The Company may at any time and from time to time prepay Floating Rate Loans, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, upon at least one Business Day’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent specifying the date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayment of Floating Rate Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof, or such lesser principal amount as may equal the outstanding Floating Rate Loans to a Borrower or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent.

2.6.2. Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay, without premium or penalty (but together with payment of any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.4), its Fixed Rate Loans in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of prepayments by the Company and prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, in the case of

prepayments by any other Borrower) specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Partial payments of Fixed Rate Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of 5,000,000 units in the applicable Agreed Currency or in an integral multiple of 1,000,000 units in excess thereof, or such lesser principal amount as may equal the outstanding Fixed Rate Loans to a Borrower or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent.

2.6.3. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.6 and each conversion pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and any amounts payable under Section 3.4 in connection with such payment.

2.6.4. Prepayments by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be applied first to any Floating Rate Loans of such Borrower and second to any Fixed Rate Loans of such Borrower then outstanding in such order as such Borrower may direct, provided that all prepayments on any Loans to a Borrower shall be applied pro rata to the Loans owing by such Borrower.

2.6.5. All amounts prepaid may be reborrowed and successively repaid and reborrowed, subject to the other terms and conditions in this Agreement.

2.7. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances.

2.7.1. U.S. Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the applicable Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance either continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted into a Floating Rate Advance. Subject to the terms hereof, the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type to the Company into any other Type or Types of Advance; provided that any conversion of any Eurodollar Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least one Business Day, in the case of a conversion into a Floating Rate Advance, or three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(a) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,

(b) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and

(c) the amounts and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.7.2. Eurocurrency Advances. Any Eurocurrency Advances may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the relevant Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of continuations by the Company or the Canadian Borrower and prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, in the

case of continuations by any other Borrower) of such election and specifying the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, provided, that if the relevant Borrower shall fail to give such notice, such Eurocurrency Advance shall be automatically continued for an Interest Period of one month, provided, further, that if such continuation would extend the Interest Period beyond the Facility Termination Date then such continuation shall not be permitted and such Eurocurrency Advance shall be due at the end of the then applicable Interest Period.

2.8. Interest Rates, Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.

(a) Each Floating Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made or is converted from a Fixed Rate Loan into a Floating Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period. Each Eurocurrency Loan to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate determined for such Interest Period or at such other interest rate as agreed to by all Lenders.

(b) Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period.

(c) Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, except as otherwise provided in the definition of Interest Period, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

(d) All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days, except for (i) interest on Floating Rate Loans which shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365 day year, or 366 days in a leap year, (ii) interest on Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling which shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365 day year or unless otherwise specified herein and (iii) interest on Loans denominated in any other Foreign Currency for which it is required by applicable law or customary to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 days or, if required by applicable law or customary, 366 days in a leap year, shall be computed on such basis.

(e) Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Fixed Rate Advance. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.

(f) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the Applicable Margin based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(g) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any holder of Obligations in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that holder of Obligations of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that holder of Obligations of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

2.10. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued (after the expiration of the then current Interest Period) as a Fixed Rate Advance, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any outstanding Eurocurrency Advance may be continued for an Interest Period not to exceed one month after such notice to the Borrowers by the Required Lenders. Upon and during the continuance of any Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Company (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders as to changes and interest rates) declare that (i) each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period (with the Applicable Margin automatically adjusted to the highest amount provided in the definition of Applicable Margin, notwithstanding where the Applicable Margin would otherwise be set) plus 2% per annum, and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance and any other amount due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to Floating Rate Loans plus 2% per annum, provided that, upon and during the continuance of any acceleration for any reason of any of the Obligations, the interest rate set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be applicable to all Advances without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.10. Pro Rata Payment, Method of Payment.

2.10.1. Each borrowing of Loans by the Company from the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Pro Rata Shares of such Lenders in effect on the date of such borrowing. Each payment by the Company on account of any facility fee shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent

among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders pro rata according to the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders with respect thereto. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each optional prepayment by the Company on account of principal or interest on its Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company hereunder in respect of amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in Same Day Funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Company, by 12:00 p.m., New York City time on the date when due. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of any Borrower maintained with JPMCB or any of its Affiliates for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.10.2. Each borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans by any Borrower shall be made pro rata according to the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders in effect on the date of such Loans. Except as provided in this Agreement, each payment (including each prepayment) by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower on account of principal of and interest on its Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective principal amounts of the Loans then due and owing by such Borrower. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower on account of Loans, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim in the currency of such Loan (in Same Day Funds) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the payment office for such Loans specified from time to time by the Administrative Agent by notice to the Borrowers prior to 12:00 p.m. local time at such payment office on the due date thereof. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of any Borrower maintained with JPMCB or any of its Affiliates for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.11. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably and in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all requests for Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency (other than from the Canadian Borrower) or any continuation of such Loans, or conversion thereto, shall be in writing unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent.

