The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by the Borrower hereunder shall be not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount and, if greater (other than with respect to Swing Line Loans), shall be in integral multiples of (i) in the case of a Borrowing in Dollars, $1,000,000, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing in Sterling, £750,000, or (iii) in the case of a Borrowing in Euros, €1,000,000, above such minimum (or, if less, the then Total Available Revolving Commitment). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than six Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans for any Facility.

2.4 Interest Rate Options

The Term Loans and the Revolving Loans shall, at the option of the Borrower except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be (i) Base Rate Loans, (ii) Eurocurrency Loans, or (iii) part Base Rate Loans and part Eurocurrency Loans; provided, that non-Dollar denominated Revolving Loans may only be made as Eurocurrency Loans. Dollar denominated Swing Line Loans shall be made only as Base Rate Loans. Non-Dollar denominated Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the applicable Quoted Rate and shall have such interest periods and interest payment dates as are determined by the Swing Line Lender and the Borrower at the time of Borrowing thereof. As to any Eurocurrency Loan, any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment by causing a foreign branch or affiliate to make or continue such Loan, provided that in such event that Lender’s Loan shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be considered to have been made by that Lender and the obligation of the Borrower to repay that Lender’s Loan shall nevertheless be to that Lender and shall be deemed held by that Lender, for the account of such branch or affiliate.

2.5 Notice of Borrowing

Whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of any Loan hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent at its office located at the Notice Office (or such other address as the Administrative Agent may hereafter designate in writing to the parties hereto) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), given not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) of each Base Rate Loan, and at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), given not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), of each Dollar denominated Eurocurrency Loan to be made hereunder and at least four Business Days prior written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) given not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), of each Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency; provided, however, that a Notice of Borrowing with respect to the Initial Borrowing may, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be delivered later than the time specified above. Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan under Section 2.1(c), it shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of Borrowing (at least two

Business Days prior to the date of Borrowing for Swing Line Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing). Each such notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”), which shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.5 hereto, shall be irrevocable, shall be deemed a representation by the Borrower that all conditions precedent to such Borrowing have been satisfied and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or both, (iv) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, (v) with respect to Revolving Loans, the amount of the Overdraft Reserve at such time and (vi) the account details of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall as promptly as practicable give each Lender written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing. Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender (in the case of Swing Line Loans) may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. The Administrative Agent’s records shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower with respect to evidence of the terms of such telephonic Notice of Borrowing.

2.6 Conversion or Continuation

With respect to Dollar denominated Loans (other than Swing Line Loans), the Borrower may elect (i) on any Business Day at any time after the earlier of (x) the third Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) the date the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof may be converted to Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) at the end of any Interest Period with respect thereto, to convert Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans that will, upon such conversion, constitute a single Borrowing that must satisfy Section 2.3. With respect to Euro or Sterling denominated Loans, the Borrower may elect, in the same manner as described for conversions, to continue such Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period. Each conversion or continuation of Loans of each applicable Facility shall be allocated among the Loans of the Lenders for such Facility in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.6 hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans or four Business Days’ in the case of continuation of a non-Dollar denominated Revolving Loan) prior written notice thereof to the Notice Office given not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) specifying (i) the amount and type of conversion or continuation, (ii) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period therefor, and (iii) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from Eurocurrency Loans, shall also be the last day of the Interest Period therefor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Dollar denominated Eurocurrency Loans upon the expiration of any Interest Period therefor, shall be permitted at any time at which an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default shall have

occurred and be continuing. The Borrower shall not be entitled to specify an Interest Period in excess of one month for any non-Dollar denominated Revolving Loan if an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.6, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the Interest Period therefor, such Loans will be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans or, in the case of non-Dollar denominated Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

2.7 Disbursement of Funds

No later than 1:00 p.m. (local time at the place of funding) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of Loans, to fund the Borrowing requested to be made on such date in Dollars, Euro or Sterling, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office (for the account of such non-U.S. office of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may direct in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at its Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders not later than 2:00 p.m. (local time in the place of payment). Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender at least one Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and, if so notified, the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the rate for Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, applicable to the Type of Loan to which such corresponding amount related, for the period in question; provided, however, that any interest paid to the Administrative Agent in respect of such corresponding amount shall be credited against interest payable by the Borrower to such Lender under Section 3.1 in respect of such corresponding amount. Any amount due hereunder to the Administrative Agent from any Lender which is not paid when due shall bear interest payable by such Lender, from the date due until the date paid, at the Federal Funds Rate for amounts in Dollars (and at the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for amounts in Euros or Sterling or any other Alternative Currency) for the first three days after the date such amount is due and thereafter at the Federal Funds Rate (or such cost of funds rate) plus 1%, together with the Administrative Agent’s standard interbank processing fee. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments

made of principal and interest on its Loans, amounts due with respect to its Letters of Credit (or its participations therein) and any other amounts due to it hereunder first to the Administrative Agent to fund any outstanding Loans made available on behalf of such Lender by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7 until such Loans have been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise) and then to fund Loans of all Lenders other than such Lender until each Lender has outstanding Loans equal to its Pro Rata Share of all Loans (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). Such Lender shall not have recourse against the Borrower with respect to any amounts paid to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the preceding sentence; provided, that such Lender shall have full recourse against the Borrower to the extent of the amount of such Loans such Lender has been deemed to have made pursuant to the preceding sentence. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against the Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.8 Pro Rata Borrowings

All Borrowings in respect of Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) under this Agreement shall be advanced by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments to the applicable Facilities. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender or Impaired Lender to make a Loan required under this Agreement and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the occurrence of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or an Impaired Lender.

2.9 Amount and Terms of Letters of Credit

(a) Letter of Credit Commitments, Terms of Letters of Credit.

(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date until a date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, each Facing Agent (other than DB) agrees, severally not jointly, to issue each in its own name, but for the ratable account of all Revolving Lenders (including the applicable Facing Agent), one or more Letters of Credit, denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, for the account of the Borrower in a Stated Amount which together with the aggregate Stated Amount of all other Letters of Credit (other than Fifth Amendment Existing Letters of Credit) then outstanding does not exceed the Facing Agent Sublimit; provided, however, that a Facing Agent shall not issue or extend the expiration of any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance or extension, (A) the sum of the Assigned Dollar Value of the Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Loans and the LC Obligations would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment minus the Overdraft Reserve and (B) the sum of the Assigned Dollar Value of the LC Obligations would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment on the date of such issuance or extension. Each Revolving Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to participate in each such Letter of Credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share and to make available to the applicable Facing Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payment made to the beneficiary of such Letter of

Credit to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be required to participate in any Letter of Credit to the extent that such participation therein would exceed such Revolving Lender’s then applicable Available Revolving Commitment. No Lender’s obligation to participate in any Letter of Credit or to make available to the applicable Facing Agent such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Payment made by the applicable Facing Agent shall be affected by any other Revolving Lender’s failure to participate in the same or any other Letter of Credit or by any other Revolving Lender’s failure to make available to the applicable Facing Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Payment.

(ii) Each Letter of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder shall be issued on a sight basis, and (other than Bank Guarantees) shall have an expiration date of one (1) year or less from the issuance date thereof; provided, however, that each Standby Letter of Credit may provide by its terms that it will be automatically extended for additional successive periods of up to one (1) year unless the applicable Facing Agent shall have given notice to the applicable beneficiary (with a copy to the Borrower) of the election by the applicable Facing Agent (such election to be in the sole and absolute discretion of the applicable Facing Agent) not to extend such Letter of Credit, such notice to be given prior to the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit; provided, further, that no Standby Letter of Credit or extension thereof shall be stated to expire later than the date five (5) days prior to the Revolver Termination Date and no Commercial Letter of Credit or extension thereof shall be stated to expire later than the day thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Termination Date.

(b) Procedure for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Facing Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Facing Agent) specifying the day of issuance thereof (which day shall be a Business Day), such notice to be given prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified for the giving of such notice. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.9(b) hereto and shall specify (A) the proposed issuance date and expiration date, (B) whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued as a letter of credit or bank guarantee, (C) the Borrower as the account party and, if desired by the Borrower, one or more Subsidiaries as additional account parties, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary, (E) the Stated Amount of such proposed Letter of Credit, (F) the currency in which such proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued and (G) such other information as the applicable Facing Agent may reasonably request. In addition, each Notice of Issuance shall contain a description of the terms and conditions to be included in such proposed Letter of Credit (all of which terms and conditions shall be acceptable in form to the applicable Facing Agent). 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 Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, a Facing Agent (other than DB) relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Promptly after issuance or extension of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the applicable Facing Agent (to the extent such Facing Agent is not the

same entity as, or an Affiliate of, the Administrative Agent) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such issuance or extension and such notice of a Standby Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by a copy of the Standby Letter of Credit. Unless otherwise specified, all Standby Letters of Credit and Commercial Letters of Credit will be governed by the “Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits” and all Bank Guarantees will be governed by the “Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees”, in each case as issued by the International Chamber of Commerce and as in effect on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. On the Business Day specified by the Borrower and upon confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the applicable conditions set forth in Article V have been fulfilled or waived, the applicable Facing Agent will issue the requested Letter of Credit to the applicable beneficiary. From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolver Termination Date, the applicable Facing Agent will, upon the written request of the Borrower received by the Facing Agent (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days (or such shorter time as the Facing Agent and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Facing Agent: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Facing Agent may require. The Facing Agent shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Facing Agent would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement, or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit. The Facing Agent will provide a copy of any amendment to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the receipt by it of any amendment to a Letter of Credit. In the event that the Facing Agent is other than the Administrative Agent, such Facing Agent will send by facsimile transmission to the Administrative Agent, promptly on the first Business Day of each week its daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under the Commercial Letters of Credit issued by such Facing Agent for the previous week. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender upon such calendar month end, and upon each commercial letter of credit fee payment, a report setting forth the daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn for all Facing Agents during such period.

(c) Draws upon Letters of Credit; Reimbursement Obligation. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Facing Agent shall give telephonic notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) confirming such drawing and (y) of the date on or before which such Facing Agent intends to honor such drawing, and the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Facing Agent on the day on which such drawing is honored in an amount in same day funds equal to the amount of such drawing (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”); provided, however, that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Facing Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day on which the applicable Facing Agent intends to honor such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the applicable Facing Agent for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent

requesting each Revolving Lender to make Dollar denominated Base Rate Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing and the Administrative Agent shall, if such Notice of Borrowing is deemed given, promptly notify the Lenders thereof and (ii) unless any of the events described in Section 10.1(e) or 10.1(f) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.9(d) shall apply), each such Lender shall, on the date such drawing is honored, make Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans in the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Facing Agent for the amount of such drawing; and provided, further, that, if for any reason, proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the applicable Facing Agent on such date in an amount equal to the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Facing Agent, on the Business Day immediately following the date such drawing is honored, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing over the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 3.1(a).

(d) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. In the event that (1) the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the applicable Facing Agent as provided in Section 2.9(c) in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by the applicable Facing Agent under a Letter of Credit issued by it in accordance with the terms hereof, or (2) any Bank Guarantee shall remain outstanding on the Revolver Termination Date, the applicable Facing Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender, of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing or the amount of such Bank Guarantee, as applicable, and of such Lender’s respective participation therein. Each such Revolving Lender shall purchase a participation interest in such LC Obligation and shall make available to the applicable Facing Agent the Dollar Equivalent of an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such drawing in same day funds, at the office of the applicable Facing Agent specified in such notice, in each case not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date such Lender is notified by the Administrative Agent. In the event that any such Lender fails to make available to the applicable Facing Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.9(d), the applicable Facing Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for two Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.9(d) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from the applicable Facing Agent any amounts made available by such Lender to the applicable Facing Agent pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by the applicable Facing Agent in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Facing Agent. The applicable Facing Agent shall distribute to each other Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.9(d) with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received by the applicable Facing Agent from the Borrower in reimbursement of drawings honored by the applicable Facing Agent under such Letter of Credit when such payments are received. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.9(c) or to purchase participations pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute

and unconditional and without recourse to the applicable Facing Agent and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Facing Agent, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under Section 2.9(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.

(e) Fees for Letters of Credit.

(i) Facing Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the following amount to the applicable Facing Agent with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it for the account of the Borrower:

(A) with respect to drawings made under any Letter of Credit, interest, payable on demand, on the amount paid by such Facing Agent in respect of each such drawing from the date a drawing is honored up to (but not including) the date such amount is reimbursed by the Borrower (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.9(c)) at a rate which is at all times equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate;

(B) with respect to the issuance or amendment of each Letter of Credit and each payment made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with the applicable Facing Agent’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be; and

(C) a facing fee as agreed from time to time by the Borrower and the applicable Facing Agent for the applicable Letter of Credit or, with respect to DB as Facing Agent with respect to that portion of the outstanding LC Obligations attributable to the Fifth Amendment Existing Letters of Credit, a facing fee as may be separately agreed in writing between the Borrower and DB, which fee, unless otherwise agreed, shall be payable with respect to the Assigned Dollar Value of the maximum Stated Amount under such outstanding Letters of Credit payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter, on demand together with customary issuance and payment charges payable pursuant to clause (B) above; provided, however, if calculation of the facing fee in the manner set forth above would result in a facing fee of less than $500 per year per Letter of Credit issued by any Facing Agent, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such additional amount to such Facing Agent so as to provide for a minimum facing fee of $500 per year per Letter of Credit.

