(ii) If on any Computation Date, solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates:

(x)

the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations exceeds one hundred five percent (105%) of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, the Borrowers for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders shall within two Business Days after receiving notice from the Administrative Agent prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations is less than or equal to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that each Alternate Currency Borrower shall prepay on a pro-rata basis based on the amount of each Alternate Currency Borrower’s Revolving Credit Obligations; or

(y)

the Dollar Amount of all outstanding Alternate Currency Loans under the Alternate Currency Addenda exceeds one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate Alternate Currency Commitments with respect thereto, the Company shall within two Business Days after receiving notice from the Administrative Agent prepay, or cause to be prepaid, Alternate Currency Loans in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Dollar Amount of all such Alternate Currency Loans is less than or equal to the aggregate Alternate Currency Commitments with respect thereto and less than or equal to the Alternate Currency Sublimit; provided that each Alternate Currency Borrower shall prepay on a pro-rata basis based on the amount of each Alternate Currency Borrower’s Alternate Currency Loans; or

For purposes of this clause (ii), the Dollar Amount of each Advance shall be determined by the Administrative Agent as of the most recent Computation Date with respect thereto.

(iii) Prior to the occurrence of a Default, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall hold all mandatory prepayments in escrow for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and shall release such amounts upon the expiration of the Interest Periods applicable to any Revolving Loans being prepaid (it being understood that interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations until such time as such prepayments are released from escrow and applied to reduce the Obligations). After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders, all of the mandatory prepayments made hereunder shall be applied first to Revolving Loans that are Floating Rate Loans and Alternate Currency Loans bearing a fluctuating Alternate Currency Rate and to any Fixed-Rate Loans maturing on such date and then to subsequently maturing Revolving Loans that are Fixed-Rate Loans in order of maturity.

2.5. Reduction of Commitments. The Company (on behalf of itself and the Subsidiary Borrowers) may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Revolving Lenders, in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, unless the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced in whole, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations. All accrued facility fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans hereunder. In addition, each Alternate Currency Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Alternate Currency Bank, terminate entirely at any time or reduce from time to time, by an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or as otherwise set forth on the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), the unused portions of the applicable Alternate Currency Commitment as specified by the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower in such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Alternate Currency Bank; provided, however, that at no time shall the Alternate Currency Commitments be reduced to a figure less than the total of the outstanding principal amount of all Alternate Currency Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of any Revolving Credit Commitments, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed; provided, that such rescission shall not limit the indemnification requirements of Section 4.4.

2.6. Method of Borrowing. Not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date, each Revolving Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan in immediately available funds in the Agreed Currency to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV, unless the Administrative Agent has notified the Revolving Lenders that, with respect to Revolving Loans, such Revolving Loan is to be made available to the applicable Syndicated Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office, in which case each Revolving Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its Eurocurrency Payment Office, not later than 12:00 noon (local time in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office) in the Agreed Currency designated by the Administrative Agent. Not later than 4:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Closing Date, each Term Loan Lender shall make available its Term Loan in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV. The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the applicable Syndicated Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid applicable address.

2.7. Method of Selecting Types, Currency and Interest Periods for Advances. The Company (on behalf of itself or any applicable Subsidiary Borrower) and the Alternate Currency Borrowers, as applicable, shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Alternate Currency Loan and Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Interest Period, Agreed Currency and Alternate Currency applicable to each Advance from time to time (with Term Loans only being available in Dollars). The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Borrowing/Election Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (a) on or before the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, and (b) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Rate Advance to be made in Dollars, and (c) four (4) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Rate Advance to be made in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars and (d) four (4) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Alternate Currency Loan (or such other period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower shall give the applicable Alternate Currency Bank irrevocable notice by 10:00 a.m. (local time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Alternate Currency Loan (or such other period as may be specified in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), specifying: (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) of such Advance; (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance; (iii) the Type of Advance selected; and (iv) in the case of each Eurocurrency Rate Advance and Alternate Currency Loan, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency applicable thereto (with Term Loans only being available in Dollars). The applicable Borrower shall select Interest Periods so that, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, it will not be necessary to prepay all or any portion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Alternate Currency Loan prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period in order to make mandatory prepayments as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Each Floating Rate Advance, each Alternate Currency Loan bearing a fluctuating Alternate Currency Rate and all Obligations other than Loans shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance, in the case of Loans, and the date such Obligation is due and owing in the case of such other Obligations, to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the Floating Rate or Alternate Currency Rate, as applicable, changing when and as such Floating Rate or Alternate Currency Rate, as applicable, changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Changes in the rate of interest on any portion of any Alternate Currency Loan bearing a fluctuating Alternate Currency Rate will take effect simultaneously with each change in such Alternate Currency Rate. Each Fixed-Rate Loan shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Alternate Currency Loan, as applicable.

2.8. Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans or a Reimbursement Obligation) shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or the approximate Equivalent Amount of any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or any Alternate Currency) and in multiples of $500,000 (or the approximate Equivalent Amount of any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or any Alternate Currency) if in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be specified in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

2.9. Method of Selecting Types, Currency and Interest Periods for Conversion and Continuation of Advances.

(A) Right to Convert. The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 and this Section 2.9, to convert all or any part of a Loan of any Type into any other Type or Types of Loan; provided that any conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance and any Alternate Currency Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(B) Automatic Conversion and Continuation. Floating Rate Loans shall continue as Floating Rate Loans unless and until such Floating Rate Loans are converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars shall continue as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month unless the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent notice in accordance with Section 2.9(D) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Rate Loans continue as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with a longer Interest Period. Unless a Borrowing/Election Notice shall have timely been given in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9, Eurocurrency Rate Advances in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars and Alternate Currency Loans shall automatically continue as Eurocurrency Rate Advances in the same Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency Loans in the same Alternate Currency, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(C) No Conversion Post-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9(A) or Section 2.9(B), no Loan may be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or an Alternate Currency Loan (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default under Sections 8.1(A), (F) or (G), any Default under Section 8.1(B)(i) arising out of a failure to deliver the deliver the financial statements required by Section 7.1(A)(i) or (ii) for two or more consecutive fiscal quarters or, at the election of Required Lenders, any Default under Section 8.1(B)(ii) arising out of a failure to comply with Section 7.4.

(D) Borrowing/Election Notice. The Company (on behalf of itself or any Subsidiary Borrower) shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Borrowing/Election Notice of each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (x) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, with respect to any Loan to be converted or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in Dollars, (y) four (4) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation with respect to any Loan to be converted or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, and (z) four (4) Business Days before the date of the requested conversion or continuation Borrowing Date with respect to the conversion or continuation of any Alternate Currency Loan (or such other period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower shall give the applicable Alternate Currency Bank irrevocable notice by 10:00 a.m. (local time) two (2) Business Days prior to the conversion or continuation of such Alternate Currency Loan (or such other period as may specified in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), specifying: (i) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (ii) the amount and Type of the Loan to be converted or continued; and (iii) the amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loan(s) or Alternate Currency Loan(s), as applicable, into which such Loan is to be converted or continued, the Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(E) Limitations on Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the election of the applicable Borrowers under this Section 2.9, (x) Eurocurrency Rate Advances in an Agreed Currency may be converted and/or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Advances only in the same Agreed Currency, and (y) Alternate Currency Loans in an Alternate Currency may be converted and/or continued as Alternate Currency Loans only in the same Alternate Currency.

2.10. Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default under Sections 8.1(A) (other than a failure to pay any amount in respect of the Dutch Parallel Debt), (F) or (G), or, at the election of the Required Lenders, any Default under Section 8.1(B)(i) arising out of a failure to deliver the deliver the financial statements required by Section 7.1(A)(i) or (ii) for two or more consecutive fiscal quarters or any Default under Section 8.1(B)(ii) arising out of a failure to comply with Section 7.4, (a) the interest rate(s) applicable to the Loans shall be equal to the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided herein plus two percent (2.0%) per annum, (b) the interest rate(s) applicable to the Obligations (other than the Loans) shall be equal to the Floating Rate hereunder plus two percent (2.0%) per annum and (c) the fee described in Section 3.9(A) shall be equal to the then Applicable L/C Fee Percentage plus two percent (2.0%) per annum.

2.11. Method of Payment. (a) All payments of principal, interest, fees, commissions and L/C Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (unless indicated otherwise in Section 2.14(E)), in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent (i) at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV with respect to Advances or other Obligations denominated in Dollars and (ii) at the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office with respect to any Advance or other Obligations denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Company, by 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) (unless such payment of principal, interest, fees, commissions or L/C Obligations is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in which case 2:00 p.m. London time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably among the Revolving Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders, as applicable (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with the terms hereof). Each Advance shall be repaid or prepaid in the Agreed Currency in which it was made in the amount borrowed and interest payable thereon shall also be paid in such currency. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV at its Eurocurrency Payment Office or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.11 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to each Issuing Bank, in the case of payments required to be made by the Company to any Issuing Bank pursuant to Article III.

(b) All payments to be made by the applicable Borrowers hereunder in respect of any Alternate Currency Loans shall be made in the currencies in which such Loans are denominated and in funds immediately available, at the office or branch from which the Loan was made pursuant to Section 2.20 and the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum not later than 3:00 p.m. (local time) on the date on which such payment shall become due. Promptly upon receipt of any payment of principal of the Alternate Currency Loans the applicable Alternate Currency Bank shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by telex or telecopy of the receipt of such payment.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, with the result that different types of such Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, (the “New Currency”) are introduced and the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or any Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders or Alternate Currency Bank, as applicable, in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in such currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent or Alternate Currency Bank, as applicable, in such amount and such type of the New Currency or Dollars as shall be equivalent to the amount of such payment otherwise due hereunder in the Original Currency, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, any applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders or the applicable Alternate Currency Bank in the type of currency in which such Advance was made because of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulation, then such Advance shall instead be repaid when due in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such Advance.

