(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the determination of any basket or covenant based on Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.08; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.08, when calculating the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio, each as applicable, for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Rate”, (ii) the definition of “Applicable ECF Percentage” and (iii) Section 7.13 (other than for the purpose of determining pro forma compliance with Section 7.13), the events described in this Section 1.08 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test or determination of Consolidated EBITDA is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test or determination of Consolidated EBITDA shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Parent Borrower are available (as determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower) (it being understood that for purposes of determining pro forma compliance with Section 7.13, if no Test Period with an applicable level cited in Section 7.13 has passed, the applicable level shall be the level for the first Test Period cited in Section 7.13 with an indicated level). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not apply for purposes of calculating the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, each as applicable, for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Rate”, (ii) the definition of “Applicable ECF Percentage” and (iii) Section 7.13 (other than for the purpose of determining pro forma compliance with Section 7.13), each of which shall be based on the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period.

(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA), Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.08) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) if applicable as described in clause (a) above, subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA) is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated EBITDA, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.08, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.08.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies resulting from or relating to any Specified Transaction (including the Transactions) which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Parent Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Parent Borrower) (including any savings expected to result

-74-

from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized) relating to such Specified Transaction; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Parent Borrower, (B) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than twenty-four (24) months after the date of such Specified Transaction, (C) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period and (D) the aggregate amount of cost savings, synergies and operating expense reductions added pursuant to this clause (c) and clause (a)(vii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” in any Test Period shall not exceed an amount equal to 20% of Consolidated EBITDA for such period (calculated prior to giving effect to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.08(c) and clause (a)(vii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”).

(d) In the event that (w) the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (x) the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Equity Interests, (y) any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Preferred Stock or (z) the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary establishes (or designates) any Designated Commitments, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock or such establishment of Designated Commitments, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Interest Coverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period) and, with respect to the calculation of compliance with any covenant determined by reference to a financial ratio or test on the date of determination (other than compliance with Section 7.13) in connection with the incurrence of any Designated Commitments, such covenant shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to the full amount of such Designated Commitments as if such full amount of Indebtedness thereunder had been incurred thereunder throughout such period.

(e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of the computation above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed on the average daily balances of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency Rate interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Parent Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Credit Document to the contrary, when (a) calculating any applicable ratio, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness, the issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock, the creation of Liens, the making of any Disposition, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment, the designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock, (b) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, (c) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires compliance with any representations and warranties set forth herein or (d) determining the satisfaction of all other conditions precedent to the incurrence of Indebtedness, the issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock, the creation of Liens, the making of any

-75-

Disposition, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment, the designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of such ratio or other provisions, determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, determination of compliance with any representations or warranties or the satisfaction of any other conditions shall, at the option of the Parent Borrower (the Parent Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), be the LCT Test Date, and, if after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date (or, in the case of any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness (except in the case of the Interest Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio)), as if incurred (or repaid, as applicable) on the last day of the applicable Test Period), the Parent Borrower could have consummated such Limited Condition Transaction on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or other provision, such ratio or other provision shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if, following the LCT Test Date, any of such ratios or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or other components of such ratio) or other provision at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been failed to have been satisfied or exceeded, respectively, as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction and related transactions are permitted hereunder and (ii) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, unless (x) on such date an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrowers, Section 8.01(f) shall be continuing or (y) the Parent Borrower subsequently elects, in its sole discretion, to test such ratios and baskets on the date such Limited Condition Transaction and related transactions are consummated. If the Parent Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or other provision (other than testing actual compliance with the Financial Covenants) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or other provision shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expired.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Parent Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts. Unless the Parent Borrower in its sole discretion elects otherwise in writing, any portion of amounts previously established or incurred in reliance on a Fixed Amount shall be automatically reclassified as having been established or incurred in reliance on any applicable Incurrence-Based Amount if at any time after such portion was established or incurred the Parent Borrower would be permitted to establish or incur such portion in reliance on the applicable Incurrence-Based Amount (which determination shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis and without duplication of any amounts subject to such reclassification) (in which case the amount available under the Fixed Amount shall be increased by such portion so reclassified).

SECTION 1.09. Currency Generally.

(a) Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

(i) The Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and

-76-

amounts outstanding hereunder denominated in Foreign Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Loan Parties hereunder or calculating any incurrence or financial covenant hereunder (including baskets related thereto) or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Credit Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent as so determined by the Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer, as applicable.

(ii) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Foreign Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the relevant L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.05 and 7.06 and the definition of “Permitted Investments” with respect to any amount of Indebtedness, Investment, Restricted Payment, Lien or Disposition in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness, Investment, Restricted Payment, Lien or Disposition is incurred or made; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.09(a) shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness, Investment, Restricted Payment, Lien or Disposition may be incurred or made at any time under such Sections.

(iv) For purposes of calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Dollar equivalent of any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted into Dollars based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred (after giving effect to the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the applicable amount of such Indebtedness).

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, all interest shall accrue and be payable thereon based on the actual amount outstanding in such Foreign Currency (without any translation into the Dollar Equivalent thereof).

(b) Redenomination of Certain Foreign Currencies and Computation of Dollar Equivalents.

(i) Each obligation of a Borrower to make a payment denominated in the National Currency Unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Original Closing Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Credit Extension in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Credit Extension, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(ii) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in consultation with the Parent Borrower to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

-77-

(iii) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in consultation with the Parent Borrower to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

(i) The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Foreign Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(ii) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), twenty Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer thereof. Each Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(iii) Any failure by a Lender or a L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a Foreign Currency hereunder for purposes of any borrowings of Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a Foreign Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.09(c), the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.

(iv) If the applicable Lenders agree to make a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or an L/C Issuer agrees to issue a Letter of Credit in a Foreign Currency other than Euros, Swiss Francs or Yen, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may amend this Agreement to make any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”, the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower agree may be appropriate to reflect such Loans or Letters of Credit being denominated in such currency under this Agreement.

-78-

SECTION 1.10. Letters of Credit.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent amount of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent amount of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

SECTION 1.11. Divisions

For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.12. Effect of Fifth Restatement.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement set forth in Section 6 of the Amendment, this Agreement shall be binding on the Borrowers, the Agents, the Lenders and the other parties hereto, and the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the provisions thereof shall be replaced in their entirety by this Agreement and the provisions hereof; provided that (a) the Obligations (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (in each case, as further amended from time to time) that remain unpaid and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement shall continue to exist under and be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (b) all Letters of Credit existing immediately prior to the Effective Date shall continue as Letters of Credit under this Agreement, (c) the Collateral and the Credit Documents shall continue to secure, guarantee, support and otherwise benefit the Obligations (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the Obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, in each case, as amended hereby, (d) all Swap Contracts entered into prior to the Effective Date that constitute Obligations (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement shall continue to constitute Obligations hereunder, and (e) any Person entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of the corresponding provisions of this Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each Credit Document that was in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement shall continue to be effective and, unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to the Original Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement contained therein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement. This Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

The Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case, as further provided herein.

SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans of a given Class from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice or the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Committed Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (1) three (3) Business Days (or at least four (4) Business Days in the case of a Foreign Currency Loan not denominated in a Special Notice Currency or at least five (5) Business Days in the case of a Foreign Currency Loan in a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (2) on the requested date of any U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (3) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Japanese Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that the notice referred to in subclause (1) above may be delivered no later than three Business Days prior to the Effective Date in the case of the Credit Extensions of Term A Dollar Loans and Term A Euro Loans; provided, further, that no Foreign Currency Loan may be converted into a Base Rate Loan or into a Foreign Currency Loan of a different Foreign Currency. Each telephonic notice by the requesting Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Except as provided in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of $1,000,000, or a whole Dollar Equivalent multiple of $100,000, in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), 2.04(b) or 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of $500,000 or a whole Dollar Equivalent multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the requesting Borrower(s) are requesting a Term Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the currency and principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Class and Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) if applicable, which Class of Revolving Credit Commitments is to be borrowed and (vii) wire instructions of the account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed. If the requesting Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then (x) the applicable Term B-1 Dollar Loans, Term B-2 Dollar Loans, Term B-3 Dollar Loans, Term A Dollar Loans or Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans and (y) the applicable Term A Euro Loans, Term B-1 Euro Loans, Term B-2 Euro Loans or Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies shall be made as, or converted to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the requesting Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower(s), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative

-82-

Agent’s Office not later than (x) 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars and (y) the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account(s) of the applicable Borrowers on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided by the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower, on behalf of such Borrower, to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility is given by the Parent Borrower, there are Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowing, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Parent Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrowers pay the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility may require by notice to the Parent Borrower that: (i) no Loans denominated in Dollars under the applicable Facility may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) any Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency under the applicable Facility shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twenty-five (25) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an Incremental Amendment (including for Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments), Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by three (3) Interest Periods for each applicable Class so established.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing, or in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any

-83-

amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitments.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit at sight denominated in Dollars or in one or more Foreign Currencies for the account of the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and (B) the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure of any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender would exceed such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the ability of the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender has approved of such expiration date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer;

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender has approved of such expiration date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer;

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

-84-

(E) any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion;

(F) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $250,000; or

(G) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or a Foreign Currency.

