above, solely to the extent the availability of such rights or remedies arise from any Specified
Default (or in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), from a cross-default (including resulting from
any event of default or termination event under any Hedging Agreement) resulting from any Specified
Default); provided that, except with respect to those provisions, limitations, restrictions
and prohibitions under any of the
5
Loan Documents, the breach, noncompliance or nonperformance of which results in any Specified
Default, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall comply during the Accommodation Period with all
provisions, limitations, restrictions or prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or

the Required Total Participant Lenders in the case of any other Accommodation Default or any
Automatic Accommodation Termination Default, deliver to the Borrower a notice terminating the
Accommodation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Automatic Accommodation Termination Default, and prior to the termination of the
Accommodation Agreement, delivery of such notice is not a condition to termination of the
Accommodation Agreement under clause (ii) of the definition of Accommodation Period, but will
immediately operate to terminate the Accommodation Period under clause (iii) of the definition of
Accommodation Period.
(c) Upon the expiration or termination of the Accommodation Period, the agreement of the
Participant Lenders pursuant to Section 2(a) above to forbear from inter alia
exercising their remedies, and the direction to the Administrative Agent not to take or exercise
certain actions or remedies pursuant to Sections 2(a)(i) and 2(a)(v) above, shall immediately
terminate without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of
which the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby waive. The Borrower and the Guarantors agree that the
Administrative Agent and the Participant Lenders may at any time thereafter proceed to exercise any
and all of their respective rights and remedies under any or all of the Loan Documents and/or
applicable law, including, without limitation, their respective rights and remedies in connection
with any or all of the defaults and Events of Default, including, without limitation, the Specified
Defaults.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein (i) limits the right of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders, including during the Accommodation Period, to take any action to preserve or
exercise or enforce rights or remedies nor (ii) constitutes a waiver of such rights, in either case
against parties other than the Borrower and the Guarantors (“Third Party Rights”). For
purposes of the foregoing, the Borrower and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that execution and
delivery of this Accommodation Agreement shall constitute the making of any necessary demand or the
giving of any necessary notice for purposes of preserving and/or permitting the exercise of any
such Third Party Rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(e) Execution of this Accommodation Agreement constitutes a direction by the Participant
Lenders that the Administrative Agent act in accordance with its terms.
6
Notwithstanding the foregoing (and without limitation to the rights of the Borrower and the
Guarantors to pursue all available remedies available in each case thereto under applicable law
which may result from breach or non-performance by any Participant Lender of this Agreement or any
of such Participant Lender’s obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent shall have no
liability to the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Lender, for taking any action at the request of
the Required Lenders, even if such action is inconsistent with this Accommodation Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant Lender hereby agrees not to take any action,
including without limitation directing the Administrative Agent to take any action, inconsistent
with or in breach of this Accommodation Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that any
actions taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Accommodation
Agreement are at the request of and with the consent of the Required Lenders under the Credit
Agreement, and the Administrative Agent may rely thereon for purposes of Article 8 of the Credit
Agreement.
(f) The Borrower and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the agreement of the
Participant Lenders hereunder to forbear from, and to request the Administrative Agent to forbear
from, exercising their remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults shall not constitute a
waiver of such Specified Defaults, and that except as expressly provided herein, the Lenders
expressly reserve all rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders now or may
in the future have under any or all of the Loan Documents and/or applicable law in connection with
all defaults and Events of Default (including without limitation the Specified Defaults).
3. Accommodation Covenants. (a) Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Maturity Date
or any Specified Default, the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby agree to comply with all of the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, as amended by this Accommodation Agreement, during the
Accommodation Period, except to the extent that the breach, noncompliance or nonperformance of any
such term or condition results in a Specified Default.
(b) During the Accommodation Period, the Borrower shall promptly give to the Administrative
Agent notice in writing of the occurrence of any Automatic Accommodation Termination Default or
Accommodation Default, or the occurrence of any event or circumstance which with the passage of
time or giving of notice or both would constitute an Automatic Accommodation Termination Default or
Accommodation Default.

secure any intercompany loans made by the Loan Parties in favor of Luxembourg Holdco I existing on

managers’ or directors’ duties or require a prior consent or approval from a Governmental Authority
or a third party which has neither been obtained nor can reasonably be obtained or (ii) a material
adverse effect on the tax, cash management and/or other operating arrangements of Luxembourg Holdco
