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 8.3 was not satisfied at the time such Swingline Loan was made (unless such condition was waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and (b) such Lender had notified the Swingline Bank in a writing received by the Swingline Bank at least one Business Day prior to the time that it made such Swingline Loan that the Swingline Bank was not authorized to make such Swingline Loan because any such condition was not satisfied and stating with specificity the reason therefor.

2.7. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, including, without limitation, the applicable terms and conditions set forth in Article VIII, each Issuing Bank agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period following its receipt of a Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of any Borrower, in the name of such Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, one or more irrevocable standby or commercial letters of credit, bank guarantees, or, as reasonably agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank, other trade instruments, in each case, denominated in (i) to the extent requested by the Borrower, US Dollars or an Alternative Currency, (ii) to the extent requested by the Canadian Borrower, Canadian Dollars, and (iii) to the extent requested by the UK Borrower,

Euro or Sterling (all such letters of credit collectively, the “Letters of Credit”); provided that no Issuing Bank shall issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if:

(i) at the time of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing, amending, renewing or extending such Letter of Credit or (B) any requirement of 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 (x) shall prohibit, or request or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (y) shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement not in effect on the Closing Date, or (z) shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and, in the case of either of the preceding clause (y) or (z), which such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it and for which the Applicable Borrower has not expressly and specifically agreed with such Issuing Bank in writing to compensate such Issuing Bank; or

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the US Dollar Equivalent of (A) the Credit Exposure of such Issuing Bank would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Commitment, (B) the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment, (C) the total LC Exposure would exceed $40,000,000, (D) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure denominated in Alternative Currencies would exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit; (E) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure (in each case, denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency) shall exceed the aggregate of the applicable Alternative Currency Commitments; (F) the aggregate principal amount of all such Issuing Bank’s outstanding Loans and LC Exposure in such Alternative Currency exceeding such Issuing Bank’s Alternative Currency Commitment with respect to that Alternative Currency; or (G) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and LC Exposure (in each case, denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency) would exceed the aggregate Alternative Currency Commitments with respect to that Alternative Currency; or

(iii) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit is a date that is later than the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months from the issuance date (or in the case of any renewal or extension, twelve (12) months after such renewal or extension) or (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date); or

(iv) the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 are not fulfilled to the satisfaction of such Issuing Bank as of the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, and to the extent not otherwise provided for in Section 4.7(c) or (d), as applicable, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue, renew, amend or extend a Letter of Credit if there is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with the Applicable Borrower or the Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender.

No Letter of Credit may be issued, or remain outstanding, for the account of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) Letter of Credit Requests.

(i) Whenever a Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued or that an existing Letter of Credit shall be amended, renewed or extended, it shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Applicable Agent its prior written request therefor not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, at the location of the Applicable Agent, (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be issued or amended that is or is to be in US Dollars, not later than the second Business Day prior to the requested issuance or amendment date, (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be issued or amended that is or is to be in Canadian Dollars, not later than the third Business Day prior to the requested issuance or amendment date, (iii) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be issued or amended that is or is to be in Euro or Sterling, not later than the third Business Day prior to the requested issuance or amendment date, and (iv) in the case of the extension of the existing expiry date of any Letter of Credit, not later than the third Business Day prior to the date on which such Issuing Bank must notify the beneficiary thereof that such Issuing Bank does not intend to extend such existing expiry date. Each such request for an issuance, renewal, extension or amendment increasing the amount thereof shall be in the form of Exhibit F (a “Letter of Credit Request”) and, in the case of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, shall be accompanied by an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request. Each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the date specified in Section 2.7(a)(iii), shall not be in an amount greater than is permitted under Section 2.7(a) and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Applicable Borrower. Promptly upon its receipt of a Letter of Credit Request, and, if applicable, the related Application, the Applicable Agent shall so notify the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. It is agreed that an Application may be delivered by electronic transfer.

(ii) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Applicable Borrower that such

Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, this Agreement. Unless an Issuing Bank has received notice from an Agent or any Lender (with a copy thereof to be simultaneously sent to the Borrower), before it issues or amends the respective Letter of Credit or renews or extends the existing expiry date of a Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 8.3 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of such Letter of Credit would violate this Agreement, such Issuing Bank may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Applicable Borrower in accordance with this Agreement and such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary practices; provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than two (2) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Request and the related Application therefor and all other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i). Upon its issuance of any Letter of Credit or the extension of the existing expiry date of any Letter of Credit, as the case may be, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such issuance or extension, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the Letter of Credit actually issued or a copy of any amendment extending the existing expiry date of any Letter of Credit, as the case may be. Promptly upon its receipt of such documents, the Applicable Agent shall notify each Lender and the Administrative Agent of the issuance of such Letter of Credit or the extension of such expiry date, as the case may be, and shall deliver copies of such documents to each applicable Lender and the Administrative Agent.

(i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage, in each such Letter of Credit (including extensions of the expiry date thereof), each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Applicable Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower on the date due or of any reimbursement payment in respect of an LC Disbursement required to be refunded to a Borrower for any reason. Such payments by the Lenders shall be made in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was issued. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a

Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any fluctuation in currency values, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability. It is the intent of the parties hereto that no Issuing Bank shall have any liability for its ordinary sole or contributing negligence.

(iii) In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Applicable Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.7(d)(i) or (ii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of such failure, and each such Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in same day funds and in the same currency. If, prior to 11:30 a.m., Local Time, on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent so notifies any Lender required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds and in the same currency. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, and to the extent not otherwise provided for in Section 4.7(c) or (d), as applicable, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank (i) in the case of LC Disbursements made in the US Dollars, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) if such LC Disbursement is made in an Alternative Currency, at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans at such time. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such other Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of any such payment.

(iv) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Applicable Agent has received for the account of such Issuing Bank any payments from the Lenders pursuant to clause (iii) above, such Issuing Bank shall pay to the Applicable Agent, and such Applicable Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has paid its Pro Rata Percentage thereof, in same day funds and in the same funds as those received by the Applicable Agent, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof.

(v) The obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Applicable Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Applicable Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(F) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Lender (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank).

(vi) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,

incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit issued by it or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit issued by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from an Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(i) Upon the receipt by an Issuing Bank of any drawing from a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank promptly will provide the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent with telecopy notice thereof. The Applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank by making payment to the Applicable Agent in the same currency as such drawing and in immediately available funds for any LC Disbursement at the account of the Applicable Agent identified to the Applicable Borrower, immediately after payment, and in any event (i) if the applicable Issuing Bank has notified the Applicable Borrower of the LC Disbursement by 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of such payment, then by 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of such payment or (ii) if the applicable Issuing Bank has notified the Applicable Borrower of the LC Disbursement after 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of such payment, then by 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Business Day following such payment, in each case without setoff or counterclaim, with interest on the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of such payment, from and including the date paid to but excluding the date reimbursement is made as provided above, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (x) (A) if reimbursement is made prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Business Day following the date of such payment, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars, the CB Floating Rate; in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate; or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Euro or Sterling, a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such LC Disbursement or (B) if reimbursement is made at or after 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Business Day following the date of such payment, 2% above the CB Floating Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate or such cost of funds, as the case may be, plus, in each case, the Applicable Margin, and (y) the Highest Lawful Rate, such interest to be payable on demand.

(ii) Prior to the Maturity Date, unless otherwise paid by the Borrower, such LC Disbursement may, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.3 and Section 8.3 (or, if the Majority Lenders so desire, shall automatically and without need for satisfaction of any such conditions precedent), be paid with the proceeds of Revolving Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, according to the currency in which such Letter of Credit was denominated, to be disbursed on the date of such LC Disbursement in an amount equal to the LC Disbursement.

(iii) The Applicable Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.7(d) to reimburse each Issuing Bank with respect to LC Disbursements (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (except as provided below with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank) and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Applicable Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including such Issuing Bank in its capacity as the issuer of a Letter of Credit or any Lender as a participant therein), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit (other than a defense based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank in determining whether such drawing conforms to the terms of the Letter of Credit) or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing, including any of the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(F) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank).

(iv) Each Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Banks, the Agents and the Lenders that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations under this

Section 2.7(d) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged or any dispute between or among any Borrower or any other party and the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Applicable Borrower or any other party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither any Agent, any Lender nor any Issuing Bank shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Applicable Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. It is the intent of the parties hereto that neither any Agent, any Lender nor any Issuing Bank shall have any liability under this Section 2.7 for the ordinary negligence of such Person.

(v) Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit with respect to which such action was taken, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the Applicable Borrower for whose account the Letter of Credit was issued, and the currency and aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that (A) with respect to any such issuance, renewal, extension or amendment that results in an increase in the amount of any Letter of

Credit, the Issuing Bank shall, upon its receipt of the Applicable Borrower’s request therefor, request written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such issuance, renewal, extension or amendment does not result in non-compliance with this Agreement and (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly and in any event not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, at the location of the Applicable Agent, on the proposed effective date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, provide such confirmation or indication of non-compliance; (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which the Applicable Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of the failure and the currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent (or any Lender, through the Administrative Agent) shall reasonably request as to Letters of Credit.

(vi) If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to Article XI, all amounts (without duplication) (i) that any Borrower is at the time or becomes thereafter required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Applicable Agent or any Issuing Bank in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited cash collateral, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable currency), (ii) that the Lenders are at the time or become thereafter required to pay to the Applicable Agent (and the Applicable Agent is at the time or becomes thereafter required to distribute to an Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 2.7(c) in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made pursuant to any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent calculated using the Spot Exchange Rate on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made) of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to any Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(vii) Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(viii) If, as of the Maturity Date, or upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any one or more Letters of Credit for any

reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn or any LC Disbursement remains partially or wholly unreimbursed, then, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral, the Borrower shall immediately cash collateralize (in the currency of each such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement) the then-outstanding amount of LC Exposures in respect thereof in the manner provided in Section 11.2 in an amount equal to the LC Exposure attributable to such Letters of Credit or such LC Disbursements as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all such cash and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure such obligations. Subject to release therefrom in accordance with Section 11.2, such cash collateral shall remain in blocked, interest-bearing accounts in the name of the Administrative Agent. The obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 11.1(f) or (g).

(e) All Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 2.7 and outstanding on the Closing Date shall be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on such dates and shall be governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2.7(d)), without any further action by any Borrower, any Issuing Bank or any other Person.

2.8. Conflict between Applications and Agreement. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE III
INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS

3.1. Interest Rate Determination.

(a) Except as specified in Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.7, the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, until maturity, at the following rates:

(i) (A) with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars or Sterling, the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the lesser of (x) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, and (y) the applicable Highest Lawful Rate, if any; and (B) with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Euro, the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the lesser of (x) the Adjusted

EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin and (y) the applicable Highest Lawful Rate, if any;

(ii) with respect to any CB Floating Rate Loan, the lesser of (y) the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (z) the applicable Highest Lawful Rate;

(iii) with respect to any CDOR Loan, the lesser of (y) the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such CDOR Loan plus the Applicable Margin and (z) the applicable Highest Lawful Rate;

(iv) with respect to any Canadian Prime Loan, the lesser of (y) the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (z) the applicable Highest Lawful Rate; and

(v) with respect to any Swingline Loan, the lesser of (y) the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (z) the applicable Highest Lawful Rate.

The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, Adjusted EURIBO Rate, CDOR Rate and Canadian Prime Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall be calculated based on a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the CB Floating Rate at times when the CB Floating Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), (ii) interest computed with reference to the Canadian Prime Rate and the CDOR Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and excluding the last day) and (iii) with respect to any Alternative Currency as to which a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, is customarily used as a basis for such calculation, interests with respect to Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency shall be computed on such basis. Interest in all cases shall be calculated and payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, any Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3.1(c),

(i) elect to convert, as of any Business Day, any CB Floating Rate Loans (or any part thereof equal to the relevant Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple of the relevant Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof) into Eurocurrency Loans;

(ii) elect to convert, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any Eurocurrency Loans expiring on such day (or any part thereof equal to the relevant Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple of the relevant Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof) into CB Floating Rate Loans; or

(iii) elect to continue (for the same or a different Interest Period), as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any Eurocurrency Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof equal to the relevant Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple of the relevant Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof);

(iv) elect to convert, as of any Business Day, any Canadian Prime Loans (or any part thereof equal to the relevant Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple of the relevant Borrowing Minimum in excess thereof) into CDOR Loans;

(v) elect to convert, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any CDOR Loans expiring on such day (or any part thereof equal to the relevant Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple of the relevant Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof) into Canadian Prime Loans; or

(vi) elect to continue (for the same or a different Interest Period), as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any CDOR Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof equal to the relevant Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple of the relevant Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof);

provided that, if at any time the outstanding principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans is reduced by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than the Borrowing Minimum for Eurocurrency Loans, such Eurocurrency Loans, if in US Dollars, shall automatically convert into CB Floating Rate Loans and if in Sterling or Euro, shall automatically convert into Loans bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs of the applicable Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans, and on and after such date the right of the applicable Borrower to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans shall terminate; provided further, that if at any time the outstanding principal amount of CDOR Loans is reduced by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than the Borrowing Minimum for CDOR Loans, such CDOR Loans shall automatically convert into Canadian Prime Loans, and on and after such date the right of the applicable Borrower to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, CDOR Loans shall terminate. The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or Canadian Prime Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The 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 Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing or to convert any Borrowing to a Type not permitted to be elected by it pursuant to this Agreement.