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Parent Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the currency and amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Parent Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the

-85-

requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon by the L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the relevant L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), such L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Facility Lenders under U.S. Revolving Credit Facility have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as a Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the relevant L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(v) Promptly after issuance of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

-86-

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse the respective L/C Issuer in such Foreign Currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the relevant Borrower shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Parent Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 12:00 p.m. on the first Business Day immediately following any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the first Business Day immediately following any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in a Foreign Currency, in each case, with notice to the relevant Borrower (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in the applicable currency; provided that if such reimbursement is not made on the date of drawing, the Borrowers shall pay interest to the relevant L/C Issuer on such amount at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for U.S. Revolving Credit Loans (without duplication of interest payable on L/C Borrowings). The applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination or revaluation thereof. If the relevant Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof. In such event, in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under a Letter of Credit, the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the 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 requirements for the amount of the unutilized portion of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) 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) Each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (including any Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which 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 U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

-87-

(iv) Until each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender funds its U.S. Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.

(v) Each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer 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 the relevant L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Borrower 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 that each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Parent Borrower 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 relevant 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 U.S. Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant 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 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. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Parent Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the amount received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) or Section 2.03(c)(ii) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof on demand of the 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 U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders under this Section 2.03(d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower, as applicable, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it 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 Credit Document;

-88-

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party 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), the relevant 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;

(iv) any payment by the relevant 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 the relevant 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;

(v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the U.S. Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of such Letter of Credit; 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, any Loan Party;

(vii) waiver by the L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Company or any waiver by the L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Company;

(viii) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; or

(ix) any payment made by the L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC or the ISP;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions by such L/C Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such L/C Issuer as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender, the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant 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, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in

-89-

connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders or the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The applicable Borrower 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 that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s 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, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, each applicable Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent 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 each case as determined by a final and non appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall 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) (A) If, as of any Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any applicable Letter of Credit issued to the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn or (B) if an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing, the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower, as applicable, shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all of its relevant L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default or the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (A), (1) the Business Day that the applicable Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 p.m. or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (B) the Business Day on which as Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such day. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the relevant L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower each hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the U.S. Revolving Credit 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 accounts at the Administrative Agent and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are expressly subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all relevant L/C Obligations, the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at the Administrative

-90-

Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably 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 Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such relevant L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the applicable Borrower. To the extent any Event of Default giving rise to the requirement to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) is cured or otherwise waived, then so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral pledged to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to the applicable Borrower.

(ii) In addition, if Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect (unless such excess arises solely in connection with the change in the Dollar Equivalent of L/C Obligations denominated in Foreign Currencies on any Revaluation Date specified in clause (b)(iv) of the definition thereof), within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower, as applicable, shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

(iii) Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.03(g), request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower, as applicable, shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans times the daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (regardless of whether the conditions for drawing could then be met and whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided, however, any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the last Business Day of each of 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. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each 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.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower, as applicable, shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other lower amount as may be mutually agreed by the Parent Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer) of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit) or such lesser fee as may be agreed with such L/C Issuer. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each of 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. In addition, the Parent Borrower or the

-91-

U.S. Borrower, as applicable, shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower, 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 within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Addition of an L/C Issuer. A U.S. Revolving Credit Lender reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer.

(m) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in respect of any tranche or Class of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by such L/C Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other tranches or Classes of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments under which Letters of Credit are issued in respect of which the Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.03(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to) the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches or Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) and unless provisions reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer for the treatment of such Letter of Credit as a letter of credit under a successor credit facility have been agreed upon, each applicable Borrower shall, on or prior to the applicable Maturity Date, cause all such Letters of Credit to be replaced and returned to the applicable L/C Issuer undrawn and marked “cancelled” or to the extent that the applicable Borrower is unable to so replace and return any Letter(s) of Credit, such Letter(s) of Credit shall be secured by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or such Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(g). Commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche or Class of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed solely with such L/C Issuer.

(n) Letter of Credit Reports. For so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a report in the form of Exhibit R, appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

(o) 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 Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each of the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower, and that the Parent Borrower’s and U.S. Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Bank of America, in its capacity as Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars to any Swing Line Borrower (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”), from time to time on any Business Day during the period beginning on the Business Day after the Effective Date and until the Maturity Date of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed

-92-

at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Swing Line Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect; provided, further, that no Swing Line Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, any Swing Line Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the irrevocable notice by the Parent Borrower, on its own behalf or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower (each a “Swing Line Borrower”) to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an integral multiple of $50,000) and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic notice or Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, such Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to such Swing Line Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when a U.S. Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Parent Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Parent Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes such Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount of Swing Line Loans of each Swing Line Borrower then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but not in excess of the unutilized portion of the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The

-93-

Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Swing Line Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Lender that each of the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the 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 the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. If such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(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 the Swing Line Lender, a Swing Line Borrower 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 that each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) is subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of a Swing Line Borrower to repay the applicable Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by such Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by such Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to such Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per

-94-

annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

(g) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Expiring Credit Commitment”) at a time when another tranche or tranches of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date (each a “Non-Expiring Credit Commitment” and collectively, the “Non-Expiring Credit Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swing Line Loan, if consented to by the applicable Swing Line Lender, on the earliest occurring Maturity Date such Swing Line Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the tranche or tranches of the Non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation (after giving effect to any repayments of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.03(m)) the amount of Swing Line Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Swing Line Borrowers shall still be obligated to pay Swing Line Loans allocated to the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the maturity date of the Expiring Credit Commitment. Commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche or Class of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Swing Line Loans shall be agreed solely with the Swing Line Lender.

SECTION 2.05. Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) Any Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower or the Parent Borrower, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans of any Class or Classes in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four (4) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency other than a Special Notice Currency, (C) five (5) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in a Special Notice Currency and (D) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of $500,000 or a whole Dollar Equivalent multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid (and, for the avoidance of doubt, may indicate the prepayments by more than one Borrower on such date in such amounts so specified, which, individually may be below any minimum or multiple but which in aggregate amount on any given date shall satisfy such minimum and multiple requirements). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Parent Borrower, the applicable Borrower(s) shall make

-95-

such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a), the prepaying Borrower or the Parent Borrower on its behalf may in its sole discretion select the Class or Classes of the Borrowing or Borrowings (and the order of maturity of principal payments) to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.

(ii) A Swing Line Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Parent Borrower, the applicable Swing Line Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower on its behalf may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable.

Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the relevant Company Party with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.

If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Company Party by the Acceptance Date, such Company Party shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with such Company Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the relevant Company Party at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(v)(D). If the Company Party elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Company Party agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Company Party will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Company Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the relevant Company Party of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the tranches to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount

-100-

and the tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Company Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent demonstrable error. The payment amount specified in such notice to such Company Party shall be due and payable by such Company Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (K) below).

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

The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.

(G) In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v), the relevant Company Party shall make a customary representation to the assigning Term Lenders, as applicable, that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if a Borrower or any Parent Company were a public reporting company) with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders who have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, no such representation will be required in the case of open market purchases by Company Parties, which may possess such material non-public information), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made and shall waive any right to bring any action against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in connection with any such Discounted Term Loan Repayment.

