(b) Swing Loan Refunding. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to such effect to the Global Agent, specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice of Swing Line Refunding”). Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Line Refunding, the Global Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Lenders with Facility Commitments and, unless an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(g) in respect of the Company has occurred, the Company. Each such Notice of Swing Line Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery by the Company of a Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans consisting of US Base Rate Loans in the amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates. Each Lender with a Facility Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby unconditionally agrees (notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 5.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below) to make a Revolving Loan to the Company in the Funding Amount applicable to such Lender based on such Lender’s Funding Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Line Refunding relates. Each such Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Global Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Domestic Lending Office), or not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be made immediately available to the Swing Line Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Line Refunding related.

(c) Swing Loan Participation. If, prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice of Swing Line Refunding, any of the events

specified in Section 8.01(g) shall have occurred in respect of the Company or one or more of the Lenders with Facility Commitments shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a Revolving Loan under such circumstances, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), or each Lender (other than Swing Line Lender) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the “Purchase Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the applicable outstanding Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Line Refunding related, in an amount (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”) equal to such Lender’s Funding Percentage of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such Lender or each such Lender so prohibited, as the case may be, shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if requested by such other Lender, deliver to such Lender a participation certificate, dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in, such Swing Loans and its Swing Line Participation Amount in respect thereof. If any amount required to be paid by a Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any other Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the Company on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Payment Sharing Percentage of such amount in effect on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(d) Obligations Unconditional. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and/or to purchase Swing Loan Participations in connection with a Notice of Swing Line Refunding shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Lender shall have received a Notice of Swing Line Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (ii) at the time the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Line Refunding were made, the Swing Line Lender had no actual written notice from another Lender that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Credit Party, or any other Person, or any Credit Party may have against any Lender or other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any event or circumstance involving a Material Adverse Effect upon the Borrowers; (D) any breach of any Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.05 Revolving Facility Letters of Credit.

(a) Revolving Facility LC Issuance. During the Availability Period, the Company may request an LC Issuer at any time and from time to time to issue, for the account of the Company, any other Revolving Facility Borrower or any Subsidiary, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each LC Issuer agrees to issue from time to time Revolving Facility Letters of Credit denominated and payable in Dollars or any Designated Foreign Currency and in each case in such form as may be approved by such LC Issuer and the Global Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Revolving Facility LC Issuance shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Revolving Facility LC Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Facility LC Commitment Amount, (B) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Facility Commitment, (C) the

Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the Total Facility Commitment, (D) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure at such time that is denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, (E) the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, (F) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure would exceed the Maximum Credit Facility Amount, or (G) any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Revolving Facility Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.13(b) hereof. Subject to Section 2.05(c) below, each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (x) one year from the date of issuance thereof, and (y) the Credit Facility Termination Date.

(b) Revolving Facility LC Requests. Whenever the Company desires that a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any eligible LC Obligor, the Company shall give the applicable LC Issuer written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the LC Issuer) which, if in the form of written notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (each such request, a “Revolving Facility LC Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable LC Issuer), prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant LC Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which Revolving Facility LC Request shall include such supporting documents that such LC Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit for an account party other than a Revolving Facility Borrower, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement agreement with respect to, such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of any LC Document relating to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit and the terms and provisions of this Agreement respecting Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable Revolving Facility LC Request, each LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit the renewal of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Credit Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such LC Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-renewal from the Global Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.03 is not then satisfied.

(d) Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by the Lender that issued such Existing Letter of Credit and such Lender shall be deemed to be the “LC Issuer” with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Company agrees that it shall be liable with respect to any drawing made under any of the Existing Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section and the other provisions of this Agreement. Each LC Issuer of an Existing Letter of Credit agrees that on and after the Closing Date (i) the fees applicable to each Existing Letter of

Credit shall be the fees set forth in Section 2.11, and (ii) any reimbursement agreement in effect with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed terminated and each Existing Letter of Credit shall be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(e) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable LC Issuer and the applicable LC Obligor, when a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (including the International Chamber of Commerce’s decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro), as the same may be updated) shall apply to each Trade Letter of Credit.

(f) Notice of Revolving Facility LC Issuance. Each LC Issuer shall, on the date of each Revolving Facility LC Issuance by it, give the Global Agent, each applicable Lender and the Company written notice of such Revolving Facility LC Issuance which shall specify whether such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is a Trade Letter of Credit or a Standby Letter of Credit and be accompanied by a copy to the Global Agent of the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or Revolving Facility Letters of Credit issued by it. Each LC Issuer shall provide to the Global Agent and each Lender a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Lender) summary describing each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period of the daily aggregate Revolving Facility LC Outstandings represented by Revolving Facility Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.

(g) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default exists, no LC Issuer shall be required to make any Revolving Facility LC Issuance unless either (i) such LC Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Company to eliminate such LC Issuer’s risk with respect to the Revolving Facility LC Participations of the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Funding Percentage of the Revolving Facility LC Outstandings; or (ii) such Revolving Facility LC Issuance, taking into account the potential failure of the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders to risk participate therein, will not cause such LC Issuer to incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Loans and Revolving Facility LC Outstandings in excess of its Commitments, and the Company has undertaken, for the benefit of such LC Issuer, pursuant to an instrument satisfactory in form and substance to such LC Issuer, not to thereafter incur Loans or Revolving Facility LC Outstandings hereunder that would cause such LC Issuer to incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Loans and Revolving Facility LC Outstandings in excess of its Commitments.

(h) Reimbursement Obligations.

(i) Each Revolving Facility Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse (or cause any LC Obligor for whose account a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit was issued to reimburse) each LC Issuer, by making payment directly to such LC Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of such LC Issuer, for any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit immediately after, and in any event (x) with respect to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, on the date on which, and (y) with respect to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, within two Business Days of the date on which such LC Issuer notifies the Company (or any such other LC Obligor for whose account such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit was issued (each being a “Notifiable Party”)) of such payment or disbursement (in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), each an “Applicable Reimbursement Date”, (which notice to the Notifiable Parties shall be

delivered reasonably promptly after any such payment or disbursement), such payment to be made in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency in which such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is denominated, with, provided that the LC Issuer has already notified the Notifiable Parties that reimbursement is required, interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such LC Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at the payment office of the applicable LC Issuer) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such LC Issuer is reimbursed therefor (by utilization of a drawing under the Revolving Facility or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are US Base Rate Loans, any such interest also to be payable on demand; provided, however, that if the LC Issuer does not give the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower notice by 10:00 AM, such Applicable Reimbursement Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day and accordingly interest on the amount paid or disbursed by the LC Issuer shall not begin to accrue until such day.. If by 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately following the Applicable Reimbursement Date, the Company or the relevant LC Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or a contemporaneous Borrowing hereunder (if such Borrowing is otherwise available to the Company or such LC Obligor), (x) the Company, or if the LC Obligor is a Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower, such Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower, will in each case be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing for Revolving Loans that are US Base Rate Loans in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Global Agent shall promptly give notice to the Lenders of such deemed Notice of Borrowing), (y) the Lenders shall, unless they are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed Notice of Borrowing (which Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.02), and (z) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed directly to the applicable LC Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such reimbursement, with any excess proceeds to be made available to the applicable Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(ii) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each LC Obligor and of each Revolving Facility Borrower under this Section to reimburse each LC Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such Borrower or LC Obligor may have or have had against such LC Issuer, the Global Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that no Borrower (or LC Obligor) shall be obligated to reimburse an LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer.

(i) Revolving Facility LC Participations.

(i) Immediately upon each Revolving Facility LC Issuance, the LC Issuer of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (each a “Revolving Facility LC Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (a “Revolving Facility LC Participation”), to the extent of such Lender’s Funding Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to

the Global Agent for the account of the Lenders as provided in Section 2.11 and the Revolving Facility LC Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 2.11(d)), the obligations of the Borrowers (and any LC Obligor) under any LC Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing.

(ii) In determining whether to pay under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Revolving Facility LC Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an LC Issuer under or in connection with any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such LC Issuer any resulting liability.

(iii) In the event that an LC Issuer makes any payment under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower or LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.05(h) by way of a drawing under the Revolving Facility (as contemplated in such Section or otherwise, such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Global Agent, and the Global Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Facility LC Participant, of such failure, and each Revolving Facility LC Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such Revolving Facility LC Participant’s Funding Percentage of such payment in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency in which such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is denominated and in same day funds; provided, however, that no Revolving Facility LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Global Agent its Funding Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer. If the Global Agent so notifies any Revolving Facility LC Participant required to fund a payment under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Revolving Facility LC Participant shall make available to the Global Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer such Revolving Facility LC Participant’s Funding Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Revolving Facility LC Participant shall not have so made its Funding Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Global Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer, such Revolving Facility LC Participant agrees to pay to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving Facility LC Participant to make available to the Global Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its Funding Percentage of any payment under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Facility LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Funding Percentage of any payment under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Revolving Facility LC Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Facility LC Participant to make available to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other Revolving Facility LC Participant’s Funding Percentage of any such payment.

(iv) Whenever an LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation from an LC Obligor as to which the Global Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from the Revolving Facility LC Participants pursuant to subpart (iii) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the Global Agent and the Global Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving

Facility LC Participant that has paid its applicable Funding Percentage thereof, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Facility LC Participant’s applicable Payment Sharing Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Revolving Facility LC Participations, as and to the extent so received.

(v) The obligations of the Revolving Facility LC Participants to make payments to the Global Agent for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Revolving Facility Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

(B) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any LC Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Global Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary named in any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor may have against any applicable LC Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Revolving Facility Letter of Credit;

(C) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Revolving 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;

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

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

(vi) To the extent any LC Issuer is not indemnified by the Company or any LC Obligor, the Revolving Facility LC Participants will reimburse and indemnify such LC Issuer, in proportion to their respective Fixed Commitment Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such LC Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of Revolving Facility LC Issuances by it; provided, however, that no Revolving Facility LC Participants shall be liable for (A) any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the failure of any other Revolving Facility LC Participant to fund any Revolving Facility LC Participation pursuant to this Section.

Section 2.06 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Time of Notice. Each Borrowing of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below which shall be provided by the applicable Borrower to the Global Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan, 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office), at least three Business Days prior to the date of such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of any Borrowing under the Swing Line Facility, prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing.