No Interest Period may be elected that would end later than the scheduled Maturity Date.

No Interest Period may be elected if such election would require the Administrative Agent to administer concurrently a combination of elective rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate and/or a combination of Interest Periods that exceed an aggregate of ten (10).

(c) To convert or continue a Loan as provided in Section 3.1(b), the Applicable Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Rate Change/Continuation in the form of Exhibit G (a “Notice of Rate Change/Continuation”), to the Applicable Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, at least (i) three Business Days in advance of the Change/Continuation Date, if such Loan is to be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan and is denominated in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (ii) four Business Days in advance of the Change/Continuation Date, if such Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency other than Canadian Dollars; and (iii) one Business Day in advance of the Change/Continuation Date, if such Loan is to be converted into a CB Floating Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Loan, specifying:

(i) the date on which such Loan was made;

(ii) the interest rate then applicable to such Loan;

(iii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan, the Interest Period then applicable to such Loan;

(iv) the amount of such Loan;

(v) the currency in which such Loan was denominated;

(vi) the proposed Change/Continuation Date;

(vii) the aggregate principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued;

(viii) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(ix) if the resulting Loans are Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans, after giving effect to the proposed conversion or continuation, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

(d) If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans, (i) the Applicable Borrower has failed to repay such Loans or to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans prior to the applicable Business Day in advance of the Expiration Date of the current Interest Period applicable thereto as provided in Section 3.1(c), or (ii) any Default or Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Borrower, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to

convert any such Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars into CB Floating Rate Loans or such CDOR Loans into Canadian Prime Loans, as the case may be, effective as of the Expiration Date of such Interest Period, and all conditions to such conversion shall be deemed to have been satisfied (unless such Loans are denominated in Sterling or Euro, in which case such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period).

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Rate Change/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Applicable Borrower and each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

(f) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, (i) no Borrower may elect to have any Borrowing converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars converted into or continued as a CDOR Borrowing, as the case may be, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted into a CB Floating Rate Borrowing, and each CDOR Loan shall be converted into a Canadian Prime Loan, in each case at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing of the same Type with an Interest Period of one month.

(g) Nothing herein shall authorize any Borrower to continue or change the interest rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan prior to the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. No Alternative Currency Borrowing may be converted to a CB Floating Rate Borrowing and no Borrowing denominated in one currency may be converted to another currency.

(h) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary (other than Section 13.10) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount, from time to time outstanding, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal on any Loan, the lesser of (x) 2% above the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loan and (y) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, the lesser of (x) 2% plus the rate applicable to CB Floating Rate Loans at such time and (y) the Highest Lawful Rate.

(i) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination in full of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to subsection (h) of this Section 3.1 shall be due on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued and unpaid

interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. All interest shall be paid in the currency in which the applicable Loan is denominated.

(j) The CB Floating Rate for each CB Floating Rate Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on the first day and on each day such CB Floating Rate Loan shall be outstanding, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. The LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, for the Interest Period for each Eurocurrency Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on the respective Quotation Date. The Canadian Prime Rate for each Canadian Prime Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on the first day and on each day such Canadian Prime Loan shall be outstanding, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. The CDOR Rate for the Interest Period for each CDOR Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on the first day of such Interest Period.

(k) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

3.2. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or other similar requirement against assets, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement (including the Mandatory Costs) included in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate) or an Issuing Bank; or

(ii) shall impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London, European, or Canadian interbank markets any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein or in any Alternative Currency Loan;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan or to participate in an Alternative Currency Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (including maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement, in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, then, upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such increased cost incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Applicable Borrower will not be responsible for paying any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) accruing for a period greater than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case

may be, through the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s, as the case may be, intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any company controlling such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Alternative Currency 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 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), such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and from time to time the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, as the case may be, for such reduction, provided that the Applicable Borrower will not be responsible for paying any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) accruing for a period greater than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s, as the case may be, intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.2, and will use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. The Applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in connection with any such designation or assignment. Any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, claiming compensation under this Section 3.2 shall do so in good faith on a nondiscriminatory basis. In determining such amount, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, setting forth in reasonable detail such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 3.2 may be delivered to the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the

case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, any Lender may, in its sole discretion, fund Loans denominated in Sterling from a lending office located in the UK. In such case, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender, together with and as and when interest (calculated at the rate otherwise applicable under this Agreement) on such Loans is due and payable, any and all Mandatory Costs (to the extent not already included in such interest rate) due or payable by such lending office for the cost of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority, or any other Governmental Authority, as the case may be, which results from funding or maintaining such Loans from such lending office. If at any time a Lender shall reasonably determine after a Change in Law that the Mandatory Costs (calculated as provided in this Agreement) shall fail to represent the actual cost to such Lender or its applicable lending office of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority, or any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, as the case may be, with respect to the funding and maintenance of advances in an Alternative Currency, in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender, then the Applicable Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred.

(e) (i) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority succeeding to all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank (or any other authority succeeding to all or any of its functions), but without duplicating amounts included in the Statutory Reserve Rate or Mandatory Costs, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or by virtue of extending credit in Sterling or Euro to a Borrower, such Borrower shall pay, in addition to interest otherwise due on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan in an amount equal to the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements.

(ii) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks (or other authority succeeding to all or any of the functions of either), but without duplicating amounts included in the Statutory Reserve Rate or the Mandatory Costs) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or by virtue of extending credit in Sterling or Euro to a Borrower, such Borrower shall pay, in addition to interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.

(iii) Any additional interest owed pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall be determined in reasonable detail by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five (5) Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Applicable

Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan. In no event shall any amounts determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above be duplicative of any amount owed by an Applicable Borrower hereunder.

3.3. Limitation on Types of Loans. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive) that for any reason it has become impossible or impracticable to determine the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, or the CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Majority Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans, as applicable, for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and the Lenders prompt notice thereof, and until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to maintain their commitment to make, or to make, additional Eurocurrency Loans of any affected Type or CDOR Loans for, continue Eurocurrency Loans of any affected Type or CDOR Loans for, or convert CB Floating Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans of any affected Type or Canadian Prime Loans into CDOR Loans for, such Interest Period, (ii) on the last day(s) of the then-current Interest Period(s) for any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans of each affected Type and Interest Period or CDOR Loans, as applicable, (A) the Applicable Borrower shall either (y) prepay such Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans, as applicable, or (z) convert such Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars into CB Floating Rate Loans, and such CDOR Loans into Canadian Prime Loans, and (B) any Eurocurrency Loans of each affected Type denominated in Sterling or Euro shall bear interest at such rate as the Applicable Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost of each affected Lender of making or maintaining its Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or continue such Loans for an Interest Period not so affected, (iii) any Notice of Rate Change/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing of any affected Type or CDOR Borrowing, as applicable, for such Interest Period shall be ineffective, and (iv) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in US Dollars (if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is the affected Type) or a CDOR Borrowing, as applicable, for such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be made as a CB Floating Rate Borrowing or Canadian Prime Borrowing, as applicable, and if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Sterling or Euro (if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is the affected Type), as applicable, for such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall bear interest at such rate as the Applicable Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the affected Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. Each Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking

its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such designation or assignment will avoid the effects of this Section 3.3 and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to it. The Applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.4. Illegality.

(a) If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Applicable Borrower, absent manifest error) that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, or CDOR Loan, as the case may be, in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars or any other Alternative Currency, as, or to convert any Loan into, a Eurocurrency Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, or CDOR Loan, as applicable, the obligations of the affected Lender to make, continue, maintain or convert any such Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan shall, on notice thereof from such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Borrower, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto (or sooner, if required by such law or assertion (in which case the provisions of Section 3.5 shall be applicable)) until such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. All Eurocurrency Loans of the affected Type from such Lender denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to CB Floating Rate Loans and all CDOR Loans from such Lender shall be converted to Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans. If such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Alternative Currency, it shall be exchanged into its US Dollar Equivalent amount and be converted into a CB Floating Rate Loan. Upon any such conversion, the Applicable Borrower shall also pay interest on the amount so converted. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Applicable Borrower shall also pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.5.

(b) Each Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such designation or assignment will avoid the effects of this Section 3.4 and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. The Applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan or to maintain, continue, or to convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to this Section 3.4, then, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and this Agreement, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans shall be converted into CB Floating Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, as provided above, and,

unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in this Section 3.4 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans shall be applied instead to its CB Floating Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable; and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans shall be made instead as CB Floating Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, all Loans that would otherwise be continued by such Lender as Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans shall be converted instead into CB Floating Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans shall instead remain as CB Floating Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in this Section 3.4 that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans pursuant to this Section 3.4 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s CB Floating Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

3.5. Compensation. Upon the request of any Lender, and except as expressly provided herein, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (including loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan for any reason (including the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article XI) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan;

(b) any failure by any Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Article VIII to be satisfied) to borrow, convert, continue, or prepay a Eurocurrency Loan or a CDOR Loan on the date for such borrowing, conversion, continuation, or prepayment specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto; or

(c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a requirement by any Borrower pursuant to Section 3.6 or the CAM Exchange.

In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan plus the Applicable Margin that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then- current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for 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 in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

3.6. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2 or 4.8, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or otherwise has given notice pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 (unless in each case the basis for such request or notice is generally applicable to all Lenders), or does not approve any request by the Borrower to extend the then-scheduled Maturity Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent within ninety (90) days of such request or notice, if no Default or Event of Default exists, require such Lender to assign and delegate without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.9), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.9(b)(ii)(C), (ii) the Borrower shall have received the applicable consents specified in Section 13.9(b), (iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (subject in each case to Section 4.7), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.2 or 4.8, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments; (v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments and consents, the number of Lenders necessary to effect such waiver, amendment or other modification has been obtained; and (vi) such assignment does not violate applicable Law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation

cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that any assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

3.7. Yearly Rate. Whenever interest hereunder is by the terms hereof to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365 days during a year of 366 days), the rate of interest applicable under this Agreement to such calculation expressed as an annual rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such rate as so calculated multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 (or 365), as applicable.

3.8. Survival. The agreements contained in this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations for a period of 180 days thereafter.

ARTICLE IV
PREPAYMENTS AND OTHER PAYMENTS; REDUCTION AND
EXPANSION OF COMMITMENTS

4.1. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) (i) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (without duplication) (A) to the Applicable Agent for the account of each applicable Lender the then-unpaid principal amount of each of such Borrower’s Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date, and (B) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Banks all LC Disbursements made pursuant to Letters of Credit issued to such Borrower, as provided in Section 2.7(d), and (ii) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Swingline Bank the then-unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the date such Swingline Loan is due pursuant to Section 2.6.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsection (b)or (c) of this Section 4.1 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner

affect the obligation of an Applicable Borrower to repay the Loans received by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each Applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit D, payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.9) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

4.2. Required Prepayments. The Administrative Agent will determine the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure and of each Loan on each Spot Currency Determination Date. In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that the US Dollar Equivalent of the Total Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Commitment, or that the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Alternative Currency Exposures of any Class exceeds the total Alternative Currency Commitments with respect to such Class, or that the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Alternative Currency Exposures exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit, then it will notify the Borrower and the Borrower will (or will cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to), within two (2) Business Days following such notice, make a prepayment of principal of any one or more Revolving Loans (in the Borrower’s sole discretion), in an amount at least equal to such excess, together with (y) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of such prepayment and (z) all amounts due, if any, under Section 3.5 (or, if no Revolving Loans are then outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.2 in an aggregate amount equal to such excess as cash collateral for the reimbursement obligations of such Borrower).

4.3. Optional Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loans made to it, in whole or in part; provided that each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least the relevant Borrowing Minimum or any Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof (provided that the resulting Loan shall be in an amount at least the relevant Borrowing Minimum, unless prepaid completely), in each case together with (y) interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment and (z) all amounts due, if any, under Section 3.5. In connection with each voluntary prepayment the Applicable Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan or Alternative Currency Loan, the Swingline Bank or Alternative Currency Lenders) with notice of its intention to prepay,

(i) no later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time on the date of prepayment in the case of CB Floating Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans,

(ii) no later than 11:00 a.m. Houston Time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars,

(iii) no later than (y) 11:00 a.m. London Time four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, or (z) 11:00 a.m. Toronto Time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment in the case of CDOR Loans, and

(iv) no later than 11:00 a.m. Houston Time on the date of prepayment in the case of Swingline Loans.

Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the account of the Applicable Borrower to be charged if such prepayment is to be so effected. Notice of such prepayment having been given, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. If such Borrower pays or prepays any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such payment shall be subject to Section 3.5. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment shall be applied to each Borrowing (and within each such Borrowing, ratably to the Loans therein) designated in the corresponding notice of prepayments.

4.4. No Prepayment Premium or Penalty. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 shall be without premium or penalty but shall be subject to Section 3.5.

