Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Multicurrency Revolving Lender, Australian Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as applicable, the applicable Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

Unless otherwise directed by the directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement.

In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Syndicated Currency, the Company shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in such Foreign Syndicated Currency, unless in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in U.S. Dollars, the Company shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse such L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in U.S. Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Syndicated Currency, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in U.S. Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in a Foreign Syndicated Currency (each such date, an “Multicurrency Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Multicurrency Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Company fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Multicurrency Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Revolving Lender of the Multicurrency Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in U.S. Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Syndicated Currency) (the “Multicurrency Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Multicurrency Honor Date in an amount equal to the Multicurrency Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice), including the condition that no Default shall exist or result from such Credit Extension. Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the

Multicurrency Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(B) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Administrative Agent thereof. The Canadian Borrower shall reimburse the Canadian L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars, unless in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in U.S. Dollars, the Canadian Borrower shall have notified the Canadian L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Canadian Borrower will reimburse the Canadian L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in U.S. Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian L/C Issuer shall notify the Canadian Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of any payment by the Canadian L/C Issuer under a Canadian Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in U.S. Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Canadian L/C Issuer under a Canadian Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Canadian Dollars (each such date, an "Canadian Honor Date”), the Canadian Borrower shall reimburse the Canadian L/C Issuer through the Canadian Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Canadian Borrower fails to so reimburse the Canadian L/C Issuer by such time, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Canadian Revolving Lender of the Canadian Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Canadian Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Canadian Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars to be disbursed on the Canadian Honor Date in an amount equal to the Canadian Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice), including the condition that no Default shall exist or result from such Credit Extension. Any notice given by the Canadian L/C Issuer or the Canadian Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)(B) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(C) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Australian Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Australian Borrower and the Australian Administrative Agent

thereof. The Australian Borrower shall reimburse the Australian L/C Issuer in Australian Dollars or U.S. Dollars, as applicable, unless in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in U.S. Dollars, the Australian Borrower shall have notified the Australian L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Australian Borrower will reimburse the Australian L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in U.S. Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in Australian Dollars, the Australian L/C Issuer shall notify the Australian Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Sydney time) on the date of any payment by the Australian L/C Issuer under an Australian Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in U.S. Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Australian L/C Issuer under an Australian Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Australian Dollars (each such date, an “Australian Honor Date”), the Australian Borrower shall reimburse the Australian L/C Issuer through the Australian Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Australian Borrower fails to so reimburse the Australian L/C Issuer by such time, the Australian Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Australian Revolving Lender of the Australian Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Australian Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Australian Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Australian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Australian Revolving Borrowing of, (y) for Australian Letters of Credit issued in Australian Dollars, Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Australian Dollars and (z) for Australian Letters of Credit issued in U.S. Dollars, Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, in each case to be disbursed on the Australian Honor Date in an amount equal to the Australian Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Australian Dollars or the principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, as applicable, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice), including the condition that no Default shall exist or result from such Credit Extension. Any notice given by the Australian L/C Issuer or the Australian Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)(C) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) (A) Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) make funds available to the Multicurrency Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in U.S. Dollars, at the Multicurrency Administrative Agent’s Office for U.S. Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Multicurrency Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Multicurrency Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the

provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii)(A), each Multicurrency Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Multicurrency Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars.

(B) Each Canadian Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(B) make funds available to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian L/C Issuer, in Canadian Dollars, at the Canadian Administrative Agent’s Office for Canadian Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Canadian Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii)(B), each Canadian Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Canadian Borrower in such amount. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Canadian L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars.

(C) Each Australian Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(C) make funds available to the Australian Administrative Agent for the account of the Australian L/C Issuer, in Australian Dollars or U.S. Dollars, as applicable, at the Australian Administrative Agent’s Office for Australian Dollar-denominated payments or U.S. Dollar denominated payments, as applicable, in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Australian Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Sydney time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Australian Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii)(C), each Australian Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Eurocurrency Rate Loan to the Australian Borrower in such amount. The Australian Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Australian L/C Issuer in Australian Dollars or U.S. Dollars, as applicable.