(I) Notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.05(a)(v), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon

-101-

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, on or prior to the date which is six (6) months after the Incremental Effective Date, any Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term B-3 Dollar Loans or Term B-2 Euro Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term B-3 Dollar Lenders or Term B-2 Euro Lenders, as applicable, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-3 Dollar Loans or Term B-2 Euro Loans, as applicable, so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term B-3 Dollar Loans or Term B-2 Euro Loans, as applicable, outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that is subject to such Repricing Transaction.

If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Japanese Revolving Credit Loans at any time exceeds 105% of the aggregate Japanese Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the applicable Borrowers shall promptly prepay Japanese Revolving Credit Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans exceeds 105% of the aggregate Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the applicable Borrowers shall promptly prepay Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrowers. Such notice may also further specify a portion of such prepayment to come from more than one Borrower so long as, in the aggregate, all such separate amounts together equal the full amount of such required prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Parent Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)(A) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.

If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrowers.

(vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Parent Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have material adverse tax consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

-105-

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05. Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by the Borrowers for all purposes under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of any Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, any Borrower or the Parent Borrower on its behalf shall be permitted, at its selection, to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any Class of Revolving Credit Facility on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class.

Accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.

(d) The parties agree that, pursuant to the provisions of the Swiss Withholding Tax Act and the current practice of the Swiss tax authorities (and based on the representations set forth in Section 6.17 and Section 9.13), notably of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, no Swiss Withholding Tax applies to interest payments made by the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower provided that the Swiss Non-Bank Rules are complied with. Therefore, the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the interest rates which are set out in and are calculated in accordance with this Section 2.08 shall constitute a “minimum interest rate” and that, notwithstanding the foregoing,

-108-

if Swiss Tax Deduction is required by law in respect of any interest payable under this Agreement by the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower and should it be unlawful for such Swiss Subsidiary Borrower to comply with Section 3.01 below for any reason:

(i) then the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment to the relevant Lender shall be (i) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment as provided for in this Section 2.08 divided by (ii) one (1) minus the rate at which the relevant Swiss Tax Deduction is required to be made under Swiss domestic tax law and/or applicable double taxation treaties; and

(ii) the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall (without duplication) (i) calculate the relevant interest with respect to the relevant Lender at the adjusted rate in accordance with paragraph (i) above, (ii) make the Swiss Tax Deduction on the interest so recalculated and (iii) all references to a rate of interest under this Agreement with respect to Loans to the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall be construed with respect to the relevant Lender accordingly.

(e) The parties acknowledge that the provisions of the Swiss Withholding Tax Act and the current practice of the Swiss tax authorities, notably of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, may change in future and agree that it is in the best interest of all parties hereto that no Swiss Withholding Tax will be payable on the interest payments made with respect to the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement. In the event that the Swiss Withholding Tax Act and the practice of the Swiss tax authorities, notably of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, are modified in a manner that would require the payment of such Swiss Withholding Tax, the Loan Parties and each relevant Lender agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to amend this Agreement to ensure that no Swiss Withholding Tax applies to payments in respect of such interest payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, any such amendments necessary or desirable to limit Swiss Withholding Tax (i) shall be effective with the consent of the Parent Borrower, the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower and each relevant Lender and (ii) shall not be construed to obligate any Loan Party to assume additional or different payment, guaranty or other economic burdens then as currently set forth herein. If, for any reason, this Agreement is not or cannot be amended to limit Swiss Withholding Tax, the parties further agree that to the extent that interest payable by the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each relevant Lender and the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower to obtain authorization (i) to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax or (ii) to being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax at a rate reduced under applicable double taxation treaties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Swiss Withholding Tax is required in respect of any interest payable by the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower, then the applicable interest rate shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 2.08(d), subject to the conditions set forth herein.

(f) Notwithstanding Sections 2.08(d) and 2.08(e) above, the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall not be required to comply with the increased interest rule such as set out under Section 2.08(d) above in respect of a specific Lender or participant if it has breached the Swiss Non-Bank Rules as a direct result of (x) the failure by such specific Lender to satisfy the Ten Non-Bank Rule as of the Original Closing Date or (y) such specific Lender or participant breaching:

(i) its representation as to its status pursuant to Section 9.13 of this Agreement or Section 9.10 of the Original Credit Agreement on the later of the date of the relevant agreement or the date it became a party thereto (as relevant); or

(ii) the requirements and limitations for assignments, transfers, participations and sub-participations (and other obligations) under Section 10.07 of this Agreement or Section 10.6 of the Original Credit Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to comply with the increased interest rule such as set out under Section 2.08(d) above in respect of all Lenders or participants that have complied with their obligations under all provisions referred to under this Section 2.08(f).

-109-

For the avoidance of doubt, the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to comply with the increased interest rule such as set out under Section 2.08(d) above in respect of any Lender if it has otherwise breached the Swiss Non-Bank Rules or if it does not comply with the covenant provided for by Section 6.17.

The principles of Section 3.01 shall apply with respect to refunds or credits received on account of additional interest paid under this Section 2.08.

-110-

SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (other than Foreign Currency Loans with respect to SARON)) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days, or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest, including those with respect to Foreign Currency Loans determined by reference to SARON, shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed; provided that in the case of interest in respect of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, computation of fees and interest shall be made in accordance with market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day.

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent demonstrable error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Register, in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of demonstrable error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s) shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (or, in the case of Obligations in a Foreign Currency, not later than the Applicable Time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received by wire

transfer to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m.(or, in the case of Obligations in a Foreign Currency, after the Applicable Time) shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) (i) Unless the applicable Borrower or the Parent Borrower on its behalf or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date, or in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing, any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder (in the case of the Borrowers, for the account of any Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder or, in the case of the Lenders, for the account of any Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer or Borrower hereunder), that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:

(x) if the Borrowers failed to make such payment, each Lender or L/C Issuer shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender or L/C Issuer in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or L/C Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

(y) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Parent Borrower, and the Parent Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Parent Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(ii) With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”) : (1) the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Parent Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-112-

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Credit Documents under circumstances for which the Credit Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal or interest on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or, if such Lender is a U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal or interest on such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of demonstrable error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

-113-

SECTION 2.14. Incremental Borrowings.

(a) Incremental Commitments. The Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Borrower) may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Loan Request”), request (A) one or more new commitments which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Term A Loans (a “Term A Loan Increase”) or a new Class of term A loans (collectively with any Term A Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term A Commitments”), (B) one or more new commitments which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Term B Loans (a “Term B Loan Increase” and, together with any Term A Loan Increase, a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of term B loans (collectively with any Term B Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term B Commitments” and, together with any Incremental Term A Commitments, the “Incremental Term Commitments”), and/or (C) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) or the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (any such new commitments, collectively with any Revolving Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments” and the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, collectively with any Incremental Term Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders.

(b) Incremental Loans. Any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments effected through the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments or new Term Loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14, (i) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the applicable Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class are effected through the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (including through any Revolving Commitment Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14, (i) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender of such Class shall make its Commitment available to the applicable Borrower (when borrowed, an “Incremental Revolving Loan” and collectively with any Incremental Term Loan, an “Incremental Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Revolving Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans may have identical terms to any of the Term Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Term Loans.

(c) Incremental Loan Request. Each Incremental Loan Request from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment and any Lender that fails to respond to a request for an Incremental Commitment will be deemed to have declined to make an Incremental Commitment, nor will the applicable Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Commitment) or by any other bank or other financial institution or other institutional lenders (any such other bank, other financial institution or other institutional lenders being called an “Additional Lender”) (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Commitment or Loan, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Lender” or “Incremental Term Lender,” as applicable, and, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender, (ii) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, any Affiliated Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(h) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans and (iii) Affiliated Lenders may not provide Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments.