(ii) Participating Lender Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each participating Revolving Lender in respect of all Letters of Credit outstanding such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share under the Revolving Facility of a commission equal to the then Applicable

Eurocurrency Margin for Revolving Loans per annum with respect to the maximum Stated Amount under such outstanding Letters of Credit (the “LC Commission”), payable in Dollars in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter, on demand. The LC Commission shall be computed from the first day of issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

Promptly upon receipt by a Facing Agent or the Administrative Agent of any amount described in clause (i)(A) or (ii) of this Section 2.9(e), the applicable Facing Agent or the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of such amount as long as, in the case of amounts described in clause (i)(A), such Lender has reimbursed the applicable Facing Agent in accordance with Section 2.9(c). Amounts payable under clause (i)(B) and (C) of this Section 2.9(e) shall be paid directly to the applicable Facing Agent.

(f) LC Obligations Unconditional. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse a Facing Agent (or any Lender that has purchased a participation from or made a Loan to enable the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Facing Agent) for drawings made under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the obligations of each Lender to purchase participations pursuant to Section 2.9(d) as a result of such a drawing shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Affiliates may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for which any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the applicable Facing Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit);

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

(iv) payment by the applicable Facing Agent under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or

(vi) the fact that an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor the Lenders (other than the applicable Facing Agent in its capacity as such) shall be liable for any obligation resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Facing Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(g) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the applicable Facing Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) (other than for Taxes, which shall be covered by Section 4.7) which the applicable Facing Agent and the Lenders may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Facing Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of the applicable Facing Agent to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Government Acts”) other than arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, of the applicable Facing Agent. As between the Borrower on the one hand, and the applicable Facing Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent or by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the applicable Facing Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing under such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Facing Agent, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall effect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the applicable Facing Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the applicable Facing Agent under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the applicable Facing Agent under any resulting liability to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the applicable Facing Agent in respect of any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges or expenses (including Attorney

Costs) incurred by the applicable Facing Agent to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Facing Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The right of indemnification in the first paragraph of this Section 2.9(g) shall not prejudice any rights that the Borrower may otherwise have against the applicable Facing Agent with respect to a Letter of Credit issued hereunder.

(h) Stated Amount. The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or such lesser amount as the applicable Facing Agent has agreed to.

(i) Increased Costs. Subject to Section 4.7, if any time after the Closing Date, any Facing Agent or any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender with any request or directive issued after the Closing Date by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law) (provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in applicable law after the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 2.9(i) regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the applicable Facing Agent or participated in by any Revolving Lender, or (ii) impose on the applicable Facing Agent or any Revolving Lender any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to the provisions of this Agreement relating to Letters of Credit or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the applicable Facing Agent or any Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the applicable Facing Agent or any Lender hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon demand to the Borrower by the applicable Facing Agent or any Lender (a copy of which demand shall be sent by the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Facing Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. In determining such additional amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence, the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will, to the extent the increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable or reductions in rates of return relate to the Facing Agent’s or such Lender’s letters of credit in general and are not specifically attributable to the Letters of Credit hereunder, use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which cover all letters of credit similar to the Letters of Credit issued by or participated in by the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender whether or not the documentation for such other Letters of Credit permit the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender to receive amounts of the type described in this Section 2.9(i). The applicable Facing Agent or any Lender, upon determining

that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(i), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender, although failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(i); provided, however, if the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender, as applicable, has intentionally withheld or delayed such notice, the applicable Facing Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(i) for periods occurring prior to the 180th day before the giving of such notice. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.9(i) shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

(j) Outstanding Letters of Credit. The letters of credit set forth under the caption “Letters of Credit Outstanding on the Closing Date” as set forth on Schedule 2.9(j) attached to the First Amendment, were issued prior to the Closing Date pursuant to one of the Prior Credit Agreements and will remain outstanding as of the Closing Date and the letters of credit and bank guarantees set forth under the caption “Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees outstanding on the First Amendment Effective Date” were issued pursuant to the credit facility of Huntsman Advanced Materials Holdings LLC or otherwise issued by Facing Agent prior to the First Amendment Effective Date and will remain outstanding as of the First Amendment Effective Date (collectively, the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”). The Borrower, each Facing Agent and each of the Lenders hereby agree with respect to the Outstanding Letters of Credit that each such Outstanding Letters of Credit, for all purposes under this Agreement, shall, from and after the Closing Date, be deemed to be Letters of Credit governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Revolving Lender further agrees to participate in each such Outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Stated Amount of such Outstanding Letters of Credit.

(k) Fifth Amendment Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrower agrees that if DB receives any proceeds in respect of any Letter of Credit providing credit support for a Fifth Amendment Existing Letter of Credit, the Borrower will cause a reduction to occur in the amount of then outstanding Fifth Amendment Existing Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such proceeds.

2.10 Revolving Commitment Increase

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right from time to time, to cause an increase in the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more additional Eligible Assignees that are not already Revolving Lenders hereunder and that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender (each, a “New Revolving Lender”) or by allowing one or more existing Revolving Lenders to increase their respective Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) both before and immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall

have occurred and be continuing as of the effective date of such Revolving Commitment Increase (such date, the “Revolving Commitment Increase Date”), (ii) no such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an amount less than $10,000,000 (unless the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect is greater than $390,000,000), (iii) after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $600,000,000, (iv) no Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased without such Revolving Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in such Revolving Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and (v) the only Revolving Commitment Increase that may occur on or after the Tenth Amendment Effective Date is a single Revolving Commitment Increase in an aggregate amount not exceeding $200,000,000 on (and subject to the occurrence of) the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date. The foregoing clause (i) and the following Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(e) shall not be applicable to the 2014 Revolving Commitment Increase and the only conditions to the 2014 Revolving Commitment Increase shall be those conditions set forth in Section 4 of the Eleventh Amendment.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice (a “Notice of Revolving Commitment Increase”) of its intention to increase the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.10. Each such Notice of Revolving Commitment Increase shall specify (i) the proposed Revolving Commitment Increase Date, which date shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Notice of Revolving Commitment Increase, (ii) the amount of the requested Revolving Commitment Increase, (iii) as applicable, the identity of each New Revolving Lender and Revolving Lender that has agreed in writing to increase its Revolving Commitment hereunder, and (iv) the amount of the respective Revolving Commitments of the then existing Revolving Lenders and the New Revolving Lenders from and after the Revolving Commitment Increase Date.

(c) On any Revolving Commitment Increase Date, the Revolving Lenders shall purchase and assume (without recourse or warranty) from the Revolving Lenders (i) Revolving Loans, to the extent that there are any Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (ii) undivided participation interests in any outstanding LC Obligations and any outstanding Swing Line Loans, in each case, to the extent necessary to ensure that after giving effect to the Revolving Commitment Increase, each Revolving Lender has outstanding Revolving Loans and participation interests in outstanding LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Revolving Lender shall make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to the preceding sentence via wire transfer to the Administrative Agent on the Revolving Commitment Increase Date. Each existing Revolving Lender (i) shall be automatically deemed to have assigned any outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Commitment Increase Date and (ii) agrees to take any further steps reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case to the extent deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the provisions of the preceding sentences. If, on such Revolving Commitment Increase Date, any Revolving Loans have been funded, then the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs that are payable pursuant to Section 3.5 in connection with the reallocation of such outstanding Revolving Loans to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.10(c).

(d) Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall become effective on its Revolving Commitment Increase Date and upon such effectiveness: (i) the Administrative Agent shall record in the register each then New Revolving Lender’s information as provided in the applicable Notice of Commitment Increase and pursuant to an administrative questionnaire that shall be executed and delivered by each New Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent on or before such Revolving Commitment Increase Date, (ii) Schedule 1.1(a) hereof shall be amended and restated to set forth all Revolving Lenders (including any New Revolving Lenders) that will be Revolving Lenders hereunder after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase (which amended and restated Schedule 1.1(a) shall be set forth in Annex I to the applicable Notice of Revolving Commitment Increase) and the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender (including each New Revolving Lender) a copy of such amended and restated Schedule 1.1(a), and (iii) each New Revolving Lender identified on the Notice of Revolving Commitment Increase for such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be a “Lender” and a “Revolving Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement.

(e) As a condition precedent to any Revolving Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Revolving Commitment Increase Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such Revolving Commitment Increase and certifying that, before and after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI made by it are true and correct on and as of the Revolving Commitment Increase Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date and (ii) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or will exist as of the Revolving Commitment Increase Date.

2.11 [Reserved].

2.12 Extension of Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date.

(a) At any time and from time to time, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lenders), request an extension of the Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date then in effect (such existing Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date, the “Existing Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date”) to the Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date and change the Applicable Base Rate Margin, Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, amortization and/or fees payable with respect to such Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans of the Lenders that so consent to such extension (such changes in maturity and other terms, the “Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes”). Within 10 Business Days of delivery of such notice (or such other period as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree upon), each Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether or not it consents to the Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion). Any Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lender not responding within the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to the Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lenders of the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lenders’ responses.

(b) With respect to the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans held by the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lenders that consent to the Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes (such Loans, the “Consenting Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans”), the Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date shall be extended to the Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date and the other Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes shall become effective. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall promptly confirm to the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lenders the Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes and the effective date for such changes (the “Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans Extension Effective Date”) to the Consenting Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans Extension Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension (and to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) the Borrower and the Guarantors shall provide any other certifications or copies of instruments of a substantially similar nature to those that were provided in the “secretary’s certificate” or the reaffirmation agreement delivered on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) and certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article VI made by it are true and correct on and as of the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, and no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or will exist as of the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans Extension Effective Date and (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to it. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lenders that did not consent to the Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes (such Lenders, the “Declining Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lenders”) the then unpaid principal amount of such Declining Non-Extended Term B Dollar Lender’s Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans outstanding on the Existing Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5). Except with respect to the Proposed Non-Extended Term B Extension Changes, the Consenting Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans shall be deemed Extended Term B Dollar Loans for purposes of the Loan Documents. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent are hereby authorized to, without the consent of any Lenders or any other party, to make such changes to the Loan Documents as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

2.13 Incremental Borrowings.

(a) After the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower may at any time or from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request (x) one or more incremental senior secured term facilities on the terms set forth below (the “Incremental Term Facilities” and the term loans made thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (y) one or more incremental senior secured revolving facilities on the terms set forth below (the “Incremental Revolving Facilities” and the revolving loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Loans;” the Incremental Revolving Facilities, together with the Incremental Term Facilities, the “Incremental Facilities;” the Incremental Revolving Loans, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”). Each Incremental Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided,

that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the applicable limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Facilities and all Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Revolving Facilities shall not exceed $200,000,000; provided that any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be effectuated as an increase of the Revolving Facility.

(b) The only conditions to the effectiveness of each series of Incremental Amendment (but not the conditions to the Revolving Lenders and Swing Line Lender making any Revolving Loan or any Swing Line Loan or the Facing Agent issuing any Letter of Credit) shall be as follows: (i) the Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Loans, (ii) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility, no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall exist; provided, that with respect to any Incremental Facility incurred to finance an Investment permitted to be incurred hereunder, such Incremental Facility may be incurred irrespective of whether an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall exist, (iii) subject to the proviso below, the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents shall be accurate in all material respects immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility; provided, that with respect to any Incremental Facility incurred to finance an Investment permitted to be incurred hereunder, such Incremental Facility may be incurred irrespective of whether the representations and warranties required to be made under this clause (iii) are correct (other than with respect to (x) the Specified Representations (with an appropriate modification to the representation and warranty in Section 6.5 such that Solvency is measured as of the consummation of the relevant Incremental Facility) and (y) if there is an acquisition agreement relating to such Investment, the Target Representations, which representations and warranties in immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall be true and correct in all material respects upon such effectiveness), (iv) the relevant Incremental Facility shall not mature earlier than the maturity date of the Relevant AIY Reference Tranche, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the relevant Incremental Facility shall be no shorter than that of the Relevant AIY Reference Tranche, (vi) subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder, (vii) the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin and the Applicable Base Rate Margin applicable to each Incremental Term Facility will be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility; provided that in the event that the All-In Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Facility exceeds the All-In Yield of the Relevant AIY Reference Tranche by more than 50 basis points, then (1) the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin and Applicable Base Rate Margin for the Relevant AIY Reference Tranche shall be automatically increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield of the Relevant AIY Reference Tranche is equal to the All-In Yield of such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points (such increase in the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin and Applicable Base Rate Margin, the “MFN Margin Increase”) and (2) the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin and Applicable Base Rate Margin for each other Term Loan (other than the Relevant AIY Reference Tranche) shall be automatically increased by the MFN Margin Increase; provided, further, that, in the event the Eleventh Amendment Release Date occurs, to the extent the All-In Yield of such Incremental Term Loans is higher than the All-In Yield of the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans due to a Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate “floor” on such Incremental Term Loan being higher than the “floor” for the Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate as applied to the 2014-1 Additional

Term Loans, such portion of the MFN Margin Increase as applied to the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans so attributable to such higher “floor” shall be effected solely through an increase in any Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate “floor” applicable to such 2014-1 Additional Term Loans (without reducing the MFN Margin Increase applicable to the other Term Loans), (viii) any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on identical terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Loan, and (ix) except as otherwise required or permitted in clauses (ii) through (viii) above, all other terms of such Incremental Term Facility, if not consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loans, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (as evidenced by its execution of the applicable Incremental Amendment). Any Incremental Term Facility may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) as the Term Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment.

