(ii)In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the LC Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an LC Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such LC Issuer any resulting liability.

(iii)If an LC Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the applicable LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.05(f), such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each LC Participant of such failure, and each LC Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such payment in Dollars (in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency, at the Exchange Rate in effect on the date such payment is made by the LC Issuer) and in same-day funds; provided, however, that no LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer.  If the Administrative Agent so notifies any LC Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such LC Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer such LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same-day funds.  If and to the extent such LC Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer, such LC Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.  The failure of any LC Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no LC Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other LC Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of any such payment.

(iv)Whenever an LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from the LC Participants pursuant to subpart (iii) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each LC Participant that has paid its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof, in same-day funds,

64

an amount equal to such LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective LC Participations, as and to the extent so received.

(v)The obligations of the LC Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

(A)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(B)the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that any LC Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor may have against any applicable LC Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Letter of Credit;

(C)any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(D)the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or

(E)the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

(vi)To the extent any LC Issuer is not indemnified by the U.S. Borrower or any LC Obligor, the LC Participants will reimburse and indemnify such LC Issuer, in proportion to their respective Revolving Facility Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such LC Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of LC Issuances by it; provided, however, that no LC Participants shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 2.06Notice of Borrowing.

(a)Time of Notice.  Each Borrowing of a Loan (other than (x) a Borrowing on the Closing Date which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date or (y) Continuation or Conversion) shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below which shall be provided by the Applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Borrowing of a Eurocurrency Loan, 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing.

(b)Notice of Borrowing.  Each request for a Borrowing (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Applicable Borrower by delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed promptly (and in any event on the day of such telephonic notice) in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of the Applicable Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of EMEA Term Loans, U.S. Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, (ii) the aggregate principal

65

amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (iii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Type and, in the case of Revolving Loans and/or Letters of Credit, Approved Currency of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and (v) if applicable, the initial Interest Period.  Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Applicable Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Applicable Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Applicable Borrower.  In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c)Minimum Borrowing Amount.  The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by the Applicable Borrower shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

(d)Maximum Borrowings.  More than one Borrowing may be incurred by a Borrower on any day; provided, however, that (i) if there are two (2) or more Borrowings on a single day (other than with respect to a Term Borrowing made on the Closing Date) by any Borrower that consist of Eurocurrency Loans, each such Borrowing shall have a different initial Interest Period, and (ii) at no time shall there be more than ten (10) Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans outstanding hereunder.

Section 2.07Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds.

(a)Several Nature of Funding Obligations.  The Commitments of each Lender hereunder and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and acquire and fund LC Participations are several and not joint obligations.  No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its Commitments hereunder.  Nothing herein and no subsequent termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b)Borrowings Pro Rata.  All Loans hereunder shall be made as follows:  (i) all Revolving Loans made, and LC Participations acquired by each Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such Revolving Borrowing or Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable Revolving Borrowing is to be made or the Letter of Credit is to be issued; and (ii) all Term Loans of any Class shall be made by the Lenders having Term Commitments of such Class pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments of such Class.

(c)Notice to Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender, as applicable, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and LC Issuance, and of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or LC Request, as the case may be, relating thereto.

(d)Funding of Loans.  No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in the applicable Approved Currency and in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Applicable Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as such Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received.

(e)Advance Funding.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make

66

available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable Borrower, and the Applicable Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by such Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.09, for the respective Loans (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.02).

Section 2.08Evidence of Obligations.

(a)Loan Accounts of Lenders.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Applicable Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b)Loan Accounts of the Administrative Agent; Lender Register.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record: (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate; (ii) the amount and other details with respect to each Letter of Credit issued hereunder; (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from any Borrower to each Lender hereunder; (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) the other details relating to the Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, each Lender, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.  The entries in the Lender Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Lender Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s own interest only) or any Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c)Effect of Loan Accounts, etc.  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)Notes.  Upon reasonable written request of any Lender, the Applicable Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (i) a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence such Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender and (ii) a Term Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the applicable Term Loan made to it by such Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender to not request a Note shall in no way detract from such Borrower’s obligation to repay the applicable Loans and other amounts owing by such Borrower to such Lender.

Section 2.09Interest; Default Rate.

(a)Interest on Revolving Loans.  The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolving Loan Margin in effect from time to time and (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a

67

Eurocurrency Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Revolving Loan Margin in effect from time to time. The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Revolving Loan Margin in effect from time to time.

(b)Interest on Term Loans.  The outstanding principal amount of each U.S. Term Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Margin in effect from time to time, and (ii) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Term Loan Margin in effect from time to time. The outstanding principal amount of each EMEA Term Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Term Loan Margin in effect from time to time.

(c)[Reserved.]

(d)Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the above provisions, if (x) any Event of Default other than a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), or (y) any Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then automatically:  the overdue principal amount of all Loans outstanding shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(e)Accrual and Payment of Interest.  Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Applicable Borrower: (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December: (ii) in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, on the dates that are successively three (3) months after the commencement of such Interest Period; and (iii) in respect of all Loans, other than Revolving Loans accruing interest at a Base Rate, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.09(c), on demand.

(f)Computations of Interest.  All computation of interest hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year).

(g)Information as to Interest Rates.  The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class thereof, and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class.  Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(h)Recalculation of Interest and Fees. By entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed in bona fide that the interest and fees payable hereunder are not and will not become subject to any Tax deduction on account of Swiss Withholding Tax. Nevertheless, if a Tax deduction is required by Swiss law to be made by a Credit Party in respect of any interest or fees payable by it under this Agreement and should it be unlawful for the relevant Credit Party to comply with Section 3.03 (Net Payments) for any reason, then

(i)the applicable interest rate/fee in relation to that interest/fee payment shall be (i) the interest rate/fee which would have applied to that interest payment/fee (as provided for in Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) or otherwise in this Agreement in the absence of this Section 2.09(h) divided by (ii) one (1) minus the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction

68

is required to be made (where the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of one (1) rather than as a percentage); and

(ii)the relevant Credit Party shall be obliged:

(A)to pay the relevant interest/fee at the adjusted rate in accordance with sub-section (i) above; and

(B)to make the Tax deduction on the interest/fee so recalculated; and

all references to a rate of interest/fee in Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) or otherwise in this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.  To the extent that interest/fee payable by a Credit Party under this Agreement becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, the relevant Credit Party will provide to the Administrative Agent and the other Recipients those documents which are required by law and applicable double taxation treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax for the Administrative Agent and each other relevant Recipient to prepare a claim for refund of Swiss Withholding Tax and the Administrative Agent and each other relevant Recipient and the relevant Credit Party shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate Tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the relevant Credit Party to obtain authorisation to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax or to allow the Administrative Agent and the other Recipients to prepare claims for the refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.

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

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(iii)syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the benchmark rates used in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), (any such proposed rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the U.S. Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the U.S. Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods), (ii) the Adjusted

69

Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate, (iii) any Notice of Continuation or Conversion that requests the conversion of any Loan denominated in such effected currency to, or continuation of any Loan denominated in such currency as, a Eurocurrency Loan in such currency may be revoked by the Borrower and, if not revoked, any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such currency that is requested to be continued (A) if such currency is the Dollar, shall be converted to Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) if such currency is an Approved Foreign Currency, shall bear interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent (acting on instructions of the Required Lenders) shall, acting in good faith, determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the Lenders or making or maintaining such Loans for the applicable Interest Period plus the applicable percentage set forth in the definition of “Applicable Term Loan Margin” or “Applicable Revolving Loan Margin” for Eurocurrency Loans and (iv) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such effected currency, (A) if such currency is the Dollar, such Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and (B) if such currency is an Approved Foreign Currency, such Borrowing Request may be revoked by the Borrower and, if not revoked, such Loans shall bear interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent (acting on instructions of the Required Lenders) shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the Lenders or making or maintaining such Loans for the applicable Interest Period plus the applicable percentage set forth in the definition of “Applicable Term Loan Margin” or “Applicable Revolving Loan Margin” for Eurocurrency Loans.