(b) Notice of Borrowing. Each request for a Borrowing shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower requesting such Borrowing by delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and (iv) if applicable, the initial Interest Period, the Swing Loan Maturity Date and Designated Foreign Currency or Canadian Dollars applicable thereto. Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Global Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Global Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the applicable Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of such Borrower. In each such case, the Global Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Minimum Borrowing Amount. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by any Borrower shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

(d) Maximum Borrowings. More than one Borrowing may be incurred by a Borrower on any day; provided, however, that (i) if there are two or more Borrowings on a single day by the same Borrower that consist of Fixed Rate Loans, each such Borrowing shall have a different initial Interest Period, (ii) at no time shall there be more than twelve Borrowings of Fixed Rate Loans outstanding hereunder for all of the Borrowers, and (iii) at no time shall there be more than three Borrowings of Canadian Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder.

Section 2.07 Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds.

(a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations. The Commitments of each Lender hereunder and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans, acquire and fund Swing Loan Participations, and Revolving Facility LC Participations, as the case may be, are several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its Commitments hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b) Funding Obligations. Except with respect to the making of Swing Loans by the Swing Line Lender, all Loans hereunder shall be funded as follows: (i) all Revolving Loans made, and Revolving Facility LC Participations acquired by each Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Funding Percentage of the amount of such Revolving

Borrowing or Revolving Facility Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable Revolving Borrowing is to be made or the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued, and (ii) all Canadian Revolving Loans made by each Canadian Lender, shall be made on a pro rata basis based upon each Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Canadian Borrowing in effect on the date the applicable Canadian Borrowing is to be made.

(c) Notice to Lenders. The Global Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and LC Issuance, and of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or Revolving Facility LC Request, as the case may be, relating thereto.

(d) Funding of Loans.

(i) Revolving Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its Funding Amount, if any, of each Revolving Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Global Agent at the Payment Office in Dollars or the applicable Designated Foreign Currency and in immediately available funds and the Global Agent promptly will make available to the appropriate Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as such Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received.

(ii) Canadian Revolving Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Canadian Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Canadian Lender will make available its proportionate share, if any, of each Canadian Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Global Agent at the Canadian Payment Office in Canadian Dollars and in immediately available funds and the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent promptly will make available to the appropriate Canadian Borrower by depositing to its account at the Canadian Payment Office (or such other account in Canada as such Canadian Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received.

(iii) Swing Loans. No later than 3:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available to the Company by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Company shall specify) the aggregate of Swing Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing.

(e) Advance Funding. Unless the Global Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Global Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Global Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, as the case may be, on such date of Borrowing, and the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in their sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, as the case may be, by such Lender and the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent has made the same available to such Borrower, the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Global Agent’s demand therefor, the Global Agent shall promptly notify such Borrower, and such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, as appropriate. The Global Agent or the

Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, as applicable, shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent to such Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (y) if paid by such Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.09, for the respective Loans (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.02).

Section 2.08 Evidence of Obligations.

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

(b) Loan Accounts of Global Agent; Lender Register. The Global Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate and, in the case of a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, (ii) the amount and other details with respect to each Letter of Credit issued hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Global Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) the other details relating to the Loans and Letters of Credit to be made or issued hereunder. In addition, the Global Agent shall, for its benefit and on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.04 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders. The Global Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender or the Company upon its request. The Swiss Borrower may disclose a copy of the Lender Register to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (if requested by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration to do so).

(c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and (b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein, provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Global Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Notes. Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, (i) the Company will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, (ii) each Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, and (iii) the Company will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a Swing Line Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender to not request a Note shall in no way detract from any Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans and other amounts owing by such Borrower to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.

Section 2.09 Interest; Default Rate; Mandatory Cost.

(a) Interest on Revolving Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a US Base Rate Loan, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time, (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, a fixed rate per annum equal to the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, and (iii) during such periods as a Revolving Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan, a fixed rate per annum equal to the relevant Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate for such Foreign Currency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Interest on Canadian Revolving Loans. Each Canadian Prime Rate Loan made by each Canadian Lender shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time. Each BA Equivalent Loan made by each Canadian Lender shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to the BA Equivalent Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Interest on Swing Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto.

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if an Event of Default is in existence, upon written notice by the Global Agent (which notice the Global Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), (i) all outstanding amounts of principal and, to the extent permitted by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) the fees applicable to any Revolving Facility LC Outstandings shall be increased by an additional 2% per annum in excess of the fees otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any amount (other than amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable) payable by any Borrower under the Loan Documents is not paid when due, upon written notice by the Global Agent (which notice the Global Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to 2% per annum above the interest rate that is or would be applicable from time to time pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i) above.

(e) Accrual and Payment of Interest; Mandatory Costs. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the applicable Borrower: (i) in respect of each US Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each Canadian Prime Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (iii) in respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three months after the commencement of such Interest Period, (iv) in respect of any Swing Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, and (v) in respect of all Loans, on any repayment, prepayment, Continuation or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid, Continued or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity, on demand (each such date referred to in clauses (i) through (v), an “Interest Payment Date”). On each Interest Payment Date, the applicable Borrower shall pay all Mandatory Costs payable to each Lender, if any, provided that if a Lender does not provide such Borrower with notice of the Mandatory Costs owed to such Lender at least one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date, the Mandatory Costs payable to such Lender shall be payable on the next Interest Payment Date or the Credit Facility Termination Date, whichever is earlier.

(f) Computations of Interest and Discounts. All computations of interest on Fixed Rate Loans (other than BA Equivalent Loans and other than any Foreign Currency Loans denominated in British pounds) and Swing Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, all computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, all computations of the BA Equivalent Rate with respect to BA Equivalent Loans shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and all computations of interest on Foreign Currency Loans denominated in British pounds shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever interest to be paid on a Canadian Revolving Loan or a fee to be paid by the Canadian Borrower is to be calculated on the basis of a period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by such lesser period of time.

(g) Information as to Interest Rates. The Global Agent upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing shall promptly notify the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders thereof.

(h) Minimum Interest Rates and Payments.

(i) For purposes of the Revolving Facility, the various rates of interest provided for in this Agreement are minimum interest rates.

(ii) Each party hereto assumes that the interest rates set forth in this Agreement are not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that, in the event that Swiss Withholding Tax is imposed on interest payments (the “Relevant Amount”) by a Swiss Obligor, any payment of interest due by such Swiss Obligor shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be increased to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-refundable Portion of Swiss Withholding Tax) results in a payment to each Lender entitled to such payment of an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no deduction of the Non-refundable Portion of Swiss Withholding Tax been required.

(iii) For the purposes of this Section 2.09(h), “Non-refundable Portion of Swiss Withholding Tax” means an amount equal to the product of the Relevant Amount and the Swiss Withholding Tax at standard rate (being, as at the date of this Agreement, 35%) unless the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms to the relevant Swiss Obligor in writing that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the applicable Swiss Withholding Tax rate is a specified lower rate in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such Lender.

(iv) No Swiss Obligor shall be required to make an increased payment to any Lender under paragraph (ii) above if a Swiss Obligor has breached the Ten Non-Bank Regulations and/or Twenty Non-Bank Regulations as a result of (A) a Lender breaching its obligations pursuant to Section 3.03 (b) or (e), (B) a Lender breaching the requirements and limitations for transfers, assignments or participations pursuant to Sections 11.05(b), (c) or (f), (C) the failure of the statements in a Qualifying Certificate to be true and correct in all material respects, or (D) the failure of a Swiss Qualifying Lender to remain a Swiss Qualifying Lender other than due to a change in law.

(v) If requested by the Global Agent, the relevant Swiss Obligor shall provide to the Global Agent those documents that are required by law and applicable double taxation treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax, for each relevant Lender to prepare a claim for refund of

Swiss Withholding Tax. In the event Swiss Withholding Tax is refunded to the Lender by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, the relevant Lender shall forward, after deduction of reasonable costs in obtaining the refund, such amount to the Swiss Obligor provided that the relevant Swiss Obligor has fully complied with its obligations under this Section 2.09(h).

Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Facility Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan that can be made to it pursuant to the Revolving Facility and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, as the case may be, at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans (in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Foreign Currency Loan) with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that (A) no Foreign Currency Loan may be Converted into a US Base Rate Loan, Eurodollar Loan or a Foreign Currency Loan that is denominated in a different Designated Foreign Currency, and (B) any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans into US Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Conversion and Continuation of Canadian Revolving Loans. The Canadian Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Canadian Revolving Loans of one Type made to them into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan that can be made to them pursuant to the Canadian Sub-Facility and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of BA Equivalent Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of BA Equivalent Loans with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of BA Equivalent Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such BA Equivalent Loans.

(c) Notice of Continuation and Conversion. Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the applicable Borrower to the Global Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or Conversion into a Fixed Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office), at least three Business Days prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M.

Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the applicable Borrower delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new Interest Period. Without in any way limiting the obligation of each Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Global Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Global Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of such Borrower. In each such case, the Global Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the date or dates agreed to between the Company and such LC Issuer.

(e) Additional Charges of LC Issuer. The Company and each other Borrower, as applicable, agree to pay directly to each LC Issuer upon each LC Issuance, drawing under, or amendment, extension, renewal or transfer of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as shall at the time of such LC Issuance, drawing, amendment, extension, renewal or transfer be the processing charge that such LC Issuer is customarily charging for issuances of, drawings under or amendments, extensions, renewals or transfers of, letters of credit issued by it.

(iii) Revolving Facility LC Outstandings Exceed Commitment. If on any date (A) the Revolving Facility LC Outstandings exceed the Revolving Facility LC Commitment Amount as then in effect, then the applicable LC Obligor or the Company shall pay to the Global Agent an amount in cash equal to such excess and the Global Agent shall hold such payment as security for the reimbursement obligations of the applicable LC Obligors hereunder in respect of Revolving Facility Letters of Credit pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Company (which shall permit certain investments in Permitted Investments satisfactory to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Company until the proceeds are applied to the secured obligations).

(c) Particular Loans to be Prepaid. With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans required by this Section, the Borrower making such repayment or prepayment shall designate the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that (i) such Borrower shall first so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Fixed Rate Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Fixed Rate Loans for repayment or prepayment, (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of Fixed Rate Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall, in the case of Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent

Loans, be Converted into Base Rate Loans and, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, be repaid in full, and (iii) each repayment and prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.14(b). In the absence of a designation by a Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Global Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Article III.

(d) Breakage and Other Compensation. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Article III hereof.