-114-

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, and the Incremental Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Amendment the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the requirement pursuant to this clause (d)(i) shall be that no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments;

(ii) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in Article V and in each other Credit Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates; provided further that, with respect to any Incremental Amendment the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, only the Specified Representations (and not any other representations or warranties in Article V or any of the Credit Documents or otherwise) shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates;

(iii) each Incremental Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000 and shall be in a Dollar Equivalent increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than the Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence) and each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000 and shall be in a Dollar Equivalent increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than the Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence); and

(iv) the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed the sum of (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the greater of (x) $750 million and (y) 25% of Consolidated EBITDA in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (A) and (B) at the option of the Parent Borrower, an unlimited amount of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments so long as the Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is no more than 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended, after giving effect to any such incurrence on a Pro Forma Basis, and, in each case, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment proposed to be incurred at such time, assuming a borrowing of the maximum amount of Loans available thereunder (it being understood that: (x) any Incremental Facility may be incurred under clause (B) regardless of whether there is capacity under clause (A) and (y) if such Incremental Facility may be incurred under both clauses (A) and (B) and the Parent Borrower does not make an election, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred such Incremental Facility under clause (B)); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the proceeds of any Indebtedness are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Transaction for which a LCT Election has been made, the Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall be tested in accordance with Section 1.08(f).

-115-

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments or the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class shall be as agreed between the applicable Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Term A Loans, Term B Loans or any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, each existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall (x) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith) or (y) be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or otherwise market prevailing terms at such time; provided that in the case of a Term A Loan Increase, a Term B Loan Increase or a Revolving Commitment Increase of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term A Loan Increase, Term B Loan Increase or Revolving Commitment Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees) to the applicable Term A Loans, Term B Loans or Class of Revolving Credit Commitments being increased, in each case, as existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date. In any event:

(F) made to the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall not exceed an aggregate Dollar Equivalent of $400,000,000, and

(G) except to the extent provided in the immediately preceding clause (F), may not be borrowed by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof other than the Parent Borrower and/or the U.S. Borrower.

(ii) the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loans:

(A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans,

-116-

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities in effect on the Effective Date (prior to giving effect to any extensions thereof),

(E) shall provide that the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, except that the applicable Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class,

(F) shall provide that assignments and participations of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date,

(G) shall provide that any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments may constitute a separate Class or Classes, as the case may be, of Commitments from the Classes constituting the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments prior to the Incremental Facility Closing Date; provided at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments under a Revolving Credit Facility hereunder (including Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than nine (9) different Maturity Dates unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent,

(H) shall have an Applicable Rate determined by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, and

(I) may be borrowed by the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Borrower.

(iii) the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loans and the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans of each Class shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that with respect to any Loans made under Incremental Term B Commitments, the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term B Loans shall not be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to the Term B Loans established on the Third Restatement Effective Date plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate floor) with respect to the Term B Loans established on the Third Restatement Effective Date is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on such Term B Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term B Loans minus 50 basis points; provided that any increase in All-In Yield to such Term B Loan due to the application of a Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate floor on any Incremental Term B Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate floor applicable to such Term B Loan.

-117-

(f) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Commitment to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Class of Commitments), under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments unless it so agrees.

(g) Reallocation of Revolving Credit Loans. Upon any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which a Revolving Commitment Increase is effected pursuant to this Section 2.14, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders in respect of the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments that is being increased (the “Applicable Revolving Credit Lenders”) shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders and each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the Applicable Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Class outstanding on such Incremental Facility Closing Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by the Applicable Revolving Credit Lenders and Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments for such Class after giving effect to the Revolving Commitment Increase, (b) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan, and (c) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements in Section 2.02 and 2.05(a) of this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(h) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of Section 2.14 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 2.15. Refinancing Amendments.

(a) On one or more occasions after the Effective Date, the applicable Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Refinancing Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of any Class or Classes of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans Extended Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, Other Revolving Credit Loans, Other Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Extension Series), in the form of Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Credit Commitments or Other Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that Lenders shall not be obligated to provide such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness; provided further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15 or otherwise, with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments and Other Revolving Credit Commitments available to the same Borrowers and in the same currencies, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on such Other Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of such Other Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Loans with respect to such Other Revolving Credit Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Credit Commitments available to the same Borrowers and in the same currencies as such Other Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(m) and 2.04(g) to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with

-118-

Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.03(m) and Section 2.04(g), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Other Revolving Credit Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later Maturity Date than such Class and (4) assignments and participations of Other Revolving Credit Commitments and Other Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Credit Documents.

(c) Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under Section 2.15(a) shall be in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount that is not less than $25,000,000.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.

(e) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of Section 2.15 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 2.16. Extensions of Loans.

(a) Extension of Term Loans. The Parent Borrower may, on behalf of the Borrowers, at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class or Classes (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (provided that any Lender that fails to respond to a Term Loan Extension Request will be deemed to have declined to make an Extended Term Loan) and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the All-In Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the All-In Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the

Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Parent Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided, however, that (A) any such Extended Term Loans (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect), (B) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (C) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis, except as expressly provided for herein) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche. Each request for a Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans proposed to be incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount).

(b) Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Parent Borrower may, on behalf of the Borrowers, at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than nine (9) different Maturity Dates (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent); (ii) the All-In Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the All-In Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments); provided, further, that (A) any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect) and (B) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each request for a Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments proposed to be incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount).

-120-

(c) Extension Request. The Parent Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Credit Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Credit Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.

(d) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.16(a) or (b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans required to be paid thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.07), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

-121-

(e) No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.16 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or Existing Revolver Tranche is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.16, in the case of the existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, of each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of Loans (together with, in the case of Extended Term Loans, any other Extended Term Loans or, in the case of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, so established on such date), except as otherwise provided under Sections 2.16(a) and (b). Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.03(m) and 2.04(g) in connection with Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, respectively, which mature or expire after a Maturity Date at any time any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (in respect of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments) with a later Maturity Date are outstanding, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by each Lender with a U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment in accordance with its percentage of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments existing on the date of the Extension of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.03(m) and Section 2.04(g), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans theretofore incurred or issued).

(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of demonstrable administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 10 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion or exchange and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche, or of Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, in either case, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments were initially converted or exchanged, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the final sentence of Section 2.16(d).

(h) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12, 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.16 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 2.17. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

-122-

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.03(i).

(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of that Non-Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender (in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender) should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral to the extent permitted by applicable Law, if any), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other

-123-

Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Facility and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 10.24, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.18. XXXX Event. In connection with any amendment to this Agreement pursuant to which any making, increase, extension or renewal of Loans is contemplated, the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent for any Mortgaged Property, a completed “life of the loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Hazard Determination and for any Mortgaged Property with a building in a special flood hazard area, an acknowledgment by the applicable Loan Party, and evidence of flood insurance, as may be required pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws.

ARTICLE III.

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

SECTION 3.01. Taxes.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by Law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than an Overall Net Income Tax, an Excluded Tax or a Tax excluded from Section 3.01 by the last sentence of Section 3.01(f) or 3.01(h)) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (such Taxes being referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”).

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Credit Documents: (i) the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as practicable after the applicable Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) in the case of any Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Loan Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including deductions, withholdings or payments on additional amounts payable under this section), each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after any Loan Party has paid any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Indemnified Tax which any Loan Party is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority (or if such evidence is not available within thirty days, as soon as practicable thereafter); provided, (i) that the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall not be required to comply with the gross up obligation provided for in this Section 3.01 with respect to Swiss Withholding Taxes and in respect of a specific Lender or participant caused by it breaching the Swiss Non-Bank Rules as a direct result of (x) the failure by such specific Lender to satisfy the Ten Non-Bank Rule as of the Original Closing Date or (y) such specific Lender breaching its representation as to its status pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Original Credit Agreement or Section 9.13 or the failure by such specific Lender or participant to comply with the requirements and limitations for assignments, transfers, and sub-participations (and other obligations) under Section 10.6 of the Original Credit Agreement or Section 10.07 (for the avoidance of doubt, the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower shall be

-124-

required to comply with the gross-up obligation provided for in this Section 3.01 in respect of all Lenders or participants that have complied with their obligations under all provisions referred to under the foregoing parts of this Section 3.01(b)), and (ii) with respect to Loans to the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Borrower or the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower, no additional amount shall be required to be paid under this Section 3.01 with respect to U.S. federal withholding or other U.S. federal income taxes or Japanese withholding or other Japanese national income taxes (with respect to Loans to the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower only) to any Lender (other than a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement or Section 2.22 of the Original Credit Agreement) except to the extent that any change after the Original Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages to the Original Credit Agreement on the Original Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption or the Amendment (as applicable) pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment in respect of U.S. federal withholding or other U.S. federal income taxes or Japanese withholding or other Japanese national income taxes shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the Original Closing Date or at the date of such Assignment and Assumption or the Amendment, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender; provided further that additional amounts with respect to U.S. federal withholding or other U.S. federal income taxes shall be payable to a Lender to the extent such Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive such additional amounts immediately prior to the assignment or such Lender was entitled to receive additional amounts immediately prior to a change in lending office (any U.S. federal income or withholding taxes or Japanese national income or withholding taxes excluded pursuant to the foregoing provisos being “Excluded Taxes”).