4.5. Payments and Prepayments.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. All payments and prepayments made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 3.2, 3.5 or 4.8) shall be made no later than the time expressly required hereunder for such payment (or, if no time is expressly required, no later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the day when due), in immediately available funds, to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders or the relevant Issuing Bank, to an account that the Applicable Agent shall have identified in a notice delivered to the Applicable Borrower, except payments to be made for the account of an Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank shall be made as expressly provided herein and except that all payments pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 4.8 and 13.12 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, no later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, with notice of each such payment being given to the Administrative Agent. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) or LC Disbursements shall be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars.

(b) Unless (i) otherwise set forth herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders or (ii) the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Applicable Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank that the Applicable Borrower will not make such payment in full, such Applicable

Agent may assume that such Applicable Borrower has made such payment in full to such Applicable Agent on such date and such Applicable Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) cause to be distributed to each Lender or Issuing Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due. If and to the extent the Applicable Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to such Applicable Agent, each Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to such Applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until but excluding the date such Lender or such Issuing Bank repays such amount to such Applicable Agent, (y) in the case of an amount denominated in US Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Applicable Agent in accordance banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (z) in the case of an amount denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate reasonably determined by such Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(c) The Applicable Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its Pro Rata Percentage or Applicable Participation Percentage (as the case may be) with respect to the Loan or Loans being prepaid of payments received by it pursuant to Section 4.5(a) in immediately available funds, except that all reimbursement payments in respect of losses, expenses, funding losses or the like shall be retained by the Applicable Agent or remitted to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks according to their respective appropriate entitlement to such reimbursement and, in each case, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any notice of prepayment), payments and prepayments shall be applied (i) first to accrued and unpaid fees (to the extent then payable), then (ii) to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent then payable), then (iii) to the payment of unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, then (iv) to the principal of CB Floating Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Loans, and (v) then to the principal of Eurocurrency and CDOR Loans (and among CDOR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans, first to those with the earliest expiring Interest Periods).

(d) If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent receives any payment or prepayment from the Borrowers and fails to distribute such payment or prepayment to the applicable Lenders ratably on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Percentages or Applicable Participation Percentages (as the case may be) with respect to the Class of the Loan or Loans being prepaid on the day the Administrative Agent receives such payment or prepayment (or, if the Administrative Agent receives the same after 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the immediately following Business Day), and such distribution shall not be so made by the Administrative Agent in full on the required day, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender interest on the amount owed each Lender at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funds for each day from the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent by the Applicable Borrower until the date the Administrative Agent pays such amount to such Lender. Notwithstanding the Administrative Agent’s failure to so distribute any such payment, as between the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, such payment shall be deemed received and collected as provided in Section 4.5(a).

(e) No party hereto (or guarantor thereof) shall be liable to any other party hereto (or guarantor thereof) in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of

any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds in US Dollars to the account with the bank in the principal financial center which the Applicable Borrower or, as the case may be, any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have specified for such purpose. In this subsection (e), “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures or such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of US Dollars.

(f) 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 (unless, in the case of Eurocurrency Borrowings or CDOR Borrowings, the result of such extension of time would be to extend the date of such payment into another calendar month or beyond the scheduled Maturity Date, and in either such event such payment shall be made on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such payment would otherwise have been due), and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

4.6. Sharing of Set-offs. If any Lender or Issuing Bank shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim pursuant to Section 13.8 or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate principal amount of its Revolving Loans, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender or Issuing Bank receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders, as applicable, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 such obligations then due and payable to the Lenders; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Alternative Currency Loans and Swingline Loans to any permitted assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Applicable Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation.

4.7. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon a Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender, and upon notice to such effect by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders, the Swingline Bank and the Borrower (which notice shall be given promptly after the Administrative Agent becomes aware that any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, including as a result of being advised thereof by any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or the Borrower) the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the commitment fee payable pursuant to Section 5.1 shall cease to accrue on the Unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, and no portion of any Loan repaid after a Lender becomes, and while it remains, a Defaulting Lender shall thereafter be deemed or considered a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Unused Commitment;

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 13.17), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification that increases the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender or reduces the principal amount due to the Defaulting Lender, or interest payable on, Loans or payments made by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, or extends any scheduled principal payment due to the Defaulting Lender shall require its consent to the same extent as if it were not a Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation, the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be disregarded from the Total Commitments in determining such non-Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (c)(i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (without obligation to prepay the Swingline Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender) and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (c)(i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.2 (and the cash so deposited shall be held, invested and applied by the Administrative Agent in a manner consistent with the investment and other procedures described in

Section 11.2) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding and such Lender is a Defaulting Lender;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 5.4 (and no such fees shall accrue) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.4(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentages after giving effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 5.4 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above.

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Bank shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit with respect to which such Defaulting Lender has a Commitment, unless it is satisfied that the Defaulting Lender’s then-outstanding LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure, as applicable, will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.7(c)(ii), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 4.7(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(e) No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected and, except as expressly provided in this Section 4.7, performance by the Borrowers of their obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 4.7. The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 4.7 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Agent, the Swingline Bank, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender other than a Defaulting Lender may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Borrower, each other Loan Party, each Agent, the Swingline Bank, each Issuing Bank, and each Lender other than a Defaulting Lender shall have a claim

against any Defaulting Lender for any losses it might suffer as a result of the operation of this Section 4.7).

(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender (the date of agreement by all such Persons hereinafter called the “Remedy Date”), then (i) the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations in Swingline Loans and the participations of the Lenders in Letters of Credit shall be readjusted to reflect that such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender; (ii) on the Remedy Date, such Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (and participations in their respective Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure) as may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans and LC Exposure in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage or Applicable Participation Percentage (as the case may be); and (iii) such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender.

4.8. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Applicable Agent shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. If an Applicable Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.8), such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Applicable Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Applicable Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Applicable Borrower shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to a taxation authority or other authority, deliver official tax receipts or certified copies of such receipts issued by such taxation authority or other authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.8(a), the Applicable Borrower shall timely pay any and all Other Taxes to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with applicable law, to the extent such Other Taxes are imposed on such Borrower under applicable law.

(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender, each Agent and each Issuing Bank for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.8) paid by such Lender, such Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Applicable Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or

Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender, such Applicable Agent or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by any Agent on its own behalf on or behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Lender, any Issuing Bank, nor any Agent shall be indemnified for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.8(c) unless such Lender, such Issuing Bank, or such Agent (as the case may be) shall make written demand on the Applicable Borrower for such reimbursement no later than six (6) months after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant taxing authority makes written demand upon such Person for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, or (ii) the date on which such Person has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the six-month period referred to in this Section 4.8(c) shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Alternative Currency Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank that are paid or payable by such Agent or Alternative Currency Lender (if applicable) in connection with any Loan Document plus any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any amounts for which such Agent or Alternative Currency Lender, if applicable, has been reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower), whether or not such Excluded 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 the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank by an Agent or an Alternative Currency Lender (if applicable) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Nothing herein shall prevent any Lender or any Issuing Bank from contesting the applicability of any Excluded Taxes that it believes to have been incorrectly or illegally imposed or asserted by any Governmental Authority; provided that no such contest shall suspend the obligation of any Lender or Issuing Bank to pay amounts due to an Agent or any Alternative Currency Lender (if applicable) as provided in the first sentence of this Section 4.8(d).

(e) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or a reduction in withholding taxes with respect to payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with such properly completed and executed documentation as prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided, that Lenders (other than Lenders lending to the UK Borrower from a lending office in the UK) cannot qualify for the UK domestic exemption from withholding tax and need not provide any such evidence with respect to such tax. In addition, each Lender, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of

each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by applicable law or as requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will certify that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding and enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the Applicable Borrower is a United States Person or is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to such Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent or as required by applicable law, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally required to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, claiming eligibility for the benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower, as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority or applicable law (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code), as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Without limiting the foregoing, if a Lender or an Issuing Bank would be subject to United States federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA on payments made under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document and such Lender or Issuing Bank fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall provide such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender or such Issuing Bank has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any such payments.

Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.8(e), each Lender or Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or a reduction in withholding taxes with respect to payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender and Issuing Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank in the case of each other Lender or Issuing Bank, and from time to time thereafter as required by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender or Issuing Bank, as are required under such laws to confirm such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduced rate of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Applicable Borrower that is not a United States Person and that is not engaged in a trade or business in the United States or otherwise to establish such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall promptly (i) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction in withholding taxes with respect to payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, (ii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that the Applicable Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, and (iii) deliver to the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent any properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit payments pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender or an Issuing Bank has failed to provide the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 4.8(e) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.8 with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed in excess of the amount of Indemnified Taxes that would have been imposed had such Lender or such Issuing Bank provided the appropriate form; provided, that should a Lender or an Issuing Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding Tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Applicable Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) Additionally, the Borrower shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to any Applicable Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as such Applicable Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall reasonably request, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and

completed by the relevant Loan Party, as are required under applicable laws in connection with any payment by any Applicable Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents with respect to such jurisdiction.

(h) If a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.8, such Lender will agree to 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 so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue unless such change, in the sole discretion of such Lender, is or will be not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, designee, assignee or any of their respective Affiliates.

(i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreement and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 4.8 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the expiry of all Letters of Credit, and the termination of all Commitments.

(j) If any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.8, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Applicable Borrower under this Section 4.8 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest received by such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that (without limiting the obligations of any Applicable Borrower under Section 4.8(c)) such Borrower, upon the request of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, shall repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any and all penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in the event such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential to any Borrower or any other Person.

(k) A UK Treaty Lender which holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme which becomes a party to this Agreement, and that wishes that scheme to apply to a UK Loan or a Letter of Credit issued in the UK to the UK Borrower, shall include an indication to that effect by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in Schedule 2.1 hereto, or, where relevant, in the relevant Assignment and Assumption (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Borrower) or in such Lender’s Joinder Agreement. If such Lender includes the indication described above, the UK Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date or the effective date of the relevant Assignment and Assumption or Joinder Agreement (as the case may be). If a Lender has not indicated that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply in accordance with this subsection (k) as per the above, no Borrower shall

file any form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of any UK Loans held by such Lender or any Letters of Credit issued for the account of the UK Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.8(k) shall require a UK Treaty Lender to (i) register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme or (ii) apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any UK Loan held by such Lender or any Letters of Credit issued for the account of the UK Borrower if it has so registered. If on the Closing Date a UK Treaty Lender has applied for but not yet received its passport exemption, upon receipt of the necessary information from that Lender the UK Borrower will file a completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs as soon as reasonably possible after the UK Borrower’s receipt of such information.

4.9. Reduction and Termination of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, permanently reduce on a pro rata basis or terminate the Commitments of the Lenders or, if there are no outstanding Loans to or Letters of Credit issued for the account of, a Subsidiary Borrower, terminate a Subsidiary Borrower’s right to request a Borrowing or Letter of Credit hereunder, in each case by giving not less than three (3) full Business Days’ prior written notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) any partial reduction shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, immediately after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 4.3, the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment. Upon any such termination such Subsidiary Borrower shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower (but, unless unrestricted, shall continue to be a Restricted Subsidiary or Material Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be). Promptly after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and each Issuing Bank of the proposed reduction or termination, and such reduction or termination shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice with respect to such reduction or termination. Each reduction of the Commitments shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. After each such reduction, the commitment fee shall be calculated upon the Total Commitment as so reduced. Any reduction or termination of the Commitments hereunder shall be irrevocable.

4.10. Repayment in Connection with Commitment Reductions, Certain Currency Exchange Fluctuations and on Maturity Date. Upon the effective date of each voluntary reduction in the Commitments referred to in Section 4.9(b) and at any time that the US Dollar Equivalent (at the Spot Exchange Rate) of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans causes the sum of the amount of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposures to exceed the amount of the Total Commitment on any Spot Currency Determination Date, then, within two (2) Business Days of such Spot Currency Determination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the principal amount of the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans, to the extent, if any, that (a) the aggregate principal amount of any Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate LC Exposures

exceeds (b) the amount of the Total Commitment as so reduced. Accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of the Loans so prepaid shall be due and payable at the time of such prepayment. All amounts of principal, interest and fees relating to Loans not due and payable before the Maturity Date are due and payable on that date. If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Total Commitment, any Alternative Currency Sublimit shall exceed the amount of the Total Commitment as so reduced, such Alternative Currency Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

4.11. Increase of the Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and to the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right to cause from time to time an increase in the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders (together with an increase in the Alternative Currency Sublimit, if the Borrower shall so request and if one or more Alternative Currency Lenders are available to fund such Loans if the Lenders otherwise are unable to fund such Loans) (each, a “Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more commercial banks or other recognized financial institutions that are not already Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks (each, an “Additional Lender”) or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments (each, an “Increasing Revolving Lender”); provided that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the relevant Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) no such Commitment Increase shall be less than $10,000,000, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all such Commitment Increases shall not exceed $100,000,000, (iv) no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), and (v) if, on the relevant Commitment Increase Effective Date, any Revolving Loans have been funded, each Applicable Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to Section 3.5 in connection with the reallocation of such outstanding Revolving Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice in the form of Exhibit H (a “Notice of Commitment Increase”) of its intention to increase the Commitments pursuant to this Section 4.11. Each such Notice of Commitment Increase shall specify (i) the Class with respect to which such Commitment Increase is proposed; (ii) the proposed effective date of such Commitment Increase (each such date, a “Commitment Increase Effective Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Notice of Commitment Increase, (iii) the amount of the requested Commitment Increase (provided that after giving effect to such requested Commitment Increase, the aggregate principal amount of all Commitment Increases does not exceed the amount set forth in subsection (a)(iii) above), and (iv) the identity of, the amount of the Commitment requested by, and notification information for, each proposed Additional Lender. The Borrower shall give the existing Lenders the first opportunity to provide any increase in the Commitment.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Additional Lenders promptly following its receipt of each Notice of Commitment Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within the time permitted in the Notice of Commitment Increase whether it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an

amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Percentage or Applicable Participation Percentage, as the case may be, of the requested increase. Each Additional Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period of the amount, if any, it agrees to commit to such proposed Commitment Increase. Any Lender or Additional Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment or commit to such Commitment Increase, as the case may be. If more than one existing Lender offers to provide an increase in the Commitments, such increase shall be allocated among the offering Lenders according to their Pro Rata Percentages or Applicable Participation Percentages, as the case may be.

