(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Parent Borrower shall deliver a Swingline Loan Request to the Administrative Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan.

Each Domestic Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline 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 Domestic Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by making a wire transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Domestic Revolving Loans made by such Domestic Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Domestic Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Parent Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Parent Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender 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 Domestic Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue at the request of the Parent Borrower one or more Letters of Credit from time to time on any Business Day during the LC Availability Period. The Parent Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of any other Domestic Loan Party (provided that the Parent Borrower shall be a co-applicant with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of or in favor of such other Loan Party, and the issuance of any such Letter of Credit shall constitute a Guarantee by the Parent Borrower of Indebtedness of such Loan Party pursuant to Section 6.05(e)), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the LC Availability Period. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in

dollars. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Parent Borrower to, or entered into by the Parent Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Parent Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a Letter of Credit Request requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Parent Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $20,000,000, (ii) the total Domestic Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the total amount of the Available Commitments and (B) the Domestic Borrowing Base then in effect, (iii) the total Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the total amount of the Available Commitments then in effect and (iv) the total Revolving Exposure plus the total Fixed Asset Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the total amount of the Commitments then in effect.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. 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 Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Domestic Lender, and each Domestic Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Domestic Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Domestic Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Domestic Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Parent Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Parent Borrower for any reason. Each Domestic Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of

Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Parent Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Parent Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if the Parent Borrower does not otherwise elect by notice to the Administrative Agent to make such payment, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested in accordance with Section 2.03 (but without regard to the minimum borrowing amounts specified in Section 2.02) that such LC Disbursement be financed with an ABR Domestic Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Domestic Lenders thereof, the Domestic Lenders shall (subject to the conditions to borrowing herein) advance their respective ABR Domestic Revolving Loans (which shall be applied to reimburse such LC Disbursement) and, to the extent such ABR Domestic Revolving Loans are so advanced and applied, the Parent Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be deemed discharged as of the date due and replaced by the resulting ABR Domestic Revolving Loans. If and to the extent that the Parent Borrower’s obligation to make such payment is not fully discharged and replaced by ABR Domestic Revolving Loans as aforesaid (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any condition to borrowing or otherwise) and if the Parent Borrower otherwise fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Domestic Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Parent Borrower in respect thereof and such Domestic Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Domestic Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Parent Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Domestic Revolving Loans made by such Domestic Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Domestic Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Domestic Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Domestic Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Domestic Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Domestic Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Parent Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional

and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Parent Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that nothing in this Section 2.05 shall be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Parent Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Parent Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank, the 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 that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Parent Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Parent Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR

Domestic Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Parent Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Domestic Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank; Additional Issuing Banks. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Domestic Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Parent Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Parent Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Domestic Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Parent Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Domestic Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the 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 with respect to the Parent Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The Parent Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b), and any such cash collateral so deposited and held by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall constitute part of the Borrowing Base for purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.10(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Parent Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such

investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Parent Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Domestic Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement. If the Parent 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 Parent Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Parent Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Parent Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.10(b) and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan of any Class to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose for such Class by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to the applicable Borrower Account; provided that ABR Domestic Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be made by the Administrative Agent.

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

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Parent Borrower may elect (on behalf of itself or another Borrower) to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, all as provided in this Section. The Parent Borrower (on behalf

of itself or another 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 or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

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

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing.

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

(e) If the Parent Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Parent Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Parent Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Parent

Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if (A) the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total amount of the Available Commitments or (B) after giving pro forma effect to such reduction, the Facilities Availability Amount would be less than $10,000,000. In connection with such termination or reduction, the Borrowers shall pay the applicable Prepayment Fee; provided, however, that no Prepayment Fee shall be payable on the Commitments in the event this Agreement is terminated in connection with a refinancing of the Obligations in a transaction in which the Initial Lender provides for the Borrowers a credit facility in which the Initial Lender is the sole lead arranger and book manager and the sole administrative agent.

(c) The Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders with respect to such Commitments of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Parent Borrower under paragraph (b) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other borrowings or the completion of the sale or issuance of stock of the Parent Borrower or the sale of assets of the Parent Borrower, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Parent Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Domestic Revolving Loan of such Domestic Lender made to it on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Maturity Date. Each Domestic Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Domestic Revolving Loan of such Domestic Lender made to it on the Maturity Date. The Australian Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Australian Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Australian Revolving Loan of such Australian Lender on the Maturity Date. Each Canadian Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Revolving Loan of such Canadian Lender made to it on the Maturity Date. The German Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each German Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each German Revolving Loan of such German Lender on the Maturity Date. The Mexican Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Mexican Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Mexican Revolving Loan of such Mexican Lender on the Maturity Date.