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (b) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(d) Tax Indemnification. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, without duplication, each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, including any such Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01, payable by any Lender or the Administrative Agent and any liability (including expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 20 days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. Each Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Eligible Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) shall deliver to the Parent Borrower (on behalf of the applicable Borrower) and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the respective Borrowers hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of payments to be made to such Lender by the respective Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions and (D) whether withholding is required under FATCA and the appropriate amount thereof. Each Lender shall also promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes. Each of the Borrowers shall promptly (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Credit Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction and (ii) provide the Administrative Agent from time to time, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, with information needed to determine whether any payments to be made pursuant to any Credit Document will be subject to any applicable withholding tax, including information needed to determine the source of any payment for applicable withholding tax purposes.

-125-

(f) Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent legally able to do so, each Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Eligible Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) to the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Borrower or to the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower) that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender as of the Effective Date to the extent that such Lender has not already delivered such forms) or on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX and/or W-8IMY (including any required attachments) (or, in each case, any successor forms), as applicable, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding (or is subject to reduced deduction or withholding) of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) in the case of a Lender that is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (including any required attachments) (or, in each case, any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding (or is subject to reduced deduction or withholding) of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender under any of the Credit Documents; provided, however, if payment to a Lender is made to an “agent” of such Lender that is a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” (each within the meaning of Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) of the Treasury regulations), such agent may deliver two properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) instead of the delivery of the specified forms and certificates by the Lender to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (unless the Administrative Agent has reason to believe that such agent will not comply with its obligations to withhold). To the extent legally able to do so and to the extent it has not already done so, each Lender to the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Borrower or to the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower on or prior to the Effective Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time, a change in circumstances or operation of law renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX and/or W-8IMY (including any required attachments) (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (including any required attachments)(or, in each case, any successor forms), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding (or is subject to reduced deduction or withholding) of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amount or make any indemnity payments to any Lender under this Section 3.01 to the extent such additional amounts or indemnity payments relate to U.S. federal withholding taxes resulting from such Lender’s failure to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3.01(f); provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 3.01(f) on the Original Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment and Assumption or the Amendment pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 3.01(f) (if applicable) shall relieve a Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that

such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein; and provided, further, that if a Lender is not legally entitled to deliver a form, certificate or other evidence referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3.01(f) at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or changes its applicable lending office, such Lender shall nevertheless be entitled to additional amounts and indemnity payments in respect of any applicable U.S. federal withholding tax to the extent such Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts or indemnity payments immediately prior to the assignment or such Lender was entitled to receive additional amounts or indemnity payments immediately prior to the change in lending office.

(g) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (including a refund credited towards other tax liability) in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund or credit to the payor, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund to the extent such Taxes are out-of-pocket expenses), as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the recipient, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. This section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Parent Borrower or any other Person and nothing contained herein shall interfere with the right of a Lender or the Administrative Agent to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, nor oblige any Lender or the Administrative Agent to claim any Tax refund or do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(h) Documentation Requirement for Exemption from or Reduction of Japanese Withholding Tax. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent legally able to do so, each Lender to the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower that is a Japanese PE or Japanese Treaty Person shall, on or prior to the Original Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages to the Original Credit Agreement on the Original Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of any Assignment and Assumption or the Amendment (as applicable) pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times upon the request of Japanese Subsidiary Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary in the reasonable determination of Japanese Subsidiary Borrower or the Administrative Agent either (i) in the case of a Japanese PE, present to the Administrative Agent and Japanese Subsidiary Borrower the original withholding tax exemption certificate (gensenchoushuu no menjyo shoumeisho) for the Japanese PE issued by the Japanese tax authority and deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent and Japanese Subsidiary Borrower or (ii) in the case of a Japanese Treaty Person, deliver to the Administrative Agent and Japanese Subsidiary Borrower two original copies of any required applicable Application Form for Income Tax Convention (Sozeijyouyaku ni Kansuru Todokedesho) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, any required residency certificate for such Lender issued by the tax authority of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is a resident, and such other documentation, all as may be required under the Laws of Japan to establish that Japanese withholding tax on any interest payable by Japanese Subsidiary Borrower under any of the Credit Documents is exempted or reduced by Japan by virtue of the provisions of an applicable Japanese Tax Treaty, and reasonably requested by Japanese Subsidiary Borrower or the Administrative Agent (such withholding tax exemption certificate in (i) herein, and such applicable form, residency certificate, and such other documentation in (ii) herein, collectively, “Withholding Exemption Document”). For purposes of this paragraph (h), in the case of a Lender that is a Japanese Treaty Person by virtue of the provisions of a Japanese LOB Tax Treaty, two original copies of the applicable Application Form for Income Tax Convention (Sozeijyouyaku ni Kansuru Todokedesho) and other necessary forms and documents properly completed and duly executed by such Lender and residency certificate for such Lender issued by the tax authority of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is a resident are deemed to have been reasonably requested by Japanese Subsidiary Borrower prior to the Original Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages to the Original Credit Agreement on the Original Closing Date) or the date of any Assignment and Assumption or the Amendment (as applicable) pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender). No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amount or make any indemnity payments to any Lender under this Section 3.01 to the extent such additional amounts or indemnity payments relate to withholding of Japanese income tax (gensen shotokuzei) on interest payable by Japanese Subsidiary Borrower resulting from such Lender’s failure to comply with this Section 3.01(h); provided, however, that if such Lender shall have complied with this Section 3.01(h) on the Original Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment

-127-

and Assumption or the Amendment pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 3.01(h) shall relieve a Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, including a treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, (i) payments to such Lender of interest payable by Japanese Subsidiary Borrower under any of the Credit Documents are no longer entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding of Japanese income tax (gensen shotokuzei) upon presentation and/or delivery, as applicable, of the Withholding Exemption Documents as described in this Section 3.01(h) or (ii) such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver the Withholding Exemption Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the documents described in the foregoing sentence).

(i) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrowers and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) or (h).

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 3.01, include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender.

SECTION 3.02. Illegality or Impracticability of Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that (1) the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market or (2) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates which would make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency to the applicable Borrower, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (1)(i) or (2) of the preceding sentence or (y) a notice from Lenders constituting Required Lenders pursuant to clause (1)(ii) of the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (1)(i) or (2) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding sentence, Foreign Currency Loans) shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender (which each Affected Lender agrees to do promptly upon the circumstances in clause (1) or (2) of the preceding sentence ceasing to exist), (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Foreign Currency Loan then being requested by a Borrower pursuant to a Committed Loan Notice, the Lenders (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (1)(i) or (2) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan or a non-Foreign Currency Loan, as applicable, (3) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (1)(i) or (2) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Foreign Currency Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by Law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding sentence, at the sole option of the applicable Borrower, the Affected Loans shall either be repaid or converted into Dollars as Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Foreign Currency Loan then being requested by a Borrower pursuant to a Committed Loan Notice, such Borrower shall have the option to rescind such Committed Loan Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender), and, for the avoidance of

-128-

doubt, no amount shall be payable by such Borrower under Section 3.05 in connection with such rescission. If it becomes illegal for any Lender to hold or benefit from a Lien over real estate assets pursuant to any applicable law, such Lender may notify the Administrative Agent and disclaim any benefit of such security interest to the extent of such illegality, but such illegality shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such Lien for the benefit of each of the other Lenders.

SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement.