Section 2.10Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(a)Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans.  Each Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to elect to change or continue the Type of any Loans, as follows:

(i)in the case of Base Rate Loans, such Borrower may elect to Convert such Loans to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars as of any Business Day;

(ii)in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, such Borrower may, subject to Section 3.02, elect to (x) Convert all or a portion of such Eurocurrency Loans into a Borrowing or Borrowings of Base Rate Loans on any Business Day, and (y) Continue a Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans with a new Interest Period; and

(iii)in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Approved Currency, (x) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Eurocurrency Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Eurocurrency Loans in such Approved Currency that can be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and (y) Continue a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans in any Approved Currency at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans in such Approved Currency with a new Interest Period.

(b)Notice of Continuation and Conversion.  Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the Applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or Conversion into a Eurocurrency Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Conversion.  Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Applicable Borrower delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be confirmed promptly (and in any event on the day of such telephonic notice) in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of the Applicable Borrower of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new Interest Period.  Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Applicable Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Applicable Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Applicable Borrower.  In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

70

(b)Mandatory Reduction of Revolving Commitments.  On the date that any prepayment that is to be made pursuant to Sections 2.13(c)(iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) is required to be applied to prepay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans, then on such date the Total Revolving Commitment shall be permanently reduced on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such required prepayment and any such reduction shall apply to proportionately (based on each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage) and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender.  If the Total Revolving Commitment is reduced to any amount that is less than the LC Outstandings, the U.S. Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the LC Outstandings to the extent of such excess.

(c)Voluntary Termination of the Total Revolving Commitment.  Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) (unless such notice expressly conditions such termination upon consummation of a transaction which is contemplated to result in prepayment of the Loans, in which case such notice may be revoked by the U.S. Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied) to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the U.S. Borrower shall have the right to terminate in whole the Total Revolving Commitment; provided that (i) all outstanding Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings are contemporaneously prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13 and (ii) either there are no outstanding Letters of Credit or the U.S. Borrower shall contemporaneously cause all outstanding Letters of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation (any such Letters of Credit to be replaced by letters of credit issued by other financial institutions acceptable to each LC Issuer and the Revolving Lenders) or shall Cash Collateralize all LC Outstandings.

(d)Partial Reduction of Total Revolving Commitment.  Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) (unless such notice expressly conditions such reduction upon consummation of a transaction which is contemplated to result in prepayment of the Loans, in which case such notice may be revoked by the U.S. Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied) to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the U.S. Borrower shall have the right to partially and permanently reduce the Unused Total Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that (i) any such reduction shall apply to proportionately (based on each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage) and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) such reduction shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the LC Commitment Amount, but only to the extent that the Unused Total Revolving Commitment would be reduced below any such limits, (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted if the U.S. Borrower would be required to make a mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(c)(ii) or (iii), and any partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 (or, if greater, in integral multiples of $1,000,000).

Section 2.13Voluntary, Scheduled and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a)Voluntary Prepayments.  Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay any of the Loans owing by it, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except as specified in subparts (g) and (h) below, from time to time.  The Applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) of its intent to prepay the Loans, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent by (y) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans, or (z) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, and which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the affected Lenders, provided that:

(i)each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (A) in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars, $5,000,000 (or, if less, the full

72

amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (B) in the case of any prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, $500,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of $100,000, (C) in the case of any Loan denominated in Euros, €5,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of €1,000,000 and (D) in the case of any Loan denominated in Sterling, £5,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of £1,000,000;

(i)no partial prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; and

(i)Revolving Facility Termination Date.  The entire principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

(ii)Loans Exceed the Commitments.  If on any date (after giving effect to any other payments on such date) (A) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving

73

Commitment, or (C) the Aggregate Foreign Currency Exposure exceeds the Approved Foreign Currency Sublimit, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the U.S. Borrower shall, on such day, prepay on such date the principal amount of Revolving Loans and, after the Revolving Loans have been paid in full, Unpaid Drawings, in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

(iii)LC Outstandings Exceed LC Commitment.  If on any date the LC Outstandings exceed the LC Commitment Amount, then the applicable LC Obligor or the U.S. Borrower shall, on such day, Cash Collateralize the LC Outstandings to the extent of such excess.

Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio	Percentage of Excess Cash Flow
Greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00	50	%

(vii)Certain Proceeds of an Event of Loss.  If during any fiscal year of the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has received cumulative Net Cash Proceeds during such fiscal year from one or more Events of Loss (excluding insurance payments in connection with business interruption or delays in construction) of at least $25,000,000, not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds in excess of such amount (the “Excess Event of Loss Proceeds”), (x) the EMEA Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of the EMEA Term Loans and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of each of the U.S. Loans, in each case, in an aggregate amount at least equal to its Applicable Prepayment Portion of such Excess Event of Loss Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.13(d) below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any property suffers an Event of Loss and  the Applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing that it intends to repair, rebuild or restore the affected property, that such repair, rebuilding or restoration can be accomplished within 365 days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and other funds available to such Borrower, or if (X) any of the U.S. Prepayment Group or (Y) any of the Non-U.S. Prepayment Group, as applicable, have entered into a legally binding commitment to repair, rebuild or restore the affected property within 365 days of receipt of such Cash Proceeds, that such repair, rebuilding or restoration can be accomplished within 180 days of the date of such legally binding commitment, then no such prepayment of the Loans shall be required.  If by the deadline specified in the proviso in the preceding sentence, any portion of such Excess Event of Loss Proceeds has not been so used to repair, rebuild or restore the affected property, (x) the EMEA Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of the EMEA Term Loans and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of U.S. Loans, in each case, in an aggregate amount at least equal to its Applicable Prepayment Portion of such Excess Event of Loss Proceeds.  Any such prepayment shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans as provided in Section 2.13(d) below.

(viii)If the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has received any Net Cash Proceeds from any Directed Divestment, not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the U.S. Borrower shall prepay the principal amount of the Term Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to 100% such Net Cash Proceeds.  Any such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to (x) each Class of outstanding U.S. Term Loans, with such amounts being applied to the next eight (8) Scheduled Repayments thereof in direct order and thereafter to the remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis and (y) each Class of outstanding EMEA Term Loans, with such amounts being applied to the next eight (8) Scheduled Repayments thereof in direct order and thereafter to the remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis.

(d)Applications of Certain Prepayment Proceeds.  Each prepayment required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.13(c)(iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) above shall be applied:

(i)with respect to prepayments by the U.S. Borrower, as a mandatory prepayment of principal of first, the applicable Class of outstanding U.S. Term Loans (in the case of a prepayment required by Section 2.13(c)(vi), to each Class of U.S. Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and, in each other case, to the Class of U.S. Term Loans specified in such clause), with such amounts being applied to the next eight (8) Scheduled Repayments thereof in direct order and thereafter to the remaining Scheduled

75

Repayments on a pro rata basis, and second the outstanding Revolving Loans (but without any corresponding reduction in Revolving Commitments), and the LC Outstandings shall be cash collateralized to the extent required by Section 2.12(b); and

(ii)with respect to prepayments by the EMEA Borrower, as a mandatory prepayment of principal of the applicable Class of outstanding EMEA Term Loans (in the case of a prepayment required by Section 2.13(c)(vi), to each Class of EMEA Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and, in each other case, to the Class of EMEA Term Loans specified in such clause), with such amounts being applied to the next eight (8) Scheduled Repayments thereof in direct order and thereafter to the remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis.

(e)Particular Loans to be Prepaid.  With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans made or required by this Section, the Applicable Borrower shall designate the Class and Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that the Applicable Borrower shall first so designate all Loans of the applicable Class that are Base Rate Loans (if applicable for such Class) and Eurocurrency Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Eurocurrency Loans for repayment or prepayment.  In the absence of a designation by the Applicable Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Article III.