(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 the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) 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 any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note 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 Revolving Credit Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Revolving Credit Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such Revolving Credit Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b) (i) If at any time the total Domestic Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the total amount of the Available Commitments at such time and (B) the Domestic Borrowing Base then in effect, then in any such case the Domestic Borrowers shall immediately prepay first, Protective Advances, second, Swingline Loans and third, Domestic Revolving Loans, without demand or notice of any kind, to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. If any such excess remains after all Domestic Revolving Loans, Protective Advances and Swingline Loans are prepaid, the Parent Borrower shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j) in an amount equal to such remaining excess.

(ii) If at any time the total Australian Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the Australian Sublimit at such time and (B) the Australian Borrowing Base then in effect, then in any such case the Australian Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay the Australian Revolving Loans, without demand or notice of any kind, to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

(iii) If at any time (A) the total Canadian Revolving Exposure exceeds the Canadian Sublimit at such time or (B) the Canadian Revolving Exposure with respect to any Canadian Subsidiary Borrower exceeds such Canadian Subsidiary Borrower’s Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect, then in any such case the Canadian Subsidiary Borrowers shall immediately prepay their respective Canadian Revolving Loans, without demand or notice of any kind, to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

(iv) If at any time the total German Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the German Sublimit at such time and (B) the German Borrowing Base then in effect, then in any such case the German Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay the German Revolving Loans, without demand or notice of any kind, to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

(v) If at any time the total Mexican Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the Mexican Sublimit at such time and (B) the Mexican Borrowing Base then in effect, then in any such case the Mexican Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay the Mexican Revolving Loans, without demand or notice of any kind, to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

(vi) If at any time the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the total amount of the Available Commitments at such time, then in any such case (A) the Domestic Borrowers shall immediately prepay first, Protective Advances, second, Swingline Loans and third, Domestic Revolving Loans, (B) the Australian Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay Australian Revolving Loans, (C) the Canadian Subsidiary Borrowers shall immediately prepay Canadian Revolving Loans, (D) the German Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay German Revolving Loans, and (E) the Mexican Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay Mexican Revolving Loans, in each case, without demand or notice of any kind, to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. If any such excess remains after all Revolving Loans, Protective Advances and Swingline Loans are prepaid, the Parent Borrower shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j) in an amount equal to such remaining excess.

(c) Subject to Section 2.17(b), (c) and (d) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, during a Cash Collection Period, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, (i) apply cash deposited in the Domestic Collateral Proceeds Account on each Business Day to prepay, first, Protective Advances, second, Swingline Loans and third, Domestic Revolving Loans, (ii) apply cash deposited in the Foreign Collateral Proceeds Account on each Business Day to prepay Foreign Revolving Loans and (iii) apply cash deposited in the German Collateral Proceeds Account on each Business Day to prepay German Revolving Loans; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), proceeds of Foreign Fixed Asset Collateral shall be applied first, to the payment of the Fixed Asset Obligations to the extent required by the Fixed Asset Credit Agreement and then, to the payment of the Foreign Revolving Loans and German Revolving Loans, respectively. To the extent the terms of this clause (c) do not require any payment to be allocated to any specific Class of Revolving Borrowings, the Administrative Agent will apply any prepayment of Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to this clause (c) to each Class of Revolving Borrowings on a pro rata basis, with each prepayment of Revolving Borrowings within any Class applied to prepay ABR

Borrowings before any other Borrowings, with any excess prepayment amount applied to prepay Eurodollar Borrowings in order of expiration of their respective Interest Periods (and applied on a pro rata basis in respect of Eurodollar Borrowings with Interest Periods expiring on the same date).

(d) (i) Unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party of cash proceeds of any Asset Disposition or Recovery Event, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of (A) commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrowers in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of senior Liens on such asset (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder), if any, and (D) an appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance with GAAP in connection therewith; provided, however, that, proceeds of Foreign Fixed Asset Collateral shall be applied first, to the payment of the Fixed Asset Obligations to the extent required by the Fixed Asset Credit Agreement and then, to the payment of the Loans. On each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event. Any such prepayment pursuant to this clause (i) shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.17.

(ii) If any Loan Party issues any Equity Interests or any debt securities (other than (A) in connection with the Plan of Reorganization, (B) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness and Permitted Redemption Indebtedness and (C) the Series M Preferred Stock to officers and employees of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries), no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of proceeds thereof in excess of $500,000, all Borrowers (in the case of an issuance by a Loan Party that is not a Borrower) or the issuing Borrower shall prepay the Loans (and cash collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.17.