(a) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Quotation Date with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate,” the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to each Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly upon such change in circumstances), (ii) any Foreign Currency Loans shall be converted to or continued, at the sole option of the applicable Borrower, in Dollars as Base Rate Loans and (iii) any Committed Loan Notice given by any Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by such Borrower (for the avoidance of doubt, without any amount being payable by such Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents:

(i) On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month U.S. dollar LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of U.S dollar LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then-current Relevant Rate applicable to Dollars is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Relevant Rate with respect to Dollars for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any setting of such Relevant Rate on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(ii) (x) Upon (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a determination by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Parent Borrower that neither of the alternatives under clause (A) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement are available, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Applicable Rate with respect to Dollars for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Relevant Rate setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that solely in the event that the then-current Relevant Rate at the time of such Benchmark Transition Event is not a SOFR-based rate, the Benchmark Replacement therefor shall be determined in accordance with clause (A) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement unless the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Parent Borrower that neither of such alternative rates is available.

(y) On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

-129-

(iii) At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Parent Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Parent Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(iv) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(v) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03(b).

(vi) At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings. The following definitions are applicable for the purposes of this Section 3.03(b):

(1) “Available Tenor” shall mean, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

(2) “Benchmark” shall mean, initially, LIBOR; provided that if a replacement of the Benchmark has occurred pursuant to Section 3.03(b) then “Benchmark” shall mean the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate. Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

(3) “Benchmark Replacement” shall mean:

(A) For purposes of Section 3.03(b)(i), the first alternative set forth below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:

(I) the sum of: (i) Term SOFR and (ii) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points) for an Available Tenor of one-month’s duration, 0.26161% (26.161 basis points) for an Available Tenor of three-months’ duration,

-130-

0.42826% (42.826 basis points) for an Available Tenor of six-months’ duration, and 0.71513% (71.513 basis points) for an Available Tenor of twelve-months’ duration, or (II) the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points);

provided that, if initially LIBOR is replaced with the rate contained in clause (II) above (Daily Simple SOFR plus the applicable spread adjustment) and subsequent to such replacement, the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Parent Borrower that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and each applicable Lender of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Benchmark Replacement shall be as set forth in clause (I) above; and

(B) For purposes of Section 3.03(b)(ii), the sum of (a) the alternate benchmark rate and (b) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower as the replacement Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by a Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;

provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (I) or (II) above would be less than 0.00%, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Any Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Parent Borrower.

(4) “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement or any Successor Rate as described in Section 3.03(c), any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in consultation with the Parent Borrower may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement or Successor Rate as described in Section 3.03(c) and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement or Successor Rate as described in Section 3.03(c) exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides in consultation with the Parent Borrower is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents).

-131-

(5) “Benchmark Transition Event” shall mean, with respect to any then-current Benchmark other than LIBOR, the occurrence of a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the then-current Benchmark or a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such administrator announcing or stating that all Available Tenors are or will no longer be representative, or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide any representative tenors of such Benchmark after such specific date.

(6) “Daily Simple SOFR” with respect to any applicable determination date shall mean the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) published on such date by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website (or any successor source).

(7) “Early Opt-in Effective Date” shall mean, with respect to any Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(8) “Early Opt-in Election” shall mean the occurrence of:

(A) a determination by the Administrative Agent, or a notification by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent that the Parent Borrower has made a determination, that U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in Section 3.03(b), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, and

(B) the joint election by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement and the provision by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Lenders.

(9) “Other Rate Early Opt-in” shall mean the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower have elected to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement other than a SOFR-based rate pursuant to (1) an Early Opt-in Election and (2) Section 3.03(b)(ii) and paragraph (B) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”.

(10) “Relevant Governmental Body” shall mean the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.

(11) “SOFR Early Opt-in” shall mean the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower have elected to replace LIBOR pursuant to (1) an Early Opt-in Election and (2) Section 3.03(b) and paragraph (A) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”.

-132-

(12) “Term SOFR” shall mean, for the applicable corresponding tenor (or if any Available Tenor of a Benchmark does not correspond to an Available Tenor for the applicable Benchmark Replacement, the closest corresponding Available Tenor and if such Available Tenor corresponds equally to two Available Tenors of the applicable Benchmark Replacement, the corresponding tenor of the shorter duration shall be applied), the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Parent Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Foreign Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Foreign Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such Foreign Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Foreign Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Foreign Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely); or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for an Foreign Currency;

(iv) or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Foreign Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Foreign Currency in accordance with this Section 3.03(c)(iv) with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Foreign Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Foreign Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Parent Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Parent Borrower and each applicable Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

-133-

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Parent Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0.00%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in consultation with the Parent Borrower from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. In the event that any Change in Law: (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, any Excluded Taxes, any Taxes in clauses (a) or (c) or (d) of the definition of “Overall Net Income Taxes” and any Taxes excluded from Section 3.01 by the last sentence of Section 3.01(f) or Section 3.01(h)) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.04(c)) or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 3.04(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent demonstrable error. For purposes of this Section 3.04(a), the term “Lender” shall include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include L/C Issuer for purposes of this Section 3.04(b)) shall have reasonably determined that any Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Parent Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 3.04(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

-134-

(c) Reserves. The applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or participations in or issuance of Letters of Credit by such Lender, equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Borrower, or participations in or issuance of Letters of Credit by such Lender, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date following notice by such Lender to the Parent Borrower, together with reasonably detailed backup documentation, on which interest is payable on such Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein; provided that it is the applicable Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the applicable Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower or the Parent Borrower on its behalf; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07;

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02,

-135-

as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect. For purposes of this Section 3.06, the term “Lender” shall include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender.

(b) Suspension of Lender Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation by any Borrower under Section 3.04, the Parent Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect; provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (v) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives any Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver and amendment) and the related Credit Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that

(a) the applicable Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b)(ii)(B);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent Borrower;

(c) such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (1) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to all, or a portion as applicable, of such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (2) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure;

(d) the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender;

-136-

(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(f) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws;

(g) any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time when it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit; and

(h) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent cannot be replaced in its capacity as the Administrative Agent other than in accordance with Section 9.06,

or (y) terminate the Commitment (if any) of such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and (a) in the case of a Lender (other than an L/C Issuer), repay all Obligations of the applicable Class of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (b) in the case of an L/C Issuer, repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such L/C Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such L/C Issuer as of such termination date and Cash Collateralize, cancel or backstop, or provide for the deemed reissuance under another facility, on terms satisfactory to such L/C Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that in the case of any such termination of the Commitment of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Credit Documents and such termination shall, with respect to clause (iii) above, be in respect of all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver and amendment.

In the event that (i) the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Credit Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each affected Lender or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and/or Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all affected Lenders of a certain Class or Classes (including to the extent such Classes constitute all outstanding Classes), the Required Facility Lenders) have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including in Section 10.07), by receiving the amounts described in clause (b) above, each Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically be deemed to have assigned its Loans pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption, and accordingly no other action by such Non-Consenting Lender shall be required in connection therewith.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Parent Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 3.08. Survival. All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Equity Interests issued to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity Interests, as applicable, being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity Interests is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

-175-

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, but subject to Sections 8.04(b) and (c), for the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default under either Financial Covenant has occurred, the Parent Borrower may on one or more occasions designate any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from a sale or issuance of Qualified Equity Interests or of any contribution to the common capital of the Parent Borrower (or from any other contribution to capital or sale or issuance of any other Equity Interests on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) (the “Cure Amount”) as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable fiscal quarter (it being understood that each designated Cure Amount will be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of both Financial Covenants even if only required for compliance with one Financial Covenant); provided that such amounts to be designated (i) are actually received by the Parent Borrower (x) on or after the first day of the applicable fiscal quarter and (y) on or prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements are delivered with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”), (ii) do not exceed the maximum aggregate amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the applicable Financial Covenant(s) as of such date and (iii) the Parent Borrower shall have provided notice (the “Notice of Intent to Cure”) to the Administrative Agent on the date such amounts are designated as a “Cure Amount” (it being understood that to the extent such notice is provided in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the applicable period, the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds that is designated as the Cure Amount may be lower than specified in such notice to the extent that the amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenant(s) is less than the full amount of such originally designated amount). The Cure Amount used to calculate Consolidated EBITDA for one fiscal quarter shall be used and included when calculating Consolidated EBITDA for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.04(a) may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to the Financial Covenants (and shall not be included for purposes of determining pricing, mandatory prepayments and the availability or amount permitted pursuant to any covenant under Article VII) and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including the amount of Indebtedness) or increase in cash with respect to the quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount was made other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, except to the extent such proceeds are actually applied to prepay Indebtedness under the Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, (A) upon designation of the Cure Amount by the Parent Borrower, the Financial Covenants shall be deemed satisfied and complied with as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with the Financial Covenants and any Event of Default under the Financial Covenants (and any other Default as a result thereof) shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Credit Documents, and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may exercise any rights or remedies under Section 8.02 (or under any other Credit Document) on the basis of any actual or purported Event of Default under the Financial Covenants (and any other Default as a result thereof) until and unless the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Cure Amount having been designated.