(iii) (A) With respect to any Multicurrency Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer a Multicurrency L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Multicurrency Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Multicurrency L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s payment to the Multicurrency Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Multicurrency L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a Multicurrency L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(B) With respect to any Canadian Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Canadian L/C Issuer a Canadian L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Canadian Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Canadian L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Canadian Revolving Lender’s payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)(B) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Canadian L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a Canadian L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(C) With respect to any Australian Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Australian Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Australian L/C Issuer an Australian L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Australian Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Australian L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Australian Revolving Lender’s payment to the Australian Administrative Agent for the account of the Australian L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)(C) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Australian L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an Australian L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Multicurrency Revolving Lender, Australian Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as applicable, funds its Multicurrency Revolving Loan, Australian Revolving Loan, Canadian Revolving Loan, Multicurrency L/C Advance, Australian L/C Advance or Canadian L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each applicable Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse L/C Issuers for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each applicable Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans (but not such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make

L/C Advances) pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a Committed Loan Notice ). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any applicable Revolving Lender fails to make available to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the applicable Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any applicable Revolving Lender (through the applicable Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Multicurrency Revolving Lender, Australian Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as applicable, such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Multicurrency Administrative Agent, the Australian Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Multicurrency Unreimbursed Amount, Australian Unreimbursed Amount or Canadian Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Multicurrency Administrative Agent, Australian Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable), the applicable Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the applicable Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each

Multicurrency Revolving Lender, Australian Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as applicable, shall pay to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the applicable Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, Australian Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; or

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Foreign Syndicated Currency, Australian Dollars or

Canadian Dollars to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Subsidiary.

The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the applicable Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the applicable Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Company and the applicable Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender, the Company, the Australian Borrower and the Canadian Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Multicurrency Administrative Agent, the Australian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, the Australian Revolving Lenders, the Canadian Revolving Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the applicable Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Multicurrency Administrative Agent, the Australian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the applicable Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the applicable Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the applicable Borrower which the applicable Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in

limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, unless it receives from the Company any notice or information to the contrary, and each such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral.

(i) Upon the request of the applicable Administrative Agent, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

(ii) In addition, if (A) the Multicurrency Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Multicurrency L/C Obligations at such time exceeds the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, (B) the Canadian Administrative Agent notifies the Canadian Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Canadian L/C Obligations at such time exceeds the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect or (C) the Australian Administrative Agent notifies the Australian Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Australian L/C Obligations at such time exceeds the Australian Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, in each case, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the applicable L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount (x) of the Multicurrency L/C Obligations exceeds the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) of the Canadian L/C Obligations exceeds the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit or (z) of the Australian L/C Obligations exceeds the Australian Letter of Credit Sublimit, as applicable.

(iii) The applicable Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.03(g) or Sections 2.05 or 8.02(c), request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

(iv) Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term

have corresponding meanings. The applicable Borrower hereby grants to the applicable Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agents, L/C Issuers and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Multicurrency Collateral Agent, Australian Collateral Agent or Canadian Collateral Agent, as applicable. If at any time the applicable Collateral Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than such Collateral Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations required to be Cash Collateralized under the terms of this Agreement, the applicable Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the applicable Collateral Agent, pay to the applicable Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the applicable Collateral Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP 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 shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Multicurrency Administrative Agent for the account of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, in U.S. Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Multicurrency Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to 1/8th of 1% per annum times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be in a minimum amount of $500 per annum. The Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, in Canadian Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Canadian Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to 1/8th of 1% per annum times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, the Canadian Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be in a minimum amount of $500 per

annum. The Australian Borrower shall pay to the Australian Administrative Agent for the account of each Australian Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, in Australian Dollars or U.S. Dollars, as applicable, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Australian Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to 1/8th of 1% per annum times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, the Australian Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be in a minimum amount of $500 per annum. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The applicable Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, Australian Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Company and the applicable L/C Issuer, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Company and the applicable L/C Issuer, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Company and the applicable L/C Issuer, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit and annually thereafter. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, Australian Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company, the Australian Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit to the extent such Subsidiary does not reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for such drawings. The Company, the Australian Borrower and the Canadian Borrower hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, the Australian Borrower and/or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and that the Company’s, the Australian Borrower’s and/or the Canadian Borrower’s business, as applicable, derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