(iii) If at any time any Loan Party or any of their respective subsidiaries receives any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such Extraordinary Receipts no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt thereof. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.17.

(e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder (other than a mandatory prepayment made pursuant to clause (c) above), the Parent Borrower shall, subject to the requirements of clause (b) above, select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section; provided that (i) the Parent Borrower may elect not to provide notice, or select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid, in connection with a mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (b) above and, in such an event, (A), such prepayment shall be applied to outstanding Borrowings in such manner as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to comply with the terms of clause (b) above and (B) to the extent that the terms of clause (b) above

and subclause (A) of this clause (i) do not require any prepayment to be allocated to any specific Class of Revolving Borrowings, the Administrative Agent shall apply such prepayment to each Class of Revolving Borrowings on a pro rata basis, and (ii) each prepayment of Revolving Borrowings within any Class shall be applied to prepay ABR Borrowings before any other Borrowings, with any excess prepayment amount applied to prepay Eurodollar Borrowings in order of expiration of their respective Interest Periods (and applied on a pro rata basis in respect of Eurodollar Borrowings with Interest Periods expiring on the same date).

(f) The Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that (A) no notice shall be required in respect of any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to clause (c) above, (B) in the event the Parent Borrower elects to provide notice of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (b) above to identify the Borrowings to be prepaid in connection therewith, such notice shall be given to the Administrative Agent on the same day that the applicable prepayment is required to be made pursuant to such clause, it being understood that any failure or delay on the part of the Parent Borrower in providing such notice to the Administrative Agent shall not affect the obligations of the Parent Borrower to make such prepayment, and (C) if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount such that the remaining amount of such Borrowing not so prepaid would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

(g) If, at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day the amount, determined reasonably and in good faith by the Parent Borrower (the “Cash Amount”), equal to (i) the aggregate amount of “cash and cash equivalents” and “marketable securities” of the Foreign Loan Parties (other than Uniplast Canada), in each case that would be required to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries prepared as of such time in accordance with GAAP (excluding any such “cash” that is “restricted” cash, including, without limitation, any such cash subject to the Liens permitted by Section 6.03(j)), minus (ii) the aggregate amount of payments in such cash and cash equivalents that will be made (and will reduce such cash and cash equivalents) on such Business Day is more than $11,000,000, then on such Business Day (A) the Australian Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay Australian Revolving Loans, (B) the Canadian Subsidiary Borrowers (other

than Uniplast Canada) shall immediately prepay Canadian Revolving Loans, (C) the German Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay German Revolving Loans, and (D) the Mexican Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately prepay Mexican Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayment and the receipt by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower of the proceeds of any Foreign Revolving Loans made or to be made on such Business Day, the Cash Amount will not exceed $11,000,000. For purposes of any calculation required by this clause (g), Section 4.02(e) and Section 6.14, the amount of any cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held by the Foreign Loan Parties (other than Uniplast Canada) at any time and denominated in a currency other than dollars shall be deemed to be the dollar equivalent thereof determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower based upon prevailing exchange rates at such time.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the office (or Affiliate) of each Lender from which such Lender would make Revolving Loans of any Class to the Borrowers hereunder (which office or Affiliate shall be specified by each Lender for each Class of such Lender’s Commitments in a notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the initial payment to such Lender under this paragraph) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a per annum rate of 0.375% on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees with respect to each Commitment shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and on the date on which such Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. 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). For purposes of determining the unused amount of the Commitment of each Lender for purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to Commitments, a Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the (i) the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose) and (ii) the Fixed Asset Revolving Exposure.

(b) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Domestic Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Domestic Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Domestic Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Domestic Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the first Business Day of each month of each year shall be payable on

such first Business Day of each month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting 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).