(c) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facility. Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make all or any portion of any Incremental Loan) or by any Additional Lender on terms permitted in this Section 2.13 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any Additional Lender or any existing Lender that is not a Revolving Lender as of the Tenth Amendment Effective Date providing all or a portion of such Incremental Revolving Facility if such consent by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, would be required hereunder, for an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments.

(d) Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. In connection with such Incremental Amendment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to request such legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates, mortgage amendments and other documentation and instruments with respect to the real property collateral, and/or reaffirmation agreements substantially consistent with those delivered on the Ninth Amendment Effective Date (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(e) Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Facility, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Facility (each an “Incremental Revolving Facility Lender”)

in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender and (ii) the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders shall make such Revolving Loans, and the other Revolving Lenders shall receive such prepayments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct, to cause the Revolving Loans to be made ratably by all the Revolving Lenders immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Facility. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

2.14 Refinancing Amendments.

At any time after the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will have such pricing, premiums and optional prepayment or redemption terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the lenders thereof, (ii) will have a maturity date that is no earlier than, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the Term Loans being refinanced, (iii)(A) constitutes Indebtedness of the Borrower that is not guaranteed by any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (B) is not secured by any assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary other than the Collateral (and, if secured, the security agreements relating to such Indebtedness are substantially the same as the Collateral Documents (with such changes as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)) and (C) a Senior Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness shall have become party to or otherwise subject to one or more intercreditor agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (iv) will have covenants and events of default (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes pricing, premiums and optional prepayment or redemption terms) that are substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole as determined by the Borrower in its reasonable judgment) are no more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than those applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced are to the Lenders of such Term Loans; provided that the covenants and events of default applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained; provided, further, that a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material covenants and events of default of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such covenants and events of default satisfy the requirement of this clause (iv) shall be conclusive evidence that such covenants and events of

100

default satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower within such five (5) Business Day period that it disagrees with such determination (including a description of the basis upon which it disagrees)). Any Refinancing Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates, mortgage amendments and other documentation and instruments with respect to real property collateral and/or reaffirmation agreements substantially consistent with those delivered on the Ninth Amendment Effective Date (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.14 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14.

2.15 Extensions of Loans.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time after the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “New Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding a particular Class of Loans and/or Commitments with a like maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans and/or Commitments with the same maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower may from time to time with the consent of any Lender that shall have accepted such offer extend the maturity date of any Loans and/or Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans and/or Commitments of such Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant New Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Loans that are Term Loans) (each, a “New Extension”, and each group of Loans and/or Commitments so extended, as well as the original Loans and/or Commitments not so extended, being a “tranche”; any New Extended Term Loans and any New Extended Revolving Commitments and New Extended Revolving Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the tranche of Loans and/or Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time the notice in respect of a New Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, and no Unmatured Event of Default or

101

Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to the effectiveness of any New Extension, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant New Extension Offer), the Loans and Commitments of any Lender (a “New Extending Lender”) extended pursuant to any New Extension (any Term Loans so extended, “New Extended Term Loans” and any Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans so extended, “New Extended Revolving Commitments” and “New Extended Revolving Loans”) shall each have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to such New Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the then Latest Maturity Date), (iii) the final maturity date of any New Extended Term Loans and of any New Extended Revolving Commitments shall be no earlier than the then applicable Latest Maturity Date at the time of extension (provided that in the case of any New Extended Revolving Commitments, such final maturity shall only be required to be no earlier than the final maturity of any then-outstanding Revolving Commitments or New Extended Revolving Commitments), (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Extended Term Loans and of any New Extended Revolving Commitments shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Loans and/or Commitments extended thereby, (v) any New Extended Term Loans and any New Extended Revolving Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable New Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans and/or Commitments (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant New Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans and/or Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such New Extension Offer, then the Loans and/or Commitments of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such New Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such New Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (ix) the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, Applicable Base Rate Margin and any OID applicable to any New Extended Term Loans and any New Extended Revolving Commitments will be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such New Extended Term Loans and/or New Extended Revolving Commitments.

(b) With respect to all New Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such New Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Article IV and (ii) any New Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree), provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such New Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant New Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans and/or Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, in the case of any New Extension of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, (i) all borrowings and all prepayments of Revolving Loans shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Revolving Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Commitments, until the repayment of the Revolving Loans attributable to the non-extended Revolving Commitments on the relevant maturity date, (ii) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan as between the Revolving Commitments of such new tranche and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis in accordance with the relative amounts thereof until the maturity date relating to such non-extended Revolving Commitments has occurred, (iii) no termination of New Extended Revolving Commitments and no repayment of New Extended Revolving Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in New Extended Revolving Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of each other tranche of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments (or each other tranche of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full), (iv) as applied to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, the maturity date or commitment termination date with respect to the Revolving Commitments may not be extended without the prior written consent of the Facing Agents and the Swing Line Lender, (v) at no time shall there be more than ten different tranches of Term Loans and three different tranches of Revolving Commitments, (vi) for the avoidance of doubt, the Facing Agent Sublimit and the Swing Line Lender Sublimit shall never be increased without the prior written consent of the Facing Agents and the Swing Line Lenders and (vii) in addition to the limitations imposed by the Facing Agent Sublimit and the Swing Line Lender Sublimit, no Letter of Credit shall be issued, and no Swing Line Loan shall be made, if there are Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans with expiry dates and maturity later than the maturity or termination dates of the Revolving Commitments to which they are participated pursuant to clause (ii) of this clause (c).

(d) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15. In connection with any New Extension, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to request such legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates, mortgage amendments and other documentation and instruments with respect to the real property collateral, and/or reaffirmation agreements substantially consistent with those delivered on the Ninth Amendment Effective Date (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be under any obligation to participate in any New Extension Offer or become a New Extending Lender.

(e) In connection with any New Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if

103

any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15.

ARTICLE III

INTEREST AND FEES

3.1 Interest.

(a) Base Rate Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin, from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrower (or, if such Base Rate Loan was converted from a Eurocurrency Loan, the date of such conversion) until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to Section 2.6.

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Loan at a rate per annum equal to the relevant Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrower (or, if such Eurocurrency Loan was converted from a Base Rate Loan, the date of such conversion) until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.6.

(c) Payment of Interest. Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest accruing pursuant to Section 3.1(e) and as otherwise set forth in the penultimate sentence of this Section 3.1(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand. Interest shall also be payable on all then outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolver Termination Date and on all Loans on the date of repayment (including prepayment) thereof (except that accrued interest need not be paid in connection with voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 4.3 of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made on any day other than a Quarterly Payment Date or the Revolver Termination Date; provided such accrued interest is paid on the next Quarterly Payment Date) or on the date of maturity (by acceleration or otherwise), as applicable, of such Loans. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest on any Loan shall be payable on demand. Interest to be paid with respect to Loans denominated in (x) Dollars shall be paid in Dollars and (y) in an Alternative Currency shall be in such Alternative Currency.

(d) Notification of Rate. The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Such determination shall, absent manifest error and subject to Section 3.6, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.

(e) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified herein, effective on the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long thereafter as any such Event of Default shall be continuing, and effective immediately upon any failure to pay any

104

Obligations or any other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the principal balance of each Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payment on each Loan not paid when due or other amounts then due and payable shall bear interest payable on demand, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(f) Maximum Interest. If any interest payment or other charge or fee payable hereunder exceeds the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law and the Borrower shall continue to pay the maximum amount from time to time permitted by applicable law until all such interest payments and other charges and fees otherwise due hereunder (in the absence of such restraint imposed by applicable law) have been paid in full.

3.2 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each Non-Impaired Lender having a Revolving Commitment (based on its Pro Rata Share) a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period commencing on the Closing Date to and including the Revolver Termination Date, computed at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage per annum on the average daily Total Available Revolving Commitment, which shall be calculated based upon the time period as to which such Commitment Fee is being paid. Unless otherwise specified, accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and payable (i) on each Quarterly Payment Date occurring after the Closing Date, (ii) on the Revolver Termination Date and (iii) upon any reduction or termination in whole or in part of the Revolving Commitments, as the case may be (but only, in the case of a reduction, on the portion of the Revolving Commitments then being reduced).

(b) Impaired Lender Fees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as a Revolving Lender is an Impaired Lender, such Impaired Lender shall not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and Section 2.9(e) (without prejudice to the rights of the Revolving Lenders other than Impaired Lenders in respect of such fees); provided, that (i) to the extent that a Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans of such Impaired Lender is reallocated to the Non-Impaired Lenders pursuant to Section 3.8(a), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Impaired Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Impaired Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any portion of such LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans cannot be so reallocated and the Borrower does not Cash Collateralize such portion in an amount not less than 105% of the amount of such portion (or prepay such Swing Line Loans) or make other arrangements pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ii), then such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the applicable Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender as their interests appear.

(c) Arranger and Agency Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account (or the account of its Affiliates), agency and other Loan fees in the amount and at the times set forth in the Fifth Amendment Fee Letter.

105

3.3 Computation of Interest and Fees.

Interest on all Loans and fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days; provided that interest on all Base Rate Loans and Sterling denominated Loans shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to this Agreement. Each change in the Applicable Base Rate Margin or Applicable Eurocurrency Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage or any change in the LC Commission as a result of a change in the Borrower’s Most Recent Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the date upon which such change in such ratio occurs.

3.4 Interest Periods.

At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to any Borrowing bearing interest with reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, the Borrower shall elect, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable thereto, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be one, two, three or six months or, if available or otherwise satisfactory to each of the applicable Lenders (as determined by each such applicable Lender in its sole discretion) a twelve month period, provided that:

(i) all Eurocurrency Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan shall commence on the date of such Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Loan of a different Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurocurrency Loan shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period;

(iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurocurrency Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) at any time when an Event of Default is then in existence, no Interest Period (a) of more than one month may be selected with respect to any

106

Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency and (b) may be selected with respect to any Loan denominated in Dollars;

(vi) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the applicable Term Maturity Date for any Term Loan or the Revolver Termination Date for any Revolving Loan; and

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term Loans for any Term Facility shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Term Repayment will be required to be made under Section 4.4(b) for such Term Facility if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Term B Dollar Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required prepayment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (i) with respect to Term B Dollar Loans, the Borrower may only have Base Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Loans with a one month Interest Period for the first 30 days after the Third Amendment Effective Date or, if earlier, the date on which the Administrative Agent informs the Borrower of the completion of the syndication of the Existing Term B Dollar Loans and (ii) if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may offer Interest Periods shorter than one month.

3.5 Compensation for Funding Losses.

The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts, showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurocurrency Loans to the extent not recovered by the Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds and including the compensation payable by such Lender to a Participant) and any loss sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds (including, without limitation, a return on such liquidation or re-employment that would result in such Lender receiving less than it would have received had such Eurocurrency Loan remained outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Loans) which such Lender may sustain as a result of: (i) the continuation or Borrowing of, the conversion from or into, a Eurocurrency Loan not occurring on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation (whether or not withdrawn for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent)); (ii) any payment, prepayment or conversion or continuation of any of its Eurocurrency Loans occurring for any reason whatsoever on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) any repayment of any of its Eurocurrency Loans not being made on the date specified in a notice of payment given by the Borrower; or (iv) (A) any other failure by the Borrower to repay its Eurocurrency Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (B) an election made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.7; provided that such written request, including the calculation as to additional amounts owed such Lender under this Section 3.5, is delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be delivered within 30 days of such event. Absent manifest error, such request shall be final, conclusive and binding

107

for all purposes. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.5 shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded its relevant Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a Eurocurrency deposit bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurocurrency deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurocurrency Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 3.5.