Section 2.14 Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Generally. All payments made by any Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Loan Document, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

(b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, (i) all payments and prepayments of Loans (other than Swing Loans) and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Global Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders entitled thereto (based on each such Lender’s Payment Sharing Percentage at the time of such payment) to pay or prepay such Loans or Unpaid Drawings, (ii) all payments or prepayments of Swing Loans and payments of interest thereon shall be applied to pay or prepay such Swing Loans and unpaid interest thereon, (iii) all payments of Fees shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.11, and (iv) with respect to any other amounts, such amounts shall be distributed by the Global Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Payment of Obligations. Except as set forth in subpart (d) below, all payments under this Agreement with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to the Global Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and, except as set forth in the next sentence, shall be made in Dollars. With respect to any Foreign Currency Loan, all payments (including prepayments) to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Foreign Currency Loan shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Loan and with respect to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit issued in a Designated Foreign Currency, all Unpaid Drawings with respect to each such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency in which each such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit was issued, unless the applicable LC Issuer agrees otherwise.

(d) Canadian Obligations. All payments under this Agreement with respect to the Canadian Obligations shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Canadian Payment Office) on the date when due and shall be made at the Canadian Payment Office in immediately available funds and in Canadian Dollars.

(e) Timing of Payments. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Payment Office or the Canadian Payment Office, as the case may be) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(f) Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Global Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Global Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, its ratable share (as determined in accordance with subpart (b) above), if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the Global Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Global Agent in any Designated Foreign Currency

or Canadian Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, in such Designated Foreign Currency or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, in same day funds; provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Global Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unpaid Drawings, interest and Fees then due hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due to such parties.

Section 2.15 Authority of Company; Liability of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) Authority of the Company. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Company to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers (including, but not limited to, requesting a Loan or Letter of Credit for such Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers hereunder) and perform such duties as such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower could exercise on its own (which the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, do), together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, with all such actions by the Company that purport to be on behalf of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower being sufficient, without any further action or authorization by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, to bind such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. The Global Agent, the Lenders and each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely upon all statements, certificates, notices, consents, affidavits, letters, cablegrams, telegrams, facsimile transmissions, electronic transmissions, e-mails, telex or teletype messages, orders or other documents or conversations furnished or made by the Company pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, as being made or furnished on behalf of, and with the effect of irrevocably binding, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, without any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the authority of the Company in so doing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Global Agent, the Lenders and each LC Issuer may also rely on or act in accordance with directions or instructions coming directly from any such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

(b) Foreign Revolving Facility Borrowers. The parties intend that this Agreement shall in all circumstances be interpreted to provide that each Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower is liable only for Loans made to such Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower, interest on such Loans, such Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit issued for its account and its ratable share of any of the other Obligations, including, without limitation, general fees, reimbursements and charges hereunder and under any other Loan Document that are attributable to it. The liability of any Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower for the payment of any of the Obligations or the performance of its covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be several from but not joint with the Obligations of any other Borrower. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit, nor shall it be deemed to limit, any of the liability of the Company for any of the Obligations, whether in its primary capacity as a Borrower, pursuant to its guaranty obligations set forth in Article X, at law or otherwise.

Section 2.16 Eligibility and Addition/Release of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) No Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers as of the Closing Date. The parties hereto acknowledge that there are no Foreign Revolving Facility Borrowers and is no Canadian Borrower as of the Closing Date and, as such, no Foreign Subsidiary of the Company shall be permitted to request or receive the proceeds of any Borrowing nor shall any Letter of Credit be issued for its account until such time as one or

more Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers or a Canadian Borrower are added as Borrowers in accordance with the provisions hereof and of Section 5.02.

(b) Eligibility of Foreign Subsidiaries. At any time, at the request of the Company, (i) a Schedule 5 Foreign Subsidiary or, (ii) with the consent of the Global Agent and the Lenders, a Foreign Subsidiary organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction, may become a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, provided that (i) only a Foreign Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof may become the Canadian Borrower and no Foreign Subsidiary organized under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof may become a Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower; (ii) prior to becoming a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, the Company has provided to the Global Agent a written request signed by the Company and such Foreign Subsidiary, that such Foreign Subsidiary be designated as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) such Foreign Subsidiary shall be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company; (iv) the Company and such Foreign Subsidiary shall have satisfied the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02; (v) other than with respect to a Schedule 5 Foreign Subsidiary, the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder shall not result in withholding tax liability or other adverse tax consequences or adverse legal impact to the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder or would result in the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender not being a Qualifying Lender; (vi) with respect to a Schedule 5 Foreign Subsidiary, the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder shall not result in withholding tax liability or other adverse tax consequences or adverse legal impact to the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder or would result in the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender not being a Qualifying Lender, provided that any failure to satisfy the foregoing conditions in this subclause (vi) shall result solely from a change in law occurring after the Closing Date; (vii) other than with respect to a Schedule 5 Foreign Subsidiary, at the time of the request by the Company that such Foreign Subsidiary be added as Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and after giving effect to the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, each Lender shall be a Qualifying Lender and no Event of Default shall exist or begin to exist; and (viii) with respect to a Schedule 5 Foreign Subsidiary, at the time of the request by the Company that such Foreign Subsidiary be added as Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and after giving effect to the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, each Lender shall be a Qualifying Lender (provided that a failure of a Lender to be a Qualifying Lender shall result solely from a change in law occurring after the Closing Date) and no Event of Default shall exist or begin to exist.

(c) Notification to Lenders. Upon satisfaction by the Company and any Foreign Subsidiary of the requirements set forth in subpart (b) above, and the Global Agent’s satisfaction that the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder is appropriately documented pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Global Agent shall promptly notify the Company, such Foreign Subsidiary and the Lenders thereof, and shall notify the Lenders whether such Foreign Subsidiary is the Canadian Borrower or a Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower, whereupon such Foreign Subsidiary shall be designated a “Foreign Subsidiary Borrower” pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such Foreign Subsidiary shall become bound by all representations, warranties, covenants, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document applicable to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers as if such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower had been the original party making such representations, warranties and covenants.

(d) Release of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers. Upon written request of the Company and any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may be released as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, so long as (i) such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower does not have any Credit Facility Exposure owing to any Lender at such time and has paid all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any, owing by it, and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist or immediately thereafter shall begin to exist. No such release shall be effective until confirmed by the Global Agent to the Company, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and the Lenders in writing, which the Global Agent agrees to do forthwith upon satisfaction of

the preceding clauses (i) and (ii). The Lenders hereby authorize the Global Agent to release such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this subpart and agree that the Global Agent may execute and deliver such documents or agreements as the Global Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection therewith. No release of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall affect the Company’s obligations under Article X of this Agreement or any other Credit Party’s obligations under the Domestic Credit Party Guaranty.

Section 2.17 Increase in Credit Facility.

(a) The Company may, by written notice to the Global Agent from time to time, request that the Total Facility Commitment be increased by an amount not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount at such time. Upon the approval of such request by the Global Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Global Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Lender with a Facility Commitment. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase in the Total Facility Commitment (which shall be in minimum increments of $25,000,000 and a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be on or prior to the Credit Facility Termination Date), and shall offer each such Lender the opportunity to increase its Facility Commitment by its Fixed Commitment Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each such Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Global Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Global Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Facility Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each such Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Facility Commitment (and any such Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Facility Commitment, and each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10^th day after the Global Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Facility Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Total Facility Commitment requested by the Company, the Company may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity referred to in this clause being an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Facility Commitments or increase their existing Facility Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided that each Augmenting Revolving Lender, if not already a Lender with a Facility Commitment hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Global Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Company and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Global Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Facility Commitment and/or its status as a Lender with a Facility Commitment hereunder. Any increase in the Total Facility Commitment may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Company if the Company is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Global Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any increase in the Total Facility Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.17, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Lenders with Facility Commitments in accordance with their new Fixed Commitment Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Global Agent (w) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings, (x) by causing Non-Increasing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Revolving Lenders and Augmenting Revolving Lenders, (y) by permitting the Revolving Borrowings outstanding at the time of any increase in the Total Facility Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.17 to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the Lenders would hold such Revolving Borrowings other than in accordance with their new Fixed Commitment Percentages,

or (z) by any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to eliminate any break funding liability to any Borrower, if, upon the date of any increase in the Total Facility Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.17, there is an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding to the Borrower, the principal outstanding amount of all such Revolving Loans shall (A) in the case of such Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans, be immediately prepaid by the Borrower (but all such Revolving Loans may, on the terms and conditions, be reborrowed on such date on a pro rata basis, based on the revised Commitments as then in effect) and (B) in the case of such Revolving Loans which are Eurodollar Loans, continue to remain outstanding (notwithstanding any other requirement in this Agreement that such Revolving Loans be held on a pro rata basis based on the revised Commitments as then in effect) until the end of the then current Interest Period therefore, at which time such Eurodollar Loans shall be paid by the Borrower (but all such Revolving Loans may, on the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed on such date on a pro rata basis, based on the Commitments as then in effect). Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be without premium or penalty.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Total Facility Commitment (or in the Facility Commitment of any Lender) or addition of a new Lender shall become effective under this Section 2.17 unless, (x) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 shall be satisfied and the Global Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company, and (y) the Global Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Lenders with Facility Commitments) legal opinions, board resolutions and an officer’s certificate consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.01.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Global Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Fixed Rate Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Fixed Rate Loan; or

(ii) subject to Sections 2.09(h) and 3.03 and clauses (d), (e) and (f) below, at any time, that such Lender has incurred increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material with respect to any Fixed Rate Loans (other than any Excluded Taxes) because of any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request, or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to this Agreement) (“Increased Costs”); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Fixed Rate Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any change since the Closing Date in any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the

Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market or the Canadian commercial banking market;

then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Global Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (x) on or promptly following such date or time and (y) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Company and to the Global Agent of such determination (which notice the Global Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Type of Fixed Rate Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Global Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Global Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by any Borrower with respect to such Type of Fixed Rate Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the applicable Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing other than a Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, shall, at the option of such Borrower, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall reasonably determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender, for such increased costs or reductions described in clause (ii) above in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable and giving reasonable details of the circumstances giving rise to such claim, submitted to such Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, such Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower may (and in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) such Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Global Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that such Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing other than a Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Global Agent, require the affected Lender to Convert each such Fixed Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan or, in the case of a Foreign Currency Loan, prepay in full such Foreign Currency Loan; provided, however, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).

