Nothing in this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the terms of Section 6.1 hereof.

(f) Optional Prepayment. At any time during the 25th month from the Closing Date through the 36th month from the Closing Date, Borrower shall have the option of prepaying an amount of the Term Loans not to exceed 10% of the then outstanding aggregate balance of the Term Loans upon written notice to Lender not later than the Requisite Time provided that any prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment equal to 4% of the prepayment amount for any prepayment during the period.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but for the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower desires to make a prepayment on the 48th month following the Closing Date, the percentage calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence would be equal to 2% (e.g., 4% - (4%* (365/730))).

(c) Revival. To the extent that Lender receives any payment on account of the Obligations and any such payment(s) and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or proceeds had not been received by Lender and applied on account of the Obligations. Borrower shall execute any and all agreements, notes and documents, reasonably requested by Lender to effect the provisions of this Section 3.5(c).

4.17. ERISA Compliance.

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.17(a), The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than USD 10,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than USD 10,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.17, the present value of accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of Borrower’s most recently ended Fiscal Year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

4.18. Intellectual Property. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, is licensed to use or otherwise has the right to use Intellectual Property material to its business. Such Intellectual Property is valid and has been duly registered or filed with all appropriate governmental authorities, if applicable. There is no objection to or pending challenge to the validity of any Intellectual Property and Borrower has no Knowledge of any grounds for any challenge thereto. None of the Intellectual Property used by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and none of the products or services produced, marketed or sold by Borrower and its Subsidiaries infringes upon or violates the Intellectual Property rights of any third party except for such infringement that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.19. Compliance with Laws. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.20. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries contained in any Loan Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lender that such projections may differ from actual results. To the Knowledge of Borrower, there are no facts (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lender for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.21. Pari-Passu. The obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents rank at least pari-passu with the claims of all unsecured and unsubordinated creditors of Borrower except those claims which are given preference as a matter of law.

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1. Modification.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document shall be amended, modified or supplemented, or any provision waived, without the written agreement of Borrower and Lender at the time of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, and each such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) Lender shall have the absolute right to require full and complete performance of Borrower’s covenants and obligations and strict compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower. Failure by Lender to insist upon full and prompt performance of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or failure by Lender to take action in the event of any breach of any such provision or Event of Default, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of Lender or any course of conduct, and Lender may at any time thereafter exercise all rights specified herein, in any other Loan Document or provided by applicable Law with respect to such breach or Event of Default. If Lender elects to make any Advance hereunder at any time that Borrower has not satisfied all conditions precedent thereto, or if Lender fails to insist on strict performance of any covenant or condition herein, Lender shall make such election or determination, in Lender’s exclusive discretion. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all consents, to be granted herein, shall be granted or withheld, or continued to be granted or withheld, in Lender’s exclusive discretion. Lender shall have no duty to Borrower to exercise any judgment or discretion under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document for the benefit of Borrower. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges that failure to require strict compliance by such Borrower with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not constitute a waiver by Lender or establish a course of conduct, and that Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right to insist on strict compliance with all provisions thereafter. Borrower hereby expressly waives any right to assert that it detrimentally relied upon such continued waiver or that Lender acted in bad faith in insisting upon strict compliance by such Borrower with the provisions of this Agreement or in exercising any right or remedy expressly granted to Lender hereunder. Receipt by Lender of any instrument or document shall not constitute or be deemed to be an approval thereof.

11.2. Severability. If any provision (in whole or in part) of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed modified, restricted, or reformulated to the extent and in the manner necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement and/or such Loan Document, as the case may require, and this Agreement and/or such Loan Document shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law, as if such provision had been originally incorporated herein as so modified, restricted, or reformulated or as if such provision had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be. Borrower and Lender further agree to seek a lawful substitute for any provision found to be unlawful. If such modification, restriction or reformulation is not reasonably possible, the remainder of this Agreement and other the Loan Documents and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby and the provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be severable in any such instance.

11.3. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Borrower and Lender, provided that this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and no interest or right hereunder or thereunder may be assigned by Borrower without prior written consent of Lender which may be withheld in Lender’s sole and exclusive discretion.

11.4. Controlling Provisions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in the Loan Documents, Lender, exercising reasonable business judgment based on current market practice, shall have the right to elect which provision shall govern and control.

11.5. Termination. Except for the obligations set forth herein and as may be expressly provided in any other Loan Document, this Agreement and all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrower set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and the liens and security interests granted Lender pursuant hereto and the Loan Documents shall automatically terminate when all accrued but unpaid Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim has been made) hereunder have been paid in full and either (a) the term hereof has expired, or (b) the Loans have been reduced to zero and has been terminated. In addition, Lender shall promptly take, at the sole reasonable cost and expense of Borrower, such other actions, and shall execute and/or file such documents, as Borrower may reasonably request from time to time to evidence the termination of the liens granted hereunder and the payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, cancellation of the Revolving Notes.

11.6. Liability Prior to Termination. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair the powers, obligations, duties, rights and liabilities of Borrower or Lender in any way or respect relating to any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination or cancellation with respect to any of the undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrower or Lender contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

11.7. Waiver of Notice Omitted. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Borrower waives any and all notice or demand which such Borrower might be entitled to receive with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by virtue of any applicable statute or Law, and waives presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, dishonor, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which such Borrower may in any way be liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard.

11.8. Designated Person. Until Lender is notified by Borrower to the contrary in writing by registered or certified mail directed to Lender’s principal place of business, the signature upon this Agreement or upon any of the other Loan Documents of any Responsible Officer or of any other Person designated in writing to Lender by any of the foregoing shall bind Borrower and be deemed to be the duly authorized act of Borrower.

11.9. Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender, harmless from and against any and all losses, Costs, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including other expenses incident thereto) of every kind, nature and description, that result from or arise out of (a) the breach of any representation or warranty of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule, or other instrument by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto, (b) the breach of any of the covenants of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries contained in or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (c) any third party claims relating to the conduct of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries’ business (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct).

11.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender, Borrower and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing contained herein or therein shall be deemed to confer upon any other Person any right to insist on or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations, terms or covenants contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make Loans are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and their respective successors and assigns and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms and no other Persons shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions. No term in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties, nor any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender or by Borrower shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. All rights and remedies granted to Lender in the Loan Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any rights and remedies to which it is entitled in equity, at law or by statute, and the invalidity of any right or remedy herein provided by reason of its conflict with applicable Law or statute shall not affect any other valid right or remedy afforded to Lender. No waiver of any Event of Default or of any default in the performance of any covenant contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall at any time thereafter be held to be a waiver of any rights of Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document, nor shall any waiver of a prior Event of Default or default operate to waive any subsequent Event of Default or default. All remedies provided for herein and in any Loan

Document, at law or in equity are cumulative and may, at the election of Lender, be exercised alternatively, successively, or concurrently. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision. Borrower agrees that Lender shall not have any liability to Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Lender shall not have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by such Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

11.11. Acceptance by Lender. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are submitted by Borrower to Lender (for Lender’s acceptance or rejection thereof) at Lender’s principal place of business as an offer by Borrower to borrow monies from Lender now and from time to time hereafter and shall not be binding upon Lender or become effective until and unless accepted by Lender, in writing, at said place of business. If so accepted by Lender, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been made at said place of business.

11.12. Prior Agreements; Interpretation. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede in their entirety any other agreement or understanding between Lender and Borrower with respect to loans and advances made by Lender and all commitments of Lender in connection therewith.