2.12. Evidence of Debt.

(A) Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(B) Register. The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.3(D) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto pursuant to Section 13.3, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest.

(C) Entries in Loan Account and Register. The entries made in the Loan Account, the Register and the other accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (A) or (B) of this Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, unless the applicable Borrower objects to information contained in the Loan Accounts, the Register or the other accounts within thirty (30) days of the applicable Borrower’s receipt of such information; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(D) Notes Upon Request. Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it each be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the forms of Exhibit I-1 or Exhibit I-2 to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such a promissory note for such Loans payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (A) and (B) above.

2.13. Telephonic Notices. The Borrowers authorize the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the applicable Borrower. The Borrowers agree to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. In case of disagreement concerning such notices, if the Administrative Agent has recorded telephonic borrowing notices, such recordings will be made available to the applicable Borrower upon any Borrower’s request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, all requests or actions in respect of non-Dollar Advances shall be made in writing and shall not be made telephonically.

2.14. Promise to Pay; Interest and Facility Fees; Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis; Taxes.

(A) Promise to Pay. Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.4 hereof, each of the Borrowers unconditionally promises to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan incurred by it and all other Obligations incurred by it, and to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(B) Interest Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. Interest accrued on each other Floating Rate Loan and each Alternate Currency Loan bearing a fluctuating Alternate Currency Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, upon any prepayment whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest accrued on each Fixed-Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such Fixed-Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed-Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, commencing on the first such Payment Date following the incurrence of such Obligation, (ii) upon repayment thereof in full or in part, and (iii) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(i) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Loan Pro Rata Shares, from and after the date of this Agreement until the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be terminated in whole, a facility fee accruing at the rate of the then Applicable Facility Fee Percentage, on the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in effect on the date of such payment. All such facility fees payable under this clause (C)(i) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date occurring after the date of this Agreement (with the first such payment being calculated for the period from the date of this Agreement and ending on June 29, 2012), and, in addition, on the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be terminated in whole.

(ii) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Arranger the fees set forth in the letter agreement among JPMorgan Chase, individually, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities and the Company dated February 24, 2012, payable at the times and in the amounts set forth therein.

(D) Interest and Fee Basis; Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, Applicable Alternate Currency Margin, Applicable L/C Fee Percentage and Applicable Facility Fee Percentage.

(i) Interest on all Eurocurrency Rate Loans, all Alternate Currency Loans (except as provided otherwise in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), all Floating Rate Loans where the basis for calculation is the Federal Funds Effective Rate and on all fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on all Floating Rate Loans for which the basis for calculation is the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-, or when appropriate 366-, day year. Interest on Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m. (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any payment of any other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment.

(ii) The Applicable Floating Rate Margin, the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, Applicable Alternate Currency Margin, Applicable L/C Fee Percentage and Applicable Facility Fee Percentage shall be determined on the basis of the then applicable Leverage Ratio as described in this Section 2.14(D)(ii), from time to time by reference to the following table:

Applicable Margin	Level I Status (Less than 1.00 to 1.00)	Level II Status (Greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 and less than 1.50 to 1.00)	Level III Status (Greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00 and less than to 2.00 to 1.00)	Level IV Status (Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 and less than 2.50 to 1.00)	Level V Status (Greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 and less than 3.00 to 1.00)	Level VI Status (Greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00)
Applicable Floating Rate Margin for Revolving Loans	0.0%	0.175%	0.375%	0.575%	0.775%	0.975%
Eurocurrency Margin for Revolving Loans, Alternate Currency Margin for Revolving Loans and L/C Fee Percentage	0.95%	1.175%	1.375%	1.575%	1.775%	1.975%
Applicable Floating Rate Margin for Term Loans	0.125%	0.375%	0.625%	0.875%	1.125%	1.375%
Eurocurrency Margin for Term Loans	1.125%	1.375%	1.625%	1.875%	2.125%	2.375%
Facility Fee Percentage	0.175%	0.20%	0.25%	0.30%	0.35%	0.40%

For purposes of this Section 2.14(D)(ii), the Leverage Ratio shall be calculated as provided in Section 7.4(A). Upon receipt of the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1(A)(i) and (ii), as applicable, the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, Applicable Alternate Currency Margin, the Applicable L/C Fee Percentage and Applicable Facility Fee Percentage shall be adjusted, such adjustment being effective five (5) Business Days following the date such financial statements and the compliance certificate are required to be delivered in connection therewith pursuant to Section 7.1(A)(iii); provided, that if the Company shall not have timely delivered its financial statements in accordance with Section 7.1(A)(i) or (ii), as applicable, and such failure continues for five (5) days after notice from the Administrative Agent to the Company, then, at the discretion of the Required Lenders, commencing on the date upon which such financial statements should have been delivered and continuing until five (5) days after such financial statements are actually delivered, or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default under Sections 8.1(A), (F) or (G), or, at the election of Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default under Section 8.1(B)(ii) arising out of a failure to comply with Section 7.4, it shall be assumed for purposes of determining the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, Applicable Alternate Currency Margin, Applicable L/C Fee Percentage and Applicable Facility Fee Percentage that the Leverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 and Level VI pricing shall be applicable.

(E) Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including pursuant to an Alternate Currency Addendum) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings assessments or fees or any interest, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority including those arising after the date of this Agreement as a result of the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of a Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority but excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (a) such taxes (including income taxes, franchise taxes and branch profit taxes) as are imposed on or measured by such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, net income or similar taxes imposed by the United States of America or any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Installation or that are Other Connection Taxes, (b) in the case of a Lender, Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender hereunder pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (y) such Lender becomes a party hereto or (z) such Lender changes its Lending Installation, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.14(E), amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its Lending Installation, (c) any U.S. federal backup withholding taxes and (d) and any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) and any current or future regulations of official interpretations thereof (“FATCA”) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings assessments or fees, liabilities or any interest, penalties or liabilities with respect thereto which the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines to be applicable to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If a Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14(E)) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If any Tax, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, of the United States of America or any other Governmental Authority shall be or become applicable (y) after the Closing Date, to such payments by the applicable Borrower made to the Lending Installation or any other office that a Lender may claim as its Lending Installation, or (z) after such Lender’s selection and designation of any other Lending Installation, to such payments made to such other Lending Installation, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make, fund and maintain its Loans through another Lending Installation of such Lender in another jurisdiction so as to reduce the applicable Borrower’s liability hereunder, if the making, funding or maintenance of such Loans through such other Lending Installation of such Lender does not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, otherwise adversely and materially affect such Loans, or obligations under the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender.

(ii) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, from the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Term Loan Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(iii) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.14(E)) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that each Alternate Currency Borrower shall only be liable for a maximum amount consisting of its pro-rata share of the aggregate amount indemnified under this Section 2.14(E)(iii), based upon its obligations. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.14(E) submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (if a Lender is so submitting) by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such amount and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. With respect to such deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes and Other Taxes and to confirm that all such Taxes and Other Taxes have been paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, the applicable Borrower shall promptly (and in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt) furnish to each Lender and the Administrative Agent such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be required (in the judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent) to establish any tax credit to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent may be entitled.

(iv) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(v) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.14(E) shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

(vi) Each Lender (including any Replacement Lender or Purchaser) that is not created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a political subdivision thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date of this Agreement, or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only for so long as such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), either (1) two (2) duly completed copies of either (A) IRS Form W-8BEN, (B) IRS Form W-8ECI or (C) IRS Form W-8IMY (together with such additional documentation required to be delivered with Form W-8IMY), or in each case an applicable successor form; or (2) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver the forms listed in clause (vi)(1), (x) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Non-U.S. Lender to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”) and (y) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or applicable successor form. Each such Lender further agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent from time to time a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14(E)(vi). Further, each Lender which delivers a form or certificate pursuant to this clause (vi) covenants and agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of such form, for so long as this Agreement is still in effect, another such certificate and/or two (2) accurate and complete original newly-signed copies of the applicable form (or any successor form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder).

Each Lender shall promptly furnish to the Company and the Administrative Agent such additional documents as may be reasonably required by the Company or the Administrative Agent to establish any exemption from or reduction of any Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld and which may be obtained without undue expense to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14(E), no Borrower shall be obligated to gross up any payments to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i), or to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(iii), in respect of United States federal withholding taxes to the extent imposed as a result of (x) the failure of such Lender to deliver to the Company the form or forms and/or an Exemption Certificate, as applicable to such Lender, pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(vi), (y) such form or forms and/or Exemption Certificate not establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or the information or certifications made therein by the Lender being untrue or inaccurate on the date delivered in any material respect, or (z) the Lender designating a successor Lending Installation at which it maintains its Loans which has the effect of causing such Lender to become obligated for tax payments in excess of those in effect immediately prior to such designation; provided, however, that the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to gross up any payments to any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i), and to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(iii), in respect of United States federal withholding taxes if (i) any such failure to deliver a form or forms or an Exemption Certificate or the failure of such form or forms or exemption certificate to establish a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein resulted from a change in any applicable statute, treaty, regulation or other applicable law or any interpretation of any of the foregoing occurring after the date such Lender became a party hereto, which change rendered such Lender no longer legally entitled to deliver such form or forms or Exemption Certificate or otherwise ineligible for a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, or rendered the information or the certifications made in such form or forms or Exemption Certificate untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (ii) the redesignation of the Lender’s Lending Installation was made at the request of the Company or (iii) the obligation to gross up payments to any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i), or to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(iii), is with respect to a Purchaser that becomes a Purchaser as a result of an assignment made at the request of the Company.