(c) Subject to clauses (d), (e) and (f) below and with respect to Fixed Rate Loans only, if any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then

from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Global Agent), the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Borrower(s), which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail and giving reasonable details of the circumstances giving rise to such claim, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of such Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Lender shall be entitled to compensation or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 for any amounts incurred or accruing more than 120 days prior to the giving of notice to the applicable Borrower of additional costs or other amounts of the nature described in such Sections, (ii) no Lender shall demand compensation for any reduction referred to in Section 3.01(c) or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.04 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation, payment or reimbursement in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements and (iii) for purposes of amounts borrowed by the Canadian Borrower, no Lender shall be entitled to additional amounts under Section 3.01 to the extent that such Lender fails to deal with the Canadian Borrower on an arm’s length basis within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 for any amounts to the extent any such amount or increased cost is attributable to the implementation or application of, or compliance with, the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework” published by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 or any other law or regulation which implements Basle II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Lender or any of its Affiliates).

(f) Section 3.01 does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is attributable to the breach by the relevant Lender or its Affiliates of any law, rule or regulation, or a failure by the relevant Lender or its Affiliates to make any required filing with any regulatory authority.

Section 3.02 Breakage Compensation. Each Borrower shall compensate each applicable Lender (including the Swing Line Lender), upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Fixed Rate Loans or Swing Loans and costs associated with foreign currency hedging obligations incurred by such Lender in connection with any Fixed Rate Loan, but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on such Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the foregoing: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Global Agent) a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans or Swing Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by such Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.01(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any of its Fixed Rate Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or any Swing Loan is paid prior to the Swing Loan Maturity Xxxx applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Fixed Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by such Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05(b); or (v) as a consequence of (x) any other default by such Borrower to repay or prepay its Fixed Rate Loans when

required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to Section 3.05(b). The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section (and a reasonable level of detail as to the basis of calculation of such amounts) shall be delivered to the Company and each other Borrower responsible therefor and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 3.03 Net Payments.

(a) All payments made by each Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Loan Document, and all payments made by the Company pursuant to its guaranty obligations under Article X, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any (A) franchise tax (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of a Lender pursuant to (i) the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or the Domestic Lending Office or Foreign Lending Office of such Lender, as applicable, is located or any subdivision thereof or therein or (ii) the laws of any jurisdiction as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document) and (B) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (A) above (all such taxes described in this parenthetical, as modified by the proviso at the end of the succeeding sentence, being referred to collectively as “Excluded Taxes”)), and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-Excluded Taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-Excluded Taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the applicable Borrower agrees to pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note or in such other Loan Document; provided, however, that to the extent that any such payment, on the date that such payment falls due, could have been made without any such deduction or withholding if such payment were made to a Qualifying Lender, but the Lender to which such payment is made has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change in law occurring after the date of this Agreement, then such Borrower shall not be required to pay such additional amounts attributable to such Lender’s failure to be a Qualifying Lender. Each Qualifying Lender whose qualifying status is based upon a double tax treaty, or a relevant tax law in a jurisdiction of the relevant Borrower, shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities (including, without limitation, the completion and provision of the Internal Revenue Service Forms, the Withholding Certificate and an Exemption Certificate (if applicable) as described in Section 3.03(b)) necessary to obtain such Qualifying Lender status and shall promptly inform the Borrowers and the Global Agent of any change affecting its Qualifying Lender status. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the sentence before the preceding sentence, such Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, within 15 Business Days of a written request of such Lender for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender by reason of the payment of such Taxes and net of any tax benefits received by such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or Domestic Lending Office or Foreign Lending Office of such Lender is located, as the case may be, or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which the principal office or the Domestic Lending Office or Foreign Lending Office of such Lender is located, as the case may be, and for any withholding of taxes

measured by net income imposed by any relevant jurisdiction of the Borrowers, the United States of America or, in the case of any Canadian Lender, Canada as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence, which request shall be accompanied by a statement from such Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the computations used in determining such amounts. Each Borrower will furnish to the Global Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes, or any withholding or deduction on account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the respective Lender, evidencing such payment by such Borrower. Each Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Global Agent and each Lender, and reimburse the Global Agent or such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes attributable to such Borrower so levied or imposed and paid or withheld by such Lender.

(b) (i) Each Lender that becomes a Lender on the Closing Date shall be a Qualifying Lender. Each Lender and Participant agrees to provide to the Company and the Global Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Participant or a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.05 (unless the respective Lender or Participant was already a Lender or Participant hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender or Participant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section), prior to the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender or Participant, and from time to time thereafter if required by the Company or the Global Agent: (1) either (x) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms X-0, X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8IMY (or successor, substitute or other appropriate forms) certifying to such Lender’s or Participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of withholding from, United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, or (y) in the case of a Lender or Participant that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States or a state therein and is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (any such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”) and an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or, in either case, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or Participant claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments by the Borrowers made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (any such certificate, a “Witholding Certificate”), executed by an authorized officer of such Lender and other appropriate documentation certifying to such Lender’s or Participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or rate of, withholding tax under the relevant tax law (as modified by any relevant double tax treaty) in each relevant jurisdiction of the Borrowers with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document and (3) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J (any such certificate, a “Qualifying Certificate”), executed by an authorized officer of such Lender or Participant, certifying to such Lender’s or Participant’s status as a Swiss Qualifying Lender. In addition, each Lender and Participant agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Company and the Global Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form, an Exemption Certificate (if applicable), a Withholding Certificate and a Qualifying Certificate and related documentation, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender or Participant to a continued exemption from, or rate of, withholding tax in each relevant jurisdiction of the Borrower with respect to payments under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document.

(ii) Each Lender and Participant that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of the jurisdiction under which a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated or organized or is not a

resident for taxation purposes of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower’s country of tax residence, shall deliver to the Global Agent, the Company, and the applicable Governmental Authority (if required), prior to the date such Lender or Participant becomes a Lender or Participant under this Agreement, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or a Note to the Lender may be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding tax imposed on such payment under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated or organized or is otherwise a resident for taxation purposes.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.03(a), but subject to Section 11.05(c) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) each Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by each relevant jurisdiction of the Borrowers (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender that has not provided to the Company such Internal Revenue Service Forms, Exemption Certificate (if applicable) and Withholding Certificate and related documentation that establish a complete exemption from withholding and (y) no Borrower shall be obligated pursuant to Section 3.03(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of Taxes of such Lender or any additional amounts with respect thereto (A) if such Lender (or related Participant) has not provided to the Company the Internal Revenue Service Forms or statement required to be provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.03(b), (B) if the Company has been provided a Withholding Certificate from such Lender (or related Participant) providing for a zero rate of withholding tax under the relevant tax law in each relevant jurisdiction of the Borrowers with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement, which Withholding Certificate has proven to be inaccurate, (C) if the Lender was not a Qualifying Lender on the date that it became a Lender under this Agreement, or (D) to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 3.03 and except as specifically provided for in Section 11.05(c), each Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 3.03(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in the previous sentence as a result of any changes after the date that such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes.

(c) If (i) a Lender or the Global Agent is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification has been paid by any Borrower pursuant to this Section or Section 11.01 and (ii) such Lender or the Global Agent, in its sole opinion, reasonably determines the amount of such refund, net of any costs incurred in pursuing such refund, is material, it shall make a timely claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund. If any Lender, in its sole opinion, reasonably determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid as to which indemnification has been paid by any Borrower pursuant to this Section, or Section 11.01, it shall promptly remit to such Borrower such refund (including any interest received in respect thereof), net of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in obtaining the refund; provided, however, that such Borrower agrees to promptly return any such refund (including any interest received in respect thereof) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Any such Lender shall provide such Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any unrelated confidential information contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund. Nothing contained herein shall impose an obligation on any Lender to apply for any such refund.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of payments made by any Canadian Borrower, no Lender shall be entitled to additional amounts under Section 3.03 to

the extent that such Lender fails to deal with such Canadian Borrower on an arm’s length basis within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

(e) Swiss Borrower.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.03(a), for purposes of interest payments made by a Swiss Obligor, no Lender shall be entitled to additional amounts under Section 3.03, or to an indemnity, or may claim an increased interest rate other than to the extent permitted under Section 2.09(h), if the Swiss Obligor had to make a withholding or deduction for or on account of Swiss withholding taxes as a result of an assignment by a Lender pursuant to Section 11.05(c) to one or more Eligible Assignees that are not Swiss Qualifying Lenders or the grant of a participation to a Person who is not a Swiss Qualifying Lender (unless such participation would qualify as a Qualifying Participation).

(ii) Subject to Section 2.09(h), in the case of a tax deduction due to the application of Swiss Withholding Tax, if a tax deduction is required by law to be made by the Swiss Borrower or any other Credit Party, the amount of the payment due from the Swiss Borrower or such Credit Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any tax deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no tax deduction had been required.

(iii) Neither the Swiss Borrower nor any other Credit Party is required to make an increased payment to a Lender under clause (ii) above for a tax deduction in respect of Tax imposed by the Swiss Borrower or such Credit Party’s relevant jurisdiction from a payment, if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A) the tax deduction is on account of Swiss Withholding Tax and the relevant Lender is compensated for by an increased payment under paragraph Section 2.09(h)(ii); or

(B) the tax deduction is on account of Swiss Withholding Tax and the relevant Lender would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.09(h)(ii), but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 2.09(h)(iv) applied.

(iv) Each Lender that is a Swiss Qualifying Lender represents, warrants and undertakes that for as long as any Loan under the Revolving Facility is outstanding, it is and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to qualify as a Swiss Qualifying Lender. Any Lender that ceases to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender shall promptly notify the Company that it has ceased to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender. If as a result of such event the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Lenders under the Revolving Facility exceeds ten, the Company, without limiting any of its rights under Section 2.09(h)(iv), shall have the right to request that the respective Lender assigns or transfers by novation all of its rights and obligations under the Revolving Facility to a new Lender qualifying as a Swiss Qualifying Lender or another existing Lender qualifying as a Swiss Qualifying Lender, all in accordance with Section 11.05(c) and Section 11.05(f).