(c) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans made by the Lenders comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans made by the Lenders comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Each Protective Advance shall bear interest at the rate applicable to ABR Domestic Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Article VII (a), (b), (h) or (i), or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the election of the Administrative Agent (or upon the written request of the Required Lenders) confirmed by written notice to the Parent Borrower, the interest rates applicable to Loans and any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.50% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.50% plus the rate applicable to ABR Domestic Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan (other than an Australian Revolving Loan) prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period or an ABR Australian Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Australian Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any

Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder 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). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Solely for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever interest is to be computed or expressed at any rate (the “Specified Rate”), the annual rate of interest to which each such Specified Rate is equal is such Specified Rate multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the relevant year and the denominator of which is 360; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders or the Canadian Lenders, as applicable, by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Revolving Borrowing, as applicable, to, or continuation of any such Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request with respect to any Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Revolving Borrowing, as applicable, requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower(s) will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate (on an after-tax basis) such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and setting forth the underlying calculations) shall be delivered to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower(s) shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Parent Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered

pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower(s) shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section (and setting forth the underlying calculations) shall be delivered to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower(s) shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be required to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

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

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement made by such Borrower, shall deliver to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16, no such Foreign Lender shall be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver or that, in the reasonable judgment of such Foreign Lender could be disadvantageous to such Foreign Lender.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or transferee) determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or transferee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or transferee), agree to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority), to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or transferee) in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or transferee) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.16(f) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Parent Borrower and each Subsidiary Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, except (i) payments by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrowers shall be made directly to each Canadian Lender at its Canadian Lending Office, (ii) payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein, (iii) payments

pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and (iv) payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral of the Domestic Loan Parties or Uniplast Canada received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified therein), or (B) a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or (c) (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, ratably as follows:

first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Domestic Borrowers and Uniplast Canada (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations);

eleventh, to the payment of any other Domestic Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Domestic Borrower or Uniplast Canada; and

twelfth, if all of the Domestic Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (or with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, a cash deposit has been delivered to the Administrative Agent as required by this Agreement) and the Commitments have been terminated, to the Loan Parties to be paid pursuant to the Senior First Lien Note Indenture or the Senior Second Lien Note Indenture pursuant to the terms of such documents.

To the extent that the terms of this clause (b) do not require any payment to be allocated to any specific Class of Revolving Borrowings, the Administrative Agent shall apply such prepayment to each Class of Revolving Borrowings on a pro rata basis. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations in accordance with the payment priorities established hereby.

(c) Any proceeds of Collateral of the Foreign Loan Parties (other than Uniplast Canada and the German Loan Parties) received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified therein), or (B) a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or (c) (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably as follows:

first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent from the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers;

sixth, if all of the Foreign Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments have been terminated, to the Loan Parties.

To the extent that the terms of this clause (c) do not require any payment to be allocated to any specific Class of Revolving Borrowings, the Administrative Agent shall apply such prepayment to each Class of Revolving Borrowings on a pro rata basis. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and

all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations in accordance with the payment priorities established hereby.

(d) Any proceeds of Collateral of the German Loan Parties received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified therein), or (B) a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or (c) (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably as follows:

To the extent that the terms of this clause (d) do not require any payment to be allocated to any specific Class of Revolving Borrowings, the Administrative Agent shall apply such prepayment to each Class of Revolving Borrowings on a pro rata basis. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the German Obligations in accordance with the payment priorities established hereby.

(e) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04 or 2.19, as

applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(f) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to a 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 any Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Parent Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume, in its sole discretion, that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if no Borrower has in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds

Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(h) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.17(g) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then, upon the Parent Borrower’s written request, such Lender shall use commercially 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 (provided that, if such compensation or additional amounts relate to a particular Class of Loans, such designation or assignment may relate only to such Class of Loans), if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender (other than the Initial Lender) requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender (other than the Initial Lender) or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender (other than the Initial Lender) defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Parent Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) with respect to compensation or additional amounts (but not defaults) in respect of a particular Class of Loans, such assignment may be limited to such Class of Loans. 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 Parent Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19. Protective Advances. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed $15,000,000; and provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate unused Available Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that the Availability Amount is greater than $0 and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Domestic Revolving Lenders to make a Domestic Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.19(b).

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

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its

business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions entered into and to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Parent Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows (A) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants and (B) as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, certified by its chief financial officer and (ii) its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income and stockholders’ equity as of and for the fiscal month ended May 31, 2006, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP and in the case of clauses (i)(B) and (ii) above, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

(b) The Parent Borrower has heretofore made available to the Lenders its pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006, prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred on such date. Such pro forma consolidated balance sheet (i) has been prepared in good faith based on the same assumptions used to prepare the applicable pro forma financial statements, which were simultaneously made available to the

Lenders (which assumptions are believed by the Parent Borrower to be reasonable), (ii) is based on the best information available to the Parent Borrower after due inquiry, (iii) accurately reflects all material adjustments necessary to give effect to the Transactions and (iv) presents fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma financial position of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006, as if the Transactions had occurred on such date.