(d) The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall allocate the Commitments among the Lenders and, if the Lenders do not subscribe to the entire amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the Additional Lenders; provided, that no Lender or Additional Lender shall be allocated a Commitment less than $5,000,000.00. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, each Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each proposed Additional Lender of the amount of the Commitment of each that has resulted. Such notice shall set forth the effective date and amount of the Commitment Increase, the names of the Additional Lenders and their respective Commitments and the names of the existing Lenders and their respective Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Commitment of an existing Lender shall be increased or reduced until all consents under Section 13.17 have been received. To the extent one or more Additional Lenders are required to achieve the full amount of the requested Commitment Increase, each Additional Lender becoming a party hereto shall enter into a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit L to this Agreement (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) with the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and assuming thereby to the extent set forth therein all rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder.

(e) As a condition precedent to such an increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender and each Additional Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained herein and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. On or about the date of such increase, all outstanding Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Pro Rata Percentages of the Total Commitment.

(f) On each Commitment Increase Effective Date, to the extent that there are Revolving Loans outstanding as of such date, (i) each Additional Lender shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such Additional Lender’s New Funds Amount, which amount, for each such Additional Lender, shall constitute Revolving Loans made by such Additional Lender to the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Agreement on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) each Increasing Revolving Lender shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such

Increasing Revolving Lender’s New Funds Amount, which amount, for each such Increasing Revolving Lender, shall constitute Revolving Loans made by such Increasing Revolving Lender to the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Agreement on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pay to each then Reducing Percentage Lender its Reduction Amount, which amount, for each such Reducing Percentage Lender, shall constitute a prepayment by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 4.3, ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts thereof, of the principal amounts of all then outstanding Revolving Loans of such Reducing Percentage Lender, provided that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to ratably pay any Lenders other than Reducing Percentage Lenders and (iv) the applicable Borrower shall be responsible to pay to each Lender any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to Section 3.5 in connection with the reallocation of any outstanding Revolving Loans.

(g) For purposes of this Section 4.11 and Exhibit H, the following defined terms shall have the following meanings: (i) “New Funds Amount” means the amount equal to the product of (A) an Additional Lender’s Commitment or an Increasing Revolving Lender’s increased Commitment, as applicable, represented as a percentage of the Total Commitment after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, times (B) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans immediately prior to giving effect to such Commitment Increase, if any, as of any Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to any increase in the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans as a result of borrowings made immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase on such Commitment Increase Effective Date); (ii) “Reducing Percentage Lender” means, immediately prior to giving effect to any Commitment Increase, each then existing Lender that does not increase its Commitment as a result of such Commitment Increase and whose relative percentage of the Commitments shall be reduced after giving effect to such Commitment Increase; and (iii) “Reduction Amount” means the amount by which a Reducing Percentage Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans decrease as of any Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to the effect of any borrowings made on such Commitment Increase Effective Date immediately after giving effect to the Commitment Increase occurring on such Commitment Increase Effective Date).

(h) Each Commitment Increase shall become effective on the corresponding Commitment Increase Effective Date, and upon such effectiveness (i) the Administrative Agent shall record in the Register each Additional Lender’s information as provided in the applicable Notice of Commitment Increase and pursuant to an Administrative Questionnaire that shall be executed and delivered by each Additional Lender to the Administrative Agent on or before such Commitment Increase Effective Date, (ii) Schedule 2.1 shall be amended and restated to set forth all Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) that will be Lenders hereunder after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender (including each Additional Lender) a copy of such amended and restated Schedule 2.1, and (iii) each Additional Lender identified on the Notice of Commitment Increase for such Commitment Increase shall be a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement.

(i) Each Commitment Increase shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the applicable Commitment Increase Effective

Date that (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Commitment Increase Effective Date, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, on and as of such Commitment Increase Effective Date, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier date, and (ii) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(j) If any modification to this Agreement is required for such an increase, it shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. So long as such modifications do not decrease the interest rates or fees payable in connection with the Loans and LC Disbursements and are for the purpose of allocating amounts ratably among the Lenders, changing the mechanics and other necessary changes to this Agreement to make the increase effective, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its behalf as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate; provided that the interest rates, commitment fees or Letter of Credit Fees applicable to any Commitments of the Lenders prior to such modification shall not, in any event, be decreased pursuant to such modification; and provided further that if any such Additional Lender is entitled to interest rates, commitment fees or Letter of Credit Fees in excess of those provided for the Commitments outstanding at the time of such modification, such higher interest and fee rates shall be made to apply to the Commitment of each Lender thereafter.

ARTICLE V
FEES

5.1. Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee from the Closing Date to, but not including, the date on which the Commitment of such Lender terminates, at the Applicable Margin for commitment fees from time to time in effect, on the daily average amount of such Lender’s Unused Commitment, such commitment fee to be payable in arrears and due sixty-one (61) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. For purposes of calculating the commitment fee for any period during which Loans in both US Dollars and Alternative Currencies were outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall use the US Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currencies calculated on the basis of the Spot Exchange Rate for such Alternative Currencies, on or as of the most recent Spot Currency Determination Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

5.2. Arrangement Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay the arrangement fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Arrangers.

5.4. Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Each Applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Applicable Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (based upon their respective Pro Rata Percentages in such Letter of Credit), a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Applicable Borrower (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), which shall accrue from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of existing Letters of Credit, the Closing Date) to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Letter of Credit Fees on the US Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Applicable Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (i) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder on behalf of such Applicable Borrower, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of existing Letters of Credit, the Closing Date) to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit, on the US Dollar Equivalent of such Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit and (ii) such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, or renewal or extension of any such Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees due to the Applicable Agent and an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, shall be paid in immediately available funds, and, (i) as to standby Letters of Credit, shall be payable in arrears and due sixty-one (61) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof and on the date each such Letter of Credit expires (with any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate to be due within ten (10) days after demand) and (ii) as to commercial Letters of Credit, shall be paid at issuance.

5.5. Fees Not Interest; Nonpayment. The fees described in this Agreement represent compensation for services rendered and to be rendered separate and apart from the lending of money or the provision of credit and do not constitute compensation for the use, detention, or forbearance of money, and, subject to Section 13.10, the obligation of the Borrower to pay each fee described herein shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations of the Borrowers to pay interest, other fees described in this Agreement and expenses otherwise described in this Agreement. Fees shall be payable when due in US Dollars (except as otherwise provided herein) and in immediately available funds. All fees payable hereunder, including, without limitation, the commitment fee referred to in Section 5.1, shall, unless otherwise agreed, be non-refundable.

ARTICLE VII
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower makes the following representations and warranties:

7.1. Organization and Qualification. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) has the corporate or equivalent power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted; and (c) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary and where failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.2. Financial Statements.

The financial statements described above have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the financial statements referred to in clause (b) above. The financial statements described above fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the results of their operations and their cash flow as of the dates and for the periods indicated. As of the Closing Date, there has been no event since January 30, 2010, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, there exist no material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses of the Borrower or any Subsidiary which are not fully disclosed in the financial statements described in the first sentence above.

7.3. Litigation. As of the Closing Date, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending (or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened) against the Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court, administrative agency or arbitrator (i) which, except for matters disclosed in the Borrower’s current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as available pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 9.1), could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involves any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

7.4. Title to Properties. The Borrower and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to, or valid leasehold interests in, the material real and personal Properties purported to be owned or leased by it, free of any Liens except those permitted in Section 10.1.

7.5. Payment of Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, provincial and non-U.S. income and other tax returns which are required to be filed by or in respect of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their assets and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes as shown on such returns or on any assessment received by it to the extent that such taxes have become due, except for such taxes and assessments (i) as are not yet delinquent, (ii) as are being contested in good faith and, if necessary for such contest, by appropriate proceedings and reserved for in accordance with GAAP in the manner required by

Section 9.9 or (iii) where failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, has not and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.6. Conflicting Agreements or Restrictions. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby nor its fulfillment and compliance with the respective terms, conditions and provisions thereof will (a) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, the provisions of (i) any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court which is applicable to it or (ii) any material contract or agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (b) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien on any material portion of its Property pursuant to the express provisions of any material agreement to which it is a party, or (c) result in any violation by it of (i) its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) any Law or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to it.

7.7. Authorization, Validity, Etc. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has the corporate or equivalent power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party, consummate the transactions contemplated therein to be consummated by it and perform its obligations thereunder, and all such action has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or equivalent proceedings on its part. The Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party have been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries party thereto and constitute valid and legally binding agreements of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by Debtor Relief Laws.

7.8. Investment Company Act Not Applicable. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

7.9. Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally or as one of its important activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and no proceeds of any Loan will be used (a) to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock; (b) to reduce or retire any Debt which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock; (c) for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X; or (d) to acquire any security of any Person who is subject to Sections 13 and 14 of the Exchange Act. After applying the proceeds of each Loan, not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value (as determined in accordance with Regulation U) of the Borrower’s assets is represented by Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any Person acting on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, has taken or will take any action which might cause any Loan Document or the Transactions to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board, as now or hereafter in effect.

7.10. ERISA; Foreign Benefit and Pension Plans.

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably

expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 35) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan.

(b) All obligations of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries under each Canadian Pension Plan and Canadian Benefit Plan have been performed in accordance with the terms thereof and any requirement of applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Supplemental Pension Plan Act (Quebec)), except where the failure to so perform would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Canadian Pension Plan has any unfunded liabilities on an actuarial basis which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and in substantial compliance with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan determined as of the end of the most recently ended Fiscal Year prior to the Closing Date on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed by more than the Alternative Currency Equivalents of $25,000,000 the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

7.11. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Subsidiary in writing to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the Information Memorandum) is, and all other such information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, (a) true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and (b) when taken as a whole with all such written information provided to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. There is no fact known to any Borrower or any Subsidiary that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been disclosed herein or in such other written documents, information or certificates furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.12. Permits and Licenses. All material permits, licenses and other Governmental Approvals necessary for the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries to carry on their respective businesses have been obtained and are in full force and effect, and neither the

Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in material breach of the foregoing.

7.13. Capital Structure. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower owns the percentage of all classes of Equity Interests of each Subsidiary, and the owner of record of each Subsidiary as of the date hereof is as set forth in Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Letter. Except for the Subsidiaries described in Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Letter or as otherwise notified to the Administrative Agent in writing pursuant to Section 9.1(m), the Borrower has no other Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no partnership, joint venture or other Equity Interests in any other Person except as set forth in Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Letter. As of the Closing Date, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Equity Interest of each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries are fully paid and nonassessable, are owned of record by the Person designated for such entity in Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Letter, and, except for Liens created by the Pledge Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Equity Interest of each Subsidiary are free and clear of any Lien. As of the Closing Date, (i) each Material Restricted Subsidiary is identified as such in Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Letter and (ii) each Guarantor and each Non-Guaranteeing Restricted Subsidiary is identified as such in Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Letter. Except as set forth in Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Letter, there are no preemptive rights, offers, options, rights, agreements or commitments of any kind (contingent or otherwise) relating to the issuance, conversion, registration, voting, sale, or transfer of any Equity Interests or other securities of any Material Domestic Subsidiary or any First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary or obligating any Material Domestic Subsidiary or any First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary to purchase or redeem any such Equity Interests or other securities pursuant to the organizational documents of any such Person or any agreement or other instrument to which such Person is a party or by which it is bound.

7.14. Insurance. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries maintain insurance of such types as is usually carried by corporations of established reputation engaged in the same or similar business and which are similarly situated (“Similar Businesses”) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies and associations (or as to workers’ compensation or similar insurance, in an insurance fund or by self-insurance authorized by the jurisdiction in which its operations are carried on), and in such amounts as such insurance is usually carried by Similar Businesses; provided that nothing in this Section 7.14 shall preclude the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from being self-insured (to the extent customary with Similar Businesses). Section 7.14 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance which are then due and payable have been paid except for such premiums as are subject to good faith dispute and the coverage of which remains in force, except as to trivial and insignificant coverage scope.

7.15. Compliance with Laws. The business and operations of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary as conducted at all times have been and are in compliance in all respects with all applicable Laws, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.16. Environmental Matters. Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, or (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability.