Section 3.04 Increased Costs to LC Issuers. Subject to Section 3.01(e) above, if after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any LC Issuer or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against

Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer or such Lender’s participation therein, or (ii) shall impose on such LC Issuer or any Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such LC Issuer or such Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such LC Issuer or such Lender hereunder (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges), then, within 15 days after demand to the applicable Borrowers by such LC Issuer or such Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Global Agent), each such Borrower shall pay to such LC Issuer or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate any such LC Issuer or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to such Borrower by any LC Issuer or any Lender, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Global Agent), setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate any LC Issuer or such Lender as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on such Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish any of such Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section. The obligation of a Borrower to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.04 does not apply to the extent any such increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable by an LC Issuer or a Lender is attributable to the breach by the relevant LC Issuer, Lender or an Affiliate of the relevant claimant of any law, rule or regulation, or a failure by the relevant LC Issuer, Lender or its Affiliate of the relevant claimant to make any required filing with any regulatory authority.

Section 3.05 Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 3.01(c), Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Domestic Lending Office or Foreign Lending Office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Domestic Lending Office or Foreign Lending Office, as the case may be, suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), 3.01(c) or Section 3.04 with respect to such Lender, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender refused to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Company that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Company may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Global Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.05(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, is not subject to any Taxes, which Eligible Assignee shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (x) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Global Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 3.02 hereof), and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required to be made under Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), (c) or Section 3.04 with respect to such Lender, or resulting from any required payments

to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of an unconditional and irrevocable waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) Nothing in this Section 3.05 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the right of any Lender provided in Section 3.01, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04.

ARTICLE IV

The Parent and the Company represent and warrant to each of the Lenders, LC Issuers and the Global Agent that:

Section 4.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Parent, the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

Section 4.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company, the Parent and the other Credit Parties of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowing of Loans, the use of the proceeds thereof and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder (collectively, the “Transactions”) are within such Credit Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Parent, the Company and each other Credit Party party hereto and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Credit Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Credit Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Parent, the Company or such Credit Party (as the case may be), enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture or other agreement for borrowed money or under any other material agreement binding upon any of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any material asset of any of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 4.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

(a) The Company has furnished to the Global Agent and the Lenders complete and correct copies of the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of February 2, 2008 and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash

flows of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the Parent then ended, accompanied by the report thereon of PricewaterhouseCoopers. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present the financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates indicated and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated, subject in the case of any such financial statements that are unaudited, to normal audit adjustments, none of which will involve a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent and its Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date of the latest financial statements referred to above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans or LC Issuances hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP and that in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition or prospects of the Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(b) The financial projections of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years 2008 through 2012 prepared by the Parent and delivered to the Global Agent and the Lenders (the “Financial Projections”) were prepared on behalf of the Parent in good faith after taking into account historical levels of business activity of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, known trends, including general economic trends, and all other information, assumptions and estimates considered by management of the Parent and its Subsidiaries to be pertinent thereto; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic conditions or as to whether the Parent’s projected consolidated results as set forth in the Financial Projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the periods covered by the Financial Projections may differ materially from the Financial Projections. No facts are known to the Parent or the Company as of the Closing Date which, if reflected in the Financial Projections, would result in a material adverse change in the assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows reflected therein.

(a) Each of the Parent, the Company and the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for defects in title that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

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

Section 4.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting any of the Parent, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that expressly contest the validity of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Parent, the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

(c) There has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Parent, the Company and the Subsidiaries holds all necessary foreign, federal, state, local and other governmental licenses, registrations, certifications, permits and authorizations necessary to conduct its business and is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property (including any law, regulation, or list of any Governmental Authority including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list, Executive Order No. 13224 or the USA Patriot Act, that prohibits or limits the conduct of business with or the receiving of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of certain Persons specified therein or that prohibits or limits any Lender or LC Issuer from making any advance or extension of credit to any Borrower or from otherwise conducting business with any Borrower) and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries have established on their books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes, assessments, remittances, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by GAAP. Neither the Parent nor any Borrower knows of any proposed assessment for additional federal, foreign or state or provincial taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, which, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as the Parent and its Subsidiaries have made, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10 ERISA. Compliance by the Parent and the Borrowers with the provisions hereof and Credit Events contemplated hereby will not involve any Prohibited Transaction. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries, (i) have fulfilled all obligations under minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) have satisfied all respective contribution obligations in respect of each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) are in compliance with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) have not incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA to the PBGC with respect to any Plan, any Multiemployer

Plan, any Multiple Employer Plan, or any trust established thereunder, except where the incurrence of such liability could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there have been no Reportable Events, with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, which termination or Reportable Event will or could result in the termination of such Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan and give rise to a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Parent, the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan. Neither the Parent, the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any material contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed to the Global Agent and the Lenders in writing. Neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary of the Parent maintains, in respect of employment in Canada, either (i) any defined benefit registered pension plan or (ii) any retiree welfare benefits plans for employees.

Section 4.11 Disclosure. The reports, financial statements, certificates and other information furnished by or on behalf of the Parent , any Borrower or any other Credit Party to the Global Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), taken as a whole, do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

Section 4.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.12 sets forth the name of, and the ownership interest of the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries in, and of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in, each Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date.

Section 4.13 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

(a) The proceeds of all Loans and LC Issuances shall be utilized to provide working capital and funds for general corporate purposes (including for letters of credit, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments), in each case, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Event will be used directly or indirectly to purchase or carry Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Parent, the Company or of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock.

Section 4.14 Insurance. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries maintains insurance coverage by such insurers and in such forms and amounts and against such risks as are generally consistent with industry standards and in each case in compliance with the terms of Section 6.04.

Section 4.15 Material Contracts. Neither the Parent, the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in breach of any of its obligations under any contract, agreement, document or instrument, in each case to the extent any such default or event of default could reasonably to expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Canadian Sub-Facility.

such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Canadian Lenders an interest in the Canadian Obligations to such Canadian Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Canadian Lenders in such amount.

(iii) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subparts (i) or (ii) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.

The Global Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, e-mail or other electronic transmission, facsimile transmission, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Global Agent. The Global Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Global Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as applicable, as to any matter that, pursuant to Section 11.11, can only be effectuated with the consent of all Lenders, or all Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as the case may be), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Global Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Global Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Global Agent receives such a notice, the Global Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Global Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Global Agent shall have received such directions, the Global Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 9.06 Non-Reliance. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Global Agent nor any of its Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Global Agent hereinafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Global Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Global Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Global Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Global Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries. The Global Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial and other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that may come into the possession of the Global Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 9.07 No Reliance on Global Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, Participants or assignees, may rely on the Global Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, Participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

Section 9.08 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or Participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Global Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations, within 10 days after the Closing Date at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

Section 9.09 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Global Agent and its Related Parties as such ratably according to their respective Fixed Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Global Agent or such Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Global Agent or such Related Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing are not paid by the Borrowers; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Global Agent or any of its Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Global Agent’s or such Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Global Agent or any such Related Parties for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Global Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Global Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

Section 9.10 The Global Agent in Individual Capacity. The Global Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Company, and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though not acting as Global Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, the Global Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Global Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Global Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.11 Successor Global Agent. The Global Agent may resign at any time upon not less than 30 days notice to the Lenders, each LC Issuer and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Global Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Global Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each LC Issuer, appoint a successor Global Agent; provided, however, that if the Global Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Global Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any cash collateral held by the Global Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Global Agent shall continue to hold such cash collateral until such time as a successor Global Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Global Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Global Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Global Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Global Agent, and the retiring Global Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Global Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Global Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Global 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 the retiring Global Agent was acting as Global Agent.

Section 9.12 Other Agents. Any Lender identified herein as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Managing Agent, Manager, Co-Lead Arranger, Arranger or any other corresponding title, other than “Global Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.

Upon failure by any Credit Party to pay punctually any of the Company Guarantee Obligations, the Company shall forthwith on demand by the Global Agent pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

Section 10.02 Additional Undertaking. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, the Company unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors that, should any amounts not be recoverable from the Company under Section 10.01 for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by any Lender, the Global Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other person, at any time, the Company as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Global Agent, will make payment to the Global Agent, for the account of the Benefited Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Loan Documents or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

Section 10.03 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under this Article shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any of the following:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to any Company Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation;

(c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any Company Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation;

(d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations; or

(g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a Subsidiary’s obligations under the Domestic Credit Party Guaranty or the Company’s obligations under this Article other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Company Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.04 Company Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Company’s obligations under this Article shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Company Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Company, any other Credit Party or other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, the Company’s obligations under this Article with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10.05 Waiver of Acceptance, etc. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any guaranty of any other Person.

Section 10.06 Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, the Company shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this Article to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof.

Section 10.07 Effect of Stay. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any Company Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company

Guaranteed Obligation shall nonetheless be payable by the Company under this Article forthwith on demand by the Global Agent.

ARTICLE XI

Section 11.02 Indemnification. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Global Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers, each Lender and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses reasonably incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Lender is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, other than any such investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of transactions solely between any of the Lenders, the Global Agent or the Co-Lead Arrangers, transactions solely involving the assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its Loans and Commitments, or the granting of participations therein, as provided in this Agreement, or arising solely out of any examination of a Lender by any regulatory or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, if the Company or any such Subsidiary could have or is alleged to have any responsibility in respect thereof, the non-compliance of any such Real Property with foreign, federal, state, provincial, territorial, municipal and local laws, regulations and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable thereto, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in respect of any such Real Property, including, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified or of any other Indemnitee who is such Person or an

Affiliate of such Person). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall only be required to indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section to the extent that any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses have been caused by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or are otherwise directly related or attributable to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of such Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the applicable Borrowers after any such set off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

The Global Agent or the Company may, in their discretion, agree in a separate writing to accept notices and other communications to them hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), and, provided, further, that any assignment or participation by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effected in accordance with this Section.