3.6 Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

(a) Generally. Except as provided in Section 4.7, in the event that any Lender shall have determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Rate Determination Date that, by reason of any change arising after the date of the Closing Date affecting the interbank Eurocurrency market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurocurrency Rate; or

(ii) at any time that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reduction in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan because of (x) any change arising after the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in applicable law after the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 3.6(a)(ii) regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of the principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes described in Sections 4.7(a)(i) through (vii)) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements (but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurocurrency Rate) and/or (y) other circumstances arising after the Closing Date affecting such Lender or the interbank Eurocurrency market or the position of such Lender in such market (excluding, however, differences in such Lender’s cost of funds from those of the Administrative Agent

108

which are solely the result of credit differences between such Lender and the Administrative Agent); or

(iii) at any time that (x) the making or continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has been made (1) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, or (2) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurocurrency market or (y) compliance by such Lender, acting in good faith, with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) is impossible;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurocurrency Loans (other than with respect to conversions to Base Rate Loans) which have not yet been advanced (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower; (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest, as such Lender in its reasonable good faith judgment shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (such written demand as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, which shall show the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto); provided, that such Lender shall not be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6(a)(y) for any change or circumstance referred to in this Section 3.6(a) occurring prior to the 180th day before the making of such demand (unless the change is due to a law enacted with retroactive effect, in which case the 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect); and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.6(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. In determining such additional amounts pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, each affected Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and will, to the extent the increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable relate to such Lender’s loans in general and are not specifically attributable to a Loan hereunder, use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which cover all loans similar to the Loans made by such Lender whether or not the loan documentation for such other loans permits the Lender to receive increased costs of the type described in this Section 3.6(a).

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. At any time that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.6(a)(iii), shall) either (i) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan has not yet been made or the conversion to such Eurocurrency Loan has not yet been accomplished, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the

109

affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel the respective Borrowing, or (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurocurrency Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.6(b).

(c) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case after the Closing Date) (provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith concerning capital adequacy and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in applicable law concerning capital adequacy after the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 3.6(c) regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon its written notice as hereafter described, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which will, to the extent the increased costs or reduction in the rate of return relates to such Lender’s commitments or obligations in general and are not specifically attributable to the Commitments and obligations hereunder, cover all commitments and obligations similar to the Commitments and obligations of such Lender hereunder whether or not the loan documentation for such other commitments or obligations permits such Lender to make the determination specified in this Section 3.6(c), and such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 3.6(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.6(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided that no Lender shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6(c) for increased costs incurred prior to the 180th day before the giving of such notice, unless such increased costs are due to a change in law that provides for retroactive effect, in which case the 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(d) Change of Lending Office. Each Lender which is or will be owed compensation pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (c) or 4.7 will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to cause a different

110

Lending Office to make or continue a Loan or Letter of Credit if such designation will avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such compensation to such Lender and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Lending Office. Nothing in this Section 3.6(d) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided for herein.

3.7 Replacement of Affected Lenders.

(x) So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, if any Revolving Lender becomes an Impaired Lender, (y) if any Lender (or in the case of Section 2.9(i), Facing Agent) is owed increased costs under Section 2.9(i), Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), or Section 3.6(c), or the Borrower is required to make any payments under Section 4.7(a) or (c) to any Lender, or (z) as provided in Section 12.1(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed amendments, changes, supplements, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that no such Eligible Assignee is an Impaired Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), provided further that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Replaced Lender and Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more assignment agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to such parties and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire, at par, all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans by, the Replaced Lender (with the assignment fee paid by either the Replacement Lender or the Borrower) and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (including, without limitation, such increased costs and including those specifically described in clause (y) above but excluding principal and interest in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being paid at par) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clause (ii) above and the par purchase price referred to in (i) above, and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Loans hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no Lender that acts as a Facing Agent may be replaced hereunder at any time during which such Facing Agent has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, unless arrangements satisfactory to such Facing Agent (including (1) the furnishing of a standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, satisfactory to such Facing Agent or (2) the depositing of cash collateral into a collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Facing Agent) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit. The Replaced Lender shall be required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes to be canceled on the date of replacement, or if any such Note is lost or unavailable, such other assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request.

111

3.8 Impaired Lenders.

(a) Reallocation of Impaired Lender Commitment. If a Revolving Lender becomes an Impaired Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding LC Obligations and any outstanding Swing Line Loans for so long as such Revolving Lender is an Impaired Lender:

(i) the Pro Rata Share of such Impaired Lender with respect to any LC Obligations and any outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes an Impaired Lender, but without releasing such Impaired Lender from any of its obligations or commitments) among the Revolving Lenders that are Non-Impaired Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments but only to the extent the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each of the Non-Impaired Lenders’ Revolving Loans plus each of the Non-Impaired Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans does not exceed the total of all Non-Impaired Lenders’ Revolving Commitments; provided, that no such reallocation will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Facing Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Revolving Lender may have against such Impaired Lender (including any claim for contribution made by a Non-Impaired Lender in respect of amounts funded by such Non-Impaired Lender pursuant to such reallocation of commitments) or cause such Impaired Lender to be a Non-Impaired Lender;

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Pro Rata Share of such Impaired Lender with respect to any LC Obligations and any outstanding Swing Line Loans cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than 10 Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Facing Agent and/or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to any Facing Agent in respect of such LC Obligations in an amount at least equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such LC Obligations, or (B) in the case of such outstanding Swing Line Loans, prepay the unreallocated portion thereof, or (C) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Impaired Lender; and

(iii) any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received for the account of an Impaired Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be distributed to such Impaired Lender within the meaning of clause (i), (ii)(x) or (iii) of the definition of Impaired Lender (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Obligations for which such amount is paid for the account of such Impaired Lender will be satisfied and discharged in full when paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent), and such amount will instead be retained by the

112

Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.10) the termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Impaired Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Impaired Lender to any Facing Agent or the Swing Line Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Revolving Lenders hereunder other than Impaired Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Impaired Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal of the Revolving Loans and any reimbursement obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit then due and payable to the Non-Impaired Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement to the Non-Impaired Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Impaired Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) Termination of Impaired Lender Commitments. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of an Impaired Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Facing Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Revolving Lender may have against such Impaired Lender.

(c) Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Revolving Lender that is an Impaired Lender should no longer be deemed to be an Impaired Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice, such Revolving Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (or the other Revolving Lenders will purchase from the formerly Impaired Lender) and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with its Revolving Commitment, whereupon such Revolving Lender will cease to be an Impaired Lender and will be a Non-Impaired Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Revolving Lender was an Impaired Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Impaired Lender to Non-Impaired Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Revolving Lender having been an Impaired Lender.

REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS; PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

4.1 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and/or, the Swing Line Commitment, as the case may be, in part or in whole; provided that (i) any such voluntary termination of the Revolving Commitments shall apply proportionately to, and shall permanently reduce, the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender; (ii) any partial voluntary reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount and (iii) any such voluntary termination of the Revolving Commitment shall occur simultaneously with a voluntary prepayment, pursuant to Section 4.3 such that the total of the Revolving Commitments shall not be reduced below the sum of the Assigned Dollar Value of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Obligations plus any Overdraft Reserve.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 12.1(b), the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Commitment of such Lender, so long as (i) the Borrower repays all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and all other amounts, due and owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 4.3(b) concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination at which time Schedule 1.1(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts and (ii) the Borrower cash collateralizes such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations (in the manner set forth in Section 4.4(a)) then outstanding. At such time, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications in favor of such Lender under this Agreement which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

(c) In the event that any Revolving Lender does not consent to an increase in its Revolving Commitment pursuant to a Revolving Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Revolving Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender, so long as the Borrower repays all Revolving Loans, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon, concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination at which time Schedule 1.1(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts and such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.10(c). At such time, such Revolving Lender shall no longer constitute a “Revolving Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications in favor of such Revolving Lender under this Agreement which shall survive as to such repaid Revolving Lender.

(d) Reduction of Term C Dollar Commitments. The Term C Dollar Commitments shall terminate on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the Term C Dollar Loans on such date.

4.3 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Revolving Loans, any of the Term Loans or the Swing Line Loans in any combination, in whole or in part, from time to time, without premium or penalty except as set forth in Section 4.5(c) and Section 4.5(e) on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice at its Notice Office (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans, whether such Loans are Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, the amount of such prepayment and the specific Borrowings to which such prepayment is to be applied, which notice shall be given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior in the case of Eurocurrency Loans and at least one Business Day prior in the case of Base Rate Loans to the date of such prepayment and which notice shall (except in the case of Swing Line Loans) promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the applicable Lenders; (ii) each partial prepayment of any Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of Swing Line Loans) shall be in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of at least $5,000,000 and each partial prepayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500,000; provided, that any partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing that reduces the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto shall be subject to the ante-penultimate sentence of Section 4.5(a)(i); (iii) Eurocurrency Loans may be prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.3 on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or subject to Section 3.5 on any other day; (iv) except as may otherwise be set forth in any Refinancing Amendment, New Extension Offer or Incremental Amendment in accordance with the terms of Sections 2.13, 2,14 or 2.15, respectively, each prepayment in respect of any Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Loans comprising such Borrowing; provided, that such prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loans of an Impaired Lender at any time when the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans of any Non-Impaired Lender exceeds such Non-Impaired Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Loans then outstanding; (v) each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied first to the Scheduled Term Repayments of the Term

115

Facility being repaid due within the 12 month period following the date of such prepayment in direct order of maturity and, thereafter, shall be applied to reduce the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of such Scheduled Term Repayments). Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, such prepayment shall be applied first to the payment of Base Rate Loans and second to the payment of such Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower shall request (and in the absence of such request, as the Administrative Agent shall determine). The notice provisions, the provisions with respect to the minimum amount of any prepayment, and the provisions requiring prepayments in integral multiples above such minimum amount of this Section 4.3 are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and may be waived unilaterally by the Administrative Agent.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 12.1(b), the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to repay all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and all other amounts due and owing to such Lender in accordance with said Section 12.1(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (b), the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and (B) in the case of the repayment of Loans of any Lender, the consents required by Section 12.1(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as (x) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) no proceeds of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans are used for this purpose, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding Term Loans (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower) on the following basis:

(i) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Loan Prepayment”), in each case made in accordance with this Section 4.3(c); provided that the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 4.3(c) in order to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

116

(ii) (A) Subject to the proviso to subsection (i) above, the Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Lender of Term Loans and/or (y) so long as the Borrower Offer of Discounted Loan Prepayment is only being made to such Class of Term Loans, each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable tranche, the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).

(B) Each Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its applicable then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the tranches of such Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

(C) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make a prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (ii) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and tranches of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (A) above; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance

117

with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, tranche and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and such Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (vi) below (subject to subsection (x) below).

(iii) (A) Subject to the proviso to subsection (i) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Lender of Term Loans and/or (y) so long as the Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offer is only being made to such Class of Term Loans, each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant tranche of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offers pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each

118

Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.

(B) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (iii). The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (C)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

(C) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will

119

calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (vi) below (subject to subsection (x) below).

(iv) (A) Subject to the proviso to subsection (i) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Lender of Term Loans and/or (y) so long as the Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offer is only being made to such Class of Term Loans, each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the tranche or tranches of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offers pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered

120

Discount. Any Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

(B) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (B) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(C) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 4.3(c)(iv). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (C) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of

121

the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the tranches to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (vi) below (subject to subsection (x) below).

(v) In connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith.

(vi) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with subsections (ii) through (iv) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of

122

Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Loan Prepayment.

(vii) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 4.3(c), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 4.3(c), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(ix) The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 4.3(c) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consent to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 4.3(c) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(x) The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall not constitute an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default under Article X or otherwise).

(xi) For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be required to participate in any Discounted Loan Prepayment.

4.4 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Prepayment Upon Overadvance. The Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and/or Swing Line Loans on any date on which the Assigned Dollar Value of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Obligations (after giving effect to any other repayments or prepayments on such day) plus any Overdraft Reserve exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect (including, without

123

limitation, solely as a result of fluctuation in Exchange Rates), in the amount of such excess and in the applicable currency; provided, however, that if such excess is solely as a result of fluctuation in Exchange Rates, (i) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such amount until four Business Days after notice from the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such amount unless such excess is greater than the Dollar Equivalent of an amount equal to 5% of the Total Revolving Commitment. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4(a), the aggregate Assigned Dollar Value of LC Obligations plus any Overdraft Reserve exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall cash collateralize LC Obligations by depositing, pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, cash with the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the difference between the Assigned Dollar Value of such LC Obligations plus any Overdraft Reserve and the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect. The Administrative Agent shall establish in its name for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders a collateral account into which it shall deposit such cash to hold as collateral security for the LC Obligations.

