“Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate”: with respect to any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserves; provided that, if the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as so determined, would be less than 1.00%(x) 0.50% during the Suspension Period, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.000.50% for purposes of this Agreement and (y) zero otherwise, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

“Adjustment Date”: as defined in the Pricing Grid.

“Administrative Agent”: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., together with its branches and affiliates, as the administrative agent for the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with any of its permitted successors.

If the Alternate Base Rate, as so determined, would be less than (x) 1.50% during the Suspension Period, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.50% for purposes of this Agreement and (y) 1.00% otherwise, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement.

“Alternative Currency Equivalent”: for any amount of any Optional Currency, at the time of determination thereof, (a) if such amount is expressed in such Optional Currency, such amount and (b) if such amount is expressed in Dollars, the equivalent of such amount in such Optional Currency determined by using the rate of exchange for the purchase of such Optional Currency with Dollars last provided (either by publication or otherwise provided to the Administrative Agent) by the applicable Reuters source on the Business Day (New York City time) immediately preceding the date of determination or if such service ceases to be available or ceases to provide a

SECTION 1.3 Exchange Rates. (a) Not later than 1:00 P.M., Local Time, on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date for each Optional Currency in which a Revolving Extension of Credit is then outstanding or will be outstanding, after giving effect to any submitted borrowing notices or Applications, and (ii) give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date.

(b) Not later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the aggregate amount of Revolving Extensions of Credit in Optional Currencies on such date (after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Loans or Letters of Credit to be made or issued in connection with such determination), and (ii) notify the Parent Borrower of such determination.

SECTION 1.4 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, which, with respect to Loans in any currency other than euros, is derived from the London interbank offered ratea Loan denominated in Dollars or an Optional Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administratiorn, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any currency other than euros. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election with respect to any applicable currency, Section 2.17(b) of this Agreement, such Section 2.17and (bc) provides athe mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest for Loans denominated in such currency. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.17(e), in advance of any change to the reference rate for any currency upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such currency is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.17(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.17(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.17(b), for any currency will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurocurrency Rate or, with respect to Loans denominated in any currency other than euros, have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

(b) The Parent Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and the date that is five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a USD Revolving Credit Loan is borrowed, the Parent Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such USD Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.

SECTION 2.7 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) Whenever the Parent Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make a Swingline Loan, it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period).

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Parent Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each USD Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each USD Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a USD Revolving Credit Loan, in an amount equal to such USD Revolving Credit Lender’s USD Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each USD Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of such USD Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such USD Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately made available by the

52

The Parent Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Parent Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the USD Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a USD Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, USD Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each USD Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such USD Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such USD Revolving Credit Lender’s USD Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans of the Swingline Lender then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such USD Revolving Credit Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any USD Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its ratable portion of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such USD Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each USD Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such USD Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article V; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other USD Revolving Credit Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.8 Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VIII), the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender made to it and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Term Loan Lender, the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender made to it in installments according to the applicable amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 (or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, the amortization schedule set forth in the applicable Increased Facility Activation Notice) (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VIII) (subject to any reductions in such amount resulting from the application of

53

prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12). Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum and on the dates set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the respective Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.9 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the sum of (i) the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility of such Lender and (ii) the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of the USD Revolving Credit Facility of such Lender, in each case during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

(b) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date.

(c) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.10 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) The Parent Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice (provided that any such notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of a transaction or other event and, if such condition is not satisfied on or prior to the date of the applicable termination or reduction, may be revoked by the Parent Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent, to

54

terminate the USD Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the USD Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the (i) the Total USD Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total USD Revolving Credit Commitments or (ii) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

(b) The Parent Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice (provided that any such notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of a transaction or other event and, if such condition is not satisfied on or prior to the date of the applicable termination or reduction, may be revoked by the Parent Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments then in effect. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall be reduced to zero upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date and (ii) except with respect to a Defaulting Lender, if any (to the extent of any applicable unfunded amount), immediately after the funding thereof on the Filtration Acquisition Closing Date.

SECTION 2.11 Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice (provided that any such notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of a transaction or other event and, if such condition is not satisfied on or prior to the date of such prepayment, may be revoked by the Parent Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent) delivered to the Administrative Agent (a) at least three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, (b) at least five Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Optional Currency, and (c) at least one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans; provided that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the respective Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. Subject to the parenthetical contained in the preceding sentence, if any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to remaining installments of the Term Loans as directed by the Parent Borrower.

SECTION 2.12 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) If any Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness issued or incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied within five Business Days after such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(f).