2.12. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each

Commitment reduction notice, borrowing notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.13. Lending Installations. Each Lender may make and book its Loans at any Lending Installation(s) selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation(s) from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation(s) and the Notes, if any, shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation(s). Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, designate one or more Lending Installations which are to make and book Loans and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.14. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first five days and the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan for each day thereafter or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.15. Facility Letters of Credit.

2.15.1. Obligation to Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers herein set forth, the Issuers hereby agree to issue for the account of a Borrower through such of the Issuer’s Lending Installations or Affiliates as the Issuer may determine, one or more Facility Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.15, from time to time during the period, commencing on the Effective Date and ending five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date. All Existing Facility Letters of Credit shall be deemed issued hereunder on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Facility Letter of Credit (i) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement, (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuer from issuing such Facility Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law relating to the Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Facility Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuer with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it, or (iii) if the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuer applicable to

letters of credit generally; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in the implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed not to be in effect on the Effective Date for purposes of clause (ii) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

2.15.2. Conditions for Issuance. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the obligation of an Issuer to issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(a) the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Facility Letters of Credit issued by the Issuers, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall not exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon the Issuer;

(b) the requested Facility Letter of Credit has an expiration date not later than one year after the date of issuance (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension);

(c) after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Facility Letters of Credit issued by the Issuers, shall not exceed the amount permitted by Section 2.1(b), and no prepayment would be required under this Agreement and no provision of this Agreement would be breached;

(d) the applicable Borrower shall have delivered to the applicable Issuer at such times and in such manner as such Issuer may reasonably prescribe such documents and materials as may be required pursuant to the terms of the proposed Facility Letter of Credit and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuer as to form and content; and

(e) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any Court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing the Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to such Issuer and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit or request that such Issuer refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of that Facility Letter of Credit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuer shall be obligated to issue or modify any Facility Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Facility LC Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such Issuer’s Issuer Sublimit. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that a Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuer issue Letters of Credit in excess of its individual Issuer Sublimit in effect at the time of such request, and each Issuer agrees to consider any such request in good faith. Any Facility Letter of Credit so issued by an Issuer in excess of its individual Issuer Sublimit then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Facility Letter of Credit for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and shall not affect the Issuer Sublimit of any other Issuer, subject to the limitations on the aggregate Facility LC Exposure set forth in Section 2.1(b).

2.15.3. Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit. (a) The applicable Borrower shall give one of the Issuers and the Administrative Agent three Business Days’ prior written notice of

any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement (except that, in lieu of such written notice, a Borrower may give an Issuer (i) notice of such request by facsimile or other electronic means acceptable to such Issuer or (ii) telephonic notice of such request if confirmed in writing by delivery to such Issuer (A) immediately of a facsimile or other electronic means acceptable to such Issuer of the written notice required hereunder which has been signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower and (B) promptly (but in no event later than the requested time of issuance) of a copy of the written notice required hereunder containing the original signature of an Authorized Officer of such Borrower); such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the stated amount and Agreed Currency of the Facility Letter of Credit requested, (which requested currency shall be limited to the currency in which such Borrower may obtain Loans under this Agreement), the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit, the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day and shall in no event be later than the fifth day prior to Facility Termination Date, unless such Facility Letter of Credit is cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.15.7), the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to each applicable Lender of the issuance of each Facility Letter of Credit reasonably promptly after such Facility Letter of Credit is issued. At the time such request is made, the requesting Borrower shall also provide the applicable Issuer with a copy of the form of the Facility Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuer not later than 2:00 p.m. (local time) or the time agreed upon by such Issuer and such Borrower on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section 2.15.3.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.15.3 and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof have been satisfied, the Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the applicable Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(c) The Issuers shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2.15 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

2.15.4. Reimbursement Obligations. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuer under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower, the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against the Issuer or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

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

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility 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) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.

(b) The Issuer shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit. Such Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuer for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by it on behalf of such Borrower promptly after the payment by the Issuer. Any Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawings under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at (i) in the case of such Obligations denominated in U.S. Dollars, the interest rate for Floating Rate Loans or (ii) in the case of such Obligations denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency, at the correlative floating rate of interest customarily applicable to similar extensions of credit to corporate borrowers denominated in such currency in the country of issue of such currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent. In addition to its other rights, the Issuers shall also have all rights for indemnification and reimbursement as each Lender is entitled under this Agreement.