(b) Participations. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to an Eligible Assignee (a “Participant”), provided that in the case of any such participation,

(i) the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto),

(ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (w) increase the Maximum Credit Facility Amount, other than pursuant to Section 2.17, extend the final scheduled maturity of the Loans in which such Participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such Participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Commitment), (x) release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans, Revolving Facility LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption; provided, however, that

(A) except in the case (x) of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than $5,000,000;

(B) no Lender that is a Canadian Lender (whether directly or by its Canadian Lending Installation) may (i) at any time prior to the Equalization Date, assign any portion of its Facility Commitment (including the outstanding Revolving Loans made by it thereunder) without also assigning to the same Eligible Assignee (or the Canadian Lending Installation of such Eligible Assignee) a proportionate amount of the Canadian Commitment (and the outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans made by it thereunder) of such Lender (or the Canadian Lending Installation of such Lender), (ii) at any time prior to the Equalization Date, assign any portion of its Canadian Commitment (and the outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans made by it thereunder) without also assigning to the same Eligible Assignee (or the Canadian Lending Installation of such Eligible Assignee) a proportionate amount of its Facility Commitment (including the outstanding Revolving Loans made by it thereunder) of such Lender (or the Canadian Lending Installation of such Lender), or (iii) assign any

portion of its Canadian Commitment to an Eligible Assignee who is (or whose Canadian Lending Installation is) not a resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) for the purposes of the withholding tax provisions in Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as who is not an “authorized foreign bank” as defined in Section 2 of the Bank Act (Canada) unless such Person’s lending activities are not regulated by the Bank Act (Canada);

(C) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at the time of any such assignment the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders;

(D) upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments; and

(E) unless waived by the Global Agent, the Global Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500.

(ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments.

(iii) Prior to each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c) to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Company and the Global Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms and a Withholding Certificate (and, if applicable an Exemption Certificate) described in Section 3.03(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to this subpart (c) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 3.01 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Global Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Global Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Global Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption pursuant to this subpart (c).

(v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, or (B) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state.

(e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represent that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject to the preceding Section 11.05(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

(f) Provisions Regarding Swiss Qualifying Lenders.

(i) A grant of a participation pursuant to Section 11.05(b) or an assignment pursuant to Section 11.05(c) will only be effective if, in case of the grant of a participation or an assignment in relation to the Revolving Facility (excluding Qualifying Participations), the new Lender or Participant makes the representations in the Qualifying Certificate to the Company as to whether it is a Swiss Qualifying Lender (or whether the participation is a Qualifying Participation) on the date of such participation or assignment, and if it represents that it is a Swiss Qualifying Lender and if such new Lender or Participant is not incorporated in a country which is a member of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development at such time, the Company has the right prior to the transfer to request that such new Lender or Participant provide to it a written confirmation signed by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration that it is a bank in accordance with the explanatory note of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration No. S-02.123(9.86), as amended from time to time. If the new Lender or Participant is not a Swiss Qualifying Lender, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company has the right, prior to the transfer, not to approve such Lender as a Lender or Participant, and such failure to so approve of such Lender or Participant shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.

(ii) An assigning Lender must ensure that, when assigning any or all of its rights and benefits under the Revolving Facility, or transferring all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations under the Revolving Facility or entering into a participation in relation to the Revolving Facility, the total number of creditors and/or Participants (other than Swiss Qualifying Lenders or Participants who have Qualifying Participations) under (A) the Revolving Facility shall not at any time exceed the number of ten, in accordance with the Ten Non-Bank Regulations and (B) the Revolving Facility shall not at any time exceed 20, which when added with any other lenders under any other interest bearing loan facility (other than short term borrowings) who are Swiss Non-Qualifying Lenders shall not exceed 20 in accordance with the Twenty Non-Bank Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of clause (B) above, each Lender may assume that no Swiss Obligor has any other interest bearing loan facility with lenders (other than Lenders or Participants hereunder) who are not Swiss Qualifying Lenders, and if the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Lenders exceeds 20 solely as a result of Swiss Non-Qualifying Lenders under any other interest bearing loan facility, no Lender shall have any liability for indemnity to any other Person.

(iii) In the event that a Lender enters into an assignment, transfer or participation in breach of Section 11.03(f)(ii):

(A) such assignment, transfer or participation shall not be valid and effective towards the other Lenders and the Credit Parties (including the Swiss Borrower); and

(B) the assignee and assignor Lender shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each of the other Lenders and, if applicable, the Borrowers, for any damages or losses any of them may incur as a result of such assignment, transfer or participation, which losses may include, but shall not be limited to, any increased costs to other Lenders hereunder pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.03, which would not become payable but for such assignment, transfer or participation.

(iv) Any Lender which enters into an assignment, transfer or Qualifying Participation in relation to the Revolving Facility shall ensure that:

(A) the terms of such assignment, transfer or participation agreement prohibit the new Lender or Participant from entering into further assignment, transfer or participation agreements (in relation to the rights between it and such Lender) and assigning or granting any interest over the assignment, transfer or participation agreement, except in each case to a person who is a Swiss Qualifying Lender;

(B) the new Lender or Participant enters into a unilateral undertaking in favor of each Lender and the Swiss Borrower to abide by the terms included in the assignment, transfer or participation agreement to reflect sub-paragraph (A) above;

(C) the terms of such assignment, transfer or participation agreement oblige the new Lender or Participant, in respect of any further assignment, transfer or participation, to include a term identical to the provisions of this Section mutatis mutandis, including a requirement that any further new Lender or sub-participant, assignee or grantee enters into such undertaking; and

(D) the identity of the new Lender or Participant is permitted to be disclosed to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration by the Swiss Borrower (if requested by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration to do so).

Section 11.06 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Global Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Global Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Global Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or any LC Issuance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Global Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Global Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

Section 11.07 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, or of the United States for the Northern District of Ohio, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Global Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 11.07(a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING), OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

(D) reduce the amount of any Unpaid Drawing as to which any Lender is a Revolving Facility LC Participant or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of, or excuse the payment of, interest thereon (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), without the written consent of such Lender; or

(E) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of, or excuse the payment of, any Fees to which any Lender is entitled hereunder, without the written consent of such Lender; and

All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Article III (subject to the limitations set forth Section 3.01(d)), Section 9.09 or Section 11.02 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, including any Canadian Lending Installation; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.

Section 11.14 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to those of its Affiliates that may become a Lender hereunder or that provide or may provide services to the Company (or any of its Affiliates), and any of such Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents with a need to know such Confidential Information (in the Global Agent’s, each LC Issuer’s and each Lender’s reasonable discretion), including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential according to the terms hereof), (ii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor, so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iv) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (v) to any other party to this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (viii) with the consent of the Company, or (ix) to the extent such Confidential Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this

Section, or (B) becomes available to the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party and not otherwise in violation of this Section, provided such source does not, to the knowledge of the Global Agent, an L/C Issuer or a Lender, as applicable, or their respective Affiliates, have an obligation of confidentiality to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information received from the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their businesses, other than any such information that (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.14, or (B) becomes available to the Global Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party and not otherwise in violation of this Section 11.14, provided such source does not, to the knowledge of the Global Agent, an L/C Issuer or a Lender, as applicable, or their respective Affiliates, have an obligation of confidentiality to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential 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 Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Borrowers hereby agree that the failure of the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not relieve any Borrower, or any other Credit Party, of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.15 Limitations on Liability of the LC Issuers. The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither any LC Issuer nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (c) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the LC Obligor shall have a claim against an LC Issuer, and an LC Issuer shall be liable to such LC Obligor, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such LC Obligor that such LC Obligor proves were caused by (i) such LC Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such LC Issuer’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an LC Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

Section 11.16 General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Credit Party, any Lender, the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Person against the Global Agent, any LC Issuer, or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each of the Borrowers, each Lender, the Global Agent and each LC Issuer hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to xxx or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 11.17 No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such Person may act)

retained by the Global Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Global Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the Company, to any of its Subsidiaries, or to any other Person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation. Each Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.

Section 11.18 Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrowers, etc. The relationship among the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 11.19 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all LC Issuances hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto, the issue and delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Global Agent or any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf. All statements contained in any certificate or other document delivered to the Global Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Notes by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or otherwise specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrowers hereunder, made as of the respective dates specified therein or, if no date is specified, as of the respective dates furnished to the Global Agent or any Lender.

Section 11.20 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.21 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 11.22 Interest Rate Limitation.

(a) Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent the same is lawful and would not result in either (i) adverse tax consequences to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) the payment by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower of amounts payable by any party other that such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

(b) Canadian Interest Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, C. 46 as the same may be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable under this Agreement with respect to the Canadian Obligations exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the applicable Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to such Canadian Borrower; for purposes of this Agreement the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the applicable credit advanced on the basis of annual compounding of the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Global Agent will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination. The amount of the payment that is to be refunded will be determined by the Global Agent.

Section 11.23 Judgment Currency. If the Global Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, obtains a judgment or judgments against any Borrower in a Designated Foreign Currency or Canadian Dollars, the obligations of such Borrower in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Global Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Global Agent of the Judgment Amount in the Designated Foreign Currency or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, the Global Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such Designated Foreign Currency or Canadian Dollars, as applicable. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion of the Judgment Amount which has accrued as a result of the failure of such Borrower to pay the sum originally due hereunder or under the Notes when it was originally due hereunder or under the Notes) was originally due and owing (the “Original Due Date”) to the Global Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Loss”), such Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Global Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, the Global Agent or such Lender agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

Section 11.24 Press Releases and Related Matters. The Parent and each Borrower hereby each agree that the Global Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Documentation Agent may use the name, logo or other identifying information or trademark of the Parent or any Borrower solely in connection with a press release, “tombstone” or similar advertisements, or in connection with other disclosure to the “gold Sheets” or similar bank trade publications with respect to this Agreement.

Section 11.25 Agreement of Borrowers. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any agreement, consent or undertaking contained herein that is applicable to a Borrower other than the Company shall only take effect as to such Borrower other than the Company upon and by virtue of the execution and delivery by such Borrower of a Joinder Agreement as contemplated by Section 5.02.

Section 11.26 Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (defined hereafter) and the Global Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001)(the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identities the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that

will allow such Lender or the Global Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Act.

EXHIBIT A-1

REVOLVING FACILITY NOTE


$		Cleveland, Ohio
		, 20___

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned [ ] (herein, together with its successors and assigns, the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency (such term and certain other terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement referred to below) and in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office of NATIONAL CITY BANK (the “Global Agent”), the principal sum of ($ ) or, if less, the then unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, on the Credit Facility Termination Date.

The Borrower also promises to pay interest in like currency and funds at the Payment Office on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by the Lender from the date of such Revolving Loan until paid at the rates and at the times provided in Section 2.09 of the Credit Agreement.