55

(b) If on any date the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from (i) any Asset Sale or (ii) any Recovery Event that, in the case of this clause (ii), yields net proceeds to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any settlement or payment in excess of $10,000,000, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such receipt toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(f); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(f).

(c) If for any fiscal year of the Parent Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Parent Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(f) an amount equal to (i) the Excess Cash Flow Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of Term Loans made during such fiscal year pursuant to Section 2.11 to the extent not funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness and (B) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans made during such fiscal year pursuant to Section 2.11 to the extent (x) not funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness and (y) accompanying corresponding permanent reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Parent Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are delivered.

(d) To the extent that at any time (by virtue of changes in the Exchange Rate or otherwise) (i) the Total USD Revolving Extensions of Credit under the USD Revolving Credit Facility or the Total Multicurrency Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility (including the Dollar Equivalent of any such Revolving Extensions of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency) shall exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility then in effect or (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans to Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers (including the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency to Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) shall exceed $100,000,000, then, in each case, the Borrowers shall, within four Business Days, repay the Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility or Swingline Loans to eliminate such excess.

(e) With respect to each borrowing as to which a certificate is required to have been delivered under Section 5.2(c), if and to the extent the applicable Borrower has not applied the proceeds of such borrowing for the purpose that has been specified in such certificate by the fifth Business Day following the date such borrowing is made, then on the next Business Day the applicable Borrower shall prepay such borrowing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (i) such unused proceeds and (ii) the amount necessary to cause the aggregate amount of Available Cash to be less than or equal to $75,000,000 at the end of such Business Day.

(f) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to remaining installments of the Term Loans as directed by the Parent Borrower. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

56

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event received by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary that is required to be applied to prepay Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 (i) would be prohibited or delayed by any applicable local law (including, without limitation, as a result of laws or regulations relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intragroup and fiduciary and statutory duties of directors of such Foreign Subsidiary) from being repatriated or passed on to or used for the benefit of the Parent Borrower or any applicable Domestic Subsidiary (provided that the Parent Borrower shall take commercially reasonable actions available under local law to permit such repatriation) or (ii) repatriation of such amount to the Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary would result in material adverse tax consequences as determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower (including, without limitation, as a result of any withholding of cash or the upstreaming of cash) with respect to such amount, then in each case, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to apply the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected to prepay the Term Loans at the times provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.12 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as clause (i) or (ii) above is applicable, and once clause (i) or (ii) above is no longer applicable, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reasonably estimated to be payable as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans to the extent required pursuant to this Section 2.12; provided that no such prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be required in the case of any such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow the repatriation of which the Parent Borrower believes in good faith would result in material adverse tax consequences, if on or before the date on which such Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), the Parent Borrower applies an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Parent Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary). For the avoidance of doubt, the non-application of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event received by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, to the extent permitted by this Section 2.12(d), to the prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) of this Section 2.12 will not constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Indebtedness is outstanding under the Filtration Bridge Facility, any prepayments required by Section 2.12(a) or (b) shall be applied first to Indebtedness under the Filtration Bridge Facility until such Indebtedness is paid in full prior to any such prepayment being applied to the Term Loans, in each case to the extent such prepayment is required to be applied to Indebtedness outstanding under the Filtration Bridge Facility pursuant to the terms of the definitive documentation in respect thereof.

SECTION 2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Parent Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Parent Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan (i)

57

when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility; provided, further, that if the Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

SECTION 2.14 Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurocurrency Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 15 Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

SECTION 2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate determined applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 plus 2% or (y) (1) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations in Dollars, the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans plus 2%, or (2) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for such Optional Currency plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any facility fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (in the case of overdue amounts in Dollars) or the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Optional Currency plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% (in the case of an overdue amount in an Optional Currency), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

58

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

SECTION 2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to (i) ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate and (ii) Loans denominated in Sterling, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Statutory Reserves shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Parent Borrower, deliver to the Parent Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a) and the calculation of any Statutory Reserves.