(f)Constraints on Upstreaming.  The mandatory prepayments of the Applicable Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.13(c)(iv), (v), (vii) and (viii) of this Agreement shall not be required to the extent and for so long as the repatriation of funds from the Applicable Borrower’s Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries would be required to effect such prepayments and could reasonably be expected to (i) cause such Borrower or its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries to suffer material adverse costs or tax consequences (including the imposition of withholding taxes and taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation), (ii) result in a violation of applicable local law (including, without limitation, financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of such non-U.S. Subsidiary or non-UK Subsidiary) or (iii) expose individual directors of such Borrower or any of its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries to the risk of personal liability, in each case as reasonably determined by the Applicable Borrower in good faith.  The Applicable Borrower and its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries, if any, shall take all commercially reasonable actions to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment to make the relevant prepayment.  If at a later date the Applicable Borrower or any of its Restricted Upstream Subsidiaries is able to repatriate all or any portion of such funds in order to make such mandatory prepayment without incurring a material risk of suffering a material adverse cost or tax consequence or such prohibition, restriction or delay is no longer applicable, as applicable, it shall promptly take all such actions necessary to repatriate such funds and make such mandatory prepayment.

(g)Call Protection.  In the event that any Repricing Event occurs on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to either Class of Closing Date Term Loans, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Term Lenders holding Term Loans of such Class, concurrently with such Repricing Event, a premium in an amount equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event.

(h)Breakage and Other Compensation.  Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Article III hereof.

(i)Waivable Mandatory Prepayment.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if either Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment of a Class of Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(c)(iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”), not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which such Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, such Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding outstanding Term Loans of such Class of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount (but in the case of mandatory prepayments under Section 2.13(c)(vi), solely to the extent that

76

such prepayment does not represent a refinancing of such Class of Term Loans).  Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any such Lender which does not notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option).  On the Required Prepayment Date, the Applicable Borrower shall retain that amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment with respect to which each Lender, if any, shall have exercised its option to refuse (any such amount retained by either Borrower, the “Retained Declined Proceeds”).

Section 2.14Method and Place of Payment.

(a)Generally.  All payments made by the Borrowers hereunder (including any payments made with respect to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under Article X) under any Note or any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

(b)Application of Payments.  Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such prepayment, and (ii) all payments and prepayments of any Class of Term Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the principal amount of such Class of Term Loans held by each Lender on a pro rata basis.

(c)Payment of Obligations.  Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, all payments under this Agreement with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to the Administrative Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and shall be made in the Approved Currency under which such Obligation was incurred.

(d)Timing of Payments.  Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Payment Office) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(e)Distribution to Lenders.  Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent (x) in the case of U.S. Term Loans, in Dollars, (y) in the case of EMEA Term Loans, in Euro and (z) in the case of Revolving Loans, in the applicable Approved Currency, shall in each case be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, in such currency in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unpaid Drawings, interest and Fees then due hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, such funds shall be applied, first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and second, towards payment of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due to such parties.

Section 2.15Defaulting Lenders.

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

77

(i)Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and “Required Revolving Lenders.”

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any LC Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the LC Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16; fourth, as the Applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the LC Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the LC Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the LC Issuers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement of any payment on any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans or reimbursement of any payment on any Letter of Credit were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Outstandings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Outstandings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Outstandings are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Credit Facilities without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees.

(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the U.S. Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Facility Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.

(C)With respect to any LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the U.S. Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such LC Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Outstandings that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each LC Issuer, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting

78

Lender to the extent allocable to such LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Outstandings shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Applicable Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)Cash Collateral.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the U.S. Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the LC Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.16.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Applicable Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)New Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.16Cash Collateral.

(a)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the U.S. Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the LC Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b)Grant of Security Interest.  The U.S. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Outstandings, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the U.S. Borrower will, promptly upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount

79

sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.16 or Section 2.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Outstandings (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)Termination of Requirement.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to  Section 2.15, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each LC Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided, further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the U.S. Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 2.17Increase in Commitments.

(a)The (x) U.S. Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time after the Closing Date, request on one or more occasions Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the EMEA Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time after the Closing Date, request on one or more occasions Incremental Term Loan Commitments, in an aggregate principal amount (together with all Incremental Equivalent Debt outstanding at such time) not to exceed the Incremental Facility Maximum Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, which may include any existing Lender (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion; provided that if any such existing Lender does not respond to such written notice within five (5) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to participate therein) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, in connection therewith; provided, further that each Incremental Term Lender and Incremental Revolving Credit Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of (i) the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent the Administrative Agent would be required to consent to the assignment of any Loans or Commitments to such Incremental Term Lender and Incremental Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) in connection with Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments only, each LC Issuer, to the extent such consent would have been required for assignments of any Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Agreement.  Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of, in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments denominated in Dollars, $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000, in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments denominated in Euro, €1,000,000 and a minimum amount of €10,000,000 and in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments denominated in another currency (which currency shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), such minimum increments as the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 15 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be Closing Date EMEA Term Commitments, Closing Date U.S. Term Commitments or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Closing Date Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”) and (iv) in the case of Other Term Loans, whether such Other Term Loans are to be EMEA Facility Obligations or U.S. Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that all Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are to be Revolving Commitments and based on the terms and conditions set forth herein for Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

80

(b)The Applicable Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender.  The U.S. Borrower and each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Credit Lender.  Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, to be made thereunder; provided, that (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Closing Date Term Loans and any outstanding Incremental Term Loans and (iii) with respect to any Other Term Loans made within the first twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, if the Initial Yield on such Other Term Loans exceeds by more than 50 basis points  the Initial Yield of the Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Loans in the same currency as such Other Term Loans (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for each such affected Type of Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans (this clause (iii), the “MFN Protection”).  As used in the prior sentence, “Initial Yield” shall, as determined by the Administrative Agent, be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate on such Term Loans (which shall be increased by the amount any “LIBOR floor” or “EURIBOR floor”, as applicable, applicable to such Term Loans on the date such Term Loans are made exceeds the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) plus (y) if the Lenders making such Other Term Loans receive any upfront fee or similar fees (including original issue discount where the amount of such discount is equated to interest based on an assumed four (4) year life to maturity, but excluding any arrangement, underwriting, structuring or similar fees) directly or indirectly from the Applicable Borrower or any Subsidiary, the amount of such upfront fee or similar divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (B) four.  The other terms of the Incremental Term Loans and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment to the extent not inconsistent with the terms specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall otherwise be as agreed among the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Additional Credit Extension Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Additional Credit Extension Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary and appropriate to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, evidenced thereby, without requiring the consent of any other Lender, other than the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c)All Incremental Term Loans made to the U.S. Borrower shall rank pari passu to any then outstanding Closing Date U.S. Term Loans as to lien priorities, rights of payment and prepayment and voting and shall be secured only by the U.S. Collateral and guaranteed by the U.S. Borrower Guarantors; provided that such Incremental Term Loan may be secured by assets other than the U.S. Collateral or guaranteed by a Subsidiary other than the U.S. Borrower Guarantors, so long as such assets are contemporaneously included as U.S. Collateral and such Subsidiary contemporaneously becomes a U.S. Borrower Guarantor.  All Incremental Term Loans made to the EMEA Borrower shall rank pari passu to any then outstanding Closing Date EMEA Term Loans as to lien priorities, rights of payment and prepayment and voting and shall be secured only by the Collateral and guaranteed by the EMEA Borrower Guarantors; provided that such Incremental Term Loan may be secured by assets other than the Collateral or guaranteed by a Subsidiary other than the EMEA Borrower Guarantors, so long as such assets are contemporaneously included as Collateral and such Subsidiary contemporaneously becomes a EMEA Borrower Guarantor.

(d)No Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.17 unless on the date of such effectiveness, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate certifying that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(iii) shall be satisfied immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (but such certification shall not be required to the extent such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment is being used to consummate a Limited Condition Acquisition) and that, if utilizing the amounts provided for in clause (B) of the definition of “Incremental Facility Maximum Amount,” the U.S. Borrower is in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis (including with respect to any Permitted Acquisition or permitted

81

Investment to be made in whole or in part, with the proceeds of the relevant Incremental Term Loan (including any Incremental Term Loan Commitment becoming effective contemporaneously with any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment)) with the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio required therein.  Any additional conditions to the entry into or the making of any Loans pursuant to any Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, including the timing of any such conditions (as between being made (x) upon execution of an Additional Credit Extension Amendment or (y) upon the making of any Loans thereunder) shall be as agreed to between the Applicable Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans (including the scope of any representations and warranties to be made at the time the transaction is consummated).