2.15.5. Participation. (a) Immediately upon issuance by an Issuer of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.3, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the applicable Borrower with respect thereto) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided, that a Facility Letter of Credit issued by an Issuer shall not be deemed to be a Facility Letter of Credit for purposes of this Section 2.15.5 if such Issuer shall have received written notice from any Lender on or before one Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions contained in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 are not then satisfied, and, in the event an Issuer receives such a notice, it shall have no further obligation to issue any Facility Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by that Lender or such condition has been effectively waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that an Issuer makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.15.4, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender participating in such Facility Letter of Credit of such failure, and each Lender participating in such Facility Letter of Credit shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment in such currency. If any Lender participating in such Facility Letter of Credit fails to make available to such Issuer any amounts due to such Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.15.5(b), such Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount, together with interest thereon (i) in the case of amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, for the first three Business Days after such Lender receives such notice and thereafter, at the Floating Rate, or (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency, at a local cost of funds rate for obligations in such currency as determined by the Administrative Agent for the first three Business Days after such Lender receives such notice, and thereafter at the floating rate of interest correlative to the Floating Rate customarily applicable to similar extensions of credit to corporate borrowers denominated in such currency in the country of issue of such currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in either case payable (i) on demand, (ii) by setoff against any payments made to such Issuer for the account of such Lender or (iii) by payment to such Issuer by the Administrative Agent

of amounts otherwise payable to such Lender under this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.

(c) Whenever the Issuer receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, it shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in like funds as received an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.

(d) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

(e) In the event any payment by a Borrower received by the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, contribute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

2.15.6. Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.

(a) The Issuer of a Facility Letter of Credit shall have the right to receive from the Borrower which requested issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, solely for the account of such Issuer, a fronting fee in an amount agreed upon with the applicable Issuer as well as the Issuer’s reasonable and customary costs of issuing and servicing the Facility Letters of Credit.

(b) In addition, such Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender participating in such Facility Letter of Credit a non-refundable fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin applied to the face amount of the Facility Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears to all Lenders participating in such Facility Letter of Credit (including the Issuers) ratably from the date such Facility Letter of Credit is issued until its stated expiry date.

2.15.7. Letter of Credit Collateral Account. Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will, until the final expiration date of any Facility Letter of Credit and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the Lenders in respect of any Facility Letter of Credit, maintain a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIV, in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which such Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of the Administrative Agent having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.15.7 shall either obligate the Administrative Agent to require any Borrower to deposit any funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account other than as follows: (a) as required by Section 8.1, and the Borrower’s obligations to deposit funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account are limited to the circumstances required by

Section 8.1 after the occurrence of a Default and during the continuance thereof and with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit with an expiration after the Facility Termination Date, and (b) if any Facility Letter of Credit has an expiration date after the Facility Termination Date, the Company shall deposit funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to or greater than 105% of the aggregate maximum amount remaining available to be drawn under all such Facility Letters of Credit on or before the date 30 days prior to the Facility Termination Date.

2.15.8. Nature of Obligations. (a) As among the Borrowers, the Issuers and the Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Facility Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Facility Letters of Credit requested by it. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuers and the Lenders shall not be responsible for (i) 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 any Facility Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Facility 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) failure of the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Facility Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) misapplication by the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit; or (vii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuers or the Lenders. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 2.15, such Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Administrative Agent, each Issuer and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the claims of third parties against the Administrative Agent or such Issuer in respect of any Facility Letter of Credit requested by such Borrower.

(b) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Issuers or any Lender under or in connection with the Facility Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuer or such Lender under any resulting liability to any Borrower or relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to the Issuers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.15.8, a Borrower shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender under this Section 2.15 in respect of any liability incurred by each arising primarily out of the willful misconduct of such Issuer, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or out of the wrongful dishonor by such Issuer of a proper demand for payment made under the Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless such dishonor was made at the request of such Borrower in writing, or out of the wrongful honor by such Issuer of a demand for payment made under the Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer which demand for payment does not comply with the conditions required in order to draw upon such Facility Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless such dishonor was made at the request of such Borrower in writing.

2.15.9. Replacement and Resignation of the Issuer. (a) Any Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuer and the successor Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement with

respect to Facility Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuer, or to such successor and all previous Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuer hereunder, the replaced Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Facility Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Facility Letters of Credit.

(b) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuer, the Issuer may resign as an Issuer at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuer shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.15.19(a) above.

2.15.10. Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends any Facility Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Facility Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuer makes any Facility LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such Facility LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse a Facility LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such Facility LC Disbursement, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer.

2.15.11. LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Facility Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Facility Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.

2.16. Swing Loans.

(a) Making of Swing Loans. The Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to make revolving loans (the “Swing Loans”) to any Borrower solely for the Administrative Agent’s own account, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date up to an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount permitted by Section 2.1(b). The Administrative Agent may make Swing Loans, provided that the Administrative Agent has received a request in writing (or via telephone if permitted by the Administrative Agent) from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower for funding of a Swing Loan no later than such time required by the Administrative Agent, on the Business Day on which such Swing Loan is requested to be made in the case of Swing Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros or British Pounds Sterling or, if required by the Administrative Agent, one Business Day prior to the date such Swing Loan is requested to be made in the case of Swing Loans denominated in any other Agreed Currency. The Administrative Agent shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing one Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the conditions contained in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 are not then satisfied and ending upon the satisfaction or waiver of such condition(s). Each outstanding Swing Loan shall be payable on the Business Day following demand therefor, with interest at the rate agreed to

between the Administrative Agent and such Borrower accrued thereon, shall be secured as part of the Obligations by the Collateral and shall otherwise be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Loans, except that all interest thereon shall be payable to the Administrative Agent solely for its own account.