SECTION 2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) IfSubject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.17, if prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan in Dollars or any Optional Currency:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Eurocurrency Loan in such currency for such Interest Period (including because the applicable Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis); provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time, or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of a Facility that the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, determined or to be determined with respect to such Eurocurrency Loan under such Facility in such currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans during such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (which may be by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (w) any Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars under such Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and any Eurocurrency Loans in an Optional Currency so requested shall be made as a Loan bearing interest at an interest rate reasonably determined by, and until the Administrative Agent, after consultation with notifies the Parent Borrower and the applicable Lenders, to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Loan in such currency for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin, (x) any Loans in Dollars under such Facility that were to have been converted on the

59

first day of such Interest Period toLenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request to convert any Loans to, or continue any Loans as, Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans, (y) any outstandingineffective, (B) if any borrowing request requests a Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars under such Facility shall be converted, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (C) if any borrowing request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Optional Currency, then such request shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect Borrowings in only certain currencies, then Borrowings in unaffected currencies that are Agreed Currencies shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Parent Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.17(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, then (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans in an Optional Currency shall continue to bear interest at the rate most recently in effect with respect to Loans made in such currency. The Administrative Agent shall withdraw such notice as soon as adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Loans to Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility. applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute as, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Optional Currency, such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Parent Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Parent Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Agreed Currency) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Parent Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, Local Time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of such subclause (B), upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist, such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such original Agreed Currency (in an amount equal to the Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Agreed Currency) on the day of such notice being given to the Parent Borrower by the Administrative Agent.

(a) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of a Screen Rate for any currency has made a public statement that the administrator of such Screen Rate for the applicable currency is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of such Screen Rate for the applicable currency), (x) the administrator of such Screen Rate for the applicable currency has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such Screen Rate for the applicable currency will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of such Screen Rate for the applicable currency), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of such Screen Rate for the applicable currency has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such Screen Rate for the applicable currency will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of such Screen Rate for the applicable currency or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such Screen Rate for the applicable currency may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Parent

60

Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate in respect of the affected currency that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in such currency in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest, as so determined, would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1, (A) if the affected currency is Dollars, any amendment pursuant to the above shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment and (B) if the affected currency is any currency other than Dollars, such alternate rate of interest shall not be effective until consented to by the Majority Facility Lenders of any affected Facility. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii)(w), clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 2.17(b), only to the extent the LIBOR Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any notice of continuation or conversion requests the conversion of any Borrowing of Loans to, or continuation of any Borrowing of Loans as, a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans shall be ineffective, (y) (1) if any notice of borrowing requests a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an Borrowing of ABR Loans and (2) if any notice of borrowing requests a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a currency that is not Dollars, such Borrowing shall be not be made and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans in an Optional Currency shall continue to bear interest at the rate most recently in effect with respect to Loans made in such currency.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.17), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth 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 Loan 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 Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each affected Facility.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, solely with respect to a Dollar Loan, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

61

(c) In connection with the implementation 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 Loan 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 or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.17, 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 or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or Eurocurrency Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Parent Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Parent Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans or (y) any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Optional Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the

62

commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, then (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency (other than Dollars), then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Parent Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the applicable Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Agreed Currency) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the applicable Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, Local Time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of such subclause (B), upon any subsequent implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Agreed Currency pursuant to this Section 2.17, such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such original Agreed Currency (in an amount equal to the Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Agreed Currency) on the day of such implementation, giving effect to such Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Agreed Currency.

SECTION 2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrowers on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Tranche A Term Loan Percentages, Delayed Draw Term Loan Percentages, Incremental Term Loan Percentages, USD Revolving Credit Percentages or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Parent Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Loan Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche A Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loans under any Revolving Credit Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans under such Revolving Credit Facility then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders under such Revolving Credit Facility.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, Local Time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the applicable Funding Office, in Dollars (or, in the case of any payment of principal or interest on any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the applicable Optional Currency) and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the

63

maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the respective Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.18(e) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the applicable Borrower, and, if so recovered, such amount shall no longer be deemed outstanding hereunder.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the respective Borrower.

(g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(b), 2.7(c), 2.18(e), 2.18(f), 2.20(g), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

64

(i) shall subject any Lender to any taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes in respect of payments under any Loan Document, (B) Other Taxes and (C) taxes in respect of payments under any Loan Document for which a Loan Party is not responsible for the payment of additional amounts under Section 2.20(a)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans (or in the case of (i), any Loans) or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay (or shall cause the relevant Borrower to pay) such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided that in the event of the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority described in this Section 2.19(a)(i), the Parent Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled (and any related calculations).