(b) In each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be no more than two (2) fiscal quarters in which the cure right set forth in Section 8.04(a) is exercised.

(c) There can be no more than five (5) fiscal quarters in which the cure rights set forth in Section 8.04(a) are exercised during the term of the Facilities.

ARTICLE IX.

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Sections 9.06 (solely with respect to (a) the removal and consent rights of the Parent Borrower set forth therein and (b) the requirement for execution, filing and other actions with respect to the Collateral Documents and other collateral documentation set forth therein) and 9.10) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Credit Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank) and L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.05), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Credit Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders.

SECTION 9.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

SECTION 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (including the Administrative Agent):

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and

-177-

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 of the Amendment, Section 4.02 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

Each Agent-Related Person may rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or an L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or an L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.06. Resignation of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Parent Borrower may remove such Defaulting Lender from such role upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Parent Borrower at all times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) (which consent of the Parent Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld

-178-

or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. 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 the Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring the Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuers, appoint a successor the Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or L/C Issuers under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor the Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor the Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (i) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (ii) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) the Administrative Agent, and the retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor the Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring the Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring the Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) such retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 9.07. Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, Bookrunners, or Lead Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder.

SECTION 9.09. The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

-179-

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04 and 10.05.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

SECTION 9.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank) and L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to:

(a) automatically release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted, (ii) Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations that have been Cash Collateralized, back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer (other than to the Parent Borrower or any Guarantor or by a Swiss Credit Party to another Swiss Credit Party) permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor or a Swiss Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor or Swiss Guarantor from its obligations under its U.S. Guaranty or Swiss Guaranty, as applicable, pursuant to clause (c) below;

(b) release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.01(p) to the extent required by the holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens; and

(c) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the U.S. Guaranty or any Swiss Guarantor from its obligations under the Swiss Guaranty, if in the case of any Subsidiary, such Person becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or ceases to be a Material Domestic Subsidiary wholly owned by the Parent Borrower or any Guarantor or a Material Swiss Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Junior Financing.

-180-

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the U.S. Guaranty or Swiss Guarantor from its obligations under the Swiss Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Parent Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the U.S. Guaranty or Swiss Guarantor from its obligations under the Swiss Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 9.10.

The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement and the Lenders acknowledge that any such intercreditor agreement is binding upon the Lenders.

SECTION 9.11. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guaranty or any Collateral Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

SECTION 9.12. Withholding Tax Indemnity. To the extent required by any applicable Laws (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Parent Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or otherwise against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.12, include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender, (ii) the Loan Parties shall not be responsible for any amount described in this Section 9.12 and (iii) nothing in Section 9.12 shall expand or limit the obligations of the Loan Parties under 3.01. The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

SECTION 9.13. Lenders’ Representation, Warranties and Acknowledgement.

(a) Each Lender participating in any Loan to the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower represents and warrants at the Effective Date and on the date of each Credit Extension of such Loan as to its status as either (a) a Qualifying

-181-

Bank, or (b) not a Qualifying Bank, and each Lender becoming a Lender of the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07 shall represent and warrant as of the effective date of such assignment as to its status as either (a) a Qualifying Bank or (b) not a Qualifying Bank.

(b) Each Lender participating in any Loan to the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower represents and warrants at the Effective Date and on the date of each Credit Extension of such Loan as to its status as an Eligible Japanese Investor, and each Lender becoming a Lender of the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07 shall represent and warrant as of the effective date of such assignment as to its status as an Eligible Japanese Investor.

SECTION 9.14. Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender or any L/C Issuer (the “Lender Recipient Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith within one business day the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender Recipient Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender Recipient Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount

ARTICLE X.

Miscellaneous

SECTION 10.01. Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and no consent to any departure by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (other than with respect to any amendment or waiver contemplated in: (x) clauses (a), (b), (c), (j) and (k) below, which shall only require the consent of the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby and (y) clauses (g), (h) or (i) below (in the case of clause (i), to the extent permitted by Section 2.14), which shall only require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility or Facilities, as applicable) (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), the Parent Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to acknowledge any such waiver, consent or amendment that otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 10.01 as promptly as possible, however, to the extent the final form of such waiver, consent or amendment has been delivered to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the proposed effectiveness of the consents by the Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge such waiver, consent or amendment (i) immediately, in the case of any amendment which does not require the consent of any existing Lender under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise, within two hours of the time copies of the Required Lender consents or other applicable Lender consents required by this Section 10.01 have been provided to the Administrative Agent; and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender and that a waiver of the requirement to permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under certain circumstances as set forth in Section 2.06(b)(i) shall be deemed to be an extension of the Commitment of each Lender that holds Revolving Credit Commitments as of the date of a waiver of such condition);

-182-

(b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.07 or 2.08 (other than pursuant to Section 2.08(b)) or postpone any date for the payment of fees hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and it further being understood that any change to the definitions of “Interest Coverage Ratio,” “Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio,” “Total Net Leverage Ratio,” “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or “Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio” or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any amount of interest;

(c) reduce the principal of, amortization payment of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, it being understood that any change to the definitions of “Interest Coverage Ratio,” “Senior Secured First Lien Net Leverage Ratio,” “Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio,” “Total Net Leverage Ratio” or “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(d) except as contemplated by clause (c) in the sentence immediately after the second proviso to this Section 10.01, change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Facility Lenders,” or “Pro Rata Share” or any other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Credit Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that each Lender shall be directly and adversely affected by a change to the “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” definitions);

(e) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; or

(g) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the waiver of any conditions set forth in Section 4.02 as to any Credit Extension under one or more Facilities) which directly affects Lenders under one or more Facilities and does not directly affect Lenders under any other Facilities, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Facility or Facilities (and in the case of multiple Facilities which are affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility); provided, however, that the waivers described in this clause (g) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Facility Lenders under such Facility or Facilities (it being understood that any amendment to the conditions of effectiveness of Incremental Commitments set forth in Section 2.14 shall be subject to clause (i) below);

(h) amend or otherwise modify the Financial Covenants or any definition related thereto (as any such definition is used for purposes of the Financial Covenants) or waive any Default or Event of Default resulting from a failure to perform or observe the Financial Covenants without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facilities (such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility); provided, however, that the waivers described in this clause (h) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Facility Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facilities and the Term A Facilities;

(i) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the availability and conditions to funding under Section 2.14 with respect to Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and the rate of interest applicable thereto) which directly affects Lenders of one or more Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and does not directly affect Lenders under any other Facility, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (and in the case of multiple Facilities which are affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility);

-183-

(j) amend Section 1.09(c) (except to shorten or waive any time periods provided for therein) or the definition of “Foreign Currency” without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(k) make any Loan, interest, fee or other amount payable in any currency other than as expressly provided herein without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(l) change the jurisdiction of organization, incorporation or formation of any Borrower (provided that the jurisdiction of incorporation of the U.S. Borrower and the Parent Borrower may be changed so long as the new jurisdiction of incorporation is the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or any territory thereof) without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; and

provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; provided, however, that this Agreement may be amended to adjust the mechanics related to the issuance of Letters of Credit, including mechanical changes relating to the existence of multiple L/C Issuers, with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower so long as the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders, if any, who have not executed such amendment and, if applicable, the other L/C Issuers, if any, who have not executed such amendment, are not adversely affected thereby; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be amended to adjust the borrowing mechanics related to Swing Line Loans, with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Parent Borrower so long as the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders, if any, who have not executed such amendment, are not adversely affected thereby; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; (iv) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; and (v) the consent of the applicable Required Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under one or more Term Facilities (and in the case of multiple Term Facilities which are so adversely affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Term Facility) in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Term Facilities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

(a) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders);

(b) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt, secured Incremental Equivalent Debt or other secured Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 7.03 (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and provided, that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; and

-184-

(c) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower and any other applicable Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, any other applicable Borrower and the Lenders and Additional Refinancing Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, plus unpaid accrued interest, upfront fees, original issue discount, premiums (including tender premium) (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees and expenses associated with such Replacement Term Loans, (b) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Refinanced Term Loans immediately prior to such refinancing unless the maturity of the Replacement Term Loans is at least one year later than the maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing; provided that any such Replacement Term Loans may contain a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant if the Administrative Agent is given prompt written notice of such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant and this Agreement is modified on or prior to the date of the incurrence (it being understood the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required for such modification) of such Replacement Term Loans to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility, it being understood that upon the amendment of this Agreement to include any such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant, any subsequent amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement as it pertains to such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant shall only be permitted in the manner described in Section 10.01. Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Term Loans may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions in this Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Parent Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

If the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Credit Document), then the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion) and the Parent Borrower or any other relevant Loan Party shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Document. Notification of such amendment shall be made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders promptly upon such amendment becoming effective.