This Revolving Facility Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Credit Agreement, dated as of April ___, 2008, among Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co., the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers party thereto, Abercrombie & Fitch Co., the lenders party thereto, the Global Agent, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities, Inc., as the Syndication Agent and each of Fifth Third Bank and Huntington National Bank as a Documentation Agent (as may be further amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), and is entitled to the benefits thereof and of the other Loan Documents.

GUARANTY

C-1

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (DOMESTIC CREDIT PARTIES)

This GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (DOMESTIC CREDIT PARTIES) dated as of April ___, 2008 (this “Agreement”), among ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), each direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiary of Parent other than Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co. (each a “Domestic Subsidiary” and, together with Parent and any other Domestic Subsidiaries that become parties hereto as contemplated by Section 26 hereof, referred to herein individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”), and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as global administrative agent (the “Global Agent”) for the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co. (the “Company”), the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Global Agent, the Lenders party thereto and the other parties party thereto.

The Lenders have agreed to make loans to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders to lend under the Credit Agreement are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a guarantee agreement in the form hereof. The Guarantors acknowledge that they will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans (such term and the other capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein having the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement), the Guarantors are willing to execute and deliver this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. The following terms shall have the meanings specified herein:

“Creditor” means the Global Agent, each LC Issuer, the Lenders (specifically including any Canadian Lending Installation of any Lender) and the Designated Hedge Creditors, and the respective successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.

“Designated Hedge Document” means (i) each Designated Hedge Agreement to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is now or may hereafter become a party, and (ii) each confirmation, transaction statement or other document executed and delivered in connection therewith to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is now or may hereafter become a party.

“Designated Hedge Document Obligations” means all amounts, indemnities and reimbursement obligations, direct or indirect, contingent or absolute, of every type or description, and at any time existing owing by any Designated Hedge Obligor to any Designated Hedge Creditor pursuant to any of the Designated Hedge Documents (including, but not limited to, interest and fees that accrue after the commencement by or against any Designated Hedge Obligor of any insolvency proceeding under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether such interest and fees are allowed claims in such proceeding).

“Designated Hedge Obligor” means any Borrower and any Domestic Subsidiary of the Parent that is now or may hereafter become a party to any Designated Hedge Agreement.

“Guaranteed Documents” means (i) the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Letter of Credit and all other Loan Documents to which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is now or may hereafter become a party, and (ii) each Designated Hedge Agreement and other Designated Hedge Document to which any Designated Hedge Obligor is now or may hereafter become a party.

“Guaranteed Obligations” means the Obligations and the Designated Hedge Document Obligations.

“Guaranteed Party” means each Borrower, each other Domestic Credit Party and each Designated Hedge Obligor.

“Original Currency” has the meaning provided in Section 19 hereof.

“Other Currency” has the meaning provided in Section 19 hereof.

SECTION 2. Each of the Guarantors unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety: (i) to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders (specifically including any Canadian Lending Installation of any Lender) the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Obligations; and (ii) to each Designated Hedge Creditor the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Designated Hedge Document Obligations. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

SECTION 3. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any guaranty of any other Person. The obligations of each of the Guarantors shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any of the following: (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to any Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which such Guarantor may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 3 other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 4. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guarantee of payment when due and not of collection and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from any Guaranteed Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Guaranteed Party, or any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever, and waives any right to require that resort be had by the Global Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Global Agent or any Lender in favor of the Borrowers or any other person. In addition to the foregoing, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Creditors the payment

of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Guaranteed Party, whether or not due or payable by the obligor thereon, upon the occurrence in respect of such Guaranteed Party or other applicable obligor of any Insolvency Event, and unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Global Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, on demand, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents governing such Guaranteed Obligations. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Creditors, that, should any amounts constituting Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from any Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming, at any time, voidable, void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law), then notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by the Global Agent, any other Creditor, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Global Agent, will make payment to the Global Agent, for the account of the Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents. Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Global Agent, on behalf of the Creditors, may enforce this Agreement up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party or any other Person.

SECTION 5. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Global Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Borrowers or any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 6. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Global Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or otherwise.

SECTION 7. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Global Agent or any Lender has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrowers to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Global Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Global Agent for distribution to the Lenders, if and as appropriate, in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Guarantor hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of a Guarantor by the Global Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Global Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or any guarantee or right of offset held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise), nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Global Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers on

account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity and similar rights, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Global Agent to be credited and applied to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by that Guarantor without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 8. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement are within its corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, and (if necessary) stockholder or member, as applicable, action, and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of its certificate of incorporation or certificate of formation, as applicable, or bylaws or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, or any material agreement or instrument binding upon it; (c) it has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Loan Document, if any, to which it is party; (d) no consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, is required to authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of any Loan Document to which it is a party, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party; (e) there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened against or affecting such Guarantor that (i) with respect thereto, there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) expressly contest the validity of this Agreement; and (f) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 9. The guarantees made hereunder shall survive and be in full force and effect so long as any Guaranteed Obligation is outstanding and has not been indefeasibly paid, and shall be reinstated to the extent provided in Section 6.

SECTION 10. This Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Global Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. None of the Guarantors shall be permitted to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 11. All amounts received by the Global Agent pursuant to, or in connection with the enforcement of, this Agreement, together with all amounts and other rights and benefits realized by any Creditor (or to which any Creditor may be entitled) by virtue of this Agreement, shall be applied as provided in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 12. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Global Agent and each other Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Global Agent or any of the other Creditors).

SECTION 13. No failure on the part of the Global Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by the Global Agent or any Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. Except as provided in the Credit Agreement, none of the Global Agent or the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any rights hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by such parties.

SECTION 14. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF OHIO WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE GUARANTORS HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF OHIO GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, or of the United States for the Northern District of Ohio, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Guarantor hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address for notices pursuant to Section 15 hereof, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing or at such earlier time as may be provided under applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Global Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Guarantor in any other jurisdiction. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in this Section 14 and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 15. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any communication or notice hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the address or telecopy or telex number specified in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 16. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 17. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any Guaranteed Party, and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Parties or any Guaranteed Party joined in any such action or actions.

SECTION 18. Each Guarantor confirms that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Guaranteed Documents has been made available to its principal executive officers, that such officers are familiar with the contents thereof and of this Agreement, and that it has executed and delivered this

Agreement after reviewing the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Guaranteed Documents and this Agreement and such other information as it has deemed appropriate in order to make its own credit analysis and decision to execute and deliver this Agreement. Each Guarantor confirms that it has made its own independent investigation with respect to the creditworthiness of the Guaranteed Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and is not executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance on any representation or warranty by the Global Agent or any other Creditor or any other Person acting on behalf of the Global Agent or any other Creditor as to such creditworthiness. Each Guarantor expressly assumes all responsibilities to remain informed of the financial condition of the Guaranteed Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any circumstances affecting (a) any Guaranteed Party’s or any of its Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Guaranteed Documents to which it is a party, or (b) any other guaranty for all or any part of such Guaranteed Party’s or such Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s payment and performance obligations thereunder; and each Guarantor further agrees that the Global Agent and the other Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or the risks such Guarantor undertakes in this Agreement.

SECTION 19. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) each Guarantor, the Global Agent and the other Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Global Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency at the Payment Office on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of a Guarantor in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Global Agent or any other Creditor hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, in the Original Currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Global Agent or any other Creditor, as the case may be, in the Original Currency, the Global Agent or such other Creditor, as the case may be, agrees to remit to such Guarantor such excess.

SECTION 20. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, such Guarantor shall take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by the actions or inactions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 21. The relationship among any Guarantor and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Global Agent and the other Creditors, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Global Agent and the other Creditors have no fiduciary or other special relationship with any Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, and no term or provision of any Guaranteed Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

SECTION 22. This Guarantee may be released with respect to any Subsidiary that ceases to be a Domestic Subsidiary as a result of a transaction that is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 23. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument; provided that this Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Guarantor when a counterpart which bears the signature of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Global Agent.

SECTION 24. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING), OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 24.

SECTION 25. Upon execution and delivery by the Global Agent and any subsequently acquired or organized Domestic Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1 attached hereto, such subsequently acquired or organized Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

ANNEX 1 to the

SUPPLEMENT NO. dated as of , 20[___] to the GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (DOMESTIC CREDIT PARTIES), dated as of April ___, 2008 (the “Agreement”), among ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and each direct and indirect Subsidiary of Parent other than Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co. (each a “Domestic Subsidiary” and, together with Parent and any other Domestic Subsidiaries that become parties hereto as contemplated by Section 25 thereof, referred to herein individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”), and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as global administrative agent (the “Global Agent”) for the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co. (the “Company”), the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Global Agent, the Lenders party thereto and the other parties party thereto.

The Guarantors have entered into the Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrowers (such term and other capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein having the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement and the Credit Agreement). Section 25 of the Agreement provides that additional Domestic Subsidiaries may become Guarantors under the Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Domestic Subsidiary (the “New Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement to become a Guarantor under the Agreement. As a Subsidiary, the New Guarantor acknowledges that it derives substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, the Global Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 25 of the Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Global Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Guarantor.

SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF OHIO WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Agreement, and of any such provision with respect to any other Guarantor, shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 15 of the Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Guarantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below.

SECTION 8. The New Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Global Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Global Agent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Guarantor and the Global Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

FORM OF

FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

E-1

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR)

This GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR) dated as of [ ], 20[___] (this “Agreement”), between [ ], a [ ] [ ] (the “Guarantor”), a Subsidiary of [ ],a [ ] [ ] (the “Parent Foreign Borrower”), a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined), and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as global administrative agent (the “Global Agent”) for the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April ___, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co. (the “Company”), the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Global Agent, the Lenders party thereto and the other parties party thereto.

The Lenders have agreed to make loans to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders to lend under the Credit Agreement to the Parent Foreign Borrower are conditioned on, among other things and subject to the Foreign Guaranty Principles, the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of a guarantee agreement in the form hereof prior to the Parent Foreign Borrower loaning or otherwise providing any proceeds of the Loans to the Guarantor or obtaining any Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Guarantor. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Parent Foreign Borrower under the Credit Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans (such term and the other capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein having the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement) to the Parent Foreign Borrower, the Guarantor is willing to execute and deliver this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. The following terms shall have the meanings specified herein:

“Creditor” means the Global Agent, each LC Issuer, the Lenders [Add for Canadian Subsidiary guaranty only: (specifically including any Canadian Lending Installation of any Lender)], and the respective successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.