(vii) Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrowers, each Lender to which any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.14(E), shall reasonably afford the applicable Borrower the opportunity to contest, and shall reasonably cooperate with the applicable Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Tax giving rise to such payment; provided, that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford the applicable Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless such Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) the Borrowers shall reimburse such Lender for its attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with such Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to afford any Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with any Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Taxes, if such Lender in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(viii) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14(E), it shall pay over any such refund it receives to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.14(E) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as determined in the sole discretion exercised in good faith of the Administrative Agent or Lender) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to that Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Administrative Agent or such Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(ix) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.2(D) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any amounts excluded from Taxes pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i) that are 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 amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under 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 Section 2.14(E)(ix).

(x) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder 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 Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company 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 Section 2.14(E)(x), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

2.15. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Revolving Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment reduction notice, Facility Increase Notice, Borrowing/Election Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate and Agreed Currency applicable to each Eurocurrency Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate and Agreed Currency and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.16. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans or Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments and/or payments of L/C Obligations are to be made.

2.17. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Borrower, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent), repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.18. Termination Date. This Agreement shall be effective until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until (A) all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully paid and satisfied in cash, (B) all financing arrangements among the Borrowers and the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents shall have been terminated and (C) all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, been canceled, terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.11, all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive.

2.19. Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event a Lender (“Affected Lender”) shall: (i) be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) have requested compensation from a Borrower under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1 or 4.2 to recover Taxes, Other Taxes or other additional costs incurred by such Lender which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders except as provided under any applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, (iii) have delivered a notice pursuant to Section 4.3 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the applicable Borrower for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders or (iv) have invoked Section 10.2, then, in any such case, the Company may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, and such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment Agreements within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 13.3(A) which the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have engaged for such purpose (“Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Revolving Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to participate in additional Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and Alternate Currency Loans hereunder) in accordance with Section 13.3 (it being understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall require any Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at less than par value); provided, that the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall have consented to such assignment (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Administrative Agent agrees, upon the occurrence of such events with respect to an Affected Lender and upon the written request of the Company, to use its reasonable efforts to obtain commitments from one or more financial institutions to act as a Replacement Lender. The Administrative Agent is authorized to execute one or more Assignment Agreements as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender failing to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand. Further, with respect to such assignment the Affected Lender shall have concurrently received, in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon and accrued fees through the date of such assignment, amounts payable under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, and 4.2 with respect to such Affected Lender and compensation payable under Section 2.14(C) in the event of any replacement of any Affected Lender under clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 2.19; provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, and 10.7 and each other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whereby the Company or any of its Subsidiaries agrees to reimburse or indemnify any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Section 11.8 for such amounts, obligations and liabilities as are due and payable up to and including (but not after) the date such Affected Lender is replaced pursuant hereto.

2.20. Alternate Currency Loans.

(A) Making of Alternate Currency Loans. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article V hereof and set forth in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, from and including the later of the Closing Date and the date of execution of the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum and prior to Termination Date (unless an earlier termination date shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), each Alternate Currency Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, to make Alternate Currency Loans under such Alternate Currency Addendum to the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower party to such Alternate Currency Addendum from time to time in the applicable Alternate Currency, in an amount not to exceed each such Alternate Currency Bank’s applicable Alternate Currency Commitment; provided, that, after giving effect to any such Alternate Currency Loan, (i) the Dollar Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Alternate Currency Loans made pursuant to any Alternate Currency Addendum shall not exceed the Alternate Currency Commitment set forth in such Alternate Currency Addendum, (ii) the Dollar Amount of all Alternate Currency Loans shall not exceed the Alternate Currency Sublimit and (iii) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, the applicable Alternate Currency Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Alternate Currency Loans at any time prior to the Termination Date (unless an earlier termination date shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum). On the Termination Date (unless an earlier termination date shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), the outstanding principal balance of the Alternate Currency Loans shall be paid in full by the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower and prior to Termination Date (unless an earlier termination date shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), prepayments of the Alternate Currency Loans shall be made by the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower if and to the extent required in Section 2.4(B)(ii).

(B) Borrowing Notice. When the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower desires to borrow under this Section 2.20, the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Alternate Currency Bank and the Administrative Agent a Borrowing/Election Notice, signed by it, as provided in Section 2.7 specifying that the Alternate Currency Borrower is requesting an Alternate Currency Loan pursuant to this Section 2.20. Any Borrowing/Election Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be irrevocable.

(C) Termination. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in no event shall an Alternate Currency Bank have the right to accelerate the Alternate Currency Loans outstanding under any Alternate Currency Addendum or to terminate its commitments (if any) thereunder to make Alternate Currency Loans prior to the stated termination date in respect thereof, except that such Alternate Currency Bank shall have such rights upon an acceleration of the Loans and a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Article IX.

(D) Statements. Each Alternate Currency Bank shall furnish to the Company and the Administrative Agent not less frequently than monthly, and at any other time at the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, a statement setting forth the outstanding Alternate Currency Loans made and repaid during the period since the last such report under such Alternate Currency Addendum.

(E) Risk Participation. Unless a Revolving Lender shall have notified the Alternate Currency Bank, prior to its making of any Alternate Currency Loan, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, as applicable, had not then been satisfied, immediately upon the making of any Alternate Currency Loan by the applicable Alternate Currency Bank, each Revolving Lender with a Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Alternate Currency Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to such Alternate Currency Loan in an amount equal to the amount of such Alternate Currency Loan multiplied by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share. Each of the Revolving Lenders shall pay to the applicable Alternate Currency Bank not later than two (2) Business Days following a request for payment from such Alternate Currency Bank, in the currency of the applicable Loan, an amount equal to the undivided interest in and participation in the Alternate Currency Loan purchased by such Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(E). In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make payment to the applicable Alternate Currency Bank of any amount due under this Section 2.20(E), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation in accordance with Section 12.2(B) amounts payable to such Revolving Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives from such Lender an amount sufficient to discharge such Revolving Lender’s payment obligation as prescribed in this Section 2.20(E), and such obligation shall accrue interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, if a non-Dollar Loan, the then applicable Eurocurrency Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable currency) for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the applicable Alternate Currency Bank and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied. The Administrative Agent will promptly remit all payments received as provided above to the Alternate Currency Bank.

(F) Other Provisions Applicable to Alternate Currency Loans. The specification of payment of Alternate Currency Loans in the related Alternate Currency at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement is of the essence. Such Alternate Currency shall be the currency of account and payment of such Loans under this Agreement and the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the obligation of the applicable Alternate Currency Borrower in respect of such Loans shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the applicable Alternate Currency and transfer to such Revolving Lender under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement and the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, such Revolving Lender shall have an independent cause of action against each of the Borrowers for the currency deficit.

2.21. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main office in New York, New York on the Business Day preceding that on which the final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 12.2(A), such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

2.22. Market Disruption; Denomination of Amounts in Dollars; Dollar Equivalent of Reimbursement Obligations.

(A) Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in this Article II with respect to any Advance in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or any Alternate Currency, as applicable, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Company, any Alternate Currency Borrower, any Alternate Currency Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Alternate Currency Loans comprising such Advance to be denominated in the Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, specified by the applicable Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to such Borrower, such Alternate Currency Bank and the Lenders, or the applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent, such Alternate Currency Bank and the Lenders, as the case may be, and such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Alternate Currency Loans shall not be denominated in such currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice, as Floating Rate Loans, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Alternate Currency Bank, if applicable, and the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice.

(B) Calculation of Amounts. All amounts referenced in this Article II shall be calculated using the Dollar Amount determined based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect as of the date of any determination thereof; provided, however, that to the extent any Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to pay in Dollars any Advance denominated in a currency other than Dollars, such amount shall be paid in Dollars using the Dollar Amount of the Advance (calculated based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect on the date of payment thereof) and in the event that the Company does not reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders are required to fund a purchase of a participation in such Advance, such purchase shall be made in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Advance (calculated based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect on the date of payment thereof). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the full risk of currency fluctuations shall be borne by the Borrowers and the Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders from and against any loss resulting from any borrowing denominated in a currency other than in Dollars and for which the Lenders are not reimbursed on the day of such borrowing as it relates to each Borrower’s respective Obligations.

(i) each Advance as of the date three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Advance (or, if such Advance is permitted to be a same-day Advance, the date of such Advance) or, if applicable, the date of conversion/continuation of any Advance as a Eurocurrency Rate Advance or Alternate Currency Borrowing; and

(ii) all outstanding Advances on and as of the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, and, during the continuation of an Event of Default, on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or upon instruction by the Required Lenders.

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the preceding clause (i) and (ii) is herein described as a “Computation Date”.

2.23. Additional Alternate Currency Borrowers. The Company may at any time or from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, add as a party to this Agreement any Subsidiary to be an Alternate Currency Borrower hereunder by the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders of (a) a duly completed Assumption Letter by such Subsidiary, with the written consent of the Company at the foot thereof and (b) such other guaranty and subordinated intercompany indebtedness documents as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Lenders, such documents with respect to any additional Subsidiaries to be substantially similar in form and substance to the Loan Documents executed on or about the date of this Agreement by the Subsidiaries parties hereto as of the date of this Agreement. Upon such execution, delivery and consent, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as an Alternate Currency Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. So long as the principal of and interest on any Advances made to any Alternate Currency Borrower under this Agreement shall have been repaid or paid in full, the Company may, by not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as an “Alternate Currency Borrower”.