7.17. No Consent. Except to the extent the same has already been obtained and is in full force and effect, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Person or any Governmental Authority is required to be made or obtained by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, the borrowings hereunder or issuance of Letters of Credit, in each case as contemplated herein, or the effectuation of the transactions contemplated under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

104

(b) Immediately upon the designation or deemed designation of any Material Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the definition thereof (and until designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof), the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary which owns any Equity Interest in or Debt of such Material Restricted Subsidiary shall, to the extent not already a party thereto, become a party to the Pledge Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplement thereto (a form of which is set forth as Annex 1 to the Pledge Agreement) (a “Pledge Agreement Supplement”), whereupon the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a “Pledgor” as defined in the Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to such Pledge Agreement Supplement, such Equity Interest and Debt shall be pledged as a lien to secure the Obligations, which shall constitute a first priority lien (except that if such Material Restricted Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary, such Equity Interest of such Material Restricted Subsidiary shall only be pledged if such Material Restricted Subsidiary is a First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary, and in such case, such Equity Interest to be pledged shall be limited to 65% of the outstanding Equity Interest of such Material Restricted Subsidiary). Together with the foregoing, each such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Restricted Subsidiary has taken all corporate or equivalent action and obtained all consents necessary to duly approve and authorize its execution and delivery of a Pledge Agreement Supplement and the performance of its obligations under the Pledge Agreement, (ii) if such Equity Interests are evidenced by a certificate, all such certificates accompanied by stock or unit (or other similar) powers executed in blank, (iii) any other documents which it is required hereunder or under any other Loan Document to execute and (iv) if requested by the Administrative Agent, an opinion of counsel to such Subsidiary in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(d) It is agreed and understood that the agreement of the Borrower under this Section 9.7 to cause any such Material Restricted Subsidiary to become a party to the Guaranty Agreement and to cause the Equity Interest and Debt of such Material Restricted Subsidiary to be pledged as security for the Obligations is a condition precedent to the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement, and that the entry into this Agreement by the Lenders constitutes good and adequate consideration therefor.

9.8. Patents, Trademarks and Licenses. Maintain, and cause each Restricted Subsidiary to maintain, all franchises, licenses, permits, patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, and other general intangibles and intellectual property owned or licensed by any of them, and all other Governmental Approvals necessary to conduct its business, except where the failure to so maintain is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.9. Taxes; Obligations. Pay, and cause each Subsidiary to pay, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, its obligations, including tax liabilities, that, if not

105

paid, could result in a Material Adverse Effect, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (b) the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto (including any potential penalties and interest) in accordance with GAAP.

9.10. Compliance with Federal Reserve Regulations. No proceeds of the Loans and no Letter of Credit shall be used, in whole or in part, by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, directly or indirectly, to purchase or carry, or to reduce or retire or refinance any credit incurred to purchase or carry, any “margin security” or “margin stock,” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock.” No Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, otherwise take or permit to be taken any action which would result in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the carrying out of any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement being violative of Regulation T, U or X of the Board or any other regulation of the Board. If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall complete and sign Part I of a copy of the Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U of the Board and deliver such copy to each Lender.

9.11. Pensions. The Borrower shall furnish prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent of its receipt of a Financial Support Direction or a Contribution Notice from the Pensions Regulator which could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding the US Dollar Equivalent of $25,000,000.

11.2. Collateral Account. The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) upon the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments, or (ii) if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing not less than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount in cash equal to the total LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in subsection (f) or (g) of Section 11.1. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.7, 4.2 or 4.7. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment of the Obligations. Until the occurrence of a Return Event (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for the purposes expressly provided in this Section 11.2, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, such investments shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements and fees for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the total LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing not less than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy the payment of other matured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, free of any Lien or other interest in favor of any Applicable Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (such return, a “Cure Return”). If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 4.2, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 4.2 and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, free and clear of any Lien or other interest in favor of any Applicable Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (such return and a Cure Return, each, a “Return Event”). The rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under this Section 11.2 may be exercised from time to time and at all such times as the conditions precedent thereto may exist.

118

11.3. Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies given by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any of such rights or remedies or of any other rights or remedies available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, and no course of dealing between any Borrower or any other Loan Party, on one hand, and any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, on the other hand, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy, shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy, and every right and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed appropriate by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender.

ARTICLE XII
THE AGENTS

12.1. Authorization and Action. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the entities named as the Administrative Agent, the European Agent and the Canadian Agent to serve as the Administrative Agent, the European Agent or the Canadian Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents and to take such action in such capacity on such Lender’s and Issuing Bank’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including the enforcement or collection of amounts owing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 13.17), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable law. The Agents are hereby expressly authorized:

(a) to receive on behalf of each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks any payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or LC Disbursements outstanding hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder paid to such Agent, and promptly to distribute to each Lender and each Issuing Bank (other than Defaulting Lenders as set forth herein) its proper share of all payments so received;

(b) to give notice within a reasonable time on behalf of each Lender or Issuing Bank to the Borrower of any Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge as provided in Section 12.8;

(c) to distribute to the Lenders and Issuing Banks copies of all notices, agreements and other materials as provided for in this Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent; and

(d) to distribute to the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, as appropriate, any and all requests, demands and approvals received by the Administrative Agent from any Lender or Issuing Bank. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any

119

Agent as a trustee for any Lender, Issuing Bank or Participant, nor to impose on any Agent any duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.2. Reliance by Agents. The Agents and their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for such acts or omissions of such Person constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts on the part of such Person. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES THAT THE AGENTS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS AND OMISSIONS HEREUNDER RESULTING THAT CONSTITUTE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY). Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Assumption entered into by the Lender which is the payee of such promissory note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 13.9; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any collateral provided for therein, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission permitted by this Agreement) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. The Agents and their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall not have any responsibility to any Borrower or any other Loan Party on account of the failure or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or Issuing Bank of any of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s obligations hereunder (except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts) or to any Lender or Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or Issuing Bank or any Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith, and except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

12.3. Agents and Affiliates. Without limiting the right of any other Lender to engage in any business transactions with the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, with respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it, its participations in Letters of Credit, any

120

promissory note issued to it, and its interest in the Loan Documents, any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and Issuing Bank may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” and “Issuing Bank” or “Issuing Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include JPMCB in its individual capacity. JPMCB or any of its Affiliates may draft deposits from, and be engaged in, or may hereafter engage in, one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing or other financing activities not the subject of the Loan Documents (such financing activities of JPMCB being, collectively, the “Other Financings”) with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or may act as financial adviser to, or in any other advisory capacity for, or as trustee on behalf of, or depositary for, or otherwise engage in other business transactions with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (all Other Financings and other such business transactions of JPMCB being, collectively, the “Other Activities”) with no responsibility to account therefor to the Lenders or Issuing Banks and as if it were not an Agent hereunder. Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the other Issuing Banks specifically set forth in the Loan Documents, no other Lender or Issuing Bank shall have any interest in (a) any Other Activities, (b) any present or future Guarantee by or for the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party not contemplated or included in the Loan Documents, (c) any present or future offset exercised by an Agent in respect of any such Other Activities, (d) any present or future property taken as security for any such Other Activities, or (e) any property now or hereafter in the possession or control of an Agent which may be or become security for the Obligations by reason of the general description of indebtedness secured, or of property, contained in any other agreements, documents or instruments related to such Other Activities; provided, however, that if any payment in respect of such guarantees or such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied to reduction of the Obligations, then, unless otherwise set forth herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, each Lender shall be entitled to share in such application according to its pro rata portion of such obligations.

12.4. Lender Credit Decisions. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent (or its counsel, advisors or agents) or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 7.2 and such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent (or its counsel, advisors or agents) or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

12.5. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,

121

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY). The Administrative Agent shall not be required to do any act under the Loan Documents or under any other document or instrument delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the agencies hereby created, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or any collateral security, unless indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against loss, cost, liability, and expense. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose is, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, insufficient or becomes impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and not commence or cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

12.6. Employees of the Agents. Each Agent may execute any of its duties and exercise any of its rights or powers as Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any instrument, agreement or document executed, issued or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith, by or through employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such Person and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such agent, attorney-in-fact and shall perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties selected by such Agent with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be permitted from time to time to designate one of its Affiliates to perform the duties to be performed by the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to Loans, Borrowings and Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies. The provisions of this Article XII shall apply to any such Affiliate mutatis mutandis.

12.7. Successor Administrative Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with, so long as no Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower. In addition, in the event that (a) the Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender, (b) such Person has been replaced in its capacity as a Lender pursuant to Section 3.6, (c) if such Person is a Swingline Bank, such Person has been replaced in its capacity as a Swingline Bank pursuant to Section 3.6 and (d) if such Person is an

122

Issuing Bank, (i) the Commitment of such Person, as an Issuing Bank, has been terminated pursuant to Section 4.9(b) and (ii) no Letters of Credit issued by such Person, as an Issuing Bank, are outstanding such time (unless arrangements satisfactory to such Person for the cash collateralization thereof have been made), then the Majority Lenders may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, remove such Person from its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and appoint a successor agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided, however, that the consent or agreement of such Person, in any of its capacities, shall not be required in respect of its removal as a Lender, a Swingline Bank or an Issuing Bank. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, subject to the requirement that such Administrative Agent will execute such documents and take such actions as may be necessary or desirable to cause the successor Administrative Agent to be vested with all such rights, powers, privileges and duties. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII 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.

12.8. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or “notice of event of default,” as applicable. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and, if such notice is received from a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to take action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Default as provided in this Article XII.

12.9. Execution of Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver each Loan Document (including, without limitation, those specified in Section 13.21) to be executed by the Administrative Agent on or about the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.10. No Other Duties, Etc. The Persons designated “Co-Agents” on the cover page hereof, the Arrangers, and any syndication agent or documentation agent appointed with respect to this Agreement shall, in such capacities, shall have no powers, duties or

123

responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in their respective capacities, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any such Co-Agent, Arranger, syndication agent or documentation agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS

13.1. Waivers, Etc. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under the Loan Documents precludes any other or further exercise of any such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No notice to or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or shall constitute a waiver of the right of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Any waiver that is given shall be effective only if in writing and only for the limited purposes expressly stated in the applicable waiver. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 13.17, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan nor the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

13.2. Notices.

(a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for in the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows:

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent with confirmation of receipt (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 13.2(b) shall be effective as provided in Section 13.2(b). In the event of a discrepancy between any telephonic and any written notice, the written notice shall control. Any Lender or Issuing Bank (a) giving any notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall send simultaneously a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent and (b) giving any notice to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank shall send simultaneously a copy of such notice to the Borrower.

126

The foregoing notwithstanding, notices and communications from any Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until actually received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II, III or IV unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in their respective discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it under the Loan Documents by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.2.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, upon written request, the address and facsimile number of any Lender and any Issuing Bank and the name of the appropriate contact person at such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case as provided in such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire.

13.3. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

13.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in and made or deemed made in the Loan Documents or made in writing by a Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection herewith or in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the making of the Loans and the issuance, renewal or extension of the Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder. All such representations, warranties and covenants will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not; provided that the undertaking of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit shall not inure to the benefit of any successor or assign of any Borrower. The provisions of Sections 4.8 and 13.11 and Article XII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless

127

of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

13.5. Counterparts; Integration; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Arranger constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic submission (in .pdf form) shall be effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

13.6. Severability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be judicially declared to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or void for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby. Any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any term or provision of the Loan Documents in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term of provision in any other jurisdiction. Each covenant contained in this Agreement shall be construed (absent an express contrary provision herein) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, and compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with one or more other covenants.

13.7. Headings. The Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any term or provision of this Agreement.

13.8. Right of Set-off; Adjustments. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Person which

128

are then due and payable, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application and/or cash collateralization pursuant to Section 4.7 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Borrower as herein provided, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff; provided further that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER OR ISSUING BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL THAT SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO SET-OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. The rights of each Lender, Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 13.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have.

13.9. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof), except that (i) no Borrower or other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower or other Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.9. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof), Participants (to the extent provided in subsection (c) of this Section 13.9) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties and Related Parties of each of the foregoing) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth in subsection (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below), or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided further, that the

129

Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender; and

(C) each Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of an Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of a Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than the US Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000, and the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender after giving effect to such assignment shall not be less than the US Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000, unless both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (B) shall not apply to the assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Loans or the Commitments related thereto; and provided that assignments of Alternative Currency Loans by the Alternative Currency Lenders to a Lender which becomes an Alternative Currency Lender shall not be required to be made as a proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s Commitment;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, except that no fee shall be required in the event of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(D) the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower the forms required by Section 4.8; and

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

130

For the purposes of this Section 13.9(b), the term “Approved Fund” means, with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and that is administered or managed by (i) such Lender, (ii) an Affiliate of such Lender, or (iii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages such Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subsection (b)(iv) of this Section 13.9, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.2, 3.5, 4.8 and 13.11). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.9 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 13.9.