(b) Swing Loan Borrowing Requests. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice for Swing Loans signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent shall govern, absent manifest error.

(c) Repayment of Swing Loans. At any time after making a Swing Loan, the Administrative Agent may request such Borrower to, and upon request by the Administrative Agent such Borrower shall, promptly request an Advance from all Lenders to such Borrower and apply the proceeds of such Advance to the repayment of any Swing Loan owing by such Borrower not later than the Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier to occur of (a) three Business Days after demand is made by the Administrative Agent, and (b) the Facility Termination Date, each Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loan and promptly pay such amount to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds. Such payment shall be made by the other Lenders whether or not a Default is then continuing or any other condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 is then met and whether or not such Borrower has then requested an Advance in such amount. If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent, any amounts due to the Administrative Agent from such Lender pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such other local cost of funds rate determined by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Swing Loan denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency for the first three Business Days after such Lender receives notice of such required purchase and thereafter, at the rate applicable to such Loan, payable (i) on demand, (ii) by setoff against any payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or (iii) by payment to the Administrative Agent by the Administrative Agent of amounts otherwise payable to such Lender under this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any unpaid Swing Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any unpaid Swing Loan on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any unpaid Swing Loan.

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

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5.1, subject to clause (c)(iv) below;

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby which affects such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of such Swing Loan Exposure and Facility LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure and Facility LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; and

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

(iii) if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.17(c), the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15.6(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Facility LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.15.6(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; or

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuers or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Facility LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.15.6(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuers until such Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(vi) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuers shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Facility Letter of Credit (and it is acknowledged that the Administrative Agent is not be required to fund any Swing Loan at any time) and, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Facility Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(d) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent (other than to the Administrative Agent as the lender of Swing Loans) hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuers or the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the lender of Swing Loans) hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Swing Loan or Facility Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion

thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and such Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to such Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of Facility LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Administrative Agent or any Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Issuer shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Facility Letter of Credit, unless the Issuer shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. It is acknowledged that the Administrative Agent is not required to fund any Swing Loan at any time.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Issuers each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Loan Exposure and Facility LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

2.18. Collateral Security; Guaranties; Further Assurances.

(a) As security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, the Company shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent Loan Documents granting the following: first priority liens and security interests, pursuant to Pledge Agreements, on 65% of the present and future voting Capital Stock (and 100% of such non-voting Capital Stock) of certain present and future Foreign Subsidiaries and Guaranties of certain present and future Domestic Subsidiaries such that, at all times, the Domestic Subsidiaries which are not Guarantors and the Foreign Subsidiaries that are owned directly by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary that do not have 65% of their Capital Stock (and 100% of such non-voting Capital Stock) pledged pursuant to Pledge Agreements do not, if considered in the aggregate as a single Subsidiary, constitute a Significant Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 2.18, the assets of any Subsidiary shall be calculated based on the consolidated assets of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries. In connection with the delivery of any such Guaranties and Pledge Agreements, the Company shall provide such other documentation to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, one or more opinions of counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, corporate documents and resolutions, which in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent is necessary or advisable in connection therewith.

(b) Each of the Borrowers agrees that it will execute and deliver, and cause each Guarantor to execute and deliver, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such additional Collateral Documents and other agreements, documents and instruments, each in form and substance satisfactory to

the Administrative Agent, sufficient to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the liens and security interests contemplated by this Agreement and the Collateral Documents.

2.19. Optional Increase in Commitments.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company may, upon at least ten (10) days (or such other period of time agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Company) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Commitments from time to time, either by designating a lender not theretofore a Lender to become a Lender (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld) or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased (thus increasing the Aggregate Commitments); provided that:

(i) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder as of the effective date of such increase;

(ii) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty which is already qualified as to materiality or by reference to Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;

(iii) the amount of each such increase in the Aggregate Commitments shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or such other minimum amount agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Company), and shall not cause the sum of (x) the aggregate increases in the Commitments under this Section 2.19(a) plus (y) the outstanding amount of all New Term Loans made under Section 2.19(b) to exceed $200,000,000;

(iv) the Borrowers and any applicable Lender or lender not theretofore a Lender, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and each Borrower;

(v) no existing Lender shall be obligated in any way to increase any of its Commitments unless it has executed and delivered a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement;

(vi) the Administrative Agent shall consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to such increase and the Company shall have complied with such other conditions in connection with such increase as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent;

(vii) the interest rates paid with respect to the increased Commitment shall be identical to those payable with respect to the existing Commitments;