2.24. Additional Subsidiary Borrowers. The Company may at any time add as a party to this Agreement a Subsidiary to become a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder subject to (a) the consent of the Administrative Agent, (b) the receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Subsidiary would not, in its capacity as a Borrower hereunder, be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder by such Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender unless an exemption from such requirement can be obtained by such Subsidiary (with the reasonable cooperation of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders) and that no other adverse tax, regulatory or other consequences would affect the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lender as a result of such Subsidiary’s status as a Borrower, (c) the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly completed Assumption Letter by such Subsidiary, with the written consent of the Company appearing thereon, (d) unless such Subsidiary is already a Subsidiary Guarantor, the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an executed Supplement to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty in the form of Annex I to Exhibit G-2 (whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” under this Agreement); provided that no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver a supplement to the Subsidiary Guaranty if such execution and delivery would cause a Deemed Dividend Problem or a Financial Assistance Problem with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary and (e) the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders of each other instrument, document and agreement required by Section 5.3. Upon such satisfaction of all such conditions, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Subsidiary Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. So long as the principal of and interest on any Advances made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been repaid or paid in full, the Company may, by not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Subsidiary Borrower”; provided, that such Subsidiary shall remain a Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent necessary to permit the Company to remain in compliance with the Credit Support Requirement as of such date.

2.25. Increase of Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; Incremental Commitments.

(A) At any time, and from time to time, the Company may request (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) (i) that the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment be increased, (ii) new term loan commitments under one or more new term loan tranches to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”), and (iii) to increase the existing Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to any existing tranche of Term Loans (the “Supplemental Term Loan Commitments”, and together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”; the term loans extended under the Incremental Commitments, the “Additional Term Loans”), by an aggregate amount of up to $175,000,000 without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders, provided, that, the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the Additional Term Loans shall at no time exceed $525,000,000 less the amount of any permanent reductions in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.5. Such request shall be made in a written notice given to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Company not less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such other period agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Company) prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (a “Facility Increase Notice”) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Commitments and the proposed effective date of such increase or extension. Any financial institution that shall seek to become a “Lender” party hereto that is not a Lender hereunder prior to an increase or extension as described in this Section 2.25 shall constitute a “Proposed New Lender”. Proposed New Lenders that are requested to extend Incremental Term Loan Commitments or otherwise asked to provide credit pursuant to this Section 2.25 may receive such Facility Increase Notice to evidence the request for their respective Incremental Commitments. Such Proposed New Lenders may receive such notice during the aforementioned notice period. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent if it has delivered Facility Increase Notices to any Proposed New Lenders.

(B) In the event of such a Facility Increase Notice with respect to an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, each of the Revolving Lenders shall be given the opportunity to participate in the requested increase. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment or extend Additional Term Loans pursuant to a Facility Increase Notice. On or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Facility Increase Notice, each Lender (including Proposed New Lenders with Incremental Term Loan Commitments) shall submit to the Administrative Agent a notice indicating the maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment or the maximum principal amount of any Additional Term Loan it is willing to extend in connection with such Facility Increase Notice (any such notice, a “Lender Increase Notice”). Any Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied any increase or extension. In the event that the increases of Revolving Loan Commitments or extensions of Incremental Commitments set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by the Company in the Facility Increase Notice, the Company shall have the right, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities, to allocate the amount of increases or extensions necessary to meet the Company’s Facility Increase Notice. In the event that the Lender Increase Notices are less than the amount requested by the Company (including initial requests delivered to Proposed New Lenders seeking Incremental Term Loan Commitments), not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase or extension, the Company may notify the Administrative Agent of an extension of the proposed effective date of such increase and/or any subsequently approached Proposed New Lender in connection with the Facility Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Company shall not have arranged any Proposed New Lender(s) to commit to any shortfall from the Lender Increase Notices, then the Company shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of its Facility Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the Lender Increase Notices. Based upon the Lender Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Proposed New Lender, if applicable, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Lender’s and Proposed New Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if the applicable Facility Increase Notice contemplates an increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments) (the “Effective Commitment Amount”) and the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, or if Additional Term Loans are being extended, each Lender’s portion (if any) thereof, which amount shall be effective on the following Business Day.

(C) Any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or extension of any Incremental Commitment shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) the Company shall have obtained the consent thereto of any Guarantor and its reaffirmation of any Loan Documents executed by it, which consent and reaffirmation shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) as of the date of the Facility Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or the extension of Incremental Commitments (but, with respect to Additional Term Loans, subject to paragraph (E) below), all representations and warranties set forth in Article VI hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on such date (unless any such representation and warranty is made as of a specific date, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) and, in all cases, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Proposed New Lender that shall have agreed to provide a “Revolving Loan Commitment” in support of such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or that shall have agreed to extend an Incremental Commitment (it being understood and agreed that no individual Lender shall be obligated to so agree), as applicable, shall have executed and delivered a Commitment and Acceptance (“Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto and (iv) the Company, each Alternate Currency Borrower and any Proposed New Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such increase. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or Incremental Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Company and each Lender of the effective date of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment that is provided by a Proposed New Lender or the effective date for any Incremental Commitment extended by such Proposed New Lender shall be a party to this Agreement as a Lender and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder or to extend an Incremental Commitment hereunder at any time.

(D) Upon the execution and delivery of such Commitment and Acceptance delivered in respect of a Revolving Loan Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall reallocate any outstanding Revolving Loans ratably among the Lenders after giving effect to each such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that the Company hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans hereunder on the terms and in the manner as set forth in Article IV.

(E) Any tranche of Additional Term Loans extended in accordance with the terms hereof (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans and previously extended Additional Term Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the Facility Termination Date, (c) shall not have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans and previously extended Additional Term Loans, and (d) subject to the remainder hereof, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans and previously extended Additional Term Loans, provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Additional Term Loans maturing after the Facility Termination Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during period after the Facility Termination Date, (ii) pricing for Additional Term Loans may differ from pricing for any other Term Loans (whether based on interest rate margins, original issue discount, upfront fees, or other similar fees), (iii) if agreed to by the Company and the Lenders extending the applicable Additional Term Loans, the representations, warranties, covenants and events of default to which such Additional Term Loans are subject may be more permissive and less restrictive than the representations, warranties, covenants and events of default set forth in this Agreement or to which any other Additional Term Loans are subject, (iv) no Additional Term Loan or any other extension of credit provided under this Section 2.25 may be secured by any assets that do not secure the other Loans and Obligations unless and until all Loans and Obligations (including such Additional Term Loans and other extensions of credit) are secured by such assets on a pari passu basis (with the understanding that such grant of additional collateral (including the documentation related thereto and the scope of the assets covered thereby) shall be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to giving effect to any such grant), and (v) the Additional Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Company, each increasing Lender participating in such tranche, each existing Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25.

(F) This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.3 or Section 12.2 to the contrary.

2.26. 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 Revolving Loan Commitment (whether used or unused) of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(C);

(B) the Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Credit Obligations and outstanding Term Loans (including, for purposes of this Section 2.26, all Additional Term Loans) of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification pursuant to Section 9.3), provided, that this clause (B) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of (i) any increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender or any requirement to extend additional Term Loans or (ii) any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender affected thereby pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.3;

(C) if any Swing Line Exposure, Alternate Currency Exposure or L/C Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swing Line Exposure, Alternate Currency Exposure and L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Obligations plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure, Alternate Currency Exposure and L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and Alternate Currency Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.11 for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

(iii) if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.8 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;

(iv) if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 3.8 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Pro Rata Shares; or

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all facility fees that would otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.8 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(D) so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan, no Alternate Currency Bank shall be required to fund any Alternate Currency Loan and the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 3.11, and participating interests in any such newly made Swing Line Loan, newly made Alternate Currency Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.26(C)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);

(E) if (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swing Line Bank, an Alternate Currency Bank or an Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Revolving Lender commits to extend credit, the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan, no Alternate Currency Bank shall be required to fund any Alternate Currency Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swing Line Lender, such Alternate Currency Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Revolving Lender, satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender, such Alternate Currency Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Revolving Lender hereunder;

(F) in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Issuing Banks, the Alternate Currency Banks and the Swing Line Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure, Alternate Currency Exposure and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans and Alternate Currency Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share; provided further that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to facility fees and participation fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided still further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the Borrowers and any other affected parties, no termination of a Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any Borrower or other affected party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender; and

(G) nothing in this Section 2.26 shall affect the rights or remedies any Borrower or other affected party hereunder may have against any Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III: THE LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

3.1. Obligation to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company herein set forth, each Issuing Bank hereby agrees to issue for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary through such Issuing Bank’s branches as it and the Company may jointly agree, one or more Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars in accordance with this Article III, from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date.

3.2. Transitional Letters of Credit. Schedule 3.2 contains a schedule of certain letters of credit issued for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, from and after the Closing Date such letters of credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Article III.

3.3. Types and Amounts. No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to and no Issuing Bank shall:

(A) issue (or amend) any Letter of Credit if on the date of issuance (or amendment), before or after giving effect to the Letter of Credit requested hereunder, (i) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations at such time would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, or (ii) the aggregate outstanding Dollar Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed $50,000,000; or

(B) issue (or amend) any Letter of Credit which has an expiration date later than the date which is five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the Termination Date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that occurs no later than the one-year anniversary of the Termination Date so long as such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized in such amount and on such terms as are acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and such cash collateral is provided to the applicable Issuing Bank at least five Business Days prior to the Termination Date.

3.4. Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4, as applicable, the obligation of an Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(A) the Company shall have delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (and, if the Issuing Bank is a Revolving Lender other than JPMorgan Chase, with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at such times and in such manner as such Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe, a request for issuance of such Letter of Credit in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each such request a “Request For Letter of Credit”), duly executed applications for such Letter of Credit, and such other documents, instructions and agreements as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof (all such applications, documents, instructions, and agreements being referred to herein as the “L/C Documents”), and the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank as to form and content;

(B) as of the date of issuance no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the applicable Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to such Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of that Letter of Credit; and

(C) in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any application for a Letter of Credit, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

3.5. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(A) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 hereof have been satisfied, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Company in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices and, in this connection, such Issuing Bank may assume that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 hereof have been satisfied unless it shall have received notice to the contrary from the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender or has knowledge that the applicable conditions have not been met.