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations to lend hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Parent Borrower shall pay (or shall cause the relevant Borrower to pay) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction provided that the respective Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

65

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Requirements of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to seek compensation for costs imposed pursuant to matters set forth in this clause (c) unless it is generally seeking compensation for such costs from similarly situated borrowers under yield protection provisions in credit agreements with such borrowers that provide for such compensation.

(d) If payment in respect of any Multicurrency Revolving Extension of Credit shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Closing Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Obligations in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or such Optional Currency is no longer available or readily convertible to Dollars, or the Dollar Equivalent of such Optional Currency is no longer readily calculable, then, at the election of any affected Lender, the applicable Borrower shall make payment of such Multicurrency Revolving Extension of Credit in Dollars (based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such payment occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any currency exchange losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

(e) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted by any Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall contain reasonable supporting calculations and an explanation in connection therewith and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, except to the extent provided for in Section 2.19(b).

SECTION 2.20 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender (x) as a result of such Administrative Agent or such Lender being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office located (or, in the case of a Lender, its applicable lending office located) in the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (y) as a result of any present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (ii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan, Letter of Credit or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan, Letter of Credit or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Parent Borrower under Section 2.24), or (y) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.20, amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender acquired the applicable interest

66

in a Loan, Letter of Credit or Commitment or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) taxes attributable to such Administrative Agent or Lender’s failure to comply with Section 2.20(d), and (iv) withholding taxes imposed under FATCA; provided that, if any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (x) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20), the amounts received with respect to this Agreement equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, the Parent Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of Other Taxes.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Parent Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Parent Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Parent Borrower showing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If (i) the Parent Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) the Parent Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or (iii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section), the Parent Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within 10 days of demand therefor, for such amounts and any additions to tax, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, in the case of (i) and (ii), or any such direct imposition, in the case of (iii). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested, but in any case not less than two copies: (i) in the case of a Lender that is a beneficial owner, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, as applicable, (together with any applicable underlying documentation), on which such Non-U.S. Lender shall claim any exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax for which such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible; (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and the applicable IRS Form W-8,

67

or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender; or (iii) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. In addition any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled, deliver to Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent any other form prescribed by the applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Parent Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.20, a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.20 that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally prohibited from delivering.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Parent Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

68

(g) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender (but, in the case of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Parent Borrower is responsible pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.20, only to the extent that the Parent Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Parent Borrower to do so) and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all additions to tax, interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith; (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes other than Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.21 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense (in each case as reasonably determined by such Lender) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (except as a result of a notice by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17), (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (d) the assignment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.24. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such indemnification shall include the costs and expenses of each Lender that are attributable to the premature unwinding of any hedging agreement entered into by such Lender in respect of the foreign currency exposure attributable to such actual or proposed Eurocurrency Loan. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.21 submitted to the relevant Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

69

SECTION 2.22 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) each of such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as a Eurocurrency Loan, if any, shall (i) if denominated in Dollars, be converted automatically to an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such Loan or within such earlier period as required by law and (ii) if denominated in an Optional Currency, be repaid by the relevant Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loan or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or repayment of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the relevant Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Revolving Credit Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any extension of credit to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, then, upon written notice by such Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender providing such notice, an “Impacted Lender”) to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent:

(i) the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder to make extensions of credit to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall forthwith be (x) suspended until each Impacted Lender notifies the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing that it is no longer unlawful for such Revolving Credit Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or (y) to the extent required by law, cancelled;

(ii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain or charge interest with respect to any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall repay (or at its option and to the extent permitted by law, assign to the Parent Borrower) (x) all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding as ABR Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower within three Business Days or such earlier period as required by law and (y) all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans or within such earlier period as required by law; and

(iii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain, charge interest or hold any participation with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the L/C Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit within three Business Days or within such earlier period as required by law.

SECTION 2.23 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.23 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a).

70

SECTION 2.24 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Parent Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and pay all other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the relevant Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the relevant Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the relevant Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.

SECTION 2.25 Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) The Parent Borrower may at any time, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), add as a party to this Agreement any Foreign Subsidiary to be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 5.3, such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders at least five Business Days prior to granting such consent and, if any Revolving Credit Lender notifies the Administrative Agent within five Business Days that it is not permitted by applicable Requirements of Law or any of its organizational policies to make Revolving Credit Loans to, or participate in Letters of Credit for the account of, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary, shall withhold such consent or shall give such consent only upon effecting changes to the provisions of this Article II as are contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section 2.25 that will assure that such Revolving Credit Lender is not required to make Revolving Credit Loans to, or participate in Letters of Credit for the account of, such Foreign Subsidiary.