(viii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and

Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of the Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, from and after the effective date specified in a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such other Lender shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder. Upon its receipt of a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement together with any note or notes, if requested, subject to such addition and assumption and the written consent to such addition and assumption, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement has been completed and the other conditions described in this Section 2.19 have been satisfied: (x) accept such Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement; (y) record the information contained therein in the Register; and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company and deliver to the Lenders a schedule reflecting the new Commitments. The Lenders (new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall make an assignment to the new or existing Lender accepting a new or increased Commitment, of a direct or participation interest in each then outstanding Loan and Facility Letter of Credit such that, after giving effect thereto, all Credit Exposure hereunder is held ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and facility and letter of credit fees. The Borrowers shall make any payments under Section 3.4 resulting from such assignments.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company may, upon at least ten (10) days (or such other period of time agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Company) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, request a new credit facility which is a term loan (a “New Term Loan”); provided that:

(iii) the amount of each such New Term Loan shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or such other minimum amount agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Company), and shall not cause the sum of (x) the aggregate increases in the Commitments under Section 2.19(a) plus (y) the outstanding amount of any such New Term Loan and any other New Term Loans made under this Section 2.19(b) to exceed $200,000,000;

(v) no existing Lender shall be obligated in any way to make any New Term Loan unless it has executed and delivered a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement;

(vii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

(ix) the New Term Loans shall constitute “Loans” for all purposes of the Loan Documents;

(x) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in a writing executed and delivered by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to reflect any technical changes necessary to give effect to such New Term Loan in accordance with its terms as set forth herein, which may include the addition of such New Term Loan as a separate facility;

(xi) such New Term Loan is on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Agreement, except as set forth in (viii) above or to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(xii) a new Lender may not be the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company.

(c) This provisions of Sections 2.19(a) and (b) shall supersede any provisions in Section 8.2 or with respect to pro rata payments or distributions to the contrary.

2.20. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Loan Agreement as of the date hereof. All loans and letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement shall constitute Loans and Facility Letters of Credit under this Agreement and all fees and other obligations accrued under the Existing Loan Agreement as of the date of this Agreement will be paid under this Agreement according to the terms of this Agreement. The Loans and Facility Letters of Credit and other obligations pursuant hereto are issued in exchange and replacement for the loans, letters of credit other obligations under the Existing Loan Agreement, shall not be a novation or satisfaction thereof and shall be entitled to and secured by the same collateral with the same priority. The Lenders and each Existing Lender which will not continue as a Lender hereunder (an “Exiting Lender”) will make such payments among themselves as directed by the Administrative Agent so that, after giving effect thereto, each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Aggregate Credit Exposure on the Effective Date and with Interest Periods that all begin on the Effective Date and the Company shall be liable for any breakage costs under Section 3.4. All parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement, as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, constitutes the “Existing Loan Agreement” as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE III

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES, TAXES

3.1. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Fixed Rate Advance:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Advance for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request that requests the conversion of any Advance to, or continuation of any Advance as, a Fixed Rate Advance shall be ineffective and any such Eurocurrency Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) if any request for an Advance requests a Eurocurrency Advance such request shall be ineffective, and (iii) if any request for an Advance requests a Eurodollar Advance, such Advance shall be made as an Floating Rate Advance; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Advances, then the other Type of Advances shall be permitted. In the case of Loans by a Lender from its Lending Installation in the United Kingdom, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Lender, promptly upon demand by such Lender and to the extent the Lender is not otherwise compensated for such amounts hereunder, for any mandatory costs of meeting mandatory capital reserve requirements and regulatory fees, if any, required by any regulatory bodies in the United Kingdom, including without limitation the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate) or the Issuer;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Facility Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or

to increase the cost to such Lender (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Advance denominated in an Agreed Currency into an Advance denominated in any other Agreed Currency), the Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Facility Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Advance denominated in an Agreed Currency into an Advance denominated in any other Agreed Currency), then the Company will pay to such Lender, the Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

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

3.3. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default), (b) the conversion of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Fixed Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked and is revoked), or (d) the assignment of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 3.5, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Base Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period

from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

3.4. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Each applicable Borrower shall timely pay any to the relevant Governable Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.1relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the

amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.4(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN; or

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document 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 Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the

indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.4, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(j) FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

3.5. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.4, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.4, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment including the $3,500 fee contemplated by Section 13.1(b).

(b) If any Lender (i) shall become affected by any of the changes or events described in Section 3.2 or 3.4 and a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or make indemnity payments with respect to the Lender thereunder, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender or (iii) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or any other provision of any Loan Document requires the consent of all affected Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent (any such Lender being hereinafter referred to as a “Departing Lender”), then in such case, the Borrowers may, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and such Departing Lender (or such shorter notice period specified by the Administrative Agent), designate a replacement lender acceptable to the Administrative Agent (a “Replacement Lender”) to which such Departing Lender shall, subject to its receipt (unless a later date for the remittance thereof shall be agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Departing Lender) of all amounts owed to such Departing Lender under Sections 3.2 or 3.4, assign all (but not less than all) of its interests, rights, obligations, Loans and Commitments hereunder; provided, that the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Facility LC Disbursements and Swing Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Replacement Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts). Upon any assignment by any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.5 becoming effective, the Replacement Lender shall thereupon be

deemed to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement (unless such Replacement Lender was, itself, a Lender prior thereto) and such Departing Lender shall thereupon cease to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder (other than pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.4 and Section 10.7) while such Departing Lender was a Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding any Departing Lender’s failure or refusal to assign its rights, obligations, Loans and Commitments under this Section 3.5, the Departing Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the Replacement Lender shall be substituted therefor upon payment to the Departing Lender by the Replacement Lender of all amounts set forth in this Section without any further action of the Departing Lender.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each of the Company and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers (insofar as the representations and warranties set forth below relate to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

5.1. Corporate Existence and Standing. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other organization, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate, partnership, company or similar authority to conduct its business as presently conducted.