(B) The applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written or telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of such Issuing Bank.

(C) No Issuing Bank shall extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 3.5 are met as though a new Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

3.6. Letter of Credit Participation. On the date of this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit identified on Schedule 3.2 and immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Revolving Lender with a Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to such Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Company in respect thereof, and the liability of such Issuing Bank thereunder (collectively, an “L/C Interest”) in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of each payment made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in Section 3.7, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 3.6, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation in accordance with Section 12.2(B) amounts otherwise payable to such Revolving Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Revolving Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied, and such obligation shall accrue interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve such Revolving Lender of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for such amount in accordance with this Section 3.6.

3.7. Reimbursement Obligation. The Company agrees unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders, the amount of each advance drawn under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit (regardless of whether the account party in respect thereof is the Company or a Subsidiary) or an L/C Draft related thereto (such obligation of the Company to reimburse the Administrative Agent for an advance made under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft being hereinafter referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation” with respect to such Letter of Credit or L/C Draft; it being understood and agreed that any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary shall be deemed to be issued for the account of the Company and the Company’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit or L/C Draft shall remain unconditional, irrevocable and absolute), each such reimbursement to be made by the Company no later than the Business Day on which the applicable Issuing Bank makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, if the Company shall have received notice of a Reimbursement Obligation later than 9:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on any Business Day or on a day which is not a Business Day, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), on the immediately following Business Day or, in the case of any other draw on a Letter of Credit, the date specified in the demand of such Issuing Bank; provided, that upon any payment by an Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, the Company shall be deemed to have automatically requested in accordance with Section 2.1 that the Reimbursement Obligation with respect thereto be financed with Revolving Loans equal in amount to the Dollar Amount of such Reimbursement Obligation (and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such reimbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loans); provided, further, that if any Revolving Lender shall fail to make available to the Administrative Agent its required Revolving Loan, the Company shall repay the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then outstanding due to such failure within three (3) Business Days of demand therefor by the Administrative Agent (and, to the extent so repaid, no Default shall have occurred in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation). If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable payment made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any payment made by such Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or a Swing Line Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such payment made by such Issuing Bank pursuant to such Letter of Credit.

3.8. Letter of Credit Fees. The Company agrees to pay:

(A) quarterly, in arrears, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, except as set forth in Section 2.26, a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable L/C Fee Percentage on the average daily outstanding Dollar Amount available for drawing under each Letter of Credit;

(B) quarterly, in arrears, to the applicable Issuing Bank, a letter of credit fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily outstanding face Dollar Amount available for drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; and

(C) to the applicable Issuing Bank, all customary fees and other issuance, amendment, cancellation, document examination, negotiation, transfer and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, cancellation, presentation of L/C Drafts, negotiation, transfer and the like customarily charged by such Issuing Banks with respect to standby and commercial Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, standard commissions with respect to commercial Letters of Credit, payable at the time of invoice of such amounts.

3.9. Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. In addition to the notices required by Section 3.5(B), each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, schedules, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issue, account party and amount, expiration date and the reference number of each Letter of Credit issued by it outstanding at any time during such month and the aggregate amount payable by the Company during such month. In addition, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of any Letter of Credit and any application for or reimbursement agreement with respect to a Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent will provide to such Revolving Lender information concerning such Letters of Credit.

3.10. Indemnification; Exoneration.

(A) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article III, the Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Lender from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of the applicable Issuing Bank, to the extent resulting from its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or from its failure to comply with Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits of the International Chamber of Commerce, or (ii) the failure of the applicable Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

(B) As among the Company, the Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, the Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Company at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Revolving Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith or failure to comply with Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits of the International Chamber of Commerce): (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile, electronic transmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders, including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 3.10.

(C) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, put the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender under any resulting liability to the Company or relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

(D) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Company hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

3.11. Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any application for a Letter of Credit, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or upon payout or termination of this Agreement in full in cash, the Company shall, on the Business Day that it receives Administrative Agent’s demand or as required pursuant to Section 9.1, deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, cash, or other collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Revolving Lenders, having a value, as determined by such Revolving Lenders, equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding L/C Obligations. Any such collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a separate account appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks as collateral security for the Company’s obligations in respect of this Agreement and each of the Letters of Credit. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks for drawings or payments under or pursuant to Letters of Credit, or if no such reimbursement is required, to payment of such of the other Obligations as the Administrative Agent shall determine. If no Default shall be continuing, amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section 3.11 which are not applied to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts actually paid or to be paid by such Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit, shall be returned to the Company within one (1) Business Day (after deduction of the Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in connection with such cash collateral account).

ARTICLE IV: CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law:

(A) subjects the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, withholding assessment or fee on or from payments due from any Borrower (excluding (A) Taxes, (B) amounts excluded from Taxes pursuant to Section 2.14(E)(i)(b) through (d), (C) any Connection Income Taxes, and (D) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(B) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) with respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit, or

(C) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank of making, funding or maintaining its Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, the Loans, the L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank in connection with Loans or Letters of Credit, or requires any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Issuing Bank to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, Loans or the L/C Interests held or interest received by it or by reference to the Letters of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender or Issuing Bank, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or Issuing Bank, of making, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests, or Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount received under this Agreement, then, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the applicable Borrower of written demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.5, the applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Lender or Issuing Bank determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests, Letters of Credit, Term Loan Commitment, and Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that such Lender or Issuing Bank shall only require such payment from the applicable Borrower to the extent such Lender or Issuing Bank is requiring such payments from other borrowers of comparable creditworthiness as the Company.

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank demands, or notifies such Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor, provided further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

4.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Regulations. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount deemed material by such Lender or Issuing Bank the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Loans or Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the applicable Borrower of written demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.5, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided, that such Lender or Issuing Bank shall only require such payment from the applicable Borrower to the extent such Lender or Issuing Bank is requiring such payments from other borrowers of comparable creditworthiness as the Company.

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank demands, or notifies such Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor, provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

4.3. Availability of Types of Advances. If (i) any Lender determines that maintenance of its Fixed-Rate Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine that (x) deposits of a type, currency or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed-Rate Loans are not available or (y) the interest rate applicable to Fixed-Rate Loans does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such an Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and, in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause (i), require any Advances of the affected Type to be repaid or converted into another Type.

4.4. Funding Indemnification. Subject to Sections 2.4(B)(i), (ii), and (iii), if any payment of a Fixed-Rate Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment, or otherwise, or a Fixed-Rate Loan is not made on the date specified by the Borrowers for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Fixed-Rate Loan, within one Business Day after receipt by the Borrowers of the written demand required pursuant to Section 4.5.

4.5. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. If reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed-Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 4.3, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous, in the judgment of the Lender, to such Lender. Any demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.14(E) or this Article IV shall be in writing and shall state the amount due, if any, under Section 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 4.6 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender or Issuing Bank determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed-Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed-Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate or Alternate Currency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 and 4.6 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

4.6. Non-U.S. Reserve Costs or Fees. If any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive of any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or any subdivision thereof (whether or not having the force of law), imposes or deems applicable any reserve requirement against or fee with respect to assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation of making or maintaining its Eurocurrency Rate Loans to any Borrower that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Borrower”) or its Commitment to any Non-U.S. Borrower or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to any Non-U.S. Borrower or Commitment to any Non-U.S. Borrower, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, such Non-U.S. Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

4.7. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2 or 4.6 to recover Taxes, Other Taxes, taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, withholdings, assessments or fees or other additional costs incurred by such Lender, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2 or 4.6, as the case may be, in the future, and (B) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

The Company shall pay, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, all material taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or on any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or property before any penalty or interest accrues thereon; provided, however, that no such taxes, assessments and governmental charges (and interest, penalties or fines relating thereto) need be paid if being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently instituted and conducted and if such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP as in effect from time to time shall have been made therefor.

(G) Maintenance of Property. The Company shall cause all material property used in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in adequate condition, repair and working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.2(G) shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such property if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary.

(H) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the Loans to provide funds for the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, to consummate Permitted Acquisitions and to pay dividends or consummate repurchases of the Company’s Capital Stock that constitute Restricted Payments permitted under Section 7.3(E)). The Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, use any of the proceeds of the Loans to purchase or carry any Margin Stock.

(I) Subsidiary Guarantees. The Company shall, to the extent necessary to remain in compliance with the Credit Support Requirement, (a) cause each new Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, as promptly as possible, but in any event within sixty (60) days after becoming a Subsidiary, an executed Supplement to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty in the form of Annex I to Exhibit G-2 attached hereto (whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” under this Agreement) and (b) deliver and cause each such Subsidiary to deliver such corporate resolutions, opinions of counsel, and such other corporate documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver a supplement to the Subsidiary Guaranty if such execution and delivery would cause a Deemed Dividend Problem or a Financial Assistance Problem with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary and, in lieu thereof, the Company and the relevant Subsidiaries shall comply with Section 7.2(J) below.

(J) Pledge Agreements.

(i) The Company, to the extent necessary to remain in compliance with the Credit Support Requirement, in connection with a Foreign Subsidiary which cannot become a Subsidiary Guarantor due to a Deemed Dividend Problem or a Financial Assistance Problem in respect thereof, shall or shall cause the applicable parent Domestic Subsidiary as promptly as possible (but in any event within sixty (60) days following the creation or acquisition thereof) to (a) execute a Pledge Agreement with respect to 65% of the Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary, and (b) deliver and cause each such parent Domestic Subsidiary and Foreign Subsidiary to deliver such corporate resolutions, opinions of counsel, stock certificates, stock powers and such other corporate documentation with respect to such Pledge Agreement as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary Guaranty (or supplement thereto) or Pledge Agreement in respect of a Foreign Subsidiary shall be required hereunder to the extent (a) the guaranty or pledge thereunder is prohibited by applicable law or (b) the Administrative Agent or its counsel reasonably determines that such guaranty or pledge would not provide material credit support for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations pursuant to a legally valid, binding and enforceable Guaranty or Pledge Agreement, as the case may be; it being understood and agreed that the Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to designate one or more alternative Foreign Subsidiaries to remain in compliance with the Credit Support Requirement.