(c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of the Parent Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries has, as of the Effective Date, any material contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses.

(d) Since December 31, 2005, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, performance, condition (financial or otherwise) or contingent or other liabilities of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business (including its Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes and other Permitted Encumbrances.

(b) Each of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed or otherwise permitted to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to the business of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and the use thereof by the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each parcel of real property that is owned or leased (the “Real Estate”) by the Parent Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

(d) As of the Effective Date, neither the Parent Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries has received notice of, or has knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. Neither any Mortgaged Property nor any interest therein is subject to any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to purchase such Mortgaged Property or interest therein held by any Person, other than any Domestic Loan Party.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Parent Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

(b) Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Parent Borrower nor any of the 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, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. Neither the Parent Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves to the extent required by GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no proposed tax assessment against any Loan Party that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or their subsidiaries is party to any tax sharing agreement with any other Person pursuant to which it is liable for any Taxes of any Person that could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. 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.

Such insurance shall be maintained with financially sound and reputable insurers, except that a portion of such insurance program (not to exceed that which is customary in the case of companies engaged in the same or similar business or having similar properties similarly situated) may be effected through self-insurance, provided adequate reserves therefor, in accordance with GAAP, are maintained. All insurance policies or certificates (or certified copies thereof) with respect to such insurance (A) shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, be endorsed to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction for the benefit of the Lenders (including by naming the Administrative Agent as loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate); and (B) shall state that such insurance policy shall not be canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice thereof (or, in connection with any cancellation resulting from the non-payment of premiums, 10 days’ prior written notice thereof).

SECTION 5.09. Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. (a) The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made in all material respects of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants (and the Parent Borrower shall be provided the opportunity to participate in any such discussions with such independent accountants), all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. The Parent Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any representatives retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct any such inspection; provided, however that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent Borrower shall only be required to pay for one such inspection per fiscal year of the Parent Borrower.

The Parent Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any representatives retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct any such evaluation or appraisal; provided, however that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent Borrower shall only be required to pay for one such evaluation or appraisal pursuant to this clause (b) per calendar year for each category of Collateral included in each Borrowing Base. The Parent Borrower also agrees to modify or adjust the computation of the Borrowing Base (which may include maintaining additional reserves or modifying the eligibility criteria for the components of the Borrowing Base) to the extent required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders as a result of any such evaluation or appraisal or otherwise.

(c) In the event that historical accounting practices, systems or reserves relating to the components of the Borrowing Base are modified in a manner that is adverse to the Lenders in any material respect, the Parent Borrower will agree to maintain such additional reserves (for purposes of computing the Borrowing Base) in respect of the components of the Borrowing Base and make such other adjustments to its parameters for including the components of the Borrowing Base as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their commercially reasonable discretion shall require based upon such modifications.

SECTION 5.10. Compliance with Laws. The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, including Environmental Laws except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Foreign Obligations, in each case within three Business Days after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired and promptly take such actions to create and perfect Liens on such Subsidiary’s assets to secure the Obligations as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall reasonably request and (ii) if any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of such Subsidiary are owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party, the Parent Borrower will cause certificates and promissory notes evidencing such Equity Interests and Indebtedness to be pledged to secure the Obligations within three Business Days after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired; provided, however, that, subject to the following proviso, if such Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary, Equity Interests of such Subsidiary that are owned by or on behalf of a Domestic Loan Party and that are to be pledged to secure the Domestic Obligations may be limited to 65% of the outstanding voting Equity Interests of a first-tier Foreign Subsidiary and none of the Equity Interests of a second-tier or lower-tier Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, if a pledge in excess of such Equity Interests would, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Borrower, result in materially adverse tax consequences to the Loan Parties, taken as a whole; provided, further, that if the Facilities Availability Amount is less than $15,000,000 at any time, the Parent Borrower shall, and shall cause each Domestic Loan Party to, promptly pledge 100% of the outstanding voting Equity Interests of each Foreign Subsidiary (other than the Mexican Subsidiary Borrower and its subsidiaries) owned by it to the Administrative Agent to secure the Domestic Obligations.