(b) Scheduled Term Repayments. The Borrower shall cause to be paid Scheduled Term Repayments for each Term Facility on the Term Loans until the Term Loans are paid in full in the amounts and currencies and at the times specified in each of the Scheduled Term Repayments definition to the extent that prepayments have not previously been applied to such Scheduled Term Repayments (and such Scheduled Term Repayments have not otherwise been reduced) pursuant to the terms hereof. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) with respect to Term B Dollar Loans shall be paid in Dollars. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) with respect to Term C Dollar Loans shall be paid in Dollars.

(i) On the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Disposition (other than the US Commodity Business Sale, the UK Business Sale or the C4 Business Sale) or Net Recovery Proceeds of a Recovery Event (or in the case of a receipt thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower, such later date as is practicable (but in any event not later than the 360th day or such earlier day as the Borrower is obligated to make an offer to purchase any Public Notes due to such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event) in the event that such mandatory repayment would result in the provisions of Sections 151 et seq. of the Companies Xxx 0000 of England being breached or in any Foreign Subsidiary breaching any similar applicable law in its country of incorporation), the Borrower shall cause to be paid a mandatory repayment of principal of Loans pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a) in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Term Loan Ratable Share of such Net Sale Proceeds or such Net Recovery Proceeds and (B) 100% of such Net Sale Proceeds or such Net Recovery Proceeds less the applicable Required Note Offer Amount Proceeds; provided, that so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, if either (i) the Net Recovery Proceeds of any single or series of related Recovery Events or (ii) the Net Sale Proceeds of any single or series of related Asset Dispositions are less than

124

$10,000,000 in the aggregate, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 4.4(c)(i), with respect to such Recovery Event(s) or Asset Disposition(s) (but if greater than $10,000,000, the entire amount of the Net Recovery Proceeds or the Net Sale Proceeds, as applicable, shall be required to be prepaid and not only the portion of the Net Recovery Proceeds or the Net Sale Proceeds, as applicable, in excess of $10,000,000); provided, further, that the Net Recovery Proceeds of a Recovery Event and the Net Sale Proceeds of an Asset Disposition (if such Asset Disposition is permitted by Section 8.3(h) or (i)), shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that (x) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists and (y) the Borrower delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that an amount equal to such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Recovery Proceeds, as applicable, (1) has been used, or (2) is expected to be used within 360 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Recovery Proceeds, as applicable, to purchase assets used or to be used in the businesses referred to in Section 8.9 (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended, if applicable) or to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire up to $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of obligations under the Senior Secured Notes (2010) or the Senior Notes (2012) in accordance with the terms of Section 8.11(i); provided, however, that (1) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Recovery Proceeds, as applicable, not so applied to the repayment of Loans have not been used or are not so used (or contractually committed to be used) within such 360 day period as provided above, or not applied in accordance with the terms of Section 8.11(i), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of the period or such earlier date as the Borrower is obligated to make an offer to purchase Senior Secured Notes (2010) due to such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event, as applicable, as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Loans as provided above in this Section 4.4(c) and (2) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are a result of an Asset Disposition involving the sale of Collateral owned by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than the Capital Stock of a Foreign Subsidiary) or if all or any portion of such Net Recovery Proceeds are a result of a Recovery Event involving Collateral owned by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary, respectively, then such Net Sale Proceeds and Net Recovery Proceeds shall be required to be reinvested in assets located in the United States constituting Collateral (to the extent not used to repay Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt of any XXX Claim Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be paid a mandatory repayment of principal of Loans pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a) in an amount equal to such XXX Claim Proceeds.

(ii) The Lenders, by execution hereof, hereby irrevocably instruct the Administrative Agent, upon the request of the Borrower, to waive (A) up to $200,000,000 of Net Sale Proceeds otherwise required to prepay the Loans hereunder in any Fiscal Year, (B) up to $50,000,000 in the aggregate of Net Sale Proceeds received in connection with Sale and Leaseback Transactions of transportation assets and (C) to the extent not previously waived, Net Sale Proceeds from the C4 Business Sale and the UK Business Sale.

125

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4(c), if the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are required by the terms of any Public Note Document to make an offer to purchase Public Notes due to an Asset Disposition (other than the US Commodity Business Sale and the Asset Dispositions described in clause (ii)(C) above) but would not otherwise be required to make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans applied pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a), the Borrower shall cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.5(a) in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Term Loan Ratable Share of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Disposition and (B) 100% of such Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Disposition less the applicable Required Note Offer Amount Proceeds.

(d) Mandatory Prepayment With Excess Cash Flow. As soon as practicable and in any event by April 30th of each year (commencing April 30, 2006), the Borrower shall cause to be paid a mandatory repayment of principal of Loans applied pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(a) in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year then most recently ended; provided, that so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, (i) if the Most Recent Leverage Ratio is less than 3.5 to 1.0, then, instead of 50%, an amount equal to 25% of Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans as provided in Section 4.5 and (ii) if the Most Recent Leverage Ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0 then no mandatory prepayment shall be required to be applied from Excess Cash Flow.

4.5 Application of Prepayments.

(a) Prepayments.

(i) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all prepayments of principal made by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 4.4(c) and (d) shall be applied (i) first, subject to Section 4.5(a)(ii), to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans (with, except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, the Term Percentage for each Term Facility of such repayment to be applied as a repayment of Term Loans of such Term Facility), second, to the prepayment of the then outstanding balance of Swing Line Loans, third, to the payment, pro rata, of the then outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans (and the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the amount of the required prepayment not applied to the Term Loans), and fourth, to the cash collateralization of LC Obligations; (ii) within each of the foregoing Loans, first to the payment of Base Rate Loans and second to the payment of Eurocurrency Loans; and (iii) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, in such order as the Borrower shall request (and in the absence of such request, as the Administrative Agent shall determine). Each prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Sections 4.4(c) and (d) shall be allocated first to the Term Loans based on the aggregate principal amount of the Scheduled Term Repayments due within the twelve month period following the date of such prepayment in direct order of maturity, and, thereafter, shall be allocated second to the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans and Term C Dollar Loans in proportional amounts equal to

126

the Non-Extended Term B or Term C Percentage for the Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans or the Term C Dollar Loans, as applicable (in each case, after giving effect to the prepayments made to the Scheduled Term Repayments due within such twelve month period as specified above), as the case may be, of such remaining prepayment, if any, and, within each Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loan or Term C Dollar Loan, shall be applied to reduce the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of such Scheduled Term Repayments) and thereafter, shall be allocated third, without duplication, to the Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the Series 2 Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the 2013 Additional Term Loans, the 2013-1 Additional Term Loans, the 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the 2015 Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans and the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans in proportional amounts equal to the Extended Term B, Series 2, 2013 Additional Term, 2013-1 Additional Term, 2015 Extended Term B, 2015 Non-Extended Term B or 2014-1 Additional Term Percentage for the Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the Series 2 Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the 2013 Additional Term Loans, the 2013-1 Additional Term Loans, the 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the 2015 Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans or the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans, as applicable (in each case, after giving effect to the prepayments made to the Scheduled Term Repayments due within such twelve month period as specified above), as the case may be, of such remaining prepayment, if any, and, within each Extended Term B Dollar Loan, Series 2 Extended Term B Dollar Loan, 2013 Additional Term Loan, 2013-1 Additional Term Loan, 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Loan, 2015 Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loan or 2014-1 Additional Term Loan, shall be applied to reduce the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of such Scheduled Term Repayments). If any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into Base Rate Loans, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, or into Loans with one month Interest Periods, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency. All prepayments shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid, shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal and shall include amounts payable, if any, under Section 3.5. All payments received in Dollars which are required to be applied in Euros and/or Sterling shall be converted to Euros or Sterling, as the case may be, at the Spot Rate on the date of such prepayment.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event (such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt (or Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) required to be offered to be so repurchased,

127

“Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Sale Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 4.5 and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to Section 4.4(c) and this Section 4.5(a) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.4 or this Section 4.5(a), prior to the Eleventh Amendment Release Date or the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans Termination Date, no mandatory prepayments shall be required in respect of the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.4(c) or (d) and any mandatory prepayments pursuant to such sections shall be made as if the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans were not outstanding on the date of such prepayment.

(b) Payments. All Scheduled Term Repayments, all mandatory prepayments and unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, all voluntary prepayments shall be applied (i) first to the payment of Base Rate Loans, if any, and second to the payment of Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, in such order as the Borrower shall request (and in the absence of such request, as the Administrative Agent shall determine). All payments shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount so paid, shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal and shall include amounts payable, if any, under Section 3.5. Each payment applied to the Term Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, be deemed to apply to the portion thereof that was used to repay and replace the loans originally incurred by the Borrower to purchase the Capital Stock of TG.

(c) Call Protection. In the event that prior to the first anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower makes any prepayment of all or part of the Existing Term B Dollar Loans in connection with any replacement or refinancing of the Existing Term B Dollar Loans with or from the proceeds of a new term loan having an “Applicable Eurocurrency Margin” (or other equivalent term) that, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date is, or could upon satisfaction of certain conditions be, less than the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for the Existing Term B Dollar Loans, the Borrower shall pay a prepayment fee to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Existing Term B Dollar Lenders equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the Existing Term B Dollar Loans so refinanced, provided that the foregoing prepayment fee shall not be applicable if such prepayment is made in connection with the termination of all of the Revolving Commitments and a repayment of all of

128

the Loans hereunder. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.5(c), any amendment, restatement or other modification to this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date that reduces the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin applicable to the Existing Term B Dollar Loans shall be treated as if the Existing Term B Dollar Loans were refinanced in full.

(d) Prepayment in Full of Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans, Extended Term B Dollar Loans or Term C Dollar Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including without limitation, any provision of Article IV hereof, the Borrower shall have (i) the right to prepay in whole (but not in part) the outstanding 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the 2015 Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans or 2014-1 Additional Term Loans without any obligation to prepay any portion of the Term C Dollar Loans and (ii) the right to prepay in whole (but not in part) the outstanding Term C Dollar Loans without any obligation to prepay any portion of the 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Loans, the 2015 Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans or 2014-1 Additional Term Loans.

(e) Repricing Transactions.

(i) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months following the Eleventh Amendment Release Date, a Repricing Transaction with respect to the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans shall occur, a fee of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2014-1 Additional Term Loans subject to such Repricing Transaction shall be payable by Borrower to the 2014-1 Additional Term Lenders on a ratable basis upon the consummation of such Repricing Transaction. If, on or prior to the date that is six months following the Eleventh Amendment Release Date, any 2014-1 Additional Term Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(A) in connection with its refusal to consent to a reduction or postponement of such 1.00% fee, the Borrower shall pay to such replaced 2014-1 Additional Term Lender the fee referred to in the immediately preceding sentence upon such replacement.

(ii) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months following the Fourteenth Amendment Effective Date, a Repricing Transaction with respect to the 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Loans shall occur, a fee of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Loans subject to such Repricing Transaction shall be payable by Borrower to the 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Lenders on a ratable basis upon the consummation of such Repricing Transaction. If, on or prior to the date that is six months following the Fourteenth Amendment Effective Date, any 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(A) in connection with its refusal to consent to a reduction or postponement of such 1.00% fee, the Borrower shall pay to such replaced 2015 Extended Term B Dollar Lender the fee referred to in the immediately preceding sentence upon such replacement.

4.6 Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders

129

entitled thereto, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds and in each case to the account specified therefor for the Administrative Agent or if no account has been so specified at the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders entitled to receive any such payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If and to the extent that any such distribution shall not be so made by the Administrative Agent in full on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day), the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its ratable amount thereof and each such Lender shall be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent, upon demand, interest on such amount at the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or the applicable cost of funds with respect to amounts denominated in Euros or Sterling) for each day from the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent pays such amount to such Lender.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement which are made by the Borrower later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall, for the purpose of calculation of interest, be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension, except that with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, if such next succeeding applicable Business Day is not in the same month as the date on which such payment would otherwise be due hereunder or under any Note, the due date with respect thereto shall be the next preceding Business Day.