(K) Credit Support Requirement. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply at all times with the Credit Support Requirement; it being understood and agreed that the Company may add (in the manner set forth in Section 7.2(I) or (J), as applicable) or remove one or more Subsidiaries from their status as either Subsidiary Guarantors or Pledged Foreign Subsidiaries so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing at such time and such addition or removal does not cause noncompliance with the Credit Support Requirement.

(L) Obligor Group. At any time at which the Leverage Ratio of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 for the Last Twelve-Month Period based on the most recent quarterly or annual consolidated financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(A)(i) or (ii), as applicable, no more than 25% of the EBIT of the Obligor Group may be contributed by the Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries that are not Pledged Foreign Subsidiaries (the “Foreign EBIT Cap”). If at any time the Company exceeds the Foreign EBIT Cap, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after knowledge thereof) notify the Administrative Agent thereof and indicate to the Administrative Agent those Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries that should be removed from the Obligor Group so that the remaining Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries do not exceed the Foreign EBIT Cap, provided that the Company may at any time substitute any Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries for other Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries previously removed as long as any such substitution does not cause the Foreign EBIT Cap to be exceeded. If the Company does not so notify the Administrative Agent of such an occurrence within 3 Business Days after the date on which it was required to notify the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to remove from the Obligor Group (with notice to the Company) such Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries as it deems necessary to cause the remaining Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries to satisfy the Foreign EBIT Cap, provided that the Company may at any time thereafter substitute any other Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries for any such removed Foreign-Owned Subsidiaries as long as such substitution does not cause the Foreign EBIT Cap to be exceeded.

(G) Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company, on terms that are (a) not in the ordinary course of business, (b) not authorized by the Board of Directors or (c) less favorable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, in any material respect, than those that might be obtained in an arm’s length transaction at the time from Persons who are not such a holder or Affiliate, except for (i) any transaction expressly permitted by this Section 7.3, (ii) any Affiliate who is an individual may serve as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such Person may receive, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may engage in any transaction or series of transactions related to, reasonable compensation, severance, indemnities and reimbursement of reasonable expenses, including stock incentive and option plans and agreements relating thereto and (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries may enter into transactions (other than extensions of credit by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to an Affiliate) providing for the leasing of property, the rendering or receipt of services or the purchase or sale of inventory and other property in the ordinary course of business if the monetary or business consideration arising therefrom would be substantially as advantageous to the Company and its Subsidiaries as the monetary or business consideration that would obtain in a comparable transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

(H) Merger. The Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, merge or consolidate with or into any other Person, except that (i) a Subsidiary may merge into the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and (ii) provided that no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom on a pro forma basis in accordance with Regulation S-X, the Company or any Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with any other corporation so long as (a) the Company or such Subsidiary is the surviving corporation or (b) the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company or such Subsidiary immediately prior to such merger have, directly or indirectly, shares of Capital Stock of the continuing or surviving corporation (or its parent) immediately after such merger which entitle such holders to exercise in excess of 50% of the total voting power of all shares of Voting Stock of the continuing or surviving corporation (or its parent). As used herein, “Voting Stock” of a Person means Capital Stock of such Person of the class or classes pursuant to which the holders thereof have the general voting power under ordinary circumstances (determined without regard to any classification of directors) to elect at least a majority of the board of directors, managers or trustees of such Person (irrespective of whether or not at the time Capital Stock of any other class or classes shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency).

(iii) restrictions imposed by the holder of a Lien permitted by Section 7.3(C);

(iv) restrictions set forth in any agreement providing for the disposition of property (so long as such prohibition or restraint relates only to the property to be disposed of);

(v) so long as such restriction is not, in the good faith judgment of the Company, more restrictive than those required for comparable Indebtedness incurred by comparable entities, any such restriction set forth in any other agreement pursuant to which Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary may be outstanding at any time (and any comparable restrictions in any document governing any Indebtedness incurred to refinance any of the foregoing, so long as such restrictions are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, no more restrictive than those applicable to the Indebtedness being refinanced); provided, however, that (1) if such restriction is in respect of Liens, such restriction relates to the property securing such Indebtedness, if any, or if such restriction arises in respect of unsecured Indebtedness, such restriction is general in nature and does not specifically reference the Secured Obligations as those which shall not be secured by any Lien granted by the Company or its Subsidiaries; (2) if such restriction is in respect of paying Indebtedness, such restriction in no way prohibits or limits the payment of any Secured Obligations; and (3) if such restriction is in respect of dividends, distributions or intercompany transfers (including, without limitation, loans, advances, guarantees, Investments, other Restricted Payments, sales, transfers and other conveyances), such restriction is not more limiting, restrictive or prohibitive in any material respect than those set forth in this Agreement;

(vi) restrictions set forth in any real property lease agreement, license or joint venture agreement to the extent that such prohibition or restraint relates only to the property which is the subject of such instrument and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(vii) any agreement, note, indenture or other instrument in connection with purchase money Indebtedness (including Capitalized Leases) for which the related Liens are permitted hereunder to the extent that such prohibition or restraint relates only to the assets or property obtained with the proceeds of such Indebtedness; or

(viii) restrictions set forth in any Contractual Obligation with respect to (x) restrictions in favor of any holder of Indebtedness permitted hereunder but solely to the extent such restriction relates to the property financed by or the subject of such Indebtedness, (y) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest, and (z) customary provisions restricting assignment or transfer of any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business.

(J) Hedging Obligations. The Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any interest rate, commodity or foreign currency exchange, swap, collar, cap or similar agreements evidencing Hedging Obligations, other than for non-speculative purposes. Such permitted hedging agreements entered into by the Company or such Subsidiary are sometimes referred to herein as “Hedging Agreements.”

7.4. Financial Covenants. The Company shall comply with the following:

(A) Maximum Leverage Ratio. The Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries shall not permit the ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”) of (i) Net Indebtedness to (ii) EBITDA to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00 for each four (4) fiscal quarter period of the Company.

The Leverage Ratio shall be calculated, in each case, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company based upon (a) for calculating Net Indebtedness, Net Indebtedness as of the last day of each such fiscal quarter; and (b) for calculating EBITDA, the actual amount for the four (4) fiscal quarter period ending on such day (the “Last Twelve-Month Period”), provided, that the Leverage Ratio shall be calculated, with respect to Permitted Acquisitions, on a pro forma basis in accordance with Regulation S-X.

ARTICLE IX: ACCELERATION, DEFAULTING LENDERS; WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

9.1. Termination of Revolving Loan Commitments; Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.1(F) or 8.1(G) occurs with respect to any Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans (including, without limitation, Alternate Currency Loans) hereunder and the obligation of any Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate, the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender and the Borrower shall be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Administrative Agent the cash collateral required pursuant to Section 3.11. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans (including, without limitation, Alternate Currency Loans) hereunder and the obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower expressly waives.

100

9.2. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

9.3. Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (a) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (b) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Obligor that is a party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or reduce the stated rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, or any date for the scheduled payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 12.2(A) or 12.3 or the definition of “Pro Rata Share”, “Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share” or “Term Loan Pro Rata Share” in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, that any Lender may agree, in its sole discretion, to extend its commitments hereunder and the outstanding balance of its Loans beyond the Facility Termination Date pursuant to an amend-and-extend transaction without the consent of any other Lender under this clause (iv), (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, that the addition of Lenders or extension of Additional Term Loans in accordance and in compliance with Section 2.25 shall not constitute a change under clause (v) requiring the consent of all of the Lenders, (vi) change Section 2.26, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (vii) release the Company from its obligations under the Parent Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) release all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (ix) unless otherwise permitted herein or in the applicable Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the collateral that is subject to the Collateral Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank, an Alternate Currency Bank or the Swing Line Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Alternate Currency Bank or the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.26 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank, the Issuing Banks and the Alternate Currency Banks). The Administrative Agent may also amend Exhibit A to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 13.3, and may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3(C) without obtaining the consent of any of the Lenders.

101

ARTICLE X: GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans herein contemplated so long as any principal, accrued interest, fees, or any other amount due and payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations) and so long as the Revolving Loan Commitments and Term Loan Commitments have not been terminated.

10.2. Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

10.3. Performance of Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to (i) at any time, pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against any property of such Borrower to the extent such Borrower is required by the terms hereof to pay any such amount, but has not done so and (ii), after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, to make any other payment or perform any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Document or take any other action which the Administrative Agent in its discretion deems necessary or desirable to protect or preserve such property of such Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to give the Company notice of any action taken under this Section 10.3 prior to the taking of such action or promptly thereafter provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the applicable Borrower’s obligations in respect thereof. The applicable Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all funds advanced by the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.3, together with interest thereon at the rate from time to time applicable to Floating Rate Loans from the date of such advance until the outstanding principal balance thereof is paid in full. If the applicable Borrower fails to make payment in respect of any such advance under this Section 10.3 within one (1) Business Day after the date such Borrower receives written demand therefor from the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each Lender agrees that it shall thereupon make available to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such advance. If such funds are not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is received. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such unreimbursed advance under this Section 10.3 shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such advance on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

102

10.4. Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.5. Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof.

10.6. Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other Lender (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. None of the Alternate Currency Borrowers shall have any liability whatsoever under this Agreement for any Obligations of any kind of the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary.