(e)Immediately after giving effect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, the borrowings thereunder and the application of proceeds therefrom, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans shall be applied to consummate a Limited Condition Acquisition, then no Specified Event of Default shall exist and be continuing (1) at the time the definitive agreement in respect of such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into and (2) at the time such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated and (B) the representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for those representations and warranties that are conditioned by “materiality” or “material adverse effect”, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except for those representations and warranties that are conditioned by “materiality” or “material adverse effect”, which shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date; provided that to the extent that the proceeds of Loans under any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then the accuracy of representations and warranties as described in this clause (B) shall be required as of the time the definitive agreement in respect of Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into.  If applicable, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing in respect of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans by the date and time required hereunder with respect to the applicable Type of Loan.

(f)Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the applicable Class of outstanding Term Loans to which such Incremental Term Loan relate on a pro rata basis, and the U.S. Borrower agrees that Section 3.02 shall apply to any conversion of Dollar denominated Eurocurrency Loans which are Term Loans to Base Rate Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.  In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments set forth in Section 2.13(b) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans of the same Class.

Section 2.18Revolving Loan Maturity Extension.

(a)The U.S. Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Class (the Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Existing Revolving Commitments”) be converted into a new Class of Revolving Commitments (the Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Extended Revolving Commitments”) in accordance with this Section 2.18.  In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the U.S. Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments from which such Extended Revolving Commitments are to be converted except that:

(i)the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitments shall be later than the maturity date of the Existing Revolving Commitments;

(ii)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, undrawn revolving commitment fees, funding discounts, OID and premiums with respect to

82

the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Extending Revolving Lenders in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding subclause (A);

(iii)the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries may be subject to covenants and other terms for the benefit of the Extending Revolving Lenders that apply only after the Latest Maturity Date (before giving effect to the Extended Revolving Commitments or such covenants or other terms apply equally for the benefit of the other Lenders).

(b)Each Revolving Extension Request shall specify the date (the “Revolving Extension Effective Date”) on which the U.S. Borrower proposes that the conversion of an Existing Class into an Extended Class shall be effective, which shall be a Business Day.  Each Lender of an Existing Class that is requested to be extended shall be offered the opportunity to convert its Existing Class into the Extended Class on the same basis as each other Lender of such Existing Class.  Any Lender (to the extent applicable, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Class subject to such Revolving Extension Request converted into an Extended Class shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Revolving Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Revolving Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Class subject to such Revolving Extension Request that it has elected to convert into an Extended Class.  In the event that the aggregate portion of the Existing Class subject to Revolving Extension Elections exceeds the amount of the Extended Class requested pursuant to the Revolving Extension Request, the portion of the Existing Class converted shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the Existing Class included in each such Revolving Extension Election.  Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Commitment into an Extended Revolving Commitment, such Extended Revolving Commitment shall be treated identically with all Existing Revolving Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Lender in respect of Letters of Credit under Section 2.05, except that the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide that the maturity date for the Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as each applicable LC Issuer has consented to such extensions in its sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(c)An Extended Class shall be established pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Extending Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower and each LC Issuer; provided, that the consent of each LC Issuer shall only be required to the extent Section 11.12 would require the consent of such Persons for the amendments affected in such Additional Credit Extension Amendment.  This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.12 to the contrary.  No Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall provide for any Class of Extended Revolving Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $10,000,000.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the Revolving Extension Effective Date, (i) the amount of each Existing Revolving Commitment shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the amount converted into an Extended Revolving Commitment and (ii) if, on any Revolving Extension Effective Date with respect to any Class of Revolving Commitments, any Loans of any Extending Revolving Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be converted into Loans (and related participations) made pursuant to the Extended Revolving Commitments in the same proportion as such Extending Revolving Lender’s Existing Revolving Commitments are converted to Extended Revolving Commitments.

Section 2.19Term Loan Amend and Extend Transactions.

(a)At any time after the Closing Date, the Applicable Borrower and any Term Lender (any such Term Lender that agrees to participate in such Extension, an “Extending Lender”) may agree, by notice to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to the Term Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans (each such notice, an “Extension Notice), to extend (an “Extension”) the maturity date of such Lender’s Term Loans of such Class (which term, for purposes of this provision, shall also include any Class of Term Loans outstanding hereunder pursuant to a previous amend and extend transaction pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.19 or any Incremental Term Loans) (the “Existing Term Loans”) to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice and Additional Credit Extension Amendment (each tranche of Term Loans so extended, in each case as well as the

83

original Term Loans not so extended, being deemed a separate Class; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Term Loans from which they were converted; any Class of Term Loans the maturity of which shall have been extended pursuant to this Section 2.19, “Extended Term Loans”); provided that (i) the Applicable Borrower shall have offered to all Term Lenders under the applicable Class of Term Loans that is the subject of the proposed Extension the opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions to each such Term Lender (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”); provided that each Term Lender of such Class of Term Loans shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in any such Extension in its sole discretion and if any such Term Lender does not respond to such Extension Offer within five (5) Business Days, such Term Lender shall be deemed to have declined to participate therein), (ii) subject to clauses (iv) and (v), the Extended Term Loans shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans that was the subject of the Extension Notice; provided that the Extension Offer and/or Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the latest Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer, (iv) the interest rates, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts, premiums, final maturity date, and scheduled amortization (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (v) of this Section 2.19(a)) applicable to any Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the U.S. Borrower and the Extending Lenders, (v) before the latest Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect, the amortization of any Extended Term Loans shall not exceed equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the Extended Term Loans and (vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension Offer (including any Extension Notice and any Additional Credit Extension Amendment) shall be consistent with the foregoing.  In connection with any such Extension, the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the approval of the Extending Lenders of the applicable Extension Series, may effect such amendments (including any Additional Credit Extension Amendment) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension Offer, including any amendments necessary to establish new Classes, tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Extended Term Loans and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, tranches or sub-tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms not inconsistent with this Section 2.19.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with Section 2.19(a) (an “Extension Date”), the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date).  If the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Extending Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans offered to be extended by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the applicable Class of Term Loans of such Extending Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Extending Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

(c)With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.13 and (ii) any Extension Offer is required to be in a minimum amount of $30,000,000.  The Applicable Borrower may at its election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Applicable Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Applicable Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes accept the applicable Extension Offer.

(d)In connection with any Extension, the Applicable Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established

84

by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.

(e)In connection with any Additional Credit Extension Amendment, the Applicable Borrower shall deliver (i) a customary opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) customary reaffirmations and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents and (iii) board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(f)In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error, then the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of Term Loans under the Class of Existing Term Loans in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans were initially converted in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Extended Term Loans to which it was entitled under the terms of such Additional Credit Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Additional Credit Extension Amendment described in Section 2.19(a)), and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.19(a).

(g)This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.12  to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.19 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Extended Term Loans without such Lender’s consent.

Section 2.20Refinancing Term Loans.