SECTION 5.13. Further Assurances. (a) The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), that may be required under any applicable law, or which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to grant, preserve, protect or perfect the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. The Parent Borrower also agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

(b) If any material assets (including any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party after the Effective Date (other than assets constituting Collateral that become subject to the Lien of the appropriate Security Agreements upon acquisition thereof), the Parent Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Parent Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties; provided that the following property shall not be covered by this Section 5.13(b): (i) owned real estate or leasehold interests with an aggregate fair market value of less than $5,000,000, (ii) any other items of tangible personal property with, in each case, a fair market value of less than $500,000 and (iii) items explicitly excluded by exceptions in any Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement or other Security Document, except, in each case, if any Loan Party grants a Lien on such property to secure any obligation under the Senior First Lien Note Documents or the Senior Second Lien Note Documents.

(a) The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, maintain a bank reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as its principal depository bank, including for the maintenance of operating, administrative, cash management, collection activity, and other deposit accounts for the conduct of its business.

Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, use all reasonable efforts to cause each Account Debtor and every other Person identified in the preceding sentence to make all payments with respect to any Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral directly to a Controlled Deposit Account. In the event that a Loan Party directly receives any cash or other funds, notwithstanding the arrangements for payment directly into the Controlled Deposit Accounts, such remittances shall be held for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be segregated from other funds of such Loan Party, and each Borrower shall, or shall cause each other Loan Party to, cause such remittances and payments to be deposited into a Controlled Deposit Account as soon as practicable after such Loan Party’s receipt thereof. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Loan Party shall, under any circumstances whatsoever, change the general instructions given to Account Debtors and other Persons obligated to make payments with respect to any Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral regarding the deposit of payments with respect thereto in a Controlled Deposit Account.

(d) Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, use all reasonable efforts to prevent (i) any funds that are proceeds of First Priority Collateral from being deposited or otherwise commingled with proceeds of Second Priority Collateral and (ii) any funds that are proceeds of Foreign Fixed Asset Collateral from being deposited or otherwise commingled with proceeds of Foreign Working Capital Collateral.

(e) During a Cash Collection Period, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, transfer any funds held in a Controlled Deposit Account or Controlled Securities Account on each Business Day to a Domestic Collateral Proceeds Account, Foreign Collateral Proceeds Account or German Collateral Proceeds Account, as applicable. With respect to any Controlled Deposit Account or Controlled Securities Account that is not the subject of a Control Agreement, during a Cash Collection Period, at the request of the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, transfer any funds held in such Controlled Deposit Account or Controlled Securities Account on each Business Day to a Domestic Collateral Proceeds Account, Foreign Collateral Proceeds

100

Account or German Collateral Proceeds Account, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for, or bear any risk of loss of, any investment or income of any funds in any Domestic Collateral Proceeds Account, Foreign Collateral Proceeds Account or German Collateral Proceeds Account. From time to time after funds are deposited in any Domestic Collateral Proceeds Account, Foreign Collateral Proceeds Account or German Collateral Proceeds Account, the Administrative Agent may apply funds then held in such Domestic Collateral Proceeds Account, Foreign Collateral Proceeds Account or German Collateral Proceeds Account to the payment of Obligations in accordance with Section 2.10(c). No Loan Party and no Person claiming on behalf of or through any Loan Party shall have any right to demand payment of any funds held in any Domestic Collateral Proceeds Account, Foreign Collateral Proceeds Account or German Collateral Proceeds Account at any time prior to the termination of all Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations.

SECTION 5.19. Post-Closing Conditions. The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, deliver each of the documents, instruments and agreements, and take each of the actions, set forth on Schedule 5.19 within the time periods set forth on such Schedule.

SECTION 5.20. Canadian Pension Plans. No Loan Party will (a) terminate any Canadian Pension Plan in a manner, or take any other action with respect to any Canadian Pension Plan, which could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of a Loan Party, (b) fail to make full payment when due of all amounts which, under the provisions of any Canadian Pension Plan, agreement relating thereto or applicable law, such Loan Party is required to pay as contributions thereto, except where the failure to make such payments could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) permit to exist any accumulated funding deficiency, whether or not waived, with respect to any Canadian Pension Plan in an amount which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, (d) contribute to or assume an obligation to contribute to any “multi-employer pension plan” as such term is defined in the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario), (e) acquire an interest in any Person if such Person sponsors, maintains or contributes to, or at any time in the six-year period preceding such acquisition has sponsored, maintained, or contributed to any “multi-employer pension plan” as such term is defined in the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario), or (f) permit the actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities (computed on an accumulated benefit obligation basis in accordance with GAAP) under all Canadian Pension Plans in the aggregate to exceed the current value of the assets of all Canadian Pension Plans in the aggregate that are allocable to such benefit liabilities, in each case only to the extent such liabilities and assets relate to benefits to be paid to employees of the Loan Parties, by an amount that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