10.7. Expenses; Indemnification.

(A) Expenses. The Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Alternate Currency Banks and the Arranger for any reasonable costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, or the Arranger in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, review, amendment, modification, and administration of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Alternate Currency Banks, the Issuing Banks, the Arranger and the Lenders for any reasonable costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Alternate Currency Banks and the Arranger and the Lenders; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to pay for fees charges and disbursements for more than one firm of counsel acting for the Administrative Agent in each applicable jurisdiction, and one firm of counsel acting for the Lenders in each applicable jurisdiction) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger, the Alternate Currency Banks, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of the Loan Documents; provided that each Alternate Currency Borrower shall only be liable for a maximum amount consisting of its pro-rata share of the aggregate amount of such expenses, based upon its Obligations. Administrative Agent shall provide the Company with a detailed statement of all reimbursements requested under this Section 10.7(A).

103

(B) Indemnity. The Borrowers further agree to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Alternate Currency Banks, the Issuing Banks and each and all of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of such Administrative Agent’s, Arranger’s, Alternate Currency Bank’s, Issuing Bank’s Lender’s, or Affiliate’s respective officers, directors, trustees, investment advisors, employees, attorneys, advisors and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article V) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), provided that each Alternate Currency Borrower shall be liable for a maximum amount consisting of its pro-rata share of the aggregate amount of such indemnification, based upon its obligations, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to pay for fees charges and disbursements for more than one firm of counsel acting for the Administrative Agent in each applicable jurisdiction, and one firm of counsel acting for the Lenders in each applicable jurisdiction), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of:

(i) this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto or to the making of the Loans, and the issuance of and participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, the management of such Loans or Letters of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; or

(ii) any liabilities, obligations, responsibilities, losses, damages, personal injury, death, punitive damages, economic damages, consequential damages, treble damages, intentional, willful or wanton injury, damage or threat to the environment, natural resources or public health or welfare, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney, expert and consulting fees and costs of investigation, feasibility or remedial action studies), fines, penalties and monetary sanctions, interest, direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, past, present or future relating to violation of any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law or other Requirements of Law arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations of the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors in interest, or, the past, present or future environmental, health or safety condition of any respective property of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the presence of asbestos-containing materials at any respective property of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or the Release or threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”);

104

provided, however, the Borrowers shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent caused by or resulting from (x) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee with respect to the Loan Documents, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely between or among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent or Arranger or any similar role under the Loan Documents (excluding their role as a Lender) and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. If the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

(C) Waiver of Certain Claims; Settlement of Claims. Each Borrower further agrees to assert no claim against any of the Indemnitees, and each Indemnitee agrees to assert no claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, on any theory of liability seeking consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages. No settlement shall be entered into by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any claim, litigation, arbitration or other proceeding relating to or arising out of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents unless such settlement releases all Indemnitees from any and all liability with respect thereto.

(D) Survival of Agreements. The obligations and agreements of the Borrowers under this Section 10.7 and each other provision hereunder or in any other Loan Document whereby the Company or any of its Subsidiaries agrees to reimburse or indemnify any Holder of Secured Obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10.8. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms and other applicable definitions, covenants and provisions herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations and other applicable calculations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. If any changes in GAAP are hereafter required or permitted and are adopted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, tests, restrictions or standards herein or in the related definitions or terms used therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at the Company’s request, to enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a credit neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, until such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be given effect in such calculations and all financial reports (excluding in any event financial statements) required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles without taking into account such Accounting Changes. In the event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to Agreement Accounting Principles shall mean GAAP as of the date of such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position APB 14-1 to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

105

10.9. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

10.10. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between each Borrower and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrowers. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrowers to review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers’ business or operations.

10.11. GOVERNING LAW. ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN ANY BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER HOLDER OF SECURED OBLIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE BORROWERS AND THE LENDERS IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; JURY TRIAL.

(A) NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY BORROWER AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

106

(B) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH BORROWER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS UPON IT AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY WRITS, PROCESS OR SUMMONSES IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING THEREOF BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE COMPANY ADDRESSED AS PROVIDED HEREIN.

(C) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

10.13. Contribution Rights. If any Obligor makes a payment in respect of the Secured Obligations it shall have the rights of contribution set forth below against the other Obligors; provided that no Obligor shall exercise its right of contribution until all the Secured Obligations shall have been finally paid in full in cash. If any Obligor makes a payment in respect of the Secured Obligations that is smaller in proportion to its Payment Share (as hereinafter defined) than such payments made by the other Obligors are in proportion to the amounts of their respective Payment Shares, the Obligor making such proportionately smaller payment shall, when permitted by the preceding sentence, pay to the other Obligors an amount such that the net payments made by the Obligor in respect of the Secured Obligations shall be shared among the Obligors pro rata in proportion to their respective Payment Shares. If any Obligor receives any payment that is greater in proportion to the amount of its Payment Shares than the payments received by the other Obligors are in proportion to the amounts of their respective Payment Shares, the Obligor receiving such proportionately greater payment shall, when permitted by the second preceding sentence, pay to the other Obligors an amount such that the payments received by the Obligors shall be shared among the Obligors pro rata in proportion to their respective Payment Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph or in this Agreement, no liability or Secured Obligation of any Obligor that shall accrue pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid nor shall it be deemed owed pursuant to this paragraph until all of the Secured Obligations shall be finally paid in full in cash. For purposes hereof, the “Payment Share” of each Obligor shall be the sum of (a) the aggregate proceeds of the Secured Obligations received by such Obligor plus (b) the product of (i) the aggregate Secured Obligations remaining unpaid on the date such Secured Obligations become due and payable in full, whether by stated maturity, acceleration, or otherwise (the “Determination Date”) reduced by the amount of such Secured Obligations attributed to such Obligor pursuant to clause (a) above, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Obligor’s net worth on the Closing Date (determined as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal reporting period of such Obligor), and the denominator of which is the aggregate net worth of all Obligors on the Closing Date.

107

10.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.

III as will be described in the Dutch Pledge (the “Dutch Parallel Debt”), including that any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Dutch Parallel Debt will be deemed a satisfaction of a pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the Secured Obligations (other than the Dutch Parallel Debt).

ARTICLE XI: THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. JPMorgan Chase is appointed by the Lenders as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Holder of Secured Obligations by reason of this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Holders of Secured Obligations, (ii) is a “representative” of the Holders of Secured Obligations within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York (or any successor provision) and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders, for itself and on behalf of its affiliates as Holders of Secured Obligations, agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Holder of Secured Obligations waives.

108

11.2. Powers.

(1) Generally. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents required to be taken by the Administrative Agent.

(2) Foreign Pledges. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and granted an irrevocable power of attorney, to execute and deliver any documents necessary or appropriate to execute any and all appropriate Credit Support Documents and take any other action to create and perfect any pledge created under any of the Pledge Agreements for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations.

11.3. General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction arose solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person.

11.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Creditworthiness, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the existence or possible existence of any Default or (v) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or in any of the other Loan Documents for the perfection or priority of the Liens on any collateral subject to the Credit Support Documents, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.

109

11.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all owners of Loans and on all Holders of Secured Obligations. Upon receipt of any such instructions from the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the even that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to act on behalf of the full principal amount of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

11.6. Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorney-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

11.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

11.8. The Administrative Agent’s and the Alternate Currency Banks’ Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Alternate Currency Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower for which the Administrative Agent and such Alternate Currency Bank is entitled to reimbursement by the applicable Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Alternate Currency Bank on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Alternate Currency Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents (provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent such liability arose solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Alternate Currency Bank), in each case, to the extent the Borrowers have not reimbursed or indemnified the Administrative Agent or such Alternate Currency Bank for such amounts (without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder). The obligations and agreements of the Lenders under this Section 11.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any such amounts relating solely to the Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) shall be reimbursed by the Term Loan Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Term Loan Pro Rata Shares thereof, and any such amounts relating solely to the Revolving Loan Commitments (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) shall be reimbursed by the Revolving Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Loan Pro Rata Shares thereof.

110

11.9. Rights as a Lender; JPMorgan Chase Roles.

(a) Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, Loans made by it, and Letters of Credit issued by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”, “Revolving Lender” or “Revolving Lenders”, “Term Loan Lender” or “Term Loan Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” or “Issuing Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries in which such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.

(b) JPMorgan Chase Roles. Each Lender acknowledges that, in addition to acting as a Lender and Issuing Bank with all of the rights and powers thereof as set forth in Section 11.9(a), JPMorgan Chase acts, or may in the future act, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (all such roles, the “JPMorgan Chase Roles”). Without limiting the generality of this Section 11.9(b), each Lender hereby acknowledges and consents to any and all JPMorgan Chase Roles and agrees that in connection with any JPMorgan Chase Role, JPMorgan Chase may take, or refrain from taking, any action that it, in its discretion, deems appropriate.

(c) Dutch Parallel Debt. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Loan Document, in relation to the Dutch Parallel Debt and the Dutch Pledge: (i) the Administrative Agent shall act in its own name and not as agent of any Holder of Secured Obligations (but always for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents); and (ii) the rights, powers and authorities vested in the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents are subject to any restrictions imposed by mandatory Dutch law.

111

11.10. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Company and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent for any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

11.11. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each such successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to approval by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may not be removed without its prior written consent. If the Administrative Agent resigns in accordance with this Article 11.11, each Obligor shall execute such documents and take all such other action as is necessary or (in the opinion of the Administrative Agent) desirable in connection with the substitution, in accordance with applicable law, of the successor Administrative Agent as creditor of the Dutch Parallel Debts and as beneficiary of any Lien securing the Dutch Parallel Debt and as pledge under the Dutch Pledge. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of the Dutch Pledge, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights under the Dutch Parallel Debt until such rights are assigned to the successor Administrative Agent.