(a)The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement or an increase to an existing Class of Term Loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”); provided that:

(i)the proceeds of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be used, concurrently or substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, solely to refinance all or any portion of any outstanding Term Loans;

(ii)each Class of Refinancing Term Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 (or such other amount necessary to repay any Class of outstanding Term Loans in full);

(iii)such Refinancing Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount not greater than the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Term Loans to be refinanced plus any accrued interest, premiums, fees, costs and expenses related thereto (including any OID or upfront fees);

(iv)the final maturity date of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the maturity date of the Term Loans being refinanced, and the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the then remaining weighted average life to maturity of each Class of Term Loans being refinanced;

85

(v)(A) the pricing, rate floors, discounts, fees and optional and mandatory prepayment provisions applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans shall be as agreed between the Applicable Borrower and the Refinancing Term Lenders so long as, in the case of any mandatory prepayment provisions, such Refinancing Term Lenders do not participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any such prepayments as compared to Term Lenders holding Term Loans to be refinanced and (B) the covenants and other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (excluding those terms described in the immediately preceding clause (A)), which shall be as agreed between the Applicable Borrower and such Refinancing Term Lenders, shall not be materially more favorable (when taken as a whole) to the Refinancing Term Lenders than those applicable to any Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (as determined by the Borrowers in good faith), except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect or such covenants or other terms apply equally for the benefit of the other Lenders;

(vi)no existing Lender shall be required to provide any Refinancing Term Loans;

(vii)such Refinancing Term Loans (x) refinance a Class of Term Loans made to the U.S. Borrower shall be secured only by U.S. Collateral and guaranteed by the U.S. Borrower Guarantors; provided that such Refinancing Term Loan may be secured by assets other than the U.S. Collateral or guaranteed by a Subsidiary other than the U.S. Borrower Guarantors, so long as such assets are contemporaneously included as U.S. Collateral and such Subsidiary contemporaneously becomes a U.S. Borrower Guarantor and (y) refinance a Class of Term Loans made to the EMEA Borrower shall be secured by the Collateral and guaranteed by the EMEA Borrower Guarantors; provided that such Refinancing Term Loan may be secured by assets other than the Collateral or guaranteed by a Subsidiary other than the EMEA Borrower Guarantors, so long as such assets are contemporaneously included as Collateral and such Subsidiary contemporaneously becomes a EMEA Borrower Guarantor; and

(viii)(x) all Refinancing Term Loans made to the U.S. Borrower shall rank pari passu to any then outstanding U.S. Term Loans as to lien priorities and rights of payment on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the U.S. Term Loans being refinanced and (y) all Refinancing Term Loans made to the EMEA Borrower shall rank pari passu to any then outstanding EMEA Term Loans as to lien priorities and rights of payment on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the EMEA Term Loans being refinanced, on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced.

(b)Each such notice shall specify (x) the date (each, a “Refinancing Term Effective Date”) on which the Applicable Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans be made, which shall be a Business Day and (y) the identity of the Persons (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee (for this purpose treating a Lender of Refinancing Term Loans as if it were an assignee)) whom the Applicable Borrower proposes would provide the Refinancing Term Loans and the portion of the Refinancing Term Loans to be provided by each such Person.  On each Refinancing Term Effective Date, each Person with a commitment for a Refinancing Term Loan (each such Person, a “Refinancing Term Lender”) shall make a Refinancing Term Loan to the Applicable Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Person’s commitment therefor.

(c)This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.12 to the contrary.  The Refinancing Term Loans shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Refinancing Term Lenders, the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20.

Section 2.21Replacement Revolving Commitments.

(a)The U.S. Borrower may at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of Revolving Commitments (“Replacement Revolving Commitments”) to replace all or a portion of any existing Classes of Revolving Commitments under this Agreement (“Replaced Revolving Commitments”); provided that:

86

(i)substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of the Replacement Revolving Commitments, all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to such effectiveness shall be terminated, and all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that any Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the Replaced Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to have been issued under the Replacement Revolving Commitments if the amount of such Letters of Credit would exceed the remaining amount of commitments under the Replaced Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the reduction contemplated hereby);

(ii)such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount not greater than the aggregate principal amount of Replaced Revolving Commitments to be replaced plus any accrued interest, premiums, fees, costs and expenses related thereto (including any OID or upfront fees);

(iii)the final maturity date of such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall not be shorter than the maturity date of the Replaced Revolving Commitments, and the Replacement Revolving Commitments shall not be subject to any amortization;

(iv)the LC Commitment Amount under such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be as agreed between the U.S. Borrower, such Replacement Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuers thereunder (or any replacement LC Issuers);

(v)(A) the pricing, rate floors, discounts, fees and optional and mandatory prepayment provisions applicable to such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be as agreed between the U.S. Borrower and the Replacement Revolving Lenders so long as, in the case of any mandatory or optional prepayment provisions, such Replacement Revolving Lenders do not participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any such prepayments as compared to Revolving Lenders with Replaced Revolving Commitments and (B) the covenants and other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Commitments (excluding those terms described in the immediately preceding clause (A)), which shall be as agreed between the U.S. Borrower and such Replacement Revolving Lenders, shall not be materially more favorable (when taken as a whole) to such Replacement Revolving Lenders than those applicable to the Revolving Lenders with Replaced Revolving Commitments (as determined by the U.S. Borrower in good faith), except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date then applicable to the Revolving Facility hereunder or such covenants or other terms apply equally for the benefit of the other Lenders;

(vi)no existing Lender shall be required to provide any Replacement Revolving Commitments;

(vii)such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be secured by the U.S. Collateral and guaranteed by the U.S. Borrower Guarantors; provided that Replacement Revolving Commitments may be secured by assets other than the U.S. Collateral or guaranteed by a Subsidiary other than the U.S. Borrower Guarantors, so long as such assets are contemporaneously included as U.S. Collateral and such Subsidiary contemporaneously becomes a U.S. Borrower Guarantor; and

(viii)all Replacement Revolving Commitments shall rank pari passu to any then outstanding Revolving Commitments as to lien priorities and rights of payment.

(b)Each such notice shall specify (x) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Commitments become effective, which shall be a Business Day and (y) the identity of the Persons (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee (for this purpose treating a Lender of Replacement Revolving Commitments as if it were an assignee)) whom the U.S. Borrower proposes would provide the Replacement Revolving Commitments (each such person, a “Replacement Revolving Lender”) and the portion of the Replacement Revolving Commitments to be provided by each such Person.

87

(c)This Section 2.21  shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.12 to the contrary.  The Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Replacement Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

Section 2.22956 Savings.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary (including any provision that would otherwise apply notwithstanding other provisions or that is the beneficiary of other overriding language), (i) no more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the voting capital stock in any CFC or CFC Holdco shall be pledged to secure any U.S. Obligations, (ii) no CFC, CFC Holdco or any Subsidiary of a CFC or CFC Holdco shall guarantee any U.S. Obligations, (iii) no security or similar interest shall be granted in the assets of any CFC, CFC Holdco or any Subsidiary of a CFC or CFC Holdco, which security or similar interest secures any U.S. Obligations, (iv) the Non-U.S. EMEA Credit Parties shall not be required to make any payment in support of the U.S. Obligations and (v) no proceeds in respect of Collateral in respect of the Non-U.S. EMEA Credit Parties shall be applied to pay or offset any portion of the U.S. Obligations, including any U.S. Loans. The parties agree that any pledge, guaranty or security or similar interest or payment made or granted in contravention of this Section 2.22 shall be void ab initio.

ARTICLE III.

INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES

Section 3.01Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.(a)In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender or other Recipient, shall have determined on a reasonable basis (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i)on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Eurocurrency Loan; or

(ii)at any time, that such Lender or other Recipient shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender or other Recipient deems material with respect to any Eurocurrency Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of any (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) because of (x) any Change in Law since the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, a change in requirements for any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or other Recipient, but, in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this Agreement) or (y) other circumstances adversely affecting the London interbank market or the position of such Lender or other Recipient in any such market; or

(iii)at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Change in Law since the Closing Date, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market; then, and in each such event, such Lender or other Recipient (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or time and (2) within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the U.S. Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders or other Recipients).  Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the

88

affected Type of Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders or other Recipients that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Applicable Borrower with respect to such Type of Eurocurrency Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Applicable Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing, shall, at the option of the U.S. Borrower in the case of a Loan denominated in Dollars, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or other Recipient, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender or other Recipient shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender or other Recipient for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender or other Recipient, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Applicable Borrower by such Lender or other Recipient shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Applicable Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b)At any time that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), the Applicable Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) the Applicable Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Applicable Borrower was notified by a Lender or other Recipient pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing of a Loan denominated in Dollars, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender or other Recipient to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding and denominated in Dollars, upon at least one (1) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender or other Recipient to Convert each such Eurocurrency Loan into a Base Rate Loan, (iii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding and is a EMEA Term Loan, bear interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Term Loan Margin or (iv) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding and is a Revolving Loan denominated in an Approved Currency, shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, however, that if more than one Lender or other Recipient is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders or other Recipients must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).