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

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee required pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 13.9, any forms required by Section 4.8, and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (b) of this Section 13.9, such Assignment and Assumption shall be effective and the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register; provided, that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.5(b), 2.6(c), 2.7(c) or (d), 4.8(d) or 13.11(d), such Assignment and Assumption shall not become effective unless and until such all such payments shall have been made in full, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon the request of an assignee, each Applicable Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered promissory note of such Borrower (if the assigning Lender holds such a promissory note) a new promissory note (if requested by such assignee) payable to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment and/or Loans and/or LC Exposure assumed by it pursuant to such assignment and, if the assigning

131

Lender has retained any Commitment and/or Loans and/or LC Exposure hereunder and so requests, a new promissory note payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment and/or Loans and/or LC Exposure retained by it. Such new promissory notes shall be in an aggregate face amount equal to the Commitment of the assigning Lender and shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Thereafter, any surrendered promissory note shall be marked canceled and returned to the Borrower.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than a Defaulting Lender (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrowers, each Agent, each 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 13.17 (other than the proviso in clause (iii) of Section 13.17) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (b)(vii) of this Section 13.9, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.2, 3.5, and 4.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b)of this Section 13.9. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells any participation to any Participant shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided that no liability shall arise if such Lender fails to give such notice to the Borrower.

(d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.2, 3.5 or 4.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefit of Section 4.8 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Applicable Borrower, to comply with Section 4.8(e) as though it were a Lender.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.9 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that (i) 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 and (ii) all related costs,

132

fees and expenses in connection with any such pledge or assignment or the reassignment back to such Lender, free of any interests of such assignee, shall be for the sole account of such Lender.

(f) Subject to compliance with Section 13.19, any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 13.9, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower or such Subsidiary.

(g) All transfers of any interest in any Loan shall be in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, however, the parties to this Agreement do not intend that any transfer under this Section 13.9 be construed as a “purchase” or “sale” of a “security” within the meaning of any applicable securities law of any jurisdiction.

13.10. Interest. All agreements between any Loan Party, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand being made on any Obligation or otherwise, shall the amount contracted for, reserved, taken, charged or received by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted to be contracted for, reserved, taken, charged or received under applicable law from time to time in effect or the Highest Lawful Rate, if any. If, as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment by any Borrower or any other Loan Party of any provision hereof or of any of such other Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law or result in any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender having or being deemed to have contracted for, reserved, taken, charged or received interest (or amounts deemed to be interest) in excess of the maximum lawful rate or amount of interest allowed by applicable law to be so contracted for, reserved, taken, charged or received by such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled by such Borrower or such other Loan Party shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if, from any such circumstance, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted to be contracted for, reserved, taken, charged or received under applicable Law from time to time in effect or the Highest Lawful Rate, if any, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be refunded to the payor thereof or, to the extent (i) permitted by applicable Law and (ii) such excessive interest does not exceed the unpaid principal balance of the Loans and the amounts owing on other obligations of the Loan Parties to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Document, applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan or other Obligations and not to the payment of interest. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Loan Party to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of the principal thereof (including the period of any renewal or

133

extension thereof) so that the interest on account of such indebtedness shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, if any. The terms and provisions of this Section 13.10 shall control and supersede every other provision hereof and of all other agreements between the Loan Parties, any Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender.

(a) If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Section 3.1, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if an Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that Section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Applicable Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to such Applicable Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 13.10(b) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains 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 pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date 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.

13.11. Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay within fifteen (15) days after demand (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and completed on the Closing Date, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, modification, amendment, administration (and waiver of any provision) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including in each case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent (including the cost of internal counsel) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under the Loan Documents and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Banks in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit

134

or any demand for payment thereunder. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, if any (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and the cost of internal counsel), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) in connection with the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, including all such costs and expenses incurred during a workout, restructuring or negotiations with respect to the Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and related expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including in connection with any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection therewith) (i) the Loan Documents or the Transactions; (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (iii), the failure to pay any Loan or LC Disbursement denominated in an Alternative Currency, or any interest thereon, in the Alternative Currency in which such Loan was originally made or applicable Letter of Credit issued; or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE INDEMNIFIED FOR CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS OR EXPENSES ARISING FROM THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE; and provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) 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 Indemnified Party, (y) arises by reason of a claim (A) by one or more Indemnified Parties against one or more other Indemnified Parties or (B) by an owner of Equity Interest of an Indemnified Party against one or more other Indemnified Parties, so long as such claim is not proximately caused by a breach of or Default under a Loan Document by or with respect to a Loan Party, or (z) is incurred by any Defaulting Lender to the extent directly arising from or caused by the conduct, acts, omissions or events of or applicable to such Defaulting Lender that were the cause of such Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any Loan Party’s payment obligations under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of such Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither a Defaulting Lender nor any Related Party of a Defaulting Lender will be reimbursed for, indemnified against or held harmless from, costs and expenses related to the replacement of such Defaulting Lender or other matters incidental thereto.

(c) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY

135

INDEMNIFIED PARTY, 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 PARTY HERETO OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY 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.

(d) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 13.11, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such subagent), such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or such subagent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for an Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank in connection with such capacity. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Credit Exposures and unused Commitments at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the parties hereto contained in this Section 13.11 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans, the termination of the Commitments, and the expiry of all Letters of Credit.

13.12. Payments Set Aside. To the extent any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and shall continue in full force and effect, and the Agents’, the Issuing Banks’ and the Lenders’ rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect, as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

136

13.13. Loan Agreement Controls. If there are any conflicts or inconsistencies among this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and control.

13.14. Obligations Several. The obligations of each Lender and any Issuing Bank under each Loan Document to which it is a party are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any obligation or Commitment of any other Lender under any Loan Document to which it is a party. Nothing contained in any Loan Document to which it is a party, and no action taken by any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders or Issuing Banks, or any combination of them, to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity.

13.15. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.

(a) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, IN ANY SUIT, LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATES OF TEXAS AND NEW YORK, THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF; AND WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM; AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAILING OF A COPY THEREOF (BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL POSTAGE PREPAID) TO THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.2 OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall in any way affect the right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action relating to this Agreement against any other party hereto or its property in the courts of any jurisdiction.

13.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS

137

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13.16.

13.17. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than Specified Hedge Agreements) may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument describing such amendment or modification executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Lenders as provided in this Section 13.17. With the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, enter into agreements that modify, amend or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and with any such consent, the Administrative Agent shall waive compliance with any provision of any of the Loan Documents, all as referred to in this Section 13.17; provided, that this Section 13.17 shall not apply to Specified Hedge Agreements. However, no such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without such Lender’s written consent,

(ii) extend the Maturity Date or forgive or postpone the scheduled date of payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement, without each Lender’s written consent,

(iii) amend the interest rate provisions hereof to decrease the rate of interest payable to any Lender, without each Lender’s written consent; provided that the written consent of the Majority Lenders, rather than the consent of all Lenders, shall be sufficient to waive imposition of the default rate pursuant to Section 3.1(h),

(iv) forgive or reduce the principal amount of any outstanding Loan or LC Disbursement, without each Lender’s consent,

(v) forgive or reduce the amount of any fee payable under Article V or other fee payable to any Lender (other than any fee payable solely to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers) or postpone any date fixed for any payment of any fee hereunder, without each Lender’s written consent,

(vi) extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, without each Lender’s written consent,

(vii) (y) amend, modify or waive the provisions of Section 4.10, 13.14 or this Section 13.17, or (z) increase the aggregate amount of all

138

Commitment Increases as provided in Section 4.11(a), in each case without each Lender’s written consent,

(viii) except as permitted or otherwise provided by the terms hereof, change the currency of any Loan or LC Disbursement or the currency in which any Commitment is required to be funded, without each Lender’s written consent,

(ix) amend or modify the definition of “Majority Lenders” or “Pro Rata Percentage” without each Lender’s written consent,

(x) other than as set forth herein, change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or LC Disbursements, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, without each Lender’s written consent,

(xi) except as provided in Section 13.21, release any Pledged Collateral, or release the Borrower from the Parent Guaranty Agreement or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, without each Lender’s written consent, or

(xii) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 8.3 with respect to any Borrowing or the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of any Letter of Credit, without each Lender’s written consent,

provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of an Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless in writing and signed by such Agent, such Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Bank, respectively, in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 13.17, in respect of Defaulting Lender, shall be subject to Section 4.7.

13.18. Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement provides for (among other things) the making of loans by the Lenders, in their capacity as Lenders, to the Borrowers, in their capacity as borrowers, for the issuance by the Issuing Banks for the account of the Borrowers, and for the payment of interest and repayment of principal by the Borrowers to the Lenders. The relationship between the Lenders and the Borrowers is limited to that of creditors/secured parties, on the one hand, and debtor, on the other hand. The provisions herein for compliance with financial, environmental, and other covenants, delivery of financial, environmental and other reports, and financial, environmental and other inspections, investigations, audits, examinations or tests are intended solely for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to protect their interests as lenders and issuing banks, respectively, in assuming payments of interest and repayment of principal and LC Disbursements, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be construed as permitting or obligating any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to act as financial or business advisors or consultants to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, as permitting or obligating any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to control any Borrower or any other Loan Party or to conduct or

139

operate the operations of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, as creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or as creating any joint venture, agency, or other relationship between the parties other than as explicitly and specifically stated in this Agreement. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choosing in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to obtain the advice of such counsel with respect to all matters contained herein and therein, including the provision in Section 13.16 for waiver of trial by jury. Each Loan Party further acknowledges that it is experienced with respect to financial and credit matters and has made its own independent decision to apply to the Lenders for the financial accommodations provided hereby and to make to the Borrowers the financial accommodations provided hereby, as the case may be, and to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which each is a party.

13.19. Confidentiality. Each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), provided that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.19, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in or any prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any pledgee or prospective pledgee referred to in Section 13.9(e), (C) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any of the Borrowers and its obligations (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), or (D) to Lenders and Additional Lenders as provided in Section 4.11, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.19 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties. For the purposes of this Section 13.19(a), “Information” means all information received from, or furnished at the direction of, any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates relating to any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to an Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that, in the case of information received from any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates after the date hereof, such information is clearly

140

identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.19 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(a) EACH LENDER (I) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT MATERIALS AND INFORMATION REGARDING ONE OR MORE LOAN PARTIES FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWERS AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND (II) CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, TERRITORIAL, STATE AND ALL OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.

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

13.20. Advertisement. The Administrative Agent may, upon reasonable prior written notice to, and consent of (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower, provide information relating to this Agreement to Gold Sheets, and other similar bank trade publications, with such information to consist of (i) the Borrower’s name, (ii) principal loan amounts, (iii) interest rate, (iv) term length and (v) the identity of the Lenders’ attorneys and other non-confidential information customarily found in such publications.

13.21. Release of Liens and Guarantees.

(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Borrower shall request the release under the Pledge Agreement or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement of any Restricted Subsidiary or any Pledged Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of (including through the sale or disposition of any Subsidiary owning any such Restricted Subsidiary or Pledged Collateral or resulting from the liquidation,

141

dissolution or termination of a Restricted Subsidiary) to a Person other than the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction not prohibited under the terms of this Agreement as of result of which such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Financial Officer to the effect that such sale or other disposition (and any liquidation, dissolution or termination relating thereto) is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such certificate, the Administrative Agent, if reasonably satisfied that such certificate is correct, shall, without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, execute and deliver all such instruments, releases, financing statements or other agreements, and take all such further actions, as the Borrower may reasonably request to effectuate the release of such Restricted Subsidiary or such Pledged Collateral substantially simultaneously with or, at the Borrower’s election, at any time after the completion of such sale or other disposition. Any such release shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent and shall not require the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank.

(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Borrower shall request the release under the Pledge Agreement or the Guaranty Agreement of any Restricted Subsidiary or any Pledged Collateral consisting of the Equity Interests issued by any Restricted Subsidiary due to (i) the re-designation of such Restricted Subsidiary as not a Material Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the designation of other Restricted Subsidiaries as Material Restricted Subsidiaries under the applicable provisions hereof or (ii) the fact that such Restricted Subsidiary no longer qualifies as a Material Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the definition thereof, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Financial Officer to the effect that such Restricted Subsidiary is no longer a Material Restricted Subsidiary, together with any documents or other evidence that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to verify the statements made in such certificate, and the Administrative Agent, if reasonably satisfied that such certificate is correct, shall, without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, execute and deliver all such instruments, releases, financing statements or other agreements, and take all such further actions, as the Borrower shall reasonably request to effectuate the release of such Restricted Subsidiary or such Pledged Collateral. Any such release shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent and shall not require the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of Section 13.10, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by any of them in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 13.21.

13.22. Currency Conversion and Currency Indemnity.

(a) The Applicable Borrower shall make payment relative to each Loan made to it and each Letter of Credit issued for its account in the currency (the “Agreement Currency”) in which such Loan was made or such Letter of Credit was issued. If any such payment is received in any currency (the “Other Currency”) other than the Agreement Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or judgment or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of the Applicable Borrower or otherwise howsoever), such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liability of the Applicable Borrower

142

hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of such obligation only to the extent of the amount of the Agreement Currency which the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank or Agent, as the case may be, is able to purchase with the amount of the Other Currency received by it on the Business Day next following such receipt in accordance with its normal procedures and after deducting any premium and costs of exchange.