112

11.12. Execution of Credit Support Documents.

(A) Authority to Take Action. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into and remain subject to each of the Credit Support Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents, including, without limitation, all enforcement actions. Each Lender agrees that no Holder of Secured Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent acting on its behalf) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Credit Support Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations upon the terms of the Credit Support Documents.

(B) Authority to Execute and Deliver. In the event that any collateral granted by any Credit Support Document is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations.

(C) Authority to Release Liens and Guarantors. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any collateral granted by any Credit Support Document or release any Guarantor from its obligations under any of the Guarantees (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (which satisfaction, in the case of outstanding Letters of Credit, may take the form of a backstop letter of credit from an issuer acceptable to the Administrative Agent or cash collateral); (ii) in connection with any transaction which is expressly permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of collateral or Guarantors pursuant to this Section 11.12(C).

(D) Additional Authority. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting collateral granted by any Credit Support Document which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Company, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations herein or pursuant hereto upon the collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of such collateral.

113

11.13. No Duties Imposed Upon Syndication Agents, Co-Agents or Arranger. None of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Agent”, “Arranger” or “Book Runner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than if such Person is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Agent”, “Arranger” or “Book Runner” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to or fiduciary relationship with any Lender. In addition to the agreement set forth in Section 11.10, each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

11.14. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured 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 prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

11.15. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII: SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

12.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any Indebtedness from any Lender to the Borrowers (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due (provided, however, that no deposits of the Alternate Currency Borrowers or Indebtedness held by or owing to the Alternate Currency Borrowers shall be offset by any Lender and applied towards the Obligations incurred solely by or on behalf of any of the Syndicated Borrowers).

114

12.2. Ratable Payments; Failure to Fund.

(A) If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 2.14(E), 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 4.6) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable share of the Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligation or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

(B) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.2(D), 2.17, 2.20(E), 3.6, 3.7 or 11.8, 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 Swing Line Bank, an Alternate Currency Bank or an Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section 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.

12.3. Application of Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2(B), the Administrative Agent shall, unless otherwise specified at the direction of the Required Lenders which direction shall be consistent with the last two sentences of this Section 12.3, apply all payments and prepayments in respect of any Obligations in the following order:

(A) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the applicable Borrower;

(B) second, to pay interest on and then principal of any advance made under Section 10.3 for which the Administrative Agent has not then been paid by the applicable Borrower or reimbursed by the Lenders;

(C) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expenses, reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

(D) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expenses, reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the issuer(s) of Letters of Credit;

(E) fifth, to pay interest due in respect of Swing Line Loans and Alternate Currency Loans;

115

(F) sixth, to pay interest due in respect of Loans (other than Swing Line Loans or Alternate Currency Loans) and L/C Obligations;

(G) seventh, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal outstanding on Swing Line Loans and Alternate Currency Loans;

(H) eighth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal outstanding on Loans (other than Swing Line Loans), Reimbursement Obligations and Hedging Obligations under Hedging Agreements in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion;

(I) ninth, to provide required cash collateral, if required pursuant to Section 3.11; and

(J) tenth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

Unless otherwise designated (which designation shall only be applicable prior to the occurrence of a Default) by the Company, all principal payments in respect of Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Floating Rate Loans, and then to repay outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans with those Eurocurrency Rate Loans which have earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Interest Periods. The order of priority set forth in this Section 12.3 and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Bank and the issuer(s) of Letters of Credit as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (D) through (J) of this Section 12.3 may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Company, or any other Person; provided, that the order of priority of payments in respect of Swing Line Loans may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Swing Line Bank and in respect of Alternate Currency Loans may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Alternate Currency Banks. The order of priority set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 12.3 may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

12.4. Relations Among Lenders.

(A) Except with respect to the exercise of set-off rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 12.1, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, and except as set forth in the following sentence, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrowers or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

(B) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce on the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

116

12.5. Representations and Covenants Among Lenders. Each Lender represents and covenants for the benefit of all other Lenders and the Administrative Agent that such Lender is not satisfying and shall not satisfy any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement with any assets considered for any purposes of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code to be assets of or on behalf of any “plan” as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, regardless of whether subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

ARTICLE XIII: BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1. Successors and Assigns; Designated Lenders.

(A) Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3, and (iii) any transfer to Participants must be made in compliance with Section 13.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 13.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with Section 13.3(B). The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 13.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 13.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank, (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee or (z) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder to direct or indirect contractual counterparties in interest rate swap agreements relating to the Loans, but in all cases excluding credit default swaps; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 13.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Revolving Loan or Term Loan or which holds any promissory note issued hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 13.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Revolving Loan or Term Loan or which holds any promissory note issued hereunder to direct payments relating to such Revolving Loan, Term Loan or promissory note issued hereunder to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Revolving Loan, Term Loan or any promissory note issued hereunder agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a promissory note has been issued hereunder in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

117

(B) Designated Lenders.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 13.1(B), any Lender may from time to time elect to designate an Eligible Designee to provide all or any part of the Loans to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the designation of an Eligible Designee by any Lender for purposes of this Section 13.1(B) shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the execution by the parties to each such designation of an agreement in the form of Exhibit K hereto (a “Designation Agreement”) and the acceptance thereof by the Administrative Agent, the Eligible Designee shall become a Designated Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Lender shall thereafter have the right to permit the Designated Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by the Designating Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the making of the Loans or portion thereof shall satisfy the obligations of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan was made by the Designating Lender. As to any Loan made by it, each Designated Lender shall have all the rights a Lender making such Loan would have under this Agreement and otherwise; provided, that (x) all voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by the Designating Lender, (y) each Designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligations of a Lender in respect of Loans made by its Designated Lender and (z) no Designated Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement under Article IV hereof for any amount which would exceed the amount that would have been payable by any Borrower to the Lender from which the Designated Lender obtained any interests hereunder. No additional promissory notes shall be required to be issued hereunder with respect to Loans provided by a Designated Lender; provided, however, to the extent any Designated Lender shall advance funds, the Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the promissory notes issued hereunder in its possession as an administrative agent for such Designated Lender to the extent of the Loan funded by such Designated Lender. Such Designating Lender shall act as an administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and receive notices and communications hereunder. Any payments for the account of any Designated Lender shall be paid to its Designating Lender as administrative agent for such Designated Lender and neither the Borrowers nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Lender’s application of such payments. In addition, any Designated Lender may (1) with notice to, but without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, assign all or portions of its interests in any Loans to its Designating Lender or to any financial institution consented to by the Company and Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Designated Lender and (2) subject to advising any such Person that such information is to be treated as confidential in accordance with Section 13.4, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Designated Lender.

118

(ii) Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for one year and a day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any Designated Lender; provided that the Designating Lender for each Designated Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of its inability to institute any such proceeding against such Designated Lender. This Section 13.1(B) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

13.2. Participations.

(A) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loans of such Lender, any promissory note issued hereunder held by such Lender, any Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Revolving Credit Obligations and Term Loans and the holder of any promissory note issued to it hereunder in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

(B) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan, Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 9.3.

(C) Benefit of Certain Provisions. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.2(A) as if each Participant were a Lender. Each Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article IV to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article IV than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Company and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Article IV to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

119

(D) Each Lender that sells a participating interest shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 any Revolving Credit Obligations of such Lender, any promissory note issued hereunder held by such Lender, any Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Credit Obligations of such Lender, any promissory note issued hereunder held by such Lender, any Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Credit Obligation, promissory note, Revolving Loan Commitment or other interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

13.3. Assignments.

(A) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be evidenced by an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (each such agreement, an “Assignment Agreement”). Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company, either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Commitment and Term Loans, as applicable, of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Commitment and Term Loans, as applicable, subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement.

120

(B) Consents. The consent of the Company shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Company shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof from the Administrative Agent. The consent of each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective. Any consent required under this Section 13.3(B) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(C) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement, together with any consents required by Sections 13.3(A) and 13.3(B), and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent or unless such assignment is made to such assigning Lender’s Affiliate), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the funds, money, assets or other consideration used to make the purchase and assumption of the Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Commitment and Term Loans, as applicable, under the applicable Assignment Agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights, benefits and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loans, as applicable, assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrowers, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.3 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 Section 13.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3(C), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by promissory notes, make appropriate arrangements so that, upon cancellation and surrender to the Borrowers of the previously issued promissory notes (if any) held by the transferor Lender, new promissory notes issued hereunder or, as appropriate, replacement promissory notes are issued to such transferor Lender, if applicable, and new promissory notes or, as appropriate, replacement promissory notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Revolving Loan Commitments or Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans (or, if the Facility Termination Date has occurred, their respective Revolving Credit Obligations with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitments), as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

121

(D) The Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an Administrative Agent of the Borrowers (and the Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to act in such capacity), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Loan Commitments or Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts of and interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 13.3. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.4. Confidentiality. Subject to Section 13.5, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective representatives shall hold all confidential information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with such Person’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound commercial lending or investment practices and in any event may make disclosure reasonably required by a prospective Transferee in connection with the contemplated participation or assignment or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or any securities exchange or similar self-regulatory organization or representative thereof or pursuant to a regulatory examination or legal process, or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor, and shall require any such Transferee to agree (and require any of its Transferees to agree) to comply with this Section 13.4. A determination by a Lender or the Administrative Agent as to its compliance with the foregoing permitted disclosures shall be conclusive in good faith. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrowers; provided, however, each prospective Transferee shall be required to agree that if it does not become a participant or assignee it shall return all materials furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement.

13.5. Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that prior to any such disclosure, such prospective Transferee shall agree to preserve in accordance with Section 13.4 the confidentiality of any confidential information described therein.

13.6. Tax Certifications. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 2.14(E) and Article IV.

122

14.2. Change of Address.