(c)If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation would have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction.  Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Applicable Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Applicable Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Lender shall be entitled to compensation or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 for any amounts

89

incurred or accruing more than 180 days prior to the giving of notice to the Applicable Borrower of additional costs or other amounts of the nature described in such Sections (provided that if such additional costs or other amounts arose as a result of a Change in Law that was retroactive, then such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and (ii) no Lender shall demand compensation for any reduction referred to in Section 3.01(c) or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.04 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation, payment or reimbursement in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

Section 3.02Breakage Compensation.  The Applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurocurrency Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (other than a Notice of Borrowing deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.01(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurocurrency Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Applicable Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05(b); or (v) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Applicable Borrower to repay or prepay any Eurocurrency Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to Section 3.05(b).  The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 3.03Net Payments.

(a)Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 3.03, the term “Lender” includes any LC Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Each Credit Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any applicable Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by the Credit Parties.  (i) Each EMEA Credit Party with respect to EMEA Term Loans shall, jointly and severally, with such other EMEA Credit Parties indemnify each applicable Recipient and (ii) each U.S. Credit Party with respect to U.S. Loans, Letters of Credit and Revolving Commitments shall, jointly and severally, with such other U.S. Credit Parties indemnify each applicable Recipient, in each case within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes 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 the Applicable

90

Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  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 paragraph (e).

(f)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent or prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding, including backup withholding, or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(g)(ii)(A),  (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Applicable  Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

91

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Applicable Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership, or is a participating Lender), executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

92

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(g).

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party 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 pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)VAT

(i)All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any party to a Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any party under a Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Recipient must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(ii)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “VAT Receiver”) under any Loan Document, and any party other than the VAT Receiver (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the VAT Receiver in respect of that consideration):

(A)where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT.  The VAT Receiver must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Receiver receives from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Receiver reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(B)where the VAT Receiver is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the VAT Receiver, pay to the VAT Receiver an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the VAT Receiver reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(iii)Where any Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such

93

Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.03(i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (including but not limited to a fiscale eenheid for Dutch VAT purposes, “Unity”) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or Unity of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or Unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that party must promptly provide such Recipient with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(j)Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 3.04Increased Costs to LC Issuers.  If after the Closing Date, there is a Change in Law by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any LC Issuer or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer or such Lender’s participation therein, or (ii) impose on such LC Issuer or any Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such LC Issuer or such Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such LC Issuer or such Lender hereunder (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of any (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes), then, upon demand to the U.S. Borrower by such LC Issuer or such Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), the U.S. Borrower shall pay to such LC Issuer or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate any such LC Issuer or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.  A certificate submitted to the U.S. Borrower by any LC Issuer or any Lender, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate any LC Issuer or such Lender as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the U.S. Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the U.S. Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.04.

Section 3.05Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), 3.01(c), 3.03 or 3.04 requiring the payment of additional amounts to the Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the U.S. Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.  The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable,

100

entity (including without limitation EU Regulation (EC) 2271/96 and Section 7 of the German Foreign Trade Ordinance (Verordnung zur Durchführung des Außenwirtschaftsgesetzes (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung — AWV)).

(b)The financial projections of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, dated as of April 10, 2018, prepared by the U.S. Borrower (after giving effect to the Transactions) calculated on an annual basis for the calendar years 2017 through 2022 and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the “Financial Projections”) were prepared on behalf of the U.S. Borrower in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed to be reasonable at the time made in light of the conditions existing at the time the Financial Projections were created; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic conditions or as to whether the U.S. Borrower’s projected consolidated results as set forth in the Financial Projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the periods covered by the Financial Projections may differ materially from the Financial Projections.

(c)The Target German Assets contributed approximately $21,000,000 of Consolidated EBITDA calculated on a pro forma basis (giving effect to the Target Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Section 5.08Solvency.  Both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the Transactions to occur and the initial Credit Event on the Closing Date, (i) the present fair salable value of the assets of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the (a) total amount of present debts and liabilities (including subordinated and contingent liabilities) of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, and (b) amount that will be required to pay the probable liability, on a consolidated basis, of their debts and other liabilities (including subordinated and contingent liabilities) as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (ii) the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay all debts and liabilities (including subordinated and contingent liabilities) as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the date hereof, and (iv) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries intends to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors or any other person to which the U.S. Borrower or its Subsidiaries are or, on or after the date hereof, will become indebted.  For purposes of this Section 5.08, in computing the amount of contingent liabilities at any time, such liabilities shall be computed at the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

101

Section 5.09No Material Adverse Change.  Since the Closing Date, there has been no change in the financial condition, business, affairs or properties and assets of the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for changes none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.10Tax Returns and Payments.

(a)Each Credit Party has filed all federal and state income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all material taxes and assessments payable by it that have become due, other than those not yet delinquent or those being contested in good faith.  No claims or investigations are being asserted against Credit Parties with respect to Taxes, where such claim or investigation would have a Material Adverse Effect, unless the same are being disputed in good faith by appropriate means or adequate reserves are being maintained in respect of such claims.  Each Credit Party has established on its books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by GAAP.  No Credit Party knows of any proposed assessment for additional federal, foreign, state or provincial taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, which, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as the U.S. Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have made, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.11Title to Properties, etc.  Each Credit Party has good and marketable title, in the case of owned Real Property, and good title (or valid Leaseholds, in the case of any leased property), in the case of all other property, to all of its properties and assets free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens or as a result of a Directed Divestment In Trust.  Schedule 5.11 sets forth a complete list of each Real Property owned by the Credit Parties on the Closing Date having a fair market value in excess of $10,000,000.

Section 9.09Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, ratably according to their pro rata share of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Related Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the U.S. Borrower, but without limitation of the U.S. Borrower’s obligation to do so; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or any such Related Parties for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

Section 9.10The Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Credit Parties, their respective Subsidiaries and their Affiliates as though not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder.  With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.11Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon not less than 30 days’  prior written notice to the Lenders, each LC Issuer and the Borrowers.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the earlier of (i) the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the 30th day following receipt by the Borrowers, the Lenders and each LC Issuer of the written resignation notice.  Upon receipt of any such written notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers, to appoint a successor (other than any Person that is a Disqualified Lender), which consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which shall not be required during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default (other than with respect to the appointment of any Person that is a Competitor, which shall require the consent of the U.S. Borrower under all circumstances).  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each LC Issuer, with the consent of the Borrowers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which shall not be required during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default (other than with respect to the appointment of any Person that is a Competitor, which shall require the consent of the U.S. Borrower under all circumstances), appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall not be a Disqualified Lender; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and the terms hereof.  Upon the effective time of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent

141

shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).  The fees payable by the U.S. Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between the U.S. Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

For purposes of any Security Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights under any parallel debt obligations until all rights and obligations with respect to such parallel debt obligations have been assigned to and assumed by the successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its right under the parallel debt obligations to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Security Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands (as the case may be) to such successor agent.

Section 9.12Other Agents.  Any Lender identified herein as a Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent,  Lead Arranger or any other corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.

Section 9.13UK Security Documents, Irish Security Documents and Northern Irish Security Documents.

(a)Winding up of UK Security Trust.  If the Administrative Agent determines that (x) all of the Obligations and all other obligations secured by the Loan Documents have been fully and finally discharged and (y) none of the Lenders is under any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or contingent) to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to any Loan pursuant to the Loan Documents the trusts set out in this Agreement and the UK Security Documents in relation to the UK Security Documents shall be wound up and the Administrative Agent shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of the Liens created under the UK Security Documents and the rights of the Administrative Agent under each of the UK Security Documents.

(c)UK Disapplication.  Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Administrative Agent in relation to the trusts constituted by this Agreement in respect of the UK Security Documents.  Where there are any inconsistencies between the Trustee Act 1925, the United Kingdom Trustee Act 2000, the Trusts (Scotland) Act 1921, the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 or the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 2001 of Northern Ireland and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent allowed by law, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Act 2000, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act.