5.2. Authorization and Validity. Each Borrower has the corporate or other power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrowers of the Loan Documents and the performance of their obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate or other proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which they are a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation, code of regulations, by-laws or other organizational documents, or the provisions of any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Lien permitted by Section 6.14) in, of or on the Property of the Company or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. Other than those which have been obtained, no order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents.

5.4. Financial Statements. All financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries heretofore delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by any Governmental Authority and have paid all taxes shown as due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Governmental Authority, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP and as to which no Lien (other than as permitted by Section 6.14) exists except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No material tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, other than as permitted by Section 6.14.

5.7. Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.7 hereto, there is no litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of any of the Company’s executive officers, any governmental investigation or inquiry pending or any litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of the Loans or Advances. Other than any liability incident to such litigation, arbitration or proceedings listed on Schedule 5.7, the Company and its Subsidiaries have no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4.

5.8. Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 hereto contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock owned by the Company or other Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiaries held by the Company have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

5.9. ERISA. Each member of the Controlled Group has fulfilled its material obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. Each member of the Controlled Group is in material compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan except where such noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event which has or may result in any material liability has occurred with respect to any Plan, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Single Employer Plan. No member of the Controlled Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or made any amendment to any Plan, which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any material, actual liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

5.10. Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents (excluding financial projections, estimates, budgets or other forward looking statements or general market data) contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, as of the date thereof. All financial projections, estimates, budgets and

other forward looking statements furnished by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents have been prepared in good faith based upon accurate and complete historical data for the Company and its Subsidiaries and reasonable assumptions.

5.11. Regulations T, U and X. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries extends or maintains, in the ordinary course of business, credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or ultimate, of buying or carrying any such margin stock or maintaining or extending credit to others for such purpose. After applying the proceeds of each Advance, such margin stock will not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Company alone or of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) that are subject to any provisions of any Loan Document that may cause the Advances to be deemed secured, directly or indirectly, by such margin stock. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with Section 6.2.

5.12. Material Agreements. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction the existence or performance of which, or compliance with which, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement to which it is a party (including any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness), which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.13. Compliance With Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property if failure to comply could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14. Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Company and its Subsidiaries have not engaged in any prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability; and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loans (assuming that the Lenders do not fund any of the Loans with any “plan assets” as defined above) hereunder give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

5.15. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of the Company consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Company and its Subsidiaries due to Environmental Laws. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.15 hereto, on the basis of this consideration, the Company has reasonably concluded that Environmental Laws cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.16. Investment Company Act. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5.17. Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) Except as described on Schedule 5.8, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is a direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company (excluding director qualifying shares); and

(b) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower will have, upon becoming a party hereto, all right and authority to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, and to perform all of its obligations under this and each other Loan Document to which it is a party; all of the foregoing actions will have been taken prior to any request for Advances by such Borrower, duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Borrower, and when such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower becomes a party hereto, this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party will constitute valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as such terms may be limited by the application of bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1. Acceleration. (a) If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligations of the Issuers to issue Facility Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive and without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender and (ii) each Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without the need for demand or the necessity of any act or evidence, to deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV, for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, an amount (the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”) equal to the excess, if any, of

(A) 105% of the sum of the aggregate maximum amount remaining available to be drawn under the Facility Letters of Credit requested by such Borrower (assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing thereunder) issued by an Issuer and outstanding as of such time, over

(B) the amount on deposit for such Borrower in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at such time that is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties (other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) and that has not been applied by the Lenders against the Obligations of such Borrower.

(b) If any Default occurs and is continuing (other than a Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7), (i) the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and

the obligation of the Issuers to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon (if so declared) the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive and (ii) the Required Lenders may, upon notice delivered to the Borrowers with outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on each such Borrower to deliver (and each such Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Required Lenders and without necessity of further act or evidence, be and become thereby unconditionally obligated to deliver), to the Administrative Agent, at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV, for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account an amount equal to the Collateral Shortfall Amount payable by such Borrower.

(c) If at any time while any Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may make demand on the Borrowers with outstanding Facility Letters of Credit to deliver (and each such Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent and without necessity of further act or evidence, be and become thereby unconditionally obligated to deliver), to the Administrative Agent as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account an amount equal to such Collateral Shortfall Amount payable by such Borrower at such time.