4.7 Net Payments.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All payments hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, payments on account of principal and interest and fees) shall be made by the Borrower free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other charge of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority, but excluding therefrom (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the overall net income (including franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes) of the Lender or the lending office of the Lender in respect of which the payment is made by the United States or by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) in which the Lender is incorporated or the jurisdiction (or political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) in which its lending office is located, (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, (iii) in the case of any Lender organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia), any taxes imposed by the United States by means of withholding at the source unless such withholding results from a change in applicable law, treaty or regulations or the interpretation or administration thereof (including, without limitation, any guideline or policy not having the force of law) by any authority charged with the administration

130

thereof subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, (iv) any taxes to which the Lender is subject (to the extent of the tax rate then in effect) on the Closing Date or to which such Lender would be subject on such date if a payment hereunder had been received by the Lender on such date and with respect to any Lender that becomes a party hereto after the Closing Date, any taxes to which such Lender is subject on the date it becomes a party hereto (other than taxes which each of the other Lenders is entitled to reimbursements for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), (v) taxes to which the Lender becomes subject subsequent to the date referred to in clause (iv) above as a result of a change in the residence, place of incorporation, or principal place of business of the Lender, a change in the branch or lending office of the Lender participating in the transactions set forth herein or other similar circumstances or as a result of the recognition by the Lender of gain on the sale, assignment or participation by the Lender of the participating interests in its creditor positions hereunder, (vi) any withholding tax that is imposed as a result of a Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 4.7(d) and (vii) any United Stated federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (such tax or taxes, other than the tax or taxes described in Sections 4.7(a)(i) through (vi), being herein referred to as “Tax” or “Taxes”). If the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding of any Taxes from any payment due hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, then the amount payable will be increased to such amount which, after deduction from such increased amount of all such Taxes required to be withheld or deducted therefrom, will not be less than the amount due and payable hereunder had no such deduction or withholding been required. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 4.7 submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine in good faith such amount and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.

(b) If the Borrower makes any payment hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents in respect of which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding of any Taxes, it shall pay the full amount to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and shall deliver to the Lenders within 30 days after it has made such payment to the applicable authority an original or certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender or Administrative Agent.

(c) Without prejudice to the other provisions of Section 4.7, if any Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, is required by law to make any payment on account of Taxes on or in relation to any amount received or receivable hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents by such Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any liability for Tax in respect of any such payment is imposed, levied or assessed against any Lender or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, the Borrower will promptly, following receipt of the certificate described in the immediately following sentence, indemnify such person against such Tax payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) payable or incurred in connection therewith, including any tax of any Lender or the Administrative Agent arising by virtue of payments under this Section 4.7(c), computed in a manner consistent with this Section 4.7(c). A certificate as to the amount of such payment by such Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, showing calculations thereof

131

in reasonable detail, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes.

(d) (i) To the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent it has not already delivered the applicable forms, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the Initial Borrowing date (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, on the date of such assignment to such Lender) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the IRS) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made under this Agreement or any Note. If a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant is claiming a complete exemption from withholding on interest pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, the Lender shall deliver (along with two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.7(d) (any such certificate, a “Section 4.7(d)(i) Certificate”). In addition, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Participant agrees that from time to time after the Initial Borrowing date, (or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee, after the date of the assignment to such Lender), when a lapse in time (or change in circumstances occurs) renders the prior certificates hereunder obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent two new and accurate and complete original signed copies of an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable forms prescribed by the IRS), and if applicable, a new Section 4.7(d)(i) Certificate, to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender or Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made under this Agreement or any Note.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Participant (other than any such Lender which is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) to Borrower and Administrative Agent certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding tax. To the extent that a form provided pursuant to this Section 4.7(d)(ii) is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respects as result of change in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender, such Lender or Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent revised forms necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to such Lender’s exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be

132

necessary for the Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 4.7(d)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date.

(e) Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition that would cause the Borrower to make a payment in respect of any Taxes to such Lender pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or a payment in indemnification for any Taxes pursuant to Section 4.7(c), it will use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender with respect to which the aforementioned payment is or would be made through another lending office of such Lender if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid by such the Borrower in respect of such Loans (or portions thereof) or participation in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or Section 4.7(c) would be materially reduced, and if, as determined by such Lender, in its reasonable discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans or participation in Letters of Credit (or portions thereof) through such other lending office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or such Lender. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any Lender in utilizing another lending office of such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.7(e).

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Participant) receives any refund with respect to any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.7, it shall pay over to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Participant) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Participant), agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Participant), together with any interest, penalties and additions to tax, in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Participant) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Participant) to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

192

If any of the foregoing Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, shall take one or more of the following actions (provided that, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (c) above arising solely from a breach of Section 9.1, prior to the earlier of (x) the date that is forty-five (45) days after such Event of Default and (y) the date the Administrative Agent exercises any remedies pursuant to this proviso, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions (x) at the request of the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility rather than the Required Lenders and (y) only with respect to the Revolving Facility): (i) by written or oral or telephonic notice (in the case of oral or telephonic notice confirmed in writing immediately thereafter) to the Borrower declare the Total Commitments to be terminated whereupon the Total Commitments shall forthwith terminate, (ii) by written or oral or telephonic notice (in the case of oral or telephonic notice confirmed in writing immediately thereafter) to the Borrower declare all sums then owing by the Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such sums shall become and be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, (iii) terminate any Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms, (iv) direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f) with respect to the Borrower it will pay) to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office such additional amount of cash, to be held as security by the Administrative Agent, as is equal to the Assigned Dollar Value of the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and then outstanding, and (v) enforce, as the Administrative Agent (to the extent permitted under the applicable Security Documents), or direct the Collateral Agent to enforce pursuant to the Security Documents, as the case may be, all of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Security Documents. In cases of any occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f) with respect to the Borrower (x) the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, shall become due and payable forthwith and (y) following the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, the Total Commitments will be terminated forthwith, in each case, without the requirement of any such acceleration or request, and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, and other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall also become immediately due and payable all without notice of any kind.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) the Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article IV hereof), all payments (including the proceeds of any Asset Disposition or other sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral) received after acceleration of the Obligations shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs and expenses incurred by or owing to the Administrative Agent and any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued

193

on such amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding and to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit (pro rata among all such Obligations based upon the principal amount thereof or the outstanding face amount of such Letters of Credit, as applicable, and with respect to amounts applied to Term Loans, pro rata among all remaining Scheduled Term Repayments thereof). Any balance remaining shall be delivered to the Borrower or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Anything in this Section 10.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, rescind and annul any acceleration of the Loans by written instrument filed with the Borrower; provided that at the time such acceleration is so rescinded and annulled: (A) all past due interest and principal (other than principal due solely as a result of such acceleration), if any, on the Loans and all other sums payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been duly paid, and (B) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing which shall not have been waived in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof. Upon any such rescission and annulment, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrower any cash collateral delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

10.2 Rights Not Exclusive.

The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

In this Article XI, the Lenders agree among themselves as follows:

11.1 Appointment.

The Lenders hereby appoint JPMCB as the Administrative Agent (for the purposes of this Article XI, the term “Administrative Agent” shall, except to the extent otherwise specifically set forth in Section 11.9, include JPMCB in its capacity as the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed to irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions hereof, the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, to give notices and take such actions on behalf of the Required Lenders as are consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) and any other instruments, documents and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The

194

Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

11.2 Nature of Duties.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. EACH LENDER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO SECTION 11.2(b), THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE, BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, A FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP TO OR IN RESPECT OF ANY LENDER. Nothing in any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the credit worthiness of the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. 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 Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Required Lenders have instructed it to act or refrain from acting pursuant to Article X.

(b) The Administrative Agent hereby declares that it, including in its capacity as Collateral Agent, holds and shall hold:

(i) all rights, title and interest that may now or hereafter be mortgaged, charged or assigned or otherwise secured in favor of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent by or pursuant to the Loan Documents governed by English law and all proceeds of enforcement of such security; and

(ii) the benefit of all representations, covenants, guarantees, indemnities and other contractual provisions governed by English law given in favor of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (other than any such benefits given to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent solely for its own benefit), on trust (for which the perpetuity period shall be 80 years) for itself and the other Lenders from time to time.

11.3 Exculpation, Rights Etc.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them

195

hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of any of the Loan Documents or any other document or the financial condition of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any other document or the financial condition of the Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless requested to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals (including the failure to act or approve) which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are requested, the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting, approving or refraining from acting or approving under any of the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or, to the extent required by Section 12.1, all of the Lenders.

11.4 Reliance.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, writing, resolution notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone, telex, teletype, telecopier or electronic message reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining herein or to any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

11.5 Indemnification.

To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent, acting pursuant hereto in such capacity, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.

196

For purposes of this Section 11.5, “Aggregate Pro Rata Share” means, when used with reference to any Lender and any described aggregate or total amount, an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying such desired aggregate or total amount by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and the denominator of which shall be aggregate of all of the Loans outstanding hereunder.

11.6 The Administrative Agent In Its Individual Capacity.

With respect to its Loans and Commitments (and its Pro Rata Share of each Facility thereof), the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or holder of Obligations. The terms “Lenders”, “holder of Obligations” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, one of the Required Lenders or a holder of Obligations. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the acceptance of fees or other consideration for services without having to account for the same to any of the Lenders.

11.7 Notice of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

11.8 Holders of Obligations.

The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Obligation as reflected on the books and records of the Administrative Agent as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.8(c). Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Obligation shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Obligation or of any Obligation or Obligations granted in exchange therefor.

11.9 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

197

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall be satisfactory to the Borrower and shall be an incorporated bank or trust company.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within said fifteen (15) Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, shall then appoint a successor who shall serve as the Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor the Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) by the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. If the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are the same Person (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, JPMCB is the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as of the Tenth Amendment Effective Date) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders, Swing Line Lender or the Facing Agents under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from or a determination by the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 12.1) may, with the consent of the Borrower and by notice to such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed in accordance with this paragraph.

(f) In addition to the foregoing, if (i) a Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, an Impaired Lender, and (ii) the Borrower has failed to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ii), any Facing Agent and/or the Swing Line Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Facing Agent or Swing Line Lender, respectively, effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days after the date of such notice); provided that such resignation by a Facing Agent will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to the Facing Agent; and provided, further, that such resignation by the Swing Line Lender will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Swing Line Loan.

198

(g) Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.9(a) shall, unless the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Borrower otherwise, also constitute its resignation as a Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender, and such resignation as a Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender shall become effective simultaneously with the discharge of the Administrative Agent from its duties and obligations as set forth in Section 11.9(a) (except as to already outstanding Letters of Credit and LC Obligations issued by it and Swing Line Loans made by it, as to which such Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender shall continue in such capacities until the LC Obligations relating thereto shall be reduced to zero and such Swing Line Loans shall have been repaid, as applicable, or until the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the roles of a Facing Agent and the Swing Line Lender in accordance with the next sentence and perform the actions required by the next sentence). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, unless the retiring Administrative Agent and such successor gives notice to Borrower otherwise, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Facing Agent and Swing Line Lender and (ii) the successor Facing Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession and issued by the retiring Facing Agent or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Facing Agent to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Facing Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. At the time any such resignation of a Facing Agent shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring Facing Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(e).

(h) Notwithstanding the resignation of DB as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Resigning Agent”) as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and each Lender agree that the provisions of this Article XI and any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document regarding payment of costs and expenses and indemnification of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, together with any provision of any Loan Document that shall accrue to the benefit of any retiring or resigning Agent, shall continue to inure to the benefit of the Resigning Agent on and following the Fifth Amendment Effective Date with respect to actions of the Resigning Agent taken (i) on or prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) subsequent to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the Loan Documents or that certain Successor Agency Agreement, dated as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, by and among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Resigning Agent and the Borrower. DB shall be a third party beneficiary for purposes of this Section 11.9(h).

11.10 Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as UK Security Trustee.

(a) In this Agreement, any rights and remedies exercisable by, any documents to be delivered to, or any other indemnities or obligations in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be, as the case may be, exercisable by, delivered to, or be indemnities or other obligations in favor of, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in its capacity as the UK Security Trustee to the extent that the rights, deliveries, indemnities or other obligations relate to the UK Security Documents or the security thereby created. Any obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in this Agreement shall be obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as UK Security Trustee to the extent that the obligations relate to the UK Security Documents or the security thereby created.

199

Additionally, in its capacity as UK Security Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) shall have (i) all the rights, remedies and benefits in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent contained in the provisions of the whole of this Section 11.10; (ii) all the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by the UK Security Documents and (iii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted to it and be subject to all the obligations and duties owed by it under the UK Security Documents and/or any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby appoint the UK Security Trustee to act as its trustee under and in relation to the UK Security Documents and to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as trustee for itself and other Secured Parties on the trusts and other terms contained in the UK Security Documents and the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorize the UK Security Trustee to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the UK Security Trustee by the terms of the UK Security Documents together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c) Any reference in this Agreement to Liens stated to be in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be construed so as to include a reference to Liens granted in favor of the UK Security Trustee.

(d) The Lenders agree that at any time that the UK Security Trustee shall be a Person other than the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, such other Person shall have the rights, remedies, benefits and powers granted to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as the UK Security Trustee in this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Section 11.10 shall require the UK Security Trustee to act as a trustee at common law or to be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the United States or the United Kingdom which may not operate under principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.