(b) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day next preceding the day on which judgment is given and in any event the Applicable Borrower shall be obligated to pay the relevant Applicable Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or the relevant Lender, as applicable, any deficiency in accordance with Section 13.22(c). For the foregoing purposes, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the relevant Applicable Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or relevant Lender, as applicable, in accordance with its normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency, after deducting any premium and costs of exchange.

(c) The obligations of an Applicable Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the Agreement Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction 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 Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency by an Applicable Borrower, then such Applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of an Applicable Borrower contained in this Section 13.22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

(d) The agreement of indemnity provided for in this Section 13.22 shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from all other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Applicable Creditor from time to time, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

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

13.24. USA PATRIOT ACT Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 signed into law October 26, 2001) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies

143

each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name, taxpayer identification number and business address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

13.25. Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a) Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Canadian AML Legislation, the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding each Loan Party, its respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of such Loan Party, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, in order to comply with any applicable Canadian AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable Canadian AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

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

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

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

13.26. Amendment and Restatement.

(a) On the Closing Date the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety hereby. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement, any promissory notes delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(e) and the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Closing Date and (ii) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement.

144

(b) Notwithstanding the modifications effected by this Agreement of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrower contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any causes of action or other rights created in favor of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in each case, party to or its successors arising out of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in or delivered in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement to the extent provided in the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the termination thereof.

(c) All indemnification obligations of the Borrower arising under the Existing Credit Agreement (including any arising from a breach of the representations thereunder) shall survive to the extent provided in the Existing Agreement prior to the termination thereof.

ARTICLE XIV
COLLECTION ACTION MECHANISM

14.1. Implementation of CAM.

(a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated, (ii) the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender and each Issuing Bank in the Designated Obligations under each Tranche (as defined below) in which it shall participate as of such date, such Lender and such Issuing Bank shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s and such Issuing Bank’s CAM Percentage in the Designated Obligations under each of the Tranches and (iii) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, the interests in the Designated Obligations to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Spot Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 13.9(c) and each of the Loan Parties that is a party to this Agreement hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each of the Loan Parties that is a party to this Agreement, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders and Issuing Banks after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. For purposes hereof, “Tranche” means a category of Commitments and extensions of credits thereunder. For purposes of such definition, each of the following comprises a separate Tranche: (i) the Letters of Credit issued for the account of, and the Swingline Loans, Alternative Currency Loans and other Revolving Loans

145

made to the Borrower in US Dollars; (ii) the Letters of Credit issued for the account of, and the Revolving Loans made to, Eligible Borrowers in Canadian Dollars; (iii) the Letters of Credit issued for the account of, and the Revolving Loans made to, Eligible Borrowers in Sterling, and (iv) the Letters of Credit issued for the account of, and the Revolving Loans made to, Eligible Borrowers in Euro.

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by an Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Designated Obligations shall (notwithstanding any provision therein to the contrary) be distributed to the Lenders and Issuing Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages (to be redetermined as of each such date of payment or distribution to the extent required by Section 14.1(c)), but giving effect to assignments after the CAM Exchange Date, it being understood that nothing in this Article XIV shall be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of a single Class of Commitments or Loans.

(c) In the event that, on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank that is not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower, then (i) each Lender which, immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date, had a Commitment or Credit Exposure shall, in accordance with Section 2.7(c), promptly purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank a participation in such LC Disbursement in the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (determined without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) of such LC Disbursement, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving effect to such disbursement and the making of such LC Disbursement and the purchase of participations therein by the Lenders and the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that each Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Designated Obligations under each of the Tranches (and the interests in the Designated Obligations to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent of such amount in accordance with the first sentence of Section 14.1(a)) and (iii) in the event distributions shall have been made in accordance with Section 14.1(b), the Lenders shall make such payments to one another as shall be necessary in order that the amounts received by them shall be equal to the amounts they would have received had each such disbursement and LC Disbursement been outstanding on the CAM Exchange Date. Each such redetermination shall be binding on each of the Lenders and their successors and assigns and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

SECTION 6. Further Assurances.

To the extent any of the Pledged Collateral is at any time in the custody of a securities intermediary or a nominee thereof, then the applicable Pledgor shall take any actions necessary to cause such securities intermediary or such nominee to cause the Administrative Agent to have and retain Control over such Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, at the Administrative Agent’s request, each Pledgor will, with respect to Pledged Collateral held with a securities intermediary, cause such securities intermediary to enter into a control agreement with the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, giving the Administrative Agent Control.

SECTION 7. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless waived by the requisite Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement):

-5-

thereof, which might have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; and

(ii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and amounts and property paid in respect to redemptions, liquidations, dissolutions or otherwise paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement; provided that any and all

(A) dividends and interest paid or payable in Equity Interests in respect of, and received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral,

(B) dividends and other distributions hereafter paid or payable in Equity Interests in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus, and

-6-

registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise, and the Lenders shall not have any duty to request the exercise of, any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(ii) All rights of any Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) and to receive the dividends and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) or the Credit Agreement shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and interest payments.

(iii) All dividends and interest payments which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 7(b)(ii) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(c) The provisions of this Section 7 shall be subject in all respects to the provisions set forth in Section 12(d) of this Agreement.

SECTION 8. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares; No Amendment.

(a) No Pledgor shall sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral or create or permit to exist any Lien, except for Liens created hereunder, upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2 herein, each Pledgor agrees that it will (i) prevent each Issuer of the Pledged Stock pledged by such Pledgor from issuing any Equity Interest in such Issuer (other than such Pledged Stock) or other securities in addition to or in substitution for such Pledged Stock, except to such Pledgor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional Equity Interests in, or other securities of, such Issuer.

-7-

(c) No Pledgor shall amend, and each Pledgor shall prevent each Issuer of the Pledged Stock pledged by such Pledgor from amending, the articles of association (or equivalent corporate documents) of such Issuer in a manner that would adversely affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney in Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as such Pledgor’s attorney in fact, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (unless waived by the requisite Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement), with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral;

(b) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with subsection (a) above; and

(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable (or which the Majority Lenders may direct) for the collection of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 10. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower under Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11. Possession; Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent shall hold in its possession all Pledged Collateral pledged, assigned or transferred hereunder and from time to time constituting a portion of the Pledged Collateral, except any documents or instruments as from time to time may be required for recordation or for the purpose of enforcing or realizing upon any right or value thereby represented. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, appoint one or more agents (which in no case shall be any Pledgor or an affiliate of any Pledgor) to hold physical custody, for the account of the Administrative Agent, of any or all of the Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with

-8-

respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 12. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless waived by the requisite Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement):

(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the applicable UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral), or under the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, and the Administrative Agent may also, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Any cash held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, the Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent shall select. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon, if any, held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to such Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest or otherwise pay interest on any amounts held by it in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement other than as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(c) All rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties expressed herein are in addition to all other rights and remedies possessed by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Loan Documents and any other agreement or instrument relating to the Obligations.

(d) Notwithstanding the grant of security interest made by a Pledgor in favour of the Administrative Agent, its successor and assigns, for the rateable benefit of the

-9-

Secured Parties, of all of its Pledged Stock, any Pledgor that controls any interest (for the purposes of this Section 12(d), “ULC Interests”) in any unlimited liability company (for the purposes of this Section 12(d), a “ULC”) pledged hereunder shall remain registered as the sole registered and beneficial owner of such ULC Interests and will remain as registered and beneficial owner until such time as such ULC Interests are effectively transferred into the name of the Administrative Agent or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall constitute the Administrative Agent or any person as a shareholder or member of any ULC until such time as notice is given to such ULC and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register the Administrative Agent or any other person as the holder of the ULC Interests of such ULC. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Administrative Agent or any other person as a shareholder or member of a ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed therefrom and ineffective with respect to the ULC Interests of such ULC without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Stock which are not ULC Interests. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, no Pledgor shall cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds ULC Interests to cause or permit, the Administrative Agent to: (a) be registered as shareholders or members of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favour in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as a shareholder or member of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of the Administrative Agent holding a security interest in such ULC; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member of such ULC including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, such ULC.

SECTION 13. Registration Rights, Private Sales, Etc.

(a) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its and the other Secured Parties’ right to sell all or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 12, each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will cause the officers and directors of each Issuer of the Shares it has pledged, at its expense, to cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent in conformity with requirements imposed by law for the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Act”), and if the Administrative Agent shall determine that such exemption is not reasonably available for such sale, such Pledgor shall use its reasonable efforts to:

(i) execute and deliver, and cause the Issuer of the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and to use its reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to effectively realize upon the value of such Pledged Collateral, to register such Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any relevant jurisdiction outside the United States, to use its reasonable efforts to

-10-

cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished to facilitate the sale or other disposition of such Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectuses which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable thereto or, where relevant, the laws, sales and regulations of such other jurisdiction applicable thereto;

(ii) qualify the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, if applicable thereto, and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of such Pledged Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent;

(iii) cause the Issuer of the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and

(iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as reasonably may be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall, to the extent permitted by law, not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by reason of such lesser prices or favorable terms. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the other Secured Parties shall be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States, under the Securities Act or under any applicable state securities laws, even if the Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done, to the extent that such Pledgor may legally do so, all such other acts and things as reasonably may be necessary to make such sales or resales of any portion or all of the Pledged Collateral pledged by it valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws,

-11-

regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Pledgor’s expense. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach by it of any of the covenants contained in this Section 13 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 13 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby WAIVES and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to assert as a defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants that (i) such Pledgor’s failure to perform such covenants will not cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties have an adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach, or (iii) any other defense, except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred. Each Pledgor further acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties by reason of a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 13 and, consequently, agrees that, if such Pledgor shall breach any of such covenants and the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall xxx for damages for such breach, such Pledgor shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an aggregate amount equal to the value of the Pledged Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party shall demand compliance with this Section 13.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the provisions of Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor agrees to indemnify, protect and save harmless the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and any controlling persons thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, suits, claims, costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or at common law, or pursuant to any other applicable law in connection with the aforesaid registration of Pledged Collateral pledged by it, insofar as such liabilities, suits, claims, costs and expenses arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the aforesaid registration statement, or the aforesaid registration statement as amended or supplemented, or arises out of, or is based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE INDEMNIFIED FOR LIABILITIES, SUITS, CLAIMS, COSTS OR EXPENSES ARISING FROM THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE; and provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such liabilities, suits, claims, costs or expenses (x) 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 Indemnified Party, (y) arises by reason of a claim (A) by one or more Indemnified Parties against one or more other Indemnified Parties or (B) by an owner of Equity Interest of an Indemnified Party against one or more other Indemnified Parties, so

-12-

long as such claim is not proximately caused by a breach of or Default under a Loan Document by any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or (z) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the aforesaid registration statement or the aforesaid registration statement as amended or supplemented, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to such Pledgor by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party specifically for inclusion therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that such Pledgor may otherwise have to the Administrative Agent and any such other Secured Party, or any such controlling person.

SECTION 14. Interest. Each Pledgor agrees to pay interest on any expenses or other sums due to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder that are not paid when due at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate or (ii) 2% above the CB Floating Rate.

SECTION 15. Amendments, Etc. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower, the Pledgor and any other parties, if any, required to sign under the Credit Agreement, and then such consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties required to sign under the Credit Agreement, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

SECTION 16. Addresses for Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to any Pledgor, shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile, addressed to it at the address of the Borrower specified in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement; if to the Administrative Agent, shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile, addressed to it at the address of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement; or as to each party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 16. Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent with confirmation of receipt (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). In the event of a discrepancy between any telephonic, to the extent telephonic notice is permitted hereunder, and any written notice, the written notice shall control.

SECTION 17. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder and the security interest hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

-13-

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents executed in connection with the Credit Agreement;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents executed in connection with the Credit Agreement;

(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or

(d) any other circumstance (other than payment in full of the Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor, the Borrower, any Subsidiary Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary that is a party to any Loan Document executed in connection with the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 18. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement and the delivery of the Pledged Collateral to the Administrative Agent shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral as security for the Obligations and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments and the indefeasible payment in full thereafter of the Obligations; (b) be binding upon each Pledgor and its successors and assigns; and (c) inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, subject to Section 13.9 of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights under this Agreement to any other Person, and such Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted herein or otherwise to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be. Upon the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments and the indefeasible payment in full thereafter of the Obligations, each Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the release of any Pledged Collateral as provided in Section 13.21 of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor of such Pledged Collateral shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 19. Waiver of Marshalling. All rights of marshalling of assets of any Pledgor, including any such right with respect to the Pledged Collateral, are hereby waived by each Pledgor.

SECTION 20. Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or

-14-

in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

SECTION 21. Severability. Section 13.6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement in its entirety and shall apply to this Agreement as fully as if set forth herein.

SECTION 22. Captions. The captions in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall be given no substantive meaning or significance whatever in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 23. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 24. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic submission (in .pdf form) shall be effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 25. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of any Pledgor in connection herewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue until 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, after the full repayment of the Obligations and the expiration of the Letters of Credit. Any investigation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall not diminish in any respect whatsoever its right to rely on such representations and warranties.

SECTION 26. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. Sections 13.3, 13.15 and 13.16 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement in its entirety and shall apply to this Agreement as fully as if set forth herein.