(b) So long as the principal of and interest on any Loans made to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Parent Borrower may, by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Foreign Subsidiary Borrower”.

71

(c) In order to accommodate (i) the addition of a Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or (ii) extensions of credit to a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, in each case, where one or more Revolving Credit Lenders are able and willing to lend Revolving Credit Loans to, and participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of, such Foreign Subsidiary, but other Revolving Credit Lenders are not so able and willing, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted, with the consent of the Parent Borrower, to effect such changes to the provisions of this Article II as it reasonably believes are appropriate in order for such provisions to operate in a customary and usual manner for “multiple-currency” syndicated lending agreements to a corporation and certain of its foreign subsidiaries, all with the intention of providing procedures for the Revolving Credit Lenders who are so able and willing to extend credit to such Foreign Subsidiaries and for the other Revolving Credit Lenders not to be required to do so. Prior to effecting any such changes, the Administrative Agent shall give all Revolving Credit Lenders at least five Business Days’ notice thereof and an opportunity to comment thereon.

SECTION 2.26 Parent Borrower as Agent for Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the Parent Borrower that it has resigned such position. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Parent Borrower to (i) provide all notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) take such action as the Parent Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Revolving Credit Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby severally agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s relying on any instructions of the Parent Borrower on behalf of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, except that such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower will have no liability under this subsection 2.26(b) with respect to any liability that is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.27 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(a) and the unfunded portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(b);

(b) the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) if any Swingline Loans are outstanding or L/C Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

72

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective USD Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ USD Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ USD Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the relevant Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such excess Swingline Exposure of the Defaulting Lender not reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article VIII for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ USD Revolving Credit Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the USD Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.27(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.27(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the Closing Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Parent Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

73

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s USD Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its USD Revolving Credit Percentage.

SECTION 2.28 Incremental Facilities. (a) The Parent Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Incremental Term Loans (an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”) or the USD Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments (“Increased Revolving Credit Commitments”; together with any Incremental Term Loan Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”), as applicable, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Increased Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such increase, (ii) the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date, (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (x) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date, (y) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans, and (z) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Facility and the incurrence of any Loans thereunder on the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date, (ii) the maturity date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no earlier than (or the same as) the maturity date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, respectively, of the Tranche A Term Loans, (iii) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the lenders thereunder and (iv) any Increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the applicable Revolving Credit Facility (including the maturity date in respect thereof) and any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with, in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility, the Tranche A Term Loan Facility (except to the extent permitted by clause (ii) and (iii) above), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (including as to the identity of the New Lenders); provided that if the total yield (calculated for both the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans, including the upfront fees, any interest rate floors and any OID (as defined below), but excluding any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other similar fees paid by the Parent Borrower) in respect of any Incremental Term Loans exceeds the total yield for the existing Term Loans (it being understood that any such increase may take the form of original issue discount (“OID”), with OID being equated to the interest rates in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) by more than 0.50% per annum, the Applicable Margin for the existing Term Loans shall be increased so that the total yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans is 0.50% per annum greater than the total yield for the existing Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans and Increased Revolving Credit Commitments obtained after the Closing Date pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $10,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

74

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.28(a) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit H, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, on each Increased Facility Closing Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Facility, the Parent Borrower shall borrow Revolving Credit Loans under the relevant increased Revolving Credit Commitments from each Lender participating in the relevant increase in an amount determined by reference to the amount of each Type of Revolving Credit Loan (and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, of each Eurocurrency Tranche) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or Eurocurrency Tranche had been borrowed or effected on such Increased Facility Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of each such Type or Eurocurrency Tranche requested to be so borrowed or effected had been proportionately increased. The Eurocurrency Rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Loan borrowed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall equal the Eurocurrency Rate then applicable to the Eurocurrency Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders in the same Eurocurrency Tranche (or, until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period, such other rate as shall be agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the relevant Revolving Credit Lender).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on each Increased Facility Closing Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Parent Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

ARTICLE III. LETTERS OF CREDIT

SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other USD Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of any Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations (including the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations denominated in Optional Currencies) would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of the USD Revolving Credit Facility would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or an Optional Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York.