(d) The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations of the relevant Borrowers and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the relevant Borrowers to the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

(e) Neither the Borrowers nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrowers shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, any funds remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower(s) or paid to whoever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Persons with respect to any such funds.

(g) In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Company or any other Loan Party granting a security interest in any Collateral (the Company and each such other Loan Party, the “Grantors”) or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by the Grantor of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Lenders, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or

office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Article VIII, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, subject to Section 8.4 hereof, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

8.2. Amendments.

8.2.1. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no Lender’s Commitment may be modified without such Lender’s written consent and, provided, further, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(a) Extend the final maturity of any Loan, Note or Reimbursement Obligation or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby.

(b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, in each case without the consent of each Lender.

(d) Extend the Facility Termination Date without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby.

(e) Permit any Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby.

(i) change Section 12.2 (including defined terms used therein) or Section 8.4 in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared (it being understood and agreed that (i) any amendments or other modifications permitted by Section 8.2.6 shall not be deemed to alter the manner in which payments are shared or alter any other pro rata sharing of payments and (ii) any “amend-and-extend” transaction that extends the Facility Termination Date only for those Lenders that agree to such an extension shall not be deemed to alter the manner in which payments are shared or alter any other pro rata sharing of payments).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement , (i) no modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any modification or waiver affecting only the rights and interests of the Administrative Agent may be modified or waived by the Administrative Agent only; (ii) no modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the Issuer; (iii) the Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.1 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement; (iv) any Lender’s Commitment may be increased or decreased (subject to clause (c) above) with the written consent of such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company, any Lender may be removed as a Lender hereunder with the written consent of such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company and any Person may added as a Lender hereunder with the written consent of such Person, the Administrative Agent and the Company and subject to the execution of such supplemental agreements and documents required by the Administrative Agent; (v) this Agreement and the Loan Documents may be amended as described in Section 2.19; and (vi) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

8.2.2. In addition to the above amendments, Schedule 1.1(c) may be amended as follows:

(i) Subject to Section 8.2.2(iii), Schedule 1.1(c) will be automatically amended to add Subsidiaries of the Company as additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers upon (A) execution and delivery by the Company, any such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent, of a Joinder Agreement providing for any such Subsidiary to become a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, (B) delivery to the Administrative Agent of (a) a Foreign Subsidiary Opinion in respect of such additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and (b) such other documents with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall reasonably request, including without limitation all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, and (c) the written approval of the Administrative Agent and each Lender in its sole discretion.

(ii) Schedule 1.1(c) will be automatically amended to remove any Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower upon (A) written notice by the Company to the Administrative Agent to such effect and (B) repayment in full of all outstanding Loans and all other obligations pursuant to any Loan Document of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Credit Extensions to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or in any Agreed Foreign Currency if such Lender determines in such Lender’s sole discretion that such Lender is prohibited from making Credit Extensions to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or in such Agreed Foreign Currency pursuant to Lender’s policy or applicable law.

8.2.3. In addition to above amendments, Schedule 1.1(a) may be amended by the Administrative Agent to alter the Commitments in accordance with Section 2.19 or 8.2.1, and shall be deemed automatically amended each time the Administrative Agent sends a revised Schedule 1.1(a) to the Lenders and the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

8.2.4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to vote (whether to consent or to withhold its consent) with respect to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver and, for purposes of determining the Required Lenders and the Required Lenders, the Commitments and the Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded, provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby which affects such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the ability, but not the obligation, to replace any such Defaulting Lender with another lender or lenders.

8.2.5. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Company certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to any Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such release on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty.

8.2.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cure any error, ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in order to more accurately reflect the intent of the parties, provided that (x) prior written notice of such proposed cure shall be given to the Lenders and (y) the Required Lenders do not object to such cure in writing to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days of such notice.

8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude

other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations and all other Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.

8.4 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.1(a)), subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

(a) first, to payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

(b) second, to payment of fees, indemnities and other reimbursable expenses (other than principal, interest, letter of credit fees, commitment fees and facility fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Issuers as required by Section 10.7 and amounts payable under Article III);

(c) third, to payment of accrued and unpaid commitment fees, facility fees, letter of credit fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this Section 8.4 payable to them;

(d) fourth, to payment of all other Obligations, Rate Hedging Obligations and Banking Services Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and other Secured Parties, as applicable; and

(e) last, the balance, if any, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law;

provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.4.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEE

9.1. Guarantee. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by its Subsidiaries when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations owing by such Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which are paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, the Company under this Section. This Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto the Borrowers may be free from any Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) No payment or payments made by any Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Company hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable hereunder for the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.

(d) The Company agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability under this Section, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Section for such purpose.