Section 9.14Agency for Perfection.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets that, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as secured party.  Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby appoints the Administrative Agent for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Deposit Accounts or on any other deposit accounts or securities accounts of any Credit Party.  Each Credit Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

Section 9.15Proof of Claim.  The Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(i), in case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, examinership, administration, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, administrator, sequestrator, examiner or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,

143

expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent and other agents hereunder.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lenders or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.  Further, nothing contained in this Section 9.15 shall affect or preclude the ability of any Lender to (i) file and prove such a claim in the event that the Administrative Agent has not acted within ten (10) days prior to any applicable bar date and (ii) require an amendment of the proof of claim to accurately reflect such Lender’s outstanding Obligations.

Section 9.16Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.

(a)Delivery of Communications.  Each Credit Party hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to such Credit Party that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent.  In addition, each Credit Party agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

144

communication) from time to time of such Lender’s electronic mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such electronic mail address.

(e)No Prejudice to Notice Rights.  Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 9.17Credit Bidding.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 thereof, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) or any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (whether domestic or foreign, and including any Debtor Relief Law) now or hereafter in effect, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law.

Section 9.18Intercreditor Agreements.  The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into, any intercreditor or subordination agreement or arrangement entered into in connection with any Incremental Equivalent Debt permitted hereby (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Credit Party of any Incremental Equivalent Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing of the foregoing), to the extent permitted hereby), and the parties hereto acknowledge that any intercreditor or subordination agreement or arrangement entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, will be binding upon them.  Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any intercreditor or subordination agreement or arrangement entered into in connection with any Incremental Equivalent Debt permitted hereby and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into, if applicable, any intercreditor or subordination agreement or arrangement entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements or arrangements in connection with the incurrence by any Credit Party of any Incremental Equivalent Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing of the foregoing) to the extent permitted hereby) and in the case of any such intercreditor or subordination agreement or arrangement, subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.

Section 9.19Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

Section 9.20Parallel Obligations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent, as creditor in its own right and not as representative of the other Secured Creditors, sums equal to and in the currency of each amount payable by such Borrower to Secured Creditors with respect to the EMEA Term Loan and the other EMEA Facility Obligations under the Loan Documents as and when that amount falls due for payment under the relevant Loan Document or would have fallen due but for any discharge resulting from failure of another Secured Creditors to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting such Credit Party, to preserve its entitlement to be paid that amount (the “Parallel Obligation”). The Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each Borrower under this Section 9.20, irrespective of any discharge of such Borrower’s obligation to pay those amounts to the other Secured Creditors resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting such Credit Party, to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts. Any amount due and payable by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.20 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Secured Creditors have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Loan Documents and any amount due and payable by a Credit Party to the other Secured Creditors under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Administrative Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Section 9.20. The rights of the Secured Creditors (other than the Administrative Agent) to receive payment of amounts payable by each Borrower under the Loan Documents are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive payment under this Section 9.20.

ARTICLE X.

Section 10.02Reserved.

Section 10.03Guaranty Unconditional.  The obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Article X shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any of the following:

147

(b)any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Borrower Guaranteed Obligation;

(c)any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations;

(d)any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding (including under any Debtor Relief Law) affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations;

(e)the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the U.S. Borrower may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

(f)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; or

(g)any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the U.S. Borrower’s obligations under this Section other than the irrevocable payment in full of all U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.04Borrower Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration.  The U.S. Borrower’s obligations under this Article X shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers, any other Credit Party or other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations, unasserted expense reimbursement obligations and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or backstopped).  If at any time any payment of any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party (including under any Debtor Relief Law), the U.S. Borrower’s obligations under this Article with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10.05Waiver of Acceptance, etc.  The U.S. Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other Person.

Section 10.06Subrogation.  Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, unasserted expense reimbursement obligations and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or backstopped) and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, the U.S. Borrower shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this Section 10.06 to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof.

Section 10.07Effect of Stay.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party (including under any Debtor Relief Law), all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the U.S. Borrower under this Article forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.08Keepwell.  The U.S. Borrower, to the extent it is a Qualified ECP Guarantor, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by the U.S. Borrower to honor all of its obligations under this Article X in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements (provided, however, that the U.S. Borrower shall only be liable under this Section 10.08 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.08, or otherwise under this Article X, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Section 10.08 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, unasserted expense reimbursement obligations and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or backstopped) and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.  The U.S. Borrower intends that this Section 10.08 constitute, and this Section 10.08 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 11.02Indemnification.  Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each LC Issuer, each Lender, and their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses (other than lost profits), liabilities, claims, damages and reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in connection with any related transaction or any claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or the U.S. Borrower or any of its Affiliates or shareholders) related to the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Loan Document or any of the other Transactions and to reimburse each such Indemnitee upon demand for any reasonable and documented fees and expenses, joint or several, incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, other than any such investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of transactions solely between any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, transactions solely involving the assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its Loans and Commitments, or the granting of participations therein, as provided in this Agreement, or arising solely out of any examination of a Lender by any regulatory or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it that is not in any way related to the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document, including the reasonable documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one outside counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one special counsel and one firm of local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and one additional counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in the event of an actual conflict incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses of any Indemnitee to the extent (A) arising from (x) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Related Parties (but in the case of any agent, advisor or other representative, only to the extent such agent or advisor was acting at the direction of the applicable Indemnitee) or (y) a material breach by such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Related Parties of their obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) arising solely from a dispute among Indemnitees (other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or similar role under the Loan Documents) not involving or resulting from any action or inaction of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Affiliates).

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Credit Party shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.02 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claims.

150

Section 11.03Right of Setoff.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and each LC Issuer is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, with or without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or such LC Issuer (including by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender or LC Issuer wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender or LC Issuer under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or LC Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over promptly to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender and LC Issuer agrees to promptly notify the U.S. Borrower after any such set off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

Section 11.04Equalization.

(a)Equalization.  If at any time any Lender receives any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, LC Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent or an LC Issuer and amounts payable to a Lender under Article III), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount.  The provisions of this Section 11.04(a) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Outstandings to any assignee or participant, other than to the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

(b)Recovery of Amounts.  If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subpart (a) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.

(c)Consent of Borrowers.  Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 11.06Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders; provided, further, that any assignment or participation by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effected in accordance with this Section 11.06.

152

(b)Participations.  Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to an Eligible Assignee or an Eligible Participant; provided that in the case of any such participation,

(i)the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto),

(ii)such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(iii)such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

(iv)such Lender shall remain the holder of the Obligations owing to it and of any Note issued to it for all purposes of this Agreement, and

(v)the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,

and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent (A) such participant is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the Lender granting the participations or (B) such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of the date of any Scheduled Repayment of any of the Loans in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Commitment), (y) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the applicable Obligations, except in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and, provided still further that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 with respect to its participation as if it was a Lender, except that a participant shall (i) only deliver the forms described in Section 3.03(g) to the Lender granting it such participation, (ii) agree to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.05(b) and 11.12(h) as if it were a Lender and (iii) not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment arose from a Change in Law occurring after the participant became a participant hereunder and the Applicable Borrower consented to such participant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall knowingly grant a participation to any Person other than an Eligible Participant or Eligible Assignee if such grant of a participation to such Person together with the participations previously granted to such Person and known to the Lender exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable in the event that a participation in any Loan or Commitment is transferred or granted to any Restricted Participant or exceeds the threshold set forth in the foregoing sentence.

In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the U.S. Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in such Loan and the principal amount of (and stated interest on) the portion of such Loan that is the subject of the participation (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 commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all

153

purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  A Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide).  Any participation of a Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Assignments by Lenders.

(i)Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans, LC Participations and/or Commitments (in each case together with a proportional interest in the Security Documents governed by Swedish law, if any) and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that

(A)except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility and $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loans;

(B)in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at the time of any such assignment the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders; and

(C)upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the U.S. Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments.