(c) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

75

SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Parent Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

SECTION 3.3 Commissions, Fees and Other Charges. (a) The relevant Borrower will pay a commission on all undrawn and unpaid Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the USD Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the USD Revolving Credit Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the relevant Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the relevant Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s USD Revolving Credit Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the respective Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s USD Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of any such amount in an Optional Currency, the daily average rate for the settlement of obligations between banks in such currency as determined by the Administrative Agent) during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period

76

and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the USD Revolving Credit Facility (or, in the case of any such amount in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for such Optional Currency plus the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans under the USD Revolving Credit Facility). A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the relevant Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment; provided that if the Issuing Lender does not notify the relevant Borrower as provided for above earlier than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date such draft is paid then such reimbursement payment may be made the Business Day immediately subsequent to the date such draft is paid. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein or as it may otherwise direct in lawful money of the United States or in the relevant Optional Currency, as the case maybe, and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the relevant Borrower under this Article III from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate set forth in Section 2.15(c); provided that if the Issuing Lender does not notify the relevant Borrower as provided for above earlier than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date such draft is paid, then for such day (and until the next Business Day) all amounts remaining unpaid in respect of such notice shall bear interest the rate set forth in Section 2.15(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the relevant Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of ABR Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among such Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of such Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing

77

Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to such Borrower.

SECTION 3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the relevant Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

SECTION 3.9 Transitional Provisions. On the Closing Date, the certain letters of credit outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date (the “Existing Facility Letters of Credit”), (i) shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to and in compliance with this Article III, (ii) the face amount of such Existing Facility Letters of Credit (including the Dollar Equivalent of the Existing Facility Letters of Credit denominated in Optional Currencies) shall be included in the calculation of the available L/C Commitment and the USD Revolving Extensions of Credit, (iii) the provisions of this Article III shall apply thereto, and the Parent Borrower and the USD Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder hereby expressly assume all obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit and (iv) all liabilities of the Parent Borrower with respect to such Existing Facility Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations.

SECTION 3.10 Cash Collateralization. If on any date the L/C Obligations (including the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations denominated in Optional Currencies) shall exceed the L/C Commitment, then the Borrowers shall within three Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

SECTION 3.11 Currency Adjustments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any fee in respect of any Letter of Credit in respect of any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency into the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article III, prior to demanding any reimbursement from the L/C Participants pursuant to Section 3.4 in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency, the Issuing Lender shall convert the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender in such currency into an obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars, and the obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be Dollar obligations for all purposes thereafter. The Dollar amount of the reimbursement obligation of the Borrowers and the L/C Participants shall be computed by the Issuing Lender based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such conversion occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.

78

ARTICLE IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Parent Borrower (and with respect to Section 4.22 only, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4 and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

SECTION 4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any material respect and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law (excluding compliance in the ordinary course of business with the laws and regulations enforced by the United States Food and Drug Administration and any compliance with comparable health and safety requirements) or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

80

SECTION 4.6 No Material Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened by or against the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.7 No Default.

Each of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and sufficient title to enjoy the benefits of, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other Property, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

SECTION 4.9 Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, (a) the Parent Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use or otherwise possess a legally enforceable right to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted; (b) no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any material constituent of the Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any material constituent of the Intellectual Property, nor does the Parent Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim; and (c) to the Parent Borrower’s knowledge, the use of Intellectual Property by the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the valid rights of any Person in any material respect.

SECTION 4.10 Taxes. Each of the Parent Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all U.S. federal, state and other material tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any such taxes, fees or other charges, the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate procedures and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, no material claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

SECTION 4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect without prior written notice to the Administrative Agent or for any purpose which violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

SECTION 4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable

81

Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Parent Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.13 ERISA. During the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, neither a Reportable Event with respect to a Single Employer Plan nor a failure by any Single Employer Plan to satisfy the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Single Employer Plan has occurred, whether or not waived, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount (determined in both cases using the assumptions applicable thereto promulgated under Section 430 of the Code). Neither the Parent Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Parent Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Parent Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent.

SECTION 4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

SECTION 4.15 Subsidiaries. (a) Schedule 4.15 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party.

SECTION 4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans borrowed on the Closing Date shall be used to replace the “Term Loans” outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loans borrowed on the Filtration Acquisition Closing Date shall be used to finance in part the Transactions. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used to finance in part the Transactions and for the general corporate purposes of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including for acquisitions not prohibited by this Agreement and for repurchases of Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower, and to repay revolving loans outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement. The proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans, Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be used for the general corporate purposes of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including for acquisitions not prohibited by this Agreement and for repurchases of Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower.