In addition to the remedies set forth above, in every such event, the Administrative Agent may exercise any remedies under the other Loan Documents or at law or equity.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.01. Authorization, Action, Etc. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent

116

shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Parent Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent selected from among the Lenders or that shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

117

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

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Arranger shall not, in its capacity as such, have any responsibilities under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.02. Declaration of Trust (Treuhand) and Appointment as Administrator. The Administrative Agent shall: (a) hold any Lien or security interest which is governed by German law and is assigned (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) or otherwise transferred to it under a non-accessory security right (nicht akzessorische Sicherheit) pursuant to any of the German Security Agreements or otherwise for the purpose of securing any of the Obligations secured thereunder as trustee (Treuhänder) for the benefit of the Secured Parties; (b) hold any abstract acknowledgement of indebtedness (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis) which is governed by German law and under which certain Loan Parties have acknowledged to owe to the Administrative Agent certain Obligations as trustee (Treuhänder) for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and (c) administer any Lien or security interest (if any) which is pledged (Verpfändung) or otherwise transferred under an accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) to it and/or the Secured Parties pursuant to any of the German Security Agreements or otherwise for the purpose of securing any of the Obligations secured thereunder and each Secured Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any other accessory right made to such Secured Party, and shall act in relation to the Lien and security interests in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Secured Party hereby ratifies and approves all acts done by the Administrative Agent on such Secured Party’s behalf.

It is hereby agreed that, in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognize or give effect to the trust (Treuhand) expressed to be created by this Section 8.02, the relationship of the Secured Party to the Administrative Agent in relation to any Lien or security interest governed by German law shall be construed as one of principal and agent but, to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this Section 8.02 shall have full force and effect between the parties hereto.

Each Secured Party (with the exception of the Administrative Agent) hereby releases the Administrative Agent acting on its behalf pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) (restriction of self-dealing).

SECTION 8.03. Quebec Security. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent, or any other Person acting as an agent or mandatory for the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, each Loan Party

118

hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of holding any security granted by any Loan Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of such Loan Party under any bond, the Administrative Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Québec) for all present and future Lenders and in particular for all present and future holders of any such bond. Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Administrative Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold security granted by any Loan Party in the Province of Quebec to secure the obligations of such Loan Party under any bond. Each assignee of a Lender shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Administrative Agent as the holders of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) by execution of an Assignment and Assumption. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), the Administrative Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that such bond constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance or a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall have the effect of:

(i) increasing the Commitment of any Lender without the consent of each Lender (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.15);

120

(ii) reducing the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reducing the rate of interest thereon, or reducing any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby and the Administrative Agent;

(iii) postponing the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reducing the amount of, waiving or excusing any such payment, or postponing the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby and the Administrative Agent;

(iv) changing Section 2.17(b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) in a manner that would alter the way that payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(v) changing any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class, including as contemplated by the term “Required Canadian Lenders”) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);

(vi) releasing any Loan Party from its Guarantee under any Guarantee Agreement (except with respect to the dissolution, consolidation or merger of such Loan Party in accordance with the terms of Section 6.04 or as expressly provided in the applicable Guarantee Agreement), or limiting its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, however, that if the Required Lenders have approved the sale of the Equity Interests of such Loan Party, the consent of the Required Lenders (and not each Lender) shall be required for such release;

(vii) releasing all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided therein or in the Intercreditor Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) changing any provision of any Loan Document to permit the Parent Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries to enter into any accounts receivable or inventory securitization transaction or other similar financing arrangement, including any sale of, or any grant of a security interest in, accounts receivable or inventory in connection with any asset securitization or other similar financing arrangement, without the written consent of Lenders having Commitments representing in the aggregate more than 66-2/3% of the total amount of the Commitments at such time;

(ix) changing any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class; or

121

(x) increasing the Australian Sublimit, Canadian Sublimit, German Sublimit or Mexican Sublimit, without the written consent of each Australian Lender, Canadian Lender, German Lender or Mexican Lender, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent; and

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Administrative Agent may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.16, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.15 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver; Joint and Several Obligations. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, in connection with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

122

(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Parent Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee (or of any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates) or to the extent such damages constitute special, indirect or consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or the Swingline Lender, 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 the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and each of them hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum liability of the German Subsidiary Borrower with respect to the expense reimbursement and indemnification