(ii)To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(iii)At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms and all other documentation described in Section 3.03(g).

(iv)With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the U.S. Borrower) with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans, including the name and address of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon).  Prior to such recordation, all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.  The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c).

(v)Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank, central banking authority or to any Person that extends credit to such Lender in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, central banking authority or such other Person, or (B) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it.  No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

154

(vi)In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(d)No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State.

(e)Representations of Lenders.  Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represents that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject to Section 11.06(b), (c) and (f), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

(f)Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, the option to provide to the any Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loans and (y) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.  This Section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC.  The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each SPC, for purposes of Sections 2.10, 2.14, 3.01, 3.03, 11.01, 11.02 and 11.03, shall be considered a Lender.

Section 11.07No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall

155

operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.  No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or any LC Issuance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.  The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

(e)In no event shall the Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct the Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to terminate the Commitments of one or more Lenders without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders.  Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any of the Loan Documents and without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action or institute any action or proceeding against any Credit Party with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral, or accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, uniform commercial code sales or other similar sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by the Required Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 11.12(e) or elsewhere herein, each Lender shall be authorized to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any Credit Party where a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would, absent the taking of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender against such Credit Party, including the filing of proofs of claim in any insolvency proceeding.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.12, (w) Security Documents (including any Additional Security Documents) and related documents executed by Subsidiaries of the Applicable Borrower in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and such Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (x) if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof, (y) the Required Revolving Lenders or the Administrative Agent or by the Administrative Agent acting at the written direction of the Required Revolving Lenders, on the one hand, and the U.S. Borrower, on the other hand, may amend, supplement or otherwise modify or waive any of the terms and provisions (and related definitions) of Section 7.07 and (z) the Administrative Agent,

159

New Parent and the Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend the Loan Documents to implement the amendments contemplated by Section 7.02(a)(ii) in connection with a Holding Company Merger and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(g)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.12(a), this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(h)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provisions hereof as contemplated by this Section 11.12 that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of a Lender whose consent is required shall not have been obtained (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.04(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (A) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including in the case of any Non-Consenting Lender replaced in connection with a Repricing Event that occurs on or prior to the date that is six months following the Closing Date,  a premium in an amount equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender that are the subject of such Repricing Event, any breakage compensation under Section 3.02 and any amounts accrued and owing to such Lender under Section 3.01(a)(i), Section 3.01(c), Section 3.03 or Section 3.04), and (B) such Eligible Assignee shall consent at the time of such assignment to each matter in respect of which such Non-Consenting Lender did not consent.  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender and is being replaced in accordance with this Section 11.12(h), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Notes previously delivered to such Non-Consenting Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.06 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.06.

(i)Any Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” except that, subject to Section 11.12(a), (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that (A) by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders, (B) increases or extends the Commitment of any such Defaulting Lender, (C) reduces the principal of or the rate of interest for Loans of such Defaulting Lender, or fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to such Defaulting Lender or (D) amends or modifies any provision of this paragraph shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(j)No Lender consent shall be required to effect an Additional Credit Extension Amendment entered into pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21.  In connection therewith, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments, Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments, as applicable, may effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to

160

effect the provisions of this Section 11.12(j) and this Section 11.12(j) shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary.

Section 11.13Survival of Indemnities.  All indemnities set forth herein including in Article III, Section 9.09 or Section 11.02 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

Section 11.14Domicile of Loans.  Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 3.01 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.

Section 11.15Confidentiality.

(a)Each of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (1) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (2) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (3) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (4) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrowers prior to such disclosure, to the extent legally permitted to do so), (5) to any other party to this Agreement, (6) to any other creditor of any Credit Party that is a direct or intended beneficiary of any of the Loan Documents, (7) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (8) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or in connection with transactions permitted pursuant to Section 11.06(c)(v) or Section 11.06(f), (9) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, or (10) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.15, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party and not otherwise in violation of this Section 11.15.  After the Closing Date, the Lead Arrangers may place customary advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, including in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of you and your affiliates (or any of them), and the amount, type and Closing Date.

(b)As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrowers relating to any Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided, however, that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

(c)Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  The Borrowers hereby agree that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not relieve the Borrowers, or any other Credit Party, of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.16Limitations on Liability of the LC Issuers.  The U.S. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit.  Neither any LC Issuer nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection

161

therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by an LC Issuer against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the LC Obligor shall have a claim against an LC Issuer, and an LC Issuer shall be liable to such LC Obligor, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such LC Obligor that such LC Obligor proves were caused by (i) such LC Issuer’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such LC Issuer’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an LC Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

Section 11.17General Limitation of Liability.  No claim may be made by any Credit Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrowers, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuer hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waive, release and agree not to sue or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential, lost profit or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in their favor.

Section 11.18No Duty.  All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such Person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the Borrowers, to any of their Subsidiaries, or to any other Person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation.  Each Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters.

Section 11.19Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrowers, etc.  The relationship among the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 11.20Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all LC Issuances hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto, the issue and delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf.

Section 11.21Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.22Directed Divestment.  None of the provisions set forth in Article VI or VII or in Section 8.01(h) shall prohibit any Directed Divestment effected in accordance with applicable law so long as the Borrowers comply with the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.13(c)(viii).

162

Section 11.23Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 11.24USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

Section 11.25Advertising and Publicity.  No Credit Party shall issue or disseminate to the public (by advertisement, including without limitation any “tombstone” advertisement, press release or otherwise), submit for publication or otherwise cause or seek to publish any information describing the credit or other financial accommodations made available by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to prohibit any Credit Party from making any submission or filing which it is required to make by applicable law or pursuant to judicial process; provided, that, (i) such filing or submission shall contain only such information as is necessary to comply with applicable law or judicial process and (ii) unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the requirement to make such submission or filing and provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.

Section 11.26Release of Guarantees and Liens.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender) to take any action requested by the Borrowers having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary or reasonably requested to permit consummation of any transaction permitted by any Loan Document (including any (x) merger, consolidation, amalgamation, Asset Sale and/or liquidation or (y) designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents) or that has been consented to in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) under the circumstances described in the next succeeding sentence.  All Liens created under the Loan Documents on the Target German Assets subject to a Directed Divestment shall be automatically released immediately prior to the consummation of such Directed Investment.  When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been fully and finally discharged (other than obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements, Banking Services Obligations, contingent indemnity obligations and obligations in respect of Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or backstopped) and the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, the Administrative Agent will, at the U.S. Borrower’s sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of intellectual property, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are necessary or advisable to release, as of record, the Administrative Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations.

Section 11.27Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any Secured Creditor receives a payment from or on behalf of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of any Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

163

Section 11.28Swedish Security . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the release of any security interest (that is perfected or purported to be perfected) in any Collateral subject to a Security Document governed by Swedish law will (unless, in relation to a release of security over such Collateral due to a disposal of such asset, the proceeds of the disposal of the asset secured or charged are paid directly to the Administrative Agent and are applied in prepayment of secured obligations) always be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent to be granted at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion).  Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release such security interest in any Collateral at its discretion without notification or further reference to the Lenders, provided that the disposal is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  This provision shall supersede any conflicting provision in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents

Section 11.29Hedging Liability.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that any Credit Party is not an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, at the time (i) any transaction is entered into under any Hedging Obligation or (ii) such Person becomes a Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, and the effect of the foregoing would be to render any Guaranty Obligations of such Person violative of the Commodity Exchange Act, the Obligations of such Person shall not include (x) in the case of clause (i) above, such transaction and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, any transactions outstanding under any Hedging Obligations as of the date such Person becomes a Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 11.30Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 11.31Dutch Legal Matters.  Lenders are advised to seek Dutch legal advice (i) until the interpretation of the term “public” (as referred to in Article 4.1(1) of the CRR) has been published by the competent authority, if the participation of a Lender in any Loan or Commitment is less than EUR 100,000 (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) and (ii) as soon as the interpretation of the term “public” has been published by the competent authority, if a Lender is or would be considered to be part of the public on the basis of such interpretation.