11.11 The Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of “Agents” as provided for under Section 11.5.

in full immediately prior to the amendment) shall approve such increase, (c) the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for Eurocurrency Loans and the Applicable Base Rate Margin for Base Rate Loans for the Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than such applicable margins for the relevant Term Facility of Refinanced Term Loans unless the Required Lenders (treating the Refinanced Term Loans of any Lender that does not provide Replacement Term Loans as having been paid in full immediately prior to the amendment) shall approve such increase, (d) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such amendment and (e) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such amendment unless the Required Lenders (treating the Refinanced Term Loans of any Lender that does not provide Replacement Term Loans as having been paid in full immediately prior to the amendment) shall approve such terms.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Administrative Agent to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) in connection with an Additional Term Loan, this Agreement shall be deemed amended without further action by any Lender to reflect, as applicable, the new Lenders and the terms of such Additional Term Loan.

COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

12.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

(a) Generally. The Borrower agrees (without duplication) to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, printing, typing, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver, consent relating hereto or thereto or other modifications of (or supplements to) any of the foregoing and any and all other documents and instruments furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Shearman & Sterling LLP, special counsel to the Administrative Agent and the UK Security Trustee, and any local counsel retained by the Administrative Agent relative thereto or the reasonable allocated costs of staff counsel as well as the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel, independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or the UK Security Trustee in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all search fees, appraisal fees and expenses, title insurance policy fees, costs and expenses and filing and recording fees and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Attorney Costs), if any, of the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all present and future stamp, documentary transfer, excise, property, and other similar taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement, any Loan Document, or otherwise with respect to or in connection with any Loan Document, or the making of any Loan (other than taxes based on the net income of the Lenders), and agrees to save and hold the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay by the Borrower in paying, or omission by the Borrower to pay, such taxes. Any portion of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses which remains unpaid more than thirty (30) days following the Administrative Agent’s, the UK Security Trustee’s, any Agents’ or any Lender’s statement and request for payment thereof shall bear interest from the date that the Borrower receives such statement and request to the date of payment, for the first 10 days at the Base Rate, and thereafter at the Default Rate. Subject to Section 4.7, the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee, each Agent and each Lender and each director, officer, employee, partner, advisor, agent, attorney, trustee and Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee, each Agent and each Lender (each such Person an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), expenses or liabilities which arise out of, in any way relate to, or result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and to reimburse each Indemnified Party upon their demand, for any Attorney Costs incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or claim; provided, however, (a) that no

205

Indemnified Party shall have the right to be so indemnified hereunder for any loss, claim, damage, penalties, obligations, expense or liability to the extent it arises or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnified Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) that nothing contained herein shall affect the obligations and liabilities of the Lenders to the Borrower contained herein. If any action, suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee, any Agent, any Lender or any other Indemnified Party, the Borrower will, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee, any Agent, any Lender or any such Indemnified Party, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified. Each Indemnified Party shall, unless the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee, an Agent, a Lender or other Indemnified Party has made the request described in the preceding sentence and such request has been complied with, have the right to employ its own counsel (or (but not as well as) staff counsel) to investigate and control the defense of any matter covered by such indemnity and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. Excluding any liability to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Indemnified Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from all loss, cost (including Attorney Costs), liability and damage whatsoever incurred by any Indemnified Party by reason of any violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or for the Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants into the environment for which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any liability or which occurs upon the Mortgaged Property or which is related to any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or by reason of the imposition of any Environmental Lien in respect of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or which occurs by a breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants relating to environmental matters contained herein, provided that, with respect to any liabilities arising from acts or failure to act for which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is strictly liable under any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, the Borrower’s obligation to each Indemnified Party under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary. If the Borrower shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty on the part of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose, and will use its best efforts to give prompt written notice to the Borrower that it proposes to take such action. Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be repaid to it by the Borrower promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, with interest at the Default Rate in effect from time to time during the period including the date so expended by the Administrative Agent to the date of repayment. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the UK Security Trustee or any Lender as set forth in this Section 12.4 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 12.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the assignment by any Lender of all or any part of its Credit Exposure hereunder and the discharge

206

of the Borrower’s other Obligations hereunder. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, no party hereto shall be entitled to recover from any other party hereto any amount in respect of exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, remote, or speculative damages, including lost profits.

(b) Foreign Exchange Indemnity. If any sum due from the Borrower under this Agreement or any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable hereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower with any Governmental Authority or in any court or tribunal, or (ii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such sum is due from and against any loss actually suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used to convert the amount in question from the first currency into the second currency, and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Person, acting in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner, purchased the first currency with the second currency after receipt of a sum paid to it in the second currency in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of the Borrower distinct from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such other obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of principal and interest on Loans denominated in Euros, Sterling or an Alternative Currency, as the case may be, shall be made in Euros, Sterling or such Alternative Currency, as the case may be.

(c) Notwithstanding the resignation of the Resigning Agent as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 12.4 and any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document regarding payment of costs and expenses and indemnification of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, together with any provision of any Loan Document that shall accrue to the benefit of any retiring or resigning Agent, shall continue to inure to the benefit of the Resigning Agent on and following the Fifth Amendment Effective Date with respect to actions of the Resigning Agent taken (i) on or prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) subsequent to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the Loan Documents or that certain Successor Agency Agreement, dated as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, by and among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Resigning Agent and the Borrower. DB shall be a third party beneficiary for purposes of this Section 12.4(c).

12.5 Confirmations.

Each of the Borrower and each holder of any portion of the Obligations agrees from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan or Loans and other Obligations then outstanding.

207

12.6 Adjustment; Setoff.

(a) If any lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f) hereof, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or interest thereon not expressly provided hereby, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each Lender except to the extent expressly provided hereby; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the Benefited Lender from which such excess payment is recovered is required by court order to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender returning funds to such Benefited Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to setoff and apply against any Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, of the Borrower to such Lender, any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrower, at or at any time after, the happening of any of the above-mentioned events, and the aforesaid right of setoff may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against, the Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of setoff shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c) The Borrower expressly agrees that to the extent the Borrower makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Indebtedness to the Lenders or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.

208

12.7 Execution in Counterparts.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

12.8 Binding Effect; Assignment; Addition and Substitution of Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Resigning Agent, the Lenders, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Commitment and Loans or participation in Letters of Credit or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (in respect of any Lender, its “Credit Exposure”). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. At the time of the sale of a participating interest, the Lender transferring the interest (i) shall cause the Participant to provide the forms required under Section 4.7(d) as if such Participant became a Lender on the date of the sale and (ii) shall, if required under applicable law, deliver revised forms in accordance Section 4.7(d) reflecting the portion of the interest sold and the portion of the interest retained. Further, the Participant shall be subject to the obligations of Section 3.6 and Section 4.7 as if such Participant was a Lender. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such

209

right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in Section 12.6. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.6 and Section 4.7 with respect to its participation in the Loans outstanding from time to time, as if such Participant becomes a Lender on the date it acquired an interest pursuant to this Section 12.8(b); provided that, no participation shall be made to any Person under this section if, at the time of such participation, the Participant’s benefits under Section 3.6 or Section 4.7 would be greater than the benefits that the participating Lender was entitled to under Section 3.6 or Section 4.7 (and if any participation is made in violation of the foregoing, the Participant will not be entitled to the incremental amounts). Each Lender agrees that any agreement between such Lender and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Lender’s right to approve or agree to any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to, waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except to the extent that any of the foregoing would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such Participant is participating (it being understood that amending the definition of any Scheduled Non-Extended Term B Dollar Repayments (other than the Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date) shall not constitute an extension of the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note) or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit in which such Participant is participating beyond the Revolver Termination Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees on any such Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, representations, warranties, Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans and/or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such Participant is participating.

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, including an Affiliate thereof (each an “Assignee”), all or any part of its Credit Exposure pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that any assignment of all or any portion of any Lender’s Credit Exposure to an Assignee other than an Affiliate of such Lender or another Lender, or in the case of a Lender that is a Fund, any Related Fund of any Lender (i) shall be an assignment of its Credit Exposure in an amount not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 (treating any Fund and its Related Funds as a single Eligible Assignee) (or if less the entire amount of Lender’s Credit Exposure with respect to such Facility, provided, that, if such Lender and its Affiliates (or in the case of a Fund and its Related Funds) collectively hold Credit Exposure at least equal to such minimum amounts, any one or more of such Affiliates and/or Related Funds must simultaneously assign Credit Exposure such that the aggregate Credit Exposure assigned satisfies such minimum amount) and (ii) shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and, other than with respect to assignments by the Joint Lead Arrangers, and their Affiliates during the primary syndication of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default then exists and is

210

continuing, the Borrower (the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, any Lender may at any time assign all or any part of its Credit Exposure to any Affiliate of such Lender or to any other Lender (or in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, to any Related Fund of such Lender), except that no Revolving Lender may assign all or any part of its Credit Exposure relating to the Revolving Facility to any Person other than another Revolving Lender without the prior written consent (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, each Facing Agent, the Swing Line Lender and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower. Upon execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the payment of a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that no such fee shall be payable upon assignments by any Lender which is a Fund to one or more Related Funds and only one such fee shall be payable for contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to Related Funds) in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Office in connection with each such assignment, written notice thereof by such transferor Lender to the Administrative Agent and the recording by the Administrative Agent of such assignment and the resulting effect upon the Loans, Revolving Commitment of the assigning Lender and the Assignee, the Assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder and the holder of the Obligations (provided that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assignor Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to the Assignee until written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by the assignor Lender and the Assignee) and, if the Assignee has expressly assumed, for the benefit of the Borrower, some or all of the transferor Lender’s obligations hereunder, such transferor Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and assumption, and except as described above, no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent shall be required. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.8(c) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective Assignee shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate forms and certificates as provided in Section 4.7(d), if applicable. Each Assignee shall take such Credit Exposure subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder, prior to the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of written notice of such transfer, by each previous holder of such Credit Exposure. Such Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement and Schedule 1.1(a) hereto, to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee as a Lender and the resulting adjustment of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement, the Maximum Commitment, the determination of its Pro Rata Share (rounded to twelve decimal places), the Loans, any outstanding Letters of Credit and any new Notes, if requested, to be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such Assignee, and no further consent or action by the Borrower or the Lenders shall be required to effect such amendments. No assignment by any Lender of all or any part of its Credit Exposure may be made to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower except as permitted under Section 4.3(c) or Section 12.8(g).

(d) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and any Subsidiary of the Borrower which

211

has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement, provided that, such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to treat any such information which is not public as confidential in accordance with the terms of Section 12.14 hereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to, or the consent of, the Borrower, provided that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest under this Section 12.8(e) shall release a Lender from any obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee or its security holders in support of its obligations to its trustee. No such pledge or assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(f) In the event that the holder of any Note (including any Lender) shall transfer such Note, it shall immediately advise Administrative Agent and Borrower of such transfer, and Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no transfer of any Note has been made by any holder (including any Lender) unless and until Administrative Agent and Borrower shall have received written notice to the contrary. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by all of the other parties hereto, no Lender shall, by reason of the transfer of a Note or otherwise, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. Each transferee of any Note shall take such Note subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent and Borrower of written notice of such transfer, by each previous holder of such Note, and, except as expressly otherwise provided in such transfer, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be entitled conclusively to assume that the transferee named in such notice shall hereafter be vested with all rights and powers under this Agreement with respect to the Pro Rata Share of the Loans of the Lender named as the payee of the Note which is the subject of such transfer.

(g) Any Lender may, so long as (x) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) no proceeds of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans are used for this purpose, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement (i) to the Borrower through Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 4.3(c) or (ii) notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through open-market purchases on a non-pro rata basis; provided, that: (1) if the assignee is a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (2) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (1)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such

212

Each of the Lenders severally agrees to keep confidential all non-public information pertaining to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors in interest which is provided to it by any such parties in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in a prudent fashion, and shall not disclose such information to any Person except (i) to the extent such information is public when received by such Lender or becomes public thereafter due to the act or omission of any party other than a Lender, (ii) to the extent such information is independently obtained from a source other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and such information from such source is not, to such Lender’s knowledge, subject to an obligation of confidentiality or, if such information is subject to an obligation of confidentiality, that disclosure of such information is permitted, (iii) to an Affiliate of such Lender (or its investment advisor), counsel, auditors, ratings agencies, examiners of any regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Lender, accountants and other consultants retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or to any Affiliate of a Lender which is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements with the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14) or to the

214

National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with rating issued with respect to such Lender, (iv) in connection with any litigation or the enforcement of the rights of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) to the extent (x) required by any applicable statute, rule or regulation or court order (including, without limitation, by way of subpoena) or pursuant to the request of any Governmental Authority having or asserting jurisdiction over any Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective affiliates; provided, however, that in such event, if the Lender(s) are not legally prohibited from doing so, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with prompt notice of such requested disclosure so that the Borrower may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and, in any event, the Lenders will endeavor in good faith to provide only that portion of such information which, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender(s), is relevant and legally required to be provided (y) requested by any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with rating issued with respect to such Lender or (z) requested by any pledgee referred to in Section 12.8(e) or a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements with a Lender or a Person that such Lender is a direct or indirect counterparty in a swap agreement or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such pledgee or contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14) or (vi) to the extent disclosure to other entities is appropriate in connection with any proposed or actual assignment or grant of a participation by any of the Lenders of interests in this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents to such other entities (who will in turn be required to maintain confidentiality as if they were Lenders parties to this Agreement). In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any such information or other materials furnished by the Borrower.