9.2. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Company hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Company by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Company shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the Company seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers in respect of payments made by the Company hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Company on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Company in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Company, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Company, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Company (duly endorsed by the Company to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Administrative Agent may determine. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

9.3. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; Waiver of Rights. The Company shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Company, and without notice to or further assent by the Company, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and any Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the provisions thereof as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other Borrower or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative

Agent or any Lender to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any other Borrower or any such other guarantor or any release of the Borrowers or such other guarantor shall not relieve the Company of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Company. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

9.4. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Company waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Agreement or acceptance of this Agreement; the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Agreement; and all dealings among the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. The Company waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Subsidiaries and the Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Article IX shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance by any Borrower) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of the Company under this Section 9.4, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (other than a defense of payment or performance by the Borrowers). When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Company, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrowers or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrowers or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Company of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Company. This Article IX shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall have been satisfied by payment in full and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement the Borrowers may be free from any Guaranteed Obligations.

9.5. Reinstatement. This Article IX shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or Trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

9.6. Payments. The Company hereby agrees that all payments required to be made by it hereunder will be made to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, in the currency in which payment is due.

9.7. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.7 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.7 or otherwise under this guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 8.08 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.7 constitute, and this Section 9.7 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

10.10. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower.

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

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1. Appointment. Each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates, and the Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Issuer), and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The acknowledgments and agreements of any Lender in this Article XI shall be deemed to be made by such Lender on behalf of itself and its Affiliates. For purposes of such acknowledgements and agreements, the term “Lender” shall include the Issuer.

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

11.3. Duties and Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of

the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2), and, (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

11.5. Actions through Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent designates JPMCB Canada to perform its duties and exercise its rights and powers with respect to Loans and Borrowings made to any Canadian Borrower and as a party to this Agreement, and as an Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Canadian Borrower, and the Administrative Agent designates London Administrative Office to perform its duties and exercise its rights and powers with respect to Loans and Borrowings made to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (other than the Canadian Borrower), and as an Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (other than the Canadian Borrower). The Administrative Agent may from time to time change any such designations and add any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent as parties hereto for purposes of performing the duties and exercise the rights and powers of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to Loans and Borrowings denominated in Agreed Foreign Currencies.

11.6. Resignation. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuer and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by its successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrowers, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duly or obligation to take any further action under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuer. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article, Section 3.4(d), Section 3.4(e) and Section 10.7, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.

11.7. Non-Reliance.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire

or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

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

11.8. Not Partners or Co-Venturers; Administrative Agent as Representative of the Secured Parties. (a) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. Additionally, except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender, including the Issuer, in accordance with the Agreement, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and subject to the agreements herein, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or other Loan Party with respect to any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the consent of the Administrative Agent. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and

deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent is further authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Lenders any intercreditor agreements necessary or appropriate to subordinate any Indebtedness to the Obligations and the other Guaranteed Obligations. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 8.2.5; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Company to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Company or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

11.9 Other Titles. None of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Joint Arranger or Joint Bookrunner shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Joint Arranger or Bookrunner (sole or joint), as applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

11.10. Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any

such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

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

ARTICLE XII

SETOFF; ADJUSTMENTS AMONG LENDERS

12.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of any Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender by such Borrower.

12.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Obligations owing from a Borrower (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or 10.7) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender on its Obligations owing from

such Borrower, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Advances to such Borrower held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Advances to such Borrower. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Aggregate Credit Exposure (in accordance with the formula set forth in the next sentence). In addition to the equalization accomplished by the first two sentences of this Section 12.2, if any Lender receives the proceeds of any Collateral upon and during the continuance of any Default, including without limitation in connection with any enforcement of remedies hereunder, in a greater proportion (based on the ratio of such Lender’s Aggregate Credit Exposure (as calculated in U.S. Dollars based on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the date of acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1) to the sum of the Aggregate Credit Exposure of all Lenders (as calculated in U.S. Dollars based on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the date of acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1)) than that received by any other Lender, such Lender and all other Lenders agree to purchase participation interests in other Lenders’ Aggregate Credit Exposure and/or take such other reasonable actions and make such other equitable adjustments among the Lenders as reasonably agreed to by the Lenders, to ensure that each Lender receives its proportionate share (based on its U.S. Dollar Equivalent share of the Aggregate Credit Exposure of all Lenders) of all such proceeds of Collateral. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XIII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

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

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

(A) the Company, provided that, the Company shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

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

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

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

For the purposes of this Section 13.1(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender, (c) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Assignee if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business; provided that upon the occurrence of a Default, any Person (other than a Lender) shall be an Ineligible Institutions if after giving effect any proposed assignment to such Person, such Person would hold more than 25% of the then outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitments, as the case may be.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 10.7). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

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

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or

instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (a) - (e) the first proviso to Section 8.2.1 that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.2, .3.3 and 3.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 3.4(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.4(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and the information and documentation required under 3.4(g) will be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.2 or 3.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.5(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Facility Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, under applicable law that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency in the city in which it normally conducts its foreign exchange operation for the first currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Applicable Agreed Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Applicable Agreed Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of Applicable Agreed Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Applicable Agreed Currency, such Borrower agrees notwithstanding any such judgment to indemnify such Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the Applicable Agreed Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, such Lender agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

(c) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