“Guaranteed Documents” means the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Letter of Credit and all other Loan Documents to which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is now or may hereafter become a party, but only to the extent that the Parent Foreign Borrower is a party.

“Guaranteed Obligations” means the Obligations of the Parent Foreign Borrower under the Guaranteed Documents, provided that the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not exceed at any time, and shall only relate to, the sum of the amount of Loan proceeds, if any, that the Parent Foreign Borrower has loaned to the Guarantor plus the face amount of any Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of the Guarantor.

“Original Currency” has the meaning provided in Section 19 hereof.

“Other Currency” has the meaning provided in Section 19 hereof.

SECTION 2. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders [Add for Canadian Subsidiary guaranty only: (specifically including any Canadian Lending Installation of any Lender)] the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

SECTION 3. The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any guaranty of any other Person. The obligations of the Guarantor shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any of the following: (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to any Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation; (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which such Guarantor may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligation, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 3 other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 4. The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guarantee of payment when due and not of collection and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Parent Foreign Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, or any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever, and waives any right to require that resort be had by the Global Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Global Agent or any Lender in favor of the Borrowers or any other person. In addition to the foregoing, the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Creditors the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent Foreign Borrower, whether or not due or payable, upon the occurrence in respect of the Parent Foreign Borrower of any Insolvency Event, and unconditionally and irrevocably promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Global Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, on demand, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents governing such Guaranteed Obligations. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Creditors, that, should any amounts constituting Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from the Parent Foreign Borrower for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming, at any time, voidable, void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law), then notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by the Global Agent, any other Creditor, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, the Guarantor, as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Global Agent, will make payment to the Global Agent, for the account of the Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents. The Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Global Agent, on behalf of the Creditors, may enforce this Agreement up to

the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against the Guarantor without proceeding against the Parent Foreign Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 5. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Global Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Borrowers or the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 6. The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Global Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers, the Parent Foreign Borrower or otherwise.

SECTION 7. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Global Agent or any Lender has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrowers to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Global Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Global Agent for distribution to the Lenders, if and as appropriate, in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Global Agent or any Lender, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Global Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers, the Parent Foreign Borrower or any guarantee or right of offset held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise), nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers or the Parent Foreign Borrower in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Global Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity and similar rights, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Global Agent to be credited and applied to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by the Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by that Guarantor without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 8. The Guarantor represents and warrants that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement are within its corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, and (if necessary) stockholder or member, as applicable, action, and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of its certificate of

incorporation or certificate of formation, as applicable, or bylaws or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, or any material agreement or instrument binding upon it; (c) it has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Loan Document, if any, to which it is party; (d) no consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, is required to authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of any Loan Document to which it is a party, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document to which the Guarantor is a party; (e) there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting the Guarantor that (i) with respect thereto, there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) expressly contest the validity of this Agreement; and (f) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 10. This Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Global Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. The Guarantor shall not be permitted to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 12. The Guarantor agrees to pay, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Global Agent and each other Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Global Agent or any of the other Creditors).

ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF OHIO GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, or of the United States for the Northern District of Ohio, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Guarantor hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address for notices pursuant to Section 15 hereof, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing or at such earlier time as may be provided under applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Global Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Guarantor in any other jurisdiction. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in this Section 14 and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 15. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any communication or notice hereunder to the Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the address or telecopy or telex number specified in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 17. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor or the Parent Foreign Borrower, and whether or not any other guarantor or the Parent Foreign Borrower joined in any such action or actions.

SECTION 18. The Guarantor confirms that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Guaranteed Documents has been made available to its principal executive officers, that such officers are familiar with the contents thereof and of this Agreement, and that it has executed and delivered this Agreement after reviewing the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Guaranteed Documents and this Agreement and such other information as it has deemed appropriate in order to make its own credit analysis and decision to execute and deliver this Agreement. The Guarantor confirms that it has made its own independent investigation with respect to the creditworthiness of the Parent Foreign Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and is not executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance on any representation or warranty by the Global Agent or any other Creditor or any other Person acting on behalf of the Global Agent or any other Creditor as to such creditworthiness. The Guarantor expressly assumes all responsibilities to remain informed of the financial condition of the Parent Foreign Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any circumstances affecting (a) the Parent Foreign Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Guaranteed Documents to which it is a party, or (b) any other guaranty for all or any part of the Parent Foreign Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s payment and performance obligations thereunder; and the Guarantor further agrees that the Global Agent and the other Creditors

shall have no duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or the risks the Guarantor undertakes in this Agreement.

SECTION 19. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) the Guarantor, the Global Agent and the other Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Global Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency at the Payment Office on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Guarantor in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Global Agent or any other Creditor hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, in the Original Currency, the Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Creditor or the Global Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Global Agent or any other Creditor, as the case may be, in the Original Currency, the Global Agent or such other Creditor, as the case may be, agrees to remit to the Guarantor such excess.

SECTION 20. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Guarantor shall take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by the actions or inactions of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 21. The relationship among the Guarantor and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Global Agent and the other Creditors, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Global Agent and the other Creditors have no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, and no term or provision of any Guaranteed Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

SECTION 22. This Guarantee shall be released if the Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction that is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 23. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument; provided that this Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to the Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to the Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be effective with respect to the Guarantor when a counterpart which bears the signature of the Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Global Agent.

SECTION 24. This Guaranty does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this Guaranty constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of any applicable law or otherwise violating the Foreign Guaranty Principles.

SECTION 25. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,

PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING), OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 25.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Schedule 4

Mandatory Costs

The “Mandatory Cost” is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

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

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

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Foreign Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Global Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to a Loan denominated in British Pounds:


AB + C(B – D) + E x 0.01		percent per annum
100 – (A + C)		percent per annum

(b)

in relation to a Loan denominated in any currency other than British pounds:


E x 0.01		percent per annum.
300		percent per annum.

Where:

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

	B		is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Default Rate).

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

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

	E		is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Global Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Global Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

For the purposes of this Schedule:

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

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

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

	(d)		“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to the Economic and Monetary Union; and

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

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

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

Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Global Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	(a)		the jurisdiction of its Foreign Lending Office; and

	(b)		any other information that the Global Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

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

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

10.

The Global Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.

The Global Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.

Any determination by the Global Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

13.

The Global Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error be conclusive and binding on all parties.

Schedule 4.06

Disclosed Matters

•

On June 23, 2006, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, et al. x. Xxxxxxxxxxx & Fitch Co. and Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. In that action, three plaintiffs allege, on behalf of a putative class of California store managers employed in Hollister and Abercrombie stores, that they were entitled to receive overtime pay as “non-exempt” employees under California wage and hour laws. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, equitable relief, unpaid overtime compensation, unpaid benefits, penalties, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. The defendants filed an answer to the complaint on August 21, 2006. The parties are engaging in discovery. On December 10, 2007, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs’ counsel to settle certain claims in the action. The agreement resulted in a written Stipulation and Settlement Agreement, effective as of February 7, 2008, settling all claims of Hollister and Abercrombie store managers who served in stores from June 23, 2002 to April 30, 2004. Neither the agreement in principle nor the Stipulation affects claims which are alleged to have arisen in the period commencing on April 30, 2004. On February 27, 2008, the Court entered an order noting its preliminary approval of the Stipulation and Settlement Agreement and setting a noticed hearing for June 9, 2008, to determine whether the proposed settlement should be finally approved. The cost of the settlement, if approved, is not expected to be material.

•

On September 2, 2005, a purported class action, styled Xxxxxx Xxxx x. Xxxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx Company, et al., was filed against A&F and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on behalf of a purported class of all persons who purchased or acquired shares of A&F’s Common Stock between June 2, 2005 and August 16, 2005. In September and October of 2005, five other purported class actions were subsequently filed against A&F and other defendants in the same Court. All six securities cases allege claims under the federal securities laws, and seek unspecified monetary damages, as a result of a decline in the price of A&F’s Common Stock during the summer of 2005. On November 1, 2005, a motion to consolidate all of these purported class actions into the first-filed case was filed by some of the plaintiffs. A&F joined in that motion. On March 22, 2006, the motions to consolidate were granted, and these actions (together with the federal court derivative cases described in the following paragraph) were consolidated for purposes of motion practice, discovery and pretrial proceedings. A consolidated amended securities class action complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed on August 14, 2006. On October 13, 2006, all defendants moved to dismiss that Complaint. On August 9, 2007, the Court denied the motions to dismiss. On September 14, 2007, defendants filed answers denying the material allegations of the Complaint and asserting affirmative defenses. On October 26, 2007, plaintiffs moved to certify their purported class. The motion has not been fully briefed or submitted.

•

On September 16, 2005, a derivative action, styled The Booth Family Trust v. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, naming A&F as a nominal defendant and seeking to assert claims for unspecified damages against nine of A&F’s present and former directors, alleging various breaches of the directors’ fiduciary duty and seeking equitable and monetary relief. In the following three months (October, November and December of 2005), four similar derivative actions were filed (three in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and one in the Court of Common Pleas for Franklin County, Ohio) against present and former directors of A&F alleging various breaches of the directors’ fiduciary duty and seeking equitable and monetary relief. A&F is also a nominal defendant in each of the four later derivative actions. On November 4, 2005, a motion to consolidate all of the federal court derivative actions with the purported securities law class actions described in the preceding paragraph was filed. On March 22, 2006, the motion to consolidate was granted, and the federal court derivative actions have been consolidated with the aforesaid purported securities law class actions for purposes of motion practice, discovery and pretrial proceedings. A consolidated amended derivative complaint was filed in the federal proceeding on July 10, 2006. A&F filed a motion to stay the consolidated federal derivative case and that motion was granted. The state court action was also stayed. On February 16, 2007, A&F announced its Board of Directors received a report of the Special Litigation Committee established by the Board to investigate and act with respect to claims asserted in certain previously disclosed derivative lawsuits brought against current and former directors and management, including Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx. The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that there is no evidence to support the asserted claims and directed the Company to seek dismissal of the derivative actions. On September 10, 2007, the Company moved to dismiss the federal derivative cases on the authority of the Special Litigation Committee report and on October 18, 2007, the state court stayed further proceedings until resolution of the consolidated federal derivative cases.

•

In December 2005, the Company received a formal order of investigation from the SEC concerning trading in shares of A&F’s Common Stock. The SEC has requested information from A&F and certain of its current and former officers and directors. The Company and its personnel have cooperated fully with the SEC.