In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties or any Lead Arranger (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Holdings, the Parent Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Parent Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or administrative notices provided by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, or any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of

-186-

such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Holdings, the Parent Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws.

(f) Reliance by the Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Parent Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Person, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Credit Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Parent Borrower agrees (a) if the Effective Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the other Agents for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred on or after the Effective Date (promptly following written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction, and (b) after the Effective Date, upon presentation of a summary statement, together with any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower, to promptly pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole (and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel to the Administrative Agent and Lenders taken as a whole in any relevant jurisdiction and, solely in the event of any conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated affected persons taken as a whole)). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by the Parent Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail; provided that, with respect to the Effective Date, all amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid on the Effective Date solely to the extent invoiced to the Parent Borrower within three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Credit Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. This Section 10.04 shall not apply to Taxes that are the subject of, or excluded from Sections 3.01 or 3.04.

SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, each Lender, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, members, advisors and other representatives of the foregoing (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims and expenses (including Attorney Costs, but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnitees) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Credit Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, or (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability of the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (a “Proceeding”) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding is brought by the Parent Borrower or any other person and, in each case, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims or expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, controlling persons, director, officer, employee, agent, partners, member, advisor or other representative of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Credit Document by such Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, controlling persons, director, officer, employee, member, agent, partners, advisor or other representative of such Indemnitee, as

-188-

determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than (1) any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or arranger or any similar role under any Facility and (2) any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Parent Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Parent Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except for direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential) damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, of any such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability and each party hereby waives, any claim against any other party to this Agreement or any Indemnitee for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Effective Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party and for any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within thirty (30) Business Days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, other than Taxes that represent liabilities, losses, damages, etc., resulting from a non-Tax claim.

To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under this Section 10.05 or Section 10.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), L/C Issuers or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting the Borrowers’ obligation to do so), each Appropriate Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), L/C Issuers or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e).

SECTION 10.06. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

(C) other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters, Japanese income tax withholding matters and withholding tax matters of any other jurisdiction as the assignee under such Assignment and Assumption may be required to deliver pursuant to Sections 3.01(e), (f) and (h).

(iii) Loans to the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower. Each Lender participating in any Loan to the Swiss Subsidiary Borrower that is a Qualifying Bank undertakes to:

(A) promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower if it has ceased or will or is likely to cease to be a Qualifying Bank; and

(B) upon request of the Parent Borrower provide an assignee which is a Qualifying Bank and transfer all its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such assignee.

This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender

-191-

hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, to the requirements of clause (h) of this Section), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to subsection (l) below, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the relevant Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to subsections (h) or (l) below, and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Disqualified Institution which has been identified as such to the Lenders) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Parent Borrower’s consent shall be required in the case of (A) a sale of a participation in any Japanese Revolving Credit Loans or Japanese Revolving Credit Commitments to a Person who is not an Eligible Japanese Investor and (B) a sale of a participation in any Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans or Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments to a Non-Qualifying Bank, and any purported sale of a participation or a sub-participation or any other arrangement under which a Lender substantially transfers its exposure under this Agreement without the receipt of required consent shall be null and void, except in the case of a Non-Harmful Subparticipation (it being understood that the Parent Borrower will have the right to withhold its consent to: (x) a participation or sub-participation of Japanese Revolving Credit Loans or Japanese Revolving Credit Commitments to a Person who is not an Eligible Japanese Investor, (y) a participation or sub-participation of Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans or Swiss/Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments to a Non-Qualifying Bank, unless such Non-Qualifying Bank is a Lender which is a Permitted Non-Qualifying Bank and (z) any participation or sub-participation, other

-192-

than a Non-Harmful Subparticipation, of that might result in a breach of the Ten Non-Bank Rule) and (iv) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Xxxxxxx 00.00 (xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx (x), (x), (x), (x), (x) and (l) thereof) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (and for the avoidance of doubt, shall have no direct rights against the Borrowers) (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e), (f) and (h) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation shall (acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower) maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which is entered the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). A Lender shall not be obligated to disclose the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and the Lenders, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other Governmental Authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (a “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05) (unless the grant to such SPC is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document, remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign

-193-

all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h) Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.05(a)(v) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II;

(ii) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders who elect not to receive such information) or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made;

(iii) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower a customary Big Boy Letter (unless such Affiliated Lender is willing, in its sole discretion, to make the representation and warranty contemplated by the foregoing clause (ii));

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of any Class of Term Loans at such time outstanding (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(v) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this subsection (h), the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit E-2 in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such; and

(vi) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-3 or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”);

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (h) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrowers for the purpose of cancelling and extinguished such Term Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrowers and (y) the Parent Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify

-194-

the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit E-2. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon any notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and/or pursuant to clause (v) of this subsection (h) and shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” or “Required Facility Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 10.07(j), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

(A) all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have taken any actions; and

(B) all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that and that each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.

(k) Although Debt Fund Affiliates shall be Eligible Assignees and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 10.07(h), (i) or (j), any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, a Debt Fund Affiliate only through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.05(a)(v) (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliate) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, all Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates, in the aggregate, may not account for more than 49.9% of the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 10.01.

-195-

(l) Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.05(a)(v); provided, that:

(i) (x) if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrowers; or (y) if the assignee is one or more Borrowers (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrowers shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrowers and (c) the Parent Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register;

(ii) each Person that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (l) shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders who elect not to receive such information) or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made; and

(iii) purchases of Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (l) may not be funded with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Credit Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall have identified a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, except as expressly provided above. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

-196-

SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, members, stockholders, attorneys, accountants, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives who need to know such Information in connection with this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Parent Borrower as soon as practicable prior to any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority as part of a regulatory examination) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Parent Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority as part of a regulatory examination) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08 (or as otherwise acceptable to the Parent Borrower as agreed in writing), to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be an Additional Lender, (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations or (iii) any actual or prospective investor in a SPC, (g) with the consent of the Parent Borrower, (h) to any rating agency when required by it on a customary basis and after consultation with the Parent Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, and which source is not known by such Agent or Lender to be subject to a confidentiality restriction in respect thereof in favor of the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate of the Parent Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof; it being understood that all information received from Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary after the Effective Date shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

SECTION 10.09. Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Parent Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of the Parent Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,

-197-

the L/C Issuers, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and each of its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.09, none of the Lenders, L/C Issuers or their respective Affiliates may setoff and apply any deposits or other obligations owing by any Lender, L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit of: (a) any Swiss Credit Party against any Obligations of the Parent Borrower, the Guarantors or the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower and (b) the Japanese Subsidiary Borrower against any Obligations of the Parent Borrower, the Guarantors or the Swiss Loan Parties.

SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law, including the Interest Rate Restriction Law (Law No. 100 of 1954) of Japan and the Law Concerning Regulations of Acceptance of Contribution, Deposit and Interest, Etc. (Law No. 195 of 1954) of Japan, or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable Laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than applicable Laws now allow (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.11. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any separate letter agreements, solely to the extent with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4 of the Amendment, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, .pdf or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12. Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. This Agreement, any Credit Document and any other document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each Borrower agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Borrower to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the such Person’s

-198-

business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions; provided that the Lenders shall charge no fee in connection with any such amendment. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