SECTION 27. Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. To the fullest extent provided by applicable law, neither the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative

-15-

Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 28. Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Pledgor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Pledged Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Pledged Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

SECTION 29. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Pledgor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 30. Additional Pledgors. Each Material Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.7(b) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Pledgor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Pledge Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of January 26, 2011 (this “Guaranty”) made by The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of the Secured Parties (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Guarantor, Xxxxxx The Suit People Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, and MWUK Holding Company Limited, a corporation organized under the 2006 Companies Act of England and Wales, have entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 26, 2011 (said agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”; the capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) with the Lenders from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a Lender and as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian Agent, and X. X. Xxxxxx Europe Limited, as European Agent. The Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loans to be made and the Letters of Credit to be issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement. It is a condition precedent to the making of the Loans and issuance of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and to induce the Issuing Bank to issue the Letters of Credit, the Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Parties the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers, now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, LC Exposure, interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and, subject to Sections 13.10 and 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, agrees to pay any and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and which would be owed by the Subsidiary Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Subsidiary Borrowers. For purposes hereof, “Secured Parties” means, collectively, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the European Agent, the Lenders, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank and any other holder of Guaranteed Obligations.

(a) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law

and any other Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of the Guarantor in respect of its obligations under this Guaranty, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

Section 2. Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party (as defined below) under the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Subsidiary Borrowers or any other Loan Party or whether the Subsidiary Borrowers or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Subsidiary Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to the Subsidiary Borrowers or the Guarantor any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any Loan Party now or in the future known to any Secured Party (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. For purposes hereof, “Loan Parties” means, collectively, the Borrowers, the Pledgors and the Guarantor, and a “Loan Party” means any one of them.

Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, protest, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any collateral.

(a) The Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(b) The Guarantor hereby waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties which in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Guarantor or any other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, or any other Person or any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

(c) The Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon the Guarantor and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and the Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties

against the Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(d) The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loans to be made and Letters of Credit to be issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 4. Subrogation. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any one or more of the Subsidiary Borrowers or other Guarantors that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against any one or more of the Subsidiary Borrowers or other Guarantors or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any one or more of the Subsidiary Borrowers or other Guarantors, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments shall have expired or terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the termination in whole of the Commitments pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the expiry of all Letters of Credit (the “Termination Date”), such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all amounts payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor.

Section 5. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. Any and all payments by the Guarantor hereunder to or for the account of any Secured Party shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. Subject to Sections 13.10 and 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, if the Guarantor shall be required by Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Secured Party, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5), such Secured Party receives an amount equal to

the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) the Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law and (iv) the Guarantor shall confirm that all applicable Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, if any, imposed on it by virtue of the transactions under this Guaranty have been properly and legally paid by it to the appropriate taxation authority or other authority by sending official tax receipts or certified copies of such receipts to such Secured Party within thirty (30) days after payment of any applicable tax.

(a) In addition, the Guarantor agrees to timely pay any and all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, to the extent such Other Taxes are imposed on the Guarantor under applicable Law.

(b) The Guarantor will indemnify each Secured Party for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5) paid by such Secured Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Secured Party makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantor by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if applicable) or by any Applicable Agent on its own behalf on or behalf of a Secured Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Secured Party shall be indemnified for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section unless such Secured Party shall make written demand on the Guarantor for such reimbursement no later than six months after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant taxing authority makes written demand upon such Person for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, or (ii) the date on which such Person has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the six-month period referred to in this Section shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) Each Secured Party agrees to provide the documents described in Section 4.8(e) of the Credit Agreement to the Guarantor at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or as requested by the Guarantor. For any period with respect to which a Secured Party has failed to provide the Guarantor with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 4.8(e) of the Credit Agreement (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, Law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Secured Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 5 with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed in excess of the amount of Indemnified Taxes that would have been imposed had such Secured Party provided the appropriate form; provided, that should a Secured Party, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding Tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Guarantor agrees to take such steps as such Secured Party shall reasonably request to assist such Secured Party to recover such Taxes.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any deduction of taxes, deductions, charges or withholdings from any payments by the Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing the payment by the Guarantor to the appropriate taxation authority or other authority of the amount so deducted.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Guarantor hereunder, the agreement and obligations of the Guarantor contained in this Section 5 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty.

(f) If a Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Guarantor or with respect to which the Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5, it shall pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Section 5 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Secured Party, and without interest (other than any interest received by such Secured Party from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Guarantor, upon the request of the Secured Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Guarantor (plus any and all penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Secured Party in the event the Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties.

(a) There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty that have not been satisfied or waived.

(b) The Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty, and the Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from any other Loan Parties on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the financial condition, operations, properties and prospects of such other Loan Parties.

Section 7. Amendments, Etc. No amendment of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Guarantor and any other parties, if any, required to sign under the Credit Agreement, and then such amendment or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; no waiver of any provision of this Guaranty shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent any other parties, if any, required to sign under the Credit Agreement, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment,

waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Secured Parties, (i) except as provided in Section 13.21 of the Credit Agreement, reduce or limit the liability of the Guarantor hereunder or release the Guarantor hereunder, (ii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of amounts due hereunder or (iii) change the number of Secured Parties required to take any action hereunder.

Section 8. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed or delivered to it, if to the Guarantor, addressed to it at the address of the Borrower specified in the Credit Agreement, if to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the European Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Lender, at its address specified in the Credit Agreement, or as to any party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent with confirmation of receipt (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guaranty by facsimile transmission or electronic submission (in .pdf form) shall be effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty.

Section 9. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 10. Right of Set off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) pursuant to Article XI of the Credit Agreement, (i) the making by the Majority Lenders of the request to authorize, or (ii) the consenting by the Majority Lenders authorizing, the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of said Article XI, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off 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 Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Guarantor after any such set off and application; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application and/or cash collateralization pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Credit Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Borrower as therein provided, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff; provided further that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of each Lender and its affiliates under this Section are in addition

to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set off) that such Lender and its affiliates may have.

Section 11. Indemnification. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTOR OR REMEDIES OF THE SECURED PARTIES UNDER THIS GUARANTY, THE GUARANTOR SHALL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST, AND SHALL PAY ON DEMAND, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, EXPENSES AND CHARGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE FEES, DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES OF COUNSEL) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED OR AWARDED AGAINST SUCH SECURED PARTY AS A RESULT OF ANY FAILURE OF ANY GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS TO BE THE LEGAL, VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATIONS OF ANY LOAN PARTY ENFORCEABLE AGAINST SUCH LOAN PARTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR TERMS.

(a) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY SEVERALLY AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY AGENT, ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO, ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, AND ADVISERS, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN OR THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE REVOLVING LOANS OR THE LETTERS OF CREDIT.

(b) Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other agreements of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of the Guarantor contained in Section 1(a) (with respect to enforcement expenses), the last sentence of Section 2, Section 5 and this Section 11 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all of the other amounts payable under this Guaranty.

Section 12. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of January 26, 2011 (this “Guaranty”) made by the Persons listed on the signature pages hereto under the caption “Guarantors” and the Additional Guarantors (as defined in Section 8(b)) (such Persons so listed and the Additional Guarantors being, collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of the Secured Parties (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Borrower”), Xxxxxx The Suit People Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, and MWUK Holding Company Limited, a corporation organized under the 2006 Companies Act of England and Wales, have entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 26, 2011 (said agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”; the capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) with the Lenders from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a Lender and as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian Agent, and X.X. Xxxxxx Europe Limited, as European Agent. Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loans to be made and the Letters of Credit to be issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement. It is a condition precedent to the making of the Loans and issuance of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and to induce the Issuing Bank to issue the Letters of Credit, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Parties the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower, now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, LC Exposure, interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and, subject to Sections 13.10 and 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, agrees to pay any and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and which would be owed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower. For purposes hereof, “Secured Parties” means, collectively, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the European Agent, the Lenders, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank and any other holder of Guaranteed Obligations.

(a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party hereby confirm that it is the intention of all

such parties that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law and any other Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.

Section 2. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party (as defined below) under the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to the Borrower or any Guarantor any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any Loan Party now or in the future known to any Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Guaranty or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety.

Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, protest, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any collateral.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties which in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects

the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or any other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties or any other Person or any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

(c) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loans to be made and Letters of Credit to be issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 4. Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments shall have expired or terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the termination in whole of the Commitments pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the expiry of all Letters of Credit (the “Termination Date”), such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all amounts payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

Section 5. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. Any and all payments by any Guarantor hereunder to or for the account of any Secured Party shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. Subject to Sections 13.10 and 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, if any Guarantor shall be required by Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Secured Party, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5), such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law and (iv) such Guarantor shall confirm that all applicable Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, if any, imposed on it by virtue of the transactions under this Guaranty have been properly and legally paid by it to the appropriate taxation authority or other authority by sending official tax receipts or certified copies of such receipts to such Secured Party within thirty (30) days after payment of any applicable tax.

(a) In addition, each Guarantor agrees to timely pay any and all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, to the extent such Other Taxes are imposed on such Guarantor under applicable Law.

(b) Each Guarantor will indemnify each Secured Party for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5) paid by such Secured Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Secured Party makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to each Guarantor by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if applicable) or by any Applicable Agent on its own behalf on or behalf of a Secured Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Secured Party shall be indemnified for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section unless such Secured Party shall make written demand on any Guarantor for such reimbursement no later than six months after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant taxing authority makes written demand upon such Person for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, or (ii) the date on which such Person has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the six-month period referred to in this Section shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) Each Secured Party agrees to provide the documents described in Section 4.8(e) of the Credit Agreement to any Guarantor at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or as requested by any Guarantor. For any period with respect to which a Secured Party has failed to provide any Guarantor with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 4.8(e) of the Credit Agreement (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, Law, or

regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Secured Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 5 with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed in excess of the amount of Indemnified Taxes that would have been imposed had such Secured Party provided the appropriate form; provided, that should a Secured Party, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding Tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, each Guarantor agrees to take such steps as such Secured Party shall reasonably request to assist such Secured Party to recover such Taxes.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any deduction of taxes, deductions, charges or withholdings from any payments by any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, each Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing the payment by the Guarantor to the appropriate taxation authority or other authority of the amount so deducted.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Guarantor hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Guarantor contained in this Section 5 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty.

(f) If a Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Guarantor or with respect to which any Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5, it shall pay to such Guarantor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Guarantor under this Section 5 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Secured Party, and without interest (other than any interest received by such Secured Party from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that any Guarantor, upon the request of the Secured Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Guarantor (plus any and all penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Secured Party in the event the Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby makes, as applicable, each representation and warranty made in the Loan Documents by the Borrower with respect to such Guarantor.

(b) There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty as to each Guarantor that have not been satisfied or waived.

(c) Each Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty, and such Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from any other Loan Parties on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will

be completely familiar with, the financial condition, operations, properties and prospects of such other Loan Parties.

Section 7. Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, so long as any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid and any Lender shall have any Commitment, such Guarantor will perform or observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform or observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements that the Loan Documents state that the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor or such Subsidiaries to perform or observe.

(1) The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate a Lender that funds Loans denominated in Euro or Sterling from a lending office located in the UK for the cost of compliance with the requirements of the Bank of England or the Financial Services Authority of the UK (the “FSA”) (or, in either case, any other authority succeeding to all or any of its functions), or both of them as the case may be, or the requirements of the European Central Bank.

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

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

(4) The Associated Costs Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the European Agent as follows:

in relation to any Revolving Loan in Sterling:


AB + C(B-D) + E x 0.01		per cent per
100 − (A + C)		annum

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


E x 0.01		per cent per annum
300

Where:

	“A”		is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which such Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

	“B”		is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in Section 3.1(h)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on such Loan.

	“C”		is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which such Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

	“D”		is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the European Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

	“E”		is designed to compensate such Lender for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the European Agent as being the most recent rate of charge supplied by such Lender to the European Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

	(5)		For the purposes of this Exhibit:

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

	(b)		“Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the European Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender (or, following that date, by not less than five Business Days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement.

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

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

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

	(f)		“Unpaid Sum” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by any Borrower under the Loan Documents..

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

(7) If requested by the European Agent, such Lender shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the FSA, supply to the European Agent the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the FSA pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the FSA (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.

(8) Each Lender shall supply any information required by the European Agent for the purpose of calculating its Associated Costs Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	(a)		Its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

	(b)		Any other information that the European Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

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

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

(10) The European Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Associated Costs Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

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

(12) Any determination by the European Agent pursuant to this Exhibit in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Associated Costs Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

The European Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Applicable Borrower and the relevant Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments which are required to be made to this Exhibit in order to comply with any Change in Law or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the FSA, or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions), and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

Upon such assumption, the Total Commitment shall be automatically increased by the amount of such assumption. The Additional Lender hereby agrees to be bound by and to assume all rights and obligations of a Lender, and hereby requests the agreement of the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent that the Additional Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement as if the Additional Lender had been one of the lending institutions originally executing the Credit Agreement as a ‘Lender’; provided that nothing herein shall be construed as making the Additional Lender liable to the Borrower, the Issuing Banks or the other Lenders in respect to any acts or omissions of any party to the Credit Agreement or in respect of any other event occurring prior to the Effective Date (as defined below) of this Joinder Agreement.

2.