12.15 Concerning the Collateral and the Loan Documents.

(a) Authority. Each Lender authorizes and directs JPMCB and/or its designated affiliate to act as Collateral Agent under the Collateral Security Agreement and or UK Security Trustee under the UK Security Documents and to enter into the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Collateral Security Agreement) for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms hereof, a different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the UK Security Trustee or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such different proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral; (ii) execute and deliver each Loan Document relating to the Collateral and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) act as Collateral Agent for the Lenders and certain other Secured Parties for purposes stated in the Security Documents to

215

the extent such perfection is required under the Loan Documents, provided, however, the Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective deposit accounts maintained with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender; (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral; (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents, and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

(b) Release of Collateral.

(i) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby direct the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee, as the case may be, to release, in accordance with the terms hereof, any Lien held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (and in the case of a sale, transfer or disposition of all of the assets or Capital Stock of a Subsidiary under clause (B) below, to release the affected Subsidiary from its guaranty):

(A) against all of the Collateral, upon final and indefeasible payment in full of the Loans and Obligations and termination hereof;

(B) against any part of the Collateral sold, transferred or disposed of by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such sale, transfer or disposition is permitted hereby (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited hereby);

(C) against any Collateral acquired by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and at least 70% of the purchase price therefor is within 120 days of the acquisition thereof financed with Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted by Section 8.1(c);

(D) so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent upon the request of the Borrower, against any part of the Collateral with a fair market value of less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement as such fair market value may be certified to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee by the Borrower in an officer’s certificate acceptable in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee;

(E) against a part of the Collateral which release does not require the consent of all of the Lenders as set forth in Section 12.1(a)(ii), if such release is consented to by the Required Lenders;

216

(F) against the Collateral consisting of Receivables Facility Assets upon the entry by the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries into a Permitted Accounts Receivables Securitization; provided, however, that (y) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the UK Security Trustee shall be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its opinion, would expose it to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (z) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral; and

(G) against any cash collateral securing LC Obligations as contemplated by Section 5.4 and Article IX, upon the written request of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Facing Agent, as the case may be, if at the time of the release of the Lien the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, on a Pro Forma Basis, for the Test Period for the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter was not in excess of 3.75 to 1.00.

(ii) Each of the Lenders hereby directs the Administrative Agent to (or to cause the Administrative Agent to) execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 12.15 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release or enter into intercreditor agreements contemplated or permitted herein.

(c) No Obligation. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the UK Security Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee herein or pursuant to the Loan Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the UK Security Trustee’s own interests in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor the UK Security Trustee shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security Trustee shall be responsible for their respective grossly negligent actions or actions constituting intentional misconduct.

(d) Senior Secured Note Liens. Each Lender hereby instructs Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Security Agreement and the

217

Intercreditor Agreement and the UK Security Trustee to enter into the UK Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and such amendments or modifications thereto and to the other Security Documents consistent herewith and as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or the UK Security Trustee reasonably determines to be necessary to cause the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations (other than the Capital Stock Collateral) to be pari passu with the Liens on the Senior Secured Note Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). Each Lender agrees that it shall not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of this Section 12.15(d) or any corresponding provisions with respect thereto in the Collateral Security Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement.

12.16 Intentionally Omitted.

12.17 Registry.

The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.17 to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.8(c). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount then owing to such assignor or transferor Lender shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.17.

12.18 Accounts Receivable Securitization.

(a) By its execution of this Agreement, each Lender agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of interests in trade receivables under the Permitted Accounts Receivables Securitization not to:

(i) challenge the “true sale” characterization of the sales and transfers of Accounts Receivables by the Borrower or any Participating Subsidiary to a

218

Receivables Subsidiary pursuant to a Permitted Accounts Receivables Securitization;

(ii) join in any proceeding in whole or in part to commence or consent to the commencement of a case against a Receivables Subsidiary under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar federal or state law or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of a Receivables Subsidiary or any substantial part of its assets; or

(iii) assert or consent to any attempt by any person to assert that a Receivables Subsidiary should be substantively consolidated with the Borrower or any other Subsidiary.

(b) By its execution of this Agreement, each Lender further authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the UK Security trustee, in each case, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, to enter into an intercreditor agreement with the Persons providing a Permitted Accounts Receivables Securitization as long as the provisions of any such agreement are not materially more burdensome to the Lenders than are typical for like receivables transactions.

12.19 Certain Guarantee Obligations.

The Borrower hereby guarantees all obligations of each of its Subsidiaries (for so long as such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary) under all Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements entered into by such Subsidiary with any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender (even if such Person subsequently ceases to be a Lender hereunder for any reason), which obligations are pursuant to the terms of such Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements expressly secured by the security interests granted under the Collateral Security Agreement. The provisions of Sections 4 through 9 of the Subsidiary Guaranty are hereby incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis as if all references to “Guarantor” and “Guaranteed Obligations” were references to the Borrower and the obligations guaranteed by this Section 12.19, respectively.

12.20 Redesignation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Any Unrestricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as a Subsidiary provided that (i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (not less than 30 days prior to the date the Borrower desires such redesignation to be effective) a notice signed by a Responsible Financial Officer identifying the Unrestricted Subsidiary to be so redesignated and providing such other information as the Administrative Agent may request, (ii) immediately before and immediately after the effectiveness of such redesignation, no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists or will exist (including, without limitation, the permissibility of any Investment, Indebtedness, Liens or other obligations existing at such Subsidiary) and, if the Unrestricted Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the

219

provisions of Section 8.7(m) as if the designation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary were an Acquisition, (iii) Borrower has complied, to the extent applicable, with the provisions of Section 7.11 and the applicable Subsidiary, on the effective date of such redesignation is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all applicable Security Documents, (iv) such Unrestricted Subsidiary is the subsidiary of either the Borrower or a Subsidiary, (v) the Administrative Agent has received such other documents (including without limitation any additional security documents whether or not required by Section 7.11), instruments and opinions as it may reasonably request in connection with such redesignation, and all such instruments, documents and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and (vi) on the desired effective date of such redesignation, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate from a Responsible Officer confirming clauses (ii) through (v) above and that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on the date of, and after giving effect to, such redesignation as though made on such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are expressly made of a specified date in which event they shall be true as of such date). Effective at the time of delivery of the certificate required pursuant to clause (vi) above, the Unrestricted Subsidiary Investment Basket shall be increased by (A) if such Unrestricted Subsidiary was so designated after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the fair market value of such Subsidiary or (B) if such Unrestricted Subsidiary was so designated on the Third Amendment Effective Date, the lesser of (y) the aggregate amount of outstanding Investments made after the Third Amendment Effective Date by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary or (z) the fair market value of such Unrestricted Subsidiary immediately prior to the effective date of such redesignation. The Borrower agrees that any merger or consolidation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary with or into Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be required to satisfy the conditions of this Section 12.20 prior to completing any such transaction.

12.21 Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as Joint Creditors.

Each of the Credit Parties and each Lender and Agent and the Collateral Agent agrees that each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be a joint and several creditor (in Dutch: hoofdelijk schuldeiser) (together with the relevant Lender or Agent) of the Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations owed to each Lender or Agent under or in connection with all Loan Documents and that accordingly each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent will have its own independent right to demand payment and performance by the obligors of such obligations. However, any discharge of a Credit Party of any such obligation to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other relevant Lender, Agent or creditor referred to above, shall, to the same extent, discharge such Credit Party vis-à-vis the others in respect of such obligation, and a Lender, Agent and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not by virtue of this Section be entitled to pursue a Credit Party concurrently for the same obligation.

12.22 Amendment With Respect to Revolver Events of Default.

No amendment, modification or waiver of Section 9.1, any of the financial definitions used in determining compliance with Section 9.1 or this Section 12.22 or waiver of

220

any Revolver Event of Default, may be effected without the consent of the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility.

12.23 Term C Dollar Lenders.

Each Term C Dollar Lender agrees that upon the earlier to occur of (x) the Non-Extended Term B Loan Maturity Date and (y) the date that all Non-Extended Term B Dollar Loans are prepaid or repaid in full (for any reason) (such earlier date, the “Determination Date”):

(a) Without limitation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or any provisions thereof, the Borrower shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time to refinance or replace all of the Facilities outstanding immediately prior to the Determination Date under this Agreement (other than the Term C Dollar Facility) (collectively, the “Refinanced Facility Debt”) pursuant to separate credit documentation. In connection therewith:

(i) all collateral, guarantees and other credit support that secures, guarantees or otherwise supports the Term C Dollar Facility pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Documents) shall be available (on a pari passu basis in payment and lien priority, and in any event on the same basis as the Facilities are afforded under the Loan Documents as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date) to secure, guarantee or otherwise support any and all such Refinanced Facility Debt, together with any other senior secured indebtedness of the Borrower (including, without limitation, one or more revolving and/or term credit facilities), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (A) the principal amount of Refinanced Facility Debt outstanding on the Determination Date (or its equivalent in any other currency) and (B) $2,100,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) (such greater amount, the “Minimum Floor Amount”), as the Minimum Floor Amount may be reduced after the Determination Date pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness”; and

(ii) the Loan Documents shall be amended and other documents and agreements will be entered into (such amendments, documents and agreements solely requiring the signatures of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to be effective) in order to effectuate the foregoing and to make any necessary conforming changes.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.4(c)(i), no prepayment of proceeds from a Recovery Event shall be required pursuant to such Section to the extent that (x) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists and (y) the Borrower delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that an amount equal to the proceeds of such Recovery Event is expected to be used to purchase assets used or to be used in the businesses referred to in Section 8.9 within 360 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); provided that (1) if all or any portion of such proceeds not so applied to such prepayment are not so used (or contractually committed to be used) within such 360 day period

221

as provided above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of the period or such earlier date as the Borrower is obligated to make an offer to purchase Senior Secured Notes (2010) due to such Recovery Event as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Loans as provided in Section 4.4(c)(i) and (2) if all or any portion of such proceeds result from a Recovery Event involving Collateral owned by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than the Capital Stock of a Foreign Subsidiary), then such proceeds shall be required to be reinvested in assets located in the United States constituting Collateral (to the extent not used to repay Loans pursuant to Section 4.4(c)(i)).

(c) Article IX shall no longer apply for any purpose under this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purposes of Section 2.1(a)(ii), Section 7.2(b), Section 8.7(j) and Section 8.7(m)).

(d) “Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness” shall mean, with respect to any Indebtedness, any Indebtedness refinancing, extending, renewing or refunding such Indebtedness; provided, however, that any such refinancing Indebtedness shall (i) be issued by the same obligor as the Indebtedness being so refinanced (or by Huntsman Corporation or a Parent Company) and be on terms, taken as a whole, not more restrictive than the terms of the documents governing the Indebtedness being so refinanced; (ii) if the Indebtedness being so refinanced is subordinated to the Obligations, be subordinated to the Obligations on substantially the same terms (or on terms at least as favorable to the Lenders) as Indebtedness being so refinanced; (iii) be in a principal amount (as determined as of the date of the incurrence of such refinancing Indebtedness in accordance with GAAP) not exceeding the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced on such date plus any call premiums, prepayment fees, costs and expenses paid in connection with such refinancing; (iv) not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity less than the Indebtedness being refinanced; (v) if the Indebtedness being refinanced is Public Notes, be unsecured Indebtedness maturing no earlier than the then latest Term Maturity Date; and (vi) be upon terms and subject to documentation which is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding clauses (ii) and (v) above, after the Determination Date, any such Indebtedness refinancing, extending, renewing or refunding the Senior Subordinated Notes (2013), the Senior Subordinated Notes (2014), the Senior Subordinated Notes (2015), any similar senior subordinated notes, any senior unsecured notes and any senior secured notes may be senior second-lien notes, senior unsecured notes and, to the extent capacity exists pursuant to the Minimum Floor Amount, senior first-lien secured notes (provided that the Minimum Floor Amount shall be reduced after the Determination Date by the aggregate principal amount of any senior first-lien secured Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this sentence, unless such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness refinances, extends, renews or refunds senior first-lien secured Indebtedness).