82

SECTION 4.17 Environmental Matters. Except as individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) The facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances which (i) constitute or constituted a violation of, or (ii) would reasonably be expected to have given rise to a release or a threat of release, as regulated or defined, under any Environmental Law.

(b) The Properties and all operations at the Properties are in material compliance, and have in the last five years been in material compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Business”). Neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has contractually assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws other than in the ordinary course of business.

(c) Neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received or is aware of any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability, judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action or consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does the Parent Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened.

(d) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location which would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law.

(e) There has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the properties previously owned or operated by the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary (the “Former Properties”) during such period of ownership or operation, or arising from or related to the operations of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with the Former Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws.

SECTION 4.18 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Lender Presentation or any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Lender Presentation, as of the Closing Date), in each case, when taken as a whole with all supplements and updates thereto on or prior to such date and all public filings made by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on or prior to such date, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to projections, pro forma financial information, forward-looking statements, estimates and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature. The projections, pro forma financial information, forward-looking statements and

83

estimates contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Parent Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that (a) such projections, pro forma financial information, forward-looking statements and estimates relate to future events, are not to be viewed as fact, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and are not a guarantee of financial performance and (b) no assurance can be given that any particular projections, pro forma financial information, forward-looking statements or estimates will be realized and actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections, pro forma financial information, forward-looking statements and estimates may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Lender Presentation or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents or in the public filings made by the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, to the best knowledge of the Parent Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Closing Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects.

SECTION 4.19 Security Documents. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19 and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

The Parent Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors and officers and, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, their respective employees and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects.

None of (a) the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, any agent of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby is a Sanctioned Person (other than, in the case of this clause (b), a Sanctioned Person within the meaning of clause (b) of the definition thereof (or a Person owned or controlled by a Person that is a Sanctioned Person under clause (b) of the definition thereof) whose status

84

as a Sanctioned Person does not result in a violation of Sanctions by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will use the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country to the extent such activities, business or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a Person organized in any jurisdiction governed by the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom or in a European Union member state in which the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is organized from time to time, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

SECTION 9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and

119

investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

SECTION 9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements which are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent was not an Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.9 Successor Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Parent Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term

120

“Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

SECTION 9.10 Authorization to Release Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien covering any Property of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is the subject of a Disposition which is permitted by this Agreement, which has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or in accordance with Section 10.17.

SECTION 9.11 No Other Duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Arrangers, the Lead Arranger, the syndication agent or the co-documentation agents shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder.

ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

SECTION 10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and any other extensions of credit hereunder.

SECTION 10.5 Payment of Expenses. The Parent Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lead Arranger for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary counsel selected by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lead Arranger (and of such regulatory counsel and local counsel as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate in its good faith discretion) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, such regulatory counsel and local counsel as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate in its good faith discretion) to each group of similarly affected Persons and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Parent Borrower at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary counsel selected by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and of such regulatory counsel and local counsel as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate in its good faith discretion) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, such regulatory counsel and local counsel as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate in its good faith discretion) to each group of similarly affected Persons, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify,

124

and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than for loss of profits) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Parent Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”); provided that the Parent Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any indemnitee with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent such indemnified liabilities arise from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee, (y) a material breach by the relevant indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (z) any dispute solely among indemnitees or any of their respective directors, officers, trustees, employees, advisors, agents or controlling persons (other than in the capacity of an Administrative Agent or any similar role under the Loan Documents and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Parent Borrower or its Affiliates). Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to so waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Article X shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except for any assignment from any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to the Parent Borrower expressly contemplated by Section 2.22(b), no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than (A) a natural person (or any holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), (B) a Defaulting Lender, a subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender or a Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender, (C) a Disqualified Lender or (D) the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

125

(A) the Parent Borrower; provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under clauses (a) or (f) of Article VIII has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Parent Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (x) any Revolving Credit Commitment to an Assignee that is a Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or (y) all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans or $1,000,000 with respect to the Term Loans (in each case, other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clauses (a) or (f) of Article VIII has occurred has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of each of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (with only one such fee payable in connection with the simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds that are administered or managed by the same entity or affiliated entities); and

126

(D) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Parent Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means: any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 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 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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 paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 each Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

127

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, but to no greater extent than such Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, but to no greater extent than such Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters 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”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit 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, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

SECTION 10.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

(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 Loan 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

135

to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan 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.

(b) As used in this Section 10.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“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.

“QFC” has the meaning given to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 5390(c)(8)(D).