123

obligations under this Section 9.03 shall not exceed the amount of free reserves of the German Subsidiary Borrower.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower 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 without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(A) the Parent Borrower; provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, 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 $1,000,000 unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents;

(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 be construed to prohibit the

124

assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each such assignment relating to the assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax documentation.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(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, and the Parent Borrower, each Subsidiary Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parent Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender selling a participation to a Participant shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, keep a register (substantially similar in form to the Register) of each such Participant, specifying such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such Participation. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Lender’s register as the Participant, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and all applicable tax documentation executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already

125

be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(a) as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall be entitled to receive greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant; provided, however, that if (A) the aggregate amount of participations sold by the Initial Lender under this Agreement and the Fixed Asset Credit Agreement exceeds $50,000,000 (the “Participation Amount”) or (B) the aggregate payments to a Participant under Section 2.14 or 2.16 of this Agreement and Section 2.14 or 2.16 of the Fixed Asset Credit Agreement in excess of the payments the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant is greater than $500,000 per year (the “Additional Payment Amount”), a Participant with respect to any amount in excess of the Participation Amount or any payment in excess of the Additional Payment Amount shall not be entitled to receive greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the Initial Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the Parent Borrower consents to such participation in excess of the Participation Amount or payment in excess of the Additional Payment Amount (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

126

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

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the applicable Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, or the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the 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, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16,

127

10.03 and 10.13 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

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

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

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all

128

claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

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

(e) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation System, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (telephone: (000) 000-0000) (the “Process Agent”), in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

129

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

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ investment advisors, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (the “Representatives”) and any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements entered into in connection with a Lender’s outstanding Loans from time to time or to such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (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 and, in the case of any such contractual counterparty or its professional advisor, such persons shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.12), (b) to the extent requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority or any self-regulatory organization (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or other similar organization), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena, order or similar legal process; provided that, to the extent reasonably practicable and not prohibited by applicable laws or regulations or by any judicial or administrative order, such Person will provide the Parent Borrower with prior notice of such disclosure, (d) any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (e) to any other party to this Agreement, (f) 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, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (h) with the consent of the Parent Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their Representatives that is not known to such Person to be subject to any obligation of confidentiality to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their Representatives relating to the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiaries or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is 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

130

the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (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, each of the Borrowers agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.15. Parallel Obligations. For the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of security (the “Parallel Debt Security”) under the Security Documents subject to the laws of (or to the extent affecting assets situated in) Germany and such other jurisdictions as the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (each acting reasonably) agree, notwithstanding any contrary provision in any Loan Document:

(a) Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness.

(i) Each Borrower undertakes (such undertakings, the “Parallel Obligations”) to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to all present and future amounts (the “Original Obligations”) owing by it to a Secured Party under any Loan Document;

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the Parallel Obligations;

131

(iii) the Parallel Obligations shall not limit or affect the existence of the Original Obligations for which the Secured Parties shall have an independent right to demand payment;

(iv) notwithstanding paragraphs (ii) and (iii), payment by a Borrower of its Parallel Obligations shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Original Obligations owing to the relevant Secured Parties and payment by a Borrower of its Original Obligations to the relevant Secured Parties shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the Parallel Obligations owing by it to the Administrative Agent;

(v) the Parallel Obligations are owed to the Administrative Agent in its own name and the Parallel Debt Security shall secure the Parallel Obligations so owing;

(vi) without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s right to protect, preserve or enforce its rights under any Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent undertakes to each Secured Party not to exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations without the consent of the relevant Secured Party; and

(vii) the Administrative Agent undertakes to distribute to the Secured Parties an amount equal to any amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent which it has applied in reduction of the Parallel Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if the terms of this Agreement as if the Original Obligations had not been discharged.

(b) Joint and Several Creditor.

(i) Each Borrower and each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be the joint creditor (together with the relevant Secured Parties) of each and every obligation of any Borrower towards each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) under the Loan Documents. Accordingly the Administrative Agent will have its own independent right to demand performance by the relevant Borrower of those obligations. However, any discharge of any such obligation to either the Administrative Agent or a Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall, to that extent, discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other; and

(ii) without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights against any Borrower (whether under this Section 9.15 or under any other provision of the Loan Documents), the Administrative Agent agrees with each other Secured Party (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its rights as a joint creditor with a Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) except with the consent of the relevant Secured Party. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under, or to enforce any Security Agreement as contemplated by, this Agreement and/or the relevant Security Agreement (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing).
